( event -- camping trip ) finley was not a stranger to camping trips. when they were little, their father would take them, their mother and their sister out to camp in nature preserves just outside the city. they remember it being fun, but they had forgotten how UNCOMFORTABLE good ol’ mother nature’s floor was to sleep on. so on one of the first nights, they sit on one of the logs around the fire that had dwindled in size, poking at it with a stick until they hear a rustling from one of the tents. they look up and blink tiredly. “can’t sleep?”

alex thrived outdoors. he never felt more at home than he did in the forest ( i mean, he literally lived there ), and the annual camping trip was one of his favorite town events. he rose with the sun to cook up some breakfast, and he whistled quietly under his breath while his eggs sizzled over the fire. over their crackle, sound of footsteps caught his attention, and he looked up to find one of his fellow townspeople.

“morning,” he greeted them cheerily. “how are you doing today?”

   Jillian enjoyed nature as much as anyone in the Valley should — proclivity for the city was not why anyone lived there. Though now, as the sun sits, she’s wandered from the area filled with many tents, travelled through the trees. There: a waterfall discovered, something serene about it. She lies by the water, the mist coating her shoes. Rainboots, thankfully. She’s lying down, not asleep, but listening to the sounds of the earth — and, in more stereotypical Jillian fashion, avoiding the procession of people who have travelled deep into the Cindersap Forest. The warmth of the day’s sun on her, sounds of the river & the waterfall in her ears, the sound of the wind through the trees of ... rustling and footsteps behind her. She’d really wanted to be alone, thoughts of Joja and her family ( the certainty of Sloane’s tarot reading that things would turn out in Jillian’s favor versus the guilt she feels over being the one to break the news of firing to Alex at conflict in her head ) but stays on the ground, peering at whoever approaches through watchful eyes.

After depositing the food she made to the picnic tables, Maeve went ahead to the many blankets strewn about to resume reading. She took out the Tupperware of tofu kimbap from her backpack and placed it next to her. She laughed softly when she opened her book and saw that the pages were stained with a little ssamjang. She was about to pick a piece up with her chopsticks when someone sat down on the adjacent picnic blanket. “Hello there,” she said, “Have you eaten?” She picked up her container and offered it to them. “Care for some kimbap? Or maybe some light reading?” She pulled out a stack of short stories and put it between them. “I was planning to set up a little book nook later in the afternoon,” she said with a tinge of excitement. She was happy that their town had a library and and that it has been receiving much love from its townsfolk. “But you could have your pick at borrowing any of these books right now.”

Camping had not been something Ben was into before moving to Stardew. It had intrigued as a child, mostly because of all the stories he heard from classmates about their camping trips. The thing was, no one in his family ever cared for the idea. Why waste your time in the woods being uncomfortable when you could take a vacation somewhere beautiful and comfortable? So the annual camping trip was his first shot at it, and it didn’t take too long for him to fall in love with it. Being one with nature was not nearly as bad as a majority of his family had made it seem it would be. Maybe having company that enjoyed it as well made the difference. 

While he loved exploring the woods, Ben did his best to not linger too far from the campsite in case someone needed him. You never know when someone could get hurt and needed medical help. He had wandered off earlier today though, gathering additional tinder for the campfire that had been running low. Didn’t want a repeat of last year when it had gotten dark before anyone noticed they ran out and the unlucky person who had gone to fetch more ended up getting hurt.

As he deposited the wood he had in hand into the pile they were keeping it in, he heard Iseul give a playful bark, pulling his attention over towards his tent where he had left her. That’s when he noticed someone was standing there, his faithful companion sitting in front of them with a wagging tail. "Good afternoon,” he greeted them with a smile, brushing his hands off as he headed over to his tent. “Did you need help with something?” He adjusted his glasses as he awaited their response. This was also the only time most people got to see him sporting his glasses. He couldn’t quite manage putting in contacts in the middle of the woods.
