Camp Kyojin: Dawn Of The Dorks

SIX: Freckled Jesus Or Freckled Satan

The days weave together and just make one blurred sequence of moments. We know Ackerman is up for a huge prank this year, his cult isn't doing anything in response to the petty pranks we've been instigating for a warm up. This year is going to be a heavy one for pranking, we've already mirrored that Parent Trap scene and sent Isabelle Magnolia adrift in the middle of the lake. I response, Ackerman had Zoey and Isabelle cover our bathroom in ketchup, too bad they aren't malicious beings, so instead of making it look disgusting, they just put ketchup EVERYWHERE! But even then, that prank is very mediocre for them. I wonder what they're concocting behind the scenes. Eren, the green eyed hipster is scheming with Armin about a very risky prank that they're calling 'Indie Gee-gulf niner niner', I don't know why, it sounds like something from a pilot's manual, just encase Ackerman pushes it. Not that it will win, that's certain, Ackerman doesn't lose. There's nothing we could do to defeat the older Ackerman.

I slept in today, I was too tired after having to scrub our bathroom from top to bottom to remove all of the ketchup, it wasn't pleasant, and I had to waste a whole bottle of cherry spray to overpower the sweet tomato stench. I hate how the bathroom smells, it's like a cherry and tomato smoothie. It reeks in here. I think I need to hose the bathroom down with a bottle of bleach.

My nose is being plagued by the distinct odour of tomato ketchup, it's going to take a while to recover from this, I need a high dosage of smells to recover from this blow.

Connie had slept in too. He's sleepy and traumatised by the smell of Heinz, just like me. We've had to suffer when having our morning showers, plugging our noses with clothes pegs so we can avoid inhaling the tomato. We've been aching to smell something pleasant, like the camp speciality foods, such as our breakfast delicacy.

We drag our heavy feet to the breakfast hall, dressed in slobby clothes and still half asleep. We're guided by our ravenousness. My stomach is growling like a ferocious territorial beast.

Everybody is sat in their usual places, everybody is acting strangely, that is, except Ackerman's cult. They all seem to be blasé, Ackerman is sipping his coffee. And they are uncharacteristically nibbling on toast, instead of scarfing pancakes. What's up with them?

What's up with everybody else? Why are they all doing weird things? Why is Mina Carolina scratching at her tongue with her false acrylic nails? Why is Reiner using a fork to itch his mouth while Annie squeezes a lemon in hers? Why is Armin wailing as he drags his teeth over his tongue? Why is Mikasa digging her nails into her arms as she pants, tongue out like a dog? What's wrong? Why is Eren glaring at Ackerman as he claws at his own tongue? What's been happening? Why is Krista crying as Marco shakes his head sadly, being held up by his shirt thanks to Ymir?

"What is going on here?" Connie hollers.

"I didn't mean it! I didn't know what they were going to do." Marco wails, legs flailing.

"That doesn't matter! Look what you did to Krista! Look what you did!"

"I didn't do it! I didn't! It wasn't me! I didn't know!"

"Don't lie to me Bodt!"

"OI!" Isabelle shouts, jumping up from her seat and barrelling into the dark haired girl with the freckled face, knocking both Ymir and Marco to the ground. "IT WASN'T MARCO!"

"Excuse me!" A familiar sinisterly sweet voice chimes from the doorway, boots colliding with the wooden floor.

"Alice!" Farlan Church gets to his feet, awestruck.

"Let my brother go, or I WILL smash your face in."

Ymir yelps, releasing Marco. The boy with a freckled face scrambles away from her, crawling on his hands and knees right toward Isabelle. She escaped too, she's fled from Alice's wrath too. Alice Bodt is beyond scary.

Alice Bodt is beyond intimidating, just seeing her glare strikes fear into the very core of any logical person. She's a dear friend to Levi Ackerman's cult, and shares their mutually hot temperament. Alice was the first of the Bodt family to be sent here, and she's one for fighting. Levi or Farlan could take her in a fistfight but Isabelle or the twins wouldn't get a hit in until a month of Sundays.

"Now would someone please tell me what the hell happened here?" She bats her thick lashes at one Reiner Braun, who is still in the councillor's bad books, the lake has been out of action for water sports since he threw in that last bath bomb.

Reiner gulps, tugging at the collar of his shirt and smiles uneasily, "The prank war, dear Alice, is at its climax."

"Already? No fun." Alice pouts, folding her arms, blowing a strand of bleached blonde hair out of her face.

"What did you DO!" Connie demands.

Hange and Zoey snigger, swishing two zip lock sachets in sync. They didn't.

"Itching powder, Levi? Isn't that a tad cliché on your part?"

"Perhaps?" He smirks.

"When Levi smiles a puppy dies." I mutter.

"Oi! Connie! Get over here! ARGGHHH" Eren shouts before raking at his taste buds. They'll be raw for days.

"What did you tell them, Marco." I ask after helping both Isabelle and Marco to their feet.

"That Eren and his friends like the pancakes best..." Marco mutters, brushing himself down.

"Ice and vinegar work well for itches. I'll get to the kitchen!" The cook, Petra exclaims, skittering toward the kitchen. Several bangs and crashes imply that she's frantically plugging in the blitz freezer so she can tend to the sore tongues.

"What's the bet that she's going to freeze the vinegar?" Armin asks, delving into his bag and producing a 'Juicy Drop Pop', a sugary delight with a gel like juice for the lolly. He hands another lolly to Eren and a third to Mikasa. They mirror Armin's action of using the juice as a coating to keep their tongues from itching.

"Its like fruity bongella!" Eren exclaims, dumbstruck.

"Let's go." Mikasa drags Eren from his chair by the ear, Armin is at their heels. The blond genius seizes my arm and Connie follows me out.

They lead us to their room, its camp policy that you cant enter another's room without invitation, not that Ackerman's cult is that courteous.

Eren climbs onto the top bunk, setting his snapback on the bedpost, "I say we do it Armin, we now have a way. Alice is clearly out for blood, she would do it!"

"Eren's got a point, this prank you were muttering about it is clearly ideal for revenge. Especially after they ketchup-ed Sasha's bathroom."

"I have no idea what you're proposing but there's no way I'm missing out on some sweet sweet revenge." Connie declares, pumping his fist and smacking it on the bottom of Eren's bunk.

"Okay, so mission 'Indie Gee-gulf niner niner' is a GO!"
