ᴄᴀᴍᴘ ᴇʟᴅᴇʀʙᴇʀʀʏ ꜰᴏʀ ᴇᴛʜᴇʀᴇᴀʟ ~ ꜱᴇᴍɪ-ᴅᴇᴛᴀɪʟᴇᴅ discussion

The gardens are both vegetable, fruits, and flowers. Food from the gardens is used in meals, providing delicious and fresh options. Lettuce, carrots, green beans, tomatoes, peppers, strawberries, melons, and more grow. Campers can come and help pick the ripe food, or stop by to get something to snack on. Cabins are recruited to weed and care for the gardens as one of their chores. On the other side of the gardens, flowers in all kinds grow. Wrought iron benches and swings are scattered throughout.

Mckenna entered the garden, book in hand, and sat on a bench. She straightened her skirts, crossed her legs, and opened up the novel. As she read, Mckenna hummed a song she had made up to calm herself.

She was still a bit unsettled. She had come here for some peace and quiet after a fairly strong bout of autophobia and internalized aphobia. Being both Demisexual and Demiromantic was hard enough because most people didn't know what it meant and just assumed that she was gay or something and started bullying her. But being Demi and having magic powers? Now, that was just too much. She was beginning to feel like God had cursed her.

Rina had snuck away from the infirmary after she heard about the garden. She went over to an empty plot and began planting a few seeds. She also planted a rose bush

Rina looked up surprised. “I’m trying to plant this rose bush. It’s a Pope John Paul II rose. They made it especially for his funeral...” Her eyes dropped at this, tears forming

((She just got the news, ask what’s wrong))

Mazo was watching from a doorway, she was trying to be all slick but she was out in the open. She was concerned about her after all. She decided not to say anything for now as planting is normally pretty easy.

((Did Mazo head what she said about the rose bush? She can ask what’s wrong))

She had a not clenched in her hand,so hard that it was causing paper cuts into her palm. She didn’t notice however, she was trying hard not to cry.

Sure I guess.)

Mckenna saw all the people enter but kept her face buried in her book. Being the shy person that she was, she didn't want human interaction unless they came up to her to speak with her.

((If Gracie doesn’t answer. I wanted Alexis to ask))

((But continue))

((Could someone come to talk to Mckenna? SHe doesn't have a ton of experience with human interaction, and it will be a good character growth for her.))

Mazo hugged her from behind, she is soft and warm, it was rather comforting. "What's wrong my friend?" She asked, head tilted slightly. She stroked her hair gently with a warm smile.

Rina saw her, and made a small lily appear from within McKenna’s book. The effort drained her, but she was glad it worked. ((Easter lily BTW))

Rina’s eyes welled up, she couldn’t answer her. So instead, she handed her the crumpled note. ((Have her read it. It mainly says that the latest tests has shown that her cancer had advanced to Stage III. The chemo isn’t working as well and she’s need a bone marrow transplant soon. However, she’s near the bottom of the donor list.))

Mckenna saw a beautiful white flower pop up from inside her book. She smiled and looked around to see who could possibly have done this. She saw Rina planting flowers, and assumed that she had done it. SHe wanted to tell her that she thought it was cool, but Mckenna was too shy and too worried about getting off on the wrong foot.

“Pope John Paul II, he was a famous Pope back in his day. The world loved him and on his death they made this bush to commemorate his life.” ((It’s a pure white rose, I had a bush but it only lasted 4 years. I have another rose bush a Disneyland Rose that’s flourishing right now. Had it for 14(?) years?))

((Guys?))

Mazo read the note and she was shocked. "Ok, I'll see what I can do to take care of this, so it's ok." She said, hugging her a bit more tightly.

((Give it to Alexis. She’s probably wondering what it is))

Kanomi Okina wrote: "“Hi! Wanna come over? I’m trying to plant this rose bush!”"

((Is she talking to Mckenna?))

((Yes she is! She likes making friends and makes it pretty easily))

Kanomi Okina wrote: "“Hi! Wanna come over? I’m trying to plant this rose bush!”"

Mckenna looked up. "Me?" she asked, not wanting to come over to someone who didn't want her around.

Rina smiled at her gently, trying to hide the pain. “Yeah, you seemed lonely. Please come over?”

Mckenna slowly got up, and dog-eared the page of her book and set it on the bench. She walks over to Rina. "Hello," she says quietly.

Mazo gave them both plenty of head pats, it's all that she really knows how to do to cheer them up. She also hugged them both, she is cheery all things considered. "Welcome, I'm Mazo, she's Rina, and you are?"

Mckenna shied away from the girl slightly when she hugged her, but didn't run away. "I'm Mckenna," she said, still quiet.

"That's an amazing name, what would you like to be called?" She asked, tilting her head slightly. Mazo is kinda cute.

“Hi, did you like my lily? It’s an Easter lily, extremely hardy”

"Just Mckenna is fine," she said. Her family called her Kenna, but that nickname was reserved for close friends and family. "I like your name too, is Mazo short for something?"

"No, Mazo is just my name, I don't understand why they named me this but eh, it's easy to pronounce." She said with a shrug. "So tell me about yourself Mckenna"

Mckenna got a little nervous when asked to tell Mazo about herself. A lot of people didn't accept her for who she was, so she wasn't thrilled to tell anyone anything about herself. "What kind of information about me would you like to know?"

"Well like, your favorite things like colour, food, hobbies. Also where you are from. If you tell me about you I'll tell you about me." She said, showing her missing hand, hoping the story behind it may get her talking.

Mckenna smiled. "I like to read, dance, sing, and paint. I like the color teal and my favorite food is macaroni and cheese. That's really all that's interesting about me."

Mckenna was going to leave out the facts about her power and her sexuality because those were the most worthless parts of her and nobody needed to know about them.

((GTG! English class!))

((See ya!))

"Ok, what's your power then? And sorry if this is a bit straightforward but what kinda people are you attracted to? I'm Bisexual if it makes you feel any better." She said, smiling that same warm smile.

((I'm back yall!))

"Voice mimickry," Mckenna said quietly. "I'm not too good at it though." Mckenna was still really insecure and hadn't really gotten over her most recent bout of internalized aphobia, but for some reason, she felt she could trust this girl. "I'm only attracted to guys, but I'm both Demisexual and Demiromantic and have never really gotten over my internalized aphobia, so I feel really out of it and lonely at times."

"Oh, that is really cool dude, I have fear, I can give anybody overwhelming fear and waking nightmares." She said smiling. With those words though now she seemed kinda scary.

Phoebe seemed to suddenly appear next to McKenna. She was directly behind her and only tall enough for her head to reach McKenna's shoulder. "Hi...." She lisped. "what are you all doing?"

Mckenna looked up. "Just talking," she said quietly.

(GTG!! Spanish class is a pain, we're not allowed on our laptops at all.))

((Yikes! It must be hard learning spanish over online, or are you in-person?))

"Of course not dude, I only use it for self defense, but if you happen upon me sleeping it is best to run currently when I sleep there is a chance of plunging people into a terrible waking nightmare. About a quarter of my strength. I have never used my full strength before but just a fraction of it can instantly kill people via heart attack." She said, she was being honest about it at least.

((We're in person. We get all nest week off for Thanksgiving, but we might go all-online after the holiday.))

Mckenna let out a breath she didn't know she had been holding. "Thanks! What fun stuff is there to do here? I haven't gotten a good chance to explore yet."

Mazo sighed and let out a chuckle before noticing Rina was in main. "Rina, if you are in pain allow me to take you back to the nurse, I am also going to offer to be a marrow donor for you, maybe I can help." She said, picking her up, at least both of her arms work.

Team Bolt Challenge: There are 12 plastic eggs hidden in the garden! Find them all, and you will be granted your next clue. They could be anywhere within the gardens, maybe hiding in the daisies, or buried in the tomato patch. Each teammate should grab one of the baskets to hold their eggs. You may use your powers to help you out. Work as a team, or choose to split up! Remember, each challenge should take at least 20 minutes of roleplaying.

Phoebe ran around instantly, looking around in the strangest places she saw. Almost one minute in she already found four. Just like easter! She though happily to herself.

Sam walked into the garden and looked around, then groaned internally. 'I never did like Easter.' he thought, then started to walk around the garden, looking for eggs. He spotted one sticking out of the dirt under a bush and dug it out, then put it in his pocket
