Kaeden stiffened when the other boy stood up from the table. 'Say hi, say hello, SAY SOMETHING KAEDEN' he walked right by him. Kaeden had the most appalled look on him as he watched the guy just walk away towards the cabin without even looking at him '..... This son of a bit-' the boy suddenly lost his footing and fell forward landing flat on his face, several pieces of paper scattering on the dirt.

'...' That was unexpected. Kaeden awkwardly creeped next to him. "Uh... are... are you uh... okay?" he looked down at the kid, not really sure if he should lend a hand and just decided to pick up the pieces of paper. He took a close look at one of them. 'Drawings?'

[Blueflame]

@Varicke"y-yeah........ I'm just gonna lay here.... for a bit." Max says as he realized his drawing flew out every where. He sprang up, and began collecting them, as he counted them Max realized one was missing. He began to search the grass for it. Only to look up at the person to ask if he was ok to see it was in his hand. It was a picture of a cardinal that Max just drew so it was only a basic outline. "U-um c-can I have t-that back please?" Max said stuttering over his words as he didn't want anyone to see his art.

@Blueflame

"U-um c-can I have t-that back please?"

Kaeden didn't catch what he said but looked up from the cardinal sketch to see he was looking at him. "Hm?" he looked back at the drawing. "...OH! O-h, I'm sorry, I- Uh, here." He frantically handed the paper back. "S-sorry, it w- Uh,- it's good. A... good drawing." he cleared his throat trying to make a proper sentence. "It's a good drawing." he scratched the back of his neck awkwardly, tail idly curling around his waist nervously. He mumbled quietly to himself "I... use to draw too..."

[Blueflame]

@Varicke
"R-really? Why did you stop?" Max asked as he quickly put the drawing back into his artbook. "wait are you new too?" wondering if he was the person the councilors wee talking to. Max took his glasses off and cleaned them on his shirt after seeing if they where alright.

@Blueflame

"W-well I... kinda... got discouraged. I don't really like to talk about it, heh." it was so weird having a normal conversation with someone. He hasn't been able to do this in, well, two years?

"Yeah, I kinda just, dropped in. If I'm not mistaken, I'll be the one bunking with you in the Squirrel Cabin. Frankly I don't like squirrels very much, I think they're a little nuts." Kaeden immediately looked away in utter terror. 'OH MY GOD, REALLY!? THAT WAS THE CRINGIEST THING I'VE EVER SAID, NEVER SPEAK AGAIN KAEDEN!'

[Blueflame]

@Varicke"wow.... I would be lion if I said that wasn't terrible" Max said smiling as he held out his hand for him too shake. "I'm max anyway"(sorry short post cant think)

[Varicke]

@Blueflame

Kaeden nervously chuckled. He flinched when a hand was held out to him. His gaze flicked between the hand and the boy a couple times before he awkwardly shook it. "I- My name is Kaeden. You don't seem all bad, haha."

Ivory nodded to Cecilia. She quietly watched her, keeping her head tilted. "Is i-it fun?" Ivory asked her. "T-traveling, I mean." She specificed. Ivory didn't travel a lot. She was always helping her mother in the garden or taking care of the bunnies. Ivory shifted her arm and learned against it. She played with a little plant that was at the middle of the table. She carefully ran her fingers over it. Her eyes grew wide when she realized she grow. She took her hand away immediantly, focusing her attention back on Cecilia.

Soon enough, Neric would find his way over to the two girls drawing. Humming softly as he wandered over and looked at them. Thinking to himself before gently rubbing up against Cecilia's leg and Ivorys trying to get their attention. Both to say hi to Cecilia and to ask his question. Once he got their atgention, he would sit down next to the table within sight of the two. "Pardon me ladies, I was just passing by and was curious if either of you had a phone or music device that I could borrow? I was hoping to listen to some music and hopefully be inspired for what to make. I of course promise to make sure to bring in back in one piece."

[deerling]

@LiegeLord
Ivory jumped a little when she heard the voice, looking down at Neric. She blinked, before nodding quietly. Ivory got out her phone, that had a case colored pastel green with a black rose on it. She passed it down to Neric. "H-here, you can b-barrow mine." Ivory told Neric. She never seen him before, but he seemed like he wouldn't steal it. Certainly a different character. She thought quietly.

[Blueflame]

@Varicke"Nor do you Kaeden, well I'm gonna go put my bags up ok" Max said as he turned around to go to the cabin to set his stuff down. As he got to the door he found it unlocked so he just went in and set his bags down.

@deerling

The little Void would look to Ivory, walking over to her. "Why thank you, I will make sure to bring it back in one piece and even clean it out. You wouldn't imagine the dust and gunk that gets into the tight parts and under the phone casing itself... Looking up at her as she hands the phone to him, but the black cloud of a cat wouldn't grab it. Instead part of the black cloud around it would form a tendril that would carefully wrap aeound the phone and grip it firmly to not drop the device. "I also promise to only use it for music, nothing else. I will return it before lunch or during depending on if i can find you beforehand. Thank you again." Purring softly as he walks over to Cecilia, the tendril holding the phone carefully as the cat rubbed against her leg. Trying to see if she pet him or give him a little scratch on the head before walking off to a further away desk to get himself ready. Gently setting the phone down on the desk as the cat gets consumed by the cloud. Taking on a smaller version of the crocodile with arms as it gets a canvas ready on a stand, seperate tendrils gathering coloring tools, paints, pencils and other art supplies. Him humming softly before looking at the phone, gently tapping his finger on the device. Going through Youtube looking for what he wants. "Technology anymore... it's nice but also has its downfalls..."

The counselors had paired up everyone but Charlotte. They had an odd number of campers. But that probably wouldn't last long. The camp kept growing and changing depending on the needs of the teens. "Charlotte we are afraid you are alone for now. But we assure you that wont last long. You are in the blue bird room. We will start lunch. After that we have something that will help you learn to control your powers."

Cecilia was relieved when Ivory didn't seem to mind her little flip-book project. She was beginning to think that she should have asked her if she even liked flip-books before going ahead with it. "Fun? It is. A lot of the time it is. Not that I wouldn't like to stay in one place from time to time," she mentioned, finding herself remotely looking at the plant before resuming her work.

@LiegeLord
"Hmm?" she uttered, finding Neric had come to see them. "Hey Neric," she greeted, petting him softly on his head and back after he received the phone from Ivory. After a few playful scratches to his chin, Neric departed, leaving Cecilia to finish up her work.

Cecilia grew more and more silent as she neared completion, sighing in relief that she had finished on time, though she looked uneasy as she held the flip-book in her hand. She hadn't shown any of her sketches to anyone in the past, and this wouldn't be her first choice to start off with. "I-I think I'm done, for now anyway. I'm sorry for not coloring it. Would you like to see?" she sincerely offered. If Ivory accepted, Cecilia would tentatively hand the pack of small papers to her. Holding the top pages with her thumb, the bottom picture would show a lone girl in the middle of a forest clearing, very obviously a small drawing of Ivory. As the pages are flipped over another, there is an illusion of motion. The girl wouldn't move from her spot, but would smile and wave. At the same time, forest animals of different kinds and sizes would emerge from around the clearing and make their way to the girls side: a bear, a family of deer, squirrels, two birds that would perch themselves on her head and shoulder, and of course, three bunnies at her feet. The last page at the top of the stack had Ivory and her family of animals all together and appearing as though they were in a group picture.

"I used to love these when I was a kid. But maybe I should have asked you about making this first. You don't have to keep it if you don't want it," Cecilia said, politely offering to take it back. She was ready for a flood of critiques and perhaps rejection, as most like her would be in this situation.

@Mangrale
(low muse, i'm really sorry!)
Ivory looked back at Cecilia. She listened quietly. She smiled, "Y-yeah! I wanna s-see it!" Ivory told her. "They're moving to her! T-that's so cool! A-Aw! L-look at the b-bunnies!" Ivory was giggling happily as she watched the animals move and end shortly. Ivory smiled widely. "T-that's amazing, CC! Unfortunately, a-all I have i-is this drawing." She told Cecilia, showing her the drawing. She held it in front of her face, shyly showing it. "I-I don't like it, b-but i'll be h-happy if you do." She told Cecilia.

[Mangrale]

@deerling
Cecilia was overjoyed to see Ivory enjoy the flip-book, a wide and grateful smile on her face. She felt compelled to think of a fault to point out in the little book, but didn't want to spoil the moment. "I'm glad you enjoyed it! Hm?" Her eyes immediately drew to Ivory's picture. "Whoa, that's awesome! I wish I could draw like that! And I just love the scenery!" Cecilia playfully came a little closer to try and see Ivory behind the drawing. "You have to teach me sometime," she giggled.

The bus bringing new kids arrived. With one new kid... As he stepped off the bus, looking at the entrance, he had no idea who to talk to or how to introduce himself. He eventually mustered the ability to walk in, as ironic as it sounds. He had absolutely no idea what to do, but he looked for someone to introduce himself to.

[deerling]

@Mangrale
Ivory giggled more. "I-I'd be happy to t-teach you! I-I'm glad you like i-it." Ivory giggled shyly. She gave her the drawing. "I-I want y-you to have it. Y-you're really nice a-and you deserve i-it." She told Cecilia, smiling at her. She really did deserve it. She quietly looked up at Cecilia. "M-Maybe I could teach you d-during lunch? I mean u-unless you have friends y-you wanna hang out w-with, I could g-go find Ivy or s-someone to talk to, I I-imagine you do because r-really you're a nice p-person and y-you seem like you'd have a-a lot of friends..." Ivory shyly rambled to Cecilia, looking down at her lap. "S-sorry for rambling, t-too.."

Ivy saw a new person. She beamed as she bounced over to him. She bounced around the new boy excitedly. "HELLO! WELCOME TO CAMP!
YOU'RE LATE! LIKE REALLY LATE! YOU'VE MISSED TWO EVENTS! WE WENT MOUNTAIN CLIMBING! I THINK IT'S ALMOST TIME FOR LUNCH! MY NAME IS IVY! WHAT'S YOUR NAME! I CAN CONTROL FIRE! WHAT CAN YOU DO? MY BROTHER BROUGHT ME HERE ARE YOU ALONE?" She demanded as she moved around the boy excitedly.

[Skinner35]

@KatherinWinter
"AH! DEAR GOD!" He screamed in absolute shock of the random amount of excitement. After he quickly composed himself, he looked at this new face, the first of many. "Hi, I'm Toby. I'm really fast. How late am I?" He asked as he looked around, trying not to get caught in the bouncing eyes of the person who was circling him.
