Unexpected Vibes (OoO S1)

Hey, y'all! This is just a random, funny scenario I came up with. It's pretty short, but I hope you enjoy nonetheless. This takes place in my season 1 AU. So basically nobody died, and nobody is evil.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was a peaceful day in camp. Not much had been going on, and it was pretty quiet.

Kayla was just taking a stroll through camp, checking on things. when she heard something.

Now, she wasn't overly familiar with much human culture, but if she wasn't mistaken, was that.......heavy metal music?

Kayla: what the.....?

Curious, she followed the noise. Which led her to.........Inmo's cabin?

Deciding she wanted to know what exactly was going on, she knocked on the door. But there was no answer.

Assuming Inmo couldn't hear the knock over the music she decided to just open the door. And she was not prepared for what she was gonna see.

Sitting in various places in the cabin, was a group of seven people.

Some of these people she was aware knew eachother, but it seemd to be quiet a random group.

Laying on the bed, was Xylo. An arm over his eyes, seemingly taking a nap.

Sat right next to him, was Michael. Peacefully reading a book.

In the corner, seemingly using some thick hanging vines as a seat, was Bri. Who appeared to be drawing in a sketch book.

A few feet away from Bri, was Brandeen and Bryan. Both sat criss-cross on the floor, with Bryan painting Brandeen's nails.

And finally, sat on the floor just infront of the bed, was Inmo and Lilly. Playing cards.

Now mind you, the seven were all just relaxing in here. doing there own things, completely silent, with heavy metal music blasting from who knows where.

Kayla stared at the scene for a few seconds, a look of confused shock etched on her face. Before speaking, quite loudly so they could hear her over the music.

Kayla: what in the gods names is going on here!?

At the sound of her voice, the seven all turned to look at her. Xylo taking his arm off his eyes to do so.

Brandeen turned off a small speaker that was on the floor next to him, cutting off the music.

'Where did he even get a speaker, and how is it working in camp?' Kayla thought to herself.

Xylo was the first one to speak up, addressing her presence. Greeting her casually.

Xylo: hey.

Kayla: hi......uh. what exactly is going on here?.......

The seven were quiet for a moment, before Michael spoke up in an unsure voice.

Michael: uh......group bonding?

Kayla: uhuh, group bonding among seven people who don't really know eachother. While blasting heavy metal music?

She asked skeptically.

Brandeen: to be fair, we do know eachother. You just weren't aware that we did.

Bryan: true. We do this all the time.

Kayla sighed, still thoroughly confused, and spoke hesitantly.

Kayla: okay...but....why exactly?....

Bri spoke up, giving an answer.

Bri: well, it started off with me, Bryan, and Xylo. After everything that happened, the three of us decided it would be good to talk and sort it all out.

Kayla: okay......

Bri: then me and Bryan thought, "hey, Lilly's been through a lot. She could probably benefit from this as well." So we invited her. And then I remembered that Michael had some trauma as well, so I invited him.

Michael nodded in agreement, as Kayla still looked sort of confused.

Bri: Inmo stumbled across one of our meet ups and asked to join, because it seemd like a good way to relieve some stress. He started hosting the meetings at his cabin, because it was a more private space.

Kayla nodded in understanding, though she was still a bit confused.

Kayla: and Brandeen?........

Bri: well, with the more private area, we realized we could be louder. So we added some music into the mix. He heard it one day, and came to check it out. He's kinda just stuck around since for the vibes.

Now understanding the situation a bit more, Kayla found it kind of amusing.

Kayla: right, okay. And how often do you all do this?

Xylo: like, once a week?.....

Michael: or just whenever one of us goes through something bad and needs to talk about it.

The other five nod in agreement.

Kayla just looked the group over, and sighed.

Kayla: alright. Uh...have fun, I guess?

Lilly smiled at her, and nodded. While Inmo gave a thumbs up. The other five all voicing various agreements.

Kayla left, closing the door behind her. Once outside, she heard the music in the cabin turn back on again. She put a hand on her forehead, and mumbled to herself.

Kayla: don't question it Kay, just let them have fun. It's not the weirdest thing that's happened.

With that, she walked off. Keeping the new information to herself, and letting the unusual group have their fun.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And that's all for this one! I hope you enjoyed. This was really random, but I thought it was funny. A more proper oneshot should he coming out soon.

As always, have an amazing day and remember to keep being yourself.
