WEEK FOUR

▽ FULL NAVIGATION ▽ LOCATIONS ▽ STATUSES ▽ IC PROFILES ▽ IC RULEBOOK ▽ MURDER PROPOSALS ▽ PCS ▽ CURFEW ▽ AUDIENCES ▽ CAMP STORE ▽ REPORTING

POPULATION: 29 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 Purple Heart 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, Winter Wizard will be handling all transactions at the checkout counter. Even camp directors hold down normal jobs, you know. Strangely enough, Black Shadows 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. After the events of last week, perhaps you yearn for privacy. Unfortunately, it seems that though your past will no longer be put on blast, your feelings will be made known to those around you instead. Should you come into physical contact with somebody else, you immediately become aware of whatever emotion they are feeling and vice versa. The feeling will linger for five seconds after physical contact has been broken, at which point it will fade. But the knowledge will remain with you. And even worse, it doesn't necessarily have to be skin-to-skin contact like in your first week. As long as you are physically touching them, that will be enough for the effect to take place. Whether you want to or not, it seems like this is the week to wear your heart on your sleeve. Good luck.

time for S H A M I N G get in here Beau and Phoenix

[Someone is taking one look at the board in the mess hall and then immediately going and tracking down a couple specific people. This is in public and not in a PC because he is absolutely not tracking them down privately, he too angry for that.]

So.

That's not his power, huh?




A real prompt for everyone else


[After the above mess, he'll be back in the mess hall, looking at the task descriptions.]

Shadows is pretty serious about cleaning up everything, aren't they? Ah well, this week's choices aren't too bad.

[Then he's looking to someone nearby before nodding to the board.]

I'm not doing pink's task, but you wanna do one of the others?



And then, video games

[Is your character from the past? Or maybe a world without video games? Or do they look like they need to be cheered up?

If so, Chuuya will be trying to get their attention.]

C'mon, I gotta show you something.

[Time for GAMES]

shame prompt

[disreguarded]

[ she's curled up in the mess hall not eating, just staring at a tray. ]

I don't have to confirm anything to you.

[shortforever]

Well you don't have to now, since the board already confirmed it for you. But I hope you're happy with the outcome, that's an hour we could have spent figuring out the other culprits rather than wasting time on "oh no, why did Percy kill Jason?"

[disreguarded]

You don't know what his power was. You can make a guess, but you don't know.

video games

[applechemist]

[ Escha has seen a couple of games, but her exposure to them is still very limited. It's always exciting to see new technology! ]

Sure! What is it? Something fun?

[shortforever]

It's tons of fun. A little retro, but fun.

[Time to get those N*ntendo 64 controllers!]

[applechemist]

Retro... That means old, right? I like old things.

[ N*ntendo... Ancient technology... What's the difference? ]

the real prompt

[swordflash]

[Some time after that mess, Zenitsu is also back in the mess hall. Surprised by Chuuya's offer, he studies the board's contents himself with a thoughtful hum.]

I guess we can clean the entertainment room.

[shortforever]

Yeah, that's probably the better one right now.

[He's still irritated from earlier, but not as mad as he had been during the fight earlier. ]

C'mon, let's go.

[swordflash]

[Totally understandable.

Zenitsu trails after Chuuya, not saying a word until they've reached the entertainment room. He steps inside to appraise the damage and opens his mouth to speak when a movie case flings itself off the shelf to hit him on the side of his head.]

Ouch!

shaming

[slobjection]

[ yeah phoenix went straight to the board as soon as he had a second and wasn't depression napping thru all the beau stuff so yeah ]

... It doesn't quite add up with what he told me about it.

In retrospect, you were absolutely correct.

[shortforever]

[He wants to yell at Phoenix like he yelled at Beau, but hearing that NHS hadn't been truthful to Phoenix makes him stop before that even starts. Hearing that he was right also helps his temper too.]

He lied to you, huh? That sucks. He was good at hiding the truth, it looks like.

[slobjection]

... Suppose there was a part of me that believed he wouldn't kill kids, too.

[ taking a sip of his grape juice..... ]

My mistake.

real? prompt? or vidya

[recrypt]

[ 45 is none of the categories mentioned in the video games prompt, but let's be real, like

would chuuya not be trying to rope her into a gaming session. ]

Hm? What do you have in mind?

[shortforever]

[That is very valid.]

There's not too many games here, but I found this cool one where you take pictures of ghosts, so we should try playing that one together.

[recrypt]

Is that a multiplayer game? It doesn't exactly sound like it.

[ but hey, it's not like she's saying no. ]

video games

[unpredicktable]

[ i mean he probably does look like he needs cheering up, but on the other hand, also doesn't. either way. he'll look intrigued? ]

You know, oddly enough, that sentence doesn't normally bode that well for me.

[ but he still follows ]

[shortforever]

To be fair, if I said it normally, it wouldn't bode well for you. But I'm not up to anything today, I promise.

[If he admits to being a shitbag maybe it will make him sound more genuine?

Regardless, it's time for video games.]

Check it out! This place finally got something fun for everyone to do.

[unpredicktable]

The "today" is the most ominous part of that sentence. Just so you know.

[ but he followed anyway, and. !!! he immediately goes to look at the n64 ]

Woah, retro. I can't believe they've been hiding games this whole time? I started to entertain myself by making glitter paper airplanes out of desperation more than once.

[ this may not be entirely accurate, but also, video games!! ]

vidya

[okitactless]

[HELLO CHUUYA here is your Ye Olde Kinda Roommate. He tilts his head, trotting over, arm still in its sling.]

What is it?

[shortforever]

[C'mere sword boy.]

Ever played video games before?

a real prompt!

[unfriendliest]

...The only task I don't have is the questions.

[ which he is

clearly a bit uncomfortable with ]

[shortforever]

That's fine, we can do that one.

[He can see that uncomfortable look though.]

Let's put a rule in: you can say 'no' if you don't wanna answer something.

video games!!

[fishingforcompliments]

What is it?

[Flayn doesn't even hesitate. She's just going to go along with whatever he suggests, because she trusts this gremlin.]

[shortforever]

[OH NO FLAYN

He. He can't spook her with games like he's done with the others. That's too mean.]

It's kinda like movies, except you get to play them. But fair warning, all the games here are pretty scary.
