You wake up

Chatterbox: Pudding's Place

You wake up

You wake up and sluggishly crawl out of bed. Yawning, you pour a cup of hot tea (or coffee, whatever floats your boat). You drain the cup, but when you reach the bottom, you find a surprisingly dry folded piece of paper. It reads:

Dearest CBer,

Greetings! How has your summer been? Good? Wonderful. I'd like to invite you to our all-inclusive summer camp- the Camp of the Arts, or C.O.T.A. We have courses in all different arts, as well as counselors and other staff to help make your camp experience as enjoyable as possible. If you choose to join us, please fill out the enclosed form and return via teakettle. You will be picked up at precisely 7:32 on August 1st. If you would like to bring an AE or CAPTCHA (or both), please just fill out a form for them as well! We hope to see you soon!

Best wishes,

Echo

Camp Director

You watch as the paper splits into two right before your eyes. The second sheet is the form mentioned in the letter.

Ooh, sounds fun!

Name: Cassandra the First (You can call me Cassandra)

Age: 12 

Gender: Female, she/her 

Appearance: Dark brown hair in a braid, black, almond-shaped eyes, average skin tone, tall-ish for my age (I'm 12)

Personality: Nice, relatively cheerful, very school smart, but not that street smart, kind of awkward and shy-ish when meeting people for the first time, very imaginative and has lots of ideas, I love to be a leader but am sometimes too scared to do so, when I'm very angry I start yelling at people and get slightly violent

Packing List: Toiletries, clothes, notebooks and pencil case (that has pencils, colorful pens, sticky notes, a ruler, white-out, two compasses (one is the navigational kind and the other is the math kind), erasers, and an expensive TI-Nspire graphing calculator), snacks, jump rope, flashlight, water bottle,

Name: Coral of the Sea (call her Coral)

Age: Looks about 12 

Gender: Female, she/her 

Appearance: She has tangled, messy, and black hair in a high ponytail. Her hair is always dripping with seawater, even if she hasn't been in the sea recently. She has black eyes and very, very light freckles from being out in the sun for a long time. She is slightly nearsighted, and has glasses with the frames made out of dark blue sea glass, but she rarely uses them, only when she needs to see the board from the back of a classroom or something like that. Also, she almost always dresses in cotton. Her usually attire is a long sleeved shirt with sleeves halfway down her forearms, leggings that go to anywhere between her knees and ankles, and a pair of sneakers. She loves for her clothes to have elaborate patterns and colors.

Personality: Imaginative, curious, and creative, Coral LOVES writing. She's also very poetic and will sometimes randomly sprout poetry. Coral is also a very deep thinker. When she's thinking very deeply, she likes to sit down on a rock, prop her chin up with her left fist, and her eyes will get this faraway look in them. When she's extremely deep in thought, she'll be oblivious to the outside world, lost in her thoughts. But this doesn't have very often; normally she snaps out of it pretty quickly.

Packing List: A jar of ocean water (always, always, always), clothes (colorful and patterned, of course), a LOT of notebooks, her pencil case (has the same things as Cassandra's minus the calculator (she isn't as mathy as me)), toiletries, a whole bunch of pretzels and Chex Mix (her favorite snacks), water bottle

Preferred Art: Writing 

Other: She has some sea powers. For example, she can cup her hands, and seawater will appear. Then she can play with it however she likes. She can also manipulate fresh water like this, but she's better with seawater. Also, she can drink seawater and not get sick or super thirsty.

Gummy says evnt. Event? This event? Oh, you want to come too? No, Gummy, I don't think so. You're too soft and vulnerable. I couldn't imagine you being hurt! Besides, it's not going to be all play. No, you can stay in your gummy bouncy house, m'kay?
