[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 Satochittybang, Cedric Diggory theboywhodied, Collette whatsupcroc, Ellie Linton reconnaissance, Fi Maxwell burnsinvisibly, Katniss Everdeen accidentalrebellion, Mitsuki Ishikawa drowns, Peter Parker arachnoid, Steph Brown 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.

She tucks her knees in close to her chest.] The leeches, mm. [...] I'm very sorry, for screaming so loudly about those earlier.
[She pushes her glasses up, trying not to look as embarrassed as she feels.] I'm not accustomed to the wilderness.
no subject
Don't even. They're disgusting, and I'm a 'rough as guts' rural girl. There's no shame in hating leeches. My best mate, Corrie, she'd have thought your display was too quiet. ( Stop talking about Corrie. ) Besides, it could've been worse. Imagine if they'd been giant mutant leeches.
( That is so helpful, Ellie. ) You're doing all right. Fi, she's a townie, too. Don't tell her I said anything, but she handles herself pretty well.
( Maybe do tell her that Ellie said that, she makes Fi feel awful regularly enough )
no subject
[An understatement.] Whenever she has a problem with something, she's very direct about it. [Or rude, but she won't say that.] And she's gruff, not ladylike at all...she acts as if she dislikes everything, but that isn't true. After a while, you tend to get used to it. I think...people have ways of protecting themselves, and that's her way.
[her gaze turns back to the fire.] It took me a long time to understand that. [for a while she goes quiet and contemplative, and then she realizes she is going to make herself upset. so the subject is changed.]
What about your friends? Do you know anyone like that?
no subject
( Not said like it's a bad thing, mind. It's just something to think about, isn't it? And when so many of it hits so close to home. Her gaze follows Mitsuki's to rest on the fire, as if she might find answers in the orange glow of the embers. )
Um. Homer, he was always really loud mouthed. Acted up a lot at school, you know? The teachers wouldn't even trust him to hand out the books, he destroyed school property. He could be rude and he'd--- ( No. She trails off, shakes her head. ) That was before the war, though. And when the fan got hit, he was the guy that got us all moving again. Encourages us all, I guess.
( Her tone suggests that maybe she's thinking about this all wrong, needs to go back to the drawing board. Thinking aloud, ) Homer was too gentle, even if he used to be a terror. ( That was still a shock to her, really. ) And Lee-- I don't think he does like anything, anymore. He's just obsessed with his vengeance, that's all, no matter what it does.
( That's a thought, not a good one. It was still hard to remember the way Lee abused Kevin and claimed he'd go off alone, if the others weren't up to it. Forced their hands - she grimaces, and stares into the fire. Finally, after a stretch of silence: )
Me. Your mate sounds like me. ( With a surprised huff of a laugh. ) Sometimes, anyway. Some of the pieces fit.
