[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.

Really? Asami struck me as more of a lover, than a fighter. ( But it's only a little bit incredulous; Asami's tougher than she seems, with all that hair flipping and-- no, okay, mostly the hair flipping. But she had a few things in common with Fi that probably had her marked as someone for Ellie to underestimate. She'd impressed Ellie with how she handled herself when she moved in, though. She was hardly one to argue the choice.

Steph, though, she is more familiar with. Sworn to secrecy she might be about Batgirl, but Gotham being off the chart with intensity and crazy goings on wasn't something to keep under the cone. And besides, Steph had helped her out a lot. ) She does. You need someone with insight like that, for stuff like this. She used to work in a clinic, too. It won't hurt to have someone trained to patch us up.

( Suffice to say, she approves of those two. )

Work with this, work with each other. Team dynamic is important.

[whatsupcroc]

Team dynamics?

( She warms at those words; Ellie could say nothing that would more firmly garner Collette's support. )

Oh yeah, team dynamics are the most important! Being able to cover each other and know each other and compensate and everything like that, it's super important. You need to know you can trust people to be watching your back, you know? That's a big part of it all.

( And a major component of why Collette looked to her own general age-group. )

[reconnaissance]

Yeah. Fi and I, our lot back home, we got pretty bloody good at working together. ( Even if they could've throttled each other, some days, even if Corrie's death had destroyed any positive bond she and Kevin ever had, even if she and Lee could barely understand each other some days.

She was the one to be counted on, who would step up for the terrifying missions no one else could do. That was what she did. Except for Homer standing alongside her, for Robyn that gave more than Ellie ever had. Her mouth twists, and her gaze drops. )

I can do that. I got your back. You and Sami and Steph. ( And the rest are implied, but those three first of all. )

[whatsupcroc]

Same here, in case you were wondering. I've got your backs too.

( Said with a smile, and a firmness around her eyes. She laughs afterward, nothing to mock it, not taking the sentiment lightly, but because that's what she wants to do. )

By land, sea, and air!

[reconnaissance]

( She can't help a laugh at that enthusiasm. )

That's called being a show off, for the record.

( But she's glad for it, and Collette's ridiculousness. It's a nice relief from everything. )

and that's a wrap just because i wanted to say A LITTLE BIT ok ok

[whatsupcroc]

( Collette shrugs, grinning. )

Maybe!

( Holding up her fingers, she indicates a distance of about a centimeter. )

Just a little bit.
