WEEK 5

WEEK 5

After the excitement and near-death episode on Sunday, it's almost a relief that Monday comes with only two new zombie friends. Maybe try to make it through this week without getting hurt, hmm? The healers can only do so much.

It's starting to get warm again, and while the temperature itself isn't too unbearable, it's the humidity that's killer. The stormy weather from last week has left plenty of water in the air, and with no air conditioning outside of certain locations (read: Red and Stan's rooms) it's going to be miserable. Swimming might be the best way to cool off.

The WiiU remains, and in addition to the current games there is now a copy of 'Super Smash Bros. Brawl' for you to play! It's even got all the hidden characters unlocked. Have fun! Additionally, Kanji and Lance are now gone from the Mii menu, and a new Mii has appeared. If selected for use, it will just stand there and stare at the screen, like it's staring into the soul of whoever is playing.

In addition to all of this, there is a sense of anxiety around the camp. A 'calm before the storm', so to speak. Something's going to happen this week, and that feeling of dread just can't be shaken.

16 CAMPERS REMAIN.

[ That does help. Boa goes silent for a bit, trying to steady his breathing into deep long inhales and exhales. He's tense still, very tense, but reality is calling and it's calling in Lenka's voice. ]

... you're right. We just have to be among them. That's all.

[ And normally he doesn't call his ability to reach that into question. Since week one he's been radiating confidence to get through anything, but.. this morning...

He stares at his feet. ]

... I'm still afraid. I don't know what to do.

[Sometimes you're confident even in murder camp -- for many of them, it's because they hadn't been able to face up to the reality yet. For others, it's because they've been through what they imagined was worse, until they found out exactly how much worse this was. And still others -- you fake it till you make it.

Lenka's still not sure which of the categories (if not all) he himself falls into, but he remembers Boa the first week, training through everything (and perhaps every week after, the same, just like many of the rest of them). Keep moving, so you don't have time to examine the cracks too hard.]

Then be afraid. Fear lets you know how to survive. You just have to know what to be afraid of, and what to use against the fear. Even if you don't know what to do, that's enough for now.

[ 'Fear lets you know how to survive.'

Those words shoot straight through Boa directly into his heart. If there was anything he needed to hear, it was this. Fear and weakness, he'd let them be equals in his mind. If he's afraid of loss, then that means he has accepted the possibility of losing. Then it means he will lose. Boa had done everything he could to suppress that kind of feeling.

Lenka's given him a bridge to connect back to this part of himself that he has cut off. It's a small and unstable bridge, but Boa is desperate to cross it and be able to look at himself again.

He raises his head and nods, shaky but notably more determined. ]

Alright. Surviving... that's what I'm good at.
