The Day has come, so here we go!

You run to your mailbox. It just let out a strange puff of white smoke. Opening it cautiously, you see a square envelope inside. On the front, in big swirly letters, it says "You're Invited." You take it out carefully and open it. There's a note and another piece of paper inside. The note says:
"Hello. You're invited to come spend the next week at Camp Luminance. Please fill out the form immediately.
Best wishes,
Camp Luminance."
You open the next sheet of paper, which is the form, read it quickly, then race up to your house to find a pen.

As you fold up the paper, a whispering noise, strange and uncommon, begins and gets louder. As you cover your ears in an effort to stop the deafening noise, you drop the paper. A mysterious fog fills the room, chilling you and causing you to have shivers. You watch as the form dissolves into the mist and a smaller piece of paper is left behind. Once the noise and fog subsides, you reach out and pick it up. It reads like this:
"Thank you for participating. Grab hold of this paper with your luggage in two days to be transported to the camp. We'll see you soon.
Sincerely,
Camp Luminance."

Feiya said HOGOZ. I refreshed.

In Forest, the campers were getting their counselor buddies for the week. “You are to find your buddy whenever you go to an activity or are heading to the Mess Hall. Your buddy is here to help and make sure everything is okay." Patience took a deep breath and listed off all the buddies, which is as follows:
Swallow has Natalie Torch, a late teenaged girl with several fire themed stickers on her water bottle. Amelia has Penelope Treks, a slim girl who wears deep blue ballet shoes everywhere. Scuttles has Logan Wade, who has a sweatshirt with a picture of rain falling on an umbrella. Moon Wolf has Phillip Fidget, a tall blond-haired man with clouded blue eyes, and sometimes a wolf-themed bracelet. Amari has Tory Rote, who wears smart looking glasses with a tuxedo-colored tank-top he usually wears. Wafflecat has Jude Slack, a shorter-than-average man who has a blue rubber band on his wrist, other than the needed wristband. And Hawkstar has Patience Glide, a girl who is often wearing her favorite necklace with the words ‘If you can dream, you can fly’ inscribed on a silver bird silhouette.
In Seasons, the campers were also being divvied up to their buddies, following the same procedure as Forest:
Celine has Ophelia Whisper, a quiet girl with usually animal-themed headbands. Hex has Laika Patch, a girl who has braces and a Red Cross symbol on her watch. Bushy Tail has Tate Perdu, who has a backwards baseball cap with the words ‘Be clear’ embroidered in cursive above a diamond. Beatrice has Emma Parks, who usually wears a crop-top grey hoodie with the word ‘GROW’ written overtop a flourishing tree. And Lynx has Aura Gale, a tall girl in her twenties with blowing leaf hanging earrings and usually a messy bun.
And in Beach, the freshly arrived Lord Entropy is paired up with Nicholas Arch, a man who wears his favorite black tank top hoodie with a bubble surrounding the words ‘In my bubble of space’.

Top!!

PHEW! Thank you, Toppity & Top! I needed the weekend to recover from two thanksgivings in a row. Or perhaps a week. :I
~~~
Day 1, Part 2:
~~~
The campers, paired with their buddies, began to move into the room. In the green cabin, Patience, smiling a knowing smile, opened the door to the Forest room for the girls and them.
Wafflecat, Swallow, and Hawkstar all gasped at the same time, while the others let their jaws drop or covered their mouths in surprise.
If it could be, I sure it would, but this room would not be described anything other than magical. The wallpaper had a 3-d look to it, the oak trees and all the shrubs seemed to pop out, as if you could touch them and feel the bark or leaves. The bunkbeds were made up of actual trees logs, that once they reached the ceiling, the ceiling was painted to replicate the tops of the trees, covered with a wide canopy of leaves. If you watched the ceiling for a little while, you would see the leaves move with a small breeze, and you would feel that breeze. At night, when the stars came out, you could see the Big Dipper, or Orion's belt through the canopy. In the middle, there were beanbag-type logs and a glimmering, heat-giving, campfire.
In the light blue cabin, Aura opened the door excitedly for Celine, Lynx and Beatrice. The trio stepped admiringly into the environment.
The Autumn room had a similar wallpaper, ceiling, and bunkbeds to the Forest, but this one had several white birches losing their colored leaves, and an occasional deer hidden among the quiet area, and it looked and sounded like the deer was moving or eating. Red squirrels chittered contentedly in the otherwise still woods. There were leaf-pile beanbags in the middle surrounding a large glowing lantern, also heated.
Laika opened the door for Hex and Bushy Tail, who in turn whispered "Woah."
The wallpaper, bunkbeds, and ceiling followed in suit with the previous two rooms, but this time it was a winter wonderland. The trees were pine and evergreen trees, followed up by a bare, grey woodland behind them. A small white rabbit hopped quietly beneath the pines, and two cardinals, male and female, flitted around above. In the center of the room, white beanbags surrounded a deep blue, glowing, ice fire, emitting heat just like the rest.
In the tan cabin, Nicholas opened the door for Lord Entropy with an enthusiastic grin.
The Beach was excitingly different from the other three. The farthest wall had an ocean that moved as an normal ocean would, the waves rising and falling. The floor was peppered with soft seashells, some even having a prediction for the week or a silly joke on the inside, and though the floor had a sandy demeanor, it was comfortably smooth and sometimes even shifting, like the sand on a real beach. The wall with the door had a palm tree forest, complete with small palm looking bushes, and some quiet monkeys , carefully swinging from tree to tree. The ceiling had some seagulls flying, occasionally letting loose a distant squawk, and fluffy clouds. In the center, several comfortable beach towels raised up on a lump of "sand" surrounded a bonfire-like contraption, which, as the others, effused light and heat.
~~~
Alright! I promise that I will be more on top of this in the coming weeks. Thank you again for keeping this thread up and on the first page! Hopefully y'all are happy with your rooms, but, if you prefer to change cabins, you can once, and only once.
(Eeek!! I'm so very excited!!)
(November 27, 2023 - 8:15 pm)
Love it so far! Especially the room descriptions! I'd definitely want to be there irl :)
(November 27, 2023 - 11:12 pm)
Wow, those rooms are amazing!! I WANT ONE OF THOSE TO BE MY ROOM!! And Moon Wolf is right, they're described beautifully :)
(November 28, 2023 - 9:51 am)
So exciting!!!!!! :D
(November 28, 2023 - 2:15 pm)
This is awesome!!

Day 1, Part 3:
~~~
Aura led Lynx to the porch, chatting excitedly about what would happen tomorrow.
“So, after we eat breakfast, we’ll go to our cabins to have a run through on things to look out for, and then we’ll go back outside to have free-time and play games. After that, everyone will go to their different activities for the afternoon. Casey has figured it all out so that everyone will still be with their buddy all day. Anyways, that night after dinner, we will go to the Barn and have a special campfire-marshmallow-welcome thing that Casey, Patience, Laika, Nicholas, and me have all prepared.”
“Sounds interesting!” Lynx said, grinning.
“I loved to get it just right for you all!” It will seem... magical.” Aura whispered. A bush rustled to their right, and an orange something stuck out.
“Um,” Aura laughed nervously, “Maybe we should keep walking.” She pushed Lynx to the porch.
When they had been seated on the benches outside the Mess Hall’s doors, Lynx patted Aura’s arm. She had gotten nervous and alert.
“What’s wrong?” she whispered. Aura looked over at Lynx.
“Sometimes,” she sighed. “ I’m worried the magic will come too early.”
Lynx had just enough time to say “What?” when Casey burst out of the door and drummed her fingers on her clipboard. “I have an announcement,” Her nervous eyes glanced around. “Patience, Aura, Nicholas, and Laika will have to stay out here before they eat. Everyone else may go ahead in.” She opened the double doors to the Mess Hall and waved them in.
Aura had slightly blanched, Lynx noticed, but she smiled to her and beckoned for her to go inside. “Go and save me a spot. I’ll be in there soon.”
So, though against Lynx’s better judgement, she went inside with the other confused campers.

Yay another part! Ooo magic~
(December 4, 2023 - 12:39 am)
Oops! I meant for this to also be posted in that last comment. *sheepish grin* It's the same day and everything.
~~
“What do you think is happening?”
This question was on every camper’s mind, but no one dared to say it. The counselors were all very on edge as they ate the spaghetti and meatballs the cooks had prepared. Hawkstar, who had been glancing around the Mess Hall and at the door for her buddy to return, sighed and listened in to the counselors conversation at her table.
“Ophelia told me she keeps seeing things. She says there are rumors about them coming early.” Tate Perdu said shoving an extra big bite of spaghetti in his mouth.
“That’s weird.” Emma Parks said thoughtfully. “Don’t they do it on the second day?”
“Maybe they sense something.” Tate noticed Hawkstar’s eyes widening slightly. “Your name is Hawkstar, right?” She nodded, and Tate went on. “You want to know something?” she nodded again. “Things are about to get interesting around here.” He winked and ate an especially big meatball. Emma smacked his arm playfully in mock protest.
“Don’t spill the beans just yet!”
“Speaking of beans, I overheard that the cooks are planning on making baked beans on the Friday...”
Hawkstar thought over what Tory had said. Who were ‘they’? Or what were they?
