JUNE EVENT: CAMP

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!

[ Many other passengers possess many different features, unlike anyone from her reality. Or anyone that she has seen in any of her dreams. The closest example that she can draw from are ominous red glowing eyes from a few individuals in her dreams, but still, that's a much different case! Though she has noticed Jade's unnatural red eyes from time to time, she sort of takes most things in stride, without questioning much. (Much like how she easily accepts traveling around with a giant insect and ghost in a mysterious tower...) At least not until now, with the subject of his glasses coming up.

Fio tilts her head slightly. She knows the more obvious reasons for wearing glasses, like being able to read texts more easily. Or see signs from far away. Perhaps there's another reason that doesn't cross her mind as easily, which is why they're having this conversation. ]


...Is it 'cause your eyes are special?

[ Standing around with nothing but your thoughts can be distracting. Sometimes the mind drifts off to somewhere darker. Which is why she usually tries to immerse herself in a fairy tale. She doesn't know what sorts of books grown-ups like to read though. And being out in a forest, there's no library, of course... ]

I like reading a nice fairy tale if I stay awake too long. Too bad there aren't any books here...
