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!

I have a sneaky suspicion the Cap has the gemstone. 'Cuz I wouldn't be caught dead losin' something like that. 'Sides, I specifically remember havin' it on me before I blew myself up.

Of course he did.

[Ebalon sighs and shrugs, though the shrug is less nonchalant and more "I expected that much". He considers himself lucky, then, that he doesn't typically bring his stuff out of his room.]

I wonder where he keeps things like that? If you could steal it back, perchance...

[opheliac]

Probably behind that stupid door no one can go through.

(after all, it is the one place no one's been in and unable to explore.)

I wager you're right. Still, not all doors can remain locked forever. Dimensions that are controlled by one entity like this have their own sets of rules... [The Science Mode has woken up.] ...but that doesn't mean that we're helpless. The problem is figuring out a way to circumvent dimensional rules, however. That, or convincing the Captain to modify them.
