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. )

(Maybe it was a little serious for his taste but given some of the other people he's had to deal with at Chaldea, this is hardly the strangest or worst idea he'd expected to hear. )

Right.

(He adjusts his cloak slightly. If they're going to go on a hunt, he'll have to blend in to catch the enemy by surprise. As for his companion for the day... well,)

I'll take the lead. Can't have you trampling through the trail. (That's the only reason he volunteers to be in the front this time.) I'm no good when it comes to direct fighting so you'll have to cover me from behind if we run into trouble. Should be no problem for a Caster.

(It might be nice if they had someone with them who could charge ahead if they ran into trouble but oh well.)

Maybe we'll run into some other guys, too. Keep an eye out.

(Because they can't be the only ones? Master's gotta be around here somewhere, right? And they'll just start with the direction the original insect had come from. )

You can count on me!

[ Nitocris sounds a lot more confident that she feels. All the same, she forces herself to hold her head high as she follows Robin. Nitocris is a Pharaoh, after all. She can't lose face in front of Robin just because his all-too-true comment about her clumsiness hit a sore spot. She wouldn't be able to face Ozymandias, Iskandar or Cleopatra if she did.

So, Nitocris doing her best to stay quiet and not draw too much attention to herself as they march onward. At least until some time later, when she whispers -- ]

U-Um, is it just me or does it seem like that humming is getting louder again...?

[virtyew]

(As they head deeper and deeper in the the forest, sometimes they take a turn instead of continuing straight and each time, the buzzing grows louder and louder. Eventually, the sound even starts to become the same, drowning out all other sounds in the wood.)

We're getting closer.

(So of course it's going to get louder! But he stops walking, holding up his hand to Nitocris... and the humming increases.)

Scratch that, we aren't the only ones!

(They're getting closer too! And sure enough, a swarm of hornets can be seen up ahead, charging.)
