⯨ ⸺ 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤, 𝐜𝐡. 𝟕𝟏𝟐. 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝟒𝟑𝟎𝟑𝟏 , the omen .
a long bus ride and a bunk assignment, all over again ... don’t you worry, counselor, i’m talking about the kids’ duties. which can be … yours, sure, but well, let’s focus on the good for now. you are responsible for saying : welcome to camp hollow, everybody ! and please, make sure to smile while doing so. we know the staff survived training (barely), and now it’s the kids’ turn to sweat, smile, & maybe bleed a little.
⸺ what’s on the menu?
the red moon luau : tiki torches, dollar-store leis, and a punch bowl that looks a little too … red. music’s playing, shadows are swaying, and if you swear you saw someone slip into the treeline? no you didn’t. grab a dance partner, grab a (NON ALCOHOLIC) drink, and hope the fire only crackles.
hike & hive : the red moon didn’t kill ya? great! you have a camp tour the next day. and oh, it comes with a special guest : an angry swarm of bees (or are they wasps?). maybe they’re normal. maybe they’re not. either way, running, swatting, and screaming are encouraged. bonus points if you don’t trip over a rock.
thoughts? prayers? i bet you gonna need those. look alive! and enjoy it. the colonel will drop some news soon, so get your ears ready. and your blankets. the red moon always brings the cold, maybe the rain … anyways, summer miracles, am i right? thank you for your time, counselor.
our chapter two is here, players! kids will arrive, luau is happening, and a little tragedy is coming as well. need help to write away? come with me, i got candy & prompts:
red moon luau :
1. someone swears the ukulele player is playing backwards. how would you even tell?
2. your drink tastes wrong. sweet, bitter, metallic — what is inside it?
3. the fire cracks, and for a second, it calls your name. you’re sure of it.
4. a shadow joins your dance circle. you count the campers again ... someone’s extra.
5. you wander away to toss your cup, but the woods seem closer than they should be.
6. a counselor takes your photo. when you check it, someone else is standing behind you.
hike & hive :
7. you feel the first sting — but when you slap your arm, there’s no bug, only a human-like bite mark.
8. the buzzing follows you even after the swarm scatters. maybe it’s just in your head.
9. you trip over a root and land in something sticky.
10. a camper panics, and suddenly you’re in charge of keeping them safe.
11. the insects seem to target only you. what did you do to deserve this?
12. a kid screams — but it’s not from a sting. something else grabbed them.
hope this is helpful, dearests. a plot drop is coming by the end of this month. and another campaign will follow along as well. our timeline will need an update as well, so wait for it. hope everything is ok! #chapter2!hellas is your hashtag for this one. feel free to reach a bloody hand out if you need anything & have any suggestions! have fun and happy writing! <333
