[color=lightgray][indent]Today had felt a little surreal for Alexandra. In the past, she'd been the one on the bus, but today she was the one waiting for the kids to step off of a bus. Could they even be considered kids? Alexandra was almost certain that the people on the bus were more teenagers if anything. But, regardless of age, they were going to be Alexandra and her fellow counselors' responsibility for the next few weeks. Second Horizons didn't fuck around when it came to this sort of stuff, and that was something Alexandra didn't mind whatsoever. It was like finding out a forbidden secret, figuring out what made Second Horizons the enjoyable experience that it was and why it was that way.

There was a lot of training to be had for sure. There was some of the usual shit, like CPR and first-aid. Nothing surprising, everyone in the same position as the Second Horizons staff should heed the same training. But, the further she got into her training the more she really realized just how much work went into making the camp what it was. As a younger girl, Alexandra had nothing but fond memories of camps like this as she grew up. Her parents thought it'd be a great way for Alexandra to spend her time and exude her seemingly boundless energy at the time. It worked, to an extent. Alexandra was always a little tough to contain in her earlier years.

Standing in the arrival area, Alexandra was also feeling a mix of excitement and anxiety. The two often went hand in hand these days, but Alexandra figured she could channel that anxious, nervous energy into something that would hopefully make her kids'  experience much better. Even today, Alexandra didn't have a very clear idea as to how she was going to conduct herself. The counselors she appreciated the most growing up were often the really chill ones, the ones that were okay with her and her fellow campers doing god knew what just as long as they were careful about it. A lot of memories were made when her counselors let her do stuff like that, and she would always appreciate it.

On the other hand, she also had to be careful. There were a lot of things that could happen in an environment like this, and being [i]too[/i] relaxed could spell danger. Especially in the winter, where it was hypothermia galore and snow as far as the eye could see. Alexandra expected some interactions with nature at some point, that was inevitable. She had to make sure that these kids weren't gonna get hurt or do anything [i]too[/i] stupid, because only god knew what was going to happen if she let one of her campers get hurt under her watch. Just the sheer thought made Alexandra shudder -- or was that the Washington cold?

Regardless, that was something she could figure out soon. Now was showtime, as the bus stopped in their designated drop-off point for the campers. The counselor took a deep breath as she got ready to meet the kids. Alexandra was assigned the very cool Howling Wolf Cabin, and she was dressed in a blue shirt with their very sweet logo plastered all over it. It was hard to miss, especially compared to the other cabins' colors. Hopefully Fiona had the same idea -- because Alexandra wasn't sure whether or not these kids were going to need some help finding their cabins.

As the kids poured out, Alexandra put her hand on her hip and took a sip of her coffee, before taking a deep breath. [color=8ee5ee]"It's showtime."[/color] She said to herself, before stepping towards the pack of kids gathering.[/indent][/color]
