Day One.

Camp Wyaconda, on the shores of Shady Lake. Tall Red Pines, a carpet of soft needles underfoot. For about half the summer, a family camp (picture shuffleboard, paddle tennis -- which is not ping pong, no matter what Megs fibbed to me, central dining hall, craft hall, tuck shop, and lots of activities.) The other half of the summer, a sleep-away camp for tweens (think... well, the same, but without the families.) A little over a hundred kids from all over, rammed together in bunkies. Some for a week, others for two months. The inscription on the JP hut says Wyaconda originated as a Boy-scout camp in the late 'teens. Lots of pictures of happy kids holding canoe paddles on the dining hall wall.

The sort of place that forges fast friendships, and "builds character." (My Dad's words. Not mine.)

Checklist:
-get my 'red lanyard' (a piece of gimp that one could wear as a necklace -- but which I think I'll wear as an anklet!) which denotes the ability of swim unsupervised off the 'big dock.'
-learn to windsurf. ('yeah, right,' says Megs.)
-stay up all night.
-come home with at least four new skills. (Mom's idea, but not a bad one.)
-make a friend.

My schedule has been twirled around. Working on my character and will post tonight or tomorrow!

OK. Well. I wasn't told I'm not in, so I'll get to work on a CS soon and you can just tell me if I should stop.

I can't tell you nothin' from noplace, no-how. I'm only nine-and-three-quarters.

I just aged JJ up to 10 (11 in September!!) … Try as I might to emulate a nine year-old, I feel like I would be asking the character to be more mature than is possible.

… One year makes all the difference in the world, right?

Well I'm almost done so I posted what I got so far.
Of course after spending an hour trying to find an image for "a young boy" I'm probably on a list now.

Loving everyone’s characters! Artwork, too! (Arya, you must have some crazy-good AI prompts to generate something that awesome.)

@deegee I made a map of the camp if you want to see it. I never went to an actual “summer camp” like this. Super excited to say the least.

Love it, Arya! I have som fairly specific ideas… was going to use Inkarnate to make us a map, but I want to see what you’ve got! (I may have notes!)

@deegeeI’ll hit you up on discord with it.

Dang, Arya… I’m gonna have to “re-like “your character sheet. I’m always wild by your ability to format. Not something that’s in my skillset.

Looks like we are just waiting on Ducky’s character before we crank this thing up

Approved by Dee... Welcome to Camp!

I feel like I need to redo and reformat my whole CS after seeing Arya’s update. Amazing … when will you give us lessons on formatting and Ai work?

I also figured, one of us needs to be some type of counselor. Don't worry... I will be the "cool" one.

No longer may we be made to wait, no longer do we sit and bide time while The Duckman puts precious time into character creation. Now, we liiiiiive!

first post is up. It's middling, but it sets a scene. Happy T'urdsday everyone!

Will try to get Max's intro post put either today or tomorrow, back pain and work be back pain and working.

*Linda Belcher voice* Oh this is working, this is wooorking.

Fixed my accidental second post in the char tab to show Max's current skateboard in case anyone is curious :)

How is everyone today?
