wear your best apology

kenzie willows seventeen daughter of iris

[scott-winters]

Um… A little of everything to be honest. It just depends what I feel like that day.

[kenziewillows-blog]

Hmmm-- [She taps her chin.] Well, what do you feel like today?

[annie-argent]

Then you lose a finger and the respect of anyone who thought you had half a brain cell.

[kenziewillows-blog]

[She shakes her head.] I don't think people should play that game. Let's hope it doesn't catch on around camp. I'd hate to see people end up in the infirmary because of this stupid game.

[annie-argent]

Five finger fillet? You spread your fingers out and stab a sharp object through the spaces between.

[kenziewillows-blog]

That sounds dangerous. W-What if you miss?

[scott-winters]

It’s an alright song and all, but hearing it on repeat for the better part of a week? [he shakes his head] Definitely gets tedious.

[kenziewillows-blog]

Well, we'll just have to find you another song to get stuck in your head. [She smiles.] What do you like listening to?

[quinnargent-deactivated20140201]

Your mum? [said Quinn, feeling a slight sense of intrusion as she spoke about Kenzie’s mum] Like the Goddess Iris? Well, that’s nice. I don’t remember getting anything from mine. [Quinn shrugged indifferently] But that’s alright really. [she added quickly, not wanting Kenzie to have pity on her]

[kenziewillows-blog]

Well, I'm sure she might have wanted to give you something. [She shrugs and smiles.] She just might not have known what to get you. Some people are very hard to get presents for. [She chuckles.] But then you also get people who are really easy to buy presents for-- Like Braden, for example. [She nods.] One time I bought him Taco Bell for some holiday, I don't remember, but I swear he started crying from excitement. [She smiles.] But, whoa! Rambling. Geez, Kenz, get it together. Sorry 'bout that.

[scott-winters]

Shadow won’t turn off Thrift Shop. That song is now permanently burned into my brain.

[kenziewillows-blog]

Oh my gods, I love that song. Especially the end when that little kid's like-- [She imitates the voice.] Is that your grandma's coat? [She laughs.]

[annie-argent]

The fact that so many people have played the knife game makes me lose faith in humanity.

The song is catchy though.

[kenziewillows-blog]

Uh, knife game?

[holly-loveless-blog]

[takes it and twirls it around but it doesn’t move as well as Kenzie’s did] Wow, uh, I’m not doing this right at all am I?

[kenziewillows-blog]

[Shakes her head.] No, that looked great! Did you see how it went through all the colors?

[quinnargent-deactivated20140201]

Ah. [Quinn says nodding at Kenzie’s response, not quite believing it] Well, share the good mood, I certainly could use some. I woke up today just feeling — quite the opposite. [Quinn stares at the ribbon handed to her, and giggles; not the mocking sort of giggle but the amused sort] No thanks, Kenzie. I’d look like an absolute idiot. You on the other hand, [Quinn interjected as quickly as possible to avoid Kenzie getting the wrong impression] look pretty graceful, love. [Quinn said, in genuine admiration. It was nice, Quinn thought, to see people happy for no reason at all]

[kenziewillows-blog]

Thank you. [She smiles.] Did you know this was actually a gift from my mom? [She nods, and continues.] Mhm. She gave it to me when I first came to camp. [She rubs her fingers on the ribbon.] It was a long time ago, so it's funny that I still even have it.

[holly-loveless-blog]

[watches her, smiling] Do you have another one?

[kenziewillows-blog]

[Stops and looks over at Holly when she hears her talking. She grins and then extends the ribbon out to Holly.] Here, give it a try.

[bradenwilde-blog]

Yeah. You find someone and I’ll wait.

[kenziewillows-blog]

[She lets out an excited squeal.] Okay, I'll be right back. [She dashes off to find someone and after a few moments she returns with another camper.] Okay, she's got this covered. Let's go! [She grabs Braden's hand and begins pulling him towards the empty seat of the ferris wheel.]

[quinnargent-deactivated20140201]

[Quinn stared in mock admiration, an effort to simply humor Kenzie who was obviously high on something] I see and I’m happy to see that you’re — [Quinn gestures at Kenzie and her ribbon] obviously elated, but honey, what’re you on?

[kenziewillows-blog]

[She shakes her head, giving Quinn a slightly confused look.] Oh. I'm not on anything. [Her face perks back up.] I'm just in a really good mood today, and I don't know why. My bet's on this ribbon though. [She holds the ribbon out to Quinn.] Do you want to try it out?

[gonnamakemylifehappy-blog]

[quinnargent-deactivated20140201]

Kenzie? [Quinn asks warily. The other girl didn’t look very — sane — in the moment. No an unusual sight, unfortunately, at Camp as of late.]

[kenziewillows-blog]

[When Kenzie hears her name, she stops spinning. The smile is still on her face when she sees who called out to her.] Quinn! [She frolicked over to the girl, the ribbon still in the hand.] Look! [She twirled the ribbon in front of her. It cycled through the colors of the rainbow.] I forgot I had this. I found it again when I was going through stuff in my cabin. I love it so much.

[bradenwilde-blog]

Yes.

[kenziewillows-blog]

[Shrugs.] Okay. [She points to the ferris wheel.] You wanted to ride, right? I can probably make some camper work this or whatever.

[kenziewillows-blog]

[Mackenzie is in a grassy opening by the cabins. She's spinning around in circles and laughing, thoroughly enjoying herself. She has a long piece of ribbon in her hands and as she twirls around and the ribbon dances on the wind, the ribbon changes colors.]

[bradenwilde-blog]

Definitely. When do you get a break?

[kenziewillows-blog]

Uhmm... [She looks around for a moment and then shrugs.] I don't know. Should I just take one now?
