Welcome to Gaia! ::

"? No, I didn't see anyone..." Bryant spoke, not having paid attention to the door at all. At mention of someone leaving, the young man craned his head towards the door but it had already closed and Toki had already escaped into the camp.

Once out of the cafeteria, Taki stood there for a moment, looking around as he tried to decide where he wanted to look for his brother first. It was likely that the older boy was not in one of the girls' cabins but then again, he didn't know which were the girls' cabins and which cabins belonged to the boys. There were also the woods nearby and the lake that wasn't too far. No matter the possibilities that were in his mind, the only logical location would be one of the boys' cabins.

"Ah, we're just going to chill in our cabins awhile. Girls ages 5-7 go to the Strawberry Cabin, where you'll be staying, girls 8-10 go to Peach Cabin with Nadia, and girls 11-13 are in the Grape Cabin with Brittany. Boys side 5-7 are in the Pine Cabin and I'll be watching them, 8-10 are in Birch Cabin with Garrett, and 11-13 are in the Oak Cabin are with the new guy," the male spoke, having gotten used to the routine, "We should be there for an hour or so before moving to the next activity." Despite sounding as though it were nothing big, one couldn't help but notice that Bryant refused to say Zach's name too often.

To Taki's dismay, he had found the girls' cabins on his first attempt and had to move across the entire camp in order to get to the boys' cabins. After searching the cabins, however, it appeared as though his attempts had been in vain. The boy-- a frown on his face-- sat on the steps leading into the Oak Cabin, thinking intently as to where his brother could have gone off to. It wasn't like Zach to actually want to do anything in the outdoors so having such a hard time puzzled the boy.

Bryant smiled at Brittany as he always did. "It's always fun when you know most of the kids, isn't it?" he spoke pleasantly, "It's too bad that the leader for the Oak cabin keeps changing."

Taki had eventually gone back to walking around, looking for his older brother. As he had thought, Zach wasn't to be found near the lake or in the woods; instead, the teen was found lying on the bed in the nurse's building, a hand held over his abdomen.
"... Zach..." the boy started as soon as he had found the other, causing his brother to jerk his head towards the voice, "What're you doing over here?"
"What? Do I need to explain myself to you?" the other male started, sounding annoyed. Zach quickly laid his head back down onto the bed, glaring up at the ceiling.
"I suppose not... I was just curious is all..."
"Well stop that! It's your fault that I even have to be at this gay a** camp! This s**t is ******** stupid!"
"... I'm sorry... I failed to see mother forcing you to accompany me on this recreation..." For Taki, his bad-mouthed brother was talking to him normally-- though it seemed to be anything but normal.
"What the ******** is wrong with you? Mom should've known you'd've been alright on your own. Go get eaten by a ********' bear or something?" the older boy grouched, finally sitting up and looking at his younger brother. To hell if he cared about the smaller boy. All that ever happened was he would be compared to him anyway.

"Well I'll stick around to make sure he doesn't traumatize the kids in Oak and Grape from time to time. It won't be so bad then, right?" Bryant suggested to the younger girl. He had already been planning on doing so-- especially after he had to take the other male outside of the building to talk to him.

"Okay everyone! It's about time to get your bags and put them in the cabins! Everyone line up with your leader and then we can go get your bags!" Garrett's mother announced aloud. She had long since finished her lunch and had probably given everyone a little too much time to finish eating, but it seemed that it was finally time for everyone to line up. "Everyone should have been told which cabin they belong to when they signed up! Oak Cabin line up with Zach, Birch Cabin with Garrett, Pine Cabin with Bryant, Strawberry Cabin with Chloe, Peach Cabin with Nadia, and Grape Cabin with Brittany! Anyone who doesn't know which cabin they belong with, please come to me or one of the counselors!" It was so like Ms. Parkinson to not make a head count of the counselors first before making the announcement, but she was sure to find out soon enough.

"Taki? Who's Taki?" the male started, a small frown appearing on his face, "I'll go look for him if you can give me a description."

"Ah! Oh dear... Do you know where they might be?" the woman asked her son in a tone that was practically asking him to go find the two.

"Alright, I'll try to find him... and the new guy if he's near by," the male spoke, moving towards the door to go find the child. It couldn't be too hard, right? After all, he was just a little kid that went out to find his brother; he had to still be around camp.

"Oh thank you sweetie!" the woman spoke, giving her son a bear hug.

Nadia had wanted away from that lake when she had left the group, but that made it extremely difficult for those who would want to find her. The girl had actually left camp a ways-- having run off into the woods a ways before she had even considered stopping.
Soon after having stopped, she produced an athleticism that most wouldn't think a game-addicted girl could do: she climbed up the trunk of a pine tree until she got to the first branch that could support her weight. That branch wasn't easy for most to get to, being at least a good 10 feet off the ground, and though Nadia had made it, there were red marks on her arms where the bark had scraped her as well as dried sap on her pants. Her current position would be hard to find until her game system threatened to shut down on her hours later. Unless someone was looking extremely hard and upwards, they would be hard pressed to find the two dangling legs that were hanging on either side of a branch from some random pine tree.

Byrant ran through camp, looking around for at least the youngest of the Papadupalo brothers. It couldn't have been too hard but still, when he had made it to the nurse's office, the college student was out of breath.
"H-Hey!" he started once he had spotted the two brothers, "Y-You need to... go back to the cafeteria and... get ready to go to... the cabins."

"Ah, yes sir," the small boy nodded, looking over at Bryant. Though he still kept some respect, there was a sense of estrangement from the older boy. Taki knew that it was likely Bryant's fault that his brother had kept out of the cafeteria.

"Whatever. Let's go Taki," Zach spoke, jumping up and getting off of the bed. He didn't give much of a readable reaction, only doing as he was told for the moment..
