Episode 54: Jedidiah? Mediation session? Yep haha. Oh no, Rowan and Juniper. What are these two fighting about? Woah, Rowan just said fuck you to Juniper. JUNIPER WHAT THE HELL LMAO! Oh my, Rowan stopped taking his medicine a few days ago, and its been a bad time (heh Sans . . . I'm sorry). Oh my gosh Rowan has been waking up the shovel club members at 6am and making them dig trenches until their hands blister, damn that's bad. Oh this is caused by Rowan's heart to heart with Sydney oh no . . . Rowan couldn't stand it because they don't dull the visions. It doesn't work. It just makes him slow. Woah, Rowan is really upset rn.

Damn, Rowan is VERY upset, it was his decision over his body and brain . . . but I don't think I've seen Rowan THIS angry and upset, I've seen him panic and be irritated, but not this angry. He is angry because they don't know what he is going through, they don't understand what its like. Juniper is bringing up the point that this is messing with the kids, but Rowan brings up that they are all going to die, which damn. Juniper thinks there is time, Rowan doesn't think there is anymore time. Juniper just wants Rowan to rest. WOAH, Rowan just yelled that its not about the children, its about Juniper and how he can't handle Rowan if he isn't sedated, which holy- woah o_o.

Rowan says that the only reason Juniper asked to date was because Rowan was manageable . . . in which Juniper says that that is half true. Then the other half, Juniper thinks Rowan is fun, and a sweet time, when he isn't like this . . . Rowan doesn't think Juniper means it when he says he loves him. Rowan only listened to Sydney because he understood Rowan, while Juniper never listens he just talks. Juniper says that he does care what happens to Rowan, but Rowan believes that he doesn't care and that he doesn't want to be inconvenienced, damn. They really want to help Rowan, but Rowan just feels like he has things he needs to do- WOAH Rowan just yelled for them to close the blinds . . . Woah woah Rowan. Rowan didn't feel well after that. He went to the restroom . . .

Jedidiah asked how Juniper does it, and how its a lot. Juniper says it is a lot sometimes, but that its Rowan's problem, that he is an adult, and that he is lovely. Jedidiah asked if Juniper is tired, but Juniper responds that Rowan is the tired one. The only reason Juniper is getting into the problem is because he wants to help Rowan, the only reason Juniper came to the session was because he thought it was worth a shot. Jedidiah really wants to know how they do it in their relationship. Juniper kind of didn't answer the question heh, he sort of changed the subject and is now talking about a gender conversation he had with Rowan. Jedidiah is not really listening to his story though . . . When Juniper asked if that was how it was with Sydney, Jedidiah said that he just wanted Sydney to be himself, he can't be anyone else-

Rowan is back. He said he was sorry and that he calmed down (poor Rowan bro). Juniper asks if he plans to take his meds, in which Rowan says no. Rowan is talking about flashbacks, Rowan hated being inside- (OH YO SONIC ADVENTURE 2 MENTION!!!! Rowan is awesome) He would pretend he could fly, thought he ruled the world. He needed to be out all the time. . . he liked the bright sky. Now all he can think about is the cold, wet, ground. He needs it to protect everyone. Rowan is freaking out o_o.

Episode 53: Sydney morning announcement? Quiet. Sydney shushed us. Ah Quiet day, I forgot lmao. Only Sydney can speak to give the barest of minimum of news. Distinguished guest? The great horned owl. She has been here forever. She sits unmoving and every watching in that same spot. Sydney has never seen her move a muscle . . . until today. Today her neck moved in a slow deliberate rotation. It didn't stop turning. Sydney worries for her (I worry that this is an ill omen for the camp . . .). The only time that this motion stopped was when Lucille came out, sus.

Once Lucille touched the path, the owl stared straight at her back. Once Lucille went into the bathroom, the owl resumed its rotation (Its watching her . . .). They are doing contemplative crafts today as their activity then silent sports hour after that. The owl stopped again . . .

Sydney lunch announcement. The owl. She moved, her wings unfurled, then took flight, its been tormenting someone. Jedidiah. It let out Lucille's voice, broadcast from her beak, telling Jedidiah about his posture. Jedidiah then locked himself in. When Lucille went out again, she didn't acknowledge anyone's presence. She hasn't spoken to anyone today. Very eerie. The campers have been spreading rumors about the owl and Lucille.

Sydney update. Jedidiah was outside with the owl, then when Lucille came out, the owl's eyes went to her. The owl's neck twisted up like a rung towel . . . then swelled . . . oh god . . . it screamed, but it was still Lucille's voice . . . Its not an owl anymore . . . half-Lucille . . . They are keeping the campers away from it, some have seen it though and have called it "The Wet Angel" . . . Jedidiah didn't move, the bird-woman held him in a gaze, it held Sydney too. It smiled, then told Jedidiah to come over to it. He went up to it. It wanted Jedidiah to clean up as it was perfectly Lucille in a way . . . It followed him . . . It started to tear . . . (I shouldn't have ate right before this . . .).

Bro. What. The. Fuck. Jedidiah ran, the thing chased him. Jedidiah clutched the rusted revolver that Lucille kept in the back office (YES PLEASE GET RID OF THIS THING!). . . . . . Dear god . . . Behind Sydney, Lucille let out a small sigh, she looked whole again. She took the carcass into the woods. Poor Jedidiah. Sydney went to him. The owl was a motivated mimic bird . . . yay . . . ha ha . . . gosh . . .

Ghost recorder session. Jedidiah just walked in. He just came back from talking to Lucille. She asked about his faith. He said that he loved Sydney, Sydney responded that he loved him too. Jedidiah thought that it was rhetorical, he didn't tell Lucille the truth. Lucille just told him "good" from his response. Jedidiah isn't really okay, but he'll do what he needs to do. Jedidiah doesn't want to see Adam anymore, and all he asks of Sydney is that whatever he needs to do, promise he won't let it hurt him. Jedidiah doesn't want to lose Sydney. Sydney promised. These sillies.

Episode 52: (Great more content warnings . . . how wonderful for this day . . .)

(. . .)

(I am scared for Sydney after reading that YouTube description . . .)

Sydney morning announcement. WOAH! Mimic birds. Creepy, loud, and annoying bro. The Whippoorwills. Oh no, the flock is upon them and under surveillance, great . . . just great. They usually are in more reasonable numbers, and they typically mimic cricket cries and gentle gossip, but not now . . . They were supposed to have lake day, but Soren's glass messed up the lake do to the shards being in there. A mimic loves a shiny object, so maybe that is why they are there according to Sydney. MUSIC DAY!!!! YEAH! Camp Over Where also has the same birds there.

Sydney is asking for help to Adam, he is making a decision. Oh god. He doesn't care what it takes. OH GOD SYDNEY NO! Blood. No Sydney . . . NO ADAM HAS A CONTRACT (If Book 3 of TWST taught me anything its NOT TO SIGN SKETCHY CONTRACTS!!!)! He needs Sydney's consent to remember. Sydney whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy . . .

Sydney lunch announcement. The Whippoorwills have started quoting the camp. One said "I can fix it if it stops moving," in a younger and soft Jedidiah voice o_o, oh boy gosh. Him and Sydney weren't older than fourteen when he said that to a field mouse. So they can remember that far back huh. Okay, I have to say this now though birds have small brains, that does NOT mean that they aren't smart. (I can explain more about this if someone wants, I actually wrote a whole essay on bird's intelligence and smarts this semester - really interesting stuff! :P) . . . (I love birds . . . Camp Over Where also organized an orchestral jam session . . . Great Natsume wants to summon a demon.

Camp Here and There's birds aren't as impressed with the camps performance . . . Sydney has been experimenting with the birds, listening to them mimic and sing, they truly are a living library of every noise ever made there. Marvelous creatures . . .

Adam. The contract . . . Ew did he bite him, bro licked the blood off . . . Sydney wants Adam to let the bird out, he says it will help in their research . . . then it mimics what Jedidiah told Adam in their last session . . .

Sydney dinner announcement. Its quiet. Silence. Just regular camp noises. The noise the camp was making only made the birds take that as a challenge. While Camp Over Where had their musical act together. . . . him and his damn tambourine . . . the birds were quite interested in their music. Mavis was watching the birds the entire time and noticed that they followed shiny things. Music was never the answer . . . They took a bunch of shiny stuff and reflected them in order to lead the birds away from camp. Then they all left. "Memory is only dangerous when you stop listening." . . . Matthew still grieving his cooking pot bro.

Sydney is walking through the woods wheezing. Adam is there . . . where did they go? Jedidiah has talked to Sydney, he said Adam was dangerous, he said he was trying to protect Sydney. Yet that bird made it clear to Sydney. Sydney wants to know. They are there. (Where?). Sydney's head hurts . . . Adam asked for Sydney's arm and to roll up his sleeve . . . dear god please no . . . it must be Sydney's choice . . . Sydney no. Sydney. Sydney. Sydney. . . . Blood . . . Something is wrong, Sydney's chest. Cold. . . . Oh god. Weight . . . Sydney. Sydney your coughing . . . he felt dead . . . woah his coughing . . .
