JOE RILEY ! --- twenty one ! ! ▴▴▴ swing over to cabin six for a good time

[kaidev]

xavier absentmindedly paced in front of the entrances to the cabins, for no particular reason at all — he supposed he didn’t take too well to a little bit of downtime, one where he couldn’t find a kiddo in sight or another counselor that he was closely acquainted with. coming to a halt in front of cabin six, he brought his hands up to shield his eyes from the sun’s rays, looking back once he noticed the figure behind him. “oh! i’m sorry! am i blocking the view?” he questioned, and before he received an answer, he took a sidestep to his left. “i’m real sorry, ma’am. i was just looking ‘round, i’m real sorry.”

          “Oh ! It’s no worry man ! ”  Joe smiled and did a double take. “ Hey I remember you from staff week ! Xavier right ? ”  Joe was feeling quite proud of herself for recalling the name of one the people she didn’t know and stood up stretching out a hand, “I’m Joe.”

a surprised chuckle passes through his lips at the unexpected contact, and he wraps an arm around the girl’s waist, returning the brief hug. “been a while,” he agrees before looking at the girl with raised brows. “and what cards would those be, exactly?”

          Joe looks Emerson up and down, pursed lips and knit brows. “Hmm maybe you could sneak me an extra portion of the double chocolate layer cake on Friday ! Orrrrr be on my team for staff softball orrrrr hmm I don’t know just be your sweet self.  Recipients of a Joe Riley original friendship bracelet are only the best people around as ya know.”  Joe broke into a grin.

wes made his way towards the blonde , folding his arms across his chest as he stood ahead of her , purposely blocking her view from direct sunlight . the year had been quiet for him , only ever spending time with people such as teddy . he had come a long way from where he had begun at the start of his time at the camp . fortunately , he still had familiar faces alongside him such as joe , herself . “ you alright there ? i mean you seem really into the bracelet . don’t tell me . some of this little campers have some , as well . gonna tell me who your best friend is ?  “

          Looking up, Joe was greeted by a familiar face. “Way to block my sunshine Mr. Wesley ! ” She faked pouted for a moment before answering his question in typical Joe fashion, “ Oh I’m just helping the arts and crafts director out with some samples.  My best friend? Well wouldn’t you like to know! Maybe you have a chance to be bestowed with the title if you help my girls out with capture the flag again this year...” Joe lifted her eyebrows suggestively.

“ maybe you should think about saving some of the string for the kids; you’re gonna friendship bracelet yourself out, wear your fingers down. then what’ll we do ? with no joe riley for arts and crafts–we’ll spontaneously combust or some shit. “ teddy joked flippantly, leaning against the railing of the small bundle of steps she was seated at. 

[itsjoebitch-blog1]

          Joe immediately burst into a megawatt grin and jokingly rolled her eyes. “I’ll have you know Teddy that Joe Riley is in fact in charge of all of the arts and crafts examples this summer,” she nodded down towards her bright string and took an exaggerated sigh, “It’s f o r the children.”

Jake trotted over to some random cabin that his feet lead him to. He somehow managed to take a rest and was in need for a good read before going back to his campers. Before he could see the girl who was sitting by the porch of a cabin, he stopped his tracks processing where he was. He looked at his surroundings before looking at Joe, who was sitting. At his height, the girl looked even shorter than she already was. “Oh, I d-didn’t see y-you there.” He stammered, scratching the back of his neck.

          Joe was met with an unfamiliar face and she smiled lightly, “Oh that’s no problem.”  After a moment she added, “I don’t think we’ve met before but I’m pretty sure I remember you from training.”  Squinting, she tried to recall his name but her mind was coming up short.  She stood up and stretched out a hand, “I’m Joe.”

like the moon passing in front of the sun during a solar eclipse, the bright rays of the sun disappear from joe’s face as emerson steps in front of her, arms tight across his chest. his attention is immediately drawn to the bracelet her small fingers are working on, and he nods toward it, lips pulling into his naturally lopsided smirk. “that for me? aw, joe, i’m honored.”

[itsjoebitch-blog1]

          Joe’s face lit up when she saw Emerson in from of her and she jumped up throwing her arms around him. “Hey there Stranger ! ”  She laughed and pulled away, playfully nudging his arm, “Maybe if you play your cards right buckaroo ! ”

          Sitting on the steps of cabin six, Joe was enjoying a little break from the campers.  The summer had just started and she was beyond excited for another year of more adventures & memories.  It seemed like just yesterday she herself was a camper and while that was fun, what was even more fun was doing less than legal things with her fellow counselors.  Speaking of, someone had just blocked the sunshine from Joe’s view and she looked up from the friendship bracelet she was tying to see who it was.

“man, all i’m sayin’ is that it’s going to be a bitchin’ summer. think about all the fun we’re gonna have with the kids, the campfire stories, swimmin’ after dark once the little ones pass out, and the music. no parents ‘round means we can really blast those tunes. i don’t know 'bout you, but i’m psyched.”

[itsjoebitch-blog1]

“I take it you haven’t been a counselor before ? ” Joe smiled brightly, “Well shit you’re in for a treat !  A lot of fun but also a lot of messes.  For some reason my kids always end up being the ones showing up covered in mud, glitter, and who knows what else. Rascals, all of them ! ” Letting out a laugh, she sighed and added, “I’m Joe by the way, cabin six.”
