POPULATION: 35 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!

To use Lorelei's power to save the planet.

[fishingforcompliments]

...your planet was in danger?

[getdrekt]

Yes. Once or twice.

[fishingforcompliments]

Well... I am glad it was able to be saved...?

[getdrekt]

[he nods at the question. it's okay.]

[fishingforcompliments]

[phew. oh, good. she lets out a little sigh of relief]

[getdrekt]

I imagine it's experiencing some problems at the moment, however.

[extrapolating. it's just a guess.]

[fishingforcompliments]

...what makes you say that?

[her first thought - is it because someone he knew left the planet and became a god??]

[getdrekt]

[he hums, and starts ticking some things off.]

The fall of the Order of Lorelei, leaving a power vacuum. The cessation of Score readings. The planet storm's removal will cause fonic artes to weaken world-wide, leading to a need for new power sources. General chaos from the fall of Eldrant, replicated lands, and lack of understanding towards major changes.

If I knew better, I'd say Auldrant at large is headed for a war. But I don't.

[fishingforcompliments]

[War.

Flayn shudders.]

...I hope that it is not. But... that does seem like quite a lot for your world to be dealing with all at once.

[getdrekt]

[he nods.]

The world has dealt with hundreds of conflicts and wars. If nothing else, the groups in charge now will be able to divert the course away from violence as best as they are able to. They have the support of the world's major governments—it's simply a matter of quelling rebels and upstarts who disagree with the changes.

Some level of violence is inevitable—but if it leads to overall peace, then so be it.

[fishingforcompliments]

[she hates it, but...]

...I suppose you are right. What is the saying - "Peace must be won at the point of a sword"?

It would be nice if such a thing was unnecessary, though.

[getdrekt]

An apt expression. And shadows show us how bright the light can be.

But wars are won through strength—peace, through ideas. There has to a balance, for an ongoing solution.

[fishingforcompliments]

One of the professors at the monastery said something similar - that if a place shines brighter than anywhere else, its shadows will be darker too...

[hmm.]

I suppose that means if a situation seems to be especially dark, it can be all the brighter when you manage to make it through it. ...I hope that is true.

[getdrekt]

...Your professor sounds like they knew the world well.

[he nods in agreement.]

Exactly that. So...

...Keep your head up.

[fishingforcompliments]

...I shall try to.

I hope you will do the same.

[ha ha.]

[getdrekt]

[ha ha!

well, nice tour! seeya later! totally normal parting!!]
