- Five troubled teens.
Five different diagnoses.
One camp.
One escape.
And one hell of an adventure.
Camp is supposed to be fun. You eat smores, get tortured by pests, and try not to think about
what you just stepped on in the shower. As such, Quaker Lakes, situated deep within the Nevada
desert, promised to “provide an atmosphere of worship, healing, and recreation,” but instead you
had to wash down your sins with a heavy dosage of group counseling and your trusty bible. Not to
mention that you had to appreciate a curriculum tailored for monastery monks. To say this wasn’t
your idea is an understatement, though. I mean, who sends their troubled teenager to camp
instead of the hospital? Crazy people, that’s who. Still, at least you have friends. This place would
be like watching paint dry without them, so try to count your blessings. No, really, that’s an
assignment.
Okay but seriously, at this point, who could blame you for running at first chance? It it wasn’t for
those sadistic camp counselors or your clueless guardians, you wouldn’t have fled in the first
place. You want excitement. Adventure. Why waste a good summer sitting in prayer? Most
people would say it's a bad idea to embark on an illicit road trip with four people they met in a
camp for troubled teens, but hey! What do they know, right?!
Anyway, good luck champ! You’re going to need it.

ʀᴜʟᴇ ᴏ1 ► g a i a ' s x t o s
Follow Gaia’s TOS… obviously.
ʀᴜʟᴇ ᴏ2 ► p o s t i n g
This is going to be a “lazy lit” roleplay. Write well, not long. 2-4
paragraphs per post (barring introductory posts, I’m sure), although
obviously it depends on what’s going on at the time. You get the gist.
ʀᴜʟᴇ ᴏ3 ► c o u r t e s y
Don’t get cliquey. The whole point of a group roleplay is to
roleplay in a group. Fellow courtesy to the other roleplayers is a given.
ʀᴜʟᴇ ᴏ4 ► c h a r a c t e r s
No Mary Sues / whatever. If your character can sing like an
angel, is super intelligent, great at dancing, but also a fostered orphan
who is quiet and meek and the most beautiful nymph in the world, then
move along.
ʀᴜʟᴇ ᴏ5 ► m o d e l s
Only real models. No celebrities, though (and keep in mind that
some models can be celebrities). If you need help finding someone that
fits the criteria, feel free to ask.
ʀᴜʟᴇ ᴏ6 ► l a y o u t s
As far as post layouts go, try and make it nice. If all else fails,
I can always try to slap together something for you.

The target number is 2 girls, 2 guys, and 1 wild card. However,
if your character is a guy who is open to relationships with other guys,
then we can be flexible with this quota. Potentially.
Please make your characters real, believable humans. This means that
you should have a basic grasp of the "diagnosis" they're suffering from.
Feel free to exacerbate on their issues or minimize them, depending on
their origin. Also, you don't have to take the blurb too seriously. That's just
to give you an idea of what we're looking for, here.
Also, keep in mind that this is meant to be, more than anything, a comedy
roleplay. Bold, crazy, and over-the-top are all welcome, but please don't
pile on the angst too hard. Nobody wants to be around a whimpering,
shy angst machine. It's just not as fun that way, you know?
it isn't fair. you were so close, so close to finally slipping away for
good... too bad you didnt, and ended up in a hospital instead. your
parents think this is the best thing they can do for you, but what do
they know? they didn't seem very interested when you spent months
depressed and alone. if you weren't so bitter over the whole thing,
maybe you wouldn't be running now. but forget that. at least your new
friends seem to actually give a s**t.
ooh, you're bad. so, so bad! what a real special kid you are,
huh? i mean, that's why you make s**t up all the time, right?
you feel inadequate and boring in your normal life, so pretending
is the next best thing to being, you know, actually interesting.
too bad your family now thinks you're some kind of unhinged
troubled teen deserving of institutionalization. actually... that's
kind of cool, isn't it? you used to tell people that you were
in mental hospitals before, but now that it's actually happening...
well, maybe it's not so cool after all, huh?
you always take things a step too far, don't you? "one more hit, one
more hit". well, that ended with you blacked out on a gurney, didn't
it? good job, loser. as if going through withdrawals in front of you
family was bad, now you have to spend all day listening to some jerk off
on an acoustic guitar singing about jesus while you try to keep your
s**t together. being sober sucks, and these jesus freaks sure don't
keep any s**t on them. maybe getting away for a while would be a good
thing... you know, it's a big world out there. a big world filled with
a whole lot of drugs.
