[closed] So here's to drinks in the dark at the end of my road

Date & Time: forward dated: Friday 22nd – Sunday 24th March
Location: a fair way into the Outlands
Characters:
Asami Sato [personal profile] chittybang, Cedric Diggory [personal profile] theboywhodied, Collette [personal profile] whatsupcroc, Ellie Linton [personal profile] reconnaissance, Fi Maxwell [personal profile] burnsinvisibly, Katniss Everdeen [personal profile] accidentalrebellion, Mitsuki Ishikawa [personal profile] drowns, Peter Parker [personal profile] arachnoid, Steph Brown [personal profile] controlledvariable
Summary: Nine teenagers with varying degrees of trauma decide to go camping.
(Actually, eight teenagers get bullied into going camping by Ellie.)
Warnings: Not sure yet; I'll add them as they come up. At the very least some language, and fallout from PTSD.



Ellie had found the place once before on her wandering into the Outlands; a dilapidated old barn, with stone walls and a roof that was, by some miracle, completely intact despite all the evidence of nature clambering up its walls and trying to reclaim it for the land. There's a hill leading down to it, and if you follow that hill down, you meet the woods, a big lake. It's beautiful, she thinks. Nowhere near so wild as Hell, but that was better.

Finding that place had been how it started, before thinking about getting some of the others together had kicked in. A way to unwind, after the body swap. At the very least a chance to get some decent people all together in the same place (and maybe a way to apologise to Asami for pointing a gun at her that one time).


OOC: Party style, adventures everyone.Just go wild, if you want it to be set at a particular time, maybe specify in the subject line? I'm doing some starters just... in case that helps but do whatever you like tbh. YEAH. There's also the ooc plotting post so chuck folks in there and scheme and let the madness and CR unfold.

[ Were........ spider........ ]

You mean like The Fly? [ Because oh my god, he's had nightmares about that. It's obviously a thing that can happen, it did for Dr. Connors, but it probably would've happened by now if it was going to, right? ]

It's - no, I'm not a... were-spider. And I don't bite people.

[ Not said defensively, just said in that same fog of confusion. He's having a hard time grasping reality right now. But he's definitely feeling way out of sorts talking about himself, so he attempts to turn it around. ]

What about where you come from, though? Are superheroes a thing there, or are they just in comics?

[ Like him, apparently. Not okay, man. He eases down to crouch on a nearby branch while he's asking, because talking about this is weird enough without it being on a not-horizontal plane. ]

< Not even if they ask nicely? >

( She asks, an immediate quip back to his statement about no biting. Her mental voice is infused with humor, but she asks in such a way to carry flirtatation that doesn't gel at all with her current physical presence.

Probably because her current physical presence looks ready to kill things, not flirt with them. Even if its fluffing feathers and tucking its beak in to its chest in a gesture of amusement. )


< Strictly comic books only! We do have aliens, though, several different species! >

[ What.

He's mostly confused by the first response, but when he catches on he flashes a big, idiotic smile and shakes his head slightly (more in the "I have no idea what to say to that, help" sort of way than anything). Now that his hands are free, one goes to run nervously through his hair before scratching the back of his neck idly.

But hang on, aliens. She just said aliens. That's as good a change of topics as any. ]


Sorry, did you say - you've got aliens? Seriously? I mean - no, you mentioned that before, I guess, but... [ He was also talking to a lot of dragons and etc. at the time, it got kind of lost in the rush of weird. ] What kinds? Is it like in the movies with the little green men, or is it more like a Ridley Scott situation?

< Ridley Scott? Is that related to Aliens? >

( Frankly, it's not really either, though parasites, sure... Collette the eagle opens her wings in an imitation of a shrug. )

< We've got four legged blue scorpion tailed centaur aliens, thousands of legged giant toothy worm-like aliens, five inch body controlling slug aliens, alien-made robots with a canine build, walking reptile-like aliens with blades at their joints and on their heads... not to mention what else is out in the galaxy! So no little green men. Nothing I've heard of or seen has been even close to human until I ended up here. >

( She settles down, feathers fluffing out and then quietly falling back into place. )

< I mean, how literal are we going to get with alien here? Is a human being from a world not Earth an alien, or are we being like, species specific? >
