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.

I see. You throw the ground away the first chance you get to get me alone.

[ He'll follow after. ]

What can I say? You're too irresistible.

[e says that in a COMPLETE DEADPAN but somehow still manages to sound like he's teasing]

[personal profile] shortfornow 2020-07-06 08:11 pm (UTC)(link)
It's the hair. People tend to like the messy waves.

[ Sounding equally deadpan while looking at Akira's hair. ]

[cards a hand through his own hair and just nods sagely]

They are very cute.

[opening the door to the arts and crafts cabin!]

[personal profile] shortfornow 2020-07-06 09:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Time to go into the arts and crafts cabin. It's been a while since they both have been in here. ]

It's also useful for hiding any wounds.

[ Or scars and uneven hair in his case. He's going to peek through the cabinets to pull out some crayons. Might as well doing something while they play twenty questions. ]

[they can make postcards while they're here!!]

Don't say that in front of anyone else or you might get accused of murder.
shortfornow: <user name="tanabata"> (10)

[personal profile] shortfornow 2020-07-07 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
Or they'll just start searching our hair even closer.

[ Time to make postcards but probably not for any of the dead. ]

Do you like cats or dogs better?
survivaltricks: (pic#13006341)

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2020-07-07 05:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Cats.

[that answer comes easily!!]

But I like dogs plenty, too. Do you prefer tea or coffee?

[20 QUESTIONS, GO]
shortfornow: <user name="tanabata"> (12)

[personal profile] shortfornow 2020-07-07 06:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ why would you betray missile like this ]

I suppose coffee. Where did you learn how to make curry?
survivaltricks: (pic#13008355)

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2020-07-07 06:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[ah]

[Akira's smile softens]


My guardian taught me. He runs a coffee and curry cafe. The recipe is his family secret.

. . . why did you join the mafia?

[oh. now we're getting serious]
shortfornow: <user name="tanabata"> (3)

cw; dazai

[personal profile] shortfornow 2020-07-07 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Hm. Watching Akira for a moment before he picks up crayons to start drawing.]

I officially joined the group because death was a daily part of life among the group. Fighting beside Chuuya made me see that I could observe it close to find some worth in living.

I'm surprised you haven't heard about it from Chuuya already. Why were you arrested before?
survivaltricks: (pic#13004448)

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2020-07-07 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[. . .]

[he shakes his head, reaching for a crayon as well]


Your story is your story. I'm not going to ask for it from Chuuya when I can hear it from you myself.

[he keeps his expression even when answering the next part]

I tried to stop a drunk man from harassing a woman. He tripped and fell, and was injured in the process. He told the woman to lie about what had happened; she told the cops that I had attacked him, and they arrested me and charged me with assault. I was convicted.

[also now he is doodling on some construction paper]

Do you plan on staying with the mafia, or do you want a new life, too?
shortfornow: <user name="tanabata"> (5)

[personal profile] shortfornow 2020-07-07 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, so she didn't help you after you tried to help her. Is that why you're living with a guardian instead of your parents?

[ He's quiet for a moment as he considers both that he doesn't get the story from Chuuya and doesn't know the plans for the future. ]

Looks like you're telling the truth if you're asking about the future. While I am aware you have talked about me, it doesn't seem like it's anything beyond showing your disapproval of me.

I'm going with Chuuya to Reito's world. If we can't find a way there, then we're heading back to find a new path.
survivaltricks: (pic#13006312)

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2020-07-07 08:20 pm (UTC)(link)
. . . yes.

[no problem answering that even though Dazai didn't answer him first!!]

Mmm, no. We've talked about you a few times, and not all of it was bad. I'm just protective of him; you know that.

[looking up at Dazai again]

. . . but I'm happy to hear that.

[he thinks they both deserve something better than the shitty mafia]
shortfornow: <user name="tanabata"> (12)

[personal profile] shortfornow 2020-07-07 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I know. He did tell me about what you feel about him. I also know it's in the platonic sense of the word.

[ Akira can at least can get they are communicating from this. ]

That also answers your question of my desire for getting a new life. I do want one, it's just a matter of when it can happen. Or if it can.

[ Considering their present situation... ]
survivaltricks: (pic#13006406)

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2020-07-07 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[huffs a little at that, a bit sheepish. but he's glad to hear them communicating]

It will.

[he sounds so determined]

We'll all make it out alive. Somehow. . . some way.

[personal profile] shortfornow 2020-07-07 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Don't be soft. ]

I feel like this group could pull something off in the end.

[ Pushes a crayon drawing of a cat with coffee over to Akira.

Time to get back to playing the game. ]


Do you have any regrets about any of the choices you've made?
survivaltricks: (pic#13006430)

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2020-07-07 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[his lips quirk, and he pushes a cute little fox drawing at Dazai. LOOK. NEW FRIENDSHIP]

. . . only one.

[does he even have to say what it is aloud]

But when it comes to everything else? No.
shortfornow: <user name="tanabata"> (10)

[personal profile] shortfornow 2020-07-08 12:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ Looking at the fox drawing. ]

You should ask me something before I decide to go again.
survivaltricks: (pic#13006428)

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2020-07-08 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
-- ah.

[RIGHT, DON'T GET DISTRACTED. what number question are they even on?]

What's your favorite pastime?
shortfornow: (61)

cw: suicide

[personal profile] shortfornow 2020-07-08 02:35 am (UTC)(link)
Reading about suicide methods and bothering Chuuya. If those don't count, then video games.

[ He's had someone say they didn't count before... ]

Which of your friends from your world do you miss the most?
survivaltricks: (pic#13004436)

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2020-07-08 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[. . . squinting at Dazai!!]

The first one doesn't count.

[he'll count bothering Chuuya and video games, though]

And I miss them all pretty equally, but if you made me pick, then it'd be Morgana.

[BAG CAT 8(]

Do you still want to die as badly as you did in that memory I saw?
shortfornow: (13)

cw dazai/suicide

[personal profile] shortfornow 2020-07-09 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
I keep hearing that.

[ This is prejudice against suicide maniacs.

He doesn't think Akira could pick a person then, so that leaves... ]


That's that cat, right?

[ The next question does get him to pause. ]

Not as badly as before, no. I still think about it from time to time.
survivaltricks: (pic#13102119)

[personal profile] survivaltricks 2020-07-10 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Because it's true.

[IT'S NOT HEALTHY TO FANTASIZE ABOUT SUICIDE, DAZAI. he nods at the question about Mona being a cat, but doesn't verbally answer. if only because he's focusingo n Dazai's response to his own question]

. . . I'm glad. Is it because of Chuuya?
shortfornow: <user name="tanabata"> (1)

[personal profile] shortfornow 2020-07-10 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Look... ]

Chuuya may have helped with the reason. I came to find life was worth trying to live.
