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.

[...

an expression plays across his face, quiet, thoughtful, and nearly inscrutable.]

You have a sunny disposition, Flayn.

[fishingforcompliments]

[she actually laughs a little at that]

...oh, please, no need for false flattery! I am well aware that I have not been particularly sunny these past few weeks.

[getdrekt]

On the contrary.

You stay quite strong—although it sometimes seems you tend to keep a smile on your face even when you'd rather not.

[he hums.]

You cheer others. I hope you feel cheered by them, in turn.

[fishingforcompliments]

[wow that



wow. flayn stares at him for a few long moments, her cheeks a faint pink.]

...I. Thank you.

[getdrekt]

[Asch inclines his head, wading into the water, surf splashing at his ankles.

she is still wearing his sunglasses.]

It's simply a statement of fact.

[he shifts a foot, and pulls out a shell, washing it off a wave.]

[fishingforcompliments]

[good that means she can stare without it being super obvious]

...oh, what is that you found?

[getdrekt]

Just a shell.

[he shakes the water out of it, then holds it out to Flayn.]

Here.

[fishingforcompliments]

[examines the shell!]

How cute...

[too bad they can't take it through the portal with them]

[getdrekt]

[he flips it back into the ocean. farewell, little shell.]

Anything around here you recommend, before we head back?

[fishingforcompliments]

...

[she



can't think of anything on this entire godforsaken island that hasn't been tainted by murder.]

[getdrekt]

...That good, is it?

[yikes]

Perhaps we should simply head back. [even the beach and the ocean is fucked up???]

[fishingforcompliments]

...mm, well, there was a lot that happened here, and only so many places where anything could happen.

[...]

That might be for the best. It really is a shame that such a beautiful looking island had to be where it all happened...

[getdrekt]

I suppose everyone feels the same about their own locations. [the manor fuckin sucked, so!!!

he ambles back over to his towel, and scoops up his t-shirt, pulling it on.]

You can keep the sunglasses, though.

[fishingforcompliments]

Most likely, yes.

[steps away from the water...]

Oh, wait! Before we go, have you seen the dancing crabs?

[getdrekt]

The crabs.

[deadpan.]

Yes.

[fishingforcompliments]

They are very cute, are they not?

[flayn, your taste]

[getdrekt]

[.......................................]

...Yes.

[NO]

[fishingforcompliments]

They tasted very good when they were cooked, too!

[welp]

[getdrekt]

[.........pfft

pffffhfhhahahahahahahahha

he's

absolutely doubled over

in silent laughter.]

[fishingforcompliments]

...um.

[???????????????]

[getdrekt]

[he holds up a hand.

please

give him a moment.

...

he slowly straightens up, expression very sober.

there's a puff of air through his nose. it's fine. he's keeping it together.]

Delicious, were they?

[his voice pitches up at the end of the sentence, lips twitching with mirth.]

[fishingforcompliments]

...yes? Seafood is quite delicious!

Although fish are more delicious, usually.

[getdrekt]

[he scoffs, and clears his throat. ahem.]

Well?

Should we collect a few? For later? [for dinner?]

[fishingforcompliments]

Hmm... unfortunately, I do not believe we would be able to bring them back to the camp with us.

[getdrekt]

We could always cook them here!

[he's gonna lose it again if she says yes.]
