POPULATION: 41 The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round, the wheels on the bus go round and round…until they suddenly stop. Just as quickly as the bus ride started, the sudden jolt of the bus hitting the brakes may disrupt you from your current activities (whatever those may be.) It’s hard to determine just how long you’ve been on this road trip, but some of you may be able to tell it’s been nearly forty-eight hours. Where could you have possibly been traveling? Worry not, dear travelers! Why, if you’ll wait one moment, the doors of the bus will gently open… …and the floors of the bus will tilt, spitting every single one of you out onto the ground with little warning before the doors slam closed and the bus begins to drive away. As you gather your wits and regain your bearings, the first thing you may notice is the very distinct scent of pine and the lingering scent of rain in the air. Beneath your feet, the words BUP STOP have been spray painted into the dirt and above you a large wooden sign proudly declares that you’ve arrived at your destination. Welcome to CAMP GATONINA. Well-maintained greenery surrounds the area with trees as far as the eye can see, and a dirt path seems to lead straight into camp. Fog looms in the distance, though perhaps that’s from the rainy weather. Come along, don't be shy. You’re welcomed here, after all! As you make your way forward, you’ll soon be greeted with the sound of a bright and almost cheerful voice that seems to be amplified somehow, gathering the attention of all. "Right this way, ladies and gentlemen. Your lovely hosts await!" A cloud of fog parts, and in the center of the path sits a three-tiered platform. Three figures stand on the platform before you, two of whom hold a white basket with depictions of the sun. Despite looking directly at them, it’s hard to make out the features of these three outside of their very unusual outfits. You’ll have plenty of time to explore the camp later, but for now it seems that the figure in the top hat has a megaphone in hand and an announcement to make. "That should be all of you. Let's not waste time, shall we? You'll need these sooner than later, I imagine." The figure with the top hat begins to call out names as the other two figures hold onto the basket, using their free hands to distribute small keys with different wooden keychains shaped like animals. When the final key is distributed, the megaphone is lifted once more as the figure without the basket gestures to the space around you. "Welcome to Camp Gatonina. We look forward to your stay." [ooc: for the sake of your mods, please choose only one NPC to speak to for now! Should we feel confident with our tagload, we may open this up to more tags later, but don't worry! There will be more opportunities to speak with them in the future... Please be sure to read all of the new information provided to you! In addition, please keep in mind that this is not the week zero mingle! A new mingle will go up tomorrow to officially begin the game, so please do not use this post to toplevel regarding the new locations! You may, however, PC to your hearts' content ♥]

[She's looking over the boarding passes, but...

When she gets to hers, she gasps, turns on her heel, and leaves. Goodbye! Nope! Not dealing with this! Nuh-uh!]

[okitactless]

Oh, you're old!

[YAMS]

[fishingforcompliments]

No! No, I am not!

[FLEEING]

[okitactless]

[OH BOY NOW THEY'RE RUNNING TOGETHER]

Eh, did you have swords? You did, right? Can you tell me about them? Are they still around? What are their names?

[fishingforcompliments]

[oh god he's following her RUNS FASTER]

I - I primarily use magic and lances when I fight, not swords! I am sorry!

[okitactless]

[Oh... lame

But it's not as bad as guns, so he's gonna KEEP FOLLOWING]

In the war, right? Is that why you slept for so long?

[fishingforcompliments]

Shhh! I ask that you keep quiet about that!

[it's out there for everyone to see flayn this isn't going to work]

[okitactless]

Why?

[She's trying her best, though]

[fishingforcompliments]

[inwardly screaming]

Because I asked you to...!

[okitactless]

Well, alright, but I think everyone else can read it too...

[flayn it's right there]

[fishingforcompliments]

Perhaps they will not notice!

[psychedelica]

... What are you?

[ NO ESCAPE ]

[fishingforcompliments]

Do not worry about it!

[RUNNING...]

[psychedelica]

Hey -- !!

[ well...... he has no reason to chase after her, so he lets her go, but. hm!! ]

[fishingforcompliments]

[she'll talk to him about it later probably she's just not used to being doxxed]

[machinetranslation]

Oh, they seem to have made an error with your age, Miss Flayn. If you'd like, I can attempt to contact the administrator to have it corrected.

[fishingforcompliments]

[still running away, but:]

—yes, please do that!

[machinetranslation]

[Shuffles after her as quick as his robo leggies can manage]

Wait, Miss Flayn! I shall need to know your correct age if I am to have them update it!

[fishingforcompliments]

[threepio is doing his best. flayn, unfortunately, is distracted with trying to escape, so she doesn't really think before she answers:]

Oh, around the same age as you, give or take!

[



there are enough teens here that it would have been applicable to almost anyone else who was asking her...]

[machinetranslation]

[There's no way he can keep up with her frantic sprinting, so he shuffles to a stop and ponders her answer before shaking his head and walking off towards the office to discuss the error.]

...The same age as me?
