JUNE EVENT: CAMP

[sailmods]

early on June 10th, Friday's morning announcements end with a request for everyone going on the latest excursion to meet her in the atrium. she seems in noticeably better spirits than she had been last time, and she leads them cheerfully to the tender. once they are all aboard, and the door is securely shut, the interior fills with gas, and, perhaps, their last thought before they slip into unconsciousness is "oh shit, not again."

passengers wake up on a rickety old school bus, driving down a dirt road surrounded by woods. what is it that they notice first? that, no matter what they were wearing before, they are now wearing a camp t-shirt and legitimately horrifyingly short shorts? the overstuffed backpack between their knees? the words "take one down and pass it around" dying on their lips? the fact that Friday is absolutely driving the bus?

or, maybe the fact that it's already slowing down, pulling up in front of a massive wooden sign, saying:

 

 

 

 

 

CAMP AION

when they get out of the bus, Friday is the one to divide them up into their cabin groups, and she is the one to give the counselors their very official-looking clipboards and whistles. she explains that they are in charge, and that she will be back to pick them up in a week, and... very little else. she responds to nothing outside of whatever is on her unseen little script, and she gets back on the bus shortly after, leaving them there.

welcome to camp. let's make some summer memories!

[The country accent gets him right in the heart, hello? Ugh...]

Is that how it works? I believe when two people love each other, they're supposed to kiss.

[Ew.]

[mooninthewater]

[ Well, it’ll occasionally come out. It comes with dating someone who’s literally from the sticks. Even if he does usually speak “more proper”. For now, he drills the marshmallow stick into the ground so he can more easily face Ebalon. ]

And now he's tryna solicit me for kisses! The scandal! [ He taps his lips for a moment. ] Though, I do suppose I am a sucker for his kind face. Maybe I wouldn’t mind if he gave me one~?

[selenokinesis]

[If that marshmallow catches fire that's between it and Henir.]

My! Solicit you for kisses? No, not at all. I'd never do something like that. [Except he totally would, and in fact he nuzzles their noses together for a half-second before tilting his head down and stealing a kiss. Gross.]

[mooninthewater]

[ Look, it's fine. They can just get another one! That marshmallow and live in the flames and die gooey or whatever. Mizuki isn't concerned. He's way more interested in these kisses, actually. Of which, he absolutely steals another, brushing some of the hair out of Ebalon's face with a cheeky grin. Everyone will just have to deal with this being in front of their salads s'mores, honestly, because Mizuki's having such a good time. ]

You're just a terrible influence, my love. Asking for something as vulgar as kisses... next you're gonna want to hold my hand or something.

[selenokinesis]

I'm scandalized that you'd say such a thing!

[In mock-offense, Ebalon puts his hand up to his chest and huffs like one of those widows on TV who is Super Offended that she got accused of murdering her husband, except he doesn't know that those types of shows exist so it's purely coincidental. Look at him, figuring out humour, way to go buddy.]

...I would kiss the back of your hand before holding it, like a gentleman.

[mooninthewater]

[ Mizuki laughs cheerfully, immediately nuzzling his face into Ebalon's shoulder. He was getting weirdly existential before, but now his silly boyfriend so easily managed to knock him from that funk? Mizuki can't help but wonder how someone can be this perfect. Truly, it's unfair. Who gave him the good boyfriend juice? ]

I love you, you dork. I hope you continue holding my hand forever, okay~?

[selenokinesis]

[Literally who the fuck let Ebalon be good at the boyfriend thing when he can't fucking do anything else.]

I can do that for you.

[Ebalon picks up Mizuki's hand at that, and as he said he would, gently kisses the back of it before twining their fingers together with a hum.

At this point he has literally no idea that everyone else has left them to be disgusting on their own time. Bye guys.]
