[[Make something up, if you're stuck. Otherwise, just roll with the punches.]]

[[.... did you miss the whole flaming curtain part?]]

[[EDIT: I love Kipp.]]

"Nrgghhh....." Ialo groaned. "Thanks, but no thanks," he said, a somewhat vengeful look in his eyes. He pulled himself back his feet, rather than sitting down. In his hand was the evil walnut in question... He raised his arm and hurled the walnut back at the stage. About halfway through the trip, the nut sparked and burst into small flames, eliciting shrieks and applause from the audience.

Truce dodged, not intimidated by the projectile weapon. It landed her, setting the right curtain on fire. She continued on, seemingly oblivious.

"Now, camp rules. Bed at 11, wake up at 8, breakfast is served from 8:30 to 9:15, and.... oh, hold on..." She turned around to her coworkers and pointed at the fire. "Could someone take care of that," she asked with her hand over the mike. "And be dramatic and flashy about it." She went back to her speech. "Boys in the north dorms, girls in the south. No visiting each other, and no leaving school grounds without permission. Also, to whoever spray-cheesed the bathrooms last summer - I know where you live."

Satisfied with her work, Truce giggled, then spoke again. "Now everyone, turn and point and lough at the klutz." Her dark purple eyes seemed to gaze right Luna and Jay.

Suddenly, behind those two campers, the white-haired dragon boy jumped and shouted with resentment. "HEY!!! It's only the first day, that's not fair-YEOW!" Said teen in question, Ialo Enlil, was beaned in the skull by a walnut, courtesy of Chartreuse.

"Shush, you gave yourself away." Her dull hair had spontaneously gone into bloom, and several walnuts were decorating her personal curtain. Again, parts of the crowd broke into giggles.

Truce sniffed, and tapped the microphone again. "Attention campers - Raise your hand if you're not here." Behind her, the other counselors smirked and giggled, because they knew what was coming next.

Truce shook her head slightly. She paused. "Well, there is one thing you can do.... if you'd like to give the orientation speech, of course." She smirked. Even though Edward was a teacher assistant, Truce loved to joke around with him.

[[Naw, they aren't stuck. Dun cha worry ya little heart out.]]

Instead of answering Kipp, Truce took a step forward, her whole body seeming to sway with the motion. "Ialo!" She barked at the white-haired teen.

"Y-ye-yea--"

"-Go inside so we can start. You're one of the last people out here," she finished kindly.

Ialo bit his lip ruefully and picked himself up. He carefully analyzed his steps to make sure he didn't trip over anything else.

"Ah, Ialo-"

It was too late though, as Ialo had already walked into the door jamb with a delightful sound effect. Physically unharmed, but definitely not a good way to start camp....

"Everyone, inside!" Chartreuse, though she was by no means the Head Counselor, often ended up being the first to take charge. So, as Ialo snuck into the auditorium, the whole team of counselors was not five feet behind him. They separated when the dragon went to sit behind some of the other campers [[Luna & Jay]] whereas the counselors sat on the stage. Truce was left standing up, and she tentatively tapped the microphone.

Truce nodded and smiled again. "Well Kipp, you're one of us now." She didn't seem to perturbed by his hat of the elephant, but did think he was quite, quite odd.

Just the sort of person to hang around here.

Ialo slowly raised his face from the ground, first checking to make sure the marshmallows were okay - they were. They were also like gold at camp, as Ialo learned from past experience. Second was to check his face for cuts or abrasions. He was almost as valuable as the marshmallows after all, and what good were damaged goods? He glanced up, and gawked at Kipp, open-mouthed.

[[Oh, DUR. Forgot.]]

The dryad smiled at the rabbit demon and nodded. She had abandoned her post at the road, and had gone to stand with the other counselors by the main door. "Yes, you can check in here - I trust you were here for the orientation, and have had your resume cleared by the Headmaster?"

[[Say yes.]]

The dragon, a magnificent blue-green creature, gracefully descended to the courtyard to land. Well, in his mind, he was anyways. A rabbit... thing... had startled Ialo, causing a chain reaction which resulted in the dragon just barely landing in one piece.

In a flash of bright light, the dragon turned into a human boy, white hair, blue eyes, and a casual outfit. And, holding a bag of marshmallows. He puffed out his chest in an effort to look dignified after the whole escapade - and promptly tripped over a root in the ground, landing face-first in the dark loamy soil.
