Camp Wachata: Summer Fun For Everyone!

Sorry. Had some things come up last night, and it prevented me from getting back on. Going to work on my posts now.

@Mr Allen J Okay, awesome. I'll work on the NPC, and get you going. It may take me a bit longer, but I'll have it up before too long. :)

Or, @Mr Allen J, and @AluminumDude. The two of you could possibly interact, if you wanted to. I just now noticed that Aluminum Dude had posted and his character was looking around the same area Justin Liao was in.

Not for sure which you guys wanna do. If you would rather still go with the NPC idea, Allen J, I'll be game for that, or if you'd prefer to interact with Markus Roe. It's whatever you'd rather do.

@Sightles Got a few more questions about things for ya, if that's ok! :)

1. Do you have to use pictures of real people or other "realistic" pictures for OC's?

2. Taking the current speed of the roleplay into consideration, would you accept a roleplayer who posts just once or twice a week (and is unable to be here on Saturdays due to work most of the time)?

3. What is currently going on right now, since things have moved forward pretty quick by this point? XD

@Holy Grail

1. Absolutely not! I nearly used a drawing for the picture of one of my bios. Anything is free game.

2. Absolutely. I would prefer if we crafted a sidestory storyline for your character, but I'd be more than happy to have you a long. due to the nature of your posting, it may be difficult to interact with some of the other players, but I'm prepared to take steps to make sure your character still has an impact on the story.

3. As of right now, the campers are pretty much just interacting with one another, and Mr Allen J and Aluminumdude are by themselves. I think DrowsyPangolin and Natural Mess are with Animera. Pretty much nothing truly significant has happened besides chosing bunk mates and basic introductions.

I'm still interested, but waiting for the time to strike.

@Mr Allen J

Okay, awesome. Definitely do not want you to drop the thread because of lack of action. Would you like me to use NPCs to help move your characters along, or do you prefer to wait longer? It's whatever you're comfortable with doing. I just want to make sure I keep you engaged enough. :)

----------------------

I will be back on late tonight. I will most likely post then.

Camp Wachata: Summer Fun For Everyone!

Hey guys, my PC crashed. I'm getting the problem fixed now. I should be able to get on to where I can post easily by later tonight or tomorrow morning. Sorry @rbwls8028 and @Orange Juice if it takes me a little while to post. I will post ASAP.

Also, @rbwls8028, if Orange Juice hasn't posted when I get back on, I'll go ahead and post with Caleb so you have a post to respond to.

Shayne Kowalski

"You're from Canada?" Shayne asked, with a tone that betrayed just how excited she was. It seemed such a silly thing to be enamored about, but not to Shayne. Canada was just as exotic as Europe to Shayne, and why not? She had never met anyone from Canada, yet she had heard people talk about it. It didn't help her excitement that the two of them were here for almost identical reasons. Shayne bore a toothy grin, beaming at Nico, while at the same time hoping that her unexpected excitement didn't cause Nico to be annoyed with her. After a moment, Shayne allowed herself to die, "I've never met anyone from Canada." Shayne softly added, as she turned her attention to the cabins. There appeared to only be five of them, and it seemed that Nico and Shayne had gotten her before the biggest surge of new campers had. That was a good sign.

"What about that one?" Shayne asked, while pointing at a cabin. The cabin she pointed at was cabin #3. It was fit snugly in the middle of all the cabins. From first glance, it appeared as if no one was in it, which suited Shayne just as fine as if it was full.

Caleb Holderson

Caleb let loose a small smirk at Ethan, coupled with a short chuckle. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just stayed up late last night with the other counselors." It wasn't exactly the whole truth, but Caleb wasn't for sure how Ethan would handle being told that the counselors often partied here at Camp Wachata. Ethan looked like the always responsible, and sensible thinking, kind of man.

"Have you already picked out a cabin for yourself?" Caleb asked, wondering how on top of everything this new counselor would be. Caleb, during his first year, had postponed picking a cabin as he was too caught up in exploring the camp. He was left to bunk underneath a camper with an awful snoring problem. This wasn't to mention the fact that the campers he was stuck with as his group were probably the most misbehaved of the entire camp that year. "If you have, I could show you around camp. Maybe introduce you to some of the other counselors?"

<Snipped quote by Sightles>

It's also a pretty big pet peeve of mine to stick characters in ongoing interactions.

@Mr Allen J

Holy crap, right? It's another reason why I hate starts of a thread. You either enter an interaction between two other players, and turn it into an awful three way conversation, or you're just alone for a bit.

I'm probably going to start liberally using non-bio NPCs in order in a bit. I was hoping to post pone it a bit, but I might need to. @Animera hasn't had anyone interact with her, although Shayne and Nico might.

Camp Wachata: Summer Fun For Everyone!

There's my post... I didn't interact with anyone else because I thought it'd be really forced/awkward. I didn't write Jaden yet because I really didn't know what to do with him other than write him getting off the bus and brooding somewhere, so yeah.

@Mr Allen J

Haha, I love Justin already.

Yeah, I feel you. The start of threads are so hard, because every interaction DOES feel forced at some point. I get you.

Camp Wachata: Summer Fun For Everyone!

Geez, up to 13 posts here already!? Talk about breakneck speed! XD

Hello again, @Sightles, just looking things over here as part of my scouting things out.

@Holy Grail

I know! It's going a lot faster than I ever expected. Haha.

Alrighty! If you have any questions, please ask! Hope you decide to join. :)

Camp Wachata: Summer Fun For Everyone!

Time to get started on my own post. After I shift through the current posts and decide where to stick my characters.

@Mr Allen J

Alrighty! Can't wait to see your characters in action.

Shayne Kowalski

Shayne saw a twinkle of relief on Nico's face, as Shayne had mentioned she didn't have a bunk partner. She thought she did, at least. Shaking the thought, Shayne kept in step with Nico as the pair made their way to the girl's campgrounds. Shayne smiled, and laughed as Nico mentioned how they both seemed to be in the same boat.

Shayne nodded, as Nico mentioned she wasn't really emo. It was strange to Shayne, whom had met people that dressed like Nico, but none of them came even close to Nico's personality. Shayne smiled to herself as the age old adage of 'Never judge a book by it's cover' became apparent, "Your parents forced you to come?" Shayne asked, quietly, as she mulled that over in her head. Shayne's parents hadn't forced her to come to Camp Wachata, but it was strongly suggested to her. After a moment, Shayne shared her story, "I'm new around here. My parents decided to send me here so I could make some friends." Shayne responded, with a grin. The idea that her parents sent her here to make friends sounded absurd when she actually said it. Slightly frowning, Shayne looked down towards the ground. It was only now just how crappy her situation really was. Dismissing her frown the best she could, she looked up just in time to see that the pair had arrived at the girl's campgrounds. "Oh, awesome. Which cabin should we pick?" Shayne asked, with a small amount of enthusiasm. The question was rather a moot one. The cabins were all identical, but that didn't stop Shayne from showing her excitement.

Camp Wachata: Summer Fun For Everyone!

@Sightles Is it cool if I write that Shayne starts walking with Nico towards the cabin? Just so it makes more sense for Nico to begin talking while walking haha.

@Orange Juice

Yeah, absolutely. That's fine with me. I was expecting them to start walking there.
