SENIOR MONTHLY BONDING



SENIOR MONTHLY BONDING

Monthly bonding is, as always, greeted with mixed enthusiasm. All the seniors will be taking boats out to Lone Wolf Island for a day hike, led by Mrs. O'Hare. There are storm clouds looming, but Mrs. O'Hare is certain that it's not going to be a big deal, and no gosh darn storm's going to keep her grounded!

Everything starts out normal enough, but unfortunately, Mrs. O'Hare's optimism has reached a little too far this time. An intense storm sets in, and the waters are too choppy for the students to return to the mainland. Mrs. O'Hare guides the students through the rain to a neglected old cabin.

"There used to be a mining camp around these parts!" she shouts over the rain. "This guy here's about all that's left. C'mon in, kids!"

Inside is musty, spidery and there's an angry raccoon that needs to be evacuated, but it'll do the trick. With the storm not letting up, it looks as though the seniors will be spending one very miserable night in this cabin with a dinner of granola bars, bananas and oranges. It's a tight fit in there, so everyone get to know your neighbors. Now this is what Mrs. O'Hare calls bonding!

THE HIKE: The earlier part of the day is a nice low impact hike around the island.

THE STORM: The rain hits hard, and everyone follows Mrs. O'Hare, who has an idea!

THE CABIN: There's a small cabin from the late 1800's out here on the island. Everyone crams inside and stays warm with heating charms and snugglepiles.

THE NIGHT: The seniors have to stay overnight. They manage to conjure up basic blankets and pillows, and warming charms are used liberally.

A NOISE: It's about 3:00 AM, when something slams into the side of the cabin, right by Robin Youngblood's snugglepile. WHAT WAS THAT?!?! [Character Y] screams as they see a man outside!! HE'S SCRAPING AROUND THE CABIN, HE'S TRYING TO GET IN, YOU'RE ALL GOING TO DIE. (After ten minutes of panic and shrieking teenagers, it's revealed to be a curious bear.)

THE MORNING: Everyone returns to Gooseberry, cranky but not much worse for wear.

Mufferaw advised that Rafael not go on the hike. But at the mere insinuation that he couldn't handle it, Rafael objected and has been fighting tooth and nail to be allowed to go.

It paid off, and here he is, DETERMINED TO HAVE FUN. He doesn't even like hikes that much. In retrospect, insisting on going was a rash decision, but he's married to it now. He claims he's very happy to be here. This is going to be so fun. Monthly bonding is very important.

He's in a "good" mood, but there's an extra edge to him today, like he's in a competition with Mufferaw to prove a) he's healthy enough, and b) HE TOTALLY ENJOYS HIKES DON'T TELL HIM WHAT HE DOES OR DOES NOT ENJOY.

Wes probably recognizes what might be going on but doesn't say anything, though just so happens to be looking his way like this quite often.

Rafael doesn't elaborate on the situation, but doesn't argue with Wes' looks either. When he's not badly summarizing LARP he'll walk with Wes, and they can be silently uncomfortable together. Rafael's definitely concerned about Wes, but won't bring it up if he gets the impression that this is something Wes would rather not have a conversation about.

Nope, Wes isn't bringing any of it up. If Raf tries to walk too fast or take a steep incline quicker he'll pipe up with a "hey, easy now", but that's about the extent of it.

Nope #2) talking about feelings is for Azurcrest (sorry monthly bonding's expectations), Wes is fine not talking about hikes and woods and foreboding stormclouds.

Sun-mi is glad that Wes is looking out for Rafael, since that is way too complicated territory for her to get into with him.

She does not invade their manly silent Coppertale boy bonding time.

RAFAEL IS SO DIFFICULT. Ravi is obviously concerned by that I AM SO HAVING FUN attitude, but he knows Rafael will not appreciate his fussing. During a lull in the hike, he'll worry at Sun-mi instead. 8(

RAFAEL CAN PRACTICALLY FEEL YOU TWO WORRYING ABOUT HIM.

KNOCK IT OFF.

Sun-mi is definitely indulging in worrying about Rafael to Ravi. She probably does this a lot because encouraging terrible decisions does not extend to Rafael hurting himself, but she's also terrified of what it would do to their friendship if Rafael felt like she was rubbing his injury in his face. SO, she leaves the actual expressions of concern to other people because OBVIOUSLY she knows that Rafael is just fine and can take care of himself.

But until Rafael catches her, she will worry in all sorts of hushed tones to Ravi.

He may check on Raf's leg later, but his mode of operation is "keep it cute or put it on mute" around people, so stoic manliness it is.

They have an excellent silent agreement to not talk about anything that's bothering them. Things are getting super manly here.

Wes' periodic comments are good reminders, even though Raf always responds with some dismissive variation of "It's fine."

Can they walk'n'banter? Leo would.

Yes absolutely, lots of walk'n'banter. Rafael's teasing Leo about the results of his race(s), regardless of whether or not he won.

Yessss. This will be super amusing to him, and he will brag hopelessly in response no matter if he won or lost. Because he totally would've won, but he slipped on those leaves a little

Yeah, Rafael saw that. Those leaves jumped right out in front of Leo. At least you got an excellent hat and a carrot out of it, though. "It is a good look, although you should have taken the nail polish. Ebonhide gold, right?"

He just pointed to the Azurcrest hat. "Wrong day for it. If it was bronze or whatever..."

Cricket knows better than to explicitly say anything about his knee, but if she catches him in a moment where he seems to be struggling, she'd sidle up and link arms with him and walk really slow complaining of sore feet.

Rafael is silently relieved for the excuse to take it easy. He smiles at her wryly, but gladly takes her arm.

Aaaand he's going to tease her. "You should see if Wes will rub them later."

While Cricket is normally game for gentle ribbing, she doesn't seem to like this teasing very much! She rolls her eyes and sighs a little, giving a one-shouldered shrug. She's quiet for a minute, before asking, "He doin' okay?"

Rafael quickly shifts gears from Teasing Friend to Concerned Friend. He knows he can't fix the ups and downs of whatever is going on between Cricket and Wes... but that doesn't stop him from wishing he could.

"Mostly, I think. Maybe this," he gestures to the ~nature~ surrounding them, "is too soon. Did something happen?"

"Didn't he tell you?" she seems surprised. Is she the only one who knows about Wes' demonic visitation? Well, before she blabbed about it to Maggie and Nate. Oh no. She's such a bad friend!

This is totally fine as long as he doesn't also try to get Tess into a good mood, because she has steadfastly decided that she refuses.

Rafael's "good mood" is fuelled by a need to be right. TESS, WE ARE GOING TO ENJOY THE FUCK OUT OF THIS HIKE.

"WE" HUH? Tess is steadfast in her resolve to be grumpy. Rafael. SHE REFUSES TO ENJOY HERSELF.

Isaiah is in the 'keeping an eye on Rafael' club but does not comment.
