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.

Then... I suppose we should go find somewhere to lock ourselves in and ask?

Though I must confess I do not understand what the locking has to do with it.

[daifukus]

....... Perhaps a quiet spot will do?

[ he'd. rather not be in a locked room right now honestly. ]

[fishingforcompliments]

I hope so. ...there is only one way to find out!

[TIME TO FIND A QUIET SPOT. if it doesn't count, eh, they'll just be down a voucher.]

[daifukus]

[ TO A QUIET CORNER...! because it damn well better count or somebody will :beegun: grumpily about it ]

Well then, would you like to begin?

[fishingforcompliments]

Certainly! But before we begin... do you prefer the version where we ask each other twenty questions, or the version where one of us thinks of something and the other has to guess what it is by asking up to twenty yes-or-no questions?

[daifukus]

[ a long pause ]

There are multiple versions?

[fishingforcompliments]

I have heard others say so, yes.

[daifukus]

[ why this ]

I suppose whichever sounds the more interesting to you, Flayn-dono. I have little to no experience with either.

[fishingforcompliments]

...well... I would prefer to learn more about you. So! We shall play the version where we ask questions about each other.

[she smiles]

To begin with... what is the most impressive thing that you know how to do?

[daifukus]

[ that works for him!! but then he blinks because, hm. anything relating to his true nature isn't really that impressive tbh ]

I suppose song and dance.

[fishingforcompliments]

You are rather good at that, it is true! And you are a wonderful teacher.

[it is pretty impressive.]

[daifukus]

[ he blushes ]

My thanks. [ and quickly, before he combusts ]... Is there any skill you'd like to learn?

[fishingforcompliments]

Hmm... well, I would like to become more skilled with riding horses! I can ride, of course - but the Professor would eventually like me to take a certification exam to become a Holy Knight, so I will need to be better with them than I am.

[daifukus]

[ he.....slowly looks up...]

You wish to learn horse riding?

[ tonbo control your excitement ]

[fishingforcompliments]

Yes! Do you ride?

[daifukus]

Mm! My master was well know for his beloved steed and thus it’s passed onto me. I don’t get to as much as I wish since arriving but I have spent a good amount of time in these stables.

[ he named one of the horses already ]

[fishingforcompliments]

Oh, wonderful! Then, we simply must go horseback riding together, one of these days!

[daifukus]

[ there’s a long pause and tonbo gives her a slide glance, eyes twinkling mischievously ] Would you like to go now?

We could continue the questions as we go.

[fishingforcompliments]

Yes! I would like that very much!

{time to NYOOM.]

[daifukus]

[ they did a handful, it counts ]

Then let us go before the day escapes.

[ nyooms fastly to the stables. tonbo goes right for one of the horses in specific, petting his nose while pulling treats out of his pockets ]

Hello, Sanjiro. How are you today?

[fishingforcompliments]

Oh, you named him?

[cute... flayn reaches over to give tonbo's horse a little pat before heading for one that is slightly smaller and therefore easier for her to ride.

time to pet its mane soothingly.]

Hello there...

[daifukus]

I did not see a nameplate of any sort...

[ he probably missed it just like he did with the buns but ALAS. it's his new nickname regardlessly. ]

I felt it rather suiting given how he is the one I have come to the most often.

[ sanjiro gets extra special pats for a being a good boy. before tonbo goes off to fetch his gear ]

[fishingforcompliments]

It is important to call your companions by their names!

[with a smile, she gives her horse a little pat before going to grab her gear, too. time to suit up...]

I am sure he feels quite close to you by now.

[daifukus]

I certainly hope so-!

[ he's gone for so many rides to clear his head after all. hopefully sanjiro can feel all the appreciation he has for him.

but with a gentle brushing and quick work of the brindle, tonbo's Ready To Go whenever she is ]

[fishingforcompliments]

[ONWARD... they can have a nice time horseback riding before everything goes to shit in a week.]
