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.

[ Boa looks at the first lines for a longer time than necessary. Mitsuru noticed his emotions and it doesn't even seem like he's judging him. That makes no sense at all, but Boa... appreciates it? Against all odds, the reassurance means a lot to him.
He's learned to accept hugs in the past few weeks, yet accepting this feels like a harder, bigger step.

Eventually, he nods and picks up the pencil for response. They have to get back to business here. It's what they do, it's why they like each other work together. ]

Profiles? How much information is on them?

[killtheanimals]

[This part comes out more smoothly:

"Information on how much of a threat we pose to hunters, mostly. It seems I'm to be killed on sight if I leave the campgrounds." So, you know. That's fun. "Also candidacy for something. The 'final protocol.'"

His pencil stops, and it seems for a second that he's about to write more before he shrugs and passes it over instead.]

[finalguard]

[ Boa grimaces as he reads the 'killed on sight' bit. It makes sense that Mitsuru would be seen as this much of a danger, but it's still offputting to hear how easily people want to shoot a bullet through him.

Then Boa gets to the second part and raises his eyebrows. ]

Who are the people they ranked highest for that thing?

[killtheanimals]

[This time his hand definitely hesitates.

"Ichigo Kurosaki, Mami Tomoe, and Talcott Hester were listed as 'good candidates.'

A pause. And then, he finishes the message, reluctant.

"I was listed as an excellent candidate."]

[finalguard]

[ Boa looks at the list in surprise, but his surprise is not about the final point at all. If anything, it seems natural. Mitsuru is the strongest here, Boa's known that all along. There's no reason for the RV people to not assess it similarly. ]

Mami and Talcott are both dead... if the final protocol requires survival, their bets are fairly off.

Ichigo and you are both powerful, that at least makes sense to me.

[killtheanimals]

["It's another potential headache for me. If my survival means they are able to use me for something or another, I'll need to find a countermeasure."

His power is already extremely limited. He's confident, yes, but this is far from what he wants to spend his time working on. Untangling their intentions for him, and then figuring out a way to counteract that in time...

Ugh.]

[finalguard]

[ Boa hesitates with his reply, but this time only very briefly. ]

Tell me if you need a hand in that. Ensuring the safety of survivors is relevant to me too, even if I'm not on the candidacy list.

[ He wants to get out of here and whatever final protocol is sounds questionable... also he just doesn't want Mitsuru to have to deal with it. ]

[killtheanimals]

["Our only option is likely to continue gathering as much information as we can for now."

Frustrating, but not an unfamiliar quest.]

[finalguard]

[ Boa sighs. ]

Of course. I'll let you know if I hear or find anything.

[ Which is not exactly a surprise anymore because he's literally always done this, but... ]

[killtheanimals]

[The words he writes in reply are simple and to the point, yet still accompanied by a tired smile as he hands it over.

"Thank you, Boa"]

[finalguard]

[ Ah...

It's weird. Boa's gone into this conversation with such a sense of dread and he's learned a lot of upsetting information, but now he's genuinely feeling a bit better. This alliance that had seemed so fragile before is a bit more solid now. Incomprehensible as it is, Boa doesn't want to question it too much right now.

He smiles back a little. ]

We'll get ahead of them sooner or later.

I'm going to see if I can get a glimpse of these profiles. We'll check back in later.

[ He hands the notebook back with that and gives Mitsuru another nod, then disappears in the direction of the crowd surrounding the laptop. ]
