Event || Camp Curtisy Retreat

Who: All characters
When: July 17th - 22nd
Where: Nah Nami Reserve
What: Characters go to the campgrounds to do some team building exercises and build CR.
Warnings/Notes: See prompt D for Mognet glitches



A. Arrival

[On the morning of the 17th, Mogaruru directs the outworlders and Curti Center employees who have signed up to the airship headed to the Nah Nami Reserve. Counselors hand out pamphlets with maps, general camp rules, and the week's itinerary. This place loves their pamphlets. Fortunately, most of the rules detail common sense: quiet hours are at 10pm, no smoking or alcohol, no harming the forest wildlife, no setting off fireworks.

After they touch land, the arrivals are free to pick their cabins and set up their rooms before gathering at the mess hall for lunch.]


B. Team Building

[It's not a corporate retreat without ice breakers! On the first day, every splits into groups sharing their names and one interesting fact about themselves. Throughout the day, there's all sorts of get-to-know-each-other events. Maybe Never-Have-I-Ever (alcohol is replaced with juice). A game of Truth or Dare? Trust falls? If it's meant to foster friendships, it's here.

There are also races and obstacle courses for those that want to compete as a team.

Mogaruru oversees the main activities, even leading a workshop in building paper-mache Moogle masks, encouraging everyone to find their passion.]


C. Actual Camping

[There are important life skills to be learned when living in the great outdoors. Hiking, learning about local flora and fauna, and cooking are included in the itinerary. Complaining about the sun and constant reminders about staying hydrated, too.

In the evenings, there's campfires for any type of socializing. Perhaps now is the time to have heart-to-heart chats over roasting marshmallows or swap scary stories about the Camp Lake Ira Killer.]


D. Late Night Hijinks

[After dinner, campgoers are allowed to use Mognet to catch up with news and chat with friends...though considering the glitches that occur during this event, it may prove to be less relaxing considering the glitches that occur in Kupoto's charge.

Things are fine on the 17th. On the 18th, however, messages to and from the Curti Center are delayed by 10 minutes. In an effort to fix this issue, Mognet is down at the Curti Center on the 19th. On the 20th, it's fixed...but all posts are made public. On the 21st, this is addressed, but now every subject line begins with "!Kupo".

Someone is going to have a stern talking-to when Mogaruru returns.

But that's fine. Campers are free to sneak travel outside in a group for totally legal activities. After all, no one would sneak booze or fireworks or play pranks on the other cabins, would they?

At least, if they don't get caught. Otherwise, it's cleanup duty for the rest of the trip.]


E. The Great Outdoors

[The Nah Nami Reserve boasts beautiful forests and a beach. The weather is beautiful. There are no monsters on the reserve...unless one considers the large fish living far from the beach shoreline to be monsters. Or if they are unlucky enough run into one of the larger animals in the forests. Fighting back can be overlooked as long as they don't grievously injure their opponent, ideally escaping without harm to either party. These are protect species, after all. It shouldn't be a problem if they are with Camp Curtisy counselors, but chances are there are some hiking groups that decided to explore the entire island on their own.

The beach includes a long stretch of sand, rock outcrops with tidal pools, and a net for volleyball. Some counselors have "TEAM LAVODE" shirts left from last month's Blitzball tournament, especially the Hypello lifeguards.]


F. Lessons Learned

[Now's the time for the campers to shine. Counselors lead workshops on arts, crafts, survival skills, and languages, but slots are open for all participants to lead a class of their choosing. Want to teach the history of your homeworld? Have any other skills you wish you share? This is your chance to show off what you know!]

"No... no, I don't." Sasami said. She let out a sigh as she stopped, still looking up. "For the longest time, I thought I was something different and, coming to this world, I found out that wasn't the case. I wanted to do so much with this time, but... where's the fun in that?"

"Staying busy is one thing. Doing everything on your own shoulders is another." replied Nanamo. "Find your center on where you want to work at things."

“I will, don’t worry.” Sasami said, letting out a soft sigh before she reached up and undid her twintails, letting her long hair hang loose. “I should start by loosening up a bit!”

"A wise decision, it's something I've taken to heart as well." Said Nanamo. "Less formal more impulsive."
saint_sami: (Sasami - Holding on to Hope)

"You know about things like that?" Sasami said, blinking curiously.

"I am a Sultana, I have been learning how to rule my country for a while now," replied Nanamo.
saint_sami: (Sasami - Got a secret!)

"Hee... I'm a princess, but I haven't had that chance yet. Not when there are others ahead of me." Sasami admitted.

"I see," said Nanamo. "I've known nothing but rule so I guess we are on different paths of life."
saint_sami: (Sasami - Adorable)

"But not here!" Sasami pointed out. "Back home, we may be various things, but here, we're just two regular people. Our titles mean nothing here."

"Exactly. While we do not need to live up to our rule, we need to be the best we can be, without overwhelming oneself." replied Nanamo, smiling at her.
saint_sami: (Sasami - Yay!)

[personal profile] saint_sami 2018-07-23 09:19 pm (UTC)(link)
"Uh-huh!" With that, Sasami went to join Nanamo. She let out a small breath as she returned the smile. "I feel like a lot's been off my chest now..."

"Thanks!" Sasami replied. "Now, I need to figure out what I should do next. I know there's a school, but I've never been to one before. That, and I know I'm going to be losing a home soon, so I'm gonna need that, too. Especially if they won't let me have one on my own."

"You are very welcome to move into my home for a while." said Nanamo. "The only boarder I have is my friend Castor."
saint_sami: (Sasami - Pray)

"Are you sure?" Sasami asked. "I would hate to barge in like that!"

"I am not about to put someone on the street if I can help it." Nanamo grinned, nudging her. "Maybe you'll find it entertaining in the city."

Sasami giggled that. “Alright, I’ll do it. I must thank you, though. You’ve been so helpful to me...” with that, she bowed at Nanamo, hair just spilling over her shoulders.

"I'm glad to help. This world offers such a wide breadth of things for me to do and help with. I really enjoy it." said Nanamo with a smile.

"I hope I can enjoy it as well." Sasami said. "C'mon, let's see what else is here, hm?"

"Yes, let's." She smiled, pointing into the wilds. "Let's go exploring!"
saint_sami: (Sasami - Yay!)

"Mmn, c'mon!" Sasami said, taking off on ahead, feeling a whole lot more carefree than before.
