Skye

Skye had just been standing there with a confused expression on her face, prepared for the worst and hoping for the best. The worst was that she'd be stuck there all night while the best was that she'd be treated to a full banquet with rock music and dancing. Yeah, it was unlikely, but she could dream couldn't she? Someone better get here soon, or I'll lose it. Of course, 'losing it' to Skye meant getting slightly more frustrated than before, and maybe kicking a sign down.

To pass the time, Skye took a look around camp. Many things caught her eye, especially an enormous rock climbing wall that seemed to have... lava and boulders as obstacles. That seemed a bit dangerous. A lake sat almost directly in the center of the camp with some campers canoeing across it. The thing that most caught her eye, however, was the strawberry field across the river from where she was standing. Rows and rows of greenery and dirt seemed to stretch on for miles. There was a scattering of kids wandering through the lines, bending down occasionally to inspect or pick one of the delectable treats. Strawberries were her favorite fruit by far and often reminded her of working with her mother in the shop. Her fondest memories were of the days spent eating juicy strawberries and drinking lemonade at the park, on the rare occasion that her mother was happy. 

At that moment, a girl spoke, jerking her out of her daydream about strawberries and causing her to jump. "Sorry, you startled me." She took a deep breath and smiled, trying to act as friendly as possible. "I honestly have no idea. Oh, I'm Skye! Nice to meet you! Do you know who your parent is? Have you met any mythical creatures? Were you brought by a satyr like me or did you come some other way? I hope that we'll like it here. Who knows, maybe we'll have the same parent! That would be cool; we could sleep near each other and talk about everything! I'm excited to see what kind of activities we'll do here!"

A huge grin covered Skye's face as she rambled, giving away her excitement and joy at being at the camp. Maybe it would be somewhere she actually belonged.

Cam

Cam had been waiting for a reply when someone new joined their happy gathering. He probably arrived less than a minute after Cam, though the latter hadn't seen or heard the former while travelling. After the new kid finally caught up with the group, Cam smiled warmly and held out a hand. "Hey, Newbie. Not that I'm one to talk. Anyway, I'm Cam," he said, holding his hand out for a nice welcoming handshake. "This is New Girl #1 who arrived here before me." He gestured to the girl without armor, who hand't gotten the chance to reply to his inquiry about her name.

"I wonder if so many kids arrive at the same time every time they get new recruits? Because here comes someone else." Cam glanced up the way they came and saw another kid heading their way. "Hey, it's another girl," Cam remarked, jostling the first girl he met. When New Girl #2 arrived, he spread his arms out like a tour guide demonstrating the grounds of an estate. "Welcome to the family, New Girl #2! The name's Cam, this," he gestured to the first girl, "is New Girl #1 - she was here first. Then, I came and caught up to her. Pretty soon, we were joined by," he brought his hand to the other guy, "New Guy #2. So, what's your name, so I don't have to keep adding numbers to people. I'm not that great at math."

After he was finished with basic introductions, Cam turned back toward the camp and added, "I'm getting really eager over here, so let's walk and talk some." He promptly followed {Guard #1} and beckoned the others to do the same.
