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:

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.

Day 0

Soren Infinity stood outside by the road, nervously checking their watch. It was 7:30, and their AEs were growing impatient. Or, at least, Tric was. He stood tapping his foot, glaring at the road.

“When are we going?” he whined. Soren put their hand on his shoulder.

“Calm down, Tric,” they said. “The letter said 7:32. Right now it’s…” They checked again. “7:31.” Boo yawned, and curled up at their feet. Levana reached down to pat him on the head. Tric rolled his eyes.

“Well, can’t you make time go any faster?” Soren raised an eyebrow. He seemed to realize that what he’d said was quite ridiculous, so he huffed and turned away.

Soren’s watch beeped, indicating that it was 7:32. They’d set an alarm earlier that day, worried they’d miss it. They silenced it quickly, then looked down the road. They peered one way, then the other. Nothing. However, when they looked back, they saw a large grey bus flying toward them. They hurried back several paces, picking up Boo as they went, but the bus came to a screeching halt just in front of them. The doors opened, revealing a smiling girl of about eighteen, with silver hair pulled into a messy bun, silver eyes, and a blue t-shirt on that had a logo Soren couldn’t make out, due to the seatbelt across her chest.

“Welcome aboard!” she said cheerfully. “I’ll take your stuff. You would be Soren, Electric, Levana, and... aww, is that Boo?” She unbuckled her seatbelt and hopped off the bus. Soren could then see that her t-shirt read, ‘C.O.T.A.’ in big black letters. She tickled under Boo’s chin, and he giggled. Then, she picked up all of their luggage with surprising ease, and led the way onto the bus. Once the doors closed and their luggage was safely on a rack, Soren, Tric, Levana, and Boo looked around at the interior of the bus. They were the only ones there. The seats were leather, and looked like semi circle benches arranged so that they were facing one another. They sat on two benches that were facing each other near the front of the bus. Soren and Levana on one bench, Tric and Boo on the other, facing them. Once the silver-haired girl had put her seatbelt back on, they were off again. Soren looked for a seatbelt, but didn’t see any. They raised their voice to ask the driver a question.

“Where are we going? To the camp?” The girl laughed.

“No, silly, to pick up everyone else.” Soren nodded, though still confused. They didn’t see how they could pick up everyone who’d been invited at 7:32. It had to be at least 7:40 by then. They checked their watch, and started when they saw that it was still 7:32. They looked at the second hand, and saw that it had stopped moving completely. They showed this to Levana, who shrugged, unconcerned.

“Maybe your watch is broken,” she observed. Soren somehow didn’t think so. It would be extremely coincidental to have their watch break at the exact time they were picked up. Shrugging it off, they noticed a panel of buttons on the wall of the bus next to them. Intrigued, they poked one. At once, the scenery outside the windows changed. They were suddenly driving though a desert, sand flying past them. Levana shrieked involuntarily, and Tric jumped a foot in the air, staring out in shock. Soren didn’t know how to react.

“Did- did we just teleport?” they asked, voice shaking. The silver-haired girl reached out and flicked a switch on the front console. Immediately, they were back on the same dim street they’d been driving on before. “How- how-” Soren stammered.

“We weren’t actually in the Sahara,” explained the girl. “Though that would be very cool. No, it’s just a projection on the windows. All the buttons are different locations you can choose from. Feel free to mess around. Oh, here’s our next stop!” They rolled to a stop, and the girl pressed a button to open the doors. Two girls boarded the bus, each carrying a bag. The silver-haired girl took their bags, then directed them to the seats. They chose a seat on the opposite side of the bus. Soren smiled at them, and one of them waved back. Then, Soren went back to messing with the buttons. They pressed one, and they were suddenly driving underwater. Soren gazed at the multi-colored fish all around them, and the silver-haired girl grinned, looking at them in the rearview mirror.

“This is one of my favorites!” she said happily. One of the girls who’d just boarded gasped.

“The ocean!” she cried, beaming. The other girl smiled.

“Coral, I’m sure we can’t really be in the ocean. First off, there’s the pressure, second off, we were just driving down a road. On land.” Coral, as she was called, looked vaguely disappointed. The silver-haired girl up front nodded approvingly.

“You’re correct, Cassandra,” she said. “It’s just a projection.” Soren filed away the two names. Coral was the girl with the wet black hair, and Cassandra had the brown hair. They were going to do their best to keep all the names and faces straight.

A little while later, the bus was completely full. They’d picked up everyone else (all still at 7:32, Soren noted, after they’d compared watches with another CBer, Viola). The silver-haired girl finally announced that they were on their way to the Camp of the Arts. Soren was excited, and they saw that quite a few other CBers were, too. By that time, everyone had figured out the window projections, so every few seconds, the scene outside would change. Rainforest, a city at night, the sky, past a castle, you name it. Once they were on their way to camp, however, the silver-haired girl flipped the same switch from earlier, turning off the projections. There were several groans and protests from the passengers, but she just smiled and kept driving. Soren noticed that their watch had begun ticking again. Viola leaned around her seat, which was back to back with Soren’s.

“Hey,” she said. “Did you watch…?” Soren nodded, holding it up. They drove along in silence for a while, minus the tired, hushed whispers of a few people. Boo was asleep on Levana’s lap, and she was also nodding off, jerking awake every time the bus hit a stone or dent in the road. Soren couldn’t sleep. They were too excited about the camp. They’d get to write, and sing, and make friends, and it would be so much fun. Eventually, they did drift off into sleep, dreaming scattered dreams about giant harps with pencils chasing after them and other people with unfamiliar faces.

They didn’t know how long it was before they woke up, but wake up they did, to a loud honk of a horn. They jumped, looking around wildly. For a moment, they didn’t remember where they were. Then the recognized the bus, and the silver-haired girl, who had her hand resting on the horn and was very obviously trying not to laugh.

“What was that for?” asked a boy at the back of the bus, looking indignant. The girl put on an innocent smile.

“To wake you up,” she said. “Now, single file line, please, everyone grab your bags and exit the vehicle!” Soren stood up, stretching their cramped muscles, and stood in line behind Cassandra to get their bag. Boo squirmed in Levana’s arms, excited to finally be there. Soren had no idea how he wasn’t tired. He seemed so wired up and full of energy. Rubbing their eyes, they wished they were that awake. They grabbed their bag off the rack, then stumbled down the steps, almost falling on their face. That would’ve been a good first impression, they thought. Levana and Tric followed them, and all the CBers ended up in a clump together, waiting for further instruction. Soren expected the silver-haired girl to drive the bus away, but instead, she snapped her fingers and the bus drove away on its own. Seeing everyone’s shocked expressions, the girl winked. Still looking ruffled, the boy from before spoke up again.

“Where’s Echo? The letter, from her, said she was the camp director. The silver-haired girl smiled and bowed low, sweeping an imaginary hat off her head.

“That would be me,” she said proudly. “Welcome to the Camp of the Arts!”
