zaranyika loved everything nature, which is why she planned to go camping for the weekend. she planned to go solo, but she was also open to possibly joining another person or a (very) small group of people who were also interested in sleeping under the stars.
as she couldn’t afford a tent anytime soon (and wasn’t sure if she really wanted one tbh), z brought two things with her: a hammock, which she had set up between two trees & far enough away from the water so she (hoped she) wouldn’t get eaten by mosquitoes all night. speaking of those little buggers (pun intended), zara’s other camping necessity was simple: bug spray, and a shit ton of it at that. even though she had a sensitive nose, there was something weirdly comforting about the scent of bug spray. just like there was something super comforting about sleeping outside and getting lost in listening to music (her pick for the weekend was sleeping at last, although she had a whole playlist dedicated to camping) and looking up at the night sky.
the brunette was packing up her stuff outside oasis springs; she was struggling rearranging to try and fit everything into her backpack. she ended up having to bungee cord the hammock to the bottom of the bag. she didn’t even notice someone standing by until they made themself known. she jumps when she sees them: “jesus, you scared the shit outta me.”
