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

[reconnaissance]

Date & Time: forward dated: Friday 22nd – Sunday 24th March
Location: a fair way into the Outlands
Characters:
Asami Sato chittybang, 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.

That's so awful... I guess I understand where you're coming from. We have benders in my world, and they have the power to manipulate earth, fire, air, or water. We've all actually been able to coexist, but just recently there was an uprising to eradicate them, or at least take their bending away. They were called the Equalists. It was such an ugly situation basically over one man's sob story.

But anyways, it caused rifts in a lot of places, so I'm sorry it's been like that for you guys.

[theboywhodied]

That sounds too familiar.

[He nods solemnly.]

I was worried for a while, but people are used to magic here. I still intimidate some people, but it's not as bad as I expected it to be.

[chittybang]

I know, it's hard to believe there are so many things people are capable of. I almost feel abnormal here.

[Not that she resents her normalcy. She rather likes being able to hold her own around her friends the way she is.

At the lake, she dips her toe in the water to test its temperature. Chilly, but manageable.]

[theboywhodied]

Hey, don't. You're an excellent mud-slider.

[Cedric tests the water with his fingertip and nods. He'll deal with it.]

It's not so bad getting off to a quick start in the water.

[He shakes his cloak distastefully, sheds it, then rolls up his sleeves. Laundry time!]

[chittybang]

[Asami grins at him before walking into the water, and the first thing she does is submerge herself to wet the gunk in her hair. She comes up with a shake of her hair, wiping her eyes of water.]

It's probably not all going to come off, is it?

[theboywhodied]

[He follows her with an enormous splash, laughing as he flings about. After about 30 seconds of warming up, he starts vigorously scrubbing his hair. It stands out in all directions.]

Probably not, but it was worth a shot.
