There is a noise behind you, and you turn away from your computer just in time to see a giant hamster wearing a top hat appear!  He hands you a photograph of something and disappears in a puff of pink smoke. 
Odd, the photograph is of...nothing, just solid white. Puzzled, you turn back to your computer only to notice that words have been added to the post! Your eyes scan over them quickly, wondering how that was possible.

Thanks for your suggestion!

Whoawhoawhoa. I posted another entry right before this comment and it hasn't posted! Please tell me you got it, Admins. It took me forever! Or are you just considering and reading it over? If there's something you need me to change tell me!

 

We posted it now! Please let us know if there's anything else missing. -Admin

I'm still reading! This was a really good idea, Manager! Keep writing!

Fflewddur says wfbo. Well, Bo is Daisy's cousin who pulls motorcycles with his teeth, so... I'm not sure what Fflewddur intends to mean by that.

Bo is (well, used to be) a character from Muse.

Puck: (Gasping for breath after her faint) I..... ATE.... A..... WORM.....

Me: It's all right Puck, calm down, it was just an earth worm. (Grabs one and waves it in front of Puck's face.) See? They're harmless.

Puck: HARMLESS?!?!?! I ATE ONE!!!!!!!!! HAVE YOU EVER EATEN A WORM BEFORE?!?!?!

Me: No.... but it's not such a big deal..... (An even bigger deal is eating the honey and meatballs. Seriously, that was GROSS!!) <!--break-->

Puck: THIS ISN'T OVER DEVIL OWL!!!!! (Grabs her bag of Pranks) IT IS ON!!!!! (Leaves the room in search of Devil Owl.) 

Me: Oh boy. I'd better go find out what she's up to, and try to calm her down... again. Chances are, Puck and Devil Owl are going to make up and become best pranking buds in the end. And to answer your question CM, I am still reading this and am really excited to see what happens next!! Keep going!

No, I really do want to know, who is still reading this? Give me a shout out if you're still here... please...

The next morning, the campers left for breakfast. They hadn't had any dessert last night as punishment for the awful mishap (purposeful prank really, but nobody but Dev and Puck new that) in the dining hall. It was a lovely, sunny, day, like out of a picture book. 

The Killer Campfires arrived first. It wasn't quite time for the meal, so the attendees of the camp lounged around the free-time area outside of the building. There were benches, a basketball court, picnic tables, pingpong arenas, and a gaga ball pit. 

Danie paced back and forth inside the ring. She was being held very gingerly by Cayke. The only one comfortable with the mysterious object was Shifting, but since Danie was not in her cabin, Cayke was brave enough to carry Danie around. She set the ring on a picnic table.

Then she jogged off to join Silvery in a game of ping-pong. Danie sighed. This was really a drag. It was boring, uncomfortable, and annoying being stuck inside a ring, and only with a pair of jeans and an arrow. She picked up the latter and turned it around and around in her hand. There was something unusual about it. She peered in closer...

Question: Do you want more frequent, short chapters or infrequent long ones?

I really am reading! 

And as for chapter length/frequency, well, whatever you prefer.

I think I'll try to post more often but keep it longish.

Admin, I am fairly sure I posted another installment/chapter last night. Please tell me you got it. It was about Danie and jam and toast...? If so I can rewrite, I just would like to know before I write another part.

 

All the posts should be up now. Please let us know if it's still missing. ~Admin.

Pfft. So much for posting more frequently.

Something was enscribed on the side, carved right into the body of the arrow. It was much too small to read, however. Danie threw the weapon onto the ground in frustration. Cayke's eye appeared over her suddenly. 

"Breakfast!" She said cheerfully, slipping the ring onto her finger and skipping off. With each step her friend took, Danie swayed.  Grumbling, she was finally set onto a table. She observed Cayke's table-mates: Air, Silvery, Puck, Joan, and Sydney. 

"So, how was your first night of camp?" Sydney asked Cayke.

"Eh." Cayke said, taking a bite of french toast. "... Normal, I guess."

"Ours was fairly uneventful too..." Joan said. She lowered her voice. "Minus Puck sulking about eating a worm."

"HEARD THAT." Puck muttered.

Dev sauntered by. He grinned at Puck and stuck out his tounge. She lunged at him, knocking over Air's cereal.

"Cool it!" she said. "I really like these Coco Puffs!" She ran to get a napkin, and Joan shoved Puck back into her seat. Dev laughed and walked smugly away.

"I'd really like to kill him." Puck said. "Ooh, better yet, prank him until he commits sucide!" 

"I" Joan commented, jabbing a thumb at Puck "Would really like to make her into a living mummy."

Squeak hurried over, holding a slice of toast, a knife, and a small container of jam. "If you don't mind," he said, "This is for Danie." 

He tapped all of the above onto the ring, whereas they appeared in Danie's hands. "THANKS!" She yelled, though she knew he couldn't hear her.

"No problem." her brother replied, walking off. Danie began to spread the jam on the bread. Mmm, strawberry. Her favorite. 

Meanwhile, Somebody was spreading jam as well, but this one grape. She decided to cover every inch of the top of the bread with the purple glop. Concentrating very hard, she looked at nothing but her toast.

"It's not that big a deal!" St Owl consoled her. "A lot of embarassing things happened last night. Puck ate a worm. Jarvis spilled her salad twice. Cayke got noodles in the face. Danie is STUCK in a ring."

"... and I lost my pants." Somebody moaned, looking up. 

"At least you were wearing underwear!" Volcano Flame cackled, waving her spoon in the air. It lit on fire. "Ooh, spoon-torch!" Volcano said in delight.

Shifting rolled her eyes and put it out. "You are seriously not helping." She said, biting into a non-corpeal croissant. "But." she admitted. "I do love your teddy bear underwear!" 

"Stop it." St Owl defended her friend.

"Yes, do." Feather added, somewhat redundantly.

Dev plopped himself in the midst of the girls, smiling maddeningly.

"What." Shifting said with no emotion, licking crossaint crumbs daintily of her fingers. 

"He's just happy he got Puck back for pushing him." Feather said.  

"I wouldn't be happy." Somebody said wisely, looking up from her jam-spreading. "I would be worried about what she's gonna do to you."

"Going to." Feather said. "Gonna is NOT a word."

Also, Admins, are you taking any days off for the holidays? You deserve it! 

Ookz says noak! And oak? You think the Admins should get oak, too? 

 

Yes! We will be taking some time off for the holidays. One of the admins will be out of town from the 24th through Monday the 4th. So expect that some of the posts might be posted later than usual. Have a happy holiday, everyone! ~Admin
