Dungeon Residential Camps, Somewhere, Wednesday, Day One of Two

[not_a_whiner]

The first day had been eminently entertaining - but the Toymaker was already growing bored. He reached in and tweaked the strings of his tiny universe, adding subtle changes: speeding up time, moving hallways. One of the two might be more noticeable than the other, but he looked forward to seeing if Fandom's finest felt the time discrepancy.

He split this day in two. Bound the pathways of the first and second camps together. And sat back.

The maze changed. That was what it was built to do. Its denizens would just have to find ways to cope with it.

Camp Two - The Room

Camp Two - Main Space

[not_a_whiner]

The central chamber is dimly lit but light enough to keep out the grues. There is a torch grafted to the wall every few feet, its flames flickering but never going out. A single water fountain rests between two torches. When activated, it releases a thin stream of water. In one corner, there are bags on the floor, varying in size, some big enough to be worn by an adult-sized human.

After visiting a really messed up and probably radioactive world, Emily -and hopefully Atton- had found her(their) way back to camp, and she was now using the water fountain to keep herself relatively clean.

She looked like she was really needed a nap soon, too. After feeling cleaner, though.

Jono had taken up camp in the main area and was keeping an eye on the state of things at large, here. Yesterday had been a long day, and a few people had come back a little worse for the wear.

They still needed supplies. Food and weapons, mostly. Clothing, if possible. He was keeping an eye out for anyone who looked willing to go foraging. The waiting game clearly wasn't going to get anyone out in one piece. Especially since so many were prone to taking off alone to play hero.

Sigh.

Dinah had dropped into an exhausted sleep very late last night after the cliff-climbing, but she was awake now, and after talking with Karla, badly needed something to do. "Hey. Any news on anything?" She held out a banana. "Banana?"

Re: Camp Two - Main Space

[furnaceface]

"We're not the only camp here," Jono reported, sounding tired. "Raven's halfway to being a vampire, and I've got an armload of luggage in my alcove if anyone has need for maternity wear, more orange TicTacs than anyone should rightly own, or lighter fluid."

A beat, and then he was making an almost desperate grab for that banana. Almost. He hadn't eaten in days, and the way his hand was shaking as he tried to peel it probably attested to as much.

"Thanks, luv. Any news on your end?"

Bel had tried his best to turn a sack into a pair of pants, but it wasn't comfortable. But at least his demon business wasn't front and center anymore, OK?

He was still trying to shimmer every once in awhile, and cranky that it didn't work.

Re: Camp Two - Main Space

[likethegun]

"Oh good, you've got clothes on today."

Well, sort of. And hello to you too, Bel.

Re: Camp Two - Main Space

[demonbelthazor]

Bel eyed Sam. "Is that really you, or have you also been replaced by your more surly older double?" he said.

Re: Camp Two - Main Space

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah and Sam had come back with food. Not a *lot* of food. One big meal's worth for everyone, or two if they rationed it. But still. Food.

Also, napkins, anyone felt like trying new fashion options.

"Dinah?" Raven called, cautiously approaching her.

See, look, she was fine, she wasn't going to pounce and eat you. Well, at least not right now.

Re: Camp Two - Main Space

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Raven," Dinah said, equally cautious now that she'd talked to Jono. "Hey. You look... okay?" Mostly? Sort of?

Camp Two - Alcoves

[not_a_whiner]

Between some of the torches there are little alcoves, just wide enough to fit a single human being lying down.

Re: Camp Two - Alcoves

[suitably_heroic]

Atton - famous for going months between showers - didn't exactly care about cleaning up, so as soon as they'd gotten back he'd wandered into one of the alcoves, fashioned a pillow out of a bag, curled up and gone to sleep.

Sleep good.

April was a little different when she returned to camp than she had been when she'd left. Her gaze was a little sharper and less distracted; she had a bite on the side of her neck that she was only putting in the bare minimum of effort to obscure with her hair; she didn't much seem to mind her somewhat revealing wardrobe anymore.

She also very much wanted to drink people's blood and kill them dead. But there were a multitude of ways to approach this, according to April's new killer-instinct, and lunging out and scaring the whole group at once had never been April's style.

Karla was curled up in her alcove, grateful for how absurdly huge Jono's coat was on her. It meant she could tuck her feet up under it and hunker down under the collar, keeping her face and neck out of sight.

She wasn't a vampire, thank the Darkness. But she was starving and scared and more than a little shaken by the events of yesterday. Damn you, Ender. Damn you.

Re: Camp Two - Alcoves

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

Dinah and Sam had managed to come back with a couple tablecloths full of food, and then she'd grabbed an alcove and passed out. Spotting Karla, she headed over to her, holding out an apple and a sandwich. "Hey, hon. Eat it before it spoils."

Re: Camp Two - Alcoves

[furnaceface]

Jono was... perhaps a little shaky himself, considering the fact that he'd just volunteered to play blood donor for a mostly-vampiric ex-girlfriend, and all. But he was still managing to keep his chin up, even if his hands were tucked in his trouser pockets to conceal the fact that they were trembling for want of food.

"Hanging in there, luv?"

Re: Camp Two - Alcoves

[trigons_child]

Raven hesitantly approached Karla's alcove. She'd seen Jono go to her first, and he'd probably warned her what had happened to her. Part of her was ashamed to face her friend, but she wasn't going to let that hold her back.

"Karla?" she called softly.

Camp Two - Fireplace

[not_a_whiner]

At the back of the room stands a singular fireplace giving off some heat. On its mantle lies an array of little figurines, shifting day by day. Right now a miniature of Turtle and Canary and a Wendy the Werewolf Stalker action figure seem to lead the tiny army.

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[texted3times]

Well, at least one person from Camp Naked had found better clothes today, even if he was now brooding by the fireplace about getting kicked out of the Greatest Place Ever where vampires could eat whoever they wanted...

Eric was bleeding slightly at the ears--a penalty for being awake while the sun was up.

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[hatesmoststuff.livejournal.com]

Hey, look, it was an April who smelled a bit vampiric today.

She sat down next to Eric and gave him a nod.

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

If Annie had seen him as part of Camp Naked yesterday, well... she didn't recognize his face. Ahem.

"Oh my gosh. Are you bleeding?" she asked, really concerned about this.

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[abakingmetaphor.livejournal.com]

Buffy was still in her cow pajamas (though she had found better shoes) and was now hanging out by the fireplace, frowning at the little figurines. Creepy.

Re: Camp Two - Fireplace

[texted3times]

"So how was your day?" Eric asked dryly.
