O-oh, uh, yeah! I'm alright I j-just... I've never done a-anything even somewhat close to wh-what camp is like, so... I g-guess I'm just a bit scared, is all. I'm fine s-so, um, don't worry, aha. S-so anyways, how has your day been so f-far?

Hey, that’s okay! There is a first time for everything afterall; as some people may say...but if you say so! No worrying on my part. None. Well, my day? Its been...hrm...good! Goooood...for a first time counsellor I’d say. I got a new list for people in the cabin since a few were a no show. Just carrying out my counsellor duties like I should. 

[journey-to-camp-blog]

Nice to meet you too, Mr. J-Journey. Y-you, uh, seem nice. I-I'm glad to, er, h-have you as my counselor. S-since, uh... you're n-nice, a-and.. yeah. [cue awkward laughter]

Ah, thank you! I’ve…really trying my best. It’s pretty good to have someone tell you that you’re doing well.

…

I…I’m not sure if this is any-AHEM…I’m sorry, but you actually seem a bit tense. Is everything alright?

[journey-to-camp-blog]

Thanks Mr. Journey but I think I'm ok~ it's just nice to know there are more couselors! I'm Devin by they way! But some people call me Nerd 8)

Oh, groovy! Urm…Devin. It’s great to meet ya! Maybe I’ll go around and meet and greet some other counselors, myself! 

Who have you met?

[journey-to-camp-blog]

Thank you, a-and, um... My name's Cool-ler, or... Ry-Ryan.. Uh, you get the drift. And wh-what's your name, if uh, you don't mind me asking?

Well, everyone just calls me Journey! It’s more of a nickname, since my actual name is apparently pretty common…Once-ler and all. It is my pleasure to meet you, Cooler! And be your camp counsellor, at that.

S-sorry if this is a silly question or something, but, uh, I just need to make sure i-in case I heard wrong, or, um, something... Y-you are the counselor of cabin 4, right? Because, um, this is my first year and I.. don't really know where anything is, aha;;

Hm?

–Yes! Yes I am! Thank gosh!

Not to alarm you, but I haven’t seen a lot of the other campers around. But it’s okay!! I’m managing it. It is my job after all.

Oh, but first of all, welcome to Camp Weehawken! If it makes you feel any better…er…I’ll let you in on something: It’s actually my first time being a counselor here. But trust me; this place is pretty straight-forward. And...if you haven’t found it yet, I can show you where our cabin is.

–OH! And I almost forgot to ask! What’s your name?

[journey-to-camp-blog]

-waves- Hiya~! Are you another counselor here? I haven't seen any other then our in cabin 6

Hello! Why yes, I am in fact a counsellor. Say’s right here on my nametag!

Now are you–? Hrm…

No, you’re not on my camper list. Wait–you said Cabin 6, right? Oh! Yeah, that makes sense! Sorry! Honestly, I’m a bit nervous because half of my campers haven’t turned up. (And I really hope that kid in the cabin didn’t have anything to do with it…probably not.) Is there anything that I can help you with? I can keep an eye out for other counselors if that’s what you need.

[journey-to-camp-blog]

Hello! You must be the Counselor for cabin 4! I'm the nurse, Zel. I was wondering if you could give me a list of your cabin kids' allergies and any medications they take?

Yes! Hello! I wish I could be er…I haven’t found all of my cabin kids yet. Unfortunately…But it’s alright! I’ve been looking high and low, and and I’m sure they’ll turn up! This is probably a normal thing anyways. Ahaha…

But when I know, I’ll get that information right to ya.

[journey-to-camp-blog]

WOAH!!! Wh-what on--

H-hey...excuse me--can I have your....

AHEM! Sorry to interrupt...this...whateverthisis....

I just wanted to ask a few questions! I-if you’ve got time for it...!

Servant of Darkness… Lowly Beast of the Void…. I summon thee….

Come to your Master!

[journey-to-camp-blog]

Heeello?

Is there anyone in here? I’m sorry I was late! I got held up down the hill with a busted wagon wheel, but here I am!

[journey-to-camp-blog]

We finally made it!

Alright alright...

Found my flashlight...

Let’s see...the cabin list. Thank you, Melvin, hold it right there...

Okay...we’ve got...

King...that’s a last name, if I’m not mistaken? Probably a pretty reserved kid...

Now if this is right...two more kids...Once-ler and Greed-ler...huh.

Artsy...well that’s good! Good for a kid to have some hobbies...and use it as their name at that.

Melvin: *snort*

Yes, I know we’ve all got to use nicknames. It’s a downright phenomena, I tell ya. A very popular name when I was little, Once-ler was....anyways...

Mr.Green-eyes...heh, can you imagine him NOT having eyes that colour? Wouldn’t that be misleading!

Okay and...oh--

Ohhhh...

So.

Flucker...

Mmm...Apple-tart...annnd

...Full-cup.

Yup. I’m pretty sure that was a mis-write.

Now, let’s find that cabin, shall we? We’ve got to be quick, we’re late as is!

[journey-to-camp-blog]

All that bad weather on the way up and now this? Tonight isn't being too kind to is, it Melvin? ... Hey now! It was your idea to take the backroads! ... Okay, okay. I'LL take responsibility for this. That's fair...

[journey-to-camp-blog]

Just think about it, Melvin! You know what we’ve got ahead of us? Campfires, sing-a-longs, some sweet little kids, and best of all we’re leaving early for all of this!

Well, yeah, because you can only come on the grounds that you help haul some camp materials around. No big deal!

What? You thought this was a vacation? On no, Melvin our work has only begun. Buuuut....that doesn't mean we can’t enjoy ourselves along the way!

Get ready for this, my friend! We are camp-ward bound!!

[journey-to-camp-blog]

Goooooood morning, Melvin! How are you? Great! As for myself, well...

It’s a fine day. Lovely weather at that, wouldn't you say?...yeah!

...What’s that?  You think I've got something to announce? 

I've got to say your intuition is spot on as always, my friend!

I really have got some exciting news for you.

You ready for this? Oh boy oh boy...

We’re going a certain somewhere very very soon. Can you guess? Yes Melvin, to camp!

I was given the go-ahead! It’s all set in stone! You and me and great starry skies my friend, just like we've always dreamed!

At least...this will be the start of our  REAL adventure.
