“if these fireworks don’t blow everyone’s wigs away into outer space and right into the fucking sun, then i’m not gonna be called keith jobs anymore.” keith said in determination as he made sure that everything was in place and ready, whilst some of his siblings were on the other side of the beach to make sure everything was good on that side.

“psst..” avi didn’t want to disturb anyone else who was enjoying hocus pocus as much as she was, but she just had to say something. personally, she was bundled in two blankets. a true burrito. not that it was necessarily that cold inside the big house. but it was just cozy. however, she had noticed the person next to her didn’t have a blanket. “do you want to share?”

          despite the warm atmosphere generated by all of camp coming together around the campfire, solange can’t help but feel like this celebration is a little out of place. she never knew dexter that well, but the brand new bead she wears around her neck as a reminder of his death seems to be weighing down much more than all of the other beads on her necklace. after a few too many minutes spent holding said bead between her fingers, in the midst of the party going on around her, she grabs a dionysus camper by the sleeve, holding out her solo cup of soda, awaiting for them to add a few drops of liquid courage into the sugary mixture in her cup.            after a few more minutes, she’s ingested a decent amount of liquid courage, suddenly feeling a little warmer, a little looser, a little more ready to take on her cabin ten party girl personality. she gets up from her seat and begins dancing — alone — to the tune of the mamma mia song everyone seems to be bellowing out the lyrics to. she spins as one song smoothly transitions into the next, suddenly face to face with another camper. ‘ oh my gods, has anyone — ’ she pauses, a soft hiccup escaping her, ‘ has anyone ever told you that your head’s shaped just like a jelly bean ? not like, in a mean way. it’s just — wow ! if i were really hungry i’d — i’d really take a bite out of you. ’

  and despite her best efforts, an single tear escaped from the corner of her eye and made it’s way down her cheek to her chin. in an attempt to snap herself out of it, she quickly wiped it away, catching the eyes of another camper who had seemingly caught the fraction of a moment that ruby came undone. “i’m fine.” she snapped, though it lacked her usual temper.

going into the forest still dressed as eleven was probably not the smartest thing. but it must have looked pretty funny. ruby was just too dedicated to her costume to get changed for the maze. she did put on shoes, of course. but that - and the beige tights she was now wearing - was also just because of the cold. sadly, ruby did not have eleven’s powers. instead, she now turned another corner brandishing her familiar double spiked spear. she probably should’ve been more careful though, as she turned the corner without really looking for danger on the other side of it. there wasn’t any danger, just another camper, but for a moment she was startled and a string of curses left her mouth. catching her breath, she planted her free hand on her hip. “dipshit.” she addressed the other, but she was actually kind of smiling. ruby thrived on chaotic holidays like this. “you scared the living shit out of me. thought you were a monster or some trap or something.”
