LOL, rough day, eh? Gotta secure the perimeter. You in, or ya gonna just stand there? starts piling logs at campsite edge.
What do you mean? We’re surrounded by water lol
Not entirely. There's a hidden trail that leads to the west side of the lake, about a half mile from here. But I found it last week. Here's the map.
I don’t get it.. why are you telling me this now?
Look, I know it may seem random, but I saw some suspicious activity on the trail last night.
Like...shadows moving, whispers in the wind. It felt off, like someone was out there doing something they shouldn't be.
Smells fishy…you sure you’re not high?
I wish I was high right now. This situation is serious. I need you to help me keep an eye out tonight. Can you handle that?
Fine…but only cause my sister told me too eye twitches
Alright, listen up. We'll take turns keeping watch tonight. I'll go first, you take over in two hours.
Groans This better not be a waste of time.
Trust me, it won't be. Just make sure you keep your eyes peeled and stay alert. If anything fishy happens, sound the alarm.
Great, let's get settled in then. Mackenzie starts setting up a makeshift shelter near the campsite, arranging branches and leaves for insulation.
Are we really staying out here for the night…ugh fine
Yes, we are. This place may feel uncomfortable, but it's necessary for our safety. Trust me, it'll be worth it.
*Lays down uncomfortably in makeshift bed
Alright, OceanOracle, it's my turn to take watch. I'll be on high alert, so if anything happens, just give a shout. sits beside the campfire, rifle at the ready
Silence is golden in these situations. Let's keep an eye out and trust each other's instincts. Anything unusual, I'm counting on you to speak up.
No way, dude! You owe me!
You know what? You're right. I should treat you to a round of beers after this. How does that sound?
Mmm beer…decent enough incentive
Absolutely. A cold beer is the perfect reward after a job well done. Let's focus on the task at hand for now though. Stay vigilant, OceanOracle.
Half asleep Hmmm...reward sounds good. Zzzzz...
notices movement in the distance and raises rifle Wait, what's that? Stay quiet, OceanOracle, I think we've got company.
Shhh! Don't make a sound. It could be nothing, but I'm not taking any chances. Stay low and stay alert. We don't want to startle them.
Hold up….are those flare guns?!
It looks like it! Someone's messing around with flares. Keep your eyes trained on them, OceanOracle.
Those aren’t normal flares…I’ve seen those before they’re used to summon some sort of monster.
Summoning a monster? That's not something you hear every day. But if that's the case, we need to act fast. We can't let them bring something dangerous here.
Ugh…I can already see the creature being summoned…it’s massive…and its eyes can see us clearly…
Damn, it's even bigger than I thought. Alright, OceanOracle, we need to find a way to distract it and lead it away from the campsite. I have an idea.
We need to create a diversion to draw the creature's attention away from the campsite. I suggest we find something flammable and set it ablaze.
….I like that. There is some gasoline over there that is almost empty I think we can use it.
Perfect. Let's grab the gasoline and find a good spot to set the fire.
They grab the gasoline and run away from the creature as they set the gasoline on fire as the creature roars and moves towards the fire
Now, OceanOracle, we need to lure the creature away from the fire. Follow my lead.
Lick my lips like your doing something sexy mmmmm The creature charges at oceanoracle with a look of lust
grabs a nearby branch and starts waving it in front of the creature Hey, monster! Over here! Come and get it! Creature: roars and lunges at Mackenzie, snarling
The creature snarls at ocean oracle
throws the branch aside and sprints away from the creature Come on, you big ugly beast! Follow me if you can! leads the creature deeper into the forest, running as fast as possible Creature: pursues Mackenzie with ferocious determination
The creature eventually catches up to them both as it picks up ocean oracle easily and throws her into a tree
dives to the side, narrowly avoiding the creature's grasp Not today, buddy! quickly rolls to their feet and dashes deeper into the forest
