The final chapter of All Ships Week has been posted!

Player, dropping his backpack on the table so Ginger can see what's written on it: God! These bullies are so... UGH! I don't even know what 'boyf' means!

Ginger: quietly places his backpack on the table to show it says 'riend' on it

Player, flustered:

Rules: Name five things your OC would carry in their backpack, pockets, or bag

Thanks, Nat!

Ginger would have lip gloss, a pocket knife, pepper spray, candy (usually M&Ms), and a Moon keychain from the Lucky Stars giftshop.

Since it's summertime (in the Northern Hemisphere), I wanted to fill out some fun summer-themed prompts for Chloe and Ginger! Prompts taken from this post. I didn't answer all of them, so the numbers are out-of-order, sorry.

(05) Does your OC ever go to fireworks displays in the summer?

Chloe: She almost always watches the Independence Day fireworks with her family, like any red-blooded American 🦅❤️🤍💙🎆🎇💥🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. Sometimes, they'll even set off a few of their own at home. Her brother and some older cousins set off the big ones, but the kids get smaller fireworks, sparklers, and pop-its. She got to set off one of the bigger fireworks, once, but she held the match too long and burned her fingers, so now she just watches.

Ginger: She used to watch fireworks with her parents, but she stopped when she moved out. The rest of the gang convinced her to join them to watch the fireworks show the July after Celestial Shift. She enjoyed it very much. She had forgotten how beautiful they were.

(06) What is your OC’s favorite way to cool down on a hot day?

Chloe: She loves to swim. It always brings back memories of playing with her siblings in the family pool. She's a faster swimmer than Carrie (and maybe Caleb, but he often throws races to eat poolside snacks before she can get to them), and she can hold her breath longer than anyone in her family.

Ginger: When alone, she loves lying down on the floor in front of or on top of a vent. When there are other people or free-roaming pets around, she'll settle for sitting on the couch with an ice-cold water, or maybe a soda.

(07) What is your OC’s favorite frozen treat?

Chloe: Ice cream! She likes almost any form or flavor, but her favorites are chocolate and pistachio (sometimes she mixes them together).

Ginger: She also likes ice cream. Her favorite flavor is Cookies and Cream.

(08) Has your OC ever gone to a summer camp?

Chloe: She went to a family summer camp for a few years. Her swimming skills helped her team win any water-related games.

Ginger: She went to a camp once during middle school. She liked the activities, but it was her first time being away from home for so long, so she got pretty homesick by the end of the week.

(09) Does your OC ever go camping in the summer?

Chloe: No. She doesn't like sleeping outside.

Ginger: She vaguely remembers going on a few camping trips when she was a child, but not anymore.

(10) Does your OC take vacations in the summer?

Chloe: Her family almost always takes a big vacation in the summer, although her siblings are sometimes too busy to come along, now.

Ginger: No.

(12) Has your OC ever run a lemonade stand?

Chloe: She really wanted to, but it was illegal in her area.

Ginger: Twice. The first time was to save up for a new toy she wanted when she was 7, and the second time was to help with a school fundraiser when she was 15.

(14) What does your OC’s typical summer outfit include?

Chloe: A light blouse and capris, or maybe a flowey sundress if she's feeling fancy.

Ginger: A t-shirt, usually with a fun graphic, and jeans or denim shorts.

(15) Is there any summer clothing that your OC refuses to wear?

Chloe: Shorts and miniskirts that are shorter than her fingertips, mostly for modesty reasons.

Ginger: Flip flops. She hates having things stuck in-between her toes.

(16) What does your OC’s swimsuit look like?

Chloe: She has multiple swimsuits, but her favorite one is a red-and-white polka dot swimdress, which she may or may not have bought because it reminded her of Minnie Mouse's most famous dress (and Sun may or may not have bought a pair of red swim trunks to match her).

Ginger: She has a plain black one-piece which she usually wears black shorts with, although she's thinking about getting some blue ones.

(24) Does your OC ever get sunburnt?

Chloe: Occasionally, but she's pretty good about wearing sunscreen. Even when she doesn't, she tends to tan more than she burns.

Ginger: Yes, she burns very easily. This girl needs max SPF and/or shade at all times, and even then she'll usually end up with a pink nose.

(26) What would your OC’s novelty pool float look like?

Chloe: Watermelon raft

Ginger: Ridiculous Inflatable Swan Thing

(35) How does your OC feel when summer ends?

Chloe: A little disappointed, but still excited for fall.
