Camp Reunion || Maxneil, Dadvid

Neil's Diary

1st June, 20XX

I just arrived at Camp Campbell, and it's my first day. It's been... hectic. 

The 'bell' on the wooden sign at the front is very faded so it just looks like 'Camp Camp', and according to Nikki (a girl I met today, I think we're friends now), that's kind of what it is. A camp camp. Full of everything. But that means it's not science camp.

I was counting on air conditioning, little to no social interaction and, well, science. What I wasn't counting on was stealing a bus, some kid flying from a fan and nearly crashing said bus. I gotta admit that was kind of fun though, even though we got caught by a sheriff. 

So I made two new friends today, which I definitely wasn't expecting. There's this one guy, Max. He seems to be pretty chaotic to be around and has a grudge against our councillor, David. He also swears a lot. My mom would kill me if she heard me swear that much, even how I spoke to David today.

David seems unsettlingly cheerful while Gwen, the co-councillor, is kind of depressing. She had a panic attack today, but I don't blame her.

I have Nikki, too, but she's really wild. By wild, I mean rabid. I don't really want to touch her because she has mud all over her red overalls but she's nice. She also has scratches everywhere and a band-aid on her cheek but I guess that's from her adventuring, which is what she signed up for. I don't really know what Max signed up for.

There was also this guy, Cameron Campbell, which is where the name comes from. He's apparently the founder of this place but he seems fishy. Especially when some men in black guys pulled up in a black car and started shooting. He used a camper, Space Kid (the one on the ceiling fan), as a shield and flew off in a helicopter. 

Anyways, I have to go. David is calling from our tents to eat something before we shower (I don't know what to expect for showers, so that's got me paranoid) and go to bed in our cots.

HOLY SHIT- Today was wild. I hope not every day is like this because damn, I kinda need a break from all.. this.

Max tried to kill David with a rock with 'fuck the police' painted on it in Tipp-ex and launched from some Rube-Goldberg machine (masterfully built if I do say so myself) but it hit the hamster that David was holding instead. It went flying over onto some island. 

This meant that we lost our camp mascot and today's activity was to find a new one. Max went with Quartermaster, the groundskeeper or something - basically, this one creepy old guy who drives the bus and stuff. I don't know why he did that and how they did but they came back with a bunch of squirrels carrying QM (Quartermaster) on a throne. I don't really want to know.

I went with Nikki deep into the forest and ended up being chased onto the dock area by a platypus. The platypus ended up eating the hamster (which only just managed to make it anyways) so I guess that thing is our mascot now. I still kind of traumatized and I don't really wanna go back in there.

Our iconic trio tried to escape again via boat but our rower turned out to be from the Wood Scouts, an enemy camp from across the lake. His name was Snake, I think. He knocked Max on the head with a candy cane and we got thrown into the water. 

Nikki and I woke up on the banks of some area. She recognised it as the Flower Scouts camp, yet another rivalling camp. I had to act as a girl called Neeancy to fit in but it was kinda fun doing their activities. There's these main girls called Eren, a girl with blue hair; Sasha, the main one (and a total bitch) and Tabbii, or Tabii, I don't know. She only said it was two i's. I still feel kind of gross because I had seaweed on my hair to be a girl but I washed it out.
