Oh! That’s nice that you found them! Maybe we can look at them together!

Really? Well, I’ll ask Vanilla just in case.

Excuse me @vanilla-essence-stuff, would you like to see old photos of Lea as a baby?

Baby photos? Uh, sure! It's not everyday you get free bl...bliss from seeing your friends in photos.

Someone broke into my room and gave me a painting??

After what seemed like a good hour and a half of driving later, the group had finally arrived at the campsite. With Mateo driving for the entire car ride as he carefully parked in a good parking spot and got out. Opening the trunk moments after he did so.

“Alright, looks like everything is set! All we have to do is wait for the other group to arrive with their chaperone and we’ll be on our way to the office!” He explained to the girls in a positive tone before noticing another car coming into the parking lot.

>> @natalie-or-natsumi <<

natalie-or-natsumi

As soon as Natalie rolled into the lot, she noticed the unique group that Spike told her so much about right off the bat as the female quickly and carefully parked right next to them. Getting out in an instant as she opened the trunk for the squad.

“Your luggage is in the back, make sure to grab it before we head over to the office!” She cheerfully told the boys, feeling excited to be able to become an adult a year early as she made her way towards Mateo to start up a conversation with him.

spike-or-kakeru

"Ah, what a bright, sunny day!" Spike seemed to be carrying nothing as he stepped out of the Professor's car. The only thing that seemed unusual about him was the windbreaker that resided in his hair, as well as a slight change in attire from sweater to t-shirt.

He started stretching his pale arms as he looked back at Jake, a bright smile forming on his face. "Who knows? We might even have the opportunity to be in the same cabin! Wouldn't that be phenomenal?"

jake-or-hiroki

Jake rolled out of the car right after Spike, sporting a tank top and a more recently brushed ponytail. It seemed as though he wasn't wearing his usual fingerless gloves, replaced by some wrapped around bandages. One can only assume it was from some incident eariler.

He laid down on the dirt, his legs still briefly inside the car. "Yeah, that'd be cool." was all he said as his muffled voice ran across the dirt.

jimmy-or-hikaru

And as to be expected, Jimmy excitedly hopped out of the car, making sure that he didn’t land on Jake as Pipotchi followed soon after. Although, his outfit looked different, sporting a nice green t-shirt and wearing a different pair of brown shorts while holding a backpack. It looked like he was ready.

“WOAH! This place looks so cool! I can’t wait to see what this camp has to offer! Right Pipotchi?” He said in an excited voice, turning his head to look at his best buddy as the monkey happily flew in circles.

Vanilla was scooting and scatting and zig-fucking-zagging all across the outside of camp, admiring all the new sights and sounds around her. She seemed to barely even notice anyone due to her surroundings, until of course she bumped into a person.

"Oh, sorry about that-" She made direct eye contact with the person, turning a bit sour to see them in front of her.

"Oh. Hey Vanilla." He was sporting a red backpack and a plain jacket or similar color, some of his hair covering his face. "I didn't expect to see you here. Even if you're a singer."

"I could say the same to ya." Vanilla's tone of voice appeared to become less chipper, but still retained some form of positivity. "Anyways, I'll see ya later. I guess." She immediately moved away from Roy and right next to Lea, feeling his stare give her chills down her spine. "So uh Lea! Haha...how ya doin'?"

“Oh! I’m doing fine! I’m really excited for our camping experience but, are you feeling alright.? You seem to be shaken up over something..” Lea politely asked her best friend in a concern tone, wondering why she was acting like this all of a sudden as she glanced over at Roy. Was he scarring her?

"O-oh! I'm good! Just didn't expect some things is all!" She looked back over at Roy, still feeling a bit guilty for always upsetting him in the past. It didn't help that Roy looked rather intimidating by default, and his jacket looking beaten up and rigid.

"Besides, we're gonna be campin' real soon! Ain't that exciting?" She attempted to get her mind off Roy as she went to go get her items, only to see them levitating out of the car.

logs-of-lucinda

"Oh. Don't mind me. Just practicing magic." The pale witch appeared to be off the ground herself, surrounded by a reddish, glossy thin veil. Her clothes were nearly unchanged, unlike everyone else. The only thing that was changed was that her ghost shirt was gone.

Lea didn’t say a word, she just looked in awe as the witch continued practicing her magic on the luggage. It was something she had never seen before so of course she was gonna stand there and watch, that’s until she heard her father calling them over.

“Oh! It looks like we’re going to the office now.” She said to the two before grabbing her items and jogging off to catch up with him. Slowing down a bit so Lucinda and Vanilla could catch up as well.

"Oh sure Pops!" Vanilla dashed over to Mateo, quickly passing by Roy as quickly as possible. She tried not to think much of him, despite her hearing a small sigh when she was close to him.

Meanwhile, Lucinda wasn't dragging far behind, despite moving at a sluggish pace. The witch seemed to be still taking in the environment, analyzing the type of trees, wildlife, and food resided here. "Hmm. I didn't expect to see pine trees here."

natalie-or-natsumi

As Natalie noticed that Mateo was calling in his group, she decided that it would be best if the others started heading over to the office as she used her fingers to make a loud whistle like sound.

“Come on everyone, we’re heading over to the office!” She called out to the squad before turning around and noticing a pink like figure leaning up against the office, it looked like she was waiting for someone.

chaotic-neutral-gem

While all of this was happening, Spinel was casually whistling along to her signature song. Holding what seemed to be a suitcase made of crystal as she continued along on her song. She was excited to be spending her time outside of homeworld, especially when she gets to see her friends again.

Roy just stood there, staring at the scenery. Unlike everyone else, he seemed rather unimpressed by the whole menagerie. Despite that, he headed over towards Spinel, considering she was his only ride here. If his parents didn't want to be his legal guardians, a 6000 year old gem was the next best thing. "Heya. We should probably head towards the office as well, Spinel."

chaotic-neutral-gem

Spinel stopped whistling as soon as she heard Roy speaking to her as she quickly perked up from her spot.

“Oh right, we probably should! Luckily for us, we’re already here!” She said in an energetic voice before making her way towards the door and opening it.

“After you!” She happily said while making a polite gesture, patiently waiting for Roy to walk into the office.

"Oh. Thank you." Roy solemnly nodded his head as he stepped into the office, passing by Jake, Spike, and Jimmy.

Roy said nothing as he moved in front of them, only covering his face even further in his hair. Spike and him were still not on the best of terms, but the main reason he covered his face was because of the blue haired kid.

The moment he laid eyes on that fellow, it seemed like his heart had skipped a beat. Was that really the person he saw on Tumblr? Would they end up in the same cabin? Why was he blushing at the thought of that kid? It seemed like several thoughts were immediately spinning in Roy's head. The blue haired fellow looked so cute, yet so familiar at the same time..

His thought process was interrupted by him bumping into someone. How ironic. "Uh. Sorry-" He opened his eyes in slight shock. The figure he had bumped into seemed to tower over him. "...M-miss...."

natalie-or-natsumi

Natalie quickly looked down to see a short red haired kid looking up at her with his big ol eyes, looking somewhat similar to Spike but only by a small margin. Although she would tend to stand her ground and scream at anyone who bumped into her on purpose, she could tell that he didn’t mean no harm.

“Oh, don’t worry about it! You didn’t mean to bump into me so it’s all good!” She reassured the other in their usual tomboyish manor as Natalie shifted her direction to the person at the front office. It looked like they wanted her to sign something, in which she happily did so.

Meanwhile, Vanilla was madly jumping up and down as she Mateo sign the papers, even going as far as to climb on Lea in excitement. "You better watch out. You better watch out! You better watch out! YOU BETTER WATCH OUT-" Yep. She was esstatic all right.

Roy was about to thank Natalie for not yelling at him, only to be interrupted by Vanilla screeching at the top of her lungs. He could only shake his head in mere annoyance at this point.

Lea let out a mixture of genuine laughter and embarrassment as she carefully picked up Vanilla and gently took her off her shoulder. Although she’s usually fine with her doing this, now definitely wasn’t the time.

“Wow, you really are excited!” She said to her in a hushed like tone before being handed a paper from her father. It looked to be the list of people staying in each cabin.

Vanilla spoke no words as she kept bouncing up and down, leaning on Lea's shoulder as she tried to read the list. However, her excitement and constant movement made that task rather difficult.

"Who's in our cabin? Who's in our CABIN??" Vanilla kept trying to silently chant, assuming that her and Lea would be in the same cabin.

Lea didn’t say anything, she was scared that she’ll hurt Vanilla’s feelings if she told her that they’re not gonna be in the same cabin as she handed the paper over to Vanilla. Noticing that the other group’s chaperone was handing the paper over to Spike.

spike-or-kakeru

"....Can these cabins be, er...rearranged?"

"Yeah. Can we swap Lea for Spinel or no-"

spike-or-kakeru

"I was considering more like Lucinda could be swapped for Jake. However, the idea of swapping Spinel for Lea isn't a horrendous idea either! Although, both of them are my friends..."

#campfire ark #Cre’s turn

“I apologize but right before they handed us the list, they said that they’re not allowed to swap people as that’ll mess up their system since they have so many people attending this camp..” He politely apologized to both of the groups, expecting them to be upset over the listing of people in their respected cabins.

>> @natalie-or-natsumi <<

#campfire ark #//I might as well kill two birds with one stone and just combine the threads together because i do not wanna make 2 threads...#//When they’re in the same area fjgjfj

Alright, my daughter just told me the list of people that are going and everything looks to be good! We’ll be heading over to the campsite at around 3:30 in the afternoon today so we can sign up so please, make sure that you have everything packed before we leave!

#Campfire Ark #Mateo Rambles

Mateo was currently typing away on his computer, looking at funny and relatable posts on his favorite website. Seeing as how he had a few days off from work, he might as well spend it relaxing at home, right? Well not exactly, you see, Mateo wants to spend time with his daughter and her friend but doesn’t know how to, so he kept scrolling and scrolling until he found a very interesting ad for a unique camp.

“Camp Choir..” He said in curiosity, skimming through the ad a bit more before getting up and heading over to Lea’s room, where he witnessed the two girls playing video games together.

>> @vanilla-essence-stuff <<

"FUCK JAKE IS ONLINE. THAT LITTLE SHIT. THAT FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT ALWAYS KILLING ME IN CALL OF DUTY THAT MOTHERF-" Vanilla turned away from the gaming console as she finally noticed Mateo's presence. She looked really calm and happy despite screaming at the TV mere moments ago.

"Oh, heya pops! How's it going?" As she looked away from the TV, Jake killed her avatar in Call of Duty.

Lea couldn’t help but chuckle when Vanilla began to cuss before noticing her father standing in the doorway, to which she quickly ceased her laughter as the lion nervously coughed.

“Hi dad!” Was all she could say before letting out another chuckle at the sight of Vanilla dying to Jake again.

Mateo didn’t know what to say, he was surprised to hear Vanilla use such language in front of him. But then he remembered his high school days where he to would cuss like a sailor over the hardest of assignments so he decided to brush it off with a chuckle.

“Good morning you two, sounds like you’re having fun on that console.” He said while letting out a few more chuckles, wondering what would happen if Nevaeh came into the room before stopping.

“Anyways, I was wondering if you guys would like to go on a camping trip! I saw this ad for a wonderful camp site that I think you two would love!”

"Well, what's the camp like?" Vanilla was a bit surprised to not get yelled, or even lectured at for her cussing, but she decided to just shrug it off and not even question it. "A camp sounds pretty cool though! I wonder what's it like to even go to a camp...It's probably Camp Choir, right?"

Vanilla's headphones caused her to perk up, since she started to hear both Jake and Spike on the other side of the microphone.

"Greetings, Vanilla! Apologies for Buzz killing you again. He's been doing exceptionally well this game!"

"Heya, what's that other stuff I keep hearing on your mic? Some kinda camp thing??"

"WELL, IF YOU STOP KILLIN' ME, MAYBE I'D TELL YA!!" Vanilla tried not to cuss at the duo while Mateo was in the room, again.

The lion was surprised to know that Vanilla heard about the camp, especially when he hadn’t even told the two the name yet. But that most likely was to be expected, knowing how the camp is pretty popular.

“Funny you say that because that’s the camp I was talking about! If you’d like, I can start signing us up for the camp and you can ask your friends if they’d like to come with us!” He suggested to the group while noticing Lea trying to contain her laughter.

“That sounds like an awesome idea! Maybe you should ask Spike if some of his friends would like to come as well!” She said with excitement before turning her head to the side to make a suggestion to Vanilla, seeing as how the duo were already online.

"Oh sure, a camp place could be pretty cool! It'd at least let me be in a place with not a lot of...karma stuff. Besides, how bad could a camp even be?"

"Actually, camps are often infested with bugs, more commonly mosquitoes and bed bugs. Camps are also known for having inadaquate shelter and a horrid lack of resources like air conditioning."

"..." Vanilla proceeded to snipe Jake's avatar.

"As I was saying...H-how bad could it be?"

"Awww man! I had a good kill streak and everything!" Jake made a small pouty face as he started to respawn, but it gave him some time to think about the camp offer.

"To be fair though, camp might be nice! I mean, imagine the stuff we could do! We could do...stuff!"

Vanilla giggled at both her win, and the way Jake tried to describe the camp. "Yes Jake, we can certainly do

s t u f f. "

Lea giggled along with what Jake had said as she looked back at her father, thinking about all the fun stuff she could do with him and her friends while having a smile on her face.

“Okay, we’re in! But how many friends are we able to invite?” She curiosity asked Mateo while glancing over at the tv, clapping every time her friends got a kill.

“Well, I was thinking that each of you could invite 1 friend to tag along since it would be fair. But if one of your friends also has an adult who could be another chaperone, then that would be fantastic.” He explained everything to the group, hoping that the boys on the mic would be able to hear his explanation.

"Oh! Another chaperone? We could certainly provide that!"

"Wait what's a chaperone-"

"Natalie could be a chaperone for us! She's only one year away from being an adult anyhow. It would be rather facile to lie about her age."

"Okay but, what's a chaperone??"

"I don't know who Natalie is, but if she's cool with y'all, then I guess she's cool with me!" Vanilla started to look over at her still untouched bag of items. She hadn't moved them since Rammy kicked her out...

"Well, I already got my stuff packed. You need any help, Lea?" Vanilla was still looking at her bag, not even turning to Lea.

Lea couldn’t help but take a look at the untouched bag that Vanilla brought with her ever since she moved in as she turned around when she heard the question.

“Oh, sure! I don’t mind! Plus you can help me pick out the best feminine clothing for the winter!” She happily answered her question in a thankful tone before looking back at her father.

“We’ll inform you on who’s coming before the end of the day!”

#Campfire Ark #//And we can end the thread here

Mateo happily nodded his head in response to his daughter’s statement as he closed the door and made his way down the stairs. Where he went back to his room to open up a sign up sheet for the camp.

“Camp Choir..” He said in curiosity, skimming through the ad a bit more before getting up and heading over to Lea’s room, where he witnessed the two girls playing video games together.
