Opening the pouch on his hip, a tent begins to form out of it. Definitely way too big for the pouch to hold, but oh well. Its a bag of holding for a reason. It's purple, with star decals. Like their hat!(edited)

I don’t know who that is and honestly I’m scared of people so I guess I don’t know I’m gonna go have a panic attack now?
(Great job oversharing. And in front of your new friend, too. You sure suck, Buggy~)
[Florence is once again wearing a disinterested look on their face as they watch everybody swarm around like ants in front of them trying to set up. They decide to turn around and take a look at the scenery instead, letting themself wander.]
Toast walked past the firepit and right to the tent area, already setting up camp. He took the small red tent he had and started setting it up. He struggled with it a little bit, but eventually, he had figured it out.
Alph calls out loudly, hand cupped around his mouth. "If anyone needs a tent, I have one!"
bug "rose"

"Uhm. Ah- Sorry I should've specificed." Oliver gestures at the man wearing the lovely button up and wizard hat. Oh jeez. He didn't know how to deal with other people's panic attacks. "I can get one for you if you need me to?"
It takes a few minutes, but he manages to set it up without too much issue. It can definitely hold two people comfortably. They hum, looking over at Moni. "Yeah?"
Sonya sighs and shrinks into her tent, being completely alone. She would love to have someone to hang out with, but she shrugged off the loneliness to being a newbie employee with little work friends.
[Florence stands at the edge of the tent area, back facing everybody. Their gaze is trained on the forest before them as they stand there silently. What are they thinking? Who knows.]

[Florence stands at the edge of the tent area, back facing everybody. Their gaze is trained on the forest before them as they stand there silently. What are they thinking? Who knows.]
286 then started her trip off with... a puzzle. She pulled a whole ass mini puzzle game that can be changed to edit the puzzle in ways so she could distract herself for quite awhile.
[This time, Florence is not snapped out of their brooding so easily. They ignore Louie's announcement over the loudspeaker, electing to just. Stand there instead. Riveting.]
table! (326/649/656)
"If anyone has one that can fit like 2 more people, can i bring 649 into it?" 524 asked, since she didn't really want to sleep outside.
Null suddenly remembered the sleeping bag they brought with them. They put down their bag, before taking out the sleeping bag and laying it flat on the ground. It, of course, was as large as they were. They adjusted it off to the side so it didn't take up too much space from the main area.
.... He's mumbling to himself I..I can't.. fix.. things... w..what.... what is.. "enjoy yourself"... w..what is- what-... 434 is just having a moment he'll be fine... hopefully..
Alph reenters the scene. "If you didn't hear, please head back to the firepit! Gather up your friends and make sure no one is left behind!" They call out.

.... He's mumbling to himself I..I can't.. fix.. things... w..what.... what is.. "enjoy yourself"... w..what is- what-... 434 is just having a moment he'll be fine... hopefully..
Oliver frowns. He's worried for his friend. He decides to try something new. "Hey, uh. It's going to be okay. Why don't we go back to the firepit? You heard Alph's voice right? I'll come with." Oliver reluctantly extends his hand for Ted to hold.(edited)
[Florence continues to stare into the forest, entirely lost in thought. For the most part, they were internally debating themself on a few things: namely, why they had never left the office before this moment. And especially why the outdoors felt weirdly familiar despite the aforementioned fact that they had never stepped foot outside of that stuffy building.]
16:21
[Also, if the office had windows, why did the outside appear to be nothing more than just an endless white expanse?]
They happen to notice the person blanking out staring into the woods. They approach them. "Excuse me, you're... the one from the lobby that one time, right?" He asks, moving to stand beside them.

[Florence looks over momentarily, only to be jumpscared by the presence of someone next to them. They jolt back before turning to get a good look at the person next to them.]
MAGICBUNNYSTAR
[eros and 489 in there tent- 489 already a sleep since she need to still heal her sickness, eros just watching something]
Insert windows shut down noise. Ok. Yeah. This was nice. But also terrifying cause Oliver's never done this before. His face flushes. He hopes to god and anything holy Ted doesn't notice. He clears his throat. "Shall we get going then? Wouldn't want the others to worry."
"Yeap. We're supposed to head on over to the firepit now, I'm gatherin' everyone to make sure no one's left. What should I call you, though? You can call me Alph."
[Florence cleared their throat and pushed up their glasses.] "Florence. I'm Florence." [They extended a hand out for a handshake - a polite reflex that they've never really managed to beat.]
Alph returns the handshake with a smile. "Nice to meet you, Florence. I gotta go round up the others, so make your way on over to the firepit, alright?"
[Florence stood there and blinked before sighing. Might as well make their way over to the firepit. They were going to do their best to weasel their way out of whatever the obstacle course was, though.]
MAGICBUNNYSTAR
[eros suddenly felt worried about ted and monika,,,he stand up to check on them] ((Father mode on)) (edited)
They pat the tent's flaps, knowing that Eros and 489 had entered but not left. "Hi, please head on over to the firepit!" They then move on to the next one.
Toast had quickly zipped up his tent as he got into it, mumbling and swearing to himself as he gripped his clothing. Panic attacks... sucked, he would make it through this one, he just needed to calm down, just wait it out.
Sonya was shaking like crazy, looking incredibly anxious as she climbs into her tent and just started sobbing. The situation that just happened finally got to her and she didn't know how to react in a healthy way.
.. Ted began to think to himself.. staring at his hair ... T..there's some still left over... I.. think.. 434 trying to be a scientist and it's not working.. his brain literally cannot do that
Well, as Toast's panic had faded, he started to hear a familiar voice, it was Sonya's voice, and he perked up a little. He noticed she was sad, or in some sort of distress- Alright Toast whatever you do- Toast got up from his tent, fixing his mask and making his way over to Sonya's tent. "Sonya?" he called, it was kind of quiet, but it was noticeable. God dammit Toast, what did we say about emotional connections?
[he falls down again and faints...W I N GS,,,,beautifull............]

She turned back towards Toast almost immediately, her tears falling down her cheeks as she stop trying to wipe them away and just clutched the messy bundle of clothes in her arms. "I- I'm fine, don't worry." She quickly remarked before turning away, forcing herself to soothe out her breathing to make it seem like she's not upset anymore. She didn't want anyone to see her now, especially not like this.

She didn't want anyone to see her now, especially not like this.
Toast wasn't an expert in situations like these, but he decided to follow his gut, maybe that'd help him... He slowly got into the tent, on his knees next to Sonya. "No you're crying," he spoke softly, it was the softest his voice has ever gone, "do you- would you- ehem- do you want to talk about it? Or rather- do you need a hug?"
”Right then so the tents are good, how about you two troublemakers, got the tents set up?”
“We did an hour ago, dipshit.”
”Hahh...okay, well, I’mmm going to explore more, may I ask what you two or planning to do?”
“Pfft, I’m going to chill here. You two dumbfucks go out and get killed. Or uh, get badly injured. Whichever is good enough.”
171 and 250 looked at 864 then back at eachother”Welll, Juneberry, do you want to follow or me or are you planning to head out all by yourself?”
....um....i’ll just walk off somewhere....
”Okay! Have funnn, I’ll head out and hike in the woods, this is your last chance, 8-6-4! C’mon we can have a nice time together!”
“Fuck off already and let me smoke.” She said while pulling out a pack then 171 swiped it away
“H-HEY, GIVE THAT BACK-“
”Ah-ah-ah, we shouldn’t smoke around these parts, you should know better. Don’t want to cause a forest fire now do we?”
“Pfft, sure if that’s the only way to make this trip fun.”
”.........”They then sighed”Well, hey, 2-5-0, go have some fun and explore, I’ve decided to stay here and keep an eye on 8-6-4.”
......uhm...yea.....okay... He then wandered off
I..I don't know! You started to scream in pain.. a...and you fell over... and this... red liquid came out of your nose..? a...and... and... I picked you up and brought you here.. and.... suddenly those came out of your back!

"No you're crying," he spoke softly, it was the softest his voice has ever gone, "do you- would you- ehem- do you want to talk about it? Or rather- do you need a hug?"
"No!" She shouted almost immediately, clutching her clothes tighter before shuttering and sinking into her self pity. ". . . No... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to shout. E- Especially not at you of all people... I... I'm sorry... I'll leave when I'm done crying, okay?" She peeked over, feeling absolutely awful and guilty for snapping. She tried to make a smile but it was so hard when her face hurt so much from all the wailing.
"....." [shocked as he gets a fast flashback of each memories]

She tried to make a smile but it was so hard when her face hurt so much from all the wailing.
Toast backed off when she said this, easing back towards the entrance of the tent. "Don't worry, you're panicked it- it's understandable. Would you like me to leave?" he asked softly once again, actually trying to be respectable.
[the flashbacks, showed his old friend scientists crews talking about greek mythology and bringing gods back- he sees statues and pictures and everything greek mythololgy-- they weren't trying to make him a beast...there trying to make him a GOD]
((i need to make art oh his flashbacks cause this one give me chills imagine him surrounding mythology stuff and the song "little dark age" plays))

"I think some room would be nice... But thank you for worrying... I-I'll be fine..." She turned away, dropping her clothes and immediately started folding them. Looks like she changed her coping habit to organizing her tent out. At least it was productive.
171 sits next to 864
“The fuck are you doing??”
”Being a responsible staff member and staying close to keep you in check.”
“Sure, whatever. Hey, got like, a hydroflask with that ‘water’ in it?”
”...I-.....No.”
“Tsk. Alright then. This trip is going to be such a blast then.” She spoke sarcastically”Heheh, I’m glad you’re finally seeing the bright side of things!” (obviously zoey doesn’t understand, sarcasm)
“What. Whatever...”
434 got up E...eros!? Oh god is it happening again!? 434 began to panic slightly I..I'm friends with a god- a god!? He's stepping around in a circle This is... it's... 434 paused ....AMAZING?! 434 took a deep breath O..okay.. he's fine.. he's.... He's going through a whole thought process of how Eros is now a fucking god

"I..." he seemed a bit hesitant to leave, but eventually he obliged, "alright, I'll be at the.. er- gallows, if you need me." He backed out of the tent, standing up once he was out and wiping off his pants.(edited)

”You know...I’m a bit surprised you’re letting me be this close to you.”
“What? Don’t think that because I’m letting you be close to me that it means anything. I literally give no fucks about you.”
”Heheh, yeah sure, sure.”
“.....I meant that. I wasn’t joking at all. I’ll seriously push you off a fucking cliff if I ever have the chance.”
”......”
She miserably was just organizing everything in her tent, then took a break to drink water she had with her because she didn't want to dehydrated because she was crying earlier.
After a while of being cooped up, Sonya crawled out of her tent and took a big breath of air. "Mmm....." She rubbed her eyes then stumbled and shuffled her way to the gallows.
171 then sighed”Look, are you really going to stay here all day? You have so much to explore, I mean, even 2-5-0 is exploring!”
“Y’know, speaking of him, I’m giving that shithead at least 5 minutes till he comes back here- No, I’m being too generous- 2 seconds, heh.”
The two kinda sit there for a bit
“Huh. He might actually be dead, good for him.”
”8-6-4, DON’T SAY THINGS LIKE THAT.”
“Fucking calm down. I wasn’t being serious.....Okay, maybe I am. But not like no one cares about that poor fucker.”
”Well I care about all my staff.”
“He’s fine, besides seems like you enjoy my company, don’t you?”
”WHAT. YOUR COMPANY? YOU HAVEN’T DONE ANYTHING BUT LOUNGING AROUND, I’M ONLY HERE TO KEEP YOU IN CHECK.”
“Seriously, calm down, you’re going to pop a blood vessel, actually no wait-keep going this is kinda hilarious.”
”Ugh. I’ve had it with you. But I’m still going to stay here so you don’t have to piss off any of our staff.”
“Well there’s one checked out now uh-many more to go, heh.”
”Shut it already.”
“Heyy, aren’t you suppose to keep a smile on your face, miss grouch?”
”I’VE ALREADY TOLD YOU TO SHUT IT, SO LISTEN TO WHAT I SAY AND SHUT IT.”
“Pssshhh. Okay, okay. But not because you said so.”
Rika Sakura
Ted perked up, shaking his head, yeah Alph just came in to Eros having fucking wings I..I don't know... m..magic...
171 then sighed”Look, are you really going to stay here all day? You have so much to explore, I mean, even 2-5-0 is exploring!”

R..Remember when he.. was screaming at the cave..? Yeah.. I..I picked him up.. brought him here.. a..and.. well.... those just... came in.... through his back... and.. he's out cold again... not sure if theres more happening w..with him..
”No! She basically wishes for one of our staff employees to die, and even threatened me as well!”864 then puts her hand over 171’s face and pushed them back
“Hahhh, don’t listen to them, it was only a innocent joke.”
”No! She basically wishes for one of our staff employees to die, and even threatened me as well!”864 then puts her hand over 171’s face and pushed them back
“Hahhh, don’t listen to them, it was only a innocent joke.”
“Hey, hey, don’t worry your little shit head about it. It was only a joke, like I said. This freak right here is just playing along with the joke, hahah what a kidder.”
”SHUT UP ALREADY, you sure didn’t make it seem like a joke with that grin of yours, so why don’t you go ahead and admit it and quit lying already!”
“I don’t know what you’re sayingggg....I really was only making one little joooke...I’m weally sowwy, misteww...fowgive meee...”
”......Just shut up already.”
Ted just stayed near Eros, he laid down next to Eros looking up at the ceiling, his ponytail falls out, he then puts the rubber band in his man bag, now having long hair(edited)
This was giving him a headache. "Okay, definitely not going to believe you when they said that, and what's your names?" They could not deal with this right now. When they find Sheryl or Louie, or anyone from management, they'll request for one of them to be put in a different tent. Normally, Alph would be friendly with new people. But this person annoyed him.

“Ugh, hell if i’ll tell you my name.”
”Hello, I’m Zoey, it’s honestly a pleasure to meet you! And that is employee 8-6-4!”
“Wait so you aren’t being just formal, but you literally don’t even know my fucking name?”
”Well, it’s best to state employees by their numbers after all.”
“You are the only fucking one who does that.”
171 gets out of the tent and walks a bit forward before turning around, waiting for 472 to lead the way now”Come on, let’s go now!”They joked as they warmly smiled at 472
After dressing for the night? she grabbed a crankable flashlight and some of her snacks. She then turned away and walked all the way to the campfire. "Smores time!" She shouts excitedly.
...I.. wanna stay with him... until he's comfy.. 434 looks at Eros P..plus... 434 then looked back at Delta ....T..too many things.... I..I'm still so... Ted puts up his knees, hugging onto them .... 434 then closed his eyes... still uncomfortable about everything
Ted went right back to looking up at the sky... god damn he loves looking at it.. it's probably the only thing that's giving him true comfort in this campsite right now along with his friends ...
"Thank you, Thank you." They duck inside, letting the blanket unravel so he would be laying comfortably. He was on top of his sleeping bag, but a blanket covered him. "He should be out for a bit. At least long enough to sleep off the alcohol."
"Oh perfect, I actually made some for you!" She disappeared into her tent, shuffling about before holding out a small party plate with three smores on it from her tent.
Ted picked up one of the smores, staring at it slightly.. this'll be his first time trying one.. but soon as he noticed there's a marshmallow in the middle, he took a bite
"I have left over supplies if you want to make more as well. I mean... You'd probably give them a better use then I could, at least you have people you can share with."
"Of course! You have people who really care about you." She smiled back then put all the smore supplies outside of her tent. "I can also show you how to make one, just so you can make them yourself."
Null arrives shortly. They yawn, before placing their bag down. "Goodnight, everyone. Have a good rest." They unzip their sleeping bag, climbing into it and zipping it back up.
"I'll head off as well. I should hopefully be back in time for the buses, if not, I'll just go to the office. Goodnight." They unzip the space in front of them, taking one last breath of the outside air, and step in.

She stood there, completely alone. She tried to not let it get to her, as horrible as it genuinely hurts her. She was so envious about everyone around her, making friends came so easily to them and yet, here she was, alone for the majority of the trip with very little socialization. She put everything down gently then went to her tent to grab her flashlight before walking away from the tent site.
(but genuinely if we end up staying here another day should i still go with narrys meeting or have it happen sunday he def wont have very good impressions of people at the campsite (edited)

(Alph: "Why the fuck is both my daughter and nephew on the ground- and why is he in a dress... and why does he also have a plush.. and why does she look like she's crying-")
the place was an absolute mess. a stench of beer was dispersed throughout the site; there were also beer cans on the floor, a couple of tents destroyed… is that a chainsaw on the ground? and there was also monica, ted, etc, just laying in the ground, asleep.
“….uh. so my tent’s over here.” she pointed to her tent; thank god it wasn’t damaged. “i wouldn’t mind having june sleep over there, if that’s alright with them. i’ll linger behind here a little… just to kinda…. assess the situation we have at hand.” she gestured towards the ruins.(edited)
01:28
(cherry take ur time btw. ik you’re using sheryl with florence <3)
Oliver glanced around at the absolute destruction. Yeesh. Oliver made a mental note that Louie, Trevor, Spooctus, and Ted should not have access to alcohol. "Yeah. Uh. Go ahead. Let me know if I can help."

”yep….” iris smiled, watching them head down. half of her wishes she didn’t have to help clean up this mess, but it’s kinda hard when some of her friends are literally there. she took a deep breath.(edited)
...it’s alright, i already got a tent made thanks to I-...wait...He then looked around in a panic
...where are they-??
171 sipped some can of beer and walked to 250”Don’t worry, she’s asleep at our tent right now.”
...oh-...is that—...
”Uhhhh...yeahh, don’t tell 8-6-4 though, she would never let that go.”They then chugged the rest and walks back to 864’s tent and just kinda sleeps next to Izel lol
.....huh.
01:35
...well yeah, already got my uh tent set up earlier, thank you tho...
iris saw the conversation. ”good to know.” iris smiled, although half wondering who those people were. “have a nice night then. i’ll see you sometime, yea?”(edited)
250 just waves slightly then looks down, thinking of something
..a-actually, I’m going to um walk around for a bit before going to sleep, since i don’t really feel that tired yet so hah...yeah... He then walked away
”…you’re awake.” iris said, noticing movement. she had already started picking up some of the cans. “care to explain what the hell happened here?” although, i already have an idea of what happened.
(i’m assuming he doesn’t rember )(edited)
Oddly for Ted, he got up like nothing happened, looking down at the plush of a wolf he had when he was drunk ?? Yeaahhh he remembers some things... but not everything... he then looked around W..woah what- what happened-
E...Eros!? 434 then got fully up, running over to Eros, completely ignoring Iris, he needs to take care of his father WHATHAPPENEDDIDANYTHINGHAPP- He sees Eros sad Oh no you don't >:I 434 then faceplanted next to Eros No sadness on my watch!
(i honestly don’t think she would be pissed
she angstily zoned out for a few hours yesterday, it would make sense to her if tanything happened between those times
iris looked slightly irritated as she looked in its general direction. now most of the cans have been picked up. (thankfully, there was only like,, 30 to begin with)(edited)
S..SON!? 434's shocked expression got even more shocked.. yep you broke him. He's now trying to translate that into his dumb ass head, cue the windows xp error noises
iris looked slightly irritated as she looked in its general direction. now most of the cans have been picked up. (thankfully, there was only like,, 30 to begin with) (edited)
iris smiled a little at the interaction, hoping that she wasn’t bothering it. she had never seen the other person though; maybe she should introduce herself at a good timing.
(cans have basically been cleaned)
”oh no you don’t-“ iris grabs tbh, but not before knocking him out with a quick sleep spell. she winces and hopes that the two don’t notice the flash of light from her direction.(edited)
Sonya climbed out of her tent, looking exhausted as she grabs her fire kettle, travel mug, and a match box. "Mmm..." She yawned and stumbled her way over to the fire pit.
(alph might be back in like 8 or whatever hours cause i need to sleep . he might be a little late but we'll just say they were up late talking to narrator lmao)
lmao)
most of the cans had been cleaned up, with the exception of some nearby the trashcan; the trashbin basically overflowed with cans of beer. iris had picked up the ones strewn across the floor.
monika’s tent seemed to be fine. she had remembered which one it was, mainly because monika proudly showcased it to everyone as the “family tent that she set up all by herself.” iris hauled monika to her tent, attempting to do it gently as to not wake her up. however, for the damaged tents… she couldn’t really do anything about those. she might have to ask some people for that one.
(oh btw no one’s awake probably lmao. no one saw her doing this)(edited)
Sonya was now just standing there, watching Iris while holding a travel mug of hot tea in one hand and a kettle under her arm. She didn't exactly say anything while watching before turning away and walking back to her tent and going inside.
iris heard footsteps. fuck.
she looked back, alarmed, but didn’t see anyone. with a sigh, she continued what she was doing, but the paranoia didn’t fade. it wouldn’t have been very… important, that no one would see what she was doing, but she was still disturbed nevertheless.(edited)
as time passed on, the paranoia faded away, leaving iris only with drowsiness. it was probably…. 4am or so. she honestly should’ve slept more given the fact that she passed out yesterday, but oh well.
iris still had tbh in her arms—the sleep spell had been a little stronger than she imagined. they’re probably going to be out cold until next morning, she thought.
iris placed tbh in her tent, hoping that she’d be awake before they were, and went back outside for a couple of minutes. it might be kind of out of character because it’s 6am at the time of writing this and i haven’t slept, but at this point i do not care and i’m just gonna continue.
after taking in a good view of the sky, and immersing herself in nature for the last time of the day, she headed back inside to her tent, finally going to sleep.
———
(alright alright so update
iris generally took care of the situation, staying up until like 4am to clean up stuff. i mean the tents are still destroyed and there’s probably still beer spills + beer scent (and probably bleach scent as well glares at trevor) on the campsite, but most of the cans had been tidied. she also hauled monika to her tent since she knew where it was. (i’m assuming ted is fine with eros rn).
people will still know something happened but the damage is lessened, basically
…trevor and spooctus are doing their own thing in the man cave tho)(edited)
Sonya grumbled, opening her eyes as she laid in her tent. She sat up, rubbing her eyes as she looked around. "Nhmmm..." She soon remembered that she was on an team building trip, sighing and climbing out of her tent. As soon as she was out, she made a huge yawn and stretched.
iris groggily woke at the sound of louie’s yelling. she saw that tbh had already escaped the tent. thank god he didn’t break anything, she thought.
she took a minute to actually step out, grabbing her coffee and her materials in the process. “heya louie,” she said as she walked into the area. she was desperately trying to hide the bags under her eyes (but probably failed).
(girl has just of a bad sleep schedule as i do)(edited)
Zenith then wakes up in an uncomfortable position, the type of waking up where your back hurts and imprints of the sheets are on your skin— it took them a bit of time to actually move, and when they did they question the place they were on. Did they make this themselves? why couldn't they remember anything? did someone turned into a parent and carried them here? They do not know, but they sensed everything was still alright, and shouldn't get into their head so easily, so they went with it. They cautiously stepped out of the tent, their hair still messy, their hoodie all messed up and looking like they haven't slept for 5 days, looking and anaylizing the area, gaining a sense of comfort and familiarity.
Zenith looked at the man in confusion, pointing towards themselves, their head slightly tilted as their free hand brushes the hair infront of her face to the side trying to look presentable
Alph steps through the portal, a wide grin on his face as he stretches. It stays open behind them. "You can come through, you know."
A voice with a british accent responds. "Aren't you still at the camp, though? Not exactly... ideal conditions to meet coworkers, I wouldn't think. Especially not if it's for coworkers."
"You aren't necessarily wrong, but I don't think anything bad will happen. Louie is nice, and Sheryl is... well... I don't think they'll mind." Alph continues talking.
"Well... If you insist."
A tall man with his hair in a bun steps through the portal. He seems... curious, if a bit hesitant. His lips are downturned, but that's his neutral expression.
(narrator has an rbf confirmed)
Now that Alph actually looks around... why were there tents destroyed? "Good morning, Moni."
"This is the child you were talking about, hm?" The tall man asks, honestly not caring about the collapsed tents. He expected worse, actually.
"Oh my, more people are here now? How exciting..." She claps slowly, dozing off while standing then snapping awake and grabbing her outdoors tea making supplies before walking off towards the fire pit to make morning tea. "I'll be backkkkk! If anyone wants tea, you can come."
iris looked around… other than sonya, monica, and louie, there was another person that she had never seen before. might as well introduce myself later, she thought.
—wait, did she just hear a british accent? she turned around to see alph, with another new face. huh, she thought.(edited)
"Why am I not surprised. I guess it was too hopeful of me to think everything would go right." Alph sighs. "I'm sorry you had to deal with it, it must've been hard for you." They pat her head.
iris was too tired to actually talk, so she just listened to monika. she should probably know what the hell happened there to cause the mess that it did, anyways.
she also noticed oliver stepping through his tent. she waved at him, smiling a little bit.(edited)

(for further notice, chai has gone Mad and is probably in the woods somewhere like idfk wyat they doin but ummmmm) (they dont like iutside i have concluded)
The man looks over at Louie in... slight confusion. "You're proud of tha- what is that Creature?"
Alph shrugs. "Don't know. it was what made the alcohol, hard drugs, and weapons. Kinda cute though."
"???"
”morning.” she repeated. she sipped her thermos.
she watched tbh, tried to not think about the fact that thet were literally damaging one of the tents yesterday.(edited)

”….nope.” she honestly replied. “i may have… been up until pretty late, heh.” trying to pick up after the mess that they caused, she followed mentally.
Toast hears the commotion outside, now feeling himself slowly stir away. He looked around, checking the surroundings to make sure he was actually awake before he sat up and stretched. "Ffffuck," he muttered, feeling all his muscles cry out in sore pain. He sighed, deciding it would be best to stretch his muscles by walking out of the tent. So he got dressed, in his classic bright crimson cherry hoodie, and walked outside. He grunted when he saw everyone was socializing already, and then he noticed Oliver, let us just hope Oliver doesn't notice him. Now, where is Sonya? Maybe he could... use the demon's advice?
Alphonse!
Alph ruffles her hair once more. "This, is the friend I always visit. You can call him... Narrator."
The Narrator nods.
"Oh, heya."
she nodded, smiling. “hey.. narrator.” she suppressed the urge to shorten it to “narry.” doesn’t seem like the type to like nicknames like that.
(middle-aged british man stereotypes intensifies)
“…we should all introduce ourselves, shouldn’t we? i’m iris.”(edited)
”….nope.” she honestly replied. “i may have… been up until pretty late, heh.” trying to pick up after the mess that they caused, she followed mentally.
"Hm.. Well, I hope you get some better sleep tonight." Oliver offers a sympathetic smile at Iris. "Oh- Looks like there's breakfast at the firepit. Wanna go?"
“Sup Mr. Narrator, mind if I call you a silly nickname? I like silly nicknames. Do you have one? I’ll make one for you if you don’t broski,” it smiles toothily, “I’m Skunk.”

“Oh we movin?”

"Hm.. Well, I hope you get some better sleep tonight." Oliver offers a sympathetic smile at Iris. "Oh- Looks like there's breakfast at the firepit. Wanna go?"
Zenith separated herself from the bundle of people who are popping in faster than ants when rain happens, grabbing their thermos from their tent then drinking the remains of a slightly warm liquid that was inside, staying put inside of their tent out of anxiety, though trying to listen and watch just in case they need to go out in a hurry(edited)
171 tiredly open up their eyes and awaken to a painful migraine, groaning as they rubbed their head, which then woke up 864
“The fuck are you doing...?” She said in a pissed off manner, glaring at 171”My head hurts...”
“Awwh, and you’re gonna continue whining about it? Whatever..Want to get some breakfast?” She said as she walked out of the tent and looked back at 171”Yeah...sure...anything that can make this headache better...”They then got out of the tent as well
“That’s what a hangover does to you.”
”W-Wait how you know???”
“You were sleeping next to me for about 11 hours, snoring like a Minecraft chest, how the hell would I not smell that.”
”Ahah....oh...”
“Pfft, don’t worry, I won’t tell nobody, nobody meaning everyone who tries to talk to me.”
”.........”They smirked and snorted”I kinda like you, heheheheh...”864 blankly looked at 171, kinda shocked then shrugged it off
“Hey now, don’t ever say that shit again or I’ll give you something worse than a headache.”
”Heh.....oh-okay..”The two then finally walked to the firepit
MonikaTheLesbian
yawn im hungry, imm gonna go to the fire pit okay?
"We're heading there too." Alph hums, beginning to head in that direction. The half-foot taller man behind him follows, looking around at the nature that surrounds him.
"The forest is quite lovely here." He comments, enjoying the air.
Their head then peeks out of the tent, being curious on why they're disappearing. Planning to follow them, they grabbed their now-empty thermos then quickly followed Alph, creepy-stalker-style

Null slowly opened up their sleeping bag, stretching their arms upon sitting up. They yawned, before climbing out of their sleeping bag. They blinked, looking around the tent area before heading over to the firepit.
…. He thought to himself.. of course.. not knowing what the fuck a pancake is, but he slowly shook his head.. too bright… too much to look at.. He’d rather stay here..
…. He just stared outside for two seconds before looking down, shaking his head once again
15:01
I..I’d rather stay here.. His voice sounded off
15:07
Within the tent, Ted the whole night has been throwing up ink liquid along with twitching all night… he never slept.. after the whole drunk Ted situation… he’s been feeling more and more off
Zenith was now relaxed, making themselves now presentable and fixing their place up. It didn't take long sure, but they didnt want to be behind schedule so as soon as they finished, they immediately ran to the lake area, which is- running to where most of the noise come from
Alphonse!
Alph steps through the portal, a wide grin on his face as he stretches. It stays open behind them. "You can come through, you know."
A voice with a british accent responds. "Aren't you still at the camp, though? Not exactly... ideal conditions to meet coworkers, I wouldn't think. Especially not if it's for coworkers."
"You aren't necessarily wrong, but I don't think anything bad will happen. Louie is nice, and Sheryl is... well... I don't think they'll mind." Alph continues talking.
"Well... If you insist."

(narrator has an rbf confirmed)
Sonya took the time to put everything away in her tent, then took some time for lounging by the lake, putting on a swimsuit and sunscreen. "Ahhh! This is going to be fun!" She beams as she grabbed her hat and put it on as she grabbed some extra clothes and a towel before leaving her tent to go back to the lake.
Zenith got back from the lake and laid inside the cool tent, them pulling the zipper up to safely contain themselves. They proceed to grab pringles from their bag and ate, only to fall asleep after the eating session.
Toast had traveled back to the tents, he looked tired, exhausted, but he also looked happy. It was different. Only thing that sucked was that his mask was wet, so after he had dropped Sonya's things at her tent, he went to his own to dry the mask. He also grabbed soap and cloth for Sonya later. He squeezed out the water, quickly doing the same with the rest of his clothing before getting redressed again. His mask hadn't gotten any close to being drier, and he was sad he didn't have a spare. So he just sat there, waiting.
Sonya walked back to camp, soaking wet with her hair pasted to her face. She took a huge deep breath then sighed as she wrung out her hair while walking around. "Toast! I'm back from the lake!" She'd call out more but she didn't want to embarrass herself for what had happened at the lake.

Toast heard her, looking up from whatever he was zoned out on, and he snatched his mask, putting it back on. Sadly, it was still soaking wet, but he'd deal with it. He got out of his tent, now dressed in dry clothes, with a cloth and soap in his hands. "Here, need help with the rest of it?" he teased, "you were awfully nice for saving him."
Alph enters through the portal that had formed, Moni in Narrator's arms. She is handed back off to Alph. "Moni, message the group chat and ask for healing, or heal yourself if you can." They enter her tent, setting her down. "I'll get help, and go and look for Delta. I can't have you getting any more hurt, alright?" They look stressed, yet smile. Any good sleep they may have gotten had clearly faded. After setting her down, they summon a large moth plush, a small wizard hat on its head. "I'll be back. Please, please stay safe."
"It seems you've regained some actual conscience." Narrator comments.
"Moni, summon all the ice cream you want. Put in earbuds, and turn the volume up. Please." Alph still has the same, unsure smile on his face.
Ted slowly got up, sighing, then seeing Eros Oh hi Da- He paused himself before he could say it ..... Eros...

He got out of his tent, now dressed in dry clothes, with a cloth and soap in his hands. "Here, need help with the rest of it?" he teased, "you were awfully nice for saving him."
She snorts as she looked at the soap and cloth, slightly chuckling. "Well I may need a bit of help washing off my back if that counts." She then looked over at gathering, falling silent before sulking away from them. "Geez, what happened?..."
"Yes, let's go. Moni, I'll... be back soon." They felt the need to tell her that, even if she couldn't hear. "Narrator, everyone, we should head that way more than likely- well, shit."
She snorts as she looked at the soap and cloth, slightly chuckling. "Well I may need a bit of help washing off my back if that counts." She then looked over at gathering, falling silent before sulking away from them. "Geez, what happened?..."
"I honestly don't know," he frowned, looking over at it as well. "I believe it'll be best if we stay away from there, they already seem to be... handling it, in a way." He then focused back on her, nodding as she said this. "Alright, here, let's go to your tent, yeah?" he said as he walked over to her tent.

He then focused back on her, nodding as she said this. "Alright, here, let's go to your tent, yeah?" he said as he walked over to her tent.
"Oh, yeah that is okay." She giggled as she lead Toast back towards her tent. "I wasn't expecting you to be so forward on wanting to come over to my place." She teased him, opening her tent and going inside.
"Oh, yeah that is okay." She giggled as she lead Toast back towards her tent. "I wasn't expecting you to be so forward on wanting to come over to my place." She teased him, opening her tent and going inside.
Toast perked up at this comment, he looked surprised. Though, slowly it eased into a smile. "Well, I'm just a forward guy," he teased back, stopping once they made it to her tent. He took out the cloth and soap, got a water bottle from his pocket to wet the cloth, and squirted some soap onto it. "Alright soooo... just turn around for a momento," now he was talking like a cheesy dad.
(okay actually you know what i’m editing my prevous statement in the park. girl is dumbly running in the direction of,, whatever the hell is going on ther

She nodded and turned around for Toast, humming as she held her hair up. "I am going to hope no one walks in on us because I will admit, this is a bit embarrassing." She chuckled to herself as she looked back at Toast.

She nodded and turned around for Toast, humming as she held her hair up. "I am going to hope no one walks in on us because I will admit, this is a bit embarrassing." She chuckled to herself as she looked back at Toast.
"What's embarrassing about it?" he teased, saying this somewhat sarcastically. He began to clean off her back, to be honest, there wasn't anything on there, besides dirt and sand from the lake, he just wanted to... He doesn't know, he took pride in this for some reason. Sonya trusted him enough to let him do this.
"Yeah sure, how would you feel if I was washing your back and then someone walks in? What excuse would you give because if anything, it seems rather intimate, don't you think?" She snickered, looking away from him and at the ceiling of her tent. "Oh well, I'm rather enjoying this so thank you."
"Intimate?" Toast questioned, turning a small shade of red, "what do you mean by intimate?" Toast didn't exactly have the best clue about 'romance', he was new to it. Though, he decided to continue what he was doing, as he was reassured by Sonya telling him she liked it. By now her back was clean, but he was continuing to gently wipe down her back, silent as he did so. Oh this was- what was he doing??
"I mean, how normal is it for you to go around and have just someone wash you? Sure, my back isn't all that much special since I can just wear something backless; but to actually have someone up close to you? That's a different can of worms. Not like I really mind however, someone touching your bare back isn't too bad since it's acceptable in the cases of massages." She laughs it off, looking at him again. "Are you following what I'm trying to say?"
"... Yes," he was hesitant with his wording, but he did understand what she was saying, he just stood on the other side of the example. "I find it nice, that you trust me enough to do this, that's my enjoyment," he teased her a bit, "I've never done this for anyone before either, even if this.. is a result of quite an embarrassing story." That brought more questions to Toast though, did she think the same about him? Or was he just hopelessly catching feelings? He was still on debate if he even had them!
"Pfft. You're too sweet to me... To be honest, you're probably the only person I've hung out with that genuinely likes me. I mean sure, the whole office likes me, but... It's just a work type of like, they respect me but I doubt anyone there would go out of their way for me." She spoke softly, turning away as she thought. "You, however, you have always just been there, dealing with my antics and even now, you're helping me with something I could have done myself..." She felt her eyes fill up with tears, smiling to herself. "So Toast, thank you. Thank you for being by my side..."
(Ted doesn't know much.... Monika is probably the best one to ask.)

Toast had no idea how to respond. That was the nicest thing someone has ever said to him. Even if it wasn't a complete compliment, it warmed him. He was happy he could give Sonya this type of comfort, he didn't know how much she struggled with it. "Sonya..." he slowly trailed off. Be began to wash off her shoulders, changing the rags of course, even though there was no reason to, she was clean by now. "You deserve way more," he chuckled softly, "... why were you crying? That last night? I only saw you again at the gallows before you.. went somewhere."
"If we need to kill her..." Alph grimaces at the thought. They really, really didnt want to have to use those spells. *
"I'll need a pole, or spear of some kind." *Narrator hums. "While I am proficient with hand-to-hand combat, the spear is my weapon of choice."
he reaches into his briefcase and pulls out a giant globule of void, he bends it into a long sword, then a spear, then a gun, before finally settling on a giant, pitch black long sword with cyan glowing runes on the blade

"Yesterday?..." She tried to dig deep into her memories of what happened, feeling the terror clutching at her heart again. She tried to hold back the feeling from taking hold of her head but gave in. ". . . I was scared of dying. I don't know how close I was to dying then but, the thought is so horrifying. The unawareness of how one small mistake would have costed my life... I was just scared, that is all..." She tried her hardest to be honest, even when the tears ran down her face. She sighed then wiped her eyes. "But now I'm with you, so I'm safe, right?" She smiled back at him, giggling a bit.

Toast listened to her, a small frown on his face as he continued to tend to her shoulders. He gave a soft sigh when she looked back at him. She was so.. He couldn't find the words to describe her. He was silent for a moment, but then he stepped a little closer to her, and wrapped his arms around her waist, hugging her from behind. "You're safe with me, I promise," he said, his tone soft yet serious. He now will do everything he could to protect Sonya.

She felt her cheeks flush as she was hugged from behind, letting her hands down as her hair fell flat. She didn't know how to react to this much tender care, she felt like wrapping her arms around Toast and just never letting go. But it felt so unreal, such tender care was never meant to be for her, right? She stared at him, her heart racing as she stood there. ". . . That's a mighty big promise there, Toast... You don't have to promise me anything at all. I'm happy to hear your promise but it's too good for me, I don't deserve that much..."

"Who says that?" Toast immediately frowned, "you're such a- well- you're nice and you'd never hurt a fly! Compared to me- the things that I have done, you look like a saint." He felt her heart rate pick up, oh he hated seeing her like this. "You deserve kindness, more than anyone here may I say."

"Hmph, is that so? Well it's not like I do much, I just try to be a good person, even if all I mostly do is make tea..." She fell silent. "But no matter, I am happy to be here, with you... Now, do you mind letting me go? I'm hungryyyyy..." She playfully whined, trying to get over the serious topic of her morality and identity as a person.
they make their way back to the tent area, not seeing the others. "They left without us? That's rude."

Now, do you mind letting me go? I'm hungryyyyy..." She playfully whined, trying to get over the serious topic of her morality and identity as a person.
Toast rolled her eyes as she whined, chuckling a bit before he let her go. He understood why she wanted to get off-topic, it wasn't a comfortable thing to talk about. "My point still stands either way," he said softly while he stretched his limbs. "Whatcha planning to make? Hmm- unless they got dinner up at the firepit. That reminds me- I haven't eaten," he was mostly talking to himself at this point, making mental notes in his head.
Alph sighs. "time to find them i guess." He leaves a note for @wist [#309 🥬 / #614 ☕] (sorry for de ping) that says that they'll be looking for the others.(edited)
"Cook? I didn't exactly bring much to cook. I mostly have granola bars and trail mix, but we can definitely go see if anyone made anything, I'd have to change first because I don't want to go to the fire pit in a swimsuit." She giggled, taking the time to stretch as well.(edited)
Toast chuckled as well, "alright alright, I'll just be here in the cornerrrrr~" he teased her. He was going to leave and give her privacy, but he just wanted to tease her first, he wanted to see how she would react.
She quickly caught on to what Toast was doing, smirking as she shrugs. "You could have just asked to watch, you know~" She teased back at him then flushed red. "Actually no- Please don't stay- I didn't mean it-" She covered her face in embarrassment, laughing to herself about what she said.
Toast then started bursting out laughing, covering his face with one of his hands. "Oh my god you're so sweet and innocent!" he teased, peaking over his hand after he calmed down his laughter, "alright alright I'll stay. Though... Sonya?"
She quieted down her laughter, wiping her eyes as she looked at him with a warm smile. "Sorry sorry- Yeah? What is it?" She answered, just looking at him with admiration.
Her expression changed a bit, now looking pleasantly surprised as her smile widened. "Charlie, hm? It suits you." She then waved him out jokingly. "Now shoo, I'm hungry and I bet you are too!"
Y'all be quiet! XD I can't believe you guys actually thought his name was Toast, I based the character off of me!))

Her expression changed a bit, now looking pleasantly surprised as her smile widened. "Charlie, hm? It suits you." She then waved him out jokingly. "Now shoo, I'm hungry and I bet you are too!"
Sonya giggled to herself as she closed her tent and began changing, maybe something for comfortable for the evening. Maybe something warm but comfortable. She threw on a sweater and some leggings before taking the time to brush out her hair to be presentable. "Alright! I'm coming out!"
"I'm so proud of you," he teased, he had his back facing the tent, making sure he was giving her privacy. "I wonder what outfit you have chosen for this lovely night," he smiled.
"Oh hahaha, in that case, I'm panromantic." She laughed as she got out of her tent, standing over Charlie with her hands on her hips.

Charlie felt his face heat up at the sight of her, that was certainly a nice look. "Oh well uhhh- noted," he chuckled, glancing away from her to cool his blush down, "I'm... I have no clue. I think demmiii...? In both...?" And now he's going down a questioning hole.
Alph sighs. "time to find them i guess." He leaves a note for @wist [#309 🥬 / #614 ☕] (sorry for de ping) that says that they'll be looking for the others.(edited)
(wist pops iris back into existence again)
iris managed to zone out again. great. now everyone was gone, other than sonya and toast talking in the corner. she reads alph’s note. should she try to find the others, too? regroup with them?
…but she felt like she needed the time alone. everyone else had felt out for their fighting abilities, but she was too scared to mess up in front of everyone, especially when they weren’t deep into an immediate threat. and she didn’t want to use her offensive skills again, when she knew the last time she used them was….
yeah, she needed time alone to process this for a couple of moments.
iris walked over to the woods (#the-woods-2), a little lost in her thoughts.

"Okay okay, let's go, my date of the evening~" She teased him as she took his arm, now semi-leading him towards the fire pit to check if anyone made food.

He certainly didn't expect her to take his arm of all things, it surprised him completely. Though he wasn't exactly complaining either. He walked with her, occasionally glancing up at her. Though then her tease caught up to him, "date- date of the evening??"

"Mhm! Unless you want this to have a more casual name, so- Like a friend-date? I mean it's up to you." She smiled down at him. Wait- Did she just refer to this as a friend-date?-
"I don't mind a date-" he said that sentence quickly, maybe a bit too quickly, either way, he had said it, and I doubt you'd be able to get him to say it again. "If- If that's what you'd prefer-"
He had no idea how to feel about this, all he could do was stay his lovely red color, blushing allllll the way to the fire pit.
I'm sorry I'm getting really tired and need a break from rp T^T I should be good tomorrow though!))
Alphie has been gone for awhile and.. so i looked for him and, I saw a glimpse of him, I tried to get to him and ended up back here and.. hic I WANT ALPHIE BACK
The group approaches, Delta in tow! Narrator had abandoned his spear somewhere along the way, choosing instead to offer Alph more support. Now being out of the mist, they were... less likely to pass out or throw up, but it wouldn't be farfetched if either happened. He currently leans on Narrator for support, hesitant to leave his side.
iris was still wide awake since getting out of that… realm. she walked with the others, continuously checking on alph to make sure he didn’t pass out. she hoped trevor, or anyone else, really, wouldn’t see them…(edited)
"A-ah, Moni..." He can barely offer a smile. The creases and wrinkles on his face seem so much more defined, the begs beneath their eyes heavier than ever. They can't offer the comfort they want, not when they're in such a state.
"Monika, he's... a bit unwell, right now." Narrator sighs, looking down at the short girl as he continues supporting Alph's weight.
Oh... shed walk back to her tent and walk back out with the moth plush he gave to her before he left well maybe fluffy can give you as much comfort as he gave me dad... shed set the plush in his arms(edited)

He gives the same shaky smile, if a bit wider. Not by much, but it was all he could muster. They want to cry, again. They were supposed to be the one giving comfort, not receiving it. He... wanted so desperately to believe that he could still offer some, but his head felt like it was about to explode, and he couldn't bring forward any words. *
*They were tired.God, they were tired.He didn't want to be awake, to have to remember these things.
He lets her guide him forward, Narrator following closely behind. Looking behind him, Narrator gives Iris and Delta a nod, a quiet thanks for not digging any deeper. Genuinely, he gained respect for them. After, he enters the tent. "Ah, I think what they need right now is rest, Monika." His voice is gentle. He, too, seemed at peace.
Narrator smiles, somewhat. He was tired too, but even if Alph could've made a portal back, there was no way Narrator would be able to leave him here in good conscience. So, he'd stay the night, and sleep here. Alphonse lays down, getting comfortable on the ground.
Delta had made her way to the edge of the tent setup. She stared off into the wistful wild that she had torn in search of peace, when in reality... It was right here. The tranquility of the forest has always stood as the second of two pillars, the two things that have brought her calm thus far in her many hundreds of years...
03:17
it just... After all she had been through, steam had to escape the valve sooner or later - and she had better thoughts than to harm her loved ones. That is why she left... That is why she did what she did.(edited)
03:18
However, she could not place her hand on one thing: Why had they all come together to find her, these coworkers she had not much Previous experience with?
03:20
with a sigh and a nod to the air, she dismissed the worries of fate and kept staring out into the wilderness, blissfully quieted for a rare moment between her chaotic, painful Existence. For now... Delta was happy.
A nightmare crashed over Zenith, making them be wide awake but not in a way that's sit-up in fear, just their eyes being opened. They focused on the lighting of the tent, dark and blue tinted, was it still night perhaps? Zenith sat up and felt their way to their bag, shuffling the snacks and juices from within to find their phone that was plugged into a powerbank. When they checked the time, they were in slight disbelief, sleeping for almost 20 hours is something that isn't healthy, were they that tired from swimming yesterday? Doesn't matter. Zenith carefully zipped down their tent a little bit, trying to see if anyone is outside, and to see the sky too out of curiousity. Seeing that it was dim and no one is outside yet, they grabbed a wrapped blueberry muffin from the bag and stepped outside. The cool air flooding their senses, yet not enough for them to shiver. They made their way to the lake, just to admire it.
Alph stirs awake moments after Narrator does the same. Their head felt fuzzy and ached, grogginess overtaking them. His sleep wasn't restful, not with how stressed he was just before falling unconscious. The nightmares didn't help either, nor did sleeping on the ground, even if in a sleeping bag. They sigh, sitting up, soon followed by Narrator, who placed a hand on his back gently.

(narry gets to stay for a bit longer yippee)
Alphonse!

"Well... not really. I'll deal, though." Alph smiles. Yes, he was tired, but he had responsibilities. He did feel better after sleeping, though it didn't stop how shaky they continued to be.
"The ground is about as comfortable as I remember it being." Narrator hums. "Which is to say, not very."
Sonya yawns as she woke up, staring blankly at the ceiling of her tent before sitting up, holding her head. She probably stayed up late again and is now just having it catch up to her.
MonikaTheLesbian
hehe, well, shed summon pancakes for them have breakfast :3
"That would be nice." Alph hums, and Narrator shakes his head calmly. The little family has breakfast together . All is well, for once. At least with them.
Delta was still out on the edge of the tents. Seems she hadn't slept all night, which would be bad if it were not an optional action for her. No, today she chose to stay up... To enjoy as much time here as she could Before it was time to go back.
Alphonse and Narrator enjoy their breakfast, but one question nags at Narrator. He wouldn't ask yet, of course, especially not with the risk of others hearing.

Zenith came back, now seeing the previous fellow they met earlier and more people being up. They proceeded to make their breakfast and sit on the lone log, knowing that they have to bring down their tent and leave everything behind. It was oddly bittersweet, they didnt really like going outside but when they did it's a decent experience for them. For Zenith, they outperformed themselves, being able to communicate to the others and not be too anxious on their movements, but soonly it'll all go back to how it was before, which was a problem but quite a shame. Zenith let their thoughts go wild, thought just enough they still know what's going on.
Alphonse!

with one last gaze into the wilderness, Delta resigned to heading back and took for the bus, following behind the others in a much quieter tone than she usually has.
Zenith then finished eating. They went back to their tent, fixed themselves and put on new clothes, stepped outside and put the remaining things inside to the outside, then folds the tent and put it in their bag, going to the remaining bus, no longer questioning the disappearance of the bus they used to be in
Toast was sat on a log not too far from the tents, he was just looking at the sky as night faded in. It was a cold night tonight, so he had his hoodie on, though the bitter wind still bit his cheeks every now and then. They were a soft rosy color, though his eyes were gray and dazed, as if he wasn't fully there. He just stared at the clouds, thinking of memories.
After Sonya was all packed up, she noticed that Toast was still there. She was surprised to see that she wasn't alone but took it as a sign of fate. Her heart fluttered excitedly a bit, knowing that this was a great opportunity for her to hang out with him. With very little hesitation, she approached him quietly, holding her stuff close as she smiled ever so warmly. "Hello, Charlie, are you alone?"
He immediately jumped and spun around, looking tense. "AA-aaAaaa- S-Sonya!" he shouted, though by the time he had said her name, it seemed he was relieved it was just her. "Oh you- Sonya, sorry- I didn't know anyone else was here," he said, seeming out of breath as he talked.
She made a few chuckles, crossing her arms at him as she tilts her head. "Well I wasn't expecting to be seeing anyone else here myself. Especially since the last call for the buses was maybe a couple hours ago." Her smile faltered, her anxiety forming as she realized that they had to walk back to the office in the dark.
He looked confused, "but my phone didn't- oh- I had no idea, how long have I been out here?" He rubbed his eyes, the haze now fading away. Turns out his phone's battery was dead, that's why he didn't get anything. Charlie looked back over at her, noticing her change of mood, though for now he said nothing about it, maybe he could lighten the mood? "I um- well that's alright, maybe it was a good thing we both missed them."
"I guess... It would have been nicer to have ridden the bus with you though." She made a small pout then turned towards the trail to the that lead to the camp. "I'm kind of disappointed that they left us behind. But hey, that gives us an excuse to be together alone~" She looked back at him, teasing a little with small cheeky grin on her face.
He flushed at this comment, rolling his eyes with a huff. "Oh you- what are you going to kidnap me now?" he decided to backfire this flirt on her, "you gonna murder me and hide the body out here?" He started laughing, maybe he had a bit of a dark humor.
Her face dropped a bit, mostly out of sheer shock. "I- What no- I would never hurt you..." She didn't know how to react to the retort, let alone the fact that he was laughing. Maybe this was a sick joke because he was tired, yes, he was tired because it's late and now he's being a bit weird.
Charlie's laugh seemingly faded at this, his face turning to question and confusion. Did he go too far? "I- Sonya no no I didn't mean it like that," he softly smiled, trying to reassure her, "I was joking, sorry I just- I haven't really talked to people- in a very long time, so my er- I may say things that are a bit crude."
"Oh, I see... It's also getting late and I don't know how long you have been up so maybe you're tired? I mean if you're tired, I can carry you on my back. I wouldn't mind that at all." She smiled again, feeling relieved to see the Charlie she knows is still there with her. "Now, should we take a scenic route to the office or travel the road until we can hitchhike?"
Charlie immediately shook his head to her first offer, "no! If anything I'll be the one carrying you, and I'm not tired so- just- yeah I'm not tired." Great defense Charlie. He rubbed his face, sighing a bit before answering her last question. "I say the scenic route will be best, a bit more private, yes?" he smiled a bit, finally starting to recover from his- whatever state he was in earlier.
"Huh? You rather carry me around?" Her face turned red in surprise and embarrassment, making her turn away a bit from him as she covered her face with both hands. He's too cute! She took some time to recuperate herself as she looked at him again, keeping a rather flustered look on her face.
He chuckled at her reaction, oh it was adorable. It reminded him of a puppy, a puppy who just got booped on the nose for the very first time. He wanted to protect her, he needed to protect her. She was too precious for this world. He wondered how she would react if he kis- "Aha! We should get going yes?" he seemed to shake himself out of a little daze, he was focusing on every little facial feature of her face, and when he realized he was, he startled himself.
She perk up at his exclamation, nodding almost immediately as she smiled. "Y-Yeah. Let's go. Hey maybe we can find a really pretty location on our way and take a couple photos together! That way we have something to remind us of each other when we're apart! Course, I'll have to set up the pictures since your phone is dead so..." She blushed again, scratching at her cheek while thinking it over. She could also possibly have a picture printed out and put it in a frame on her desk. Yes, the perfect idea.(edited)
He flushed at this, his eyes going wide. She wanted a picture? A picture of them both? Oh he can't remember the last time he took a picture with someone, let alone of himself. Would it be dangerous? It was basically a printed time stamp that he existed... Then again, this was Sonya, he could trust her. "Yes, I'd love to do that," he said after a moment, the blush he had splattered all over his face, neck, and ears. He grabbed his backpack from the ground, hoisting it over his shoulder. "You wouldn't mind if I... get a printed copy of the picture?" he asked, flushing a little. He had already started walking, though it was a slow pace so Sonya could catch up.
"Oh! Of course not! I actually had the same idea." She giggled happily, now walking to catch up with Toast. "I uh... Just didn't want to admit it because I was worried you'd hate the idea of me having a picture of us together..." She admitted, feeling rather embarrassed by her confession, but she brighted up immediately. "So knowing that you'd want one to cleared my worries! But if we're both getting printed photos, this has to be the perfect photo."
He smiled, looking over to her with a small smile. Oh she was cute. "Well I'm not one for pictures, I'll just make an exception for you, mask on though, okay?" he asked, feeling a little pressure of nervousness weigh onto his chest. He didn't want people figuring out what his whole face looked like. "Why do you want a picture of the both of us, hm? Enjoying my company?"
"Why yes, I do enjoy your company. You are very special to me and I would search the ends of the earth to find you if you disappeared. You're the only one I really have, I would be a fool if I took it for granted at all." She gave a semi-sad smile to him, leaning on him as they walked together. She then started thinking about the scenario where he did disappear and she couldn't find him, she didn't like that thought. She snapped herself out of it, moving her hand to attempt at taking his hand in her's, wanting to soothe the leftover anxiety that hadn't left her mind yet.
Charlie looked up at her, a sad look in his eyes. He was very much complimented, the hue on his cheeks spreading farther on his skin, it even turned a darker shade of red. He didn't know how to respond in truth, he had never heard anyone say something like that to him before, and it made his heart dance. Though, when he felt her hand, his breath hitched. He looked down at their hands immediately, nervously fiddling with his fingers as he contemplated what he was going to do. Eventually he got the courage, and decided to do a little something else for her. He wrapped his arm around her waist, smiling lightly at her. "I would never do that to you."
Sonya was surprised when Charlie's arm wrapped around her waist, making her face heat up more as she looked down at him. She didn't expect this at all, but it was more than what she could have asked for. She soon gathered up some courage and comfortably pulled herself closer to Charlie as her smile widened, resting her head on his. "I hope you never do... I would probably die of heartbreak and loneliness if you left me."
He smiled at this, deciding to take the duty of guiding them as they walked, as this position wasn't exactly the best for walking, but it was comfortable. "Heartbreak?" he teased her, "I sure hope you haven't fallen in love with me already." He had a sly expression in his eyes, even if he couldn't turn his head to look up at her, it was obvious it was there.
Her eyes went wide as she pulled her head away, face even more red as she tried to play it off. "O-oh! D-D-Did I really say heartbreak? I- Uh-" She couldn't properly respond to him, stuttering her way through. She then fell silent, keeping her head low as she felt the tears build in her eyes, she didn't want to embarrass herself in front of him but it was so hard to hide it when they were so close together.
Oh this poor bean T^T This poor innocent bean! I wanna protect her!))
23:31
Charlie was about to start teasing her more, but when he noticed her expression and how she hung her head, he immediately grew worried. Did he say something wrong? "I- Sorry- if that was a little straight forward," he said with a nervous laugh, looking back in front of him to focus on the path, "I don't mean to upset you in any way."
"Not at all... I uh- Nevermind, I don't think I can explain..." She wiped her eyes, sighing as she stood straight again. She didn't know how to tell him just how much he meant to her. Sure, it was awkward to like someone you worked with but she could completely understand how it could happen. She decided to save it for another time, maybe went they weren't wandering in the dark.
Charlie nodded his head, "it's alright, I understand that. Are you alright?" He wanted to make sure she was okay, she meant a lot to him, even if he didn't exactly know why, he.. started noticing things about her. He noticed how nice and caring she was, how she would give up her own sanity for other people. He did things he would have never even thought of, and he saw her as a brave individual for that. He gave a small squeeze to her side, in hopes everything he just thought could somehow be transferred through his touch, though sadly, that's not how socializing works.
She squeaks when her waist was squeezed, jolting a bit before she looked down at Charlie embarrassed. "I'm fine! Just don't do that, it felt weird!" She warned then turned her head away, not wanting him to look at her face. It was so hard to still the pounding in her heart when she was near him. He was so kind to her and even stuck around when she was being a bit weird and excited over little things.
Charlie smiled when he heard her squeak, feeling a couple little chuckles leave his mouth. When she turned away, he knew it was his chance to tease her once more, maybe not too hard, just to... tch tch tch, take the devil's advice? He slowly came to a stop, stopping her as well, though it was so subtle it had barely gone noticed. He used his hand to gently hold the tip of her chin, nudging it to face him, and just tilting it a little to the side. He smiled at her, looking over her adorably flushed out cheeks. He would have never done this if they weren't right here, right now, at this exact time. He had confidence, and he knew that future him would no longer have the guts to do it.
She was mesmerized, barely aware of being slowed down to a stop before she felt his hand on her chin, pulling her gently to look at him. Her heart soared higher than before as she locked eyes with him, her cheeks flushing even more. "Charlie?... What's all this about?" Her head was screaming as she internally tried to process what was going on. It was all too fast for her but she couldn't deny that she was ecstatic. She could only offer an amused but shy smile as she waited, anticipation tugging at her heartstrings.
although most of the employees had returned to the office, louie happened to find the wilderness really soothing and late and night, he left his tent to go lie down and watch the stars
00:21
he popped in his earbuds, pressed play, and looked up at the night sky. The moon was beautiful(edited)
Charlie could only stare at her, oh she was... so pretty. He lifted his other hand to cup her cheek, twirling her hair in between his fingers. He hummed, tilting his head to the side as well. "I think I-" he stopped himself mid-sentence, everything being followed with a second of dead silence and then a small little click. "GET DOWN!" he immediately shouted, though he already responded to his command for Sonya, and quickly grabbed her and got her onto the ground. He used himself to cover her, staying on top of her to make sure anything that followed afterwards wouldn't run into her. It all happened so quickly, before Sonya knew it, a gun shot followed and Charlie was pulled off of Sonya. It was completely dark out, so all Sonya could see was the moonlight highlighting swift movements and trees. "Sonya! Run-! Run!" Toast shouted once again, sometimes he calls being muffled, "go! I'll be fine! Run!"
Her mind snapped blank, not even processing what occurred. She soon realized that she was on the ground and being told that she had to run. Was that a gunshot earlier? If it was, she instinctually knew she had no seconds to spare as she scrambled back onto her feet. Her head rang madly, probably from hitting it when she was pushed to the ground. She felt helpless, running through the woods from something she couldn't stop or even do anything against. Once she found herself on the edge of the woods by the camp, she finally had time to process what just happened. What even happened? What was that? And... She made the devastating realization that Charlie was gone. Her eyes overflowed with tears as she sobbed, falling onto her knees in exhaustion. This couldn't be happening, she wouldn't believe that it happened.(edited)
