WEEK 3

[petoskeymods]

WEEK 3

Another Sunday, another day to rest and recover after trial. The weather is now uncomfortably hot and humid after all the rain - perfect swimming weather, if what happened during the execution didn't put you off from swimming for a good long while.

As before, The RV's have changed, but it might not be the best idea to go and bother them after last week's...well, mistake. Maybe give it a week to rest. Additionally, if anyone tries to play the Wii, they will find that Chloe, Talcott, and Sayama's Miis have disappeared - as well that the machine itself is spitting out some strange music at the home screen and the Mii channel. The games seem unaffected by the musical change, at least - and there's now a copy of Mario Party 9 ready to be played alongside Wii Sports. Try not to murder each other or fling the wiimotes into the tv, alright?

The rest of the camp is the same as always, though now fishing equipment is always left out near the lake and beach, and there's a taped on sign on the slope railing declaring 'DO NOT LEAN ON.' Looks like they finally noticed the hazard that thing could potentially be. The kitchen has been fully scrubbed, the faint scent of lemon wafting in the air. Hm.

Two weeks have gone by, and with it, 6 of your fellow campers are gone. There are only six weeks left - six long weeks, and your chances of making it out dwindle all the time.

Knowing that, what will you do?

23 CAMPERS REMAIN.

[meanwhile, this Mitsuru. . . ended up in last place]

I don't understand what I did wrong. . . perhaps I am just not meant to play games such as this one?

[killtheanimals]

I'm not used to these controls...

[Motion controls are??? So weird??? But he's adjusting.]

The randomized element doesn't help either.

[fallbymyhands]

Ridiculous.

[Mitsuru??]

Adding a randomized element is pointless. Aren't these types of games supposed to be a test of skill? There's no way to measure one's skill level if part of it depends on luck.

[:/ :/ :/ mitsuru is judging mario party]

[killtheanimals]

[It's okay, this one is judging too.]

Whether or not you get a star is entirely based on your rolls. [He shakes his head slightly.] And here I'd hoped for something a little entertaining.

[...But he's still playing.]

[fallbymyhands]

[. . . and so is she. with Daisy, even. DAISY SUPERIORITY]

I suppose it's mildly entertaining. I don't understand why Iori gets hooked on these so easily, though. I much prefer reading, or studying.

[killtheanimals]

[Mitsuru picks Koopa again, because it looks slightly less silly than the other options.]

If only there was anything actually useful to read around here...

[Books had been a welcome distraction in the past, a good and simple hobby that he could take with him even through the many, many upheavals.]

[fallbymyhands]

Oh? Are you not a fan of fiction, Ashikawa?

[killtheanimals]

Only if it's good.

[ELITIST.]

[fallbymyhands]

What is your definition of "good?"

[ELITIST]

I find myself enjoying classical French literature, actually.

[killtheanimals]

To be honest, I find books about the occult to be fascinating. [Though those still very much count as fiction, in his mind - or at least, most the stuff found on Earth.] Between that and mythology, it can be interesting to see how people try to explain with their imaginations what they can't explain otherwise. We assign all kinds of meanings to things whether it's accurate or not, because everything must have one, to our minds.

[fallbymyhands]

[that's legit. Mitsuru's seen some strange things, but some occult-related literature is definitely fiction in her mind, too]

It's only natural for someone to attempt to explain the unexplainable. It makes such things far easier to deal with in the long run.

[killtheanimals]

It's easier to blame things on gods and goddesses beyond your reach. [Helps against the despair of knowing that sometimes, things just happen meaninglessly, too.]

Though... I did once find one of those books to be somewhat accurate.

[Time to roll-- looks like they're moving ahead two spaces onto a blue space, nothing bad so far.]
