3.0 - week three
WEEK THREE
Last night might have been exhausting for any number of reasons - maybe it was the emotional
toll of dealing with those ghosts, or maybe you stayed up too late after watching Jim Shrok. Who knows, but Saturday is over, even if some of you haven’t quite left it behind and half spirits that are still hanging on, tethered to you and weighing you down…
But that’s not going to stop a new week from starting. There’s no breaks in an eight week course.
There’s very little fanfare to the start of your third week of the course, though it does seem like the fog has lifted even more. It’s a bit more of a trek down the abandoned streets of Estelline, but surely a mile is walkable? Or you could grab a bike or try to hotwire one of those cars in the mall parking lot… Whatever you plan to do this week is up to you. All you know is you've got some new locations to explore.
As always, Florence and Lorelei are available.
SUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY
TASK LIST
( OOC Note: Luci, Mutsu, and Mae will each receive a small roomba! Congrats on the successful egg drop. It's a tiny little friend that cleans extra well, though this also means its trash compartment is a little smaller so it'll need to be cleaned more often. )

7 PM speaker mystery hours
It's probably a good thing that at this earlier juncture, there are no lollipops to tempt him. He's scratching his head as he galumphs into the room; he's at least gotten his hands on something like sustenance, which looks like one of those mysterious bars of indeterminable origin (it's not a candy bar, nor an ice cream, but the concept of protein bars might be a bit advanced).
So Gentarou's first hint that he's not alone is probably a monching noise of some sort. His second hint might be crumbs, so think quickly.]
Hmm? Weren't you some sort of ad writer for watermelons? [he has indeed been looking at the profiles but sometimes you look at things for so long they stop making sense anymore] Was art one of your secret skills??
no subject
... Not exactly, but he isn't about to not play along. So.... RIP, I guess. ]
Ah, yes. I am the single most successful ad writer for Japan's largest distributor of watermelons. I also design and draw some of those ads. You see, sometimes I simply have a vision, and I refuse to allow anyone else to have a hand in it.
no subject
[For a moment it's hard to tell if Tamamori is making that deeply dubious and contemplative face at Gentarou's statement or if he's finally realized that what he's eating isn't something recognizable. He sniffs suspiciously at the protein bar but seemingly gives up and just horfs it down. It seems foodlike enough.
Surely, if he gets food poisoning, it can't be too much worse than having to yeet an entire ghoul out of himself (or have it yeeted). The bar is low and getting lower (no pun intended?).]
What an unusual taste... [after a moment he shakes his head and returns his attention to the art(??), drawing his eyebrows together like he's pretty sure something's not right, but hell if he knows what it is] But I say, you've got a strange sense of what the public wants from their summertime fruit -- what has all this got to do with watermelons, anyway?
no subject
He thinks Dice would feel a kinship with him. ]
Do you think so? I quite pride myself on my knowledge, actually. I didn't pass Advanced Watermelons with flying colors for nothing, you know.
As for these... they are rough sketches. In the finished product, they will be drawn as if they are made of the fruit itself.
no subject
Advanced Watermelons... Suddenly I feel like we're talking about something entirely different, but maybe that's just my imagination??
[Maybe it's the Suspicious Melon Man's influence. Tamamori mutters this and that and then taps his finger on the page.]
No, I think it's much too far from the fruit! All you'll succeed in doing is making people question the nature of melons rather than their best attributes, and indeed wonder if you're leading them down the path of obscenity.
