WEEK ZERO, MONDAY

[gatonina]

[after feeding the blue bunny, it will zoom out the door and into camp grounds. stephanie will have to follow it all the way across camp, but eventually, they will reach the isolation cabin. the door will swing open automatically for the bunny, and inside, stephanie will find winter wizard sitting on one of the bean bag chairs while sipping a soda. they quickly put the can down when the bunny hops on their lap.]

Ah-- Hi, baby! [cooing at the rabbit first, and then finally acknowledging stephanie's presence.] Stephanie, right? Sit wherever you like.

[vigilantics]

Yo.

[ i guess she is going to go claim a bean bag chair now ]

That's me.

[gatonina]

[they watch her, gently petting their bunny while she claims a beanbag chair.]

So, what brings you here?

[vigilantics]

I'm apparently one of your campers, right? I figured I should find out more about what that actually means.

[ a meet and greet ]

[gatonina]

Right. What do you want to know, specifically? I can hazard a guess, but-- Mind reading isn't really my thing.

[vigilantics]

Can you tell me more about what you do here?

[ she has. many questions. but she'll start here. ]

[gatonina]

I live here? That's like asking someone, what do you do at home?

[vigilantics]

I mean, now that we're here, what do you do?

[gatonina]

Ooooh, you mean that. We're babysitters now.

[vigilantics]

Why does the oh so popular job of babysitter entail?

WEEK 0, TUESDAY

[gatonina]

[after feeding the gray bunny, it will run off into the hallway, allowing stephanie temporary access to follow it. the door marked with a new moon opens for the bunny, letting her into what looks like a normal camp office. there is a single chair across from the desk; black shadows is seated behind the desk, and they nod to stephanie when she enters.]

Stephanie. Hello. Please sit.

[they point to the chair across from them.]

[vigilantics]

[ and she will politely sit down. hello. ]

What's up?

[ that is a good conversation starter. ]

[gatonina]

Mostly? Hearing everyone have the same complaints and knowing they're not listening to a single word you say. [a melodramatic sigh.] Super glamorous, right?

[vigilantics]

I feel like I'm being called out here.

[gatonina]

Well... If the shoe fits...

[vigilantics]

I still don't know what you all expected.

[gatonina]

No offense, because I'm sure you're a lovely young lady-- But you we really didn't invite you here? Don't make it sound like we asked for this.

[vigilantics]

No, I get that, but I don't see how you're surprised that everyone is complaining about what is still, essentially, a second kidnapping.

[gatonina]

It's less surprise, and more than I'm already tired? [a sigh.] I get the feeling we're going to go in circles if we keep talking about this, though.

[vigilantics]

... probably. Let's move on.

Why are we split up into groups, anyway?

[gatonina]

Didn't you read the rules? We're hosting a competition between friends to get your minds off, um-- everything? You guys need a distraction while we work.

[vigilantics]

[ that isn't exactly why she was asking that, but she is not sure how to say "three groups gives me murdergame trauma" without getting stuck on the previous conversation

so ]

Work on what? Babysitting?

[gatonina]

That, and fixing whatever brought you all to our home. That part's super important, remember?

[vigilantics]

Do you guys know what it was, or is it just a vague, trying to figure that part out?

[gatonina]

Um... The second one. We know your destinations got flipped, but we're not sure how or why. Once we figure that part out, we can send you on your ways.
