[pours two glasses of juice, ushers you over to the table, where there's a big bowl of fruit]

Sit, sit.

[blueondeck]

[Going over to the table and sitting down, taking another bite]

[yellowlion]

[slides a glass over the table to you, sits down opposite]

[decor is largely neutrals but with accents in red, blue, yellow, of course]

[blueondeck]

[Notices the colors, but doesn't think too much on it.]

You aren't drowning in school work.

[yellowlion]

[snorts]

Got into trouble.

[blueondeck]

Oh? Someone went and talked some sense into you?

[yellowlion]

C'mon, I wouldn't go that far. But certain people have confiscated my phone and my laptop for the day.

[blueondeck]

You've been put on mandatory vacation. Can't say I disagree.

[yellowlion]

...traitor.

Surrounded by traitors.

[blueondeck]

You can't say you didn't deserve it.

[yellowlion]

[quick, guilty grin]

I'm not going to dispute that, no. Just... there's always so much to do. Work, and other stuff.

I won't let it happen again. I can't.

[blueondeck]

You're doing a good job so far.

[finishing the onigiri and taking a sip of the juice]

[yellowlion]

[snorts]

Living up to your expectations?


[chew chew chew]

[blueondeck]

Preventing your past from repeating itself.

[yellowlion]

[you are disturbingly insightful, sometimes]

Trying, yes.

The urge to fix things never quite goes away, as I'm sure you know. Especially when you feel at fault.

[blueondeck]

[I tend to be insightful when I care the person]

I know. That doesn't mean you should over work yourself to fix what you can't yet see.

[yellowlion]

[looking away]

[blueondeck]

[Watching you quietly for a moment]

Caring for others also means taking care of yourself.

[yellowlion]

[you're right, I know you're right]

[but I constantly struggle with this]

...yeah. It just never seems to be enough. Always more to do.

[blueondeck]

They'll appreciate it.

[yellowlion]

[snorts]

Hope so. As long as no murders happen on my watch, I'll be reasonably satisfied.

[blueondeck]

I don't think any will.

[yellowlion]

[amused]

You have too much faith.

What else has been happening at this awful camp?

[blueondeck]

[Oh that place.]

Involuntary nakedness, genderswapping, forced truth, a goo that makes you fall in love with people you don't actually care for, a plant that forces you to kiss whoever it wants you to, a month devoted to making us go insane and turn on each other, walking into a shower or bath and it's suddenly another persons bath or shower in a place you just weren't, taking away memories, giving memories you didn't have before...

This is just the beginning.

[yellowlion]

[this face]

...whoa. How exactly do you manage to stay sane?
