POPULATION: 22 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 stretch your legs now that last week's effect has vanished. It looks like you have access to all that Camp Gatonina has to offer you. 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 Wen Ning 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, Junpei will be handling all transactions at the checkout counter. Even camp directors hold down normal jobs, you know. Strangely enough, Veronica doesn't seem to be stationed at any set location. Maybe it's her week off? Oh, well. Seems like if you want to get ahold of her, 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. While the injuries you magically regained are now gone, it seems like the camp isn't done messing with your physical appearance. Upon waking up on Monday, everyone will notice that they have undergone a transformation. Perhaps you have gained animal features. Or, perhaps, you have transformed into a creature from mythology or fairy tales. Whatever the case, though your personality will remain the same, it seems like you're no longer the type of being you used to be — human or otherwise. You will not gain any enhanced senses or abilities from this, but... well. Good luck, everyone. It's creature transformation week.

[she will do the gestures again.]

I asked if the leg and arm were literal - he nodded. I asked if he had to hit something, he said no.

The sequence afterward was...

[she points to herself. she points to her eye. she points to the same leg and arm. she then extends her fingers away from her palm, and then makes contact with her leg and arm. when she makes contact with each limb, she moves them horizontally.]

[chaoticlootral]

Um, like paying an arm and a leg?

[coastal]

Perhaps so?

Is that our own body parts that we'll have to sacrifice?

[fishingforcompliments]

Um -

Actually. I just realized...

[digging through her belongings to pull out... a little thing made of pink paper!]

...would it be helpful if I asked what the dead were attempting to communicate to those they visited?

[coastal]

[oh my god.]

Yes.

Is that a prize for something?

The answer is yes, regardless. Unless we can think of needing it for something else later.

[fishingforcompliments]

It was in my cabin this morning...

[she'll hold onto it for now]

I am glad to use it for whatever we collectively decide is best. Simply tell me what you would like me to ask, and when.

[disreguarded]

I've got one too so we've got backups.

[chaoticlootral]

Me three.

[chaoticlootral]

Well if he said-- [Pausing to sniffle.] If he said it was literal, I don't know what the fuck, because normally that's kind of a metaphor for something having a high price, but . . .

[Making the gesture with his hand>]

Was he trying to count something?

[coastal]

Maybe....?

[she tries to think back.]

He tried something else - he gestured...

[holds up one finger.

points to herself.

points to her mouth.]

... but apparently that had nothing to do with speaking or eating.

[disreguarded]

[ WHAT THE FUCK DOES THAT MEAN

beau sneezes. guhhh. also if lili is close she can probably smell weed. ]

The like, movement has to be important. [ and after anaido's thing: ] Gods, I hope we don't have to die in order to fight the snake.

[coastal]

[beau is not the first person who has smelled like weed today she just asks you all fucking shower]

Please wash yourself soon.

[sure i guess she'll just say it]

I hope we don't either? What even happened to 'winner take all'? Haven't we won yet?

[disreguarded]

[ look sometimes you have feathers and showers suck!!! ]

Don't boss me around. [ it's so mild, though. ] I - see, I assumed we'd won since we're all one team and we got fired?

But somehow I feel like maybe the fucking snake isn't going to play fair, since I guess we kind of found a loophole.

Do we even know if the directors are actually dead?

[coastal]

We don't - I only presume that they are since we can't find them. Some of us got items that can locate people, so we can use them tomorrow if we need to. If we're given bodies, it won't be necessary - but if we aren't, we'll try to cut out the random searching.

But I can't decipher the rest. I want to kill the pink thing regardless, so I don't mind if we need to fight to secure our victory, but I don't understand how all these pieces fit together.

[wowcool]

[Smirking:]

Maybe its the order where we need to find the weak spots of the big boss, like in an RPG.

[coastal]

Arpy....?

[what is an RPG]

Perhaps... He gestured to his mouth afterward? But then he abandoned that line of hints too.

[wowcool]

In a game, in order to destroy the big boss monster, you sometimes have to destroy or uncover weak points on its body in order.

[Mouth, though?]

How mysterious. We should write down the order, though. For reference.

[chaoticlootral]

A key biological feature of snakes is that they generally do not have arms and legs though, my man.

[wowcool]

[A sniffle.]

Maybe its a lizard who wants to become a snake, hm.

[coastal]

[she just sighs and nods.]

Perhaps...

Leg? Opposite arm? He gestured at his mouth later?

[axilium]

Maybe we have to activate an arm and a leg or something...?

[coastal]

Activate....?

[axilium]

When Evan did it, did he start moving his limbs specifically only after he touched them?

[coastal]

[she nods.]

Only those limbs.

[axilium]

Based off that, I feel like the implication is more that they'll start moving based off something...? Not sure what he's trying to say would be the trigger, though, or if this is a good or bad thing.

Though it's just a guess.
