"You're welcome" Istas said to the manx before she heard their names called, her curls bouncing as she looked around. She saw the one called Hawkeye and another counselor... Istas forgot the other's name, someone over there had called the two kid's names. She grabbed one of Ridley's hands and dragged the other girl along.
"We're being called." She told Ridley as she dragged the other girl towards the two counslers. "Istas and Ridley here!" She called waving at the two counselors, making a bee line for them careful not to run into anyone or send Ridley into anyone.
"Do we need to go ahead and get our bags?"

Castille ran off to find her own campers, so Aitana had nothing better to do then actually respond to her own cabin queens. Her eyes searched the crowd for the pink and brown haired Jennifer or the dark haired Moose Castille had informed her of. It was a difficult job with so many people running back and forth.
She paid no heed to the internet conversation, really she could care less. Camp sounded almost like being back home. Trees.. lakes.. and a whole lot of nature. She spotted her bag in the search for Jennifer and Moose and picked it up, slinging it over her shoulder. If Coralie asked she'd happily carry her for her too.

Paris almost laughed at Lily's explanation concerning her aforementioned injury. It wasn't that it was funny that she'd been hurt, it was just... she'd gotten hurt running into a tree. Who did that??
"Grace," he mumbled sarcastically. It was an amusing mental image, even though he was sure the injury itself had been painful. Well, she seemed fine now, and that was all that mattered.
"All of my kids are here and accounted for... I think..." he continued, glancing down at his clipboard again. "I'm putting an asterisk by Peter's name. Something tells me he's going to be one of the trouble makers," he added, marking on the attached slip of paper. He glanced up at Chris with a smirk. "No offense. I'm sure he's a great kid."
While his assignment may end up causing him quite a bit of stress, he thought it was a little funny that Peter had been placed in his group. Talk about a coincidence. He thought he'd still like to keep an eye on him even if he and Lily did manage to get things switched around. Peter might be a trouble maker, but he could also end up being pretty amusing, and amusing kids were good kids in Paris's book.

"Great kid, right," Chris grumbled to himself, shaking his head as he watched Peter run off... Great. Now he was going to be up all night thinking that Peter was doing something like... jumping into the lake or... getting lost in the words, trying to find a signal for his phone. Why his parents let him bring that, he had no idea.
He blinked, frowning at Lily's explanation for her injury, not liking how that sounded at all. "I'm glad you're okay now..." he said softly, before glancing around to make sure children were starting to be taken by their counselors to get to their cabins. That would have been horrible it it had been anything worse... He was also glad it wasn't a monster that was attacking them... Or anyone else, for that matter...
And Skye... he wasn't sure if he should comment on her or not. He didn't think he reacted too horribly. Just... surprised... and... probably a little upset. But that was a story for another time, and he didn't want to get into it with Paris and Lily around.
"Hey, uh... I'm going to go find Peter, okay...? And get everything cleaned up out here..." he added, since... kids had dropped candy wrappers and left their things out... and he definitely didn't want litter on the ground or for the campers to be missing anything that belonged to them. "I'll see you both at lunch. Save me a spot, okay?" he asked with a smile, taking a few steps back and away from the two young women, turning and making his way towards where he saw his brother's mahogany hair disappearing into the crowd.
And maybe find Zee to make sure she was okay...

Lily smiled rolling her shoulders to show she truly was okay and neither Chris nor Paris need to really give the injury any though. As long as she did go getting slammed into another tree and time soon or putting to much stress on the bone she would be just fine.
She nodded when Chris decided to head off and clean up after the campers who had litter and really she knew she should help, but she wanted to grab Paris and try to get in a word with the head counselor before the woman disappeared off to some activity.
"Come on Briar Rose," she said with a giggle grabbing a light hold of Paris wrist, "we have to go see Kookaburra about that thing. We should get it sorted out before lunch."
She looked to Chris as he walked away and waved, "We promise to save you a seat. See you at lunch," she called.

"Midsummer's Eve?" She took Finn's nickname with a laugh and a shake of her head. It was indeed a clever pun. At the mention of a Knight, Eve glanced sideways to Lucy as discreetly as she could, then shrugged. There was no time to talk about that when they were here, and after all, she was supposed to make her introductory announcement! Mind off alternate identities! They needed this break. She needed this break.
"Hey guys!" Eve chirped into the microphone brightly. "I'm Eve Summers! I'm working with Adira, and lifeguarding, so don't get into any trouble in the lake, okay? If you do, just shout and I'll be there! Let's all make this as fun as possible, kay?" With that done, she slid next to where Adira was, eyes lighting up as she saw a familiar face. "Seth!" She greeted him with a grin. "I'm actually surprised to see you out here. With you know, all these people." She gestured to the horde around them. While the blonde was utterly comfortable with dealing with people, she didn't think Seth was. At all. He didn't look too well either, she noted with a frown. "Are you okay?"

Paris frowned a little bit as Chris turned to head off. "Yeah, sure," he said, keeping an eye on him until he disappeared. Was he really going to find his brother or was he going to the main cabin to finish the "paper work" Skye had told him about a little bit ago? Paris was highly suspicious, and he wasn't sure he liked it.
Sticking his lollipop back into his mouth, Paris allowed Lily to lead him off, grumbling under his breath. "Doesn't seem all that interested in spending time with me now that we're here. Probably going off to see some other girl..."
He didn't know why he was even concerning himself with thoughts like that. It wasn't like he wanted Chris for more than a good time. There weren't any feelings. He didn't do feelings.
Letting out a sigh, Paris shook his head to remove such things from his mind. There were more important things to worry about at the moment, such as sorting things out with the head counselor. "You think it'll really work?" he asked Lily as they approached Kookaburra -- every time he thought of that name, he wanted to start singing, which he didn't think would be all that conducive to getting what he wanted. He hoped she wouldn't see right through him. He thought he was pretty convincing, but he didn't fool everyone.

With all the chaos that was going on around them; a lot of names where being called. All the names and chatter jumbled together in Sam’s ear, he couldn’t really make heads or tails of what was being said. He was also perfectly oblivious to the fact little bits of his hair was braided. All he really wanted to do was find a nice open space and stretch his legs. He also, didn’t want to lose sight of Ainsley. As far as he currently knew, she was the only one around that he knew. “Did they? I didn’t hear…”
But what Sam denied, the counselor Hawkeye confirmed. Sam gave the counselor a defiant look. “No, no. I think I’ll stay with her.” Sam was unwilling to be separated until he was absolutely told to. Or saw some food. He might have been okay with trading Ainsley for chocolate, but only temporarily. Even then, a total stranger was not going to be able to convince the boy from abandoning his friend. But perhaps Ainsley could, or a counselor he liked.

Griffin put her head on her chest when the little girls, Istas and Ridley (whom she dragged) came over to her. Finally! They were listening! "Hi Istas, Ridley!" She assumed Istas was the one doing the introduction because she said her name first. "That's right! If you could just get your bags from the bus to put them in the Azalea cabin, then we'll be ready for food and activities today! You'll unpack later tonight, I think." She smiled warmly and gave the curly-haired girl a pat on the head. It seemed she'd lucked out with the cutest age group of children. She wondered how Talia faired.
She turned back to the little boy, Sam, and Ainsley. So the boy wouldn't part with his friend? That was awfully sweet, but... "Well you both need to put your stuff in your cabins. As soon as that's done you can get back together and we can get you snacks, and then on the road to adventure! Doesn't that sound good? I't'll be less than five minutes, I promise." For proof she held up her left hand and crossed her heart. It probably wasn't good to give into kids and bargain within the first few minutes, but hopefully it'd work.

Lord Boring. Lord Boring. He would have expected the nickname from, say, one of the kids, but the counselors? "Really, guys?" He grumbled, though there did seem the be the slightest smile on his lips...if you squinted. Noting the discreet look Eve shot him, he frowned, still a little bothered by the new duties that had suddenly been dumped on him.
Oh well. If he had to fight, at least he didn't have to do in a skirt like Eve.
Following the blond girl's introduction, Lucien went to make his own, looking more than a little uncomfortable to be standing in front of such a large crowd (granted that most of them were children. "...Er, hey." He cleared his throat, looking a little uneasy, "...I'm Lucien Everard, and I'm the other lifeguard. If you guys have any problems or questions, don't be afraid to ask me, okay?" He shot everyone a quick smile and then he was out of there, speed-walking back to Eve and the little group that had formed. At the sight of a familiar dark-haired boy, Lucien smiled.
"Oh good, I don't have to suffer alone," He greeted Seth, his smile growing into something that looked more like a smirk, "Really didn't expect to see you here. Did you sign yourself up willingly?" He glanced at Adira next before his gaze shifted back to Eve and Seth. "And this is...a friend?"

Jenna had heard the call, from someone, for those of her cabin. She didn't want to leave Jennifer's side but she had to. Looking up at the blond she smiled brightly. "I think I have to go. I'll see you at dinner, right?" She asked, hopefully. She knew, and liked, Jennifer. She'd be sticking to her as much as she could. But she'd heard Hawkeye, twice now.
Tightening her hold on her luggage handle he let go of Jennifer's hand. Hesitating for a moment, wondering what this new person would be like, she hurried over to them while waving her free hand. "I'm here! I'm Jenna Adams!" No speech, this time, about the Adams family. "We'll be having dinner all together, so I can see Jennifer then, right?" She asked not bothered at all that it might be rude to want to attach herself to someone, or the fact she really didn't know the person.
She'd hoped earlier to ignore the person, Moose, calling her name in order to spend more time with Jennifer but when this other person started to call she figured it was time to part ways. As nervous as she was over who this person was, and what they were about, she had gone. She needed to drop her things off, and she was hungry. And who knew, maybe in that short amount of time she'd make friends with her cabin mates? She could hope, right?

Ainsley practically attached herself to Sam's arm with a rather defiant look on her face when the counselor Griffin tried to get them to separate. He didn't want to go and they couldn't make him! She wouldn't let go, and then they'd have to keep them together. The child seen absolutely no reason why Sam couldn't stay and she objected with a rather large pout.
"He doesn't want to go!" She replied, squeezing his arm tighter.
Of course, when Griffin mentioned putting the bags in their cabins the child suddenly remembered her precious cargo that was probably rather lonely stuck in her luggage. How could she do this? She couldn't leave Sam and she couldn't not go get Cora and her luggage. She thought about it briefly and then the child began to pull on Sam's arm as she made her way over to where the luggage was being kept. It wasn't very far from where they were at this point, still in the counselor's sights as the child managed to find her bag from the pile and lift it up with one arm, still holding onto Sam's arm with her other.
"I have two bags," she told Griffin. "This one," she said as she held up the luggage bag, "and this one," she continued as she shifted towards Sam, suggesting he was now part of her belongings. "Now we have to stay together!"

"Its good to see you too Seth, though this is about the last place on earth I would have expected to see you to be honest." Adira let out a small laugh before turning again to survey the horde of campers. It was good to have people around that she knew from before, particularly to help her keep this mess of a camp organized. For a long standing campground, it certainly had some organization issues. "If you guys will excuse me for a second, I think I see some familiar faces!"
Moving away from her fellow senior counselors, the older girl picked her way through the crowd. It was a little difficult, considering some of the children were near her height! How on earth was she supposed to cut a figure of authority when she was barely any taller than her charges? It was a bit depressing.
On the brighter side, Adira had hoped to see her young friends at camp, and was overjoyed when she caught sight of familiar little faces that she'd met at the zoo and before. It wasn't long before the senior counselor found herself in front of a group of campers. "Its good to see you guys. I had hoped that you would be coming to camp this year!" In particular, she had been addressing Sam and Ainsley, two familiar faces in a sea of children.

If Lucy had said that thing about skirts out loud, Eve would have wrestled him into a verbal fight with her adamant on winning. After all, she had more experience than he did, and had been fighting the youma longer than he had ever imagined. Hmph!
"Suffer?" Eve repeated, clutching her heart dramatically as though she had been hurt and staggering backwards. "Lord Boring, my dear sir, you make it sound like a chore! How dare you! Have you not thought of the children? I thought, with a lord of your stature, you should have gallantly taken up the position with selflessness in your heart!" She finished off with a pout and a shake of her head, as if she was severely disappointed in Lucy's behavior.
"Which reminds me," She said, reverting back from Drama Eve to Normal Eve, slinging an arm around Lucy's shoulders. "We need to come up with a title for Sir Einetta. Lord something. Lord Frownyface." She was deep in thought, tapping her chin in an attempt to inspire her creative juices. "Oh, and that's Adira! You didn't hear the announcement? Pay more attention, Lord Boring of the Utter Boringness!"

Istas sighed at Ainsley she was being a bit silly. "Ainsley, Sam can't come in our cabin he's a boy." So the child made a sad face, "Our cabins are for princesses only." She had to at least get them apart long enough for their stuff to be put up.
She was looking at Ainsley batting her eyes, "You wouldn't want to break the princess code would you?" There was a small grin on her face, "Besides Sam needs to go keep Peter company, he's the only other boy that isn't a bully. And non-bully boys should stick together." This was clearly logical to the girl and she grinned as she dragged Ridley towards their things, "Come on last one to the princess cabin has to kiss a frog and hope he's a prince and not an icky normal frog."
Obviously Ainsley wasn't the only one that could read fairy tales and believe in them.
