Week 8

[petoskeymods]

WEEK 8

The weekend passes in a blue, and suddenly it is Monday again. Monday of week 8, the final week of camp. The last week to try and change your fate.

It's sunny and pleasant, with daytime temperatures lingering around 70 degrees Fahrenheit and dropping off into the 50s in the evening. It's pretty much the perfect weather for Michigan, and it's only a shame that it took this long to get to it.

The WiiU continues to be broken, though the creepy Mii is gone now. All of the Miis are, actually. All that can be seen is a variety of Pure Michigan ads, interestingly enough. A bit calmer than last week's visuals, but probably annoying since no games can be played.

There is one other notable change about camp: the counselors are nowhere to be found. There is plenty of food and some note left on how to run things, but otherwise the campers have been left to their own devices apparently.

On the main door to the lodge is a note that says "We will be back as soon as possible." written in Red's handwriting. What could this mean?

7 CAMPERS REMAIN.

[...And there goes Floe. Well, given this is one of the few times everyone's been together in a space where the zombies could join, that also makes it the opportune time for messages, so...

Getting up to follow??]

[soylentprotag]

[Hmm, well, he doesn't have the ball right now and the coralfam sure seems to be active this meeting -- Floe being quiet is actually more unusual than anything else, so Lenka notices the silence past all of the awful sound of stone that's been getting more and more noticeable lately. He frowns briefly and gets up to accompany both of them.]

[love_seriously]

[ If she notices either of them following, she doesn't acknowledge it, moving with single-minded determination as quickly as coral legs will allow in the direction of Cabin 4.

(Hopefully nobody set up a bunch of weird traps on the door or anything!! REN.) ]

[killtheanimals]

[Ah.]

There's a wire when you walk in.

[He's assuming this is the real deal, best to warn her.]

[soylentprotag]

[There's definitely weird traps on the door, but it's fine -- Lenka will only hesitate for a moment before moving ahead of her. If she's still making a beeline, he'll get the door and help her get through. All in silence, since he figures Floe is going to want to save her energy and her words for now.]

[love_seriously]

[ She pauses for just a second at Mitsuru's warning, but Lenka's got the right idea- she can't spare words or even expressions for them right now, focusing only on moving herself carefully into the cabin. The silence probably makes this all seem weirdly intense, considering what a loudmouth she is normally. In any case, she'll be heading straight for what remains of Stan's pile o' junk. She hurriedly rifles through it, searching for something...which turns out to be a book.

A book that she then turns and shoves towards Mitsuru...except her stiff coral joints makes the motion jerkier than intended, and she probably smacks him right in the face with it. Whoops! Totally unintentional, blame the zombie for that one! (Yep, toootally the zombie's fault.) (Please only blame the zombie.)

Anyway now that it's literally all up in his face, they can see that the book is the encouragingly-titled Morse Code For Dummies™ (and other secret codes!). I hope you weren't expecting something serious. But it's a clear signal that they're on the right track, at least? Having completed her task, Floe looks at Lenka now- and it's clearly an effort to do so, her expression tight and strained. But even as she wavers, forcing the words out, there's a tiny hint of amusement in them. ]

When we come back...I want my real number, okay? W...we will...come back. You...promised...

[killtheanimals]

[Following, following, head tilted in curiosity--

And then he gets a book in the face.

Ow.]

[soylentprotag]

[Oh god, it's a double whammy -- first poor Mitsuru gets immediately nailed with the book, and then Floe finally talks to them (or to him, all things considered) and it's that. Lenka's only human, and after a moment of staring wide-eyed between her and Mitsuru and the book he just... puts his head in his hand and dissolves into soft, incredulous laughing.

Good job, Floe. It's a good job of some kind. It takes him a little bit to stop and then he has to wipe away tears from losing it too hard. Sorry, Mitsuru, he's (mostly) not laughing at you.]

Floe-- [it's unlikely that she'll be able to stay with them for longer (except maybe to watch Mitsuru flail), but he can't help it] --Yeah. I promised. I'll, uh, try. This time.

[Well, she'd have to really explain what the hell that rating system is, first. He only has a very vague idea, but right now he's too distracted to feel apprehensive about it.]
