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.

I'm not being weird. I'm being efficient. It's your turn.

[successives]

If you're not being weird, then get out of the corner.

[She sighs, though, leaning against the wall.]

Fine. Whatever. What's your favorite animal?

[bittybat]

[NO, HIS SHADOWWWWWS. Fine, he comes out of the Dark Corner. :\]

Cats. [He peers at her.] When do you feel truly alive?

[successives]

I - when I'm playing piano, I guess? Can you please stop picking questions like this?

[Anyways.]

Uh... Biggest pet peeve?

[bittybat]

The questions are used to get to know someone better, Goodman.

[Or, like... vet them... as Bats do.]

...Obnoxious chewing. What is something you're certain you'll never experience?

[successives]

Aw, you want to get to know me better?

[She tilts her head.]

Something I don't want to experience, I guess. Skydiving, maybe? [...] If you could live in any place on Earth, where would you pick?

[bittybat]

[He makes a face at her. STOP.]

Skydiving isn't bad. [Don't listen to him.] Somewhere near the bottom of the Himalayas.

[successives]

Yeah? Why's that?

[bittybat]

I enjoy Tibet, training there, and Tibetan Buddhism. Tibet is one of the highest regions on the planet. The air is different. The horizon is different.

What's the farthest you've ever been from home?

[successives]

Oh - are you Buddhist? I didn't know that.

[She thinks about that for a moment.]

Uh, the two pocket dimensions we've both been to...?

[bittybat]

I'm an atheist. But if there's one faith I prefer, it would be Buddhism.

[Well, she answered the question, he supposes.]

What's the farthest you have ever been on Earth?

[successives]

The Grand Canyon. It's a few states away from where I live. What's your favorite season?

[bittybat]

West Coast? You and Todd are disgustingly Romeo and Juliet, I see. [Romeo is dead, now it is Natalie's turn.] Winter. The al Ghul island had a warm climate. The most we saw were monsoons.

What is your favorite thing to eat for breakfast?

[successives]

Shut up, Damian.

[There’s a little edge to her voice that wasn’t there before as she says that, but it’s gone as she continues.]

Bacon and eggs. Favorite movie?

[bittybat]

[Fine. While he doesn't understand the real weight, he gets the growl. His brows furrow.]

The Gray Ghost.

[successives]

...Never heard of it. What is it?

[bittybat]

It's actually a television series, but there have been a few movies. It was something my father said he liked when he was a boy.

It's about a caped and masked hero who stops evil-doers.

[HM.]

[successives]

[......]

You are such a nerd.

[bittybat]

[He just makes a face at her.]

I don't see how this constitutes any status of nerd, Goodman. [A pause.] You're a nerd.

You said playing the piano made you feel more alive.

[successives]

Music is way more culturally impactful than your superhero movie.

[bittybat]

[He looks slightly scandalized at the notion Natalie is ranking the two of them together.]

Neither of those are comparable in any way.

[successives]

You're right. Yours is really nerdy and mine isn't. Your turn to ask a question.
