At one of the tables in the dining hall, a woman with a clipboard sat. She had the list of counselors for the summer and what cabins they were assigned to. The four of them got in line.
(how old do you guys want the kids you're in charge of to be? all of the kids at the camp are 7 to 15 years old. Marcus is going to be the counselor in charge of 7/8-year-old boys)
(Lotus will take the 14/15-year-old females.)
(I honestly don't care. Elis really good with little kids but it would be funny seeing him with teenage boys.)
(When I get round to adding my character, I think they would be better with 12/13 year old girls and/or boys)
(I don't care what age they are, or what gender.)
Raven shook Eli's hand and returned Lotus' greeting. She glanced around the dining hall, noticing the hunting and fishing decor. As she stepped into line with the others, she realized that some of the boys sitting in the area were staring at her. She inwardly groaned, and focused on the woman with the clipboard at the head of the line. The expression on her face told Raven that she was no nonsense.
(I mean, no offense but it's a kids sleepaway camp, there really wouldn't be hunting decor. Also, this is kind of unrealistic because they'd probably have to go through a medical examination and get there a week before camp starts, but I'm impatient)
Marcus finally got to the front of the line. "What's your name?" the woman asked. He told her. She smiled brightly and handed him a piece of paper, one that read, "BUNK 15" and had a list of the kids in his bunk.
"Is there anywhere I can get a drink?" Marcus asked.
The woman pointed towards a table with coolers on it. "We have lemonade and water over there." She turned away from Marcus to face the person behind him. "Next?"
(Oh. Okay. Is this lady played by everybody?)
(You can play her if you want)
(K. Just forget about the hunting thing.)
Raven stepped up, and told the woman her name. "BUNK 16." The woman said, handing her a list of kids. Raven turned and walked in Marcus' direction, since he was the first person she had talked to, and while she did have friends, she didn't have very many, and didn't talk to others very often. She glanced at her list, and noticed that she ended up in a girl cabin. I guess they have to keep boys and girls in separate cabins. She thought, just before she smacked into someone and fell on the floor, getting soaked with water. Raven looked up, and saw Marcus staring down at her.
Lotus stepped up to the lady, spoke their name, and got the same treatment as every other person before them. "BUNK 14" They took the list and gave the lady a little salute before heading towards Marcus and Raven. Lot looked down at the list to see they got put with the older girls. Gossip city they supposed, but that might be fine. They looked to Raven as the girl got soaked and stepped up, "Hey you good?"
(Can people still join this? If so can I join? I have a counselor character)
Raven glanced at Lotus. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just soaked." She said, standing up. "I'll just go dry off." She picked up the cup, handed it to Marcus, and walked towards the bathroom.
Lotus gave a slight nod and looked to Raven, "Okay."
Once she was in the bathroom, she dried off with a towel. All of her clothes were in her bag, so she would have to change later. She walked back out, and stepped outside, sighing. All she wanted to do was go somewhere she could get some peace, and now she had probably gained a lot of unwanted attention.

"Oh my god, I am so sorr–" Marcus started to say, but before he could finish, Raven was gone. Great. It was his first day and he was already messing up, just like he always does. God, this summer was going to be horrible if he continued like this. He had to go find her and apologize.
Lotus looked at Marcus and made a little motion, "Come on. Let's go after her. She probably wants the attention off of her, it's fine."
Marcus gave a small smile to Lotus. "Thanks," he said. He wasn't completely sure what to do with the cup, so he held onto it as they walked towards Raven.
Lotus gave him a nod and a smile as they followed after.
Marcus looked around for Raven. He walked outside with Lotus and found her next to the exit. "Hey, are you okay? I really didn't mean to spill that."
Raven glanced at Marcus. "It's fine. I just don't really like getting a lot of attention, so everything's fine." She answered, maybe a little too quickly.
