Rise and shine, everyone! At 7:00 AM on the dot, those who are asleep will be roused from their slumber by the sound of a bugle call. It seems that breakfast is now served in the Mess Hall. How nice! It's up to you to decide if you want to continue sleeping or not... But maybe it's a good idea to grab a bite and explore your surroundings. After all, it seems the fog has receded enough to reveal a few new locations.

Regardless of what you do, be sure to check the weather before stepping outside. You never know when you might need an umbrella! Once you're up and at them, though, there are a few points of interest this week.

If you swing by the Director's Office, you will find Black Shadows manning the receptionist's desk or flitting in and out of the rooms down the hallway. This week's tasks are now available, and you can check them out on the announcement board in the waiting room. Should you visit the Camp Shop, Purple Heart will be handling all transactions at the checkout counter. Even camp directors hold down normal jobs, you know. Strangely enough, Winter Wizard doesn't seem to be stationed at any set location. Maybe it's their week off? Oh, well. Seems like if you want to get ahold of them, you'll have to pay your respects to the bunnies.

As you explore the camp, however... You may find yourself confronted by scenes from a not so distant past. Or, perhaps, the so-called-movies playing on the big screen are completely foreign to you. But that's not all you will have to deal with this week. Continue skimming the edges of the forest, and you will find yourself going down memory lane. Literally.

Speaking of walking down memory lane, it seems the theater and the portal aren't the only places to relive some fond memories... or revisit ones that are better left in the past. Yes, it's memshare week. It doesn't matter if you cover yourself up from head to toe, or pirouette away from anyone who might make physical contact with you. Simple proximity OR eye contact is enough to get the ball rolling. As soon as this simple condition is met, you will find yourself reliving the other party's memories from their point of view. These memories can either be canon memories, or memories from the game they were previously in. Regardless of what the case may be, this effect will last until Week 4 officially begins.

Have fun, everyone!

shixiong: step out step out of the sun (30)

[ what is it with these traveling portals and animals?!

that. that is a goat, of some kind, though it is larger than anything yin yu has ever seen in his life. he stops where he's reaching for a piece of cheese and stares at it for a moment. the goat, clearly having a very good day, is sticking its entire face towards the champagne flute, which...

...well, that can't be good. he stares at it for a moment longer, and then whistles to try and get its attention, holding up the slice of some kind of meat he was about to eat, to catch its eye. ]
Go on.

[ and, as the moderns say, he yeets the prosciutto or whatever once he's gotten the goat's eye contact, a little ways away from their picnic. it's not exactly aerodynamic. ]

[baaaa, bleats the goat, before trotting off - a little unsteadily, because goats do not have alcohol tolerance so even a few sips of champagne probably has it tipsy - a few feet away to sniff at the prosciutto. it gives it a slightly distrustful look, but then gobbles it up.

the mountain goat has now developed a taste for flesh. it is now trotting over to stick its nose into the picnic basket to see what other goodies await it.

flayn looks torn between laughing and shooing it away.]
shixiong: we start with stars in our eyes (25)

[personal profile] shixiong 2020-07-02 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ the meme marriage ends bc yin yu and flayn are both eaten by a mountain goat-- ok no ]

Ah--hey! [ his distraction technique failed. okay, look, he doesn't live on a farm and feeding ghosts tends to get them to leave you alone too... just when he thinks he's successfully shooed the damn thing off, it shoves its entire nose in the basket.

at least there's nothing in it. yin yu still rises up on his knees to try and swat the goat away from the basket, or at least pull the goat's head out of it so it doesn't get stuck, but the goat, now wobbling and bleating, is absolutely making it harder on him than it should be. ]
--hold still!

[ at this rate either he's going to fall over trying to get the goat free or the goat is. it tosses its head and he barely jerks out of the way, as the handle of the basket gets stuck on one of it's giant horns.

....yy, the ever capable: 0, mountain goat: 1. ]
fishingforcompliments: (036)

[personal profile] fishingforcompliments 2020-07-02 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[yin yu puts forth a valiant effort, but the goat is stubborn (perhaps this is where the term stubborn old goat comes from?) and comes away with the picnic basket stuck on its horns. that's it. it's too much.

it starts first as giggles, but quickly becomes full-blown laughter, and flayn, smiling, reaches over to take yin yu's arm.]


Perhaps it is better to let it have it. We have what was important, after all.

[the goat wobbles off with its prize, apparently content... for now.]
shixiong: lungs filling up with fluid (87)

[personal profile] shixiong 2020-07-02 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[ yin yu is absolutely still trying to wrestle the basket back from the goat when flayn starts giggling behind him. he stops, hands hovering for a minute, and the mountain goat jerks its head back, then starts to wobble backwards, victorious.

as flayn takes his arm, his shoulders slump, and he watches it for a minute, feeling oddly defeated by a stupid goat, but... it's kind of hard to be that displeased with it. flayn's laughing, and okay, he's a little embarrassed because his valiant goat fighting failed, but. as he looks back, the goat does look utterly ridiculous, and yin yu drops back on his butt to sit again and scrubs his hand over his face.

there's a pause.]


...I see the dangers of this place, now: thieving livestock.

[ ...and then, biting his lip to try and stop himself fails, and yin yu starts laughing, too. it's quiet, but nevertheless, he's in his own version of a fit of giggles right along with her. it eventually fades, his brows pinching together, shaking his head at the sheer ridiculousness of the entire situation, the smile remaining on his face. ] I'll take responsibility if the directors are displeased when we return.

...we shall simply have to ensure that there is nothing for them to be displeased over.

[with the goat off doing its own thing (maybe bringing the picnic basket back to its goat brethren?), flayn gestures toward the whiteboard that they, uh, abandoned.]

We are to answer three questions, are we not? To make up for losing the basket, perhaps we should aim for six.

[do i just want an excuse for them to stop using questions they recognize stuff and have no choice but to do the really silly ones? maybe.]
shixiong: maybe i'll just descend to dirt (51)

[personal profile] shixiong 2020-07-03 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
[ there it goes... be free, little goat...

flayn's overachieving solution doesn't make him laugh again, but, he's on board. the amusement is still on his face as he settles back down in his original spot, brushing some of the grass off of his knees and grabbing his own whiteboard once more. ]


I think we can do our best. [ they can certainly try. ] ...Then, I believe it was your turn.
fishingforcompliments: (013)

[personal profile] fishingforcompliments 2020-07-03 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
Ah - yes, you are right...

[hmmm. looking over the questions again... many of these simply don't apply. brand names for washers and dryers...? how should she know that? they don't use such things where either of them come from.

shopping online? don't you normally have to stand in lines if there are people ahead of you at the market...? isn't that the same thing as going to the store?]


Does your w... that is, do I prefer juice, coffee, soda, or something else with my breakfast?

[...and she scribbles something down!]
shixiong: flirt with becoming food for worms (52)

[personal profile] shixiong 2020-07-03 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ oh... he's actually not sure on this one... yin yu makes a soft, thoughtful noise, pondering, and eventually writes--

juice, or tea.
prepared by yourself
- ]
I'm not sure that we've properly had breakfast together, my lady.

[ something to change, maybe... ]
fishingforcompliments: (036)

[personal profile] fishingforcompliments 2020-07-03 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
[flips her board around and it reads-

tea]


...we could change that.

[she looks hopeful!]
Edited 2020-07-03 02:07 (UTC)
shixiong: i'm trying to distract myself (91)

[personal profile] shixiong 2020-07-03 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
[ oh!! he guessed correctly.

yin yu ducks his head, a little nod. ]
What type of tea do you like, my lady?

[ ...that's a yes, if any. he'll make sure it's around... ]
fishingforcompliments: (018)

[personal profile] fishingforcompliments 2020-07-03 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
There are a few types I like. I enjoy almond blends and sweet-apple blends from my homeland... and there is another type I enjoy called Crescent-Moon Tea? I am not quite sure what goes into it, but it has a very soft and subtle flavor.

[


like many from the monastery, she enjoys tea a lot.]
shixiong: lost my sense of home (43)

[personal profile] shixiong 2020-07-03 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Crescent moon, huh... [ he's never heard of that one, but... there's a little irony, in the soft and subtle. to recreate such a thing shouldn't be so hard, for the waning crescent moon officer, now should it.

...hm. anyway, back to these questions. yin yu's brow furrows briefly as he looks at the list again. ]


...What is one bad habit you wish I would stop?

[ he scribbles something down on his board, fairly quickly. ]
fishingforcompliments: (021)

[personal profile] fishingforcompliments 2020-07-03 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[she starts to write down an answer almost immediately. sorry, yin yu.

when she flips the board around, it reads -

not thinking well of yourself]
shixiong: no i've got nothing to say (9)

[personal profile] shixiong 2020-07-03 02:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[ yin yu turns his board. hiding from you.

it's not a match, so no points. yin yu hadn't even considered that as an answer... he's touched, a little, his shoulders hunching, his ears and cheeks both flushing red. ]


... my lady is very kind. [ as ever... he doesn't need to reiterate that there's nothing good to think, especially after earlier this week, does he?

let's change the subject. ]
...next, then.
fishingforcompliments: (014)

[personal profile] fishingforcompliments 2020-07-03 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
I am only telling the truth.

[...but yes, the next question.]

What is one thing that... ["your wife" is just too hard to say.] ...I would like to change about myself?

[...and she writes down an answer to wait for his!]
shixiong: if you keep getting burned (31)

[personal profile] shixiong 2020-07-03 02:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[ yeah he's never reading that question with those exact words ever, either, don't worry. yin yu is thankful for the distraction.

...and, there's a thoughtful pause, before he writes, and turns the board properly.

you want to be stronger in a physical fight
so you can fight for yourself and help protect others.
]
fishingforcompliments: (017)

[personal profile] fishingforcompliments 2020-07-03 02:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[she flips her board around -

i want to be strong enough to protect the people i care about
and give peace of mind to the people who worry over me


flayn smiles.

they're doing pretty well at this game, she thinks.]
shixiong: is this catharsis? (66)

[personal profile] shixiong 2020-07-03 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ yeah.

he ends up smiling back at her, unable to help it. ]


...If you were able to utilize the abilities you did in that memory, I imagine you would be the one protecting all of us. [ that monster was huge, after all. it was wildly impressive--flayn's strength is, as always, more than anyone seems to really give her credit for, in a lot of ways.

mm. anyway. his turn. ]
...Some of these questions are quite odd. [ what is a four cylinder engine? hello? ] Things like 'long hair or short hair', does that really matter...?

[ what kind of newlyweds are these....

moving down the page, he spots one. it's... it needs to be reworded because half of it is incredibly embarrassing, but the essence is the same. ]


....what do I like about you the most?

[ it takes him a minute to write down his answer, but eventually, he does. ]
fishingforcompliments: (014)

[personal profile] fishingforcompliments 2020-07-03 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)
...it really would be nice to have the use of my magic again.

[please! let her! use magic! physical combat has never been her forte, but she can definitely protect people she cares about with spells.]

Well - I suppose everyone has preferences about hair, but... I am not sure that is quite so important. If you are... marrying someone... it is because you love the person they are, correct? And they would be the same person no matter how their hair was styled...

[she's sort of just thinking aloud here.

at least until he asks that question. uh, give her a moment. hm.

she looks

kind of unsure? she's staring down at her whiteboard like she isn't sure how to answer, but she eventually writes something down and turns the board to face him.

my kindness?

...he does call her kind quite often, after all.]
shixiong: and maybe it's upsetting (74)

[personal profile] shixiong 2020-07-03 03:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he turns his back, too.

how kind you are.

and, a little lower on the board, like he got embarrassed (he did) and wasn't going to include it (he wasn't): that you always see me.

aaaaaaaaa okAY, he's embarrassed! this is embarrassing. where's a distraction. ]
--Have we reached six? [ have they? he hopes so. wow. let's grab a snack or something from the remains after their drunk goat tried to steal it all just for something to do with his hands. ]
Edited 2020-07-03 15:12 (UTC)
fishingforcompliments: (034)

[personal profile] fishingforcompliments 2020-07-03 03:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh...

[she's embarrassed, too. her cheeks flush, and she looks down, occupying herself with wiping her whiteboard clean so that she doesn't have to look at his face and he can't look at hers. it's fine! all of this is fine.]

Ah. Five, I believe. Hold on, I shall find a simple question for our last...

[...]

What is one household chore I will say you do better than I do?

[writing down an answer immediately!]
shixiong: is to stop me deeply diving (79)

[personal profile] shixiong 2020-07-03 03:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[ hm. he actually

is not sure? ?? ?? he does lots of chores... like, lots of them. yin yu taps his marker against the edge of the board, staring at it and not anything else in the area at all.

eventually, he writes: rounding up ghosts?, and then lets out a little, sheepish laugh. ]
I think you've stumped me.
fishingforcompliments: (014)

[personal profile] fishingforcompliments 2020-07-03 03:26 pm (UTC)(link)
...

[she turns her whiteboard toward him. it reads cooking.]

...that is right, I have not yet subjected you to my mishaps in the kitchen, have I?
shixiong: did i even make a sound? (39)

[personal profile] shixiong 2020-07-03 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
.... It can't be that bad.



[ Oh No ]
