SETTING UPDATES:

• Spring has sprang! “It’s sprung” no it isn’t! It has sprang. The air smells overwhelmingly like flowers, half because like 50% of you have flowers that you plant in my grass and half because the fae woods have decided to kill you with floral scents. You know how you walk into a perfume store and get assaulted by roses? Yeah.
• The sky rift remains. Sometimes, you swear you see a large eye blinking at you before it disappears.
• There is no more snow and you will all have to leave your Grove stuff behind for the month because oops! We’re going to summer camp! “It’s April” we’re going to summer camp fuck you! (your gardens/items/dogs/houses/the stove you left on will be fine, as with any event where I put you in a secondary location) (you can also bring your pets to this event if you want)

PLOT UPDATES:

• Anyway yeah, so some of you (more than I expected) requested Visions of the future and then realised we were doing summer camp. Surprise. :) Rubie said “we should do an event based on Cabin in the Woods” and my third eye opened and I bastardized it into something else (I have never seen Cabin in the Woods).
• Mr. Bone-Jangles is doing his usual of trying to bring you somewhere fun. Suri is doing his usual of trying to interrupt this. Magic collides and suddenly: you are all at Camp Diamond Lake (thank you Aspen for this name) where your Camp Counsellors the NPCs, and the Boss of the counsellors is Mr. Bone-Jangles, who is planning the activities and being sad when they inevitably go wrong. No one besides Bone-Jangles wants to be here. You would think he and Suri would realise at this point that whenever they clash there are situations but alas.
  • The counsellors are wearing red shorts and “CAMP COUNSELLOR” shirts and yes, Suri will be here in the form of a human man. For our newbies, a human Suri’s appearance: Suri will appear as a very tall dark-skinned man with red eyes and black sclera, covered in scars- if it’s gold it will come as one mark, if it’s silver or black it will come in sets of 3-5. He has long dark hair, think to his mid-calves, and he is unfortunately extremely handsome. Those who’ve seen him before will note that physically he seems to be in better health! Aside from the new black scars. Those weren’t there before.
  • You cannot attack or harm any of them, but they also can’t harm you! An invisible barrier and suppression of attacking willpower prevents violence in either direction. Mr. Bone-Jangles said peace will happen thanks.
• During the duration of your vacation month (at camp) everyone will have a traditional summer camp uniform consisting of shorts and a T-shirt. No, you cannot switch into something else unless you’re showering or swimming in the lake; magic will automatically change out anything else you try to wear and public nudity is not accepted. You are permitted one (1) light jacket and one (1) set of pyjamas for the cold and also sleeping. It’s a uniform! You have to wear it! Swimsuits are standard summer camp levels of appropriate (swim trunks or full coverage swimsuits depending on preference; no bikinis or speedos). All clothing is colour-coded to match your cabin assignments, elaborated on below.
  • All 18+ characters are cursed with the fuckass booty shorts where the text is customizable; highly recommend looking for cursed booty short text online for ideas. Have fun assigning your character’s ass cursed text.
  • Characters under 18 get standard knee-length shorts, but the cursed text is on the back of the shirt instead.
  • No, I am not changing this. You will suffer Stan Pines in booty shorts or I will insinuate that you’re weak.
• I will put your cabin assignments in tables at a later date, I don’t feel like coding another fuckass table today I’m sorry guys it’s Monday and I hate how table coding works. Please be nice to me. (These are also completely randomly assigned using wheel of names so I’m sorry?)

    • (You guys are one short since we only have 41 dudes)
    • Cabin Counsellor: Mr. Bone-Jangles (who is also, again, Suri’s Boss basically-)
• I am sorry some of your characters are sharing cabins, I will allow big playercest on any mass cabin logs this month if you want and give it a pass because the wheel chose some groups badly and I don’t care about the laws of DWRP. Just like, be reasonable about it you know.
• Your cabins have enough beds to accommodate up to six people. I lied slightly on Lina’s vision (sorry, the math was wrong at that time because we’ve had a few apps and drops since then) but there are three bunkbeds per cabin, all twin size unless your character is like 7ft tall and then they’re a little larger on the bottom bunk only. It’s up to y’all to fight over beds or share them or whatever, but importantly you will always go to sleep in your cabin, as sleepy magic simply makes you suck it up and deal with your roommates.
• Short list of the other things going on:
  • The showers are all outside in shower blocks and have privacy curtains; each cabin has one half-bathroom. Please do not hog it.
  • The mess hall stands tall by the lake and is enchanted with truth magic (thanks Zonari), compelling you to tell the truth to your peers you dine with, regardless of team assignment. Sometimes you may just blurt something out. Despite this, the food is really fucking good, because the kitchen staff (Bone-Jangles’ wife and kids) are damn good cooks.
  • Curfew is 9pm; you will wake up at 6am. For some of you this is a death sentence I’m sure. Anyone with “can’t go out in the sun” disorder will find that they can go out into the sun, though! If you stay up past curfew this is your skill issue to deal with when you are dragged out of bed at 6am.
  • There is alcohol in the mess hall if you ask Ms. Bone-Jangles really really nicely.
• Summer camp activities include:
  • Tug-of-war is played every day at variable times during your waking hours of 6am-9pm; this is team vs team technically but can also be player vs player regardless of team. The loser(s) go into the lake.
  • The lake has a weird enchantment on it that allows you to breathe underwater and explore the depths. The longer you spend in it, the more you will transform into a kelpie. Luckily, coming out of the lake and sitting on land for about thirty minutes will undo the transformation.
  • There is a catapult. It sits a bit back in the clearing behind the mess hall. It will launch you into the lake also. (When I googled for summer camp activities, catapults were coming up???? So this is here now.) If it isn’t calibrated properly, it may just straight up launch you into a tree. Luckily, catapult fliers are enchanted not to die. Please do not die in my funny April event.
  • At night, there is a constellation finding activity where you try to find constellations both in and out of the sky rift! If you stare into the rift for too long you will get Effects, including: briefly being turned into a toad, growing extra eyes for further perception of the rift :), only being able to talk in rhyme, the skin becoming starry, etc. You can come up with effects as long as they are largely harmless and funny, those are just examples.
  • The nature hike through the woods takes you to see a forest of giant mushrooms. Like this. If you are respectful to the mushrooms, the mushroom men will give you random jewellery that someone dropped out here eons ago. If you are mean to the mushrooms, you will inhale spores that make you REALLY high.
  • Rock climbing at the rock wall is pretty normal, except the rock thingies on the wall are alive and will try to lick your hands and feet sometimes. Only when they think you’re feeling secure, though. Try to race your friends and see who can run away from having their feet licked faster!
  • Macaroni art is mandatory every Wednesday evening before dinner. There are other artistic mediums to do during Wednesday’s art class, but you must use at least one macaroni somewhere or your feet will be glued to the floor.
  • Most nights, Mr. Bone-Jangles will have everyone sit by the bonfire and roast marshmallows. This is the only normal event.
• On the last day of the event at the month’s end, you will go to bed and wake up back at the Grove. Thank God.

OOC UPDATES:

• Happy April Fool’s Month! I will try, keyword attempt, to get the event up on April 1st but I make no promises depending on how busy real life gets.
• Please do your AC/hiatus comments/drop comments if you need to/taken page comments if you need to etc etc etc. After this event Wolfie will be going dormant for a while to let someone else write the events sorry I had to have zoomies for a bit—
• If you are going to continue with the grandfathering into the magic system, please get your required journal post (outlined on the page) underway! Please! Or we will frown deeply at you.
• YDALIRQUEST IN MAY. YDALIRQUEST HAPPENING IN MAY PLEASE LOOK FORWARD TO IT i'm holding myself at knifepoint to not drag this out any longer.
• Loveyouguybye :)
