I HAVE THE BEST CABIN

IT'S NOT GARBAGE GATOR CABIN OR FROG CABIN LIKE NOBODY GAF ABOUT TOADS THEY'RE NATURE'S REFUSE OR SQUIRREL CABIN HAVE YOU EVEN SEEN A SQUIRREL NOPE DIDN'T THINK SO THEIR EXISTENCE IS A LIBERAL LIE


I'm staying in Dog Cabin. Dogs are okay, right? Dogs love you no matter who you are. (Unless you've got steak, in which case they love you more.) Okay, so maybe dogs can sniff me out (get it? It's a pun. Ha-ha. :S), but...they're still friendly, right? Sometimes. I guess.

I'm staying in Dog Cabin with, um....that girl. Whose clothes I sort of borrowed. Rachel. She's not gonna go through my things, right? So...so it'll be okay. She won't find out and freak and get *mad* and yell or...or anything. Right? Rachel and some sniffly girl and, uh....well, okay, my bunkmate hasn't actually shown up yet. Somebody tossed her stuff on the bottom bunk, though, and I totes didn't go through it or anything, I just have this sort of feeling that her name's Sally Silver.

I hope she's okay.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So the other day I sort of panicked 'cos I saw that girl, loving...Liz? Scary big sister girl. Yeah, Liz. I panicked 'cos I saw her out the cabin window so i sort of casually walked out to the back and then I just *ran* and....I don't know. I ran awhile. I only stopped running when I passed this ginormous old tree and realised that i couldn't even see the cabin anymore.

I thought it'd be a good idea to kill some time there, so I walked a bit further and checked stuff out, and...I dunno. It's weird. There's this sort of grassy clearing with an honest-to-god ring of weird mushrooms in all sorts of colors circling it -- part of me wanted to try one and see if it'd make me trip balls or whatever, but I didn't 'cos aren't some wild mushrooms poisonous? -- and when i stepped past the line of :catdrugs: shrooms :catdrugs: everything felt kind of...weird. Like, not like I was high or anything, but....I dunno. The air felt like it was buzzing, I guess? But in this sort of pleasant, warm, ticklish kind of way. I left after awhile, and lucky me, scary girl who's probably going to kill me if she catches me wasn't there anymore (jeez, I spent like two hours there for some reason), but I wanna come back.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Am I a big loving nerd if I actually kind of like my classes?

The teachers aren't pushy or SO EXCITED LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT LEARNING KIDS or w/e, they're just kind of...there.

Literature isn't so bad -- i won't have to do any loving journals, thank god -- and French is okay. I guess. I dunno, it's sort of difficult and that scary rich girl is in it and ugh our teacher is just ughhhhhhhh, but.....i guess it could be worse, right?

Okay, so apparently French is THE class to be in. :france: Too bad you missed out on that actual cultural field trip to France this summer that a lot of your peers probably went on.

GodFish promised to finish up Rachel's answers later. In the meantime, you all can highlight stats. The player with the most strings on you gets to highlight one of your stats. Use democracy or something in case of a tie.

Three-way tie: Atash, Cassandra, and Jonah all have 1 String on Amber, so highlight away.

Also, since I have most on Jonah: I highlight his Hot. Let's see the Bible boy get tempting. :getin:

P.S. Should I amend Amber's classes so I share at least one with someone else?

Either Cassandra or Atash is highlighting for Natalie.

Unless someone has more than two strings on Eva, I'm the one highlighting for her -- I'll pick Volatile.

Join Physics! All the kewl kids are in it. It also has liquid nitrogen.

I will highlight Amber! Amber, why do you have to be so cold to Atash? I mean, he is a kewl dude, he likes things other people like. Like food, um, lets see, also peace and quiet, clubs and also electronica.

as for Atash

Current history:
Person : My Strings/Their Stings

Amber the Witch : 1/1
Natalie the Neighbor : 2/2
Jonah the Reverent : 0/2
Robin the Cuckoo : 0/1
Eva the Hollow : 2/1
Cassandra the Wyrm : 0/2
Rachel the Chosen : 2/1

Three way tie! Natalie, Jonah and Cassandra!

You might want to check your math there:
Strings (Me on them|Them on Me)
Amber: 1|1
Atash: 1|2
Natalie: 2|0
Jonah: 0|1
Robin: 1|1
Cassandra: 1|0
Rachel: 0|1

Pretty sure Atash gets to pick mine. Does anyone else have two or more strings on Natalie?

e: There may be a bit of confusion. Eva has two strings on Natalie because she's always watching her and her social interactions.

Ok to help break all these ties and get more strings out there for Cassandra to play with, you're getting some additional ones for free.

Take 1 String on your PC Cabin Buddy. You're all up in each others' personal space. You're bound to know more about them or notice something fishy. Does Atash really sleep on MLP bedsheets? How many times is Amber going to sing that loving song from the Frozen soundtrack?

CAMP is certified by the great state of Florida to administer transferable highschool credits. They get a kick back for every student they enroll. So whether you like it or not, you're forced to take two classes. These can be remedial make-up poo poo or or some dumb pointless electives. Tell us about some of your bullshit classes and what sucks about them? They take up maybe half your day 4-days a week. So you got plenty of time for other stupid poo poo like hiking, canoeing, loving, and prayer groups.

So I signed for Advanced Physics II because for some reason it's one of only two math-related courses they offer and this was the one Natalie was taking. I thought I'd have to just pretend I knew what was going on, but the really freaky thing is I understand everything perfectly the moment the teacher explains them like I already knew them. I had to ask a counselor what a 'class' was, but I know Graham's Law as easy as breathing. What the hell is up with that?

French is kinda like that too, but the weird thing there is that after a whole class speaking French, it's like I start to forget how to speak English for a bit. It all comes back to me once everyone around me starts talking English again, though. Is that what learning a foreign language is supposed to feel like?

So what else makes up Lake Silver? Well there's a lake duh. It probably has some swimming docks, right? We've established cabins and such too. What else? Each of you tell me about a feature of the area.

When we had that stupid boat safety training on the first day (I mean honestly who doesn't understand boat safety? Don't stand up and dance in your boat: done.), I said gently caress it and went off in the kayak (canoe? I can never keep those straight) to check out the lake a bit, and I was surprised. I know from the shore it looks more like Lake Milfoil, but once you get towards the middle, the water actually turns crystal clear, and is really pretty looking. But, there was this one spot, you could see all the way down to the bottom, and there was like, this ruined village down there. It was made of stone, and had a bunch of carvings, I guess village is the wrong word, more like ruined five or six buildings, but still. One of them was actually mostly upright, and looks sort of like a church. You know the weird thing though? I think I saw some light coming out of the building, but a second later, it was gone, so it was probably some reflection of the sun light off the water?

Sorry potatocubed, I lied about Fencing, I'm going to take metal working instead

So taking classes at a summer camp is so completely opposite the point of a summer camp that words can't even describe how stupid this is, but I was pretty excited when I saw metal working as a listened option. I mean, who doesn't want to bend metal to their will and make awesome swords and armor and poo poo, right? The camp counselors apparently, because all get to do is make dumbass chairs. I suppose I might be able to sneak it later to make something cool.

I'm also taking French, because I figured that was basically like Latin, and I had to learn a bunch of stupid latin gibberish because pretty much 7/9ths of everything ever written about a monster is in latin for some reason. After taking a few classes..... I'm pretty sure the two languages have nothing in common though.


ROOMMATES PART TWO

So the other bunk is Robin, who seems... nice? I guess? She seems kind of shy, so we haven't really talked at all past sort of 'hi' 'how are you' 'fine' 'fine' stuff. As long as she doesn't like freak out and start complaining about me leaving a lot of my clothes lying around (I have a really bad habit of just leaving them on the ground when I get undressed, shut up okay) or something, I think she'll be fine. The other one is.... Sally? I think I met her at the start, but I haven't seen her since, so.... She must be an outdoors person. Even more than me I mean.

Amber. Teach us all how to cast REAL spells. Highlight Dark.
Atash. Let's see you scheme and be manipulative. Make daddy proud. Highlight Hot.
Natalie. When you take off your glasses, it's like I'm really seeing you for the first time. Highlight Hot.
Jonah. Jesus wants you to keep them lustful girls and boys at bay. Highlight Cold.
Robin. Nobody wants you here. Why don't you just run away? Highlight Volatile.
Eva. The human condition is a mystery that you need to contemplate for a while. Highlight Dark.
Cassandra. You have been accused of Bitchcraft. How do you plead? Highlight Cold.
Rachel. Make love not war. Highlight Hot.

For those of you in the infirmary, timing and poo poo is becoming a bit of an issue here. So just like in a table-top session, I will use my fancy MC fiat to guide this scene into the biggest cluterfuck we can. Here's a rundown of things in order and what you should wait for:

1) Robin makes her decision.
2) Eva can leave with Robin, but she needs to Run Away as well. A fail doesn't necessarily mean you don't get to run away too. We'll see!
3) Then I have a special surprise in store for Atash :)
4) And finally Rachel and Rosa walk in and will see everyone still there.

Please stop for any hard moves.
