*~Hey there campers! Well, here it is, the last day and the final report! Might have been a few bumps along the way, but honestly it was a good two weeks. You were a lively sort this time around, definitely got up to some trouble, but you brats were generally alright. Brought a spark of life to Soul Island, and I know the Residents and Counselors enjoyed spending time with you all...despite what our grumbling and threats may have implied otherwise eheh.~
*~Counselor Ren snuck a little surprise event in to the schedule before the Dance. Something rather sweet really. Making Floating Lanterns to decorate and release as a gesture of farewell after the dance. It was pleasant really, just a bunch of campers (and maybe a goopman...hey it was for my daughter!) drawing whatever came to mind. Saw some kids drawing their friends. Others were just drawing shapes. Stars and hearts, and stars with hearts. Saw some of the Islands residents on a few lanterns. And more than a few happy scribbles heheh. Thanks for making our last moments in camp a little more special, Ren.~
*~Speaking of the dance heh, well, it was wild! We had the appearance of DJ Emitem (Rumors insist that it was really Samson in disguise.) again gracing us with their selection of music. Meaning we wanted to murder the little jokester half the time... Quite a lot went on that night, it would be difficult to single every one of you out, but its safe to say it all falls under ‘everyone had a good time’ heh. Saw some fancy outfits out there, guess you kids wanted to dress for the occasion. All I can say is it looked more cute than snazzy heheh.~
*~Even the furworm got in on the fun, some of the tunes must’ve been simple enough for that beastie to bust a move to. Imagine seeing 30 feet of a long furry noodle shimmying and stomping on a frozen lake creaking under their weight. Yeah, its not something you forget. Even more frightening than that though is seeing Lord Invex on the dance floor! Apparently several bribes of sugary confectioneries convinced the jerkbug to demonstrate his superior dancing skills on the ice. Even our resident spooky man Geist got in on the fun, dancing as mad a jig as one can without legs with Invex! Now there’s a night to remember! Bet that the bug won’t forget that sugar crash anytime soon either heheheh.~
*~As the night wore on those lanterns from earlier were released, lighting up the sky. Our own starry night of inscribed memories and emotions, let loose to share with the world. After that little event (finished without a single tear shed, mhm, honest!) there was one last announcement. Angelo, our ally during the Parasite Incident, extended an invitation to a Trial of Unity to the campers. A completely optional fight with the big dog himself as a test of strength and well, unity.~
*~Otherwise the campers were completely free to spend one last day to say their farewells and depart. To say things got emotional would’ve been an understatement eheh. Plans were made to meet again, contact information exchanged, a few arguments here and there, even a few crushes turning into a requited relationship. Adorable. In the end, we all left. Together, alone, parting with a few last words before hopping through. Taking one last tour of the island. One lucky soul got to ride the dragon around the whole island before having a tearful parting. Don’t worry furworm, you’ll see your pup again.~
*~Sure, it might not have been as exhilarating an end as battling an ancient world destroying threat, but the time spent here was worth it all the same. And with that Camp Wintersoul came to a close, and we’ve reached the end of the reports. But fear not, Soul Island and its residents are still around. ready and willing to open their home to more mischief. And draft me into babysitting. You’ll all have an opportunity to see your friends again. And even though I want t toss most of you off the island more often than not...I’m looking forward to it.~
*~Thank you for watching. Hope to see you delinquents again soon.~
*~Hey there lovebirds and welcome back to the Wintersoul Report! We’re quite near to the end now. Day 11 is the last official day of Camp Wintersoul, and thus will be the last day reported. Though if there’s any notable events from the day after, I will strive to cover it. ~
*~Now...the news! Now before I can embarrass everyone with the day’s main event, I have the distinct pleasure of poking fun at one of the island’s residents! Today’s free event was skiing and snowboarding. Which needed some snow. Guess the Tem Dragon didn’t get the memo, cause they were napping in the Crystal Valley when that snow arrived. Now, I wanted to use their buried snout as an obstacle, but noooo, some campers decided to dig the purple fur beast out! Got to use the dip they left behind as part of the slope though, so it evens out.~
*~ Casey [ @friskandmisc], Winter [ @coldsoulgoodsoul], Shihobu ; @sevendeadlysouls], and Claire [ @somenewsouls], you’re all good kids. Thanks for freeing the furnoodle and we hope you had fun on the slopes! Saw some of you sliding down without much trouble...though, that isn’t quite how you use a snowboard Shihobu. Good enough though!~
*~So. Heard there was someone goopy in the camp and this time it wasn’t me! Fallen [ @orange-mercyfighter] the ghostly nuisance who spooked kids at the last camp, decided to make a return appearance. Must’ve had trouble in the cabins or something, reports indicate that he arrived on the Snow Prairie in a low mood, uncommunicative and not wanting to be bothered...why is the ghost goop kid sulking? Hmph, anyways Cammy [ @two-littlesouls] came right on over to confront Fallen after hearing word of his presence. And by confront, I mean Cammy smacked the grimdark brat right outta him, allowing Griz to regain control once more. Hopefully some love and care back at the cabin will help his situation.~
*~They’re still curfew breaking miscreants!~
*~Alright. Now the smoochyfaces are next! Counselors Dogamy & Dogaressa organized the Nose Nuzzle Championship of ‘17! Contestants signed up in their chosen pairs and assembled at the auditorium to showcase their affection to the judges! ‘Ressa & Amy of course. Yours truly wouldn’t miss a chance to make miscreants squirm. The Great Scrublord Papyrus volunteered as well. No stranger to affection himself, Doggo was a sure fit asa judge. Annnnd....Mira the shady tem. No. I don’t know why they were with the judges but we went with it anyways...not because they’re actually cute or anything....~
[Coverage under the cut!]
First up was the nervous dork duo of grapes, Teddy and Momo! Some light eskimo kisses followed by a genuine hug earned the pair a 39 out of 50 from the judges. Seeing Teddy flustered and internally dead after seeing Doggo as a judge just made it even better!
Up next was Ikki { @determinedbuns] and Skela [ @cuteskeleton07] with an adorable display of sibling affection, earning another 39 out of 50. The purring and squeaks were especially cute!
Abbi [ @six-sassy-souls] and Regiold [ @asksixsouls] got 46 for all their stealthy pecks and revenge smooches.
Paris [ @thequirkyparis] and Tara [ @taras-timeline] received a 44. Maximum over snuggle achieved!
Scan [ @undauntedgunner] and Alexis [ @integrity-dancer] with the massive height difference, leading to a headbutt. Points removed for stealing my method of pecking, Scan! 45 for the adorable awkwardness and clearly caring for each other!
Next up was.... The Tem Dragon and Winter?! Trying to steal my daughter, you overgrown furworm?! Hmph... 40 was their score. Was quite a snout to nuzzle but the kid gave her all to return it heh.
Henry [ @six-souls-chilling] and Gilbert [ @sixsmolsouls] displayed quite a bit of affection and love to eachother, even though it was clear they were both a hair away from passing out from the sheer flusteredness. Looked like Gil nearly did at the end there heheh. A 49 was their score, almost perfect!
Daf [ @multi-of-fire] and Ginger [ @six-dorky-souls] got a 47. Playful, affectionate, and precious. Those two clearly had fun. Though ending it with a pillow whap to the face is certainly a new one.
Rowan [ @fallen-determination] and Rai’ni [ @notsafefromchara], now there was a different way of expressing affection! Heheh, poncho there was looking pretty serious about the whole thing, but we saw that grin as you flung your friend offstage! Bonus points for stage diving! The judges total was a 47!
Adie [ @overtaleblog] and Carla [ @seven-virtues-plusmore] got right into it with an outright glomp from Carla. Clearly enthusiastic and unabashed with their affection, ending in some mutual boops. 39 from the judges!
Cammy and Valerie [ @valeriejumper] scored a perfect 50! Hand holding, butterfly kisses, literally falling for each other!...or well, on each other. Poor Cam. But still, they hit every mark! Congrats you two, keep that love and affection in your hearts for as long as you can!
*~And that’s it for today! Thank you for watching and keep an eye out for the next report. It will be the final Wintersoul Report!~
*~Hey there campers! Counselor Wander here for another report on camp happenings. Looks like a messy one today too. Excellent!~
*~Due to unforeseen circumstances, two events were cancelled today. Santem’s grotto ended up being flooded and the Gelid Lake was deemed to be too unsafe for the amount of participants needed in Ice Hockey. But the other planned event was satisfactory! For everyone that mattered anyways heheheh~
"A KEY FACET OF KINDNESS IS PUTTING YOURSELF IN HARMS WAY FOR THE SAKE OF OTHERS, AND A KEY FACET OF INTEGRITY IS STAYING RESOLUTE IN THE FACE OF INSURMOUNTABLE ODDS!!"
~Camp Counselor Cam
*~Hmm, I wonder what the odds could be?~
*~The Master Janitor organized the main event of the evening. A grand Paintball challenge to splatter the camp in chromatic glory! Alas, there as a shortage of paint based armaments. The obvious solution was to give these tools of destruction to the Counselors only!~
Geist, floating in the air with a sniper
Scrublord Papyrus teamed up with the tiny Skela, making a skeletal tower of guns!
Camp Counselor Nero toting a paint-shotgun and a will to DESTROY!
Counselor Doggo, dressed for guerrilla warfare! Camo and even paint grenades, somebody wants to see some kids get splattered...
The Spot & Splatter Team of Dogamy and Dogaressa
Counselor Cam with his cheating aimbot of a Sniper, henceforth dubbed ‘The Enforcer’.
[Follow da Rulez ye miscreants!]
*~Beautiful, sweet vengeance.~
*~The rules were simple. The Kindness Campers were tasked with gathering 15 flags hidden around the arena in one hour. The Calamity Counselors would take potshots at the gathers whenever they made an attempt. The Integrity Campers would then attempt to defend their assigned gatherer with a shield they were given. If a gatherer was hit, they and their defender sat out a round. No magic was allowed. From the campers anyways heheh.~
*~The battle...well, it was a mess obviously. The counselors spared nobody! Round after round, they splattered the campers with paint, with only a few flags gathered each time. Scrub in particular had an impressive count, and Counselor Nero was absolute merciless with that shotgun!...even if they missed at close range more that a few times. And Geist! He was terrible. Hovering in the air with a clear line of sight, but missing more often than not. That was just sad, skelesmith. The Dog Squad made up for it though! Everything was looking to be in the counselors favor...~
*~Then the traitor arrived.~
[Your crimes have been etched in history Counselor. Your name shall live in infamy.]
*~A new marksman appeared, and her first action was a case of friendly fire! Seis, how could you?! This sole action marked the beginning of the end. You thought it was chaotic before? Hell broke loose after! And it was wonderful!!~
*~While Counselor Cam tried to maintain order, entropy already had its hooks set in. As if there wasn’t enough paint flying around, a creature from a mythic land arrived...~
[Extrememely rare proof of the existence of a Canadian.]
*~Counselor Amatsu barged in with an arsenal, targeting Camper and Counselor alike! Nobody was safe! The amount of paint being flung about was staggering, It was even missing the arena entirely and raining down on other areas of the camp. Being the head Janitor, this sent Cam into a fit! So he grabbed his phone, and initiated Operation X The Town Red.~
[And you thought the Canadian was overdoing it!]
*~That’s right. These madmen brought in the heavy artillery. And you know what? Despite these storm you brats still won! Congrats to Aiden, Scan, Jaime [ @youwinatball] and Omen for grabbing the last flags!~
[Your victory was in vain though! Poor CC Cam...]
*~It ended happily enough. As a reward for enduring our terrible wrath, Campers were treated to ice and yogurt of every flavor with every topping imaginable. And if that wasn’t enough, Sasha and the temmies made pizza too! Just spoiled rotten this night heheh. Ah well, you earned it!~
[More News Under the Cut!]
*~A new tem at the camp? We have received reports of a very unusual temmie wandering around the Cafeteria and Snowy Prairie. A rather lupine one really...sounds very familiar. Bah, must be my imagination. They sounded harmless enough, more interested in getting some food and playing. Another kid to babysit...the campers took a liking to him though, so guess he can stay.~
*~....You kids couldn’t open a coconut? Seriously? Some of you kids fought a massive virtue devouring parasite, and this coconut defeated you? Angelo...how? Just...how did you mess that up?! Thankfully Lacie was around to help, guess you can’t crack any shell with enough patience. Now um. What are you going to do with the coconut now?~
*~Of course even then you miscreants still caused trouble. There are reports that the littlest temgon rider and her mighty steed encountered a gathering of curfew breakers in the cafeteria! It appeared that Casey [ @friskandmisc], Aura [ @soulsgained], Wren [ @sixsmolsouls] and Rufus were having a little post-curfew date party in there along with the strange new tem when the furworm came a’knocking. Casey distracted the dragon to buy time for the others, though at least he got to ride on Temgon with Winter back to the cabins. But the Curfew Enforcement Beast would not be duped! They returned for the other miscreants...who promptly got a ride back to their cabins too. Except for the tem. He got carried back like a kitten. Which I think he was if these reported sightings are accurate. Hope it was worth it you reprobates! Gonna be watching you like a hawk next time!~
*~Hmmm, that intercom saw a bit of use earlier in the day. Seems like the counselors had some choice words for you all.~
*~Sappy, aren’t they? heheh Alright, that it for today. Thanks for watching, and keep an eye out for the next report!~
*~Hey there campers! Wander here, braving horrors and fire to bring you the news! No, seriously. There was a change in schedule this day, we decided it would be unwise for the planned host of the gardening event to make an appearance. So our resident spookman Geist [ @archaicgeists] volunteered to set up a blacksmithing session instead. Thanks, tail-slammer! We also had a Scary Story Telling Session hosted by Eimmet himself and a card game available in the Master Cabin as today’s free event.~
*~Don’t worry, we weren’t makin’ weapons or anything. Most of these kids just aren’t skilled enough for that, probably never held a smithing hammer in their life. No, Geist taught us a simpler craft. Metalsmithing he called it, using easier materials to craft useful or simpler stuff. No-legs walked us through it, showing us how to properly heat the metal, how to use the tools and so on. Seems like everyone was getting into it and enjoying themselves. Even Geist was hammering away at some trinket, and offering to make inscriptions on the campers’ pieces. Thanks by the way, Win [ @coldsoulgoodsoul] definitely appreciated the finishing touches you put on her ring. Looked just like the Temgon!~
*~More than a few interesting trinkets passing about. Scan’s [ @undauntedgunner] modern art showing the futility of a creative soul locked in an form unable to properly express itself....or it was just metal he hammered the hell out of willy nilly. Sasha [ @youwinatball] created a spatula and fork, engraved with his name and ‘Camp Wintersouls’, so memorabilia from a fan! John and Joe [ @fusedfloras] worked together to make some engraved coin necklaces for their friends. Emma [ @persevering-eidetic] made a nice little heart pendant, after some tremendous effort. Try not to wear yourself out too much Em. And Cas [ @six-souls-in-hiding] made a neat dagger necklace, its worn look and imperfections adding to its charm. Seems like most, if not all of these creations were intended to be gifts for friends. Heh, cute. Thanks for stepping up to host the event and teach the kids, Geist! Eheh, and waiting until after we left to plunge your hands into the roaring flames...~
*~Eimmet hosted a Scary Session at a Bonfire on the Floating Islet. Intense heat on a floating chunk of ice is scary enough. Records of the top stories will be at the end of todays report. However I will extend a congratulations to those whose stories were voted as the Spookiest!~
Cammy [ @two-littlesouls] with 6 votes for their Tale of a Forsaken Tem.
Aisha [ @nolvlost] with 4 votes for ‘The Raffle’
Rhys [ @sixsmolsouls] with 3 votes for the ‘Boy Given to Darkness’
Sabrina [ @friskandmisc] with 3 votes for ‘Mina’s Doll’
Aswell [ @the-grephil-anomaly] with 3 votes for...His Origin Story?
Omen [ @the-selfishsoul] with 3 votes for ‘Feeding a Shadow’
*~Their tales of terror will be revealed in a separate report, so keep watching to catch that! For now you’ll just have to settle for creepy pasta. Literally. That was dinner for this day. Along with ‘Spooky Spaghetti' and a glass full of spider...cider. At least Sasha made some ‘crepe’s for those that didn’t want ‘creepy’ heheh.~
*~Though some campers tried to make one Tale of Terror into reality. Ethan [ @thesixchildren] and Chara [ @experimenttale-au] were reported to have been engaging in cult like activities at Soul Sanctum in an attempt to summon the temmie from Cammy’s story Instead they summoned the Temmie of Justice by breaking curfew. Colt and her crew quickly disrupted this new cults attempts and chased the miscreants back to their Cabins! ...Feel that I must reiterate. What the hell is wrong with you kids?!~
*~In some decidedly less disturbing and more wholesome news, more time with the dragon! Win [ @coldsoulgoodsoul] and I were the only people to try out that ‘Undercards’ game. It was simple enough, easy to pick up, so the kid and I played a few rounds. We umm, really didn’t have the heart to actively try to beat each other. Crybaby was getting upset by the end of the second round, so she was brought to the Temgon to cheer her up, and show off her new ring. Mission successful. Those two were bouncing around and having fun in no time at all, Until the kid got tired of course. Then the furworm hauled her straight to bed, carrying Winter to the Green Cabin roof so she could rest with them for the night. Not quite where she’s supposed to be after curfew but it was too cute. We’ll let it slide this time.~
*~And that’s all the news for today! Thank you for watching, and remember to check back soon! We’ll have the top 6 spooky stories transcribed and released later today!~
“So, you know the Patron Temmies of Virtue, right? The special ones, like Lacie and Nugget. Well, when I was looking around the island the other day I found out that there is another special Temmie. One that no-one ever talks about.”
He looks around shiftily, almost like he’s thinking about whether or not he should say their name at all.
“...Zippo. The Dark Temmie. The Patron Temmie of the Virtueless.”
Another long pause, checking that saying their name didn’t cause them to show up or something.
“Zippo was just like the other Temmies once, only his body was jet-black. Looking at him was like looking into a Temmie-shaped hole in the universe. His role was important, representing all of those who live without souls or virtue and showing that they could do the right thing too!"
"But...Zippo was naive. He got jealous of his brethren and wanted what they had. The legends are sketchy about how he did it, but he tried to steal their virtues for himself. Eimmet, grief stricken and horrified by this betrayal, had no choice but to banish Zippo to the depths of the island. Under the Soul Sanctum, under the Core. Out of sight and out of mind...Forever."
"No-one knows what happened to him after that. Eimmet went to check on him once, to see if he had learned the error of his ways, but he was gone…There’s no point asking any of the other Temmies about him, because they’ll just pretend they don’t know anything.”
He turns to Eimmet and gives him a knowing wink.Then, after a few more moments, he gave another shifty look around and stood up. He dusted off his knees and lurched forwards, hands up and clawed so he was making a spooky pose.
“But they say that in his frustration, jealousy and hatred, Zippo became one with all the darkness of the island. A lingering shadow that hOids in waiting for souls who stay out too late! So, my friends, be very careful if you decide to stay out after curfew, otherwise the Dark Temmie will come and take your virtue!!”
He cackled and grinned.
*~Sure Eimmet. Exactly what a temmie would say!~
[[The rest are under the cut. Enjoy!]]
‘The Raffle by Ice Queen Aisha
@nolvlost
[You waited this long, it was bound to happen!] * Alright. [She takes a deep breath before starting.]
* I call this story the Raffle.
* It was a lovely summer morning in the small town. The air was sweet and cool, rolling in lazy waves. There was all but 300 or so people populating it, but they always worked so hard. They had modest homes, all charming in their own ways. They also had massive farms that they put their blood, sweat, and tears in. And they had a massive school, empty now, but usually filled with students, eager to learn. It was no ordinary day, no. It was time for the raffle.
* The whole town joined it. You could feel the electricity in the air. Some of the town's children gathered stones and meandered about, before getting pulled over by their parents to gather on the towns square. They left their stones in a large pile behind, eagerly tagging along.
[Aisha pauses to swallow built up spit, gauging a reaction for her foreshadowing.]
* A lady joins the crowd, and finds her family just as they are putting in slips of paper into the raffle box. It seems she has forgotten all about today, and is quick to make small talk to other people in the crowd.
"This raffle is totally rigged, don't you know?" They don't answer her back. She quiets down, and listens to the rules she has heard for many years now.
[She stifles a cough before continuing on.]
* The announcer were to call out names, the head of the family were to retrieve a slip of paper, and only after everyone was called, then the papers be shown. The town elder pulled a slip for himself, eager to partake in the lottery. It's been going on years, decades even. The announcer decides to have a small chat while he was up there. 'There has to be a better way', he says. The elder was quick to retort that there was nothing wrong with tradition, and that stopping it was nothing but trouble. 'Raffle in August, corn among us', he said.
When all the the papers were drawn, everyone looked at their papers. All of the lady's talk about being rigged and unfair were spoken even louder by her, calling shenanigans. Her husband seemed to get the slip with a bright red sticker in the middle of it. The lady protests again, but her husband escorts her and their children to the stage where the raffle box were. The announcer dumps the rest of the paper out and puts in four slips of paper in, one for each member of the family. One by one, they all drew a slip of paper. Upon opening it, the lady breaks down crying, seeing as her slip held the sticker. Her husband, wordless, gave her one last hug before retreating with his kids.
[Aisha looks around the bonfire to gauge any reactions before breaking into a small coughing fit. No need to be alerted folks, she's okay, and the story's almost over.]
*... [She leans over the fire for that spoopy aesthetic.]
'This isn't fair! This isn't fair!' she screamed. A pebble hit her square in the temple, before small stones. The villagers fetched more from the child's pile, and soon, like vultures, they were upon her.
[Wow okay that deep voice really hecked up her throat. She leans away from the fire now and sits back down.] * ... I'm done now.
‘The Boy Given to Darkness’ by Rhys
@sixsmolsouls
Rhys took a deep breath, wringing their hands together anxiously. Was this an okay story? They guess they'll find out...
"A-ahem,,"
They pulled an origami figure out of their pocket and held it tentatively between their hands.
"D...Did you know that the dark is really scary...?"
"You can't see... and it's suffocating. Things happen in the dark and you can't even see it.." They swallowed, eyes focused on their hands."No one else sees it either. Or they try not to see it. Because the dark... is really scary.."
"A long long time ago.... there was a little boy.. and the dark hunted him wherever he went. People would take them in.. care for them... but the dark always came and it always took them away."
"But... not really take... because the people gave the little boy back to the dark. Because the little boy was too much trouble. He would cry too loud or not eat or not sleep, and the people thought he was... too much trouble."
"That he wasn't worth it..."
Rhys was slowly folding the origami. A tired smile on their face.
"There was always the same punishment, for the little boy, he had to let the dark do whatever it wanted to them! Anything... it wanted."
They swallowed.
"Anything it wanted at all...."
"It was like a game to the dark, but it was life for the boy. And he always ran and he tried to get away but... no one thought the boy was worth it. So he always got taken back.."
"They didn't think there was anything wrong with the dark because ... they liked it. Everyone seemed to like the dark! N-no matter what it did...."
Rhys took a breath, shifting in their seat. Fire illuminating their face. They had folded a person-like figure from the white side of the paper.
"So the little boy thought... I'm wrong. Even if the dark does terrible, horrible, b ad b a d things to him, he had to be wrong. He was wrong, and the dark was right. Because everyone said so! And It had to be true because he kept losing."
They placed the little figure on the ground and the light from the fire caused a large shadow to be cast. Miraculously, the shadow looked like a large man with his hand on a child's shoulder. And the man was smiling.
"So the boy decided to stay. And the dark won. And the little boy's punishment, became their life. And they'd do anything for the dark... They'd be anything.. because.."
"They were really only worth anything to him..."
"T-the end!"
‘Mina’s Doll’ by Sabrina
@friskandmisc
Well you have all had such wonderful stories I hope I do not disappoint you with mine... ahemm....
One upon a time there was a girl named named Mina. Mina was kind and sweet but was very lonely. her parents hardly ever payed attention to her and were far to busy to play, And her brother was mean and picked on her, the only persons she truly loved was her grandmother, who they had come to live with as they were moving. She was not her father’s real mother but a step mom but she loved Mina all the same. She was a successful toy maker but was a bit of a town pariah for and was known by the towns children as “the witch who lived in the old house”.
One day Mina’s grandmother decided to make her a doll so she would not be lonely. The grandmother had made the doll from scratch herself and made it in the girl’s exact image. While Mina watched her grandmother sew it she tried to help and pricked her finger on the needle and a drop of blood fell into the dolls body before being stitched up. The Grandmother smiled and comforted her and said it was okay and made the doll even better now! The doll had a piece of her in it so the doll will always know how she fells, and love her like a sister. When Mina’s Round blue eyes locked onto the dolls blue button eyes it was love at first sight. She named the doll “Mimi” as in “Me Me”; a second her. Mina and Mimi were best friends and did everything together. They played and spent every night together, ignoring all her other toys.
Soon Mina began to talk to the doll and giggle as if the doll has responded. She referred to the doll as he twin sister and treated it as if it was real. Her parents were displeased with this unhealthy behavior and did not want people to judge them it in public. One day Mina was playing with Mimi when her brother and his group of friends came over to hang out. They took one look at the girl and her life sized doll twin and began to tease then. They called her “weird” and a “freak” for her closeness to the doll. The brother did not want to seem weak in front of his friends and took the doll from mina’s hands and took it away to impress his friends and for the boys to “play” with.
Mina ran to her mother and father but they were busy and just told mina that she had to share. Mina cried and tried to be patient and wait but grew anxious without her “sister”. During that day mina grew sick and pinpricks appeared all over her body which bled and caused her a great deal of pain. Large clumps of hair fell out, but not all the way… the hair was broken off and straight as if cut... It eventually stopped before they were going to take her to the hospital. Nobody knew what had happened. Later, The brother returned from hanging out with his friends and gave the doll back… but he and his friend had mangled it, but They had cut off it’s beautiful brown yarn hair and stuck pin and needles into it. The parents merely scolded the son and shrugged it off as “boys will be boys” but they also scolded Mina for getting so worked up over a “silly doll”. The Grandmother was shocked at their parenting and comforted Mina before she ran in tears to her room.
Mina took the doll back and held is close crying, she apologized to it and asked her to forgive them. Mina fell asleep. But.. a scream woke her from her slumber in the middle of the night. It came from her Brother’s room. When she arrived her brother was sitting in bed as his parents comforted him. What she saw shocked her. Pins were jammed deep all over his arms and chest and his head was shaved bald. But as stared did Her brother pointed at her “ SHE DID THIS! For me messing up her stupid doll!” The parents looked and asked her if this was true. She had no idea what they were talking about and honestly denied it “I saw her!! I SAW HER RUN BACK INTO HER ROOM!” Mina tried to defended herself but her parents didn’t listen. “who else could have done it? And he saw you!” They then snatched Mimi From her arms as punishment and claimed she was too attached to it and it was messing with her mental state, “were going to get rid of it the morning. Now go to your room and we will discuss this in the morning!” Mina cried in her room and looked up at the night sky. She saw a bright star and gazed up at it and said aloud “I wish it could just Be Me, Grandma and Mimi, things would be so much better. Her tied puffy eyes soon closed as drifted off to sleep once again.
When she awoke she smelled something sweet drifting up into her bedroom. And found a fresh breakfast laid out for her, Golden pancakes: Her favorite! Mina sat down to eat with her grandmother and looked around for her parents and brother. “Where is everybody else?” she asked but her grandmother only looked confused and asked her what she meant. “what do you mean my dear child, it has always been just you and me. Mina opened her mouth to protest but stopped herself…come to think of it..it had always been her and grandma. Was everything from yesterday all a dream? It had to be but she still felt uneasy. “Something feels missing…” Her grandmother smiles and shook her head and turned to the kitchen doorway. “Mimi please come bring us some milk.” Just as the grandmother finished speaking a girl with blue button like eyes and stringy short hair walked back in, she looked just like mina, and Mina recognized her right away as her sister. Her Twin sister, She was realized to see her sister after her nightmare and hugged her close. Mimi hugged back. “Oh did you have a nightmare? I am so sorry, but it’s okay now. I am here for you. I will always be here. “
The three Continued to eat breakfast together as a family. Mina had never felt so happy, at least that’s how it felt. It was like this all the time: happy. Before Mina and Mimi were about to head off on the bus to school however Mimi stopped her sister. “I will meet you there, I forgot my workbook! I will meet you on the bus okay? Mina nodded and ran off to the wait for the bus. Mimi went to her room and picked up her book before glancing over at a doll house in the corner of the room. It was an exact replica of the grandmothers house. She knelled down and looked at the three dolls in it.
pauses for a moment to see their reaction
Eimmet:*O-OH dearest!...T-the dolls inside that house...Don't tell me... they are...
There was a mother, A father and a boy doll, without any hair and pins in its arms. Mimi smiled at the little dolls and said with a cruel little smile in a childlike voice, “How does it feel to be a silly little doll?” The dolls did not respond but their faces were not that of a smiling happy family but that of horrified and punished criminals. Mimi smiled and got up closing the doll house leaving the lifeless dolls in the darkness and ran back out to her sister to stand beside her. They were truly connected and loved each other, and Mimi would never let anyone hurt her sister again….
….So, The moral of the story is be nice to your dolls…and your children….or you might end up like that family…by the hands of a doll…like MIMI!!
she pulls out a doll like the one she described in the story hidden inside her muff the sneaky little thing and holds it out to the terrified campers
Eimmet:*This story surely gave the creeps! No more dolls for me... gosh...
Eimmet:*KY AAA!!!*HISSSSSSS
‘Origins’ by Aswell
@the-grephil-anomaly
"Um..yes!" Aswell recalls the story Grephil has told so many times, that's stopped him from ever leaving the borders of The Dump...
"Once long ago, before The Great War, there was an innocent little ghost that loved to eat. Unfortunately for this ghost, he couldn't enjoy any of the delicacies the living took for granted. He never got to enjoy the sweet taste of a cinnamon bun, or the soft and yummy goodness of a fresh baked pie..."
He pauses for dramatic effect, just as his Father did.
"However, he one day came across a dark wizard, who offered to give him the abilities to enjoy the food of the living. A corporeal body that would let him feel, taste, smell! He accepted the offer immediately! Finally being able to enjoy what he loved most on an entirely new plane of existance! The Wizard asked for only one thing in return. A favor, which he would redeem at a later date."
"With the sign of what appeared to be an ancient tome, The ghost was blasted with intense and mystical energy. He was given a black and murky mass of slime as a physical form, and looked even more horrifying than the toughest monster in the underground! He didn't care though. He rushed to Snowdin with glee on his face, planning to eat the first thing he could think of."
Another pause.
"What he thought of first...was the souls of monsters! The flesh of children! And needless to say, he didn't enjoy these thoughts at all. But as time went by, and he avoided the public's eye, the thought became more and more exhilarating! It sounded so good to him, and he was only getting hungrier with each passing minute!"
Aswell's mouth starts to drip with something black. His eyes start growing whiter and his voice gets lower.
"This ghost..this supposedly L O V I N G father, couldn't handle himself anymore! Hee snapped, went out of his mind as the hunger consumed him!"
His eyes go pitch black, eyes beginning to run the same black goop and his voice getting slightly gargled
"His poor adopted son, who loved his Father for who he once was, tried to FLEE from the monster they now were. And what did they do? When the only thing they had in the world was horrified at them?"
he starts breathing raspily, coughing up the gooy substance as he eyes starts glowing faintly, the iris completely invisible
"H E K I L L E D H I M . . ."
" He squeezed the life out of his pride and joy, impaling them with their PRECIOUS body..."
His voices gets heavier with every sentence
"Realizing what he did, he went even more insane! Going on a bloodbath across the entire underground, killing all in sight..."
Aswell's fur gets matted with black goo. How long had that been there?
"Afterwards, he decided to FIX his error, bring his darling boy back from the dead... How would do this? When He had already turned their soul to dust and the body a mangled mess?"
Aswell lets out a toothy grin, gargling madly but still clearly heard as he started speaking like a mad man.
"Necromancy of course! That, and a little BODY stealing. He STOLE the body of another monster, who looked just like his old son, and took half of his own soul, with a mixture of what his body was now made of, to make the new soul for that precious, PRECIOUS abomination!."
Aswell walks towards the fire. As he does, footprints are left in his wake of that black substance, and the goo he coughs up hits the fire, causing the flame to turn a greenish color for a split second each time it comes into contact. It's clear to see he was completely COVERED in the stuff, and as he lifts his arms up, he gets a very joyous look on his face as he looks to the heavens.
"And that was the day that ASRIEL died, and ASWELL was born! AAAHAHAHAHAAA!"
...He passes out, the goo dissipating into the air. You getting the feeling that wasn't how the story was meant to go..or that any of that was meant to happen...
‘Feeding a Shadow’ by Omen with assistance from Joe
@fusedfloras & @the-selfishsoul
Omen nodded before looking out to the crowd.
"There once was a child that gave up everything for the sake of others. It pained the child to give up so much of themselves and to see their own friends used them filled them with such hate. Yet the child never spoke up. Years upon years this, the child felt more hatred that it manifest into a dark gloomy shadow. One day, a wise old lady came across this child and saw the manifestation that others had failed to see "
It was by then that the shadow being casted by the flickering bonfire lights had stopped moving accordingly, it was subtle but if one were to pay close attention...they'd notice it.
" The wise lady ask if this child had any resentment towards anyone like their friends. The child quickly denied it and said they would give anything for their friends without a second thought. The respond from the child worried the lady as she gave one final warning, “ If you keep this up your going to end up being swallowed by the monster you keep feeding...”
It seemed to stretch, ever so slightly, to the point where it's presence had seemed to be exaggerated by the light itself. Was the bonfire getting brighter? Or was it to the others a strange illusion?
Omen's tone soon shifted as she continued on with her tale. " The child did not heed the lady instead they ignore her just as they ignore their feeling. The continue their lifestyle until one night, on a night like this. They gave up everything for their friends like always but their friends ended up throwing the child away, ditching them. “You wish for revenge don't you?” a voice spoke from the shadows. “ * I can help you with that but you first must help me in return...*
The girls shadow would start to slowly but surely stretch wider in width. It looked rather intimidating for someone of her size.
" The child was pent up with rage that without hesitation they agreed to help the mysterious voice, wanting nothing more that what was finally due to them. And at that moment of the verbal agreement was made, the child's shadow grew to a towering height with two red gleaming eyes trained on them.
Suddenly, as described by Omen, her very own shadow had emerged, looking menacing with their very own bright red iris' that stared down the camper's with a menacing glare, accompanied with a smile that seemed to glow like the fires itself.
"I'll consume your so called friends but first....I'LL CONSUME YOU!!!”
" !! "Omen turned around, looking at the shadow that stood behind her in fear, before letting out a shriek.
[And immediately! The shadow abruptly charges forward, grabbing Omen in a shroud of darkness...before suddenly, it spun around as genuine laughter rang out as the darkness surrounding the girl spinned and reformed themselves to hugging them with the shadow somewhat in an uproar at the whole telling of the story.]
"Jeez! You should've seen the look on your guys faces!!"
*~Thought my days of reporting misconduct were over. Well, hey there everyone. A very concerned goopman back again to give you the rundown on this day’s shenanigans. Assassinations! The Persecution of a Criminal!
...
And sledding..~
*~But first, let’s cover what everyone has already noticed. Temmies. Lots and lots of temmies. Including the Underground variety. Seems like Emmet successfully made contact! Congrats to you, geezer tem, and the courageous campers that helped you!~
*~Might as well get the odd one out over with. A bout of heavy snowfall overnight left the Crystal Valley in a prime condition for some sledding. Mountain trails covered in a fine fluffy layer of frost. It saw some rather heartwarming use by a few of the Justice campers actually, having a good time before that court case. Adilet @sixsmolsouls , Bobby @six-souls-chilling, Finch @tenderjustice, and, breaking the norm, the Cyan Pip @sixvoidventurers popped into the valley through some portal...I’ll have to check the rules on that. But anyways they had themselves an adorable friendship moment. And nearly missed their chance to sled as the court case was about to commence. Clover kid wouldn’t let that happen though. Adilet made sure they had at least one sled ride, and Bobby made sure it ended at a portal to the Courtroom. That must’ve been quite an entrance!~
*~Speaking of courtrooms, we’ll be covering that next! Camp Counselor Chain set up a mock trial, or at least it seemed like one, recruiting the local justice campers to act as the Prosecution and the integrity kids to act as the Defense. And the suspect? Why none other than Bored Index the Fool [ @lord-invex]! Bugbrain stood accused for the attempted thievery of a valuable artifact, a Vase engraved with Murals of Temkind. A maid supposedly found him trying to steal the vase and had an altercation, leading to the vase being shattered.~
*~The testimonies and evidence didn’t quite line up however. Invex claimed that while inspecting the vase, somebody accosted him from behind and sprayed an painful substance into his eyes. When he recovered, the vase was broken, a glove was left by its remains, and a shard from the vase was in his jacket. A maid had found him and led a securitem to arrest the pest. The aforementioned maid was called to the stand after the bugs stench finally aired out.~
*~And here’s where the the details get fuzzy. Marcy, the maid, wasn’t quite consistent with her story. It didn’t line up with Invex’s, nor what was shown on the security footage. The glove found at the scene matches one she was carrying, and fit her. She falsified injuries. And a shard of the artifact was found in her pocket! Pretty damming evidence. Prosecution and Defense were all over that. The maid was found to be guilty! Good job to Skela { @cuteskeleton07] for her excellent performance as the maid! And a shoutout to Emmy [ @two-littlesouls] and Bonnie [ @soulsofvirtue] for keeping a level head during the ordeal. A less positive shoutout to Serena [ @six-souls-in-hiding]. Discharging your firearm in the courtroom? Seriously?! Lucky you weren’t locked up!~
[[Assassinations and more, Under The Cut!]]
*~Now onto the most nefarious activity of the day: Assassins! Guess it would make perfect sense that Camp Counselor Cam [ @two-littlesouls] set up this wicked game. Janitors. Nearly invisible, know every dirty detail, and the lay of the land like the back of their hand! Three teams were established, each with their own uniquely colored peg, the goal being to sneak up and snatch the two opposing teams pegs. And it was glorious! Stealthy takedowns, blatant grabs, distract & eliminate, struggles, and reversal wars all around the camp!~
*~Notable sneaksters would be Bonnie [ @soulsofvirtue] with a whopping 7 eliminations! Darren [ @thesixchildren] creeps up in second place with 4 pegs taken. Yeah, cowgirl didn’t give anyone a chance heheheh. Here is some prime peg grabs:
Bonnie getting into a reversal war with Dolores [ @nolvlost], with the sneakthief grabbing the vaquero’s decoy, a long bullet, followed by the peg itself.
A Temgon Rider was on the prowl with his mighty steed...and was promptly eliminated by a reversal after just making his entrance. Tara [ @taras-timeline], that was just cruel to me!
Aiden [ @kindtale] the opportunistic little miscreant, swooped in on and defeated the Bonnie menace. The most unexpected of heroes! Good job kid!
Darren and Harriet [ @sevendeadlysouls] got into quite a battle in the cafeteria. Reversal after reversal, but eventually Darren came out with the peg.
Quite a battle on the lake between some friends. Ikki [ @determinedbuns] attempted to ambush her friend Omen [ @the-selfishsoul] but missed, leaving herself open to a countergrab. Which Omen promptly, allowing the bunkid to make another attempt, succeeding that time. John [ @fusedfloras] avenged his friend soon after with a bit of trickery. Did you really think he would just hand his peg over Ikki?!~
*~In other news, more delinquency! How surprising. Jesse [ @8humansouls] made quite an impressive curfew break, running rings around the temmie throughout the who island! First hiding in the Crystal Valley, then dashing away to the Floating Icelets, outright jumping off the Island to escape pursuit! You got guts kid! Too bad courage and luck only got ya so far. After reappearing in the Master Cabin, Jesse ran to the Jungle Greenhouse to hide. Unfortunately a certain Crow [ @ask-dogi] saw her and summoned the Temmies. Didn’t take long until she was apprehended and returned to the Yellow Cabin.~
*~We have unconfirmed reports of another curfew breaker, but they either didn’t exist or they were never caught. What we do know is that several temmies stopped their pursuit of Jesse after finding a rather comfy blanket to sleep on. [ @the-grephil-anomaly].~
*~Alright, that’s all for today. Thank you checkin’ out the news, and keep an eye out for the next report!~
Not to be rude but, doesn't it seem a bit late to be doing these? We've been through a whole event at this point afterall
The reports were finished and drafted before Undersoul Academy was opened, circumstances prevented them from being posted. It would be a waste to delete them.
*~Hey there campers! Goopman again, here to bring you the new! Dinner and a show this day! Or well, a show then dinner. Dinner that was a show...it was quite an entertaining day, yeah!~
*~Counselor Doggo [ @ask-doggo-things] hosted a movie session in the auditorium this morning, sharing some Gyftmas classics that were apparently near and dear to his heart with us. The first had a lot of troubling parental figures...Let’s see, Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer was the title, quirky but heartwarming enough. Don’t know what the deal is about red noses, I mean whole faces light up when I’m around! Still, accepting differences and uniqueness and whatnot, it was a good movie.
Santa Clause is Coming to Town was the next film, origin story for the bearded guy in the first film. Apparently he was quite a rebel, breaking the law to give toys to kids. What kind of mayor bans toys? Hmph...any reports of me cursing during the movie are lies. Decent film, it sparked some conversation about shared human and monster myths, and how one might’ve inspired the other.
And the last movie was A Year without a Santa Claus. Sounds like a nightmare for you anklebiters. Was actually absent for a chunk of the film, but from what I could catch, it seems the big bearded guy was laid low by a perceived lack of holiday spirit and his wife went to work to convince him otherwise. Lot of hijinks,centered around some weather deities. Apparently even elemental demi-gods love their mama. Or fear her anyways. Can’t blame ‘em when lightning strikes as shes about to lay down the law.
Quite a lot of musical numbers in these films, though what was more surprising was that the grump dog knew them all by memory heh. Thanks again, Doggo!~
*~While Doggo was preparing the evenings entertainment, Camp Counselor Cam [ @two-littlesouls] handled the evening’s festivities by setting up a Dinner Theater. The nefarious reprobate. Yours truly was even drafted to take part in it!~
*~ Dinner and a Show! While a delicious three course dinner was served at the Cafeteria, Camp Counselor Cam recruited several other counselors, and Eimmet, to act out a mystery for the campers to solve. The prestigious Sir Temsworth (portrayed by Eimmet himself) and his 'wife' Lady Temsworth (Played by Doggo dressed* for the occasion.) hosted a dinner party with the intent to donate a valuable temmie artifact, The Golden Tem Flake to a museum in order to preserve its historical importance. To that end, Temsworth invited Curatros, the museums curator (Played by Wander, hey dats me!) to accept the contribution, Articlisa a Reporter for The Daily Soul (played by Brie of @thevoidedsouls), and an old friend from cooleg, Sykes. A once successful business man down on his luck (Played by that villain, Invex @lord-invex.). Guarding the flake were a pair of hired security, Doglorian and Doglilah [ @ask-dogi].
Long story short, the butler didn't do it. Sykes, who knew Temsworth only invited him so the petty tem could rub his success in Sykes face, worked together with Curatros, who was secretly bigoted against temmies, to steal the flake. Sykes gets to one-up Temsworth and get a valuable artifact to sell, Curatros ensures that no temmies pollute his museum. And they nearly succeeded! If that damned bug didn't drop his character sheet 'utility bill' near the flakes case. Curatros attempted to pin the blame entirely on the clearly unstable Sykes, but Articlisa had taken a photo earlier, that while blurry, showed just enough to reveal that Curatros was the actual thief! Only 4 members of the audience had guessed the curator was the culprit. The majority had picked Lady Temsworth instead.
While the guests were busy trying to defuse the hostage situation between Sykes and the Lady, Curatros made his escape, leaping out of Temsworth's manor... And into the mass of miscreants bearing witness. The thief was promptly apprehended via dogpile.
And I would’ve gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids!
Can’t believe Winter actually thought I was a crook. How did she not catch on that it was all pretend? If you’re reading this Win, remind me to ground you when we get home!~
*~Seems like an eventful day actually. If any of you noticed the rumbling this morning, that was Soul Island arriving at its destination and coming to a stop. Eimmet had some plans today, a Trial to unlock some rusty mechanisms in the Soul Sanctum. A bit of finagling with a Virtue Tree, “Finding the Root of All Virtues” according to some runes on the altar, revealed a hidden stairway lined with murals leading deeper into the Sanctum. Think I have the transcripts...~
-A depiction of two Temmies arguing. One looks like the Temmies from the Underground, the other like the Sky Temmies of Soul Island -
Tem Kind was torn between aiding the Kingdom of Monsters in its war, or retreating to our ancient home.
-Another mural, showing a large group of Temmies. One, the Sky Temmies, are walking to the left, and the other to the right-
Half of us chose to return here. The other half chose to FIGHT.
-A third mural, depicting seven hooded figures in front of a mountain. Their hands are raised, and a large magical circle is under them.-
And in time, half of our kind was trapped forever in the dark.
-The final mural depicts the mountain again, but the Barrier is shattering around it like glass.-
But in time, the seal would be undone...and those Underground would await the return of their Homeland.
*
*~The stairs led to the islands landing platform where Eimmet was waiting. Right on the peak of Mount Ebott. Appears that the geezer tem needed the Island and Mountain lined up that way so he could safely leave it. Too bad he still needed help getting deeper into the mountain. Something jamming the entrance for him. Of course, being utterly devoid of such a thing as ‘self-preservation’, a lot of campers volunteered.~
*~They got to fight giant statues of the Virtuous temmies alongside the Temgon though. A Trial that Eimmet had undergone in the past apparently. Taking those out unsealed the path that Eimmet was trying to reach. His end goal? To reconnect with the Temmies still in the Underground. Cousins finally reuniting. So I guess it was worth it! But all of you will have to wait til the next report to see how that turned out.~
[[More News Under the Cut!]]
*~Now for the less sappy and life threatening news! No wait...still possibly life threatening. What kind of brat spikes cookies with hot peppers?! ‘Cause that’s what happened at the cafeteria today. Reports indicate Adam @sevendeadlysouls ‘pranked’ fellow campers by giving them chocolate cookies seasoned with Ghost Peppers. Unsurprisingly this resulted in an altercation with Aiden @kindtale when she and Alexis @integrity-dancer fell victim to the ruse. He has since apologized, even making a replacement batch of unpoisoned cookies. Good thing too, otherwise the Counselors would’ve had some stern words for him...~
*~Ran into some curfew breakers making illegal purchases from the Shady Temmie again. Bunch of miscreants in the Cafeteria, trying to pass it off as ‘a friend fell asleep here’. Looking at you Adie and Carla! Heard some Bravery campers stole from the stock earlier too What is wrong with you kids?!~
*~Alright, that’s it for today. Quite a lively one, but that’s what happens when somebody gets involved [Looking at you, plot-hijacker!]. Thank you for watching and keep an eye out for the next report!~

[You don’t need G for this cooleg! Undersoul Academy, starting soon!]
[Next]
*~Hey there, miscreants! Everyone’s favorite counselor here, back again with the news! Let’s see how everyone recovered from their night of partying.~
*~Well...apparently the chefs went mad. Words fail me. Counselor Seis, you must be stopped! Well, I didn’t hear any complaints.~
*~Today’s morning event was a round of ice fishing! Really, it was just an excuse to get that fat dragon away from the sweets and back to eating some healthier morsels. Cleaned up the river a bit in the process though, first few catches were some old tem boats that got stuck in there. Some of the more notable finds include:
Alexis [ @integrity-dancer] hooking a can of premium temflakes, and then using the contraband as bait! She caught an elusive hooded temfish, but Temgon certainly didn’t approve. Disappointed in you Kamu, you know better!
Favian [ @asksixsouls] released an Angel Tortoise from its icy prison. Too regal and inedible for the Temgon, the furworm decided to spare it. It was kept cozy and warm on their head until the temgon was able to place it in the cafeteria’s aquarium.
Adie [ @overtaleblog] had themselves a brawl with a BRAVE Buffalo fish! After a match of strength and will, the kind soul emerged victorious and crammed that fierce fish in a reinforced bucket. Some high quality fishmeat and scrimshaw there.
ExChara [ @experimenttale-au] caught quite a haul, including the first boot. A Monster’s Soul, a particularly fragile type of bass. .A 7 foot long Temgon Sturgeon. Fed the furworm for...oh about a day, the fat beastie. And her best catch was a Virtuous Salmon! The smaller cousin to the virtue fish that was already in the aquarium. Give ‘em some time together though and we’ll barely be able to tell them apart.
John&Joe [ caught themselves a Perseverant Crab. Its still holding a piece of their fishing pole even now.
Daf [ @multi-of-fire] caught a MTT Brand Loudmouth, much to the dragon’s annoyance. Thankfully it was returned back to where its obnoxiously garish scales and voice could no more harm.
[...Samson was unavailable for comments.]
*~All in all it was a good haul, so good job to all of you wrangling anglers! Can’t quite say the same for the Hunters & Gatherers though. Eimmet guided the Kindness and Determined campers in a fruit harvesting competition in the Jungle Greenhouse as the day’s major event. Two mixed teams were tasked with climbing on the massive flora to pick some rather impressively large fruits and transport it to the entrance. It was quite wild from what I heard. Wind and rain knocking the loot out of their hands, Scraps and Bubbles, nipping at their heels, devouring any fallen fruit. Or stashed fruit in Scraps case. Have to agree with Bubbles on that one Bitey, that definitely wasn’t ‘noice’.~
*~Which was all well and good until that pest Invoice [ @lord-invex] or whatever his name is showed up. Despite the campers’ best efforts to get rid of him, which included tossing fruit at him, and oddly enough trying to befriend him, the roach persisted in eating their hard earned loot. In the end, the Jungle itself had to defend itself, wrapping the bugman in its foliage and imprisoning the jerk. The campers had to be evacuated without declaring a winner, but Bubbles scrounged up enough leftovers to concoct some delicious cocktails!~
*~Lard Vexatious got the last word in though. Apparently stealing hard won food wasn’t enough for the jerkbug, ‘cause he saw fit to ruin Counselor Sol’s [ @sixsmolsouls] Secret Santa exchange. Not that he succeeded, but there was an attempt. Under the veil of a smoke bomb, Vex the Crude scattered and hid the gifts that were collected beneath the Gyftmas Tree. Rather poorly I might add. It was easy enough to hunt them down So instead of exchanging gifts beneath the tree, everyone passed them along wherever they found them! Hope you enjoyed the book, Adlai, even if you did get hauled away by the Temgon soon after. Curfew breaking miscreants everywhere.~
*~Speaking of delinquency...Crime in the Camp! We have recieved reports of a rather shady temmie being sighted on the campgrounds, and even worse they have been selling contraband! Truly nefarious. Counselor Doq [ @lvingflower ]was on the case though and seemingly chased the illegal dealer away. However witnesses claimed to have seen the odd temmie in the Red Cabin and Green Cabin. Curfew breaking and harboring criminals...what is wrong with you kids?!~
[Be on the lookout for this shady character. There is a reward of 500g for information leading to their arrest.]
*~Not that the counselors are much better. Yeah, I heard about you two jumping off the island to escape justice, Nero [ @orange-mercyfighter] & Azzy{ @bundle-of-dead-joy] ! Shame on both of you!~
*~At least there were some good role models in this camp. After seeing a call for help from a buried camper on Skynet, John & Joe assembled a team of campers and robots to dig ‘em out with the assistance of the Temmie Counsel. The rescue was a success and the poor kid was hauled back to the Master Cabin.~
*~And that’s all for today! A rather concerning amount of villain appreciation and criminal activity...maybe we should be keeping a better eye on all of you. Hmph. Well, thank you for watching and keep those peepers peeled for the next report.~

*~Hey there everyone! Wander here to bring you more news from Soul Island. New Years Eve, so expect some fun news and hopefully less violence this day!~
*~Something must be in the air. That, or its all the mistletoe Daf [@multi-of-fire] hung around the place We have received reports of three separate smoochings this day. One in The Jungle Greenhouse between Choco and Alchara [ @alex-andsometimeschara], another peck traded at the Snow Prairie with ExChara [ @experimenttale-au ] and Kara [ @thepastelhuman], and the best is saved for last!~
*~Gabe [ @nolvlost] and Frisk [ @prancing-pacifist] though they would have some alone time at the Gelid Lake. They were horribly wrong. After shocking each other with an unexpected kiss, their tender moment was promptly interrupted by none other than the Tem Dragon! With Winter [ @coldsoulgoodsoul] riding on them, the furry beast romped right on over to the lake and indulged in a bit of cacophonous ice skating, completely spoiling the romantic moment! Made your father proud, Win!~
[Captured seconds before tragedy struck.]
*~It appears that the Temgon made another friend this day as well. Allison [ @pxche] got the privilege of joining Winter on the furworm’s back for an evening of ice skating. According to the reports there was more laughing than screaming. How disappointing.~
*~Tragically foiled love wasn’t the only notable event of the day. In the afternoon, Eimmet hosted a Snow Sculpture Building Event. Each participant was paired up with another camper that they weren’t friends with, pretty much giving them a chance to change that heheh. The matchups and their creations were:
Bruce [ @friskandmisc] & Pip [ @sixvoidventurers]: Frostlor the snow wizard and their goat mount Sawny.
Skela [ @cuteskeleton07] & Aisha [ @nolvlost ]: A Sculpture of Papyrus, also known as Scrub
Extale Chara [ @experimenttale-au] & Reina [ @thefallensix]: A Sculpture of Samson the Temmie
Alchara [ @alex-andsometimeschara] & Pattie [ @six-sassy-souls]: A Snow Temmie
Orabella [ @we-all-fall-underground] & Claire [ @somenewsouls]: A Tribute to the Temgon!
Scar [ @six-souls-in-hiding] & Mumtazz [ @penumbra-tale]: Some odd janitor looking guy called Mario?
Emmy [ @two-littlesouls ] & Sydney: Did you two really build an Eimmet Sculpture?!
Liam [ @asksixsouls] & Emma [ @persevering-eidetic]: A Dog Angel Cherub Sculpture
Lana [ @forthefallensouls] & Brie [ @thevoidedsouls]: The Best Skeleton Knight Ever
IF Frisk [ @scinanigans] & John+Joe [ @fusedfloras]: A Snow Sky Temmie!
Omen [ @the-selfishsoul] & Eshe [ @fallen-determination]:A decidedly less handsome but fierce dragon on a gold hoard!
*~In other news, some brat with a bad attitude had their birthday this day. Despite their best efforts at being miserable, Cas [ @unseenintegrity] , Payton [ @sixsmolsouls], Elinor [ @six-souls-chilling], and Valerie [ @valeriejumper] somehow got Gayle [ @thesepoorunfortunatesouls] to enjoy their day. A miracle I know. As fake as it sounds however, these reports were confirmed. A shoutout to Adie for baking them a cake!~
*~Speaking of some sweet treats, congratulations to Finch for getting the closest to guessing the marshmallows in the jar in yesterdays game! 888, just 4 away from the actual total of 892! Enjoy the treats, don’t eat em all at once, okay?~
[Wonder how long it’ll take for ‘em to devour it?]
*~Of course the counselors weren’t so cruel as to usher everyone in after curfew, despite my best efforts to persuade them otherwise. It was New Year’s! So, all dorms were open and curfew was utterly suspended, giving the campers free reign to mingle and enjoy the fireworks. Did I mention the fireworks? ‘Cause there was some fireworks. The Sky Temmies put on quite a show for everyone. Doubt any of the counselors saw it though, the took the opportunity to hide away in the Chamber of Gyftmas and party...How did you not notice the salt in your coffee, Counselor Amatsu?!~
[HOiPy New Years everyone!]
*~Alright, that’s all for today! Looks like you miscreants had a good time, so I guess we’re doing something right heheh. Thank you for watching, and keep an eye out for the next report!~
Wintersoul News Report: Under New Management & Day 3 Pt.2!
[Previous Report Here!]
[Next Report!]
[Are you HOiPeD for Undersoul Academy?!]
*~Hey there everyone, your favorite Counselor Wander here to inform you all of how doomed you are. Our intrepid reporter Camp Counselor Nero has vacated the News Booth leaving the key, and job, to me. Once again, I’m given a job that I would’ve done anyways. Teasing you all mercilessly for your poor decisions!~
Day 3 Part 2
*~Now where were we…aha okay. The last report ended awaiting the results from the Robot Fights. You kids built some rather sturdy machines it seems, and quite dexterous too. After numerous long, loooonnnnng battles filled with more dodging than hits, it came down to Angel’s bot Flake (@angelfriskanddemonchara ) versus Kara’s BeepBoop ( @thepastelhuman ) in the finals.~
*~These battered bots traded blow after blow in a grueling and grand showdown. Both combatants were barely holding themselves together and quite close to overheating by the end. One more strike from either machine would decide the match. It was Flake who secured the championship, spearing BB right through their chassis and disabling their opponent. Congrats kid, you earned it! An honorable mention to the quarter finalists Eliza with her robot Bud ( @asksixsouls) and Claire with her bot Temminator!~
*~Now on to…well, even more violent news. There’s something wrong with you kids. Pillow Combat broke out in the Virtue Cabin. Considering campers were jumping out of the window during the fight, it must’ve been wild. The timely arrival of Scraps, the local Determined Temmie, quickly deescalated the situation. Good job, Scraps!~
*~Seems that the bitey tem wasn’t the only resident making friends. There are reports that Crocs visited the Integrity Cabin and even tried to teach some campers how to speak Temmish. And another report about the Tem Dragon making some friends as well. With a bit of encouragement from a completely unknown and mysterious source, the virtuous camper Winter (@coldsoulgoodsoul ) introduced herself to the dragon.~
*~ Taking a liking to the child’s polite and affectionate nature, the dragon offered to let Winter ride on its back, and the child accepted. They ran a complete circuit around the valley, child and creature enjoying each others’ company and having an enjoyable experience. By the time their jaunt was finished, it was nearly curfew and after picking Winter up like an errant kitten Temgon returned her to the Master Cabin… some snuffling was needed to usher the child inside. Good Temgon, responsible child herder.~
*~And that’s it for Day 3! Quite a busy day, but it’s nice to see so much activity among the locals and guests. Thank you for watching, and keep an eye out for the next report!~

* Greetings and Salutations reader, I am Eimmet, Host of Soul Island and Headmaster of the soon-to-be in session Undersoul Academy.
The purpose of this article is in fact a request for assistance. A call for volunteers.
We at Soul Island desire to ensure that Undersoul Academy will be an enjoyable and educational experience unlike any other that our prospective attendees have ever encountered. To do so, much planning, communication, and of course shenanigans must take place behind the scenes. We can not do this alone.
So readers, I beseech you to please offer your aid.
We are searching for volunteers with, first and foremost, experience in taking care of and interacting with children of various ages. And secondary to that, familiar with the working of an Educational Facility. Be you a caretaker of children, a teacher, staff member, etc.
Volunteers will be working from June 25th to July 8th, performing duties such as teaching class lessons, hosting extracurricular events, supervising the students, and generally maintaining a safe & healthy learning environment.
So please, spread the word, share this article with all your friends and acquaintances!
And should you feel that you are qualified and interested in volunteering, please contact us through [HERE] and we will send you a application form to fill out. My helpers will inform you if you have been accepted or denied once the recruiting drive is over.
We thank you for your time, and may virtue guide all your endeavors.
