Spring, June 3rd - Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires

[zenoh]

Where: Forests of Fayren
Warnings: None, but will adjust if something comes up.

Intro:

Ayame had been planning for this trip for some time now ever since she heard about camping in a talk show. Now with the Chimera Infection dying down, she figures it's already safe enough to go for it. Inviting her friends who might be interested in this sort of activity via text message, along with their Pokemon, Ayame went ahead and rented some camping essentials in Genessia City for herself and her party. Shrinking them to pocket-size, they shouldn't have any problems carrying anything to the steep hills of their chosen campsite.

Campsite:

Setting their belongings on a flat area overlooking a good amount of the forest and the distant ocean. Ayame's party makes camp with two-person tents that they could share with someone of their choosing, along with a spare one for supplies like food, weapons, and gear. A spot for a campfire is placed in the middle, and a picnic table for later dining. A hammock is in place for anyone who wants to lay suspended in between a couple of trees, safely nestled near the edge of the hill, giving those on the hammock has a nice view of the forest below. Ayame's pet cat Hibiki can be seen roaming around the campsite, and being unlike her Gardevoir Hibana who is being helpful with setting up the camp. Ayame would primarily be in charge of making the food, but she wouldn't be opposed to some helping hands. Other than lounging around and waiting for the next leisurely activity, Ayame brought a projector screen for movie night in the woods. A pack of wolves and a couple of ravens that Ayame had befriended like to visit the camp, and are surprisingly friendly to the campers.

Hot Springs:

A natural hot spring in a secluded part of the forest, with tall trees and thick vegetation providing ample privacy for the campers.

Waterfalls & River:

If the hot springs is too much in this summer-like heat, the cool and clear waters of the river would seem more ideal, there is a small waterfall not far from the campsite that extends into a river. Ayame makes a raft made of bamboo for any campers to ride and make them feel like floating. This river is connected to a descending stream that the campers could follow, leading them to the next area:

Caves & Cenote:

Half-way to the river's path towards the ocean, there is a fork in the stream with the smaller branch that leads towards a cave filled with water. Anyone willing to dive into this natural maze of wonder and mystery is more than welcome to do so. They get to explore an expansive cave system with bioluminescent lifeforms and crystal formations, and a myriad of other things that lie beneath the surface.

Forests:

Whether through wanderlust, a quick morning walk or jog, or looking for something to forrage in this vast forest, campers can run in to anybody who weren't on the invite list and just so happens to be roaming the woods too. Dangers lurk in these woods, so Ayame advises anyone to go in twos, be on high alert, and bring a weapon if they don't have any special abilities. Luckily, Ayame was prepared for that,
and brought some standard-issue energy rifles from the Dubai subarchway for self-defense, lessons, or for when they're drunk and trigger-happy.

[ And Ayame made their dinners, with the first night starting off with some delicious roast chicken with yellow rice, and a plethora of healthy side dishes ]

Other than going to that award show? No plans, just really wondering how masochistic you people are

[ Camping is torture, okay? ]

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Tsk tsk tsk, can't even take a little pain in your life. Then again, I'm good at making it go away, so if you ever feel like putting on your big girl panties and enjoying outside, I can always help make the annoying parts go away~

[ She gives a cheerful thanks to Ayame, while smirking over her own reply. ]

[majestiq]

You sound like a hooker.

[ Konoka actually had to take a moment to look at what she said previously before realizing that Mariko was perfectly right.

Well. She could only reply with the following. ]

Ouch.

[majestiq]

It scares me how much of an airhead you can still be even in texting, jeez lol

[im_gonna_heal_u]

[ Yep. That's pretty typical. Konoka couldn't even be too miffed at herself. ]

Well, I'm still a work in progress. Guess I better stop now before I dig any more holes.

Really, you should come out here though, the sun can't fry you if you're hiding in a forest.
