Grace proudly sloshed sauce into her pot of freshly boiled spaghetti, a little too much slopping over the pasta in her enthusiasm. She just stirred it with her spoon before heaping a hearty scoop into a bowl and offering to the first person to pass. “Hey, how does this taste?”

“Did you hear?! Zeff is missing! What are we going to do?!”

nico had spent enough time complaining of the cold and her own boredom, it was time to try to entertain herself. she had packed some of the essentials she remembered from her childhood camping trips (only with warmer clothes), which included her pitbull Roxie, and her acoustic guitar. her musical talent was one she hid from the world, but it was one she valued just as much as dancing. she sat on a chair by the campfire and began to play.  she hummed a melody as her fingers strummed the notes to 'you're gonna make me lonesome when you go' by bob dylan. half way through the song, she looked up at the person across from her on the other side of the campfire. "any requests?" a soft chuckle slipped through her lips and she stopped playing the guitar. "i'd play a song for big jimothy but what in the hell are you supposed to play for a raccoon?"

zachary liked to think that he enjoyed the outdoors. in theory, he did. looking at the twinkly stars, listening to the sounds of nature, spending time with the people he loved... it all sounded nice. sitting outside in the cold, however, was not so nice. his body shuddered as wind blew through the trees, and the campfire in front of him wasn’t doing much for warmth. “big jimothy should have been born in the spring,” he commented offhandedly.

This was the weirdest town Malachi had ever encountered. Hands down. The entire damn place had shut down so that they could celebrate a raccoon. As if that wasn’t strange enough, Malachi had somehow found himself on this trip. He needed to socialize more, it was what his mother would have said, and this was as good a way as any, he reminded himself; but it was freezing and he hardly knew anyone. All Mal wanted to do was go back to his mostly empty apartment, cuddle up with Athena, and watch mindless television until he was so exhausted that he couldn’t keep his eyes open anymore, but instead he was here socializing. At least he’d had the forethought to bring Athena with him. “So, this a normal thing for this place,” he asked, catching the eye of the person across from him, Athena’s leash wrapped around his hand. “Because, full offense, this shit’s weird.”

@sarayaemerson // “if you need me to shove that ex husband of yours into the lake at any point, just say the word, i’ve got you,” eddy said, a grin on his face to show that he was joking, though he wouldn’t put it past himself to actually do it.

“––and, honestly, that’s probably the most exciting thing about astronomy, in my opinion, at least. well, come to think of it, that’s if you disregard the whole debate over the existence of parallel universes, but that makes my head hurt when i think about it.” there was a beat and bowie finally glanced up from the papers in front of him. granted, the boy had never been too apt at picking up on social cues, but it had been a while since he’d heard another voice.

oh no, i’m lecturing, he thought with a shock wave of panic running through him. “i’m so sorry. how long was i rambling for this time?”

no matter what strife strikes the town, and no matter how grave it may seem at times, there is one thing every resident can agree upon -- big jimothy is the heart and soul of cape hazel and deserves a celebration every day. the townwide adoration for everyone’s favorite nocturnal critter evolved into an annual foray to his roots in the wild to honor big jimothy’s birthday. today through march 10 at 11:59 p.m. est, the entire city of cape hazel will shut down, so citizens can celebrate big jimothy’s birthday with an annual camping trip. you can post all starters for this event on the dash with the tag ‘chevent009’.
