    "Does this huge musclehead happen to be named Sean?" Emalynn asked, then she continued, "Because if he is, then you're in luck. He's assigned to my cabin. Cabin D." 'D for Dick!' Stratana snapped and insult inside her head. This fortune was certainly going to be to her advantage, because her revenge didn't need to depend on her retrieving her bag during it; she could just probably get Emalynn's help in getting that job done. "What do you say?" Stratana extended out one hand for Emalynn to take. "Partners for now?" She asked interestedly.

    "HOLY FUCKING FUCKER FUCKING IN FUCKING FUCKERTON! WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?! who the fuck set that up....man I gotta stop fucking swearing"
    Aislin woke up and immediately hid away her iPod shuffle which she had turned off before she passed out the night before. Aislin sat up in her bed afterwards and looked around at the screaming individual, expecting it to be a camper, only to find out it was Julius. She looked around the cabin and bit her lip, "Y-you only do that during unexpected alarms... right?"
    Aislin tried to recall the night before. She remembered eating dinner and then going back for secret time only to find out Julius didn't care if they did it or not. She didn't care really, but was a little disappointed that they all didn't use the chance to bond.
    Aislin looked around the cabin at the others still there and saw one of them was already gone. She tiredly crawled out of bed , yawned, then stretched. She decided to wait for others that might or might not wake up. Aislin turned back over to Julius and spoke, "Because if you do that every time you set an alarm. I am sleeping outside of the cabin."

    "What do you say? Partners for now?" the redhead asked with one hand out for Emalynn to shake. Partners? Ha, yeah right. Like I'm going to let you drag me down with you. Emalynn decided that the best way to handle situation was to play dumb. This way she could find out more.

    "Partners for what? You still haven't told me what happened," she replied. You haven't told me your name either. How disorganized must you be to forget to introduce yourself. "At this point all I really know is that you're looking for Sean," Emalynn explained.

    "Even then, the most I could do is show you to our cabin. What more could I possibly do from there?" Emalynn continued. That was a lie. There was much more that she could do to potentially help the girl, but she wasn't willing to, that's all. Why would I dirty my hands, when you're already willing to yourself? "I'm going back to the cabin now, you could come with me if you want to," she offered, "but in that state, I doubt it." She gestured to how the girl was 'dressed.'

    "Look, we're going to be late for breakfast if we continue talking here. We can continue discussing this at the Mess Hall, or you could just stop by our cabin later, okay?" And with that Emalynn walked out of the washrooms. She imagined that the redhead with go with the latter option. It would take real courage to discuss something like this with so many people around in the Mess Hall. If she did, it would surely be impressive. Back at her cabin, Emalynn dropped off her bag and left again to breakfast.

    Once at the Mess Hall, she quickly grabbed an apple and looked around for an empty seat. The first open seat she saw was one by a group of campers, one guy and two girls, one of which was sporting outrageously blue hair. Regardless, Emalynn walked up the group and pulled the chair out. Before sitting down she asked the group politely, "Is anyone sitting here?"

    Upon hearing the words of Aislin words Julius looked over at her and let out a small chuckle as he closed his eye and scratched the back of his head "Come now, a kiddo like you shouldn't be sleepin outdoors unless we are actually camping outdoors" Julius said as he grinned "besides it's be ridiculous if I did that for every alarm I set. I'd be bankrupt from buying an alarm each time" Julius said let out a small chuckle.

    What Julius found cute about the girl was the fact that she believed things would be normal in this cabin. Julius' life was filled with shenanigans and he really doubt that would have changed when it came with this camp. Regardless he wondered whatever crazy stuff would occur and he really wondered if his sanity could stand it. "well then I'm starving, I'm heading off to get ready for breakfast" Julius said

    Aislin listened to Julius speak and had sighed. She hadn't meant exactly that reaction, she meant the screaming in the morning. She knew she would never get accustomed to loud noises and if she had to hear that crap every morning she would quickly get annoyed. She would rather be awoken by a bucket of water or someone practicing their instrument in the morning before an extremely loud fuck rap.

    "Well then I'm starving, I'm heading off to get ready for breakfast"
    Aislin didn't feel like she was... well. starving. But she did feel hungry. She nodded in an agreement and then spoke, "Me too." she didn't have much more to say so she grabbed her clothes and put it in a bag along with a toothbrush and hairbrush. She had no plans on heading back to the cabin until after breakfast so she would just carry it with her until then.
    After she had gotten changed in the bathrooms she headed over to the Mess Hall. The layout was buffet style so she grabbed what she pleased, which mainly consisted of meat. She was looking for a table to sit at when her eyes drifted over towards the stage. On stage at this point was someone singing their own song in a country style. She was very fond of original songs and it kept her distracted.
    She walked a couple steps forward before she tripped over her own two feet. She managed to slide the tray onto a nearby table, keeping food from flying everywhere, but Aislin still went down onto the floor. It took her a moment before she was able to stand up. She wasn't hurt but she was thrown off from the fall. Lovely, Aislin... Just lovely...

    Breakfast for Alex went by without too much of a hitch, there was a small incident where he dropped his knife, but it wasn't using it at the moment so it didn't matter to much. Besides, one he had his pancakes set up the way he wanted them, he wasn't concerned about the fork anymore. When they were all gone, he put up his plate with the rest of them and walked out.
    As he was walking, he remember what Kevin said about the treasure hunt being today now. They were never given a specific time, but that's why they announced things like that, so they would know when it was time to do said event. He figured that he had some time to kill before it started so he started to think of options of what he could do. A, he could always head back to the cabin, although since he ate before everyone else did he wouldn't have much to do in there. Option B was to take a look around the camp, maybe take a look at some of the other cabins. No one said that he could do that anyway.
    Alex gave both options some thought before eventually going with B. Since he was grouped with them, he would have plenty of chances to talk with them. First things first, h needed a place to start at. Figuring the camp circle to be a good place to start, that's where he went. Once he was there, he took a quick look around to see which way should he go now.

    xxxx Clothes Location Cabin C/Mess Hall Mood Curious OOC Aha. Shame. Will link clothes next post

    Upon waking Sam noticed most of the campers already out or still sleeping, allowing her to slip out and take a shower without the need to talk. Once that was done it was to the dinning hall where some waffles and eggs were gotten but she did not sit down right away. Instead it was intel time.

    The blond talked to some adults in the line and elsewhere. She had an interesting 'rumor' to ask about. Something about manslaughter. When they asked why she said it was just something she heard and names were left out. Even so, by the end of conserving with a small group nothing was found out.

    She sat down filled with the feeling of failure. At least the feeling was ignored as she ate and looked around, spotting her students and a few others, though nothing out of the ordinary by the time she got there.

    [/url] "May I sit with you guys?" Shouta heard another girl's voice. He looked up, seeing Elisa.


    "Sure." Shouta said. After a while of silence as they ate, Shouta wondered out loud, "What are we gonna do today?" He vaguely remembered something about a scavenger hunt that night, but there was lots of time to kill. What should I do? There were many options for Shouta to kill time. He decided that he was going to take a walk around the beach.

    "I'm going to the beach for a walk." He said to the other two, "Would you guys like the come along?" It doesn't hurt to ask. Besides, he was actually trying to make friends. Especially since he had recently moved schools AGAIN, leaving all his old friends behind. His parents traveled all over Japan for work. Shouta was dragged along because he was still a minor and technically couldn't live alone. Plus, his parents were slight helicopter parents.

    Shouta got up to bring the tray of empty dishes back to the counter, offering to take the girls' trays too. Returning to his seat, he waited for their answers.

    Day 2OOTD ♪ Mood: slightly annoyed ♪ OOC: n/a

    Emalynn stood for awhile, waiting to see if anyone would say anything. She hadn't asked in a particularly quiet voice- it should have been audible. But even if they didn't hear her, wouldn't a hovering shadow above them catch their attention? Whatever. She had to refrain herself from rolling her eyes. In her head she was reminding herself that first impressions were important. Emalynn sat down in the seat, considering their silence to be consent. She took a bite out of her apple and chewed quietly.

    "What are we gonna do today?" the boy at the table asked. There's a scavenger hunt planned for today, genius. Kevin had made such a big deal out of it and everyone was groaning about it yesterday. It was sort of hard to forget. "I'm going to the beach for a walk. Would you guys like the come along?" he was addressing the other two girls, obviously. Naturally, because he didn't even notice her sit down.

    We have a scavenger hunt today. Even if we have time between breakfast and then, you're really going to waste your energy? At this point, Emalynn was curious as what the other two girls would say. Are they really going to go with him? She wasn't eavesdropping, of course. She was sitting right next to them. Who wouldn't be able to hear their conversation when they were talking so freely?

    She took another bite out of her apple, looking straight ahead, but curious to hear what the other girls would say.

    Alexandra jumped when the boy had hear her supposed "internal whining". She blushed, embarrassed, and was offered a seat. "Oh... Thank you..." Alexandra said, in almost a whisper.

    As she sat and ate, she couldn't help but feel like a conversation was in store. She wasn't so comfortable around strangers, but this guy couldn't be that bad if he had offered her a seat. "So... Um... What's your name?" She asked, still fairly quiet, but a bit louder than when she had said thank you. It was then that another girl showed up.

    "Sorry to interrupt, but mind if I join you?"

    "I-I'm sure that would be okay..." Alexandra said, sinking into her chair slightly. "Great... And just when I was starting to feel okay around this guy..."

    • • •​

    They ate for a while, and the guy offered to go for a walk. "Ummm... Sure. That's sounds nice." Alexandra said with a tiny smile.

    [/url] Only when Shouta got up, he noticed that another girl was sitting at the table. The brunette silently ate her breakfast, avoiding eye contact with anyone. "Um..." Shouta asked. "Would you like to come with us?"


    Once again, he had no idea why he actually spoke up. He didn't even know who she was in the first place. Obviously she was a camper, but other than that, nothing.

    While he waited for the others to finish up, he asked them about what instruments they played. "I play bass and guitar, as well as vocals. I'm mainly into rock music."

    One of his goals here at Fortissimo was to start a rock band. Even though the members would most likely be far apart, they can still do band covers like the ones on YouTube. Shouta never got the chance to ask people to make a band with him. His "friends" were just people he hung out with and killed time with, but he's never had any close friends. Shouta hasn't really bumped into anyone who played an instrument he needed in a band.

    Day 2OOTD ♪ Mood: Amused ♪ OOC: n/a

    Emalynn sat listening to the morning performance, which wasn't so great. It was a bunch of girls singing some pop song by a boyband named . . . One Dimension . . . ? That didn't sound right; not like she cared. Emalynn wasn't interested in pop music anyway.

    It wasn't until she was halfway done her apple that someone in the group noticed her sitting there. Feeling like she was being watched, Emalynn turned her head in that direction. "Um...Would you like to come with us?" the boy asked. Emalynn had to bite her tongue to stop herself from laughing. You're kidding me, right? She smiled at the boy.

    "No it's fine. Maybe some other time," she replied. You know, when there isn't a huge event planned that will drain all of our energy. She took another bite out of her apple. Now that she was actually acknowledge she decided to converse with them for a bit. The boy asked what instruments they played. Emalynn waited to finish chewing before replying.

    "I play piano," she explained, "and am working towards composing." She was about to take another bite out of her apple, when she remembered that she hadn't introduced herself yet. That redhead's habits had rubbed onto her already. "Oh, I almost forgot. I'm Emalynn."

    Alexandra listened to Emalynn talk. "Hi. I'm Alexandra..." She introduced. "I play electric guitar. I'm not pro, but I've been playing for about two years now, and I've been told that I'm pretty good..."

    "Hi. I'm Alexandra..." She introduced. "I play electric guitar. I'm not pro, but I've been playing for about two years now, and I've been told that I'm pretty good..."

    "Shouta." He introduced himself again, in case one of the girls didn't hear his name. "Alrighty then, let's head out. I'm getting tired of just sitting here and doing nothing." Shouta got up. "See you, Emalynn."

    Lexi and Shouta headed over to the beach. The waves were small, making quiet wooshing sounds. The sky was pretty much cloudless and there was a slight breeze. Just perfect. Shouta hoped that someday, he would be able to take his partner on a date to the beach and the day would be exactly like this.

    Shouta took off his shoes and socks, so that sand won't get on them. Barefooted, they walked along the shoreline for a bit. The water lapped at Shouta's toes. This felt perfect.

    Location: Washroom, circle<>Clothes (See previous post)<>Song<>Mood: Nervous<>OOC: If there's a problem with bringing in Kevin, tell me and I'll alter the post.​
    Stratana listened to what Emalynn had to say and frowned on the inside; she didn't really know if this girl took her seriously, and maybe she didn't have such an asset as she thought. Oh well, she'd take what she could get. For now, she had to get something to wear besides a towel, but Emalynn left before she could send her to fetch something/one for such a purpose. She gulped. Stuck again, to a degree. But the mix of hunger and wanting desperately to get out of the washroom at last pressed her to go out into broad daylight with nothing but a towel and searchful eyes. She clung the beach towel tighter than ever; not a single glimmer of her could become visible at any time.
    Fortunately, she happened to see Kevin out in the circle, and despite her not wanting to go somewhere so much in plain view, having kept to the trees for the most part, Kevin, no matter how eternally perky, was her only hope of getting somewhere.
    "Oh! Um, sorry, Hey! Soooo-" Stratana giggled nervously, "I happened to lose my bag... and I kind of... don't have any actual clothes."

    Alice Requiem
    Location: Mess Hall<>Clothes<>Song<>Mood: Elated<>OOC:

    Alice became acquainted with the others she had sat with, and gave her own name sometime before most of them departed for the beach. For the most part though, she'd been eating too much to directly socialize. Nibbling away at her croissant, Alice turned to Emalynn and thought it best to start a conversation.

    "Excited as much as I am for the scavenger hunt tonight?" Alice asked with a little bit of sarcasm in her voice. She made out like she was about to sob and made a goofy "sad" face. "I'm probably going to die." She laughed aloud. Scavenger hunts had not always panned out well for her. It was a mix of the fact it was during the night and thereby easy to frighten outside; she tolerated the night inside, but outside was rarely seen under the moon, and the fact everything was usually on the ground and she was usually further than anyone else from it. There was one year she found a necklace hanging on a tree limb that only she could reach, as if it were meant for her. In fact, she wore it that very day: a little golden chain with a dangling white-silver pendent in the shape of a rabbit foot. Alice thought for a moment... Sebastian had pointed it out to her. The memories of that night...

    A dreamy appearance had come to her face and she shook it off as she waited for Emalynn answer by gobbling up some forkfuls of scrambled eggs.

    Day 2OOTD ♪ Mood: Indifferent ♪ OOC: n/a

    Everything got quiet once Alexandra and Shouta left. Emalynn wasn't complaining though, some quiet time was rather nice after the morning of odd events. She sighed, Maybe I'll finally get some time to think to myse-
    She spoke too soon. One girl nearby decided to turn to Emalynn for conversation. She introduced herself earlier, and Emalynn believed that her name was Alice, but she wasn't all that certain.

    "Excited as much as I am for the scavenger hunt tonight?" the girl asked in a somewhat sarcastic tone. Before continuing the girl made some over-exaggerated facial expressions. Completely unnecessary; thank you very much. "I'm probably going to die," Alice stated. Note to self: Do not rely on Alice for anything like this.

    Before Emalynn said anything, Alice seemed to be lost in a daydream. The girl shook her head and resorted to playing with her food. How immature. She would never say this aloud, of course. After all, it was just their first conversation. Instead, she just replied with a smile by saying, "Just as excited as everyone else in this room." She gestured to the rest of the Mess Hall.

    Emalynn took one last bite out of her apple and waited to see how Alice would reply.

    Alice viewed Emalynn with scrutiny. Something about the girl told her Emalynn was forcing something back, so she figured that maybe she was bothering her somehow. Alice was superb at being able to tell a truth from a lie, and this girl was lying in her mannerisms, but when Emalynn gave a return of "Just as excited as everyone else in this room." While she gestured to the rest of the Mess Hall, Alice couldn't stifle a giggle. 'Okay, so a stick in the mud, but not totally.' Alice thought to herself.

    "I have things pretty bad though. Nighttime sets me on an automatic Standby Mode, so, yeah, I won't be of much use during the Hunt, but I still want to try." It was her perseverance that defined her, especially since she'd have probably taken her own life years ago if not for the fact; she grew from her sorrows and pains. "I don't want to be seen as "Useless". I care about people, even though generally they're pretty deplorable."

    Such was her response, as she finished off her eggs solemnly, thinking of all the times she had been called useless. "We'll call you when we need a cat out of a tree, Ginormica." Came to mind instantly.

    [​IMG]xx[​IMG] !!x[​IMG]!! xxxxxxxxxx

    The morning had gone by rather ... blandly. A delicious and filling breakfast was had, and Noëlle ate quietly at her group's table. It wasn't often that she strayed from it, desiring maximum bonding time. Acquaintances were nice, but real friends were better...not that she had many. She hated the cliques that seemed to form over the summer. Some of them would die out while others would last and build through the year. They all thought they were so close, from their camp together, and no matter how split between the groups they were -- they would find each other during activities and meals. Annoying.


    After breakfast, she returned to Cabin C and took a seat on her bed. Finally it was journal time! Because the Scavenger Hunt was later in the night, day activities would be mild. That gave her until lunch time (and then dinner) to get caught up with her writing. Thankfully, no one else seemed to be in the cabin, and anyone who came in later would hopefully not bother her.

    JOURNAL #15 PAGE 158 DATE - 6.16.13

    [​IMG]
    Guess where I am? CAMP! Yes, yes. I'm pretty excited about this year. It feels ... promising, in a way. Timothy is a counselor and ... well, I didn't get put into his cabin, but that's okay. I've seen him pretty often around camp this year. It's a great comfort to have someone around who you're so close to.

    Thing is, I was really hoping to get him. I can't help but be really disappointed about that. I have something that I want to give him. I actually think it's a bit of bullshit, but you know. There's rumor going around that if you share this weird potion with someone you love, they'll love you back. I'm not usually one to believe in something so shady, but it's apparently near impossible to find the website you order it from. ...Somehow, I did? It just appeared in my bookmarks one day. I mean, if that's not a sign ...

    Maybe it won't make him fall in love with me but there has to be a reason I was able to find and purchase it.

    The thing itself is kind of cute. It comes in this adorable little glass bottle with a stopper at the top that's shaped like a heart. It's called Cupid's Brew. Cost me quite a bit. Maybe it's an aphrodisiac. Ooh, that's kind of exciting. Maybe he won't fall in love with me, but him wanting me -- even in that moment -- is enough.

    I wish I weren't at camp, I could do with some relief now.

    On a more innocent note, I kind of hate the cabin that I was put in. Let's give you a run down.

    My counselor, Tammy, is totally lazy. I guess she's 'cool' and whatever but she doesn't seem very ... enthusiastic? I always wonder why people like that take a job like this.

    There's this chick here who I'll call Hot Pink. She is kind of crazy. Won't say why exactly, but she seems kind of bi-polar. Yesterday she got to the cabin way late, and totally ignored all of us. Not even a hello. During Secret Time, she shared something mega nutso, cried, and then hopped into bed like it was all gravy. Ignored the comfort I tried to provide, too. Maybe she's just a rude bitch, but I'unno. Today at breakfast she didn't sit with the group. She could be lying about what she shared and is just an airhead, but...

    Then there's Vivian, who is kind of... Weird. I don't know how to describe her. I've met her before this. She always gives off this 'I'm judging you' feeling like she's some kind of princess, which is total bull because I don't know what makes her such hot shit that she feels justified to go around judging people. I hate people like that, but I don't always dislike her. Sometimes she's normal? She just has this weird thing about her... I can't say much more on her. She's stayed out of everything lately. Didn't share during Secret Time or anything.

    Last one I don't even know. I'll call her Bunny. First thing she did was start playing her keyboard obnoxiously. Asked me a weird 'what are you in for' question yesterday and didn't follow up on it. Made me feel like we were in prison.

    Yep. Fate made the mistake of throwing me in with a bunch of girls, none of whom are very interesting or inspiring. I found Castle last night, though, which was great. She actually has a personality!! Despite all of her ... darkness, and her tallness, she's very sweet. Kind of scatterbrained, but nice and somewhat bubbly. I found out she has an underwater fetish, which gave me some ideas on what to do with Timothy if the potion really is an aphrodisiac.

    Sigh.

    Going to lunch now. Will write later.

    Lunch was just as uninspiring. Camp sucked so far, with the group she was in, but Noëlle kept putting off her talk with a camp leader to switch cabins. It seemed...whiny. She wasn't usually one to whine, at least not to someone's face. Quite a bit set her off and if she voiced it each and every time quite a few problems would be caused. Her journal was her only outlet.

    Tonight was the night of the Scavenger Hunt. Maybe, if tonight went terrible, she would ask to change cabins.

    As usual, everyone gathered at the Camp Circle and prepared for a Camp Leader to speak. The fire was going tonight, and smoke plumed high into the atmosphere, stinging at Noëlle's nose and reminding her of the last time she had a smoke. A few bold campers sat in front of the fire, roasting home-brought marshmallows above the flames and chatting away loudly, while another group sat around singing songs. Some groups had paint on their faces and headbands or scarfs given to them by their camp counselors. Noëlle's eyes narrowed quietly at Sam.

    Finally, the sound of drums interrupted the fraternizing. They were beaten heavily from somewhere within the forest, and while everyone new turned to stare into the trees curiously, Noëlle set her turquoise gaze on Bryan. Her heart ached and she moved her eyes through the crowd to find Jack.

    Kevin weaved his way through the cheering crowd, his face illuminated by the flickering flames and the muscles in his arms glistening with a thin layer of sweat as he beat down on the drum he carried and circled once around the fire. His brown eyes flashed.

    Good evening, campers!

    His voice sounded nicer without the distortion of the mic. He spun one of the drumsticks in his hand and grinned enthusiastically...as always. Seeing him reminded Noëlle to ask Alice if she had gotten a new cabin yet. She was still sitting with Cabin C, so she assumed not.

    Welcome to the Scavenger Hunt! This year has been made EXTRA special for you guys, which is why it was postponed until tonight. For all of you NEWBIES, tonight is a night that will shape your entireeeee camp experience~! Basically, there are a few of us leaders out here, Kevin drummed a familiar rhythm and the same rhythm echoed back to him six or seven times from different places in the woods, some sounding quite far.and our goal is to stop you little camp rascals from progressing! The game ends for your group once your camp counselor is tagged with spray paint! Up until that point, your mission is to protect your counselor and gather what you find for your group. Anything you find can be kept until the end of camp.

    There are some rules, kiddos. If you're tagged with spray paint, but your counselor is safe, your group may progress but you must come back to the Camp Circle. The second, please don't fight over what you find! If another group has something you'd like, oh well. Don't be a poor sport. Thirdly, we take cries for help very seriously. Please don't needlessly cry out for assistance. Only ask for help if you need it!

    Everyone gets a flashlight. If you're ever in a situation where your light goes out, please find another group to return to camp with. Do not try to make it back through the dark on your own.

    NO FOOD in the forest! At all, guys! This is very serious. Unless you'd like the be mauled by a bear, be careful. On top of that, if you come into contact with a violent animal, your counselor will have a can of mace. Call for help when you can and don't make any sudden movements.

    For you counselors, taking attendance before we start and after is a MUST.


    Kevin dragged on for a bit, elaborating on some of the points made.

    Alright! While flashlights are being distributed, please take attendance and get ready to start. The last team standing will get a very special surprise! Good luck!

    By the time he was required to go to lunch, Alex had decided to take a look at Cabin B. He didn't get to see much though, since by the time he got there, it was lunch time. Guess I'll be using the scavenger hunt as a way to look around then. Made perfect sense for him to do that. Usually hunting implied looking around and since it was a scavenger hunt, objects would be hidden it places for them to find. It was the perfect and easiest way to complete his goal with little trouble.
    Back in the dinning hall, he chose to get something simple again as he listen to Kevin speak.

    Okay, was this a scavenger hunt, or a paintball game. He definitely wasn't expecting something like that, though he didn't worry about it too much. It all depended on how well his group worked together and if they could plan anything out or not. Most of the rules that were said made sense. It was possible that some groups would fight over one thing, though that distraction could work well for others.

    This however he wasn't worried to much about. It wasn't a matter that he wasn't crazy enough to sneak food into the woods, it was more like he was confident that Julius could handle the situation. That eye patch of his had to mean something about him.
    Alright! While flashlights are being distributed, please take attendance and get ready to start. The last team standing will get a very special surprise! Good luck!
    Now all he would have to wait for was Julius to count up everyone in his Cabin and grab a flashlight before going out and searching.

    Surveying[/url] his surroundings with sparkling green eyes, Richie focused at the counselor Kevin in front of him. He sighed and adjusted his oversized, thin mint green sweater. He checked his black shorts and pair of hightop Converse for any imperfections. He had to look nice for this scavenger hunt since you never know whose eye you could catch, right? His eyes diverted to Bryan, his group leader. Oh boy he was fine! He had caught Richie's eye last year when he first came to Camp Fortissimo. At first he was reluctant to go; he'd already spent a whole school year at Fortissimo Academy, and he had to spend his summer stuck there too?! But, as it turned out, the whole camp experience wasn't so bad and he actually enjoyed himself. Plus, he made some new friends along the way! But none of them seemed to be attending the camp this year, unfortunately. It had been a while since Richie had any friends, because of his disorder. Thankfully though, his parents finally agreed to get him the therapy he needed... but with it came the pills. Oh how he hated the pills.


    Richie reached into his back pocket and pulled out a small medicine bottle full of those horrid things. He tentatively picked one out and quickly popped it in his mouth. He swallowed and stuck his tongue in disgust immediately afterwards. The pills themselves had no flavor, but he simply hated the feel of it sliding down his throat. Ugh, at least he was getting better though. Putting the bottle back into his pocket, he looked back to Kevin who had just finished speaking. "What'd he say...?" he asked himself. Wiping some sweat off his forehead, Richie shrugged and saw flashlights being passed around. Oh right, the scavenger hunt! Richie looked around to his fellow teammates, who seemed like a unique bunch. Perhaps this year won't be so bad as well...!
