[hr][hr] [h3][color=dc143c][b] 7:30 AM - Friday, June 13th 1980 - Lava Lake trailhead, BC, Canada[/b][/color][/h3] [hr] [@KazAlkemi][@Achronum][@kittyluna45][@Morose][@Trainerblue192] [hr] Dobbs shrugged a little. “I’m not the one deciding to try to open this place. The first time it was during the original construction. Mostly everything went fine until the last week of construction. The investors were getting antsy and added a night crew. Three men disappeared on the first night. By the fourth night, the crew refused to work there anymore, and almost half of the crew had disappeared. When they found the bodies, it was while digging the foundation for the last couple of planned cabins. Fifteen fresh bodies were buried together. Their deaths were all caused by blunt force trauma. “The second attempt was a decade or so later, the land had been sold in an auction sight unseen. The new owners didn’t look into what happened and got the campgrounds cleaned up and opened. The first deaths were a pair of campers. The counselor said they had gone to the bathroom and never came back. A search party was sent out, but they weren’t found. Not until more campers went missing. After several failures to find the missing kids parents showed up and took everyone home. The search parties stayed. They were smart and didn’t go searching at night. The original campers were found buried together. Both had died by blunt force trauma. “Now the camp has changed hands again. Despite warnings, the new owners are trying to get it up and running. They made the deal with the government because they want this to be a low-income camp option for kids. Hopefully, that answered some of your questions. As for where the money is coming from, don’t worry about it. That isn’t your problem. I’ll bring what I can. I do not promise you’ll get a certain brand or anything like that. The nearest town doesn’t have a lot of options. There are supplies there already; you’re not going to be scrubbing blood out of the floorboards or anything. I’ve done a few runs of supplies already, so you have fresh wood, nails, and cleaning supplies.” Dobbs didn’t slow down the whole time he was talking.

She absolutely was looking forward to this now. She figured Dobbs’ story was to scare them. There wasn’t going to be any supervision, as far as she could tell. Dobbs had said that he wasn’t staying there. She didn’t particularly care for the conversation. Em didn’t necessarily believe anything Dobbs was saying, at least in regards to this Elias character. Bad luck caused stories, and nothing he had mentioned had included some supernatural being from beyond. The campers could have been a local psycho or a bear. She couldn’t explain everyone being buried, but maybe the bear had put them there for later. Of the group, there were three that Emily didn’t know. No one had introduced themselves yet. She decided she'd introduce herself once Dobbs had left them alone. Dobbs hadn’t even done more than a headcount. He seemed to have little to no fucks given in this situation. [color=2B9311]”How much manual labor are we expected to do? You said a week between now and when the kids arrive. We’re supposed to clean and repair everything? Alone?”[/color] She didn’t think Aster knew how to do manual labor. The others she couldn’t judge. It wasn’t like she knew how to do electrical work or anything. “There are some repairs needed. I’ll be here during the day and doing the tradeswork. You lot can work on cleaning, helping prep the grounds, and making sure everything is in working order. If you find a faucet that doesn’t turn on let me know. I hope you’re smart enough to figure out what you can and can’t do without me. Though these questions make me think I might be overestimating a group of delinquents."
