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.

[ ... normally Zoa would be a very happy puppy about the fact that Mitsuru is expressing care? But right now is... difficult, even for a zombie's limited brain capacities. He does look up though. Expression.... awkward. ]

That was just... a lot of information.

[killtheanimals]

So she actually said something useful?

[Amazing.]

[love_seriously]

[ BITE ME ]

[finalguard]

[ How does he even answer this.... Boa looks off to the side, because meeting Mitsuru's eyes is a little difficult right now. ]

If she's right about this, then it... was very informative reference, yes.

[killtheanimals]

[Huh.]

So do you, then?

[finalguard]

.... like someone?

[ He'll just stare down at his feet. ]

It seems so.

[killtheanimals]

[......Huh.]

Really?

[finalguard]

Does that surprise you?

[ Huh indeed.]

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.

[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.]

[finalguard]

I don't think I am.

[ There's a small smile accompanying these words. ]

We don't need to talk about it again at all if there's nothing you want to say to it. This wasn't exactly a planned confession with a goal in mind.

[ He pauses, then adds: ] Not that it's bad if you know.

[killtheanimals]

[It's so...

Stupid, really, the extent to which this Boa just doesn't get it.]

There are things that still need to be said. Just not right now.

[finalguard]

[ Boa glances around at the complete mess of a meeting. ]

... I'd have wanted it to not be now at all, yeah.

[ He's a zombie! He thinks camp hang-outs are great! But this is... not dignified. ]

[killtheanimals]

[...you know what, sure, that's an acceptable interpretation.]

And yet we're still doing better than the others, I'd say.

[finalguard]

[ A dry laugh. ]

The bar isn't high.

[ Staring over at whatever is going on with Chuuta and the girls, to be honest. ]

[killtheanimals]

Never mind Amamiya, Nine, and Talcott.

[If this is really happening he's already resolving to be classier than that.]

[finalguard]

They've become experts in barely scraping the camp rules by now...

[ HE SEES ALL THIS CUDDLING. And his zombie eyes judge. ]

... maybe without those strange examples, I'd actually have figured this out sooner.

[killtheanimals]

They don't seem like a great measuring point, no.

[Now we're just back to bitty judgment corner.]

[finalguard]

... whatever you say on Monday, we'll forget about them as a reference. Completely.

[ Boa adores Nine, but he is not going to emulate this. Nope, nope, nope. ]
