"Get me to talk to somebody... something about bottling everything up..." she replied.

No one was quite sure how it happened, but suddenly Asakura was seated on a log nearest the fire, elbows resting on crossed legs, chin in hands, looking as if she had been there for a long time waiting for them. She wasn't even breathing quicker than her normal langorous pace. Under thick lashes her grey eyes took in the gathering of campers, assessing each in turn. Now they all were turned face to face instead of some with their backs to her, like at dinner, she could pick out each person individually. Maybe soon she'd learn their names. Maybe some already knew about her... She stared down at the campfire patch, lost in thought.

Andy beamed a goofy smile, "you don't seem very bottled too me, considering the fact that your holding my hand and talking to me without issue." He blushed, he may have said 'Holding my hand' a bit louder then he intended to.

Rin took in his words quietly; interesting take on it, and what he said did seem to have some form of truth to them. But being a silent creature, she merely nodded.
As she was finally set down (for they had arrived at their destination), she noticed the boy's smile fade, and noticed that Ken seemed to be on edge. Again with wanting two different things; did he not say he wanted a break? "Nah, I don't mind; he's been wanting a break anyways, haven't you?" she turned to Ken.
Ken was surprised to hear this from her, but knew that she was posting a truth. "Well, a bit, but I still gotta look after you. It's my job!" he answered, sitting on the other side of her.
Crystal counted faces (noticing that Asakura had arrived; interesting, she didn't look worn out at all!), and realized one was missing: Lexxy. Strange, did she miss him at the cabin, or did he go wondering off? She went up to Benny.
"Eh, go ahead and get started; we still gotta find one more person, so I'll go and-"
"Couldn't gather them all, I take it? Well, the place IS rather large; just stay here, and I'll get Matt to go find him." he said, and on that note Matt nodded and left for the time being, to go find the last camper.
"Do we have everyone else?"
"Yeah, the rest were easy to find."
"Good, good. Time to get started then."
"You done looking at your notes, Mr. I've-Had-This-Prepared-For-Weeks?" she asked him, a sarcastic grin on her face.
He looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "Quiet, you. We're already running late as it is." and with that, he went up to the front and looked about, waiting a moment til all were settled.
"Alright; I think we've got most of the people here. Good evening, and welcome to Camp Louvewings! I'm Benny, your head leader, and you've already met Crystal and Matt I believe. Matt has gone to do a run-through for any late or missing campers, but he'll be back shortly.
But now, to the main point of the camp; most of you have had one problem or another that has been affecting your lives both physically and socially. Whether it's something as common as low self-esteem or something more serious, our goal here is to help you overcome these problems and fears, but at the same time let you have fun and not worry about them.
You'll be participating in many activities; from water games, to observing wildlife, to helping prepare the meals, to other fun stuff in general. If you guys behave and follow all normal rules and such, we'll have time to fill in more fun stuff. Again, it's up to you all; if you take too long with chatting during instructions and misbehaving, we might not get to do extra stuff planned.
Now, for normal rules: right now it's 8:00pm. You need to be in your dorms by ten, and lights out is at eleven. That gives you all 1 hour to get ready for bed and everything, and you'll have more time then that if you decicde to do so earlier. Lights out at 11, which your cabin leader will help you with. We usually try to aim to get up at 7 am, and breakfast is provided starting at 7:30 til 9. If you want to get up EARLIER (for some odd reason), you can get ready early, but try to be quiet and you can't leave the cabin unless getting permission by a cabin leader.
What else......ah, there is to be no picking or teasing other people for their faults. They get enough of that from the real world, and we don't want it here. If you're having any problems with another camper, come to either me or Crystal; fist fights won't be tolerated, gentlemen, nor cat fights from you, ladies. There are better ways to solve differences, without killing each other. If you're just having problems in general, just see any of us staff members and we'll try to help you best we can.
For any nature walks; PLEASE don't wander off. It's one thing to accidentaly take a wrong turn due to zoning out, but another to just run off from the group. I'd advise to try and avoid both, if possible.
Now, we are at our Campfire area. Over to your left, is the path that goes down to teh dorms. This green building over here is the cafeteria; usually a group will be helping to set up meals once we get things in order. Down that path over there is the lake we'll be using to swim at; cozy place, with a nice view. Over near the entrance and to the left is going to be our Activity center. By those two tress over on that long path over there, it leads to a nice cozy garden; a good place if you're looking for peace and quiet. If this sounds confusing, chances are you'll be following your cabin leader anyways, so chances of getting lost are slim.
Now, that the rules are out of the way (unless I forgot something, then I'll add it later): on to what kinds of thigns we'll be doing. This will include arts and crafts, water sports, swimming, some movie nights (where we'll bend the sleeping rules, obviously.), singing, a talent show somewhere in there, and some other things. There will be times when more than one activity is going on; in that case, you can pick where you want to go first, then you'll eventually rotate about, diving you into groups.
NOW! Any questions from you all; there's gotta be some out there!" he said with a grin, looking at them all.

When Benny was done talking Matt raised his hand..."Oi mate, one you never introuduced yourself or your Staff and Two, what if we can not take part in certain activities.."

Heh, 'guess my case is a little more than low self esteem...
Asakura mused, her lips curling up slightly. She dismissed her paranoia toward's Andy's comment about holding hands, suppressing the warm glow within that warned of anger. He probably didn't know anything and besides, even if fist-fights were allowed the mecha-girl would avoid that kind of contact. Knowing her, she would probably end up dismembering 'em.
Quietly processing the rules, Asakura made note of them within her systems for future references. Timing was a big one for her; internal alarm clocks got her up with the sun to do her daily training, so maybe she could get cleared for that one. She was pretty sure no one, especially Crystal-sensei, would want to be woken up at 5. However, the whole 'water-based activities' kinda freaked her out, and she voiced these fears, hand raised slightly.
"Uh, yeah, do we have to take part with the whole swimming and stuff? I'm, uh, kinda... don't like water..."
She bit her lip, and glanced to Crystal for support. Yes, most likely now she sounded a bit like a hydrophobic freak, but, still.
Oh, right, and the biplane.
"And do we get free time anytime?"

"You're different..." Kalli smiled, looking down.

After the talk Kalli listened quietly, not having any questions.

She looked back at him, "So, you're hyper!" she laughed, "I'm silent... wow, nearly completely mismatch."

She nodded, flushing. She looked back at the guy, not saying a word. It was incredibly easy to slip back into if silence.

Ken noticed the boy ruffling his hair and acting quite arrogant, but said nothing as the rules were started.
Rin also watched in silence, but was about to raise her hand til she noticed the other people, then silenced herself. There's were probably more important anyways, and she could always just ask Crystal later. That, and it was a stupid question....
"Ah, so many questions at once! I guess I needed to look over those notecards more....." Benny mumbled, before going through the questions one by one.
"Alright, to start with teh first voice: I'm Benny. The girl over here is Crystal. The others lined up behind me are Claire, John, Maria, Matt (though he's looking for people and will be back soon), Scott, and William.
As for the swimming........hm, we usually provide alternate activities, or if something for water protection, if that's waht your looking for. Either way, we usually try to not leave people out as best we can.
And taht goes for teh first voice as well; we usually provide alternate activities if someone is not physically or mentally able to accomplish something.
And yes, there is some free time. We're not gonna work you all to death, you know!
Alrighty, any other questions?"
((NOTE: if you want to sign up for staff peoples, that would be good! biggrin ))

Matt nodded as Benny answerd there qustions, then looked around to see the Rin once had her hand up. He put his hand on her shoulder and whisperd in her ear. "You had somehtign to ask did you not?"
