Adrenaline rush long subsided, simmer down after. Dawn breaks with the sunrise, and for the rest of the day, it's a chance to breathe. Taking a dip in the sea, exploring the rest of the island, catching up on the hours of sleep missed from the race earlier that morning. The day is yours to spend as you like until it's that time between high noon and sunset, and the boats (or air mattresses) need to be taken to the water.
"You're telling me we dragged these freaking tents over only to just leave them here?"
Yes?
(It's not another race, if that's what you were wondering.)
"Can you please paddle faster?"
"Why don't you give it a go with a pool noodle then."
So where to?
BACKGROUND
After traveling a mile over water, they’re here at last.
With a sweeping rocky sea cliff to the north, a lush mangrove near the shore, fine white sand, and nothing but clear blue water all around for seemingly miles on end, it makes this place a perfect getaway.
The owner of the island—formerly an Alpha himself—had thought the same. It'd been bought in the first place to develop it into a camping resort, only for such plans to be abandoned. Now, all that remains from the endeavor are the luxurious wooden beach cabins that overlook the beach.
So take it easy, Monsters. Sit back. Relax.
Enjoy your stay.
BEACH BONFIRE
The sun dips well below the horizon and a kindling fire begins to burn by the beach. The trees sway with the light sea breeze, as does everything else. There’s no better way to end a long day than a seaside rendezvous, beer in hand, beach towels over their swimsuits.
It kicks off with a little show for starters: per school tradition, it’s a chance for first years and others to show off their powers at the bonfire. Be it to assert dominance, impress the one you’ve been making eyes with for the past half hour, it’s all in good, (mostly) harmless fun.
After that? Well, the night’s still young, baby. Make it yours.
EXPECTATIONS
Welcome to PART TWO of Real Monster’s opening camping event! We’re going to cut some slack for our students here and let them have some fun. The expectations are that everyone lodges in their respective cabin groups from Muuido, but given that this bonfire is meant to last all night, that might not be a problem.
The general schedule is as follows:
4:00–5:00PM Store boats, paddles, etc. on the southernmost side of the island.
5:00–6:00PM Settle down into the cabins and preparations for the bonfire
7:00PM– Bonfire on the beach
Please tag your threads, prompts, starters with #rme: camp02. You have until August 14th 2018, 11:59PM to submit links to your bonfire show-off solo prompt (should meet a minimum word count of 250 words), but otherwise feel free to keep writing beyond that date with your threads!
