Camp Sleep S'More (Day Six)

[Uncle Festy]

Dan slows down as soon as he hears Larra, and waits for her to catch up. He starts shivering. "I probably should have brought something warmer..."

[Alarra]

"It should be nice and warm by the fire," Larra assures him as they hurry toward where the other campers are gathering.

[Ganurath]

After bringing his spare jackets from the cabin, Ganurath makes his way to the bonfire. He notices somebody shivering, so he tosses one of the spares to Dan. "Give it back after the bonfire, okay?"

[FoE]

The Face of Evil raises his hand. "Hey, Mr. Tie-Dye," he says, addressing Smellie Hippie, "to contact my folks I need to sacrifice a farm animal and draw ceremonial symbols in its entrails. So, do you suppose I could get a goat or a lamb or something instead of this quarter?"

[Trog]

*Out in the woods there is head a straaaaaaange sound in the distance*

Waaaaashaaaawadooooida... ...shaaalorrrr

*the sound of breaking branches can be heard. The sound is coming closer...*

Waaaaashaaaawadooooidadunkinshaaalor!!!

It's just outside of the radius of the firelight now. A shambling figure gives another hideous cry!*

Waaaaashaaaawadooooidadunkinshaaalor!!!

*A dark figure lurches into the light*

Errrrrlieundamoooorninnn!!

*Mr. Trog stops in front of the fire, sways a bit, then with a zip of his overalls relieves himself on the fire. With a hiss and a FWOOOM! the fire leaps higher due to the distinctly high alcohol content of the janitor's bladder.*

Evnin kiddies. *swigs off of his paper bag* Drink up me hearties Yo Ho...

*stumbles off into the night*

Waaaayheeyanupsherizzez, Waaaayheeyanupsherizzez, Waaaayheeyanupsherizzez, Gotwoodinnnamornin! *hic*

[Nychta]

@ Jim: "Sounds great! Come over to the fire; we'll be late. As for the pranking, maybe tomorrow? Meet you here at around 6?"

Without waiting for a reply, Nadia dashes off to the comforts of her Llama blanket beside the fire.

Once she's comfy, she calls out "Come sit over here!"

((ooc: I don't actually INTEND to prank anyone. Yet. Just so you know. Nadia will keep coming up with increasingly ridiculous excuses, from an RP perspective.))

[Indurain]

Gizmo, still focused intently on his PSP takes a seat by the fire, but is clearly not paying any attention. Though he does manage to move out the way of stumbling drunken janitor in time to avoid any splashback.

(Trog...you're my hero!)

[Thanatos 51-50]

"I was thinking more like tonight - midnight... after the campfire story, aren't you coming to the campfire, anyway?"

Jim replies as he slides up to the campfire, still not in his pajamas, as many of the other campers appear to be. He draws his hoodie closed and stares into the flames, waiting for Hippie to begin.

[Helgraf]

Darion looked up from the copy of the map with the river plan only when the sun set and he could no longer easily read what he'd written. It was going to take a lot more time to extend the trench all the way to the cabin. He slowly worked his way up the hill only to see several incongruous things. Grumbling a word he learned from his Grandfather under his breath, he took out the long stick with the Y split and moved the bucket, trudging back down all the way to the trench to empty it. He then walked all the way back up to the cabin, only to spy _another_ bucket up on the roof. Shaking his head, he picked up some rocks and kept throwing until he knocked it over. At this point he was suspicious, and began to look around the cabin at length. The fishing line trap was 'disarmed' by pushing the long stick against it until enough pressure was applied to send the remains of the sleeping bag falling to earth without opening the window. The stink holes went unnoticed and the trick step would have, except Darion needed to go into the cabin to retrieve his book and booklight - so it collapsed under him, sending him spilling into the mud.

This prompted an entire string of words he'd learned from his Grandfather. When he managed to push himself to his feet, he stomped up the good stairs of the cabin, opened the door, grabbed his pack and slung it over his shoulder. He then stumped outside, carefully stepping around the bad step, then looking for something to jam under the bad step so nobody else's clothes would be ruined because someone had to be an jerk.

He headed toward the center of camp for the inevitable bedtime story, noticing 'Larra and Dan approaching from another direction.

"Hey ... hello there ... good to meet you, I think," he mumbles under his breath - the dirt from the mud from his spill with the trick step has done little to help an already somewhat disheveled appearance. He sucks in a breath quietly, face scrunching up a bit as the stresses of the day begin to catch up with him.

[Dallas-Dakota]

DD turns around in his bed. Meh a bakers life is sure tough.
DD jumps out of bed, sets the oven on on pre-heat and starts preparing ingredients.
Second clockwise, third up. Yes and now let it sudder for 5 ours and 22 minuts and 39 seconds.
With that, DD hops back in bed.

[Jagg]

(ooc) Aww c'mon Helgraf couldn't you let SHADOW be the one to find them all?...Of course all those pranks were DESIGNED to be set up once you were all inside..because I didn't see Hippie's post about the campfire...otherwise I would have done something different... Like this....(/ooc)

Sitting on a log is a small sign saying..reserved for Shadow. It sits on an innocent looking log all alone. JAGG turns up in jeans and a hoodie, his hands buried deep in their pockets after Mr Trog "stokes" the fire.

[Dallas-Dakota]

DD wakes up again, seeing all the traps, he ´neatly´ avoides them, as much as a 9 year old can.

He then go´s fishing. Completely missing and ignoring the weird stares he gets from the people by the campfire.
What? I also make Fish Cookies.

[Nychta]

[/COLOR][/COLOR]Midnight's when I'll be... out... getting, uh, food. Sorry. I should have said; I only drink mammal blood.
You notice the bags under the young teen's eyes. I guess there just aren't enough hours in the day for me, she smiles wanly. Staring at the fire, she somehow flicks a small flame out of it and holds it close. Mmm, warm...

((Is that font colour easy enough to distinguish between Nadia's speech and other actions?))

[V Junior]

Junior screams when the fire leaps up, and then takes out her annoyance by firing a few duckies and Mr Trog.

[Mountain_Faerie]

Mountain Faerie flits through camp rounding up the rest of the straggling campers. This is the strangest group of kids we've ever had. I can't believe they all wanted to go to bed without a campfire story. They might as well have stayed at home, curled up in their camper-tops. I guess we'll have to show them the true meaning of camp.

v: scoops up Dallas-Dakota, hands him a fish, and carries him off to the campfire.

[Dallas-Dakota]

Hey! I take offense to tha'! DD yells at the flying thingy.
I want a bedside story but I go to bed around 6 times a day. sleeping around 2 hours each time, bedtime stories would take to much time. And as I proved with my mom, the stories run out quik, so I won't have any for when I need one! But I'm wanting one!
...
...
...
After I'm done fishing...

[Uncle Festy]

"Hey. I'm Dan. What's your name?" Dan suddenly seems to notice Darion's clothes. "What happened to you?"

[DemonicAngel]

Bargin walks to the circle around the camp fire, and find's himself a comfy place to sit.. he then looks at the fire with a somewhat sad face.

[Supagoof]

Supagoof finds a spot around the campfire with the rest of the cabin mafia.

Yeah, Sees, us Mafia gots to stick together sees, yeah! We's here for some ghost stories sees, cause we ain't scarred o nuttin. Now we sees if them bunches of yous out there has anything to say about it?
He says is a poorly imitated Cagney voice.

[Free Hand]

Jerry works his way over to the camp fire, with little else to do besides sleep. He tries to avoid Jagg for fear he might be a causality in the on going prankwar between him and Shadow. He was skeptical about the story, it would probably dribble down a time when the camp director found a 20 year old permanent marker, he had some experience along those line from phone conversations with his aunt.

[Jontom Xire]

"Hey, 'Goof, we're in the same cabin! Isn't that cool. This is going to be so much fun."

Jontom flops to the ground next to Supagoof, prattling endlessly, hardly seeming to need to pause to breathe.

"What do you think the story's gonna be about? I hope it's about werewolves. I like werewolf stories. And Games. Werewolf games are fun too, don't you think? Do you think werewolves are real? Do you reckon any of those other kids are werewolves? I'm not a werewolf, though it'd be quite cool to be a werewolf. I'd rather be a were-black-panther though. Black panthers are cool. They're way cooler than wolves. Wolves are just dogs really, and dogs are boring and stupid really. I'd much rather be a cat than a dog, don't you think? Cats are much cleverer than dogs. You throw a stick for a dog and the dog just goes and fetches it. How slavish! You throw a stick for a cat and it just looks at you and thinks; If you want the damn stick why'd you throw it away you moron! Don't you think? Cats are way cooler than any other animal. I like cats."

[Supagoof]

Cats are okay. Our cat at home is named *Squish. Squish the cat! Dad has a sense of humor. But if you like werewolves why do you like cats cause wolves are quite close to dogs you know? And they can change in humans. But the only human I know that's a cat is catwoman. She fights batman, who isn't a bat at all, but he has really cool toys that go no his belt.

Supagoof joins in the discussion at a similar excited pace and talk.

((*True story, my cat's name is Sqush.))

[Jontom Xire]

"Squish is a silly name for a cat. You can't squish cats 'cos they're too quick. I like werewolves 'cause they're cool and fierce and scary and wild, but I like were-panthers better 'cause they're cool and fierce and scary and wild but they're also cats and more graceful and stylish and cool an' stuff. And quicker. Catwoman is cool. I'd like to be like catwoman, but a boy obviously, like catboy or something. Batman isn't very cool. You know bats are just rats with wings really and rats are icky. Cats kill rats. I wouldn't want to be a flying rat. A flying cat might be quite cool though."

[I'm da Rogue!]

Little Rogue is singing loud and listening to her favourite band on her walkman.

"Take me down to the Paradise City,
where the grass is green and the boys are pret-*PAUSE*

What? It's already dark outside?

I think I'm supposed to be doing something now, but can't remember what.. And where's everybody?

And what's that light over there? It looks like..

The Fire!!!

I can't believe I almost missed that!!

She is one of the last to arrive. She sits on a good spot, and waits for mr.Hippie's story.

[Helgraf]

Darion shook his head in annoyance. "Someone decided our cabin needed to be sabotaged, so they broke one of the steps so it wouldn't hold up if you stepped on it. Well, I'm the one who stepped on it and fell down into the mud because someone had to be a big old jerk." He tried to brush away some of the dirt, but only really succeeded in getting his hand dirty.

He paused a bit. "Nnnmm. So, what'd you do today?"

[Nychta]

Nadia hears Helgraf's story, and giggles. Wow, and it's not even past our first night yet. She stops giggling when she sees the number of dark looks coming towards her. Uh, of course it's still bad, though... She smiles embarassedly and looks guiltily towards Jim.

[Shishnarfne]

Franky, for lack of a better description, is fairly bouncing in place near the campfire... He hasn't actually moved three inches from where he sat down, but no part of him ever actually seems to be stationary. "Ooh, ooh, my last camp never told scarystories, they said it'd give all the little kids baddreams, like the time I watched a movie my parents said I was too young to watch while I was over at my friends house, but his parents said we were old enough... Couldn't sleep for a week, seeing Littlefoot's mother die every time I closed my eyes... But I really liked the movie."

Franky didn't bother with putting on any sort of coat, so while he looks like he should be cold, wearing shorts and a T-shirt, he doesn't seem to have noticed it yet... "Cabin Lamalamaduck is gonna be so much fun! I bet we're all gonna be really good friends, right? Right?"

He moves over to be closer to Francis (Freshmeat), who he remembers being in his cabin, "Hey, you're named Francis, too? I haven't met 'nother Francis yet, but only my daddy and my teacher call me that, and only when I'm in trouble. I bet we're gonna have alot of fun here at camp! Don't you think so?"

[The Valiant Turtle]

The oversize turtle that will probably end up being declared the official mascot of cabin Pirates stops his digging shortly before the sun goes down. He glides slowly over towards the firepit, picking up his quarter on the way, and then realizes that his quarter has just enough psychic energy in it for him to contact dad once.

He spends quite a lot of time trying to find a good spot to watch the campfire, trying to be close enough to keep warmish, but not get roasted.

It's tough being semi-cold blooded

He finally settles in at the end of one of the benches and awaits the scary story.

[Jagg]

JAGG walks up to Helgraf, "You tripped the pranks? Well I'm sorry about that, they were for Shadow not you. You have my apologies. I couldn't help overhearing though that you think I am a big jerk for doing so. Are you aware that Shadow was being a big bully to me and has also pranked me in return? I mean look at me. I'm six, Shadow is a lot bigger than me, if I thought I had a chance I would have punched him for trying to bully me but I'm not big enough. Now despite my size I stood up for myself and told Shadow that I'd prank him silly if he bullied me or anyone else during this camp. Well do you want the pranks to stop? Then you man up and take some responsibility for the small kids at the camp and let Shadow know that his behaviour is not acceptable. Good luck with that." he says and wanders back to his spot near the fire.

[Thanatos 51-50]

Jim blushes as Nadia shoots him the guilty look.
Wait a second, Helgraf was in my cabin - I must find the perpetraitor and prank him right back!

then JAGG apolgises to Helgraf, explaining the traps were meant for O'Thadow.

In that case, I'll Prank O'Thadow... yes, no-one will suspect it was me!
