GOODBYE

[There's definitely something off about the barrier.

In fact, there's something off about... everything.

Buildings seem out of focus. The ocean is perfectly still, and the water in the river is frozen in place.

Any red or green bracelets suddenly flicker, then disappear completely.

The loudspeaker crackles to life, this time not with a live voice, but a slightly distorted recording. The woman sounds like she might be reading off a script.]

Good evening, children.

If you are hearing this message, I offer you my congratulations. You have managed to survive your stay here despite all odds and obstacles thrown at you throughout your tenancy. Your resolve is to be applauded.

Let us cut to the chase.

You are no longer bound here. In a few hours, there won't even be a "here" to be bound to. I suggest you start gathering your belongings and saying your goodbyes immediately.

Failure to vacate the premises in a timely manner will not be tolerated. Consider this your immediate eviction notice. Begone and farewell.

[After a few long seconds of static, the loudspeaker switches off for the last time.

The barrier, once pearlescent and hot to the touch, seems soft and threadbare—more like a child's makeshift blanket fort than an impenetrable dome.

Along the edge are hundreds upon hundreds of faint archways, the shifting scenes on the other side vague and almost unrecognizable. For every universe, timeline, or country anyone who has ever set foot in Camp Fuck You Die has hailed from, there's a gateway meant to take them back.

You know which one is yours. You can't explain it, but you know somewhere deep down. You don't have to go home, but you have to go somewhere. And once you do, there's no coming back.

This is the end.]

[There's something odd about the sky tonight. It's almost like it's sagging a little, making the stars seem closer than they should be.

Then again, that's probably not at the tippy-top of anyone's priority list right now. But hey! Suddenly winding up in someone's bed is a great way to make new friends! Probably!]

[Nine years, nine months, twenty-six days. Isn't it about time someone DOES HER DAMN JOB?

There's only a few days left to resolve all those pesky emotional issues and character arcs. Who better to help with that than the resident Camp Psychiatrist? Better hurry before she picks the locks chaining her to the booth and escapes her responsibilities for another almost-decade. ]

This. Sucks.

[Two of those nice plush armchairs have been dragged outside one of the cabins and are currently holding two awful good for nothing boys: one 1990's punk and one 1490's jerk. What's 500 years when it comes to a trainwreck of a friendship? They've pulled a table between the chairs and are taking full advantage of the weather for some day drinking and cards, not bothering to keep their voices down as they banter with one another and gossip about any unfortunate passersby.]

Bullshit, you're hiding a card up your sleeve.

[What are you up to today, Camp?]

((Mingle!))

Hey there, all you newbies and renewbies! Who wants to play a game?

You know all those silly get-to-know-me games that summer camps have? We're gonna do the simplified version. I call it... "A Bribe." See, I have a basket of delicious muffins here. Tell us your name and a little something interesting about yourself, and you can have one. And maybe make a new or old friend at the same time.

I'll even get us started. My name's Ruby, though some of my friends call me Red, and, hmm... Ah! I once met a time-traveler who went by the name Princess Leia.

How about you?

[The tent from the other day is still there, but the tables have been rearranged into one long counter labeled CAMP STARTER PACKS. What's inside is identical, but there are more than a few styles to choose from.

Items include: A pick-axe! A towel! A laptop! A small water gun! Some loose fingernail clippings! An entire book of crossword puzzles! Three pieces of mint gum! Chapstick! Two paperclips! And, last but not least, a can of sliced pineapple. No can opener, though. What a bummer.

Still, though! Perks, amirite?]

[The sun is shining, the flowers are in bloom, and there's hardly a gorilla in sight! The resident giant squid, Marcy, is doing laps out in the ocean, but she seems to be keeping her distance from the beach. All in all, the afternoon is off to a pretty good start.

But. Just like the new lodge that appeared yesterday, there's now a huge tent in the center of Camp. It's a little ratty here and there—almost like it's been in storage for years, if the smell of mothballs is anything to go by. The tables underneath it are stocked with finger foods, drinks, and even a stack of name tag stickers and markers.

Really, though, there's not too much time to worry about the logistics of it all. There's a loud POP and suddenly Camp is much, much more crowded than it was a few seconds ago.

The loudspeaker crackles to life, volume cranked up to rise over all the voices.]

Welcome, welcome back, and welcome home, everybody! We're pleased as punch to have you, I tell you what. And don't you worry about gettin' whisked back to wherever-the-heck ya came from! We’ve been workin' real hard to make sure y'all can stick around this time. Plenty of beds and cabins, so go ahead and get settled right in!

Make sure you head on down to the beach to say hello to our sweet ol' Marcy. Tradition and all! Between you and me, I think she's as ready to mingle as y’all are. ☆


(( Please read the FOURTH WALL GUIDELINES and CAMP SETTING information before commenting! A lot has changed. o7 We mods'll be doing regular mingle posts, but currently apped-in characters can make their own at will! If you have questions, you can comment on guidelines post or email us at cfudmods [at] gmail.com. Have fun, guys!! ))

[Camp is looking sharp today! Maybe it's the mowed grass, or the well-trimmed sheep, or the fresh coat of paint inside the Mess Hall. The cabins are looking their best in and out, too. Some of them are even sporting cutesy, hand-painted ♥ BEDS AVAILABLE ♥ signs.

Or maybe—just maybe!—it's the brand new lodge now settled between two cabins as naturally as if it'd been there since the reconstruction. The front door is unlocked for anyone who wants to explore. It seems bigger on the inside, somehow, with a cozy lounge area, fireplace, kitchen, and rooms upon rooms upon rooms of bunk beds.

The loudspeaker, with its own new coat of bright red paint, is oddly quiet.]

(( This is the last post we'll be making before the fourth wall event kicks off tomorrow. Stay tuned! ))

[... And just like that, the lights shudder back on. There's a loud, electronic buzz, and for a few minutes the translator seems completely out of whack, switching between broken and half-fixed and whatever the verbal equivalent of Webdings is.

After another buzz, it goes back to normal.

Except everything--the ocean, the grass, your own hands--is in black and white.

Another buzz and it's back to color.

It pours for 30 seconds.

A rainbow rises out of the ocean, then disappears.

Finally, the loudspeaker crackles on.]

Oh, gosh! Got a little excited there! Thanks for bein' such good sports! I'll just leave y'all with one of my favorites. Remember what my great great uncle used to say: "Secrets and lies kill!"

[There's a flash of rainbow again, and then Camp is left with a clear night sky, fresh brewed coffee in the Mess Hall, a fancy hotel mint on every pillow, and a few hours of truth effect.]

[The lights still haven't come back on.

During daylight hours it's not so bad, but once the sun sets, all that's left is a sliver of moon, the stars, and the Mess Hall.

There's a faint, steady hum from beyond the barrier. Other than that, things are quiet.

Calm.

Dark.]

... There we are! Apologies all around for the mix-up. Haha, you know how it is! The save points should be good as new. Go give 'em a whirl! Now, you might still feel a little tuckered, but after a nice nap you'll be fighting fit and ready to go. And I'd do it quick if I were you! If y'all have any questions, I'll be right—

[Once again, the broadcast has been cut short, this time because camp has gone dark. The cameras seem to be working just fine, and the mess hall is as bright as ever, but the rest of camp is in total blackout.

But at least he wasn't lying about the save points. They're back to being plain ol' draining, no more teleportation antics involved. Hooray!]

[ What better way to enjoy springtime than flowers blooming all throughout camp? But you didn't think it'd be that simple, did you?

These flowers bring something special for everyone who touches them, intentionally or otherwise. What fun surprises to be had!

Silver = Age up
Green = Age down
Red = Only speak the truth
Yellow = You are now the proud owner of superpowers
Blue = Talk in rhymes
Brown = Turn into an animal of your choice
Magenta = Turn invisible

Bonus, if you touch any of the multi-colored flowers at the same time as anyone else, you may swap bodies, share a memory, or have an emotional link to them. It's a surprise.

Feel free to stack them as you please. If you would like any other status changes, let your imagination run wild! ]

[So about that castle! Something strange has been happening for the past few hours. At first, the way the turrets would sometimes flicker seemed like a trick of the light.

But now that the sun has shifted, it's clear that the castle itself seems to be fading away. In fact, with every light flipped on as night rolls in, the castle becomes less defined.

Maybe, just maybe, the doors are still solid enough to be pushed open.]

[HEY EVERYBODY IT'S PI DAY!! LET'S HAVE SOME PIE!!! THERE IS JUST SO GOSH-DARNED MUCH OF IT IN EVERY FLAVOR IN THE MESS HALL!!!!! YOU'LL NEVER WANT TO SEE A PIE AGAIN IN YOUR LIFE AFTER TODAY!!!!!!!!!]

Oh my gods, you guys. You have to try the salted caramel. It's like heaven, if heaven had a graham cracker crust.

[It's another beautiful spring day in good ol' CFUD. An anachronistic stone castle—picturesque, even if it's out of place—sits on top of the steep hill rising up behind the forest where the rounded black barrier used to be. There's a strange, low hum in the background, but the camp fauna doesn't seem to mind, so hey. Not panic worthy, probably!

Over in the center of Camp, there's a box sitting in front of the loudspeaker poll with a sign: NEW BANS? SUBMIT REQUESTS AND SUGGESTIONS HERE!

Pencil and paper provided, of course! Let your voice be heard, citizens.]

[The power is flickering again. There's no brewing storm, not a cloud in the sky, but there's something strangely static in the air. There's a buzz, growing louder and louder and louder until finally--abruptly--it stops. The lights flip back on, and even the sunset seems a little brighter.

The only change is that beyond the forest, the black dome on the top of the hill has disappeared.

The castle is back, totally unguarded for the first time in almost a year. The front doors, while heavy and foreboding, are unlocked.

What are you waiting for?]

[ There are two tinies out tonight. One of them is wandering around camp opening doors and being very nosy. The other is following behind and trying to stop her. ]

Miss, please! We're going to get in trouble if we keep barging in on people!

[ It's not very effective... ]

[It's a beautiful afternoon! The sun is shining, rabbits are a-hopping, electric sheep are a-buzzing, and two terrible, terrible boys have claimed the pool for today. But they're not there to swim. If the almost matching sets of sweatpants and old t-shirts weren't enough, the bows and arrows, punctured floaties, and pile of potentially flammable objects probably give it away. Just a little!

If you stop to watch—I mean, they are flaming arrows, and they're being pretty annoying—it's a good show. They're taking turns aiming at the pool from further and further away, setting new targets out to sea once the old ones are satisfyingly burnt. Terrible boy #1 has very, very good aim, and he knows it. Terrible boy #2 is much more hit or miss (mostly miss, and probably not just because of all the random bandages on his hands and arms), but at least his swearing is entertaining.]

—Nice! Alright, I'm callin' it. We're doing the watermelon next.

[Hey! Have you ever died before?! Let's hope so! Because that means today is all about you!!

Whether or not the whole thing actually stuck, if you ever kicked the bucket, you've now got a small pack of zombies lead by this pretty little dead thing, knocking on your door/window/self to deliver unto you a single red rose, a small wrapped box containing a cheeky gift somehow related to how you died, and a card with your name on it that reads,

"Sorry we missed your big day.
Hope to be there for your next one!

Happy (Belated) Deathday,
Camp"

I think this is for you.
