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.

[

he steps away. good luck, wei wuxian.]

[BELPH THE BETRAYAL...

Anyway since Belph is the first person he's seeing this week that means he does not yet know about the touch curse, which means he's REACHING OUT TO GRAB HOLD OF BELPH'S SHIRT AND BELPH GETS A BIG OLD WHOPPIN' DOSE OF - mostly amusement, honestly, and a gross sappy fondness.]

How could you abandon me in my time of need—! After all the alcohol I shared with you...!

You deserve this.

[She says to WWX, who she is still hobbling towards. It’s fine.]

[WWX WHY

wei wuxian just gets exhaustion ig]

Sorry, but Natalie could beat me with her crutches if she wanted.

[HE'S CURSED THAT'S WHY. Anyway thanks for the extra exhaustion. He'll try to dart around the other side of Belph.]

I do not! [TO NATALIE, ADAMANTLY. Then:] Why do you have so little faith in yourself...

He's right and he should say it.

[She's following WWX around Belph's other side. It's fine.]

[this sure is happening]

What did you even do, man?

[They are now hobbling in a circle around Belph.]

Why do you think it's something I did!

[Yakety sax plays softly in the background as they just circle around Belph stupidly.]

Don't trust him.

So... what did he do?

I've done nothing wrong!

[HE IS STILL CIRCLING.]

He's embarrassing and weird!

[On and on they go...]

Well, this tells me nothing.

[Belph just standing there and letting this happen is killing me.]

Aiyo, you're so rude to me--! You're rude, radish! You're a rude radish!

[That probably tells him even less of the nothing he already had.]

I told you already you're not my real dad!

[Belph truly does not deserve this, and yet.]

... Have you two considered group therapy?

[BELPH.]

It's not my fault she won't accept me! She's the world's least grateful radish, it's terrible. I break my back every day in the fields...

[As he just trails off into GRUMBLING.]

I don't think that you should be talking about therapy.

[And then, to WWX:]

Maybe I would appreciate you more if you stopped calling me a vegetable.
