1. Morning

(When they awaken, they find that the air is wet and warm. The ground is damp and covered in bumpy roots, soft moss, and low plant life. Trees grow high, obscuring much of the sunlight save the little that can filter through the canopy.

Where did they end up this time?

All around, there's the constant hum of insects. It makes sense considering the kind of atmosphere this place has. Imagine how big the mosquitoes here must be! Actually, you don't even have to imagine because the humming grows louder and louder... or is it actually getting closer and closer? There's a shift in some of the bush and a bladed insect comes charging--

Zip!

From above, an arrow pierces the insect through the middle, pinning it down on the ground. A second arrow soon follows right through the head, killing it.)

Aaaah! (The archer lets out a loud sigh, revealing himself from atop a large root,) Look at the size of that thing.

And there's more where that came from too!

2. Afternoon

(Thanks to plot convenience, they've managed to procure some camping supplies. Ingredients for s'mores, mosquito coils, and some... traps? Wow, what's out here? Okay, yeah, sure, they have some other things too like a tent and some water so they don't really have to worry about necessary things but the only things that matter in this universe are materials you can farm!!!

First things first though, they need to establish their camp which means doing some set up.

- Set up the tent
- Get a fire going
- Set a boundary to keep monsters away
- Collect some Scout Badges?

He wonders if this is why he was brought to this place. He's very much in his element right now, even if it's a lot warmer here than it was back in Sherwood.

He's trying to tackle this shelter situation first. There's a big ol' pile of metal rods and a mass of cloth and a pile of tangled ropes all thrown about on the ground. It looks a lot more complicated than the tents he's used to setting up. This sort of thing is practically a manor!

And of course there are no instructions.

Well, it's nothing he can't handle if he can just figure out what exactly he's making.)

Let's see... (He's managed to find three large pegs that seem to be for the "main" area of the tent. ) Oi, help me look for another one of these.

(A big peg instead of... all of these little ones. How many attachments does this tent need?!)

3. Night

(Night falls on Camp Chaldea. Even if they've set up their traps and repellents for the night, there's still a chance that another insect or boar might wander into the camp so it's best to keep watch. Whoever is on watch can also keep the fire going. It doesn't need to be big given how warm the forest is even at night but it'll keep some of the other wild animals away.

It's Robin's shift and when asked if he'd need a partner, he'd insisted he'd be fine. He didn't mind staying up and he didn't mind being alone. This is nothing he can't handle and if anyone approaches their camp... well, they'll never know what hit them. So rest up already! If you do, he might even let you sleep in a bit before its your turn. Maybe.

He's got this.

So when he sees you up when you aren't supposed to, he waits in the shadows to see if you're going to go back to sleep already. When it becomes obvious that you're not going to do that any time soon, he rolls his eyes and reveals himself from a high branch in a tree to pointedly remark, )

Isn't it past your bed time?

5. ???

( What's up, let me voice test. I have some SUMMER CAMP CHALDEA shenanigans here but I'm down for other scenarios too if you are. As usual, you can hit me up via eski / eski#9874 / PM. )

Rude.

[ In order to disguise the mini heart attack Robin had just inflicted on her - even though she'd known he was on watch and happened to be incredibly good at not being seen when he didn't want to be - Ritsuka fires that off before she has an actual answer to give him.

Of course, she recovers swiftly enough to follow up with-- ]

I can sleep anytime and anywhere!

[ Which. Is true. Sometimes standing up, Mash is very impressed by this. ]

(Nice try! He knows he caught you off guard, Master. Not much gets past these sharpshooting eyes.

He prefers to keep the higher ground still so he doesn't leave his current post. He can get view of their surroundings from up here and while things might be uneventful right now, should anything change, he wants to see it before it sees them,)

Right, right. So what's got you up this fine night, Master?

(He doesn't mind too much if she's going to be awake but she better not say because she's worried or anything undeserving like that.)

[ The correct answer is "nightmares", but Ritsuka only rubs the back of her tousled head with a rueful smile and gives a semi-truthful one instead. ]

You know, those humongous bugs are kind of hard to get out of my head... I just wanted to make sure they weren't nocturnal.

And if they are, I'm here for backup!

Everything's gotta sleep eventually. (Even bugs.) But there are all sorts of bugs that come out at night, too.

(Is he teasing? Absolutely. But he's also being honest. Who knows what else is out here! It's the whole reason they have these watches set up.)

Well, if you're here to help I won't say no. (And he leans agains the base of the tree, arms crossed and with a smirk,) Are you coming up, master?

Oh, sure. Just one minute, Lord of the Trees.

[ She's... definitely not any kind of great tree climber these days, but she did shimmy up branches back when she was young enough to get away with it. This should be doable.

... After some jumping attempts to actually snag the lowest branch, one moment. ]

Is that the best you've got?

(It's not bad. He admires your moxie! And he'll watch for just a little while longer before... leaping down to land next to her. It's easier for him to get down on her level than it is for her to get up on his. The last thing he needs is to worry about her falling out for whatever reason!

... Not that he would let that happen.)

Don't worry about it.

(He was just teasing! He didn't expect her to really do it!)

I was thinking of checking the fire, anyway.

(It's starting to die down! Which is fine, it doesn't need to be big and bright when no one is really using it but they'd been using it to burn some herbs that had been foraged earlier to keep smaller insects away. )

Maybe patrol a bit... it's been pretty quiet so far.

I'll go with you!!

[ Not too fazed by her tree branch struggles ending before they could truly begin, Ritsuka thrusts a hand into the air. ]

I might as well make myself useful, right?
