Azzo shook his head walking beside of Zia pausing to look at Seth "She's not a kid, she's a forest ranger and probably older than you, she'll be fine on her own. She's just mad at me." The twenty year old shook his head at Seth, "Don't go teasing with her that, It's bad enough I'm stuck in the ranger cabin with her for two weeks."
He shook his head and moved off the stage he crossed his arms. "Ain't nice to tease to people." He muttered walking off they both were wearing the khaki uniform and red scarves. He sighed softly, "Don't pay him attention Zia." He added making sure the older girl didnt' try to run back at Seth and maul him for that USB thing.

Everyone seemed to hopt on the internet, not like Ridley couldn't be counted as one of them but there were always ways round these things. And being the least bit obvious about it seemed like a good idea. Somewhere, a thin layer of ice wrapped itself around Hell, Ridley be quiet about something? Amazing sometimes.
But she turned towards Istas and beamed when she had the girl's attention. "HI!" She chirped. It would have been a d**k move for her to high tail it and run then, though it would have been funny but she actually had some words to speak with Istas. And they soon became rattled off at rapid speed.
"I'm so glad I found you, I was worried I wouldn't have found anyone I knew at here. Not like that would have been a bad thing and all, this is all about meeting new people and making friends, right? But finding someone you already know is always awesome! So, finding you was awesome. Totally." She took a breath and continued. "I didn't see you on the bus, I guess you on a different one, huh? It was so boring and the song my bus sang, oh man. Do you think we're in the same cabin at least? That would be cool. Do you know if Ainsley is here and maybe Sam?" Those were the only two names she did know off the top of her head. Did she know the girl with teal hair next to 3G-boy? Well, she didn't know. Anyways.
"Oh, and do you have any food? ********* is hungry." Ridley grinned, hefting her backbag a little for emphasis. Istas had to know *********, right? The cat was at her birthday party.

Istas smiled at Ridley and then Ridley suddenly started talking a million miles a minute. The last part was the only part she caught which was '********* was here'. "*********!" She cooed out as she as pulled around her penguin pack and dug out out some teddy grams opening it she slipped it into the bag with ********* I bet you're hungry." She said with a whisper, "How'd you bring her?" She frowned softly and hummed softly. "Why are they all fighting about needing the internet when we have so much stuff to do here?"

Peter frowned at the reception he got, having hoped for something a bit better than just that. What the heck?? Why were there no adults in this camp?! Everyone was still younger than twenty-five, it seemed! They certainly looked as though they were all still college students. Except for the lady with the megaphone. She seemed a bit older, but jeez, people!
They really expected going two weeks without the internet?! How?? Why?? He liked being outside as much as the next Cub Scout, but at least in his adventures with them he'd been allowed to bring his phone with him. He just wanted to further his education! Jeez..
"What's wrong with you people?!" he called out in exasperation, before Zia called out to him. Finally! Someone who understood! After knowing her since he was... two... he was expecting her to yell at him or something, but he was pleasantly surprised to find out that she was apparently on his side. Well, that was certainly a first. Usually they were too busy bickering with each other to listen. Zee was just like Chris most of the time — a jerk. But today... might be a turning point in his relationship with her.
"My name's Peter," he called back to the blonde chick standing with his br-- oh s**t. He'd been wondering where Chris was. Oops.
He made his way to jump down from the stage, but came face to face with yet another jerk. Jeez, what was with all of these barely not-teenagers telling him what he could and couldn't do?? He liked it even less than when adults did that. Peter stared at Seth as he spoke as though he was so high and mighty.
"Dude... you totally need to work on your people skills," Peter said with a frown, deciding it wasn't worth trying to deal with a jerk like this Seth guy. He hopped down from the stage to follow Zia, knowing that if anyone would help him besides Lissy to find internet, it would be her... hopefully.
As for Istas introducing herself and Lissy... "Dude... She's in my class, and you go to our school. I already know." He made it his business to know. Sort of... not really.
——————————————————————
"Oh what the hell..." Chris let out in a breath, staring in disbelief at his brother on the stage. No, actually it wasn't disbelief. He should have expected something like that from Peter. He should have expected something like that from the brat child.
"Get down from there!" he hissed, when their matching eyes met, making a quick motion of his hand as though he was swatting something away. It was bad enough that their parents dropped the kid off without telling him ahead of time!! And now for him to be a little brat (even more so) on top of it??

Adira raised an eyebrow at Seth being there. What on EARTH had shanghaied the older male into spending his time at a summer camp full of kids was absolutely beyond her. Crazy! Brushing off the odd appearance of someone she knew, Adira stepped up to the podium and took the bullhorn. Somehow she managed to make the weird camp polo's look a little less ridiculous than a few of the other counselors had managed. She took pride in being able to wear the
"I'm Adira Perses, and I'll be working mostly in the office, but I have a few fun events in mind for you campers! Any of you can come to me with problems if you have them, and I'll see what I can do to help." With a smile, she handed the bullhorn back to Gently and stepped back down off of the stage. She moved herself next to Eve, ready to receive clipboards from all of the junior counselors milling about the hordes of sticky loud children. At least the bullhorn had quieted them!
It was going to be a long two weeks.

After watching the other counselors take their go at the stage, 'Emily' turned to find that Griffin girl. She recognized the girl from the prom, and she had nearly asked her if she had gotten home alright, but had bitten her tongue at the last minute. Glancing around, she made her way over to the girl and raised her clipboard in the air again. Taking a deep breath, she projected.
"GIRLS IN THE AZALEA CABIN! YOU INCLUDE AINSLEY MCMAHON, RIDLEY PENDERGAST, LISSY HARROW, ISTAS HOLYWELL, AND JENNA ADAMS!! PLEASE COME OVER HERE!!"
Then panting slightly, she turned to Griffin and gave her a wan smile.
"Do you think that will work, 'Hawkeye'? Or should we disperse and attempt to round them all up. I'm afraid I can't exactly place all these names to faces, but I trust that they can recognize their own names."

"As far as I'm concerned, she is." Seth didn't exactly see how Azzo and Zia's current situation, or feelings, were relevant to him. But he reminded himself that he would be here for two weeks. "All right, all right." He agreed, indicating that he would try to get along with them.
He left the child, Peter, alone.
.. Right. Seth needed advice from a child. A self-entitled child who was concerned with nothing but his internetless circumstances. It was at this point that Seth permanently swore off children and summer camp. He had never been interested as a child and he was still uninterested as an adult. And he was reminded with good reason, hsi fingers coming to his temples in indication of a oncoming headache.
Leaving the stage to the other councils, he took a relaxed seat. Seth took note of the introductions and occupations. He had seen both titles earlier when helping with the paperwork for camp but now it was time to the titles to their faces. But needless to say, he hadn't expected Adira or Eve's names to be on the lists. The Adira he knew was either hostessing a elaborate party or arriving at a villa.
He stood up to stand casually next to Eve and Adira. "Glad to see you guys." Was it her imagination or did the male seemed a bit more grateful to see them? Judging from his haphazard appearance and the fact that by the end of the two weeks -- he might be tempted to commut murder, it might be so. "Looks like I'll be working under you." Especially if Adira and Seth were to be working in the same place.

How did she bring her? "I .. brought her in my backpack." Ridley answered simply, she had held up the bag right? Istas had just placed food into that bag right? Duh?
"Well, the internet and phone service is a wonderful thing," she wasn't going to lie. After all, yeah, she wanted it to. Ridley made a motion to go on but a loud booming voice drew her attention instead. "I.. think they're calling for us." So they were all in the same cabin. AWESOME.

Paris blinked at Peter's correction, looked down at his clip board, then looked back at Peter. Okay... so he went by a different name. No big deal. Nothing to get all moody about. "Right..." he said, digging a pencil out of his purse and scratching out "Benjamin" and writing in "Peter" above it.
Well, there went his plan to get on the kid's good side. Though it wasn't like he'd done anything horrible to him. Paris figured he was just in a bad mood. Kids these days. Couldn't go two weeks without the internet.
"Your brother's very... precocious," Paris said to Chris, backing off instead of trying to placate Peter again. He doubted anything he had to say would work considering Peter already seemed to be in a bad enough mood. "Don't look so annoyed," he added with a smile. "He's just a kid. Don't tell me you're incapable of handling your own brother. You're in a camp full of kids, Chris."

Ainsley was in a hurry to get her luggage when Sam finally woke up, but before she could even suggest they get it he had whisked her almost literally off her feet. He was pulling her, making sure she came out of the bus and got some fresh air. He was pulling her further and further away from her dear cat who was inside her bag inside the bus. She hoped Cora was okay in there as Sam pulled her through the crowd and towards Adira, just as the counselor seemed to introduce herself. Instead, she looked back to Sam and nodded.
"I remember her."
That's when 'Emily' projected her name very loudly into the muddle of children. The words flickered through the child's ears and soon her attention looked around for the source of her name, as well as trying to find Istas and Ridley in the crowd as their names were called as well. She was being called and she looked to Sam with disappointment on her face. His name wasn't called with hers. Would she have to leave so soon? They had just got off the bus!
"My name was called..." she whispered to Sam.

Arian waited near the stage for a while, listening as camp counsellors introduced themselves. Some of them mentioned cabins and Arian guessed that they were what his cousin had called cabin counsellors – although he’d kind of been expecting them to be older – some of them didn’t seem to be much older than him. Actually come to think of it he didn’t know what cabin he was in – or who he’d be sharing it with, although he guessed he’d find out when he found out who his cabin counsellor was.
As time went on and his name wasn’t called out, Arian found himself drifting slightly away from the stage, quite a few of the people around seemed as if they knew each other from outside of camp and it served to make him feel a bit lost and out of place.
Another boy who seemed around his age was nearby and looked to be on his own too. Arian let himself move over towards the boy and gave him a friendly smile. “Hello is this your first time here too?” His question was directed to Cass.

Zia continued her dramatic exit all the way to a decently cleared place to sit down and pout. If she couldn't at least get to facebook in the next two weeks, all hell would break loose. She was sure of it.
For the first time in... ever, she was willing to grab Peter like a teddy bear so they could lament their sudden disconnect from the outside world. There had to be SOME way to get that USB, right? Maybe if she... no. Checking on forest fires... bears, something to do with bears?! There had to be some scenario to get ahold of it, she just hadn't thought of it yet. Seth was douche, she decided, but she didn't want to react and close any doors, just in case.
----------------------------------------------------------
Cass was so lost. So lost he didn't even really bother moving from his spot after retrieving his bag. The tree defense seemed to be his go-to today. Part of him had been wondering if his group was called during those announcements he glossed over while talking to Leah and if so, he was terrified he'd be left behind.
He found relief when another boy roughly his age, Arien, spoke to him. "O-oh! Uh, yeah," He admitted, fumbling with the strap on his duffel. "I-I Don't really know what I'm doing," He said sheepishly. THIS one he wouldn't let get away before introductions. "Mmy name's Cass!" He blurted out, holding out a stiff, awkward hand for shaking. This is how you did it, right?

In her confined space inside of the bag, it suddenly started to rain food. It was a bit too dark for her to see the exact shape (despite having excellent noctournal vision), but her nose was able to make out the scent of cookie treats.
It wasn't long before the two girls heard a quiet, muffled "Thank you," from inside the bag. And lots of munching and crunching. If only the world was so kind and had food raining down everyday, that would make ********* a very happy manx.
Nevermind the fact it could have been a disaster like in Cloud with a Chance of Meatballs. A giant delicious disaster.

Watching Talia try to introduce herself as "Moose", Griffin tried not to laugh at her friend. She'd suggested 'Cougar' as a name for Griffin, but that had a connotation attached that the 18 year-old didn't want at a children's camp. She'd thought about Fawn or Caribou to 'Moose', but the pun was just too good to pass up. Hopefully the two of them could team up and lead events together.
Griffin was quite pleased that Emily belted out their campers' names. She'd been too meek to do so, but she saw a few heads turn and some girls make their way over to them. She nodded and smiled, "I hope it will! But we should maybe split up. I think I saw some girls turn their heads." She turned to hunt down her campers but turned, "Oh yeah! It's nice to meet you! I look forward to supervising with you!"
Griffin chose to pursue Ainsley, who she had noticed a reaction from when Emily hollered. With a smile on her face, she also recognized her as the little girl who held hands with the boy who'd been asleep on the bus. "Excuse me," she said. "Are you one of the Azalea campers? The faster we get you all gathered and settled in, the sooner you can see your friend again!" She looked at her clipboard quickly, wishing they had names and faces.

Lily was about to explain about the her injury when Skye approached them and pretty much freaked Chris out. It was a weird reaction, that quite frankly she had never seen from her friend. Even more so he steps away from the girl and nearly knocked into Lily making her have to move away.
Lily was none to pleased with the Skye girls manner and she glared at the girl for her rude and obviously unwanted interruption. Despite the fact the Chris said she hadn't. "There are less irritating ways to inform someone they forgot a duty," she mumbled lightly.
When Paris asked who Skye was Lily nodded, but she wouldn't push the fact as it wasn't really her business and Chris answer made her nod again, looking to Paris for a moment. She had to laugh when Chris tried to reroute she and Paris, but was unsuccessful as he brother took the stage.
She grinned at his adorable brother, "he seems like a handful, but Chris calm down really. That Skye girl really got to you huh? Don't worry, if your scared we'll protect you," she said motioning to Paris and herself.
She stood up straight with a smile, "but I digress, I checked in all the campers from my bus, just barely," she turned showing out the sticky chocolate finger prints sticking out of her back pocket, "even got an unfortunate souvenir. And as for my collar bone, I had an unfortunate run in with a tree," she said actually telling the truth, about how she had gotten the injury. Not the whole truth, but at least it was the truth.
