a camping we will go

[sniptuck]

[ Anyway so one day a bunch of nerds went camping and it went exactly like this the end.

To be more precise, close to the lake on Floater Island a nice lil camping spot has been made! There are a couple of tents next to a campfire. The campfire even have logs arranged around them for that authentic camping experience? You sit on the logs, obviously.

A large variety of snacks have been brought over! There are hot dogs that can be roasted over the fire (made out of... some... animal idk use your imagination). Most importantly, they have marshmallows and chocolate to make s'mores! Because that is the most important part of camping. Clearly.

Mingle with other crew members! Wander around Floater Island and pet birdogs! Tell scary stories by the campfire! Fall into a ditch somewhere and have to be carried back by your crush like a stereotypical shoujo heroine! etc etc have fun ]

[they are probably omnivores]

[Zelda is happy to come on the camping trip! She has never been on one before, in that all her chances to rough it were, you know, less about fun camping and more about running around hitting up seals etc. So she is hanging out by the campfire, happily roasting a marshmallow and putting it together like she learned to make a s'more. Then she tosses it over to the giant bird beside her, who snaps it up cheerfully and happily.

Unfortunately, Zelda's Loftwing gets a taste for s'mores. Such that he may hop around the fire attempting to snap s'mores out of people's hands. Sometimes including the hands. Zelda notices the attempt on YOU, dear prompt-accepter, with concern.] Hey! Don't do that! You know you shouldn't steal!

[THE LOFTWING WANTS S'MORES]

[wildcard option]

[Zelda wanders around the island a lot with and without her Loftwing, investigating different things, and she is always happy to invite along someone to enjoy it with her. She is also far too willing to get into trouble with people.]

[splinten]

[it's dangerous to go alone, or with anyone. it's dangerous to go]

[Floater Island is the safer island to explore, except for one key thing: Dirk and Jake have been using it for training for months. Specifically, Jake has been training Dirk on jungle survival skills. With stupid traps, and sneak attacks, and every other kind of nonsense.

It's why Dirk flashsteps out of nowhere to stop you from going down this particular path.]

You might not want to head down this way. I'm pretty sure there are a few traps that I still haven't set off.

[His expression is as neutral as ever but he isn't joking. Jake's traps are ridiculous.

You might get mud in your hair.]

[wildcard]

[Whatever you want! Dirk will of course be enjoying just the fact that he gets to do campfire things and will happily (monotonously) participate in s'mores and storytelling and the like. He is also trained for jungle competence now so he'll keep an eye out for anyone about to do something stupid, like fall into a ditch, or eat a light frog.]

[potentite]

[Since he spends so much time on Floater Island, it's not surprise that he's just happy to be here with other people. A little anxious, there's butterflies in his stomach, but he's happy nonetheless.

He can be found easily enough a) playing with his dog, a big shaggy robotic dog but it is a dog. He might accidentally hit you with the ball he's throwing for him. Whoops?

But he's also around b) trying to make the biggest s'mores tower he can. Like a s'mores cake. But he keeps eating it instead and holding out s'mores for people to take.]

[armoured]

[Sticky armour is the worst]

[Al probably looks quite intimidating to people that don't know him. A huge suit of medieval style armour with conical spikes, flickering light of the campfire glinting from the metal. He's about to break any sense of being potentially intimidating, however.

He can't actually eat any of the food on offer, but that doesn't mean he's not interested in watching it be made. He's never seen a marshmallow before in his life, they just don't exist where he's from, and so a s'more is completely new to him. Curious, he reaches out to pluck up one of the gooey treats and promptly gets one finger stuck to another... and then another... and another... until his entire hand is a sticky mess.]

Ah-- Ah, oh no... oh dear, I don't think this was supposed to happen.

[Wildcard]

[Al will be around the whole night.

He will always be awake whenever anyone is around, even if they wake up ridiculously early in the morning, and is always happy to talk. He may also try and make sure the campers keep warm by covering any sleepers with added blankets.]

[superseding]

a. the pyro option

[ Sometimes, when you get cleansed by magical fire, you feel as if you can get closer to fire. Or maybe it's you've never really had opportunity to make s'mores over a campfire before because you didn't have a very typical childhood. Either way (it's both), Hotaru's roasting a marshmallow, and she positions it a little too close to the flame, close enough that it catches on fire.

Hotaru yelps and drops both marshmallow and stick. She looks a little sorry as the fire consumes it all. ]

I didn't mean for that to happen...

[ She doesn't mean to waste food, but it is a little fascinating to watch. ]

b. the help a small girl out option

[ Hotaru isn't a shoujo heroine, but she is from a shoujo series. She is also a girl who can't ignore the cry of a pitiful sounding animal. She thought she heard the whine of a birdog and tried to follow it. Concerned, her focus wasn't on looking an the ground, and well, she found her way into a ditch instead.

She healed any small injuries she received from her fall, but she doesn't have the physical or magical means to unditch herself. ]

Hello?

[ Her cry is hesitant. It's not nearly loud enough for someone who wants help. ]

Is anyone near?

[ If anyone isn't near, she'll send out a mass text after a... while:]

I'm sorry to bother people, but I fell into a ditch and can't get out. Please can someone find me?

c. wildcard

[ Camping is a new experience for Hotaru, but it's something she's happily trying. Just being in the presence of so many great people is amazing, but she still is a little shy. If anyone's telling scary stories or any type of story, she'll be there, paying rapt attention as the best audience member you could ask for. She loves stories. ]

[forfeits]

[ don't fall in! ]

[ As exciting as s'mores are (no really, what is a marshmallow, why do you burn it, why does it taste so amazing!!) Ed has started to poke around the campsite. It's nice to be outdoors with other people, at least until Ed begins to wander a little too close to the edge of the lake.

In fact, he's far too close and practically falls in to the shallows on the edge. It's not quite a ditch and he doesn't need saving, but he does try to huff and puff his way out. His metal leg is heavy and it sinks into the silt. ] What the hell! I wasn't even that close! [ If you laugh, you might just get splashed as he stomps and sloshes his way out of the mud and onto dryer land. ]

[ wildcard! ]

[ Come bug Ed! He's eager to explore and be a little more laid back than he normally is on base! He could be found using his alchemy to make a slide or two, maybe even a small obstacle course for them to do, or he could be found examining this whole s'mores business, and probably eating too many marhsmallows for his own good, or whatever hijinks you think he should get up to! Drag him around, call him short, annoy him! ]

[Came Time Fun]

[Komaeda was full of quiet smiles. It was fun to go on a trip with people, to an interesting island, and play around. It was almost like the fun parts of the Island School Trip! However, he really didn't know much about camping. In the end he watched everyone else do things for the most part keeping off to the side. At some point he even tries to make a s'more, but it becomes a huge inedible mess sadly.

However, wasn't there something missing?]

People play games during these sorts of things, right? What kind of games should we play? I think it would be nice to do something as a group.

[Friendly Wildlife; Locked to Kanaya]

Is it alright to leave the group like this?

[He remembered her talking about wanting to come here before, but then, well events came in the way. Though... he wasn't quite sure about trekking around too much.]

I'm not sure how far we should go.

[Wildcard]

[He's not engaging all that much, but he was around. Accidents were probably going to be a given, but hopefully nothing too bad would happen. He's in a good mood as well, he almost seems relaxed, a genuine relaxed as apposed to the fake casualness he had to him normally.]
