Monster Camp

David raises his eyebrow at the girl's response. She had attitude at least. "Sorry, I was kinda preoccupied. Not sure if you heard the bang earlier, but I may or may not have had something to do with that, and I may or may not be worried that it might happen again." He says, deciding to leave it at that. He wasn't exactly sure about his patchwork job at sealing over the pipes using some random pieces of metal he had swiped from around the camp, and it was worried that sooner rather than later, the water might begin to make it out.

He was pretty sure he could deal with it, but he was still kind of worried about the counsellor's response (He was also slightly worried that they would notice the missing metal forks). "Anyway, good to meet you Naomi. You're lucky to have Eliza as a bunkmate. Just remember to check your corners and your doors and you'll have a great time at camp middle-of-fuckin-nowhere!"
 
Eliza beamed at the praise and then, since everyone had introduced themselves, Claire and Abel took over with the rules. Eliza mostly tuned them out as she'd heard all of them before.

Don't go into the forest.
Don't feed sunshine the food you don't want to eat.
There was no reason to be in a bungalow belonging to the opposite sex.
Please don't break anything, (Claire absolutely looked at David during that one).
Please don't put a bunch of fake spiders in my bunk (this time she was looking at Eliza, who smiled innocently).
Boys stay in the boys shower.
Girls stay in the girls shower.
Please don't leave the immediate camp area without a counselor.
Don't go into the forest because they are not liable for anyone who gets electrocuted by the fence.
Tryyyy and get some sleep at night, but you're all teenagers and I know none of you are going to listen to that one.

Claire handed it over to Abel for the next activity while Nina looked on with a bright, bright smile. Claire idly wondered if maybe Nina were an alien.
 
Abel jolted up to his feet when the rules were over, as he was sitting down.

"Alright, alright, alriiiight~" He sang, clapping his hands.
"Lets all go over to the sports zone, yes?, our first activity scheduled is Archery!, and its gonna be fun!" He said, grinning, and pointing towards the football and basketball pitches.

If they walked a bit further away, there were some objectives hung on trees, and Abel sent Klaus to grab the material they needed from the shed, located in the back of the offices.

Meanwhile, the pale counselor waltzed over to Claire "fetch me that Anyhony guy so he knows where to go, yes?, yes!, thank you you're sooo nice!" He told her, waiting on the campers to go over to the archery zone.
 
Archery? Well that sounds fun at least, Leon began to get up after the rules were spoken and they were instructed to go over to the sports zone. Looking over to Hroth then back to the group of girls that he was kinda looking at, the Red head looked positively excitable, too much energy in that one, the one with the hat was quiet but she seemed to be very observant and aware, and the athletic one seemed to just be there, looking like she wanted to do more. Leon's nerves had calmed down aftereverything seemed to start moving.
 
David paled the moment archery was mentioned. His mind flashed back to last year's trying times where he, despite having to do archery once a week, managed to not hit a single arrow in the time he was there. Shuddering a bit, he quickly bolted back to his bungalow as fast has his muscled body would allow.

Practically bursting through the door, he inched around the firecrackers laying on his bed and grabbed the duffel bag he had arrived with. After a few moments of rifling through the bag, echoes of metal and sparks coming off of it, he pulled out a small device.

The device was a scope he had designed over the past year to finally beat the others, and especially Eliza because she always gave him shit for it. It was a small round glass with markings on it to help him aim surrounded and held in place by plastic moulded to fit the wood of a camp bow. With this he could outshine the others.

Tossing the scope into the air and catching it again, he exits the bungalow, making sure to close the door, before making his way over to the group where they were. Those damned targets. He would get them this time or shoot someone trying.
 
Naomi listened to the rules, looking somewhat disinterested. She shot a glance towards the forest. Wasn't the fence meant to be ages away? She huffed a little, but she didn't have any plans to go into the forest anyway. Unless there was a good path.

She tilted her head at the mention of the archery. She'd never even seen a bow and arrow. 'This holiday's going to be a lot of new things,' she remembered her mother saying. The reality of that hadn't really sank in for Naomi until then. She sighed, uncrossed her legs and stood up. She looked to Eliza and Izzy, smiling just a little. "Either of you two ever done archery before?"
 
Nico went to pull out his video game again while Claire went over the rules, but before he could even turn it on, a pointed look from one of the counselors had him putting it away again with a scowl. The rules were pointless- stuff like 'stay out of the girls' bungalow' he had been planning on doing anyway, and come on, if thy made up their minds to go into the forest or pull pranks, the counselors couldn't really stop them. They'd do it so they weren't caught. What did these guys think they were, stupid?

He followed Abel and the group over to the athletic field, dragging his feet a bit and lagging behind. He didn't want to do archery, and he highly doubted it was gonna be as 'fuuuun' as Abel claimed. That guy was seriously starting to get on his nerves. Nico didn't know how he was gonna live through two whole months of the relentless singsong enthusiasm. It had to be fake. No one was that annoying for real, they couldn't possibly be.

It seemed the counselors were pretty busy getting everything ready and keeping track of all the campers, so Nico managed to sulk mostly unnoticed in the back of the crowd. He thought he was hidden by the taller boys, so he pulled out his gameboy again and pressed the button to power it up. When the screen stayed stubbornly black, he frowned, trying again. No luck. Flipping the game over, he popped open the back to adjust the batteries, only to find them missing entirely.

"Hey!" he shouted before he thought better of it. "My batteries!" But he back wasn't loose or anything, they hadn't fallen out. And the game had beenfine when he had let Eliza...

"She stole my batteries!" he accused, searching for the girl in the group and pointing an angry finger. "You totally did! Give them back!"
 
Leon walked with everyone towards the archery fields, when all of sudden he heard Nico yell out in anger, Leon didn't say a word he just watched the events that were about to play out.
 
Izzy just gave David a confused look when he asked her and Naomi who they were.She had just introduced herself. Well, she supposed she could just introduce herself again, and so she did.

The rest was the usual stuff, rules and the like. Then they were off to the sports zone to do some...archery? Izzy shook her head at Naomi's question. "Nah, haven't even picked up a bow and arrow before. Have y- hhh-" Her question was interrupted by angry yelling and finger pointing. Not at her of course, at her new friend. From what she knew about Eliza though, the accusation might actually be right.
 
Claire nodded and headed off to find Anthony.

Eliza was nodding to Izzy, "Yeah we've done it the last two years." She bumped into David, slipping something small and metal into his hands, the batteries, before he headed the other way toward his bunk. After last year she wasn't surprised he was running away from the archery set. "I'm... okay?" She wasn't great but she was better than David, so that was something.

Speaking of, David was back just as someone was yelling at her.

Surprised, or feigning it, Eliza turned around to face Nico, "I did not." She said, sounding thoroughly insulted. "Beside, you're not even supposed to be playing that game right now." Really, she was doing him a favor. If Abel took up the game boy he may never see it again. If he can't play it, it won't get confiscated. The redhead faced Nico head-on, as if daring him to accuse her again. Her confidence didn't waiver and he looked the type to forget that real people existed.

Back down.

Before he could accuse her again, the redhead turned out her pockets. "Where do you think I'm keeping them? In my bra?"
 
With another, breath-rattling exhale, Tony scratched at the back of his head with his free hand. It was hard to not reach for a second one, but at least this way he could make them last longer. Taking another two quick puffs, he'd then put the butt out on the bottom of his boot, before then placing the not extinguished cancer-stick in the gutter of the bathroom building, perfectly out of sight. At least, until they were cleaned out, or the rain washed it out. Either way, its not like it could be traced back to him.

Unbeknownst to Tony, however, a set of eyes were watching him from the forest behind. Floating orbs, violet and ominous and silent. Thankfully the teen was blissfully unaware, though it was short lived as he saw the short, cute counselor drawing near. Claire. "Shit."

Reaching into one of his many pockets, he'd pull out a stick of teeth whitening spearmint gum, hoping it would be enough to cover the smell of tobacco smoke fresh on his breath.
 
Claire jogged toward the bathrooms and knocked on the door, when she didn't hear anything she walked into the grass looking to see if maybe he'd already regrouped with the rest and that was when she spotted him behind the building.

She jogged over and paused. She thought she had seen... Ew. It smelled like smoke.

She coughed a little and wrinkled her nose. "Hey, Tony, we're headed over to the archery set up." She gestured for him to go ahead and follow. "What were you doing back here?" She was starting to have some idea from the smell, but no proof... she squinted her eyes, "Don't get caught, okay?"

Because she's had the occasional cigarette, particularly after spending time with Nina.
 
"I- I don't know, but you took them, I know it!" Nico stammered a bit, but anger won over confusion. "You hid them somewhere, I dunno. But they didn't fall out, the back was still on the game, and it was working when you played it!" Her look of feigned innocence just pissed him off more, but he couldn't prove anything. "You're a thief, everyone knows it. Give them back!" He stepped forward like he was ready to fight, even though he'd never thrown a punch in his life.
 
Abel was finding the little intercourse very entertaining, but being a counselor meant that he sadly had to stop fights, not encourage them.
"Now... now" He purred, waltzing between the two kids. "Eliza, did you take the batteries?, I know you're a big friend of other people's property. And Nico makes a pretty good point!. You seem to be the ooonly suuuuuspeeect~ "He sang, cold blue eyes focusing on Eliza's own like icy daggers, a freakish grin plastered on the pale man's face. If you squinted, his eyes seemed to glow, to glint with mischievousness.

From the shed, after putting the bows and arrows they'd be using in a bag, he walked back towards the rest of the groups, whistling. This was one of the activities he'd be one of the best at. He had his own bow and arrow back home, but read arrows, with sharp edges and ready to get stuck in the prey's flesh, not like these.
 
Leon laughed to himself as the two seemed to argue, then his smile disappeared as soon as Abel stopped anything from escalating. Damnit, always with this fucking guy, seriously? And what is with that stupid Fukin sing songy bull shite? Leon wondered to himself as he and Hroth walked together, not really knowing anyone else he liked to think at least they were in this together.
 
The redhead wasn't about to back down and she took a step forward, too. She didn't think it would actually escalate into a fight, but she wasn't afraid of any boy. Fortunately (or unfortunately?) Abel intervened and Eliza stared back at him. He had no proof and her pockets are empty, "I don't have them," she repeated which... was not a lie. She showed the counselor her empty pockets.

There was nothing left for either of them as there was no way to prove she had stolen the batteries. Turning on her heel, Eliza went over to where the bow and arrows were going to be set up and she smiled at Klaus as he carried them over. "Can I have... that one?" She pointed to a particular bow she'd grown fond of over the past few summers.
 
Tony felt a chill go up his spine, but he'd shrug it off. "Well...Shit. Since you already seem to know...do you want one?" Here he was, day one, asking a counselor if she wanted to have a cigarette with him behind the crappers. "I mean, I'll get it if you don't. But you look a little stressed, and I'm guessing you could use one. I'm uh...trying to quit, so I only brought a couple with me, but..." This time, Tony hoped that Claire would catch him looking her over. His eyes didn't really seem to focus on the more perverted areas, instead looking at her own eyes, her hair, her neck. No where overly or obviously creepy, but a linger stare none the less.

"I wouldn't mind sharing. Just let me know, alright?" With a grin, he'd start walking away from the older woman, back towards the campfire area unless he was stopped.
 
"I know she stole them," Nico growled, glaring after the redhead, fists clenched by his side. He didn't actually think Abel would do anything about it, as the guy seemed entirely hell bent on making his life miserable. "She was the only one who could have. I don't know where she put them, but she stole them." He looked up at Abel, who had seemed mildly amused throughout the whole exchange, and resisted the urge to roll his eyes. Now what was he supposed to do? Hang out with these summer camp freaks for two months straight? Sing campfire songs and dance around with the demon counselor and the battery-stealing bitch? No, thanks.
 
When Eliza walked away after showing her empty pockets, Abel shrugged, looking at Nico.
"Nothing I can do, nothing I can do for you~, you shouldn't be playing that game anyways, pick a bow and take three arrows and lets start!" He clapped his hands at the end of the sentence.
"End of the argument, you can go whine to Claire or Nina later. Or Justin or Hope." He said.

Klaus simply listened until Eliza approached him, curious eyes were on her then. What did she want?. A certain bow and her three arrows. The teen would gladly hand the bow she had asked for and her three arrows to her with a gentle smile.
"Of course!, here"
 
"Hey, Leon, bet I can beat you in archery." Hroth was obviously trying a little to hard to be normal. He had never used a bow before, but he did know how to use one. It was quite simple, really. Hold the handle in your left hand loosely. Notch the arrow, pull back the string. Make sure the forefinger of your right hand touched the right corner of your mouth. Exhale. Aim. Release.

Easy.
