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.

Heh, don't worry about it. Buuuut...

[he siddles in, looking like a smug shit]

I think you'd have a chance with her, honestly.

[bladeisme]

[UHHHH?

Ichigo literally looks at him like Ren has suddenly grown a second head.]

....No, I really wouldn't. She's way too good for someone like me - same with you, even if you weren't already involved with someone. It was like that for Inoue, too.

[He shrugs.]

It's fine. I don't let it get in the way of focusing on what's happening. It's my own problem that I have to deal with by myself.

[le_mat]

Well, for one: me and Mitsuru-senpai are very different categories. Like, she's a beautiful bird of prey to my garbage eating pigeon self. Not that I mind that one bit. But two: where did you get that idea? I told you, I'm just some hick. You think too low of yourself.

[killtheanimals]

[Wait what.]

You're from the country?

[Wow, he didn't even notice a dialect.]

[le_mat]

[Fuck he forgot others were listening]

Ah, yeah. My family is. But I've been living in Tokyo for the last year.

[killtheanimals]

[Huh.]

I couldn't even tell.

[That's interesting.]

[le_mat]

I have a lot of practice hiding my dialect... it made me sound thuggish and uneducated in court so...

Same reason I used to wear glasses. So I look safer and more... respectable.

[velocirainbow]

Why de heck would how you sound be a problem? You're you, who cares! Dey're jerks if dey can't accept dat. Your voice don't make who you is.

[ Says the guy with literally the thickest goddamn accent in this camp. ]

[le_mat]

[Ren grins at that]

You're right, it shouldn't. I'm glad it's not really a big deal here with you all.

[killtheanimals]

Ploys like that do tend to work, so long as you can pull it off.

[He did the exact same thing in spirit like week one here, trying to talk to the RV folk.]

[le_mat]

It probably would have if my record hadn't been leaked online right after I arrived in my new school. But what can you do?

[killtheanimals]

Leaked...?

[And online no less? Huh.]

[le_mat]

[He nods]

One of the teachers... was a self-centered and abusive bastard- always looking for new targets. The teachers were required to know my history, but not the students. Part of my probation, so I wouldn't get bullied right out of the only school that would take me. He didn't like 'someone like me' tainting the school he thought he ran. So he forced another student to spread around what happened on social media. Only, you know, edited to sound as bad as possible. All my classmates were terrified of me. Though I did drugs and had a knife on me at all times. Things like that.

...funny, thinking on it they never really stopped either. Even after it came out that Kamoshida was pulling this shit and worse.

[killtheanimals]

Gossips like that never stop once they've got an idea in their head.

[His tone grows annoyed.]

Nearly everyone at my school became convinced there was a ghost in a nearby building just because no one wanted to listen to sense.

[le_mat]

[Ren nods, though his expression is angry- but it's clearly not aimed at Mitsuru]

That's what happens in a big group like a school. The scum rises.

...but don't tell me someone went to check it out?

[killtheanimals]

Sounds about right.

[Ugh, though. School.]

Yeah. Some kids one year ahead thought they'd claim the building for themselves so they could get some contract deal with a ghost-hunting show. Since I'm the one who took the picture with the "ghost," they were... obnoxious.

[bladeisme]

And I'm just some punk from one of Western Tokyo's prefectures. You're a lot more than just a hick, Ren.

And as for me - I'm not thinking low of myself, I'm just being realistic.

[le_mat]

Well, I think you're pretty damn great. So if you have this high ass opinion of me, I must be right, hm?

[bladeisme]

[He opens his mouth, as if to say something - and then shuts it, looking miffed.]

...That's cheating, you jerk.

[REACHING OUT TO GENTLY PUNCH HIS SHOULDER.]

...I just - don't see myself as anything special, alright? I've been yelled at so many times for doing literally nothing - hell, no one believes me when I say my hair's natural - and for beating up gangs because I saw them mugging someone or that they were bothering me for no goddamn reason other than 'I was on their turf.'

After a while, it just...gets easier to go along with it.

[le_mat]

But you're here right now, not there. And you're an important part of this group.

[He grins at the slight punch]

[linearcrash]

[ ???? ]

[bladeisme]

[Ichigo just does not love himself, Nine.]

[linearcrash]

[ Does he need to get on the table again? ]
