Well, I’d be more than happy to take your mind off it. As it so happens I could have sworn I just saw a bear, unless it was just an extremely large bush with a set of eyes. I’d expect you to be down at the clearing setting up for tonight or something — you are going, aren’t you?

[astormadeleine]

You've already helped, so thank you for that. Do you plan on chasing after him? I don't think so. The most I'll be doing is stopping in for five minutes and then wandering off. However, you should probably start heading over there. You're going, right?

[michael-mouse]

True, I guess it’s just a waiting game to see who will stir up the best drama before the buses come to take us all back. What do you think will happen first? I’m going with a fight between someone or a mass skinny dipping charade.  

[astormadeleine]

Probably mass skinny dipping right before a fight breaks out and everything is left in shambles. I'll watch the war unfold from a safe spot until all the punching and scratching becomes dull. Maybe then I'll break out the ouija board and conjure some spirits.

Wolves stick to redheads? You learn something new every day. I’ll note that in my survival notepad later on. Why won’t you get peace at the cabin? Aside from everyone frolicking around blind drunk, that is. Personally I encourage the festivities. Just about, the buzz wore off so now I’m rustling my adrenaline seeking feathers by exploring. 

[astormadeleine]

I don't mind most of them when alcohol is buzzing through their veins. There's just a lot going on back there that I'd rather get away from for at least a little bit. Oh? Find anything interesting?

[misslilyrhodes-blog]

Thank you, I appreciate it! Luckily for me, though, I got paired with a very dear friend. How was your luck?

[astormadeleine]

You're very welcome. Let's just say...not the best. Perhaps fate has something interesting in mind for me or just enjoys toying with my life too much. Either way, I'll enjoy my time here.

Naming and shaming Skye Montgomery, whatever did the rascal do to pencil herself into those threateningly bad books of yours? I’d give her a verbal spank for her sins but our platonic bond knows no bounds and no boundaries. We’re all guilty of crossing a carefully drawn salt line, I’m sure she had her reasons for… acting out. Aren’t you both sharing, anyway?

[astormadeleine]

Wait a minute. What do you mean by sharing? I've been out of the loop for a good amount of time, so clearly I've missed out on something important. I do still have some idea but this lack of information has made it a little hard. Well, would you help shed a little light on what's been going on between Skye and Samuel?

[tategrayson-blog]

You can count on it, love. Although safety is not a guarantee whilst on the Tate Experience so you should be at least ten paces away from me at all times.

[astormadeleine]

Thank you for the warning. I wouldn't want to lose a limb, so I'll try to be careful.

The only item I need is my camera, though I have packed a few pairs of underwear a shirt or two just in case. Pick up some items while you’re out so we can make s’mores, I’ve been craving chocolate. 

[astormadeleine]

Are you into photography? Making smores does sound like it would be fun. Have you been camping before?

[michael-mouse]

 Alright. I have seen the lake, now what? I can’t imagine this is all there is planned for a week. 

[astormadeleine]

I'm not sure yet but considering who's here? Just give it time before something happens.

[jacobmemories-blog]

You know, the woods are dangerous at night alone. You’re practically baiting yourself to the wolves wandering around here. 

[astormadeleine]

We meet again, my Snoopy friend. Oh, I'll take my chances with the wolves. Anything for a little peace since I probably won't be getting that at the cabin. Besides, I heard wolves tend to stick to redheads. I should be fine but what about you? Fully healed from your last tango with danger?

Texts to S. Hayes

S: I wouldn't use you, Maddie. That's not the kind of person I am.

S: Especially, I hold you dear to me.

S: But I'd be wrong if I said you didn't have a right to be upset with me.

S: Alright, I get the message. I'll take my leave now.

Whoever else might be popping out the wood works? I’ll bring along a glass hammer on our quest and smash whoever chooses to stalk us around the board walk down like a delinquent game of whack-a-mole. Oh, who else is whipping you for these sins against humanity? I never realised that a spontaneous toga wielding salsa here and there was such a crime. Pray tell, was it Winnie? Mental note, do not send apologetic postcard. 

[astormadeleine]

I guess more people only equals a higher level of fun, right? Give me some time and I'll come up with a most lavish prize for all that hard work. If it were Winnie, then she would probably give me a slap on the wrist and stern talking to. Skye and I aren't exactly on the best of terms right now. Actually, I feel somewhat bad about the whole situation since I never meant to upset her but anyway, I can't wait for our little trip.

[marcusrockwell-deactivated20141]

I’m sure that won’t be too difficult. Are you up for aiding me in this search or would you rather watch from the sidelines? 

[astormadeleine]

I think it would be best if this time I remained by the sidelines. However, good luck with everything and should you need help of the academic kind, let me know.

[tategrayson-blog]

Oh I’m coming don’t worry. I couldn’t miss out on a week of possible shenanigans even if I wanted to, I’m drawn to mischief.

[astormadeleine]

I'm glad you'll be coming along. We need someone around who will be sure to keep us all from becoming bored and you sound like that person.

[misslilyrhodes-blog]

Earplugs! I didn’t think of that, that’s a very good idea!

[astormadeleine]

Thank you! They're just the perfect way to avoid any trouble sleeping or rude remarks should you find yourself with a less than kind roommate. However, I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you and if you need anything at all, let me know.

Texts to M. Astor

S: Look, I'm sorry if I hurt you in any way.

S: You're a really close friend of mine and hurting you is the last thing I'd want to do.

S: I just - I shouldn't have kissed you. Just... think of it as a mistake resulted from one too many drinks.

S: I'm sorry, Madeleine. I'm sorry.

M: You want to blame this on the alcohol?

M: Fine. I'll pretend to believe it.

M: It's nice to know that I was just some poor substitute, a pretty little doll for you to use.

M: You know, it may have been the last thing you wanted to do but you hurt me anyway.

M: Have a lovely evening because I most certainly won't.

[astormadeleine]

Texts to M. Astor

S: I don't know, Maddie. I really don't.

S: Why are you asking me these questions all of a sudden?

S: What the hell?

M: I know it was only one kiss but maybe it meant something to me and if you were thinking about someone else during it, I would be...

M: Put together you punching Jacob and Skye's behavior any time you're mentioned, and you can't blame me too much.

[astormadeleine]

Texts to M. Astor

S: It doesn't matter what happened, it's all old news now. We've put it behind us, so I don't think it's worth speaking about, you know?

S: My offer to spend time with you at the party had nothing to do with my stance with her.

S: Your return was rather recent. You can't expect to know everything right away.

S: Did she say anything else to you that you haven't mentioned to me?

M: If it's behind the both of you, then what happens next?

M: Just that I'm treading in waters way too deep and she won't be throwing a life ring to me.
