#qsc

ahhhhhh first of all anon ily <333

here’s my ideas for the summer camp au so far :)

- it’s called quesadilla summer camp (im so creative lmao)

- the camp was created on an experiment. if it went well, they would implement the plans on a larger scale. (what’s the experiment? it’s assumed it has something to do with crossing the language barriers but no one actually specifies)

- all participants get college scholarships

- but the whole thing is really badly executed? like it just does not have the set up or functionality of a normal summer camp

- there’s just very little supervision or guidance

- the camp is run by some version of the duck, and they’re very uninvolved which leads cucurucho and zero to just Not Care.

- counselors are rubius, cucurucho, and the code entity

- the code entity goes by zero

- zero really doesn’t talk but they all learn pretty easy it’s how fucking awful of an idea it is to piss them off

- cucurucho and zero are they/it besties

- rubius is the same age/around the same age as the campers, cucurucho and zero are older

- sometimes one the campers walks into their cabin and sees an entirely new person in their cabin, which is normal. they switch cabins constantly

- the first week people just keep. randomly wandering off. “where’s wilbur?” two hours later wilbur walks out of the woods with a rock. (not even like a cool rock. it’s just a normal fucking rock)

- phil’s the mom friend. but he’s still a disaster. he’s just the only one with any shred of responsibility. he’s also just got an aura of trustworthiness that makes everyone trust him with their problems

- fit is just. so chill

- he also just? always has what you need? “yeah sorry it’s a bit hot in here, a screw that seemed important fell out of the fan earlier so we haven’t turned it on yet” “oh! i think it’s in here- nope screwdriver’s in the left pocket, where did you say the screw was?”

- dan just kinda disappears for a bit? cucurucho tells the campers he went on vacation but they don’t entirely believe them. dan comes back a little different.

- spreen is always either starting chaos or nowhere to be found

- quackity manages to keep putting himself in the middle of like every problem whether he’s involved or not

- however charlie pretty much is always involved

- luzu is had DID and arin is an alter

- luzu does know about arin but he was just diagnosed and is still figuring it all out

- roier flirts with everyone (except jaiden, he respects her boundaries)

- wilbur brought his guitar with him and sings at the campfire some nights

- charlie only joins in on the meme songs

- jaiden finds the most. random shit. “hey guys i found $20 stuck to the bottom of the picnic table with a piece of gum” “oh dude look! a patch of four leaf clovers!” “woah look at this cool bottle cap i just found!”

- maximus is a conspiracy theorist but in like a, hey this actually genuinely makes sense kind of way

- bad is terrified of spiders

- he saw one in the bathroom of his cabin and was completely moved in to a different cabin within seven minutes

- roier finds this hilarious

- foolish and vegetta are dating. no one knows how they got together or when they got together. if you ask either of them, you’ll get two completely different answers

- the brazilians join two-ish weeks in

- they all arrive together in a bus together and have already formed a Friendship on the journey there

- the bus was almost set ablaze 4-6 separate times (depends on your definition on separate)

- there is an extremely done cucurucho driving the bus

- forever sees phil and immediately turns to tell felps how that is the man of his dreams

- mike and pac are inseparable. they’re just kind of always within the vicinity of each other.

Queen Salma College Student Questionnaire

Name: Avery Calissa Rowan (“But call me Avie, please.”) Age: 20 Academic Level: Junior Major: Musical performance (violin) Minor:  Law & Government Scholarships/Grants: None

Extracurricular Activities: Archery Clubs/Memberships: Music club Academic Ranking: Honor Student

Favorite Subject: “Music, of course. Isn’t that obvious?” Least Favorite Subject: “I think my mother would have my head if I said politics and government, so, certainly not that. Definitely not.” Favorite Instructor: “Well, that depends on your definition. If you mean favorite as in who I can learn the most from — Professor Vallister, of course. She can be...well, if you know her, you know what I mean. But, I wouldn’t be the musician I am today without her. 

“Now, if you mean who I’d ask to have a drink with me at the pub, well, I don’t think I’m allowed to answer that.”

Favorite Campus Hang-Out: “The gardens are pretty, of course. Most people enjoy being there. And the libraries are nice as well, if you like that kind of thing. Honestly, I just like being where there are people around.” Favorite Off-Campus Beetletun Hang-Out: “If my parents or instructors are asking, it’s the Tulip Cafe. And I do like it! It isn’t a total lie. It’s a great place to study, after all, and the best place to get a cup of coffee within an hour’s walk. But if I’m being completely honest — The Cat and Talon. Any student who says otherwise is a liar. Or boring.”

Favorite Banquet Hall Dish: “Every once and a while, they’ll think we’re deserving of the truffle risotto and it is divine. But I can’t remember the last time they had it. Maybe they fired the person who made it? Or killed them for their secrets, and then did nothing with them. What a waste.” Least Favorite Banquet Hall Dish: “Skalefin soup! Ugh! Why do we even have it? Did they just dig through the garbage and make something one day? Listen, I’m from Ebonhawke — I know a sad meal when I see one. But that stuff is inhumane.”

Favorite Non-School-Related Activities: “It would be boring of me to say playing music, so I won’t, though I love doing so even in a non-academic setting. I won’t say something cliche either like reading or being with my friends, despite the fact that they are excellent pastimes. I’ve actually been spending an absurd amount of time learning to play some Krytan card games, and in turn, have taught ones I remember from Ascalon. There are similarities, though at times they’re so close it’s almost annoying. It’s like trying to understand a language in an accent you’re not used to. “Otherwise, I received an interesting invitation to go bird watching the other day, so maybe I’ll add that to my hobby list and get back to you.”

Suggestion Box:

“Oh, I don’t know. You’ve put me on the spot!

“...Bring back the risotto?”

Dearest Vlad,

I’m pleased to write that I am feeling completely recovered from the awful cold I had earlier this week, thanks to you and the ample rest you recommended. It was kind of you to pay a visit and help relieve my symptoms.

But I write to speak with you on another less personal matter as well. Your help and the involvement of the college’s students at Salma Beautification Day inspired me lately to think of more opportunities for collaboration between Queen Salma College and Salma District, which share the same namesake. As you well know, the district’s new minister endeavors to revitalize the three large pillars of the community: the Merchant’s Coin, the Vanguard Hospital, and the Queen’s Heart Orphanage. 

It occurred to me that the last of those three might benefit greatly from the academic and intellectual resources that the college has to offer through its professors and students. Perhaps through the rotary club, tutoring club, or individual professors and departments, the college could bring greater educational opportunities to the orphanage. The children there would not otherwise have access to such learning but will nevertheless need it, for they will compose the citizenry of our future. 

And if we could arrange for professors and students to offer lessons at the orphanage, perhaps we may even consider opening up the opportunity to the larger public. At the recent Ministry’s Candidate Debate, I encountered a man who had little idea what the purpose of the gathering was and wondered if there was not free food and drink to be had. I went on to learn that he was largely illiterate and it occurred to me that he might not have an understanding of the event because he could not read the posters around the city that would have better informed him. I fear there may be many others like him who are incapable of actively participating in our government because they are left uninformed by their lack of literacy. Suffice to say that I think a cooperative endeavor to bring greater education to the poor and common of Salma District and the city at large will be a boon not to be discounted.

Write to me of your thoughts, Cousin. I should like to hear them and know if there is a way you might be able to assist me in such a pursuit.

With all my love,

Annika
