Week 6

[petoskeymods]

WEEK 6

Last week had been pretty brutal, leaving scars on everyone in camp. A murder driven by paranoia-induced visions, committed by and against two of the youngest members of camp, has left everyone reeling. If this is the way murders will go, what's to happen next?

The humidity is dropping off some, but the heat is staying strong. The campers will need to find new ways to beat the heat. A delivery is due this week though, so maybe the camp's deliveryman will have some ice cream?

The WiiU and current games are all here, but there are no new games. Sorry everyone, you're stuck with what you have. Usagi and Boa are now gone from the Mii menu, but that strange faceless Mii is still there, staring as always. His grin seems to have grown though, and the Mii menu music has changed as well. The other Miis seem scared of the grinny Mii, and they are staying far away from him. Now the only selectable Mii is grin-face. How weird.

The counselors have said they need 'more time' to end this, but just how much time do they need? Can the campers really stall long enough for the counselors to finish their plan? And how does that knowledge sit with them, knowing that each delayed week means less campers will make it in the end?

14 CAMPERS REMAIN.

[ Nine just gestures to Lenka ]

That's why I'm trying to block you out, yo.

[ It's the easier solution at the moment. ]

Man, why...

[ He has no more room for any other guys to doki over. Three is enough! ]

Maybe I can just tell them to stop looking at you? [ Thinking... ] I don't know if I want to know who wants to sleep with you. I mean, I'd keep imagining it or something. [ Yeah... you might need to shush Nine up or something ]

1/4

[killtheanimals]

[Does it?

He thinks about the time he's spent here, getting to know Boa. Boa... for the most part has a pretty limited number of friends. Richie and Eddie, who are together, Nine, who's older and obsessed with Talcott, and...

...Himself.]

2/4

[killtheanimals]

[..............Wait.]

3/4

[killtheanimals]

[But this is also just... the coral.

Maybe?

They display certain personality traits of their originals. So it's... hard, to say what's real and what's just a mockery of the truth, of the person who was dragged from his arms into a painful, painful death.]

4/4

[killtheanimals]

[...So, when he answers, his tone is solemn.]

...Was that true of you from "before," too?

[Probably, the real Boa won't be able to answer him. But if they're discussing this, if he's really carrying on this conversation with what's practically just a puppet--

he wants to know.]

[finalguard]

[... That's a long silence and long silence might mean understanding. That's... terrifying actually. Boa's gaze goes back down, avoiding eye contact for a second.]

A few weeks now I think. If that's what you mean.

[trashmouthtozier]

[he suddenly realizes, like a bolt from the blue, is that what Boa is basically saying is: Richie, don't get in trouble. Because then they put you in the shack.

what Boa is basically saying is: Richie, don't die.]

Right. ... Sorry. I ... I shouldn't joke about that. You're right.

I'll do my best.

[trashmouthtozier]

It means no more doing stupid shit.

[he thwaps Nine on the arm]

No more saying you'll die for people, like you almost did for Boa. No more running into shit without thinking, like you did at the RV park. No going off alone.

Because I'm not losing family, Nine. Don't be an asshole. Don't you dare.

[killtheanimals]

[It's not an answer from the real one, but it's answer enough. He releases a sigh, looking away as well.]

...I wish I'd known sooner.

[That's... basically all he can say. Because if he'd known, then maybe, before Boa died...

He's not even sure. Romance hasn't been on his mind most his life, not with the cloud of deaths hanging over his head and certainly not when most of the people who chattered mindlessly about it were about as shallow as could be. But maybe, at the very least...

Maybe he could have done something more before he was gone.]

[finalguard]

[ So now it's definitely an open secret and there is no point staying vague. Boa, zombie or not, is not a coward. So he lifts his gaze properly and locks eyes with Mitsuru.]

I wish I'd understood sooner. Maybe this would have gotten a better moment then.

I like you, Mitsuru. You're the most amazing person I ever met. That's all.

[killtheanimals]

[That brings out a dry laugh. Yeah, a better moment indeed.]

I think you're probably overestimating me. [He's very powerful, yes, but he still couldn't get Boa out of here alive with him, something that's stinging especially hard right now.]

Maybe... we can talk again about it Monday.

[Sorry Zomboa. But he's really not about to get into this with you when you aren't really you.]

[trashmouthtozier]

Yeah, I think almost all of Maine is the country. Except maybe Portland. And Freeport, but that's mostly because of L.L. Bean.

[trashmouthtozier]

[of course he knows Mario, he's #5 on it at the arcade. only because he's #2 on Street Fighter and that gets more of his quarters]

I didn't know that. It ... makes sense, though.

[he thinks of the house on Neiboldt Street, of the hole in the hallway floor, all those cobwebs on the staircase that barely held under their weight. Betty Ripsom's voice, forlorn yet mocking: "Where's my shoe?"]

So the door to this Vision place showed up at the end of the unfinished stairs?

[trashmouthtozier]

Was this the guy Drew said is gonna steal my asshole crown?

[he grins, but it's not a teasing grin, it's a happy one]

Chuu, you don't like this guy, you love him, huh.

[killtheanimals]

America was really... big. From what I remember.

[And mostly from looking out the plane window.]

[killtheanimals]

[Richie would have gotten along so well with Wataru.]

Right. I found it when I was checking the building out.

After that... I managed to slip by the guardians and prove myself worthy of becoming a Traveler. That meant I was granted the chance to complete a Journey to meet with the goddess of fate to ask for any one wish.

[linearcrash]

[ Whoa! He's astonished for a moment. ]

Huh? Have you been hanging around Ichigo?

[ Hey, remember that bruise on his face and him saying it was because he was dumb? Yeah. He's split though between being happy and feeling guilty. ]

Don't worry. I'm not going to say I'll die for others. [ Running into shit without thinking and going off alone? MIGHT BE HARDER ]

I'm working on the rest of that.

[linearcrash]

You'll feel better after you get past it. [ Or you can do what Nine does and just keep going until you run into it again? ]

[seekingsunrise]

You sound like my brother. [He laughs it off a little but only because they're too young for military yet. Probably soon for both of them though, right?

He leans back against Nine, fingers curling around his arms, snuggling back against him. The most of what they have.]

I wish you could stay here... hold me tonight...

[linearcrash]

[ For a while there, even with the cold body temp and the scars, he almost forgot that this isn't fully Talcott. Nuzzling against his head. ]

Not going to kick me out?

maybe if he whines enough Tal will budge

[seekingsunrise]

You know we can't.

[It's against the rules baby. But oh he wants to stay like this.]

[linearcrash]

[ He's not letting go. Not yet. ]

How about I go back to my bunk after you fall asleep?

[seekingsunrise]

You wouldn't.

[Sulk pout. He knows you Nine.]

I'm not sleepy yet though... just... stay here for a little while longer, yeah?

[linearcrash]

Yeah, you got me.

[ Laughing quietly. ]

We can stay here for as long as you want, yo.

[lovecolored]

[ Marisa spits out a mouthful of lake water and coughs a little. Is Floe...laughing? Huh. Guess she's not mad about Marisa almost killing them both. Score. ]

...I think I took too sharp a turn upwards, ze.

[ YOU THINK ]
