action | June 11 morning

[leftmytower]

[ Rapunzel was wandering around the camp, having finally found the area with the lodgings after being dropped off by the Airport Shuttle. She was late, of course, but the tiny, local Pennsylvania airport only made flights out this way twice a week, and Rapunzel got horribly lost while on a layover in Houston and missed that flight, so it was really just a mess. But she was finally here!

She made a little yelp and stopped when her hair got caught on a particularly large stick. ]

I need one of those elastic hair things. Wish I'd thought of that before I came.

[ She chewed her bottom lip. That would have to be fixed later, right now she needed to set her bags down and get Pascal settled. He was not enjoying all of the moving around. Her nose was nearly touching her map of the camp she'd been mailed. It was positioned awkwardly on the aquarium, since Pascal took two hands to carry. ]

Pascal, you are so heavy! Gosh, there should be a picture of a turtle or something, all these cabins look the same... Where is mine?

*Longest hair in the camp, meet the SECOND longest hair in the camp.*

Iiiii detect a late arrival! Hooray! Hi, I'm Tsuruya, a junior counselor for Levitation! Needs help?

[leftmytower]

[ Rapunzel stiffened, thinking she might in trouble. Great! Tsuruya didn't seem mad though? But then again, maybe she was just trying not to act like it? She tried to play it safe and be apologietic, since she wasn't sure. ]

I'm sorry I'm late! I just got a late flight and then missed it too-- Oh, right, I'm Rapunzel! Nice to meet you Ts- Tsuruya! [ She tripped a little on the name, trying to pronounce it correctly through her nerves. ]

I just can't find my cabin, I guess you might though! I'm in the- the Something Turtles.

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

Oh, the Invulnerable Turtles! Right right! I'll get you there, megas quick! Hey, mind if I call you Rappi-chi? I gots to ask this sorta thing, some gals get real upset about that sorta thing!

*She leads the way chipperly.*

[leftmytower]

Um, no, that's fine! I've never had a nickname before! Thank you so much, by the way. I don't want to miss any more of camp so the quicker I can get settled the better!

[ Rapunzel followed along happily, walking steadily to keep Pascal from being jostled. ]

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

Rappi-Chi it is! You're gonna have a real blast here, lemme tell you! And you're gonna learn so much about how to control yer powers, and all sortsa stuff! I hope you're looking forward to it as much as I am!

[leftmytower]

Oh, I'm really excited, definitely! I can't wait to learn more about my shields and the other cool stuff!

[ She looked like her grin was going to split she smiled so much. ]

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

That's the spirit! We can probably still get you shaped up on the basics! We'll have t' ask Coach Oleander fer a favor, but I'm sure he won't mind!

*Really, the more opportunities he can get to act like some sort of platoon leader, the better.*

[leftmytower]

Who is that? One of the instructors I guess?

[life_is_megas_wonderful]

Yep! He's the guy that does the Basic Braining! He's a character, all right. Too bad you missed his traditionals opening speech!

*...is that really a BAD thing?*
