Caleb Holderson

Despite the Wiki Wiki Fire Ring not being in use for almost a year now, the smell of old smoke and pine ripped through the air and assaulted the duo's noses. The Fire Ring was shaped like an amphitheater, with path leading down towards a massive fire pit, and with a horeshoe like of seat around it. The area itself was in a pit, so each seat behind the other sat at a slightly higher elevation.

Despite the smell of the old fire ring, Caleb sat about picking up old pinecones, trash, and other crud that had managed to litter the fire ring. Noticing Ethan's somewhat brooding mood, Caleb frowned. It was clear to Caleb that Riley, and the other counselors, hadn't exactly left a good impression on the new counselor. This was to be expected. Ethan didn't know how things were handled around here, quite yet. But maybe Ethan would be one of the better counselors, that actually put effort into their tasks, like Caleb.

Ears perking up, Caleb continued to pick up the trash, placing some of the more organic bits into the fire ring, and the more man-made into a trash can that was nearby, "The boogeyman is suppose to be a kind of ghost." Caleb said, while allowing himself a small chuckle, "The old rumor started when a couple of camp counselors were making out here, at night, and something spooked them. Ever since then, it's considered bad luck, and asking for trouble, to come here after midnight. Especially if the fire is out." Caleb let out another small laugh. Despite his humor, a little bit of worry was shown on his face. Caleb had been here for three years now, and he knew the stories and secrets of Camp Wachata as well as anyone, but he wouldn't let that affect the new-blood.

Shayne furrowed her eyebrows, and checked her phone. It was already about 1:00pm. "I think bonfire might be at 7ish. They only said nightfall, so I guess whenever the sun goes down." Shayne replied, with a thoughtful look on her face. It was obvious that the place was more of a fan of loose schedules, as Shayne had been told the morning wake-up time was at 'quarter past sunrise'. Whatever that meant.

Shayne smirked at Nico, as she asked what possibly activity the two of them could do, "We should explore around the forest. I mean, don't tell me I'm the only one whose heard about the creepy rumors at this place." Shayne was bearing a slightly nervous smile. While she had heard plenty on the bus ride over, even while listening minimally, she had seen plenty more when she had googled the place online. She didn't know the full past of Camp Wachata, but knew enough that it was considered to be a spooky place.

Shayne reached out, and gripped Nico's hand, "Come on. A brave Canadian, and a meek new kid exploring the wild and creepy of Camp Wachata. What a better way to spend time?" Shayne had quickly grown comfortable around Nico, as shown by her more upbeat attitude. While the slightly anxious smile still held place on Shayne's face, her tone showed more enthusiasm than her face was willing.
@Mr Allen J @Aluminumdude Don't feel rushed, whatsoever, but after you guys finish your interaction I'm going to timeskip to the fire.

@DrowsyPangolin @Natural Mess @Animera If you guys are about done, I'm going to timeskip soon.

@rbwls8028 @Orange Juice After waiting to see what Allen and Dude do, I'm going to timeskip both our interactions to the bonfire.
Hey guys, I'll be posting either late tonight, or probably about noon tomorrow.

Shayne slightly shuddered, at the thought of potential occupants of her bed. Shayne could handle most bugs, but there were some that just gave her the creeps. Spiders, centipedes, and cockroaches always managed to freak her out. Knowing her luck, all three were prevalent at Camp Wachata.

Shayne stood up from her place at Nico's bunk, and tossed her bag up onto the top bed. Nico made a fair point. It seemed possible that one could roll out of these beds at night. Sighing, Shayne pulled off her ball cap, revealing a head of messy hair. Running her fingers through her hair, and shaking her head, Shayne attempted to negate most of the messiness. After a moment, she turned to Nico, "So, what should we do until the bonfire tonight?" Shayne asked, brushing some of her hair out of her face, "It doesn't seem like this camp has a lot for campers to do, unless a counselor is telling them to do it." Shayne remarked, casually glancing around as if the Campmaster could hear her blasphemies of the camp.

Riley shifted uncomfortably on his feet, as Ethan asked his question, as if the idea of having a solid agenda to follow was upsetting to the man, "We got bonfire tonight at 10." The gruff voice spoke, with some sort of disdain, "As for that, we're suppose to pick our cabins, and just pick up crap around the fire ring, for tonight. Tomorrow is when they really start hitting us with the hard stuff." At this point, Riley seemed as if he was fed up with the conversation, painting the image of a child whom was being lectured by their parent, and simply just wanted to leave the room, "The activities on for tomorrow are; Boating, Fishing, and Hiking up Lookout Mountain. At least, that's what it's suppose to be." Riley was now bearing a smile, an almost mischievous one.

Caleb sighed at this. This had happen the last two years with Riley at the helm of things. The Campmaster would attempt to decide what the camper's activities would be, but due to his absence, Riley would almost always change up the plan. Instead of boating, fishing, and hiking, it was likely to be something like swimming, sneaking beers while campers weren't looking, and sunbathing. Glancing over at Ethan, Caleb frowned, showing his obvious distaste for the situation. "Ethan and I can clean up the fire ring. That should occupy us for a while." Caleb said, turning back towards Riley. Caleb felt bad for volunteering Ethan to do the job for him, but at least then Caleb could talk about Riley, and the others, to Ethan in private.

Riley just gave a simple nod to the duo, and turned back to his group, but not before throwing a remark over his shoulder. "Don't let the boogeyman get you. Wiki Wiki Fire Ring is a ways out there."

Caleb simply shook his head, and beckoned Ethan to follow him, as he started towards the outskirts of the camp. The area of the camp surrounded in deep, and dark forest.
Hey, sorry guys. Got caught up with a bunch of buisness with friends. Will most likely post late tonight, or early tomorrow. Sorry about the wait!
@Sightles Sorry, been sort of busy with work, I should hopefully be able to reply quicker now!


It's no problem! You have nothing to be sorry for! Glad you're back.

@Sightles My goodness! I must say your sincerity and kindness in all of this is winning me over! XD But if once or twice a week posting on my end would be ok with you, Sightles, then i might just join this RP to be honest.

If i make a couple of OC's for this roleplay, though, would you have preferences for if they are campers or counselors?


Honestly, I don't have a real preference. I want the members of the thread to play roles they'll truly enjoy, before they meet any specific quota I have. I can tell you that we are lacking a girl counselor. Otherwise, whatever role you end up picking, is fine with me! As long as you guys are having fun, I'm having fun.

It also seems like the thread speed has died down to a speed that would be much better for you. While it's still faster than a couple posts a week, it won't be so fast that you miss 20 some posts or something. :)

@Orange Juice @rbwls8028 I'm going to post later tonight, about 10:00pm CST. I would right now, but I am about to head out with a couple of friends. Will post as soon as I get back.
@Sightles Hey, Sorry. I'm around. I read your post. I'm quite stumped in terms of where to go from here. Seems like our part (counselors) of the post are going slower than others (campers) in terms of time frame.

Should we skip to campfire timeline after my greeting session?


I was thinking about doing that. Was going to do the greeting, and then probably make a big post about time passing. Going to let some of the other interactions play out some more.

Sorry I didn't post yet, I was just trying to come up with the sensible way of approaching @AluminumDude's character. Well, I could just cheese it and have him bump into him, or use the equal copout of "I should make friends!"


If you'd like to, you can wait until I timeskip us to the campfire. It shouldn't take too much long for everyone to get to a good stopping point for me to advance a few hours.

@Natural Mess @Animera @DrowsyPangolin @Orange Juice @AluminumDude
Hey, @rbwls8028, it's your post with Ethan

Also, @Orange Juice, you around?
Shayne Kowalski

Shayne smiled, and gave a chuckle at Nico's joke. She was glad that her excitement wasn't taken as an annoyance, and that Nico could joke about it. Readjusting her strap as well, Shayne followed Nico in the practically empty cabin.

The cabin itself smelled overwhelming of pine. But not like the fresh kind of pine that you could really inhale and be refreshed by. No. This reeked of an almost artificial pine smell, practically like Pine Sol. It wasn't quite strong enough to knock a person on their feet, but it was very disarming if an unexpecting person entered the cabin. Rubbing her nose gently, Shayne went over to the same bunk bed that Nico had just place her things on, and set her things on the bunk above her. The beds themselves seemed nice enough, but they could do with a little extra room.

While the cabin itself was nice enough in appearance, minimal dust and it didn't look as old as it was, there was a certain feeling of weirdness. The cabin itself was built in the shape of a 'T', with bunk bed lining the walls. As for windows, once would be surprised at how clean they managed to be, but one could tell their age easily. It appeared, that despite the best efforts of staff, time had still taken it's toll on the place.

Perhaps the nicest thing that Shayne noticed about the cabin was the nice breeze flowing through it, which came from the back area. Air conditioning. Shayne almost let out a small sigh of relief, as the cool breeze brushed up the back of her spine. While today hadn't been a particularly hot day, one does miss the refreshing feeling of a working air conditioner.

Sitting down on the bunk that Nico had just placed her things on, Shayne glanced up at Nico with a big grin, "These will be our beds for about the next month and a half." Shayne mentioned, her tone a sad mix of somberness and partial excitement.

Caleb Holderson

Caleb smiled. Ethan definitely seemed smart enough, and definitely on top of things. The business-like demeanor around Ethan was hard to deny, at least for Caleb. He was new, no doubt, but he seemed to carry himself in a way that gave a person the impression of experience and confidence. Caleb could see why he was hired. He'd be a star amongst the slackers and bums that made up the normal corps of counselors.

"I doubt you'll have any fight trying to get the farthest east cabin. That'd be cabin #2, by the way. That cabin is always the last one to be claimed." Caleb said, smiling as he did so. He was stuck with the same cabin his first year. The days it wasn't foggy, during that year, the sun would shine right on his eyes, bright and early at 6 A.M.

Caleb glanced around, not taking him very long before he spotted a small congregation of more veteran counselors. "Here, come on. I'll introduce you to the counselors that are the more senior ones." Caleb said, as he led the way over to the group. The group itself was made up of a lanky and tall man, complete with long shaggy hair and thick rimmed glasses. Along with two girls, who in comparison to the lanky and tall man looked like gnomes, that seemed to radiate a sort of excitement. The final member of the group was obviously the oldest. Probably nearly 28, with a full beard to match his age, the man was packing on muscle the same way an athlete would.

Approaching the group, Caleb cleared his throat, "Hey, guys, this is Ethan. He's one of the new counselors this year." Immediately the group turned to face Caleb and Ethan, each sporting a half-welcoming smile. It was lackluster, but it seemed like it was the best effort the group able to make. Turning towards Ethan, Caleb began to introduce the members of the group to him, "The tall one is Fred." This introduction provoked a small hand wave from the tallest member of the group, "The two girls are Lacey and Louie. And the oldest one is Riley." The two girls both gave a similar small wave, along with a bright grin towards Ethan. Riley, however, outstretched his hand to shake Ethan's, "Nice to meet you, man." Riley said, with a gruff and deep voice.
