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 tosneak 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!]

omg cutest icon ever
The question was a loaded one, and he could lie and say he was fine or be honest with the tiny warrior. She reminded him too much of Iris (mostly in stature and in enthusiasm during a battle) though, and he didn't have the heart to be dishonest with Emeralda.
"No... not really." He answered with a sigh, head falling dejectedly forward to better hide his face.
"My sister's gone. An' I really messed up with my friends. How're you?" Gladio belatedly realized that she was a bit quieter, her smile less wide, than when he'd last seen her and found himself curious about what happened to dull Emeralda's shine.
And maybe he was looking to talk about literally anything else.
Right?
"I-" She started to answer, but stopped, sitting up a little straighter as she tried to sort through her thoughts. Because she didn't know how to answer that question at all. Not without dwelling on...well, what she was already dwelling on, to be honest. Finally she sucked in a long, unnecessary breath, and her chin sank back down onto her knee.
"Fei and Elly are gone," she finally said. She had no idea if he knew them or not, frankly, but that was about all she could manage for the moment.
no subject
When she rested her chin on her knees she looked even smaller than usual and that, coupled with her tone, called to every brotherly instinct in Gladio's body and without thinking he placed a gentle hand on Emeralda's back.
"M'guessin' they were friends of yours?" He began rubbing soothing circles on her back, completely unconsciously, as he kept his voice low and soft. "Sorry t'hear they're gone. Y'wanna talk about it?"
no subject
"They my parents," she answered as she looked back at the fire. "Sort of. It complicated. But they...parents."
Xenogears was weird okay?
"But Emeralda got up last week and they gone. House empty."
no subject
Crap, it's practically what he'd done. Except he came back to the people he left behind. Gladio had a feeling that these two hadn't returned though.
"Are you ... do you want us to look for them?"
He wanted to ask if she needed a place to stay - if she didn't want to be in a house alone - but the wound of Iris' empty bedroom was still to raw. Plus he'd have to talk it over with everyone else in the house first.
"That's ... damn, I'm sorry. Having family disappear isn't easy..."
no subject
"They gone," she finally answered, looking up at him. After a few seconds she managed a smile, but it was a pretty week.
"I okay." She added, maybe trying to be reassuring. "Maybe they come back." At least her optimism was still there somewhere.
no subject
"Sure, Emeralda. Anything's possible, right?" His smile may not be the most honest, but Gladio tried to give the small Berserker an encouraging one.
"An' if you need someone to talk to, cuz you're feelin' lonely or anything ... message me. Or come over to my place for a sparring match?" Gladio figured he could stand to train against all varieties of jobs, including Berserker.
Plus he had a feeling the tiny fighter would prove more challenging than she appeared.
In the end, he just wanted her to know she wasn't alone.
no subject
It put a perspective on what was possible.
"Okay. Thanks. Will talk," whether that meant sooner or later, who knew? At the sparring idea she did seem to perk up, and there was even a little smile there.
"Sure!" A pause. "I go easy on you."
Sometimes she forgets she's not ridiculously strong here like she was back home. Whoops.
