USER: #A5211F - CAMPING ANNOUNCEMENT (PLAYER PLOT OPEN TO ALL)
(color)
Okay, kiddos, listen up.
I'm calling a mandatory trip for the entire defense force. It was brought to my attention that we could all use the break, and doing it while encouraging teamwork isn't a bad idea in my book. It's going to be roughly in a couple of weeks, and I'll send out messages to all of you the day before we head out. We're going to head into the forest just far enough that we can't see back into town, stay there for the day, camp over night, and return late in the afternoon the next day. That's right, we're camping. You can thank Zelda for the idea. Speaking of her, she's second in charge for the trip, so if you can't get in contact with me for any reason, she's your go-to.
You're all going to go and have fun together. That's an order.
Only bring the essentials. We'll have activities lined up for you all, and we'll be hunting for our own food. If you've got any questions, you can ask here.
For those of you not in the force, it's not too late to join. Fighting experience isn't necessary, so contact me if you're interested. If you don't want to join and still want to tag along, go ahead, but let me know so I can make sure everyone gets back in one piece.
But for those of you on the force: seriously, it's mandatory. Show up or else.

[OOC INFORMATION - OOC PLOTTING POST
Obviously, it's not OOCly mandatory. Guren highly encourages it, and Zelda will be too, all to encourage characters who otherwise might be shy or not want to go when you OOCly want them to! But there won't be any IC punishment for not going if you don't feel like playing with this. But anyway, this will take place on the 14th-15th of this month. I'll be posting a mingle log at that time with various prompts! Guren and Zelda have worked together to create a number of activities, and beyond that, I spoke to the mods and was able to get a number of fun shenanigans to mess with.
Look forward to the following:
- Activites like tug of war, an obstacle course, hide and seek type games, and sports involving balls
- Talking games like two truths and a lie, never have I ever, would you rather, and telling ghost stories around the fire
- Card and board games. They'll be old and crusty but they can attempt
- Campfire songs
- Cookout
- "Watch" shifts over the night. Guren would assign them, but I won't do that OOCly so everyone can have their character awake and "on watch" whenever they want.
And watch out for these:
- Pixies stealing weapons and belongings when your back is turned: they can be found in the woods, but will have to be tracked down to get those things back.
- Certain plants where they're staying, if touched, will induce effects such as: looser inhibitions, a drunken sort of feeling, and a general discarding of sensibility.
- Likewise, certain wood from the trees, if chopped down and lit on fire, may induce effects such as: suddenly feeling more affectionate OR more belligerent
- There are certain sections of the woods that they may pass through where their powers and abilities go a little wonky: they may suddenly be unable to use them, or lack control of them, or be suddenly significantly stronger than they're used to. These effects fade as soon as they step out of that portion of the woods.
- They may, when they are all gathered around the fire telling ghost stories, listen to a ghost story from classic folklore of some sort... and then realize that nobody around the circle was the one telling the story.
- And finally, there are will o the wisps out there in the woods! They'll notice glowing lights when they're camping late at night; they are relatively benevolent right now while everyone is that close to the Town, and won't actually exert any influence on the characters to try to drag them away. If anyone follows them, it'll be of their own volition and not because they were brainwashed into doing it. **If your character wants to do something like this, it would go completely against the tone of the camping trip and genuinely be a bad time. Mods warn that you should be very sure you want your character to do this before deciding to do it. If you do want to do this, PM the mods to see what will happen.
I'll give the mingle prompts sort of like an event log to help everyone out and then you can tag amongst yourselves! Last but not least, if you want to join the defense force and haven't, please feel free to hit me up OOCly or ICly here. Here is the current listing that I try to keep up to date, along with a link to current squads, but I can edit those at any time and they'll be shifted around next month, too. You don't have to wait to join. I think I covered everything, so let me know if you have any questions! As always, I can be reached by PM, discord @ zlos#3826, or![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)

Children then, if you find my previous term for them inappropriate. I'm not interested in babysitting, nor am I concerned with whatever trivial "growth" such a trip may have to offer.
As of yet, the only provided incentive has been a moral duty to follow orders, someone's terrible idea of "fun," and some paltry threats that I can't help but doubt the sincerity of. If I attend, I expect there to be something to make it worth my while. Haven't you got anything more convincing?
no subject
[ woman of eternal patience continues to deal with exasperated man of never-ending complaints. ]
I could convince you, but how about you tell me what you would want out of attending instead? Then I can get a better sense of what would make you choose to come along of your own volition.
[ "his own volition" being that she doesn't ask kaoru to kidnapped him. ]
no subject
[ Hey? Don't sic Kaoru on him. She already forced him to dance with her at prom. ]
The only things that make events like this truly worthwhile are much finer than anyone here can produce, I'm afraid. Beautiful women, delicious food... Even a simple game of poker would be all but wasted on this particular audience, given how many would be better suited to something so dull as Old Maid.
But I'm curious what your suggestion may be, all the same.
no subject
[ she's kidding, but also wow he's shallow. ]
If a card game is what you desire, or a game of wit and skill, we are going to bring them along. And the way I see it, you cannot judge an opponent before you have taken them up in play for yourself. To presume your intelligence over others so quickly is the talk of a fool. You are no fool though, are you Kyrie?
no subject
[ Very shallow, but at least he's honest...! Or something. He's having fun. ]
If you ask me, a fool would be the one jumping into the discomfort of "roughing it," as it were, for something so easily attainable as a game of cards. I've my own deck from home that I can make use of whenever I desire.
Although... perhaps you would be interested in a wager of our own? I wonder how confident you are in your own skills to decide this once and for all.

If you can beat me, I'll go. It's as simple as that. I can provide the deck, if only you've the time to set aside to visit. What do you say?
[ She knows how to play, so it's good enough! Come on, Zelda, take one for the team. It'll be fun!! ]
no subject
Best 2 out of 3?

no subject
[ but even if he's a pain, he's still part of the team! she's getting him to this outing one way or another. ]
I'll come by later in the week for the match.
no subject
[ He's looking forward to her best shot! ]
I'll be awaiting your visit, then.

[ I mean just look at that face! ]

I hope not.
[ (x) doubt ]
no subject
[ Valid. He sees you, Zelda. ]
Well, it doesn't matter. I'm not foolish enough to make a bet I intend to lose.
I look forward to seeing the despair on your face once you've finally admitted defeat.
[ Sorry... ]
