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 ♥]

[ he turns to literally anyone else who may be wandering around: ]

I ain't the only one seeing this, right? Hello?

[chaoticlootral]

When someone is having a psychotic break, you have to acknowledge their delusions. Such as the one where he thinks that looks good.

[haw]

For a second I thought you were sayin' I was the one losin' it, and to be honest, I was fully ready to believe ya.

[chaoticlootral]

Well, you know what they say about he who smelt it . . . . . .

[haw]

Haw?

I thought big guy over there—[ jerks his thumb over at magnus ]—was my shittalkin' buddy.

[wowcool]

Huh? [He looks a little sad.] It's a good coat though...

[chaoticlootral]

Oh, baby, it's really not.

[wowcool]

I like it, though. It was given to me as part of my official look as a brilliant detective, so it's not like I can't wear it...

[chaoticlootral]

[i have really bad news for anaido and its that the horny bois have zeroed in on him as a bully target and now both dedicated to roasting the life out of him]

Like, an official posting as an undercover cop in a clown school? For clowns?

[wowcool]

[That actually makes him laugh.]

Hahaha, no, I don't think so. I don't even know any juggling tricks!

[ruffboi]

Yeah, no, this guy's the bad guy.

[wowcool]

[???]

Because of what I'm wearing? I don't understand...

[ruffboi]

They don't waste coats that fucked up on random NPCs! I don't know what to tell you!

[wowcool]

This is my official uniform as a brilliant detective, though...I mean, the other detectives wear similar stuff. The man I knew had this huge yellow scarf and all...

[magnus why are you mean he loves his coat :(]

[ruffboi]

Oh, that's tough. Did you ask them if you could get an official uniform that doesn't suck?

[wowcool]

[He's furrowing his eyebrows, frowning with some confusion.]

I...I don't think that's possible...

[overruns]

[ as an aside: ] I think it looks fine, Anaido.

[ you guys are just mean... ]

[wowcool]

Aw, brother!! [He's grinning like a loon.] I know you have good taste!

1/2

[haw]

Thank you for the validation.

[haw]

—Oh man did you see the shitters they got here? Privacy. And plumbing!

[ruffboi]

Yeah! Not bad, not bad!

[I'm glad they can still bond over pooping.]

I took a look in there. Seems peaceful.

[haw]

[ look man... clothes are whatever... pooping is eternal 💩 ]

It's a silver lining atop the whole other pile of shit we gotta deal with whenever this new round pops off.
