Live as long

Chatterbox: Inkwell

Live as long

Live as long as you can in Camp Central. Camp Central is a summer camp (even though it's only March) and we have four cabins, and four to a cabin. Any more than 16 will not work. My counselors are named Time, Illusion, and Eternity. They will show you the ropes but don't expect them to help you too much. The name of the game here is survival of the fittest... I will draw names out of Pandora's Pool every "day." And whoever's name I draw dies mysteriously and scarily. Kind of like the other threads like this. Camp is over when there is only one person left alive.

But here's the thing. If someone guesses who I, Central Radiance, am, camp is over and everyone gets to go home.

I mean, we will have horseback riding and rope swings and s'mores, and here at camp Central, we will all be happy happy fun fun... *laughs in that way that you know he/she is lying about that last part*

Okay... Both of you can join! *quickly adds another space*

But seriously, NO MORE, okay? Okay. Wonderful!

Day 1

The CBers apprehensively boarded the bus. It was silver with blue concentric circles.

The counselors were waiting for them inside. They were wearing blue Camp Central shirts and khaki shorts. They all had silver eyes and platinum blonde hair.

{Whenever you see typing in these brackets, it's me. The counselors are triplets, and that is why they all look alike.}

There was something very slightly off-putting about them, but it was difficult to pinpoint what. The counselors introduced themselves and settled into the front seats (well, Illusion and Eternity did. Time sat in the driver's seat.) The seats were covered in velvet the color of blood.

"This is rather unsettling," Somebody said.

"I like it," Saint Owl replied. The bus was uncomfortably silent after that.

"Let's all sing SONGS!!!" DNA yelled. Somebody and her alter egos started in on Clementine, then were joined by the counselors and other CBers. 

***12 hours later***

Alter egos: -1,687 bottles of root beer on the wall *pant pant* -1,678 bottles of root beer... You take one down, pass it around you got -1,679 bottles or root beer on the wall... (They only kept singing it because they knew it would annoy their sane counterparts.)

"We're here," said Time. The sun was already setting behind the mountains. The CBers were given a quick tour of the grounds and sent to their cabins.

St. Owl

Saint Owl

Somebody

Agent Nightcat

Cabin B:

DNA

Savvy

Winter Firefly

Devil Owl

Cabin C (the partially-demolished cabin):

Over the Rainbow

Cayke

Abigail

Day 1 continued

The CBers were just brushing their teeth, and trying to force their alter egos to do so, when they heard yells and splashing coming from the bridge. They all ran over. Bug nothing was there.

"Look!" Somebody said. They all ran over there, and saw what Somebody had discovered-- Abigail's waterlogged body had floated ashore.

A new feeling of unease fell over the CBers. Only one thing was for sure; they'd all be going to bed more scared that night.

Hey, you know what guys, I'm feeling great! It being Saturday with nothing to do, I may even post day 2 today! 

submitted by Central Radiance, The Center
(March 14, 2015 - 12:11 pm)

Okay! I got impatient.

~Day 2~ 

Precisely 6:31:05 a.m.

All the alter egos woke up.

Agent Nightcat crept out of her cabin, eating an Uncrustable.

DNA jumped out of her cabin, eating an Uncrustable as well.

Devil Owl swooped out of his cabin, and started pecking everyone.

Saint Owl stepped out of her cabin, and started stabbing Devil Owl.

DNA choked on her Uncrustable, and Agent had to do the Heimlich Maneuver on her. "Thanks!"  DNA said, and promplty choked on the Uncrustable again. Devil Owl hooted his lungs out and pecked harder. Saint Owl stabbed him harder. Basically all heck broke loose.

This of course woke all the sane counterparts, who were unamused. The alter egos froze for a second to look at the sane people, then returned to whatever they were doing. Then the counselors showed up. "Today we go swimming," said Illusion. 

Lifeguard practice was weird. Saint volunteered for lifeguard, then when whoever was her partner pretended to be drowning, she said, "I can't swim." Then everyone went swimming-- normal swimming-- in the lake. Saint had lied. She was a very good swimmer.

10:23 a.m. 

Over the Rainbow went off to gather firewood. 

11:00 a.m.

Over the Rainbow is still not back. "We have to look for her!" Cayke cried.  "Devil Owl, you go," St. Owl said. "Why me?" Devil whined. "You're the only one who has wings, that's why," St. replied.

11:47 a.m.

After a long and pointless argument that for some reason featured Uncrustables, Devil was convinced to look for her.

12:00 a.m.

Devil found Over the Rainbow. "Hi!" Over the Rainbow said. Then a watermelon, dangerously unripe, was suddenly called into existence over her head. The watermelon hit her head and was obliterated, but not before Over was killed.

12:11 a.m.

"Hey guys! Devil Owl is back," St. said.

And so he was but Over wasn't with him. Devil recalled the events of 11 minutes ago to everyone.

"Pandora's Pool strikes again," said Somebody after hearing the account of Over's unfortunate demise.

"Indeed," Agent replied.

All the CBers had one question. Who will be Pandora's Pool's next victim?

12:36 a.m.

Agent was taking a walk in the forest. The counselors had just said to be by the fire pit at two, and everyone was doing their own thing. Hope I packed enough Uncrustables, she thought. Suddenly she heard a noise in the underbrush. She whipped around and pointed a dart gun in the general direction of it. Then she silently crept forward. And saw a leprechaun! "Huh," she said. "Just like this month's Cricket.

"I say, you've found me!" the leprechaun said in a thick... British accent. "Well, it seems you have claim to my treasure." Agent's eyes lit upon his treasure. Gold-- lots of it. And Lucky Charms marshmallows. "Yes," she said. "It does, doesn't it?" And she shot the poor, innocent leprechaun. And took his pot o' gold. And Lucky Charms. 

1:00 a.m.

"Hey guys!" Agent yelled. "Look what I found in the forest!" She showed everyone her pot of gold. "Whoa did you find a leprechaun or something?" asked Saint. Agent nodded.

2b continUd!

Day 2 continued

2:00:07

The CBers ran for the firepit and were there at precisely 2:00:07. They were all seven seconds late. "You're all seven seconds late," Eternity said.

"We were admiring Agent Nightcat's POT OF UNCRUSTABLES!! WHAT? No, LUCKY CHARMS!! And GOLD!!!" DNA yelled.

"DNA, you are an embarrassment to us all," Somebody said. 

So anyway, they all had a cookout and made pizza bagels. DNA's quite literally blew up in her face for some reason, and Devil Owl attacked Agent Nightcat, which made her drop her bagel into the flames, which naturally made her mad and she used her newfound shadow power on him. Devil Owl's bagel was dropped on the ground and was taken away by an Australian leprechaun for a resurrection ceremony for the British one. DNA and Saint then engaged in an epic battle of Rock Paper Scissors which DNA lost spectacularly, and when St. Owl and Somebody's bagels rather startlingly slunk away to a different dimension, they engaged in a game of wizard chess. Very suddenly, Katniss Everdeen appeared, followed closely by Aphrodite and a Big Sister from Bioshock 2. The CBers stared at them, they stared back, and then Katniss and Aphrodite slunk away to infinite-dimensional space. The Big Sister started screeching and was about to attack when she was offered a pizza bagel by Cayke. The Big Sister then became rather docile, and would stay with the CBers until camp's end. Oh, and so would the Little Sister who very suddenly showed up as well. 

That night

Saint Owl was jealous of Agent Nightcat's treasure. She wanted it. So she silently stole out of bed, pulled out her knife, snuck up to Agent Nightcat, and...

set off the laser alarm system. It woke Agent Nightcat up and she shadow powered Saint Owl. (St. Owl and Somebody were already up, intently playing another game of wizard chess and simultaneously reading Harry Potter on Somebody's iPad, and were completely oblivious to everything else.) Saint Owl and Agent battled it out silently as St. Owl and Somebody stayed on HP like true fans, and this went on for the rest of the night. 

Will post Day 3 today as well!

Day 3

12:00:03

Cabin A:

Agent Nightcat and Saint Owl were battling it out. Again. St. Owl and Somebody were deeply absorbed in an undercover game of wizard chess and also an undercover reading of Harry Potter on Somebody's iPad.

Cabin B:

Winter Firefly was asleep, Savvy and DNA were singing Nyan Cat, and Devil Owl was doing who knows what.

Cabin C:

Cayke was not very happy about the new arrangements, the Little Sister was fast asleep, and the Big Sister was snoring.

6:30:05 a.m. 

The same thing as last morning happened.

7:50:37 a.m.

Dance-off! Agent, DNA, Somebody, Winter, and Savvy had a dance off. Time put Nyan Cat on and everyone watched them dance to Nyan Cat. Savvy was declared the victor after three hours of Nyan Cat.

8:30:06 a.m.

"Never, ever go swimming in that lake," Illusion was telling the CBers. Suddenly hooting sounded from the lake and the CBers ran over, only to see that Devil Owl had been eaten by piranhas. Suddenly a human-sized piranha burst out of the water, and everyone screamed! "What is this, Piranha 3D?!?!" Somebody yelled. The piranhas suddenly evolved and became able to move on land. Everyone ran, but then the Big Sister showed up, screeched, and dispatched the piranhas. But it was too late to help Devil Owl. Another day, another victim of Pandora's Pool.

Just so you know, all three of the Owls can fly. We can all transform.

Devil Owl can't swim.

Saint Owl loves to swim and enjoys dunking other people.

I love to swim and always stay far away from Saint Owl.

And if I got a wizard chess set the pieces would hate me.

submitted by St.Owl, age Recarnated, Everywhere
(March 15, 2015 - 3:59 pm)

Hmm. Maybe he fell in and the piranhas ate him! And don't worry, I recently got a wizard chess set and the pieces hate me too. 

Random question: Which HP book is your favorite? Mine is book 7.

(March 16, 2015 - 3:07 pm)

I LOVE book 3. People usually go for the later books, but I think 3 totally beats all. And I can't belive I was second to die.

submitted by Over The Rainbow, Where Bluebirds Fly
(March 18, 2015 - 7:17 pm)

That you were the second to die was not my decision. Pandora's Pool made its choice, and I carried it out. (I actually did put everyone's names in a bag and am randomly drawing them out.)

submitted by Central Radiance, The Center
(March 19, 2015 - 6:40 pm)

That's totally fine with me. It's actually good that I died near the beginning, because dying later might have meant a more brutal death!

Day 3 

Agent Nightcat and Saint Owl were having a top-secret Night Watchers meeting in the cabin.

Agent: Okay, how is Operation Take Out Reputation-Busting Alter Egos goin on your side?

Saint: I never agreed to that name. And you realize the acronym is Operation TORBAE, right?

Agent: Well do you have a better idea? Anyway, every time I get close to taking out either DNA or Devil, either Somebody or St. catch me! And then i get put into the energy ball prison, escape, and now Somebody says that of she catches you or me again, were both going to the Alter Ego Detention Center. A.E.D.C. is one of  the more unpleasant things to come out of Somebody's head.

Suddenly a knife went through Agents throat.

Agent: Oh, VERY funny. *pulls out knife*

Saint: That wasn't me. And how are you even alive?

Agent: Cats have nine lives. 

Then a bottle of cyanide from Agent's pack flew though the air and forced itself down Agent's throat. And an anvil materialized overhead and smooshed her. And something strangled her, a crossbow bolt came out of nowhere and shot her through the heart, and a spray of water sufficient to drown her suddenly came into existence. The anvil hit her twice more.

Agent: Okay, that was annoying, but I still have one life--

And then a coconut materialized over her head and killed her.

"Okay, Saint can have her pick of my stuff" was the last thing she said.

Saint: What is it with round things that kill people? But hey, she does have some okay stuff. Even though not having AN around will reduce my efficiency, I will handle just fine.

Any normal person would have been sad, freaked out, and/or disturbed. But Saint Owl is not normal.

Okay, um, okay...

*clears throat* I am thy... Alter ego's spirit, doom' for a certain term to walk the night, until the foul crimes done in my days of waking/are burnt and purged away. (I did that from memory.) Okay, now to the important stuff. Saint: Yes, you may have your choice of any number of my possessions, excluding my cat ears. My alter egos, I leave you my aforementioned cat ears. And all of you AVENGE MEEEEE!!!! AVENGE MEEEEEEE!!!!! Okay, I'm done. See you on the other side.

(March 19, 2015 - 9:12 pm)

Sorry guys, I posted two Day 3s :P. So now it is Day 5, anyways.

So, anyway. Saint was digging through Agent's possessions and had taken out what she found mildly interesting. Somebody was planning a funeral for the victims so far while wondering why the Uncrustable Agent had left them her ears. DNA was bouncing around screeching in victory over Agent's death. Cayke was teaching the Sisters how to bake cake, who else is Not Dead? St. Owl and Savvy were helping organize the funeral. Winter Firefly had gone walking. She passed cabin A. This is where Agent Nightcat died, she thought. She passed the forest. This is where Over the Rainbow died, she thought. She passed over the bridge. This is where Abigail died, she thought. She passed the lake. This is where Devil Owl died, she thought. Then she passed the pineapple mutation center. A pineapple suddenly grew eyes, a mouth, and legs, as a result of the horrible genetic experiments performed on it, and started chasing Winter! She screamed and ran for the bridge, but another mutant pineapple was waiting there. Winter Firefly screamed again...

Rest in pieces, everyone so far, rest in pieces.

List of deaths:

1. Abigail A. Drowning.

2. Over the Rainbow. Suddenly materializing watermelon which was a parody of the Ominous's cantaloupe.

3. Devil Owl. Piranhas.

4. Agent Nightcat. Various causes.

5. Winter Firefly. Mutant Pineapple.

The Funeral

Five coffins lay side by side. There were three white lilies on each coffin. Cayke and the Sisters had contributed a cake to lighten the mood. Eulogies were given, and Somebody says, "I said PINEAPPLES were harmless. MUTANT pineapples are a whole different story." Then all of a sudden, Katniss Everdeen appeared again, as the camp suddenly shifted out of existence. All the CBers felt unpleasantly like they were being drunk like a glass of water. They were for some reason going through hyperspace.

2b continued!
