POPULATION: 24

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 Winter Wizard 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, Black Shadows will be handling all transactions at the checkout counter. Even camp directors hold down normal jobs, you know. Strangely enough, Purple Heart 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.

Speaking of memory lane? Some things are better left in the past. Example: The injuries you acquired during your time in your previous rodeo. Unfortunately for everyone, the past has come back to haunt you in the worst way possible. Upon waking up on Monday morning, everyone will realize they have regained every single injury they obtained in their previous game. Even worse, these injuries will look fresh. Lost body parts will abruptly pop off. Slit throats will reappear. Burns and cuts and scrapes will grace you with their presence once again.

The effect will cover all injuries, including those that led to death. But although they may be fatal, and although they may bleed... they will oddly enough not lead to your death. The same cannot be said for any additional shanking that may happen during the week, however. Try not to get yourself murdered? Your new, conditional zombie state is just that: conditional.

The only saving grace is that, for those who were killed in their previous games, any injuries, marks or horrors wrought upon their corpses after the fatal blow will not appear on their bodies. Phew.

TASK DESCRIPTION:
Still time left to learn and assist others. Study a new skill,
and learn in order to accomplish something on someone
else's behalf.


Please advise when completed. Thank you.

TASK 2

about a secret you're keeping from them.


Oh, and do share if you finish this task.

TASK 3
TASK DESCRIPTION:
We're all stuck in shit creek without a paddle, but that isn't
an excuse to be an asshole. My task for this week? Genuinely
apologize to someone you've wronged.


Leave a note if you finish this task. Thanks!!

TASK 4
TASK DESCRIPTION:
Hmm, feel like starting some shit this week. Tell a lie about
someone in the camp. Make it real juicy. The more outrageous or
devastating, the better.


Leave a five star review on Yelp. ♡

[For the most part, Winter Wizard will remain seated at the receptionist's desk. In addition to the necklace they gained last week, they now wear a blue shawl over their shoulders and chest. Anyone who enters the office will be greeted with a little wave of their hand.]

Don't be shy if you need anything.

Edited 2020-07-13 07:24 (UTC)

[Black Shadows is once again manning the camp store checkout counter... though they don't nod to anyone who enters, this time. They give a little wave instead, and seem to be holding more still than usual.]

Hello. Any purchases needed?

Edited 2020-07-13 05:53 (UTC)

[Upon waking up, campers will discover that all of Yasusada, Sanji, Minako, Zenitsu and Yin Yu's belongings have disappeared from camp. Looking the bulletin board in the Mess Hall will reveal that their boarding passes have disappeared. Additionally, all the flowers in the Memorial Hall have been exchanged for fresh ones, with new bouquets for w4's deceased. The bouquets for the recently departed include:

Yasusada: Purple columbine, milkweed, kingspear
Sanji: Purple verbena, chestnut blossom, purple iris
Minako: Cherry blossom, periwinkle, orchid
Zenitsu: Agrimony, zinnia, turnip blossom
Yin Yu: Honeysuckle, lilac, astilbe

That said, there are other details to notice around camp such as:

1. Talismans and bouquets of white wildflowers has been left at every statue in the Memorial Hall, in addition to the aforementioned bouquets.
2. Folded origami flowers have been left at Nie Huaisang, Evan, Giyuu, Minako, Shinobu, Sanji, Zenitsu, Yin Yu and Yasusada's statues.
3. Folded cranes have been left at Yu, Tsurumaru, Percy, Ogata, Jason, Guy, C-3PO and Hikage's statues.
4. The crabs did not disappear at the end of the week, and continue to rave all day long by the lake. Occasionally, one of Noodle's tentacles can be seen rising from the lake to wiggle along with the crabs.
5. The Arts & Crafts cabin has been repaired, though it's a bit of a blatant patchwork fix. At least the snow can't get in?

Happy Week 5, y'all.]

A. HUMPTY DUMPTY

[Early Monday morning, you might hear a loud slam coming from Ox Cabin. If you're in Ox Cabin, well, you'll see what's up right away...or rather, what's down.]

[Here lies Anaido on the floor face down, his body askew and absolutely broken like one of those crime body outlines. His leg is at a bad angle, his hands are crooked, he just...looks horrible. No overly overt wounds or bleeding, though.]

[He grumbles into the floor.]

Ah, good morning to me, I guess.

B: JIGSAW MAN

[Later, he's managed to get himself a wheelchair, though he's clearly struggling with it because of the broken hands and the rough terrain. Anaido seems to be in good spirits, at least, because if someone is staring at his slumped body he'll just laugh.]

I guess it's good that everything is bleeding on the inside, huh. That's where the blood is supposed to be!

[You can find him staring at the rave crabs, smiling, or just trying his best to wheel himself around the camp as best as he can. It's fine. Everything is fine.]

C: WILDCARD

[God please help him. Anyways plurk me over @ vampirize or DM on discord for PCs and stuff!]

[ good morning everyone, happy monday! for breakfast, the trial screens have been graciously provided. let's also say there's some towels and bandages scavenged from the nurse's hall, just in case. ]

Ah, excuse me, everyone. While I hate to ask while we're all in pain... [ he sounds genuinely remorseful about this, sorry everybody. ] I think we ought to take record of everyone's injuries before the end of the week—it would take us a great deal of time to do so during trial. [ considering how much they're dealing with, here. ]

[ stephanie, from her seat because she is most definitely not going to be standing up right now, bangs a large spoon against the table at that. she will annoy you into paying attention. ]

That means it's time to strip, people! We were nice and got a screen. We can try to organize ourselves like we do during trial and have multiple people help out with this, especially since it might be hard for some of us to do it on our own right now. Just know that any refusal to do this means you are going to make our lives that much harder on Saturday.

[ she's judging the potential problem children. ]

[ monday, probably around midday as the morning has been taken up with stripping for dimitri's pleasure, there's a loud crashing noise that comes from the leopard cabin. followed by some indistinct yelling sounds.

nothing happens for a moment, and then suddenly the door bursts open and wei wuxian bursts out of the cabin, running (or maybe it's more like hobbling with style) like the hounds of hell are after him, nipping at his heels. the figure that emerges next from the cabin is not, in fact, any of the hounds of hell. it's Just Ash, who seems to be holding something in one hand. ]

I SAID GET BACK HERE AND EAT, NOT RUN AWAY LIKE A COWARD.

[ he throws whatever's in his hand at wwx, who

ducks out of the way.

be careful, there's a sandwich flying at you. ]

[ tag order is, to quote aki, no tag order for maximum chaos. have fun y'all. ]

i.

[ beau is a disaster of injuries, but that's fine. she actually doesn't seem to have that much of a problem making her way around camp. in fact, she's probably harassing you right now, to make sure your injuries aren't fucking you up too badly. ]

Hey - you good? [ ............. ] I've got shit to help with pain, if you really need it.

ii.

[ also, beau is staring at the task board with a very frustrated expression on her face. ]

Fucking Winter. You couldn't have given this one out last week?

iii.

[ OR WILDCARD. hit me up for whatever - if you wanna throw a task into one of these, lemme know! i'm down. ]

Edited 2020-07-13 23:14 (UTC)

i. library

[ FUCK. YEAH. there's a library now. after all of monday's shenanigans he's just gonna be Here for as long as he can -- wander in and find him with his nose in a book, and many other books on the tables next to him.

he's... holding the book a little awkwardly, to avoid any bleeding on the books that made be trying to occur. but he's kinda pretty patched up - bandages and gauze peppered over his neck, arms, face and presumably elsewhere, and a bigger, tightly wrapped bandage on his left arm. he's fine. ]

Pretty sure no one's enforcing the "quiet in the library" rule here, but try not to yell in my ear if you're gonna hang out here.

ii. nurse's office.

[ we've all gotta check bandages at some point, right? wander in when ash is in here, and you'll find him trying to change and rewrap his arm bandage using a combination of annoyance, and teeth to tighten it. ]

iii. tasks - entertainment room

[ most of these are talking based ones, but ash is in the entertainment room because if there's one new skill he can learn, it can absolutely be how to play one of these games well, right...? ]

You got any experience with these?

Edited 2020-07-14 00:27 (UTC)

[All of a sudden on Monday, there's a loud pop! coming from Ant Cabin, followed by a shriek.]

Eek!

1. LEARNER'S LICENSE

[Throughout the week, all around the camp, you'll probably catch sight of Asch trying to... well, wheel himself around. it's a very standard wheelchair, so just one arm propelling it tends to............ send it in circles. this is not, unfortunately, a one-armed wheelchair.

will you help him? or just watch from a distance?

(it's pretty funny)]

2. STUDY BUDDY

[Asch is in the library!!! he is hella hitting the books, apparently—around him, stacks of human biology and medical books, as well as emergency first-aid and treatment are open to various pages. at the moments, he seems pretty focused on burn treatment and wrapping, absorbed completely in the words in front of him.

every so often, almost unconsciously, he imitates a diagram in the book—splinting, wrapping, and so on, to confirm he has complete grasp over it.

what are you up to in here? checking out fifty shades of grey?

i mean i guess it is sexboat week, go off. no judgement.]

X. WILD...

[WILD!!! i'm very ok with anything. even more okay if you push asch's wheelchair somewhere. he might need a re-bandaging for all that blood or something.]

bad decisions in the mountains

[this is probably the most inaccessible prompt ever because it's injury week but you know what? that just means there are fewer people who can stop flayn from making bad decisions!! so here she is!! vanishing up the path into the mountains!! take that.

anyway, maybe she's just out here for a hike! catch her while she's walking. or, you know, catch her after she's discovered one end of the zipline and is curiously sorting through the equipment in the booth... uh-oh...]

...I wonder if this is meant to teach us what flying is like...

all aboard the cruise ship

[actually, flayn has some regrets already.

she's just come through the portal. here she is in the lobby, pointedly ignoring the fountain. it's fine. all of this is fine.

(she kind of looks like she's considering turning around and going back to the camp.)]

wildcard

[tasks? other stuff? yeet whatever at me, i'm always glad to engage in nonsense! also, hit me up for pcs if you wanna do anything privately!!]

[Wherever you are on Tuesday morning, you will suddenly hear something repeating one word over and over and over again, like a desperate mantra. Whatever this is, it will continue to come closer to your location... Until finally — you understand what it says.]

s̵͊͑k̵̊̋ḯ̸̍n̶̔̄s̸͆̅k̷͋̂i̴̐͛n̵̈́̚s̸̀̓k̵̊̈I̵̒̓N̸͗̎S̷͒́K̶̀͗I̸̋͆N̶̈̂S̶̈́̕K̷̔̋I̸͋̃N̸͋͗

[Dare to turn around, and you will immediately get mugged by one of these wonderful little creatures. They are, thankfully, incapable of doing anything beside gently pummeling you (it doesn't even hurt, they're plushies) — but they are definitely a great annoyance.

In addition, today in the mess hall campers will find a beautiful display of cookies up for grabs! These painstakingly-beautifully decorated cookies will have lovely sakura flowers on some of them and the rest will spell out Fuck Taako. Hm.

Over at the theater, campers will find a huge number of posterboard-made signs colored in permanent markers around the screen that shows past trials. These signs include things such as:
- OUT OF SERVICE
- THEATER CLOSED TODAY
- WE APOLOGIZE FOR THE INCONVENIENCE
- OUT OF ORDER
- REPAIRS ARE SCHEDULED TO BE FINISHED NEXT WEEK
- THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE WHILE WE FIX THE BROKEN SCREEN

And finally, a new location has become available for Camp Gatonina. Go get your drank on, you crazy kids.]

I. Laundry

[ On Monday, there are two donkeys from the petting zoo parked outside of the Laundry Cabin. If they peek inside, they will see a pile of bedding with Dazai reading the instructions on the back of the detergent. If they look, they can spot there's blotches of blood on them and the front of his shirt. He'll look over. ]

This says it'll get stains out but I doubt it'll work on blood... Maybe I should try lemons?

II. Learning

[ On tuesday, Dazai can be found in the Arts and Crafts cabin. He's reading through guides as he looks at the sewing machine. ]

It looks easier in the book.

[ Does anyone know how to operate the machines and don't mind showing him? Or want to learn with him. ]

III. Wildcard

[ He can be found exploring the new places or in the arts and crafts place. ]

[On Tuesday evening, should anyone venture to the memorial hall they fill find that all of the flowers in front of the statues will begin to move on their own, almost as if their stems have grown feet and begin to make their way toward Spider Cabin. Once inside, they will simply arrange themselves.

Meanwhile, after dinner in the mess hall campers will find a snack bar set up with a few different pizzas and toppings set up! There’s a Margherita pizza, pepperoni, supreme, and a meat lover’s, along with some bowls of different toppings. For those who are more adventurous, they will also find a blueish-black pizza…hope you enjoy your squid ink pizza with its briny, salty flavor and with the stains on your mouth.

And finally…one of you may feel strangely drawn to the theater at this time. Hm…?

ooc: one volunteer for the theater, please!]

tuesday evening, camp

[ majima is lying face down in the snow.

that's it. ]

[DID YOU THINK A WEEK WOULD PASS BY WITHOUT THIS but it's a new face banging on a surface to get people's attention]

So... out of the kindness and generosity of my heart, I'm giving poor and exhausted Akira a break, so listen up! Apparently, the dead have somehow found a way to pay direct visits—but also don't get too excited, because it's for barely any time and they can only do charades. Fun.

But the point is that they said to stop doing Pink's tasks, because the directors are wrong and those are actually giving Pink power. They don't know what Pink is, just that they're growing.

[a beat]

That's it from me. Don't ask me questions because that's literally all I know, I've got no other details for you even if you ask.

[flops back down on his chair]

MINI-EVENT: WISH....................2

Good morning, Camp Gatonina!

The sun is— hiding? Yeah. The sun is hiding, the birds are singing, and on this overcast Wednesday morning, you will not get interrupted by the hellish sound of pots and pans and plastic chickens. Instead, there will be a very polite knock on the door of whichever cabin you're currently staying at. If you don't happen to be in a cabin, perhaps you will hear the voices of the Camp Directors amplified by a megaphone. Though, it seems they have the current state of the majority of their campers into consideration.

"If you need help to get to the Bup Stop, um. Let us know?"

"At least the nice thing is you won’t be performing manual labor this time."

”Will be a collaborative exercise. Please assist each other as you can.”

Surely enough, should you eventually make your way to the Bup Stop, you will find all three directors with their bunnies sitting at a foldable table. A spinning cage rests on top of the table, along with these hats. Nothing is stopping you from leaving if you decide you want nothing to do with this, but if you stick around, the directors will hand out the hats before spinning the cage and handing you a folded piece of paper. Open the slip of paper to find... a prompt from a certain popular 21st century website?

Uh.

Okay, then.

Seems like it's time to put ink to paper, and let those negative emotions flow. Or, something. Write your own angst fic, binches.

- - -

Hello, and welcome to our third mini-event! Participating in this event is 100% optional, but please remember that only those who participate will receive special prizes.

In order to ensure that everyone has a chance to hop in, and to help streamline assignments, we ask that you split yourselves up eight groups of three. The #mini-event-coordination channel is available to help you find partners and organize yourselves. ICly, the Directors will shove characters into groups in the order they arrive at the Bup Stop — but you're free to pair up with whoever you like OOCly.

Once you have your groups, please reply to the ASSIGNMENTS subtl with a list of who forms part of your group. The mods will provide information regarding what, exactly, is their prompt and what challenges await them. Once you've received your flavortext, please create a subtl under this top level to start threading! Players will need to submit threads of 30 comments or more in order to be eligible for prizes. Threads may be submitted here. You will have until Friday, 3pm EST/12pm PST to submit your threads. Good luck!

[On Wednesday afternoon, everyone in camp will find handmade, knitted socks in front of their respective cabins! Hm. Well, at least these socks look cozy...wherever they came from.]

[ so at some point wednesday afternoon/evening around dinner, beau climbs up on a bench and cups her hands around her mouth and just goes HEY at the top of her lungs.

and once everybody is paying attention, she pushes her hair back out of her face and into a ponytail. ]

Okay, so - we've all heard about the super team thing by now, right? We have a way to make that happen, I think. I've been asking around.

So here's some shit that I can confirm - there are items out there that can transfer people to other teams. We've got them, and they're ready to be used. The idea here is to switch a director to another director's team, because after talking to them about it, they're reasonably sure we'll all switch with our director. So for instance, we sign Purple over to Shadows's team, and all of Purple's team ends up on Black Shadows - or whatever fucking combination we wanna go with, don't scream at me about it.

Another thing - I got it confirmed that this would have a positive outcome from several people, including a confirmation from a power or an item. Specifically for Purple signing over to Shadows, but like, I don't think it matters which team goes where as long as we're combining teams.

I wanna know what everybody thinks about this. And I also wanna know what we're doing to make the snake real so we can beat it up, if anybody has ideas.

[ the floor is yours, campers. ]

Hey.

[to. whoever is nearby the bonfire.]

That pink task doesn't say it has to be believable, believed, or in secret. So why don't we just tell each other lies out in the open?

I'll start. Beau's punches are like pathetic little baby slaps. A butterfly could knock her over. She spent all those years training for nothing.

[bam. devastating. you're welcome.]

[ Welcome to Wednesday Announcements........2! He pokes at his wrist, where his scrunchie is sitting. ]

If I could have a moment... I believe many of you are already aware of this, but some of the scrunchies have been changing. [ he points out the sequins on the ears, specifically ] In certain cases, their ears have shifted to gold.

I'd like to compile how many of each we have, and when they began to change. I've been told that the dead have yet to figure out what triggers this, but it is a good change. They want numbers, so I can only believe they're still investigating. If you prefer, you can tell me privately, but I think it is in our best interest as a collective to work together.

[ next... ]

Also, I believe we've spoken of this before, but to confirm, the dead will also change teams alongside us. So if we continue along the current track, we should keep in mind they are affected by what we choose to do.

[ and finally, ]

The last point was... less clear to me. But I'm fairly certain that we are meant to collaborate with Jadericho. He raised another point, which I asked for some clarification on, but... in relation to Jadericho, we are meant to... [ this is where he looks. less sure. he crosses his arms in an X, then tosses them? like he's discarding something? ] throw them out...? In any case, if we cannot figure it out, I think we should ask the dead to elaborate. It seems they know something we do not.

[ someone with jade mask lore please help ]

[Today on this fine overcast day...everyone in Gatonina will be treated to the dulcet tones of ...whatever the hell this is? It’s loud and it’s proud and it draws the attention of all.

Should campers choose to follow the sound, they’ll find Purple Heart and Black Shadows at the bonfire, and when all gather around Purple Heart turns to the crowd and looks for someone specific as Winter Wizard stands by as witness with a boombox in their hands, shoulders shaking with laughter.]

Hey, Taako. Gimme the ring? There’s a very important question I have to ask someone special.

[Black Shadows stands next to him, looking a little nervous? Their hands are folded in front of them and they are just. Trying so hard to ignore Winter's laughter.]

Did not sound as if there was much objection, so.... we are willing to test.

[Please let them live.]
