"Since we are all here we have decided that it is best to move on to our next activity." The counselors said together. They wanted to encourage friendships and growth. Most of these kids had no one to connect with and needed all the support they could get once they returned to the real world. They hoped that this camp would build those connections. "We would like you to pair up with you haven't interacted with. We are going to start arts and crafts."

Cecilia was quite embarrassed that she had to be told by James that he didn't own a phone, feeling that it would have been quite obvious if she had thought about it a little. She was feeling slightly conflicted about giving her number before she ultimately decided to make an exception for him, but she wasn't thinking clearly at the moment. "Oh, n-no...? James, not having a cell phone is nothing to be ashamed of. And I want to give you my number," she said, her hand moving onto his this time. "I'll make sure to write it down for you when I get the chance, okay?" She smile warmly, hoping to console him as best she could. Before she could say anything else, the counselors chimed in, announcing the next activity. Cecilia was somewhat relieved to hear this, but knew they had to get down to ground level before anything else. "I guess we should get moving," she stated in mild hesitation, wanting to get up herself. But to her dismay, one of her legs wasn't quite ready to lift her up and, with a slight gasp, she began to falter to the ground.

James would nod and smile softly when he heard Cecilia's words, though not expecting her to be disappointed but not happy with himself that he didn't have one. Sighing softly and looking to the counselors as they talked about the next activity, something for Neric as they have to interact with another. Not that James minds, but hopefully they stick around longer then the first campers. Most of the first campers anyway. Smiling and slowly getting up along with Cecilia, quickly moving to catch her before she falls down. Helping her stand as he bites his lip. "Are you sure you are ok...?" A bit worried now if she did break something or such. If she can walk on her own he would let her, otherwise walk with her towards the bottom. Taking short steps to make sure he isn't rushing her, Neric walking along her other side to make sure he could catch her as well if she gave out again. James's arm around her mid section, letting her arm rest on his shoulders. Not trying to make her feel uncomfortable, but he wouldn't know himself if she was in this positioning and state.

Ivory was curious about this summer camp she has heard about. She was now standing at the entrance of the summer camp. She quietly looked around. There was nobody there. Where was everyone? She decided to go explore further; maybe there was another part of camp everyone was in? Entering a rather peaceful area, she heard voices. Carefully, she wondered toward the voices.

Cecilia was very grateful despite her fairly obvious embarrassment. "I-I'm alright. I guess the climb just took more out of me than I thought..." she spoke softly, offering a fairly accurate explanation overall. "S-Sorry, James. I didn't mean to make you worry like that," she timidly relented, letting James help her down the cliffs to meet with everyone. The sensation of his arm around her made her fall silent. Although she didn't want it to feel as if she was taking advantage of him, it did feel really nice. "Um, James? I forgot to say before but... thanks for helping me out. You too Neric. Thank you both so much," she said, looking gratfully to the void at her side before tilting her head closer to James till she just about rested on his shoulder. She felt as though she needed to say more, but she couldn't think up the exact words at the moment. As the three of them approached ground level, Cecilia quietly spoke up once again, more lively this time. "Um, I think I can make it the rest of the way on my own, if that's alright?"

Ivy saw another new arrival. It looked like several people had gotten lost on their way here. She was just glad that they had found their way.she hurried over to the new girl forgetting about the one she had just greeted
She bounce around the girl excitedly. "HELLO! YOU'RE LATE! DID YOU GET LOST? MY NAME IS IVY! MY BROTHER BROUGHT ME TO CAMP! DID YOU COME WITH ANYONE? I CAN CONTROL FIRE WHAT CAN YOU DO?"

[deerling]

@KatherinWinter
Ivory let out a squeak, surprised by Ivy's sudden appearance. "M-
My name is Ivory. I-I have the power to grow plants..." Ivory introduced herself to Ivy. She took a deep breath, still shyly standing there. "U- Um, is this Camp C-Castaway..?" Ivory asked Ivy.

All James could do was listen as Cecilia explained herself, smiling softly as they walked along. Though as she spoke he couldn't help but acknowledge his arm around her as it is, a tad bit embarassed himself. Never being this close to a girl let alone having his arm around one. Looking to her as she finished, chuckling softly. "It's quite alright, you took a nasty hit from the wall. And ya I am worried, I just hope you didn't break anything..." Not making it sound like it was an issue, though curious if it came out right he would speak up shirtly after. "I mean I care..." Looking to the Void as he walked along with Cecilia, rather happy that the two of them like eachother. Seems she got used to him being around. The Void looking up before quickly rubbing against her leg with his cat form before continuing one. Walking with her down the path, hoping she wasn't too uncomfortable with his arm. But just as they were getting closer, he would hear her words about walking on her own. As much as it felt nice, he was guessing she was uncomfortable. Nodding as he slowly starts to let go of her, just to make sure that if she starts to fall he would catch her. "Oh, ya. Sorry about that..." He would say with a soft chuckle, offering his hand to her as he made his way towards the group. Thinking about the art activity coming up next, smiling softly and sighing contently. This will be much calmer then the climbing. Stopping with Cecilia as they make it to the group to wait for what was next.

Eldrich lookied around from his perch and flew back down. He landed next to the counslers, towering over them when standing straight up.
"Does Thy mind if this morph stays in form?" He said with a stony cackle.

The counselors frowned. No one seemed to be paying them any attention to them. They needed the teens to pay attention. They needed the teens to pay attention. They were responsible for these young lives. They want to help them grow. The teens needed to be able to blend in and control their powers. They range the bell again. "We need your attention."

[deerling]

@KatherinWinter
Ivory looked past Ivy toward thue counselors, blinking. She tapped Ivy on the shoulder, and quietly pointed toward the counselors. "Who are they..?" She asked Ivy.

[Dealdric]

@KatherinWinter
"Thou have our undieing attention, masters of the camp" Eldrich said through Neemious while shifting in place to show respect. They have a strong way of grabbing your attention apparently Neemious snickered inside his head. Shut thy harsh and pungent lips Eldrich retortd at his host.

[CajunRobinHood]

Juan frowns as the young girl that had approached him immediately leaves without so much as a goodbye. As the tolling of a bell rings through the campgrounds, Juan shakes his head and walks toward the sound where he is greeted by the sight of a group of people speaking in unison. "Are you the ones in charge?" he asks hopefully.

Cecilia smiled gratefully at James, taking his hand for the remaining steps it took to rejoin the group. She was feeling better since the climb and, aside from probably wanting to stop by a medical room to pick up an ice pack and so forth, she'd imagine that she'd only feel better with time. On their way to the bottom, she passively looked up to the cliff faces once again, wondering if she should consider giving the last two legs another go on her own time. Perhaps, but for now, she was more looking forward to some relatively relaxing activities until then. With the ring of a bell, the counselors beckoned for everyone's attention. It sounded earlier like they wanted to start arts and crafts with everyone paired off with someone new. Was that still the plan? Should she herself go ahead and search for someone willing to work with her? Cecilia was a tad puzzled and James might have been able to see that if he looked to her. For now though, she decided to wait a little bit, wanting to hear what the twins wanted to say before doing anything else.

"You may stay in whatever form is most comfortable to you gargoyle. It make no difference to us." The counselors answered together. "We know you are all excited about meeting others like you. For many of you this is the first time you have met others like yourselves. We want to encourage you to build friendships. But it is also import that we teach you to control your powers and blend in. We have many activities in mind to help you achieve these three goals. If you haven't been assigned a cabin please stand to the right. Those of you who have cabins to the left. We will get everyone settled first. While we are doing that please think about what things you would like to do this summer. Once everyone is settled we will start arts and crafts. We would like for you to pair up with someone you haven't interacted with yet."

"Who are they..?" She asked Ivy.

@deerling

"THOSE ARE THE COUNSELORS! THEY ARE IN CHARGE! THEIR KIND OF STRANGE.
THEY MOVE AND TALK IN UNISON! THEY WILL GIVE YOU A CABIN TO STAY IN AND THEN YOU CAN JOIN US FOR THE NEXT ACTIVITY!" Ivy answered.

@KatherinWinter

Eldrich and Neemious walked to the right. Well, guess we can stay as a scary monster Why is though such a coward at times? they argued in their head. Eldrich let Neemious have a little more control than previously, but still not over verbally.

Madalynn woke up with a start. It was a big day if only she could remember what it was.

"Oh no it was meant to be camp today!"

She was almost about to fall out of the tree. She already knew she was late and how on earth would she know how to get to the bus stop.

Thumper called out to her saying "The map!"

Oh of course she should have thought of that herself but she was in such a rush, she could just read the map out loud and it would show her the way!

"Thanks Thumper!"

"You're welcome!, but come on we have to rush so that we can get some berries to eat on the way!"

"That will be no problem my friend, just one more book, oh there it is!"

She stuffed the last book into her bag and things like her, spyglass, water container and her special blanket, who knew how cold it was at the camp.
She jumped down with the map next down to Thumper and started to read the map out loud, as she read the map blue crystals popped out that only her and Thumper could see.

Thumper started hopping away when Madalynn shouted out "Wait for me!"

She started running after thumper picking blueberries and other berries along the way and stuffing them in her rucksack.
When she got to the bus stop, luck was with her a bus just arrived, she showed the bus driver her ticket and quickly picked up Thumper.

She quickly blurted out "I'm sorry I'm late!"

The bus driver nodded his head and pointed to a seat.
She rushed to the seat and sat down.
Her and Thumper quickly ate all the berries and Madalynn took a gulp of refreshing water.
They soon arrived at camp but didn't see anyone there which was curious, she didn't know she was that late.

Madalynn asked the bus driver "Where are they?"

The bus driver smiled and replied "Just walk north and you will see them, and have a good day"

She quickly shouted "Thank you!"as the bus driver drove off.

She put Thumper on the ground and he sped north, he didn't like not being able to run around, he wasnt used to it.

"Wait up Thumper, I'm exhausted"

She quickly caught her breath and ran after Thumper.
Thumper found the others first and was rolling around on the grass.
When Madalynn caught up her face was beaming she loved grass and anything green. She was very nervous though to meet the others. She laughed at Thumper because she knew he was trying to pretend to be a normal bunny because he didnt trust very easily.

"Well Thumper, this is it!"

Ivory nodded, quietly moving to the right. What else did they say? Pair up with someone you haven't interacted with? How would Ivory do that? She glanced around nervously. She rather waited for someone to talk to her. She already interacted with Ivy, but she imagined Ivy already had a friend to hang out with.

[Mangrale]

@KatherinWinter@LiegeLord
Cecilia nodded in agreement at the twins' advisement. It also made sense that cabins be reassigned before everyone moves on to the next activity. She wanted to hold out hope just a little while longer, but it would likely turn out that her cabin will have room for another person. "I guess we should go to the left then, before finding a partner for the next activity," she said, turning her head to James. Along with James should he want to, she'll head to the left, unclear on who she should approach afterwards. She knew James, Neric, Ivy and Kyle. Everyone else was likely to be new to camp. Perhaps she should go with anyone who's left without a partner after almost everyone else has chosen.

[LiegeLord]

@Mangrale@KatherinWinter

Walking along with Cecilia as he listened to the twin's announcement, although he had a cabin it may have a spot open now that some of the others had left. Curious who may be taking up a spot in the cabin with him, though no one may be assigned to the cabin with him. Looking to Cecilia as she spoke and nods. "Ya, I'm curious who's going to be going where." Gently squeezing her hand as he walked with her to the left side, but knowing he and Cecilia are maybe the only ones left from the original group they may be the only ones that have cabins. Neric walking along side them, the Void looking over most of the newer campers. His dark cloud trailing behind him as he trots along on his four, cat legs. Neric standing at Cecilia's other side as James stood with her. His nervousness apperent to the both of them, both about the new roommate and who he'll be doing the next activity with.
