[OOC] Camp Castaway

[Mangrale]

@KatherinWinter
Ah yes, that's what you mean. That is a pickle. As much as CC wouldn't want to get on their bad sides, leaving Spirit at the camp (for potentially a few pages worth of roleplaying) doesn't sound very fun either... It's hard for me to decide how to proceed. But for now I would personally like to wait until @SoulEater finishes his post before deciding what CC should do. Hmm...

[The1Rolling1Boy]

@LiegeLord it'd ok. It's not my first wasted post.

You do know you can't just go back to camp right?

@KatherinWinter

No I did not know that

[Mangrale]

@The1Rolling1Boy
Oh, right. The last two OOC posts explains how going back to camp isn't so simple.

@Mangrale

But why can't they go back the way Mystery came? Like how he listened in for the people's voices? He could do the same for his sister

I didn't know this.

Rolling has am excuse for not knowing since his/her characters weren't with the group when the group left. The rest of you have no excuse other then not paying attention to my post or not reading them. I described the counselors splitting up with one in front and one behind them. I did this to keep the group together. I'm not saying we leave Mystery behind but you can't just decided to go back.

[Mangrale]

@The1Rolling1Boy

There is a path. It wouldn't be hard to find camp. But the counselors aren't going to let you go and one of them is between you and the camp so the only way to go back is through her or around her. You go around ger and your character will be in trouble.

KatherinWinter

The counselors, the two wonder twins, one in the front of the group and one at the back, apparently don't approve of the campers in their care going back and away from the group. Whatever we may feel about their stance, it seems non-negotiable.

But that doesn't mean that our characters can't do anything. I think I may have a plan or two that I could share now or in the IC if you prefer.

Edit: I'll be right back in a little while, gotta take care of something.

@The1Rolling1Boy

Because we will have characters in different places. I don't want half the group in one place and the rest in another.

[LiegeLord]

@The1Rolling1Boy@Mangrale@KatherinWinter@1Hawkeyes

Well, Neric isn't really a camper. If that's an idea. Neric at least can tell where James is if they continue walking even.

[1Hawkeyes]

@KatherinWinter

I've read every post you posted. Sorry, I guess I didn't really understand that that meant they couldn't go back to camp since the counselors never said that to the campers. Actually, I completely forgot the counselors were there since they never interact with anyone, to be honest. We can probably go with LiegeLord's idea of Neric finding Spirit and leading her back since he isn't a camper.

[LiegeLord]

@KatherinWinter

And I've been listening to your posts, I even tried to interact with your characters till the counselors said to get around the fire. I just forgot about Ivy being there, then again I only referred to one person really when talking. He addressed everyone when asking what happened.

[KatherinWinter]

@1Hawkeyes There was no need for the counselors to do anything.

[1Hawkeyes]

@KatherinWinter Maybe you could have the counselors say the rule about no going back because they hear the campers or something. It would make sense story-wise, then James can get the idea with Neric.

[KatherinWinter]

@1Hawkeyes *rolls eyes* It would be just as easy for someone to ask the counselors if they can go back.

[1Hawkeyes]

@KatherinWinter Sorry, it was just a suggestion.

[Mangrale]

@KatherinWinter
That was uncalled for.

There is only one other way I can think of that wouldn't involve anyone leaving the group (I'm not a great fan of it for that purpose, because someone going back to retrieve Spirit would allow for opportunities for RPing which I prefer).

Basically what it entails is as many of our characters who are able to let Spirit know where they are. I'm saying: Valencia, Ivy, basically anyone with a noticeable power like fire and so forth to shoot directly upward to give her a marker to follow. It works if no one, not even Neric can leave. Of course I suppose it may not work if, even though they're on a path, since that doesn't mean the forest is clear enough to prevent a fire. But it can work in theory.

I'm just saying, I prefer Liegelord's idea of having Neric go.

[KatherinWinter]

@Mangrale I'm not sure what you mean? What was uncalled for? Going back to camp? Probably not but I didn't see another way. Having someone with fire ability might work but it's dangerous their in a forest. The counselors aren't going to suggest that. Yes Neri could go get her but would she follow a shadow man?

[LiegeLord]

@KatherinWinter

You have a point, guess this is the best way to resolve this. I'll follow your lead.

[Mangrale]

@KatherinWinter
That plan isn't final. Valencia could easily levitate something non-flaming. Perhaps if we were to imagine something rather than abandon ideas for whatever reason, we could create something special, where others would leave, never knowing what they could have accomplished.

As for whether or not Spirit would accompany a highly intelligent and friendly being of shroud, perhaps neither you nor I are capable of making that call. I would appreciate it if we heard from @The1Rolling1Boy and not take the opportunities to roleplay out of his hands.

I can accept that.
