[hr][hr] [h3][color=dc143c][b] 7:45 AM - Friday, June 13th 1980 - Lava Lake trail, BC, Canada[/b][/color][/h3] [hr] [@KazAlkemi][@Achronum][@kittyluna45][@Morose][@Trainerblue192] [hr] For the second time this hike Dobbs paused. He stared at Demetri. The look on his face was one of astonishment. As if he had just heard the stupidest thing ever, which was likely considering what Demetri had said. “Do you have rocks for brains,” Dobbs asked? “If you want to mix bleach and ammonia do me a favor and do it when I am not nominally in charge of you.” He sighed, shook his head and started walking again. “The buildings are not in complete disrepair as all of that. But do what you want as long as you’re putting in actual work. I don’t want you to give me a list of things every day. I want to see you doing actual work. “I’ve been here the last few weeks getting the electrical work up to code, and removing any rotted sections of flooring and ceiling I found. As for blood in the cabins I haven’t seen any. Honestly, I haven’t seen any sign of anything that fits these stories. I don’t think there is any Elias. There is proof that the kids disappeared, but in all honesty they probably were just being dumb. I haven’t seen any proof about the construction workers. Not even proof that there had been a night crew.” Dobbs shrugged a little. “As for sleeping, there is only one cabin I think you can currently occupy. Most of the others don’t have beds. If you all want individual cabins feel free to move the beds around. Or if you all want to share the same bed together I don’t give a shit. You’re legally adults. My responsibility for you starts and ends with making sure the camp is ready at the end of next week. I will report to the RCMP if you were little shits or if you did a good enough job for your plea deals.” Dobbs did not seem to notice or care about any of the bandanas or obvious relationship things happening. “First aid and food are both available in the main building. It has an industrial kitchen that's mostly stocked at this point. I’ve been hauling stuff up here for weeks to get it to this point. We should have some extra hands in a couple of days to help with some of the last things. The big food haul for when the campers is scheduled for Wednesday. But I’ve brought up enough food to last you the week and then some. You should have plenty to work with. If there is a big enough medical emergency there is a ham radio. Instructions are near the station. I can walk you through it if you want before I leave for the night.” [hr][hr] [center][h1][color=2B9311]Emily[/color][/h1] [img]https://i.imgur.com/ZcwZwWn.jpeg[/img] [hr] [color=2B9311]Location[/color]: Camp Lava Lake Trail [color=2B9311]Skills[/color]: Hiking [/center] [hr][hr] Em squeezed Marco’s hand. Knowing Dobbs’ attitude toward them was upsetting him. She was also upset by Dobbs. He was sort of an ass. First, giving them the campfire ghost story and then refuting it in the next breath practically. He seemed more irritated that he had to deal with them than happy to have help. Em didn’t know the other girl’s name but she agreed with the sentiment. Dobbs either actually believed about the Elias story, and was now backing down from that. Or he had told them the story just to freak them out. [color=2B9311]”Why the fuck tell us that story then?”[/color] She snapped. Dobbs shook his head. “You asked. You said you wanted to be prepared.” [color=2B9311]”Then be normal. Tell us some kids went missing. Or something, not some ghost story.”[/color] “Look, I do not care if you’re out at midnight dancing naked in the lake or whatever. If you die though because you do some dumb shit in an area you don’t know in the dark. I have to answer for it. I can’t be here overnight to babysit you lot. I don’t want to babysit you. The fact that I was sent barely not-children to do this job sort of pisses me off. I should have been given a crew of competent tradesmen. So if I have to tell you a story that’ll keep you from wandering off in the middle of the night when I can’t be here then I will. Just do the job, keep yourselves safe, and in a couple of weeks you’ll be home looking back at this as just some shitty summer job. Hell you might even learn something here that you can put on your resume.”
