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 ♥]

[Looking at his profile, mildly put out.]

Ugh, indiscriminate killing again? I'm never gonna shed this serial killer reputation.

[wowcool]

Hm. That sure is a suspicious profile, Mr. Serial Killer.

[is he going to let this go? no]

[ruffboi]

I'm not a serial killer! I'm lawful good!

[wowcool]

And yet you murder people? Is that the definition of lawful good?

[ruffboi]

I don't murder them, I kill them in self-defense or sometimes by accident.

[Geez!!!]

Maybe you're the serial killer!

[wowcool]

[He's taken back.]

Why would I be a serial killer? I'm a brilliant detective.

[THAT WOULD BE LIKE. THE OPPOSITE OF HIS JOB?? SIR??????]

[ruffboi]

Eh! I've met better. Besides, being a detective would be a great cover for a serial killer.

[wowcool]

You think so? [And he laughs.] Perhaps! That would be a good twist in a mystery story. Ah, but seriously, I wouldn't be a brilliant detective anymore if I was a murderer. I'd have to say "no, thanks" to that.

[ruffboi]

Well, you gotta do what you love! But if you accuse me wrongfully of being a serial killer, you're also not much of a brilliant detective!

[axilium]

A serial killer reputation sure is something.

[ruffboi]

It's not my fault, it's the fault of that doofus who's horny for sex demons.

[axilium]

Uh...?

[he points to anaido?]

[wowcool]

[He waves from where he's being pointed to with no understanding of why someone is pointing at him.]

[axilium]

[belph waves back.]

[survivaltricks]

You should start making flower crowns. That might soften everyone's perceptions of you a bit.

[ruffboi]

Good idea! Want one?

[survivaltricks]

Absolutely, I do.

[said with the STRAIGHTEST OF FACES]

[wisterin]

My, won't you explain it for me, then?

[ She's curious. ]

[ruffboi]

Sure thing. Listen, I'm actually kind of a folk hero? I run around defending the defenseless and stopping people from destroying the world with powerful magical artifacts and defending my friends from harm. When you make a heroic protection omelette, sometimes you gotta break a few eggs.

[wisterin]

[ A... heroic protection omelette. ]

Heroic is indiscriminate when it comes to defending people but not when it comes to killing. I suppose I'd like to know if you know how to tell rotten eggs from perfectly fine ones.

[ruffboi]

That's why I think indiscriminate is completely unfair! I'm very discriminate. I don't go around hurting innocent people! [On purpose.]

[wisterin]

If that's true, did you think C3PO-san wasn't innocent?

[ruffboi]

I didn't kill him! [Here we go.] I just took his arm! And I gave it back!

[wisterin]

That's a fair point.

[ He's technically not wrong. ]

I'm glad you gave it back, but it seems you like to do that often to robots, if your pass is telling the truth about that.

[ruffboi]

True! I definitely do! But my pass doesn't mention that I've also been good friends with robots who still have their arms. I can change.
