Camping! [Open]

[toguidethem]

WHO: Cody and his fellow campers
WHERE: In Alpha Trion's quadrant, a short distance from the lake
WHEN: Saturday - Monday
WHAT: Camping!
WARNINGS: Who knows

Camping time! Cody had been looking forward to this for quite some time. Sleeping bags? Check! First aid kit? Check! Enough energon to last his Cybertronian friends a couple nights? Check! So far so good, as far as Cody can tell. Their camp site is located between a bunch of rocky hills in Alpha Trion's quadrant, about two miles away from the lake. Cody had sent out the coordinates for the place so the campers can get to it.

He has all sorts of activities planned! The only thing he asks of his robot friends is that they don't fight with each other. You'd think this would be a given, but Cody just wants to make sure.

So come in and have fun!

Day 1

[toguidethem]

Arriving/Morning

[toguidethem]

Cody is setting up his sleeping bag and a tent for his fellow humans to change inside of. He doesn't see the need to sleep in one tonight, since he doubts bad weather is going to be that much of a problem.

[wrex_it_krogan]

Wrex didn't require anything other than a small sack lugged over his back...and his guns, of course. Never knew when they came in handy. The krogan seeks out Cody, giving a curt nod.

The kid had a weird sense of duty, reminded him a bit of Shepard's crew. He came to suspect that possibly all human kids were like this, at least from his experience.

"Don't tell me I'm early."

[toguidethem]

This was the first time Cody had met Wrex up close, so he was immediately awed by him. He didn't know what he was expecting, but what he got was pretty awesome. He wasn't about to say so, but he thought that Wrex looked a lot like a giant humanoid turtle. A giant humanoid turtle with battle scars.

"No, you're just on time! It's good to meet you Wrex." He smiled and walked over to him so he could offer him his hand. See? Look how grown up he is, shaking hands and all that.

[wrex_it_krogan]

You certainly are an adult...if adults came in mini size. The krogan extends his hand, grasping Cody's for a firm shake. That's how you humans do that, right?

"For once," scoffed Wrex, "Anyway, let's hope everyone else is ready as you are."

[toguidethem]

A firm shake that came dangerously close to crushing Cody's fingers. Somehow he manages to internalize his wince and smile instead.

"I think we're doing just fine!" Cody says enthusiastically, "I'm really glad you made it."

[dirge]

Dirge is there, squinting at the tiny tent and the even tinier sleeping bags. He's already picked up Cody's and slipped it over a talon, admiring it like a weird full-finger ring.

"What are these things for?" he asks, wondering if this is where Cody will be hiding the food. If that's the case, such a flimsy structure will be no match for Dirge tonight when everyone else is sleeping, muwahaha~

[toguidethem]

"That's my sleeping bag!" And he really, really, hoped that Dirge won't rip it, because he kind of needs that to, you know, sleep. "I'm not made of metal, so I need something soft to sleep on if I want to be comfy at night you see." He holds out a hand and quietly asks Dirge to give it back.

[dirge]

"So you put yourself in a bag to sleep?" Dirge shakes his head and laughs, trying to imagine a cybertronian squeezing themselves into a weird little sack.

Fortunately, he hasn't torn it and he's distracted enough by the silly idea to put it back down for Cody.

"What about this?" He's picking up the tent now though... ;;

So late

[sariexmachina]

Sari eventually shows up as well, her own scavenged blankets rolled up like a sleeping bag and attached to the bulky, overstuffed backpack slung over her shoulders. It was clearly only thanks to her scooter that she made it to the camping trip at all, given the obvious weight of the thing.

Sari parked it off to the side, looking around the assembled camp before waving in Cody's direction once she spotted him.

"Hey!"

[toguidethem]

Oh there she is. Cody waves back and beckons her closer. Wow, for some reason he expected her to be taller, he's not so sure why. "Hi! I'm really glad you could make it!" He points over near his own pile of stuff, "you can put those over there if you want."

When she comes back, he holds out a hand, "It's nice to meet you in person Sari!" See, look who has lots of manners.

[sariexmachina]

With some difficulty, Sari shuffles on over before dumping the backpack into the pile with a relieved sigh.

"Uh, yeah, sure!" The offered hand gets a frown, before Sari awkwardly accepts it for a quick shake.

What are manners?

/forever late

[dinnerdate]

It was entirely possible for Dead End to simply not go, entirely possible and likely wise considering he believed the trip to be something deadly. However he had been invited and who knew what kind of disastrous things would befall him if he didn't.

Either way, if he went or didn't, he was doomed. Soon to be nothing more than a pile of rust A corpse.

This wasn't going to be fun at all.

So it was likely no surprise that when he arrived his wings were down and he looked as nervous as a bot in a room full of scraplets. Camping was just another word for death, wasn't it.

Hiking

[toguidethem]

Time to go explore! Cody has his hiking boots and is ready to go and check out the surrounding area. Who wants to come along? He might decide to climb a rocky cliff or two, who knows.

[wherenobotsgone]

This is Skyfire's favorite part of camping. True, being so big means he needs to move slowly if he doesn't want to leave anyone behind, especially humans. But in this context, that's a good thing. He can stop to look around and take samples all he wants and no one will mind.

[toguidethem]

Cody is following close behind Skyfire, curious enough to simply stay quiet and watch the large Autobot work for a while. Eventually he decides to strike up a conversation, "What are these rocks called?" He asks, pointing at the surrounding hills. "They don't look like anything I'd find on earth."

[wherenobotsgone]

Skyfire nods in agreement.

"That's a very good observation," he replies. "Some of the minerals on Cybertron are very different from those on Earth."

He continues to explain a bit more, focusing on naming the ones he could recognize by sight, since that was been Cody's original question. But then again, he does tend to get a little overenthusiastic about this kind of things.

Capture The Flag

[toguidethem]

[Cody has to take time to explain this one.]

Okay! The concept of the game is really simple: Basically all you have to do is get the other person's flag. The team that brings the enemy flag to their side wins.

So here are the rules: I have two flags here and I'll be giving one to the captains of the blue and red teams to hide in their "territory". The flags have to be easy to see and get to though, or else it won't be fair.

You can defend your flag by tagging members of the opposing team when they cross the boarder, and they go to "jail". People can be freed from jail by being tagged by their teammates, but you both have to get back across your boarder before you're tagged again.

One more thing: There will be NO weapons or violence in the game, or else you'll be disqualified. Also no alt-modes, everyone has to do this in their robot forms. Prowl and I are going to be refereeing the game.

Any questions?

(OOC: Reply here if you want to join! Cody will divide everyone up into teams.)

[fun_police]

[Hello players. Have the friendliest looking referee in all of Cybertro - HAHA who are we kidding.]

[Prowl will be waiting for someone to mess up. The fact that he's monitoring a game and not working also leaves him in a rather foul mood.]

[Still, he'll be fair. Just don't break any rules ( ◕ ‿ ◕ ✿)]
