She follows him.

The cabin: is rather nice, for a cabin! They have beds and space to put their stuff and even a bit of privacy! Gosh!

It looks like two of the four beds already have people moved into them. Presumably Anthony has taken one of them.

"Pick a bed."

Permalink

She points at one randomly.

Permalink

"Feel free to put your stuff down, make yourself at home or whatever."

Permalink

"Alright." She puts her bag on the bed. "What next?"

Permalink

"Next is some emergency stuff –" And then he explains where to go in the event of a fire, who to contact and how to do so. It's reasonably obvious, for being out in the middle of nowhere, and also copied down in the folder and there are convenient signs about exit protocol in most of the buildings. (Which, when there are between one and two doors for each building, plus windows, is not particularly complicated.)

She pays attention but doesn't have any questions—it is reasonably obvious.

He indicates other bits in the folder – other bits of protocol to follow, especially when you're unsure about what to do, like if you encounter a fight or a kid doing something reckless, something that might endanger others, etc.

Then he's done and they can go look around a bit more! "So, I'm thinking show you into one of the kids' huts, then show you where the perimeter of the camp is, then… probably go back so you can meet the other counselors hanging around the central bit?"

Permalink

"Yeah, sounds like a good idea. By the way, are counselors doing activities with the kids all day every day? What's actual day-to-day life for us?"

Permalink

"It's… a lot of the day, yeah," he says. "We take breaks if we're not all needed to supervise them for an activity – usually there are at least two counselors supervising a group, like I say – but it's pretty full-on."

Permalink

"Well, sounds like it'll be fun, then."

Permalink

"I'm glad you think so!"

Permalink

Kids' huts?

Permalink

Are smaller! They do, however, have bedframes onto which the kids can put their sleeping bags.

Permalink

"Poor kids, living in poverty while we luxuriate."

Permalink

"Tragic," says Anthony. "Just so sad."

Permalink

"I'm not sure I'm sad about never having been on the other end of this bargain."

Permalink

"Yeah, well, parents have to have somewhere to drop their kids."

Permalink

"...on second thought."

Permalink

He looks at her, a bit assessingly. "So, should we go take a look at the perimeter?"

Permalink

"Yeah!"

Permalink

… It is not actually particularly thrilling! However it is important to know approximately where it goes and what it looks like (it is not particularly hard to miss but there are in fact parts that go through foresty bits, so, be careful).

"So, I'm gonna go out on a limb here… and guess you like books?"

Permalink

"What gave me away?"

Permalink

"Nothing major," he says, starting his way back to the central part of camp.

Then he considers. "… It might be the way you flirt."

Permalink

"The way I flirt?"
