WEEK 1

[petoskeymods]

WEEK 1

After the hectic happenings of the weekend since you awoke here, the first official week of Camp is much...well, Calmer. Days are full of genuinely fun summer things - such as doing arts and crafts in the Rec Room (the theme this week is 'Macaroni', so expect plenty of cardboard picture frames and other assorted kitschy stuff scattered on the tables), playing the fully working Wii ( Which even has a Mii for all the campers! Aww, how sweet), going swimming, fishing, playing some games with the many balls set out in the clearing with your fellow campers, eating a good meal with your friends down at the meal hall, and of course roasting marshmallows over an open flame and singing to the stars at night.

The weather is absolutely beautiful, the heat and humidity giving way to cooler-yet-still-comfortable temperatures, and everything is absolutely picturesque.

But...of course, you're probably thinking more on all of the revelations over the past weekend. Being forced to stay in this camp by methods both based in reality and myth, the eeriness of the people who claim to be your counselors during your stay here, the mosquito thing, how Pastor Dan never stops smiling -

Speaking of Pastor Dan, while he's never gotten as overt as he did during the weekend, his sermons are...odd, to say the least. You won't be able to go swimming without listening to them, and as the week goes on, he goes from talking about harmony and unison and being in the Lord's embrace to really hammering home how sometimes, sacrifices must be made for the good of them all, and how you can't hesitate when it comes to make a decision...

A thin, fragile layer of peace hangs over the camp...for now.

But how long will it be until it shatters?

28 CAMPERS REMAIN.

Monday - Tuesday

[yunolikebugs]

[Gonta isn't too badly off at first. The first symptoms of whatever he got is a simple fever that steadily got worse. He spent most of Monday in the rec room just to get out of the heat and try to cool down. It was pretty cozy in there, even though there was only one video game and the only movie available is so confusing he keeps falling asleep in the middle of it... Come to think of it, he did start feeling dizzy after a while. But nothing too serious...

Until Tuesday rolled around. That morning, Gonta woke up with a fever so bad he seemingly forgot how to human.

All of a sudden, he's running around on all fours like a gorilla, trying to fish with his teeth from the edge of the lake like a bear, only communicating in wolflike growls... It's pretty obvious he's come down with some sort of despair disease Monokuma would have been proud of. He even looks delirious if someone took one look at his eyes, the poor thing.

There are only 2 things keeping him from mauling everyone in camp: He hasn't lost any actual memories, and yet another symptom of this disease is high fatigue. If you catch him curled up in the grassy area or near his cabin, that's why.]

((Yes, I based this off the Despair Disease from Super Danganronpa 2. Beware of spoilers if you click the link.))

[warmyyarny]

Yo, Gokuhara. Fishing rods exist for a reason.

[Why do you have your face submerged in that lake, are you really trying to fish with your teeth? Goodness, Gonta]

[yunolikebugs]

[Yes, and he's also on his hands and knees, trying to fish.

The second Kanji breaks his concentration (or whatever concentration he has left) Gonta growls threateningly at him before sulking further away to try and fish.

Weird...]

[warmyyarny]

Hey, don't just run away! [Gonta, wait! Kanji follows] And what's up with the growling?

[yunolikebugs]

[He stops, turns, and growls louder.

... Wait, why does he look like he's having a fever?]

[warmyyarny]

What's wrong with--wait a second...

[Maybe it was just because he was submerging his face into the lake, but Gonta really is looking bad. Is this the disease thing? Kanji gulps, feeling a reminder of the aches he's been feeling for a while already]

Gokuhara, are you alright? You look sick. That's what's wrong, right?

[itsagazebo]

[Eddie's crossing the grounds, heading towards the mess hall to try to find some hot soup when he sees something odd out of the corner of his eye.

He turns, frowning. He recognizes that mop of hair. Taking a few steps forward he calls out]

Gonta?!

[yunolikebugs]

[Gonta was nearly passed out in the middle of the grounds. Poor thing's curled up like a giant puppy that isn't able to stand up. When Eddie calls out to him, he wearily lifts his head to look at him.

Eddie should be able to tell he's running a fever.]

...Mmmmnnrrrr....?

[Good news, Gonta wasn't lying about being able to speak wolf. Eddie's animal translation power works on him.

Bad news, what he just said roughly translates to "confused noise". This person friend?]

[itsagazebo]

[Oh this isn't good. He takes another step towards Gonta]

You okay? You, uh, you don't look so good.

[yunolikebugs]

[He stares at Eddie with a woozy look in his eyes...

And lays his head back down with a whimper. "Gonta doesn't feel good" is what he probably meant.]

[itsagazebo]

Fuck... [He rushes over, pressing a hand against the other boy's forehead] Shit! Fuck, shit you're burning up!

[yunolikebugs]

[Yes, he can feel that.

He gently nudges Eddies hand with his head. Please comfort him, friend.]

[itsagazebo]

[Eddie isn't sure what to do... Gonta's a kid, not a dog... but he's kind of acting like a dog. He hesitantly gives Gonta's hair a stroke. He remembers his ma doing that for him one of the times he was sick in bed and couldn't sleep.]

Hey, uh. maybe sleeping on the ground isn't the best thing for you. Which cabin are you in?

[yunolikebugs]

[Now he's kind of growl-purring. He likes the head pats.

When Eddie asks, Gonta looks up at him for a moment before nodding his head in the direction of Cabin 2.]

[itsagazebo]

[Okay, then. He continues the head pets with a bit of a smile]

You think you can stand?

[yunolikebugs]

[He wearily nods before slowly getting up on his... Hands and feet.

This is the best you're getting, Eddie.]

[itsagazebo]

[Yeah okay. He keeps a hand on Gonta's head, staying close by his side]

C'mon. Let's get you in bed.

[He gestures toward the cabin and takes a step in that direction]

[yunolikebugs]

[He slowly lumbers on by Eddie's side, his head wearily hanging down. Occasionally, there's a stumble, but he gets back up and continues.]

[itsagazebo]

[Eddie helps him whenever he can. He may be much smaller than Gonta, but he'll do his best to keep him upright. Slowly but surely they make it to the cabin. Eddie opens the cabin door, holding it open]

Can you make it inside?

[yunolikebugs]

[He tries his best not to crush the small child.

At the door, Gonta makes a sound that kind of sounds like a mumbled "yes" noise before trudging along inside...

And falling asleep on one of the bean bags.]
