Camp Idunwanna

[touchofcashmere]

Who: Stede, Skulduggery, John Watson, Ayato, Effie & You?
What: Cabin shenaniganry catcall
When: Duration of the Event
Where: Scorpio Cabin/Camp Aion
Warnings: None Yet



The cabin is at least a tidy one and Stede, once he has managed to get some measure of calm, has made little name plates, with paper and tape, to stick to everyone's assigned bunk. He has the bottom right, closest to the door, so that if anything or anyone should come assault them in the night, he will be there to confront them.

Feel free to use this log as you like, either as inhabitants of the cabin or visitors thereof!

"Oh greenery, I like that. I enjoy the way you think." Who is going to gather the greenery, he's not sure, but that is what he has crew for. This place could use a good sprucing up.

"Also maybe some curtains to set around the bed for privacy. Rig up some blankets, perhaps? I don't know about you, but I do like a little enclosed space." It was very nice, very cozy. Though it might be awkward for those in top bunks.

"Booby traps..." He writes down her suggestion and then thinks. "Well, I'm not sure about that. We don't know if the murderer is going to be one of us or someone- or something outside. I don't know if I don't want to take the risk of accidentally harming one of us. I mean, we may...we..." he takes a deep breath, swallows, lets it out. "We may die....but we all should expect that to happen now and again and is it really worth bruised feelings when we'll have to live with each other in close quarters.

Unless you had some sort of non-lethal or injurious ideas in mind..."

[baubled]

Effie nods her agreement. Curtains would be nice.

Her eyes widen as he continues to really embrace the murderer idea. Effie has no plans of dying in this kind of outfit, thankyouverymuch. "Ah -" she begins, not particular sure if she should address the fact that he looks like he's progressively becoming more nervous about the whole thing. It seems sort of rude to draw attention to it.

"I was thinking more along the lines of an alarm system? Cans or something that makes noise so we'll know if someone tries to sneak in while we're asleep."

Of course that does no good if the murderer is one of them, but what are the chances of that?

[touchofcashmere]

"Good idea. Alarm system." He writes this down as well. "We'll have to figure something out. Maybe we can spread the idea to the entire camp. Everyone should be alerted if something untoward is happening."

And now... He flips a page and looks up.

"Mr... Ayato is it? I'm afraid I don't know you very well, but what is your take on this whole thing?"

[pillaroffortitude]

Ayato himself has been politely listening to the others state their piece, seated comfortably on the edge of one of the bottom bunks with one ankle crossed over the other. It’s rather clear from his demeanor that he’s more than content to quietly hang back and let the others do all the discussing, though now that it’s his turn to speak up he clears his throat and folds his hands together across his lap.

“Given the circumstances, I do agree that it’s best to remain wary. However, from my own personal experience, too much anxiety is a sure fire way to draw undue attention, and thus paint a target upon one’s back. Therefore I second the motion to remain steadfast and maintain a veneer of calm.”

Much like a clear ocean laps gently against the sandy shore, he speaks as if he personally is unbothered by the potential threat above all their heads. He has always been the type to lead by example, and although he’s not in the position of leading at the moment, old habits die hard.

“This cabin, for example, is highly defensible. Barring the threat of someone approaching and setting the wood on fire, should we tend to the windows as miss Trinket has suggested, there is but one clear entrance in or out. We also are in the presence of mister Skullduggery, who by his own admission does not sleep. If he finds the notion agreeable, he could easily be our early warning sign should any sound of trouble approach.”

A pause there, and then a small smile curves one side of his lips slightly upwards as he adds on, “Also, I’ve been told blue as a color suits me best. When I find that sleep eludes me, winding down with a bit of tea and some calligraphy has always helped me settle enough for sleep to find me, and… Given all of us seem to be in agreement over the attire, I’m wondering if it might be prudent of us to craft our own pants, should anyone here have the sewing skills. I’m certain we can deal without a few more rolls of bed linen given we already intend to repurpose some for curtains.”

[lightconductor]

Ayato seems like a sensible sort.

Anyway, Watson helpfully takes this moment to point out, "I fancy my stitching is quite good, though I haven't any notion about tailoring. Cloth is not what I usually stitch, after all, and it's been a little while since I had to darn my own socks. If someone did know about tailoring, I would certainly help assemble these theoretical trousers."

[baubled]

“I know how,” Effie offers brightly, happy to be of use. “It’s been some time since I’ve worked on anything but my own clothes, but you know what they say: it’s like riding a horse!”

She seems completely unaware of having mixed up two sayings and powers on: “I think we’ll all feel much more comfortable once properly dressed.”

[light_mischief]

"Ayato is right about me not sleeping. I'll keep an eye out for trouble." He's already planning on running into the woods at the next possible moment. "I think maybe my flippant remark was taken a bit too seriously, though -- there's not liable to be a murderer or anything like that."

See? He's trying to keep the peace.

"At least, not for the first few days."

Well... He was trying to keep the peace.

"The main thing to worry about is how much we play into the entire camp scenario. I've never been to a summer camp, so I'm sure I'll do terribly at it." If he sounds pleased about that, it's because he is. The whole point of him joining the excursion was to be bad at it. If you're looking for any conversation outside of "how does this benefit the captain and how do we keep that from happening," Skulduggery... probably is not your guy. At least, not for the next twelve hours or so.

[touchofcashmere]

Everyone is talking about sewing and pants and good ideas and it's wonderful, it really is, but Stede feels a little out of his depth. Possibly because even though Skulduggery and John are his crew, they are also his peers to some extent and it's a little disconcerting.


Alarms on the windows is a good idea, and he has no thoughts on the topic of trousers since he doesn't want to work Lucius too hard.

Except...

"I think it'll be impossible to do this badly if we don't know how it's supposed to go." He lets out a breath. "I think the most important thing remains to be looking out for each other. Make sure everyone is calm and...and maybe has a good time inspite of themselves. Even if we are horribly murdered... I mean... it-it might be something we just have to get used to eventually."

[pillaroffortitude]

"If it helps... Personally, I have no intention to dying to anything just yet, and I'm rather well trained in the art of the blade." He holds his hand out and closes his fist around an intricate blue katana that materializes seemingly out of thin air and into his grip, holding it just long enough to make his point before it dissolves away into nothing once again.

"If it comes down to a fight, I can assist in protecting those of you who don't wish to have to engage, provided you do not use this promise to pit me against others when unnecessary."

[touchofcashmere]

"Oh that is very nice! What a neat trick!" It is a beautiful sword indeed and Stede trusts him while at the same time trying not to think of how that would feel in his liver.

"I think we should think of more than just ourselves, of course. Or this cabin. We are all, after all, of a certain age to consider the younger people on board or those that can't defend themselves. So really we ought to spread out and help who and where we can."
