Tobias Tobias was sitting quietly on his bed meditating when Deb showed up. He opened his eyes and looked calmly at the boy. "Calm down, I can't help if you can't tell me what's wrong." He said in a soothing tone, "What happened to her?" Min-Su "I doubt there will be any going back for any of us." Min-Su said solemnly, "My daughter least of all." She shook her head sharply, as if to clear her head. "Sorry, sorry. Don't mind me and my nonsense, I'm sure we'll find her just fine." Her cheerful demeanor had returned, but her eyes still held a solemn look.

Eva After helping construct the fire, Eva hadn't found much to do. Dealing with the boats was too wet, and even if it weren't, she was pretty sure her abilities would have been too destructive to actually help with anything. That second part was what she was trying to remedy now. She was practicing with her chakram in an attempt to use it for more precise cutting and less wide-area slashing. To do this, she was attempting to cut perfectly straight slivers off the edge of a piece of cardboard she'd found lying around. Eva is trying to learn a trick to let her cut things more precisely (also if anyone feels like being curious she's free to interact and stuff)

Katsuo Katsuo accepted the orders he was given and set his sights on the second monster. Gwaedu beeped at him a couple times, blinking as she did so. "Yeah, I know it's gross, but now isn't exactly the time to worry about getting your spikes dirty." He responded. Gwaedu made a low siren-like sound, expressing her indigence. "Oh sure you weren't." Katsuo teased, "Let's just smash it, okay?" Gwaedu booped in agreement. Katsuo lifted the mace up to point at his target, her spikes glowed crimson with energy. Tendrils of magic launched out of her at high speed, attaching to their foes chest (at least Katsuo was pretty sure it was a chest). Another set of magical tendrils ran from Gwaedu's hilt to Katsuo's wrist, binding the three beings together. "Let's do this." Katsuo said with an anticipatory grin. Gwaedu whistled menacingly, matching Katsuo's anticipation. Katsuo uses Blood Pact (Taunts a target for 2 turns.

Haley "No." Cici answered curtly. Without looking up from her game, she climbed down from the bed and followed Kaede towards the exit. "We need to go get our schedules now, hurry up Lucille." Haley jumped at her name and stumbled to follow, shouting, "Y-yes Miss Cici! Coming!" Before realizing how loud she was speaking. Cici didn't seem to notice, or at least didn't care, as she simply continued out the door without another glance. Natalie Natalie laughed softly at Arya's response. "Well I'm actually glad some people can't handle it, because this is going to be a lot easier with you around." It didn't take all that long to unpack, but since Natalie had arrived so late, they were still left with very little time before they had to get their schedules. "I'm done." Natalie announced finally. She checked the time on her phone. "We've still got five minutes, but we better get going now if we don't want to be in more trouble."

Natalie Natalie contemplated how much to say for a moment before answering, "Mom decided I needed a time out. She says I've been talking back to her and my teachers too much and that I need to get my attitude in check." She looked down to avoid meeting Arya's gaze. "She's right, I have been pretty troublesome. It's just." She trailed off. After a much shorter silence, Natalie took off her glasses and wiped her reddened eyes. "I don't think I want to talk about this right now." she said, "Can we just unpack our things and get our schedules?" She smiled weakly in an attempt to show positivity, adding, "And can I assume you're also in for talking back to a teacher?"

Sharp Naya didn't take Arturia's rebuttal very well. "Well. I. You." She stammered ineffectively before scowling and returning to her previous grumpy state. At least this time she didn't have obligations to fulfill. Sharp, for his part, stayed silent on the matter. His stubbornness would only add further to the problem again. But there was another matter he couldn't stay silent on. "Um, Miss Arturia?" He said, "It's time to get our schedules." They'd only been given half an hour to unpack, and they'd wasted the first ten minutes on arguing, so it was already time to head out. Lexi Since everyone else had gone, Lexi seemed stuck taking a turn. She sat up on the bed with an exaggerated groan. "Am Lexi Aislin, just call me Lexi. I like books, games, cartoons, comics, video games, paper airplanes, and the color blue." As she listed these off, she counted along one hand, but somehow when she was finished, she only had four fingers up. Noticing this, she quickly stowed her hand behind her back. "So yeah, that's, uh, that's me and stuff. Also we might want to get our schedules now." Natalie Just as Arya finished reading the note, her roommate decided to arrive. Acting as though she weren't ten minutes late, Natalie walked directly to the bed and threw her duffle bag on the lower bunk. she also had a rolling suitcase with her, which she set next to the dressers and made no effort to unpack. She sat on the bed looking somewhere between angry and hurt, it seemed likely she hadn't planned on being treated as a delinquent. Though she had definitely noticed Arya, she seemed to refuse to notice her presence, causing an uncomfortable silence to grow between them.

Haley Haley thought for a moment that Alva might actually stop Cici's disruptive behavior, but her hopes were dashed when Cici didn't even look up from her game. What is i- FIST YOUR MOM, FUCKFACE! -t Hill?" she asked dismissively. It was almost impressive how she managed to curse halfway through a single syllable word so effortlessly. Haley wasn't so impressed, however, and she visibly jumped at the sudden outburst. She didn't like dealing with loud people, people who cursed a lot, and especially not people who cursed loudly. This whole situation was making her very nervous, she was already regretting coming along on to this retreat.

Arya The note read: "Arya, I'm sorry to spring this on you so suddenly, but I'm having you room with Natalie. She's been difficult as of late. She responds well to you, I'd appreciate if you could find what's troubling her and help her through it. Even if that's too troublesome, I thought you might like having a room away from the others. These outings tend to cause people to get rather personal, it seemed best you avoid that for now. Blessings, Mother Opium" It was pretty unusual for Mother Opium to do something like this out of the blue. Whatever was going on with Natalie was probably pretty serious. Arya and Natalie didn't interact much at school, mostly because Natalie felt a need to act like a massive bitch in public, but privately they were far from strangers, though it had been at least half a year since they had met privately. Natalie was among the few who knew about Arya's past. And in turn Arya was one of the few who knew about Natalie's own struggles with her birth and abandonment. Natalie seemed to trust Arya, so if something really was wrong, Arya was most likely to be able to get it out of her. (OOC: I have attempted to avoid directly stating how Arya feels about Natalie while still establishing a general concept of their relationship. It was hard and I probably failed)

Lexi Lexi just sort of groaned as Esyllt tossed her about. She sort of appreciated being put in the bed, but at the same time she was too worn out to care. It had probably been silly of her to put all of her energy into rush-unpacking, but she really wanted to show how responsible she could be. She perked up slightly when introductions were suggested, though she didn't actually respond and introduce herself. The first to respond was actually her sis Riley. Lexi and Riley had been friends for literally their entire lives. They had been born on the same day and lived nearby one another, such that their mothers would get together often. "Introductions, huh?" She said, seeming rather happy to have a go of it, "I'm Riley Callan. I like swords and fortune-telling." she looked expectantly at Lexi, but Lexi didn't feel like going next so Lexi stayed quiet. Sharp Arturia's shaking seemed to come off as rather jarring to Naya, her eyes shot wide open with fear and instead of being huffy she simply nodded and started unpacking her things. Seeing that the other girl was doing her job, Sharp no longer had anything to be stubborn over. He also remained silent as he began unpacking. There was still a heavy air of tension in the room as they worked, but after some time they finished. Unfortunately, it took Naya long enough that she recovered from being literally shaken up. "I'm finished." she announced. But she wasn't finished at all, as she continued, "You know you shouldn't resort to brutish violence so easily, it's not befitting of a follower of logic."

first S on new Eve. I'm still bad in general but I'm improving-ish This thread's gonna have to be renamed to the Lexi-a-month thread

Sharp Sharp wasn't the petty sort, so something childish like this didn't sit well with him. But he was most certainly the stubborn sort, and had no intention of giving in anytime soon. So when Naya shifted her glasses and looked away from Arturia with a huff, it didn't exactly put him in a complying mood. "I'll help when she does." He said firmly, though the high pitch of his voice didn't lend itself much to being firm.

OOC (OOC: Relevant title info and atmosphere music) It is currently early spring, the 7th of April to be precise. The characters have just arrived at camp and are unpacking their things in their cabins. Girls are expected to bring a week's worth of clothing and toiletries and are allowed a small amount of personal items for entertainment, including a single electronic device (which will be confiscated should they be caught using it outside personal time or after curfew), any required medication was given to the school staff before leaving and will be administered under the supervision of a nurse. The girls are granted a short time to become acquainted with one another before they must meet with a teacher to get their schedules. Some may know one another already from school, others may be total strangers. The cabins are grouped by Line and hold 3-5 girls each. The eldest is considered the cabin's head, being responsible for ensuring the others make it to events and are in the cabin by curfew. Each cabin is a single room with a single door and three windows. There are curtains and a rug, colored red, blue, green, or yellow depending on the line associated with the cabin. There are two bunks, as well as a normal bed if there are five girls. A small set of six lockers for storing valuables is placed just inside the door. And a pair of small, single drawer dressers are set up next to each of the bunks (with an extra should there be a fifth cabin member). The room is lit by a single bulb suspended from the center of the ceiling. Those looking for the bathrooms will find them right out the door, as the cabins are constructed in a ring facing these facilities. Cabin 3: Esyllt, Platinum, Riley, Lexi (OOC: Depending on what month Plat is born in, either she or Essylt is the eldest) Though they had only arrived fifteen minutes earlier, the inhabitants of Cabin 3 were largely finished unpacking already. This was largely thanks to the pushy attitude of one Lexi Aislin, who seemed to be trying to throw off her slacker reputation by making everyone in the cabin work as hard as they could. Having worn herself out five minutes earlier, she now lay on the floor doing nothing of use while the others finished shoving their things wherever they could fit them. The dressers were too small for clothes, so toiletries were tossed into those to be embarrassingly mixed up at a later point. Although bedding was provided, the beds still had to be made, which proved a challenge due to the lower clearance of the higher bunks. Some stuff went into the crappy lockers, but the most valuable items were kept on each person. A specific item stuck out among those that had been unpacked, Riley had brought a sword. She was actually rather infamous for carrying it around with her at school, no one was entirely certain what strings she had to pull to get a weapon allowed on school grounds and nobody really wanted to ask. Supposedly it held sentimental value, a family heirloom of some kind. Whatever her reason, Riley seemed innocent enough to keep it from being much of a threat, so it was easy enough to put out of mind. Cabin 2: Arturia, Sharp, Naya (OOC: Arturia is the eldest of these three) The story was much different in Cabin 2, where two of the inhabitants were adamantly opposed to doing any unpacking until they'd gotten at each other's throats. Naya, for whatever reason, was sitting on one of the lower bunks pouting because she didn't get whatever roommates she had been hoping. Sharp had given this attitude all of two seconds before telling her to get over it. The resulting argument had not been made with words, but rather angry glares. Eventually Naya had backed off, but now, in addition to her earlier attitude, she refused to do anything because Sharp was mean to her. And Sharp was being equally stubborn, refusing to do anything until Naya did. And unfortunately for Arturia, she was the eldest of the three, meaning it was her job to make certain they were unpacked and ready to go in time to get their schedules. If they weren't, she would be the one held responsible for the pair's mutual tantrum. So she either had to unpack all of their things herself or find some way to force the other two to help her, which was seeming like an unlikely outcome at this point. Cabin 6: Kaede, Alva, Haley, Cici (OOC: Unless Kaede's birthday is within the next couple weeks, which I have used my GM powers to decide it is not, Cici is the boss here) Cabin 6 was having a predicament of its own. Their cabin head had unpacked herself (it had taken her all of five minutes) and was now lounging on one of the upper bunks playing a video game. This wouldn't keep them from completing their chore, Kaede, Alva, and Haley would do fine dealing with their own items. The issue was how noisy, disruptive, and un-cabin-head-like she was being. Right now it was just a minor disruption in the form of angry muttering interrupted occasionally by angry yelling, but later of having such an irresponsible cabin head seemed likely to prove detrimental. Haley was clearly to nervous to say anything, what with jumping a little whenever Cici unleashed a burst of profanities, meaning it was up to Kaede or Alva to correct their supposed upperclassman's behavior. Staff Cabin 4: Arya Arya had been rather surprised when she was taken aside by a teacher upon exiting the bus and told she would be getting, "special accommodations." Such things were generally reserved for problem students. It wasn't like she had any choice in the matter, so she had followed as she was led to one of the staff cabins. The cabins for staff were a tad smaller than those for the students and possessed no vertical windows, only a small skylight placed just past the entrance. They had a single bunk bed in the back right with a pair of those frustratingly small single-drawer dressers next to it. Two lockers (notably more secure-looking than those provided to students) were placed near the door. And a pair of writing desks were set side-by-side against the left wall. With everything being paired, it was expected that she would have another delinquent as her roommate, but at the moment they seemed entirely absent. She noticed a folded note on the closer desk with her name written on the outside. She recognized the handwriting immediately, it seemed that for whatever reason the school's Mother had placed her in this room.

. Speak for yourself. I'm Psure I've put some rather uncomfortable stuff in there even just recently and certain I've doneso in the past.

Last minute sheet is accepted. She's gonna have a lovely time with such a positive outlook. Expect IC early tomorrow.
