“It is nice. A good day to arrive, weather wise. Alan. I suppose we’ll be rooming together. Or cabining. Or whatever the term is. Good to meet you. ”

"Hey, you too. Wonder if there's anyone else?.." Greg wondered aloud. He took a step forward to shake Alan's hand, and was slightly surprised when he withdrew it to check his phone. Greg's own phone went off about a half-second later, and he pulled it out. He skimmed over the text, half-mouthing the words silently as he read.

'Welcome to Camp Corona! There will be an optional orientation for you to meet other campers in fifteen minutes. Please gather by the Activities Center if you would like to join.'

[/i]'Oh, yeah,[/i] he thought, [i]'Guess this is why they needed my cell number...'[/i] 

He returned his phone to his pocket, and noticed Alan looking at him.

"Orientation. Are you going?"

Greg rubbed the back of his neck, thinking it over in his head for a second. "Yeah, guess I will." No doubt there would be others there, hopefully he could find some friends. He stretched his arms out in front of him, and poked his head in the bathroom, checking himself in the mirror briefly to make sure he was still looking good. 

"Alright. Welp, I think I'll head over now." He nodded sideways slightly toward the door as he spoke. He paused in the doorway. "You coming?"

The walk up to the activities center was brief. The people who were on the beach were now gone, probably at the orientation. That was a good sign, at least. He opened the doors to the activities hall. He stepped in, holding the door with his arm behind him for Alan. There weren't too many campers there yet, but there was a small group that seemed to be gathering at a front table, a few girls, and a lone guy.

[i]'They seem uncomfortable enough... Easier to fix that if I get a foot in the door now.'[/i] he thought. He walked up to the group, smiling pleasantly. He put his hands down on the edge of the table casually. "Hey, all. Room for one more?"
