Camp Smoothie: Disappearance Investigation Discussion

[ZAW526]

I’m on mobile atm and it looks okay. Just a couple suggestions. Are you able to use a darker shade of orange? It might be harder for others to read. Also, maybe a thin border between each camp’s narrative?

Thank you for the feedback! Unsure if that worked, though, does it look better to you? I will add a divider when I get to my laptop.

I'm also on mobile and it looks good to me now!

I don't think that Seraphine would leave the Firewatch Tower, unless it was very pressing or she had a replacement...

Side note: it’s considered disrespectful to spell out, or really discuss the w*ndigo, as it is considered a closed-faith part of tribal tradition. I’m hoping that one of the cryptids is not that creature so that we can avoid that mess altogether. In the meantime, though, if we absolutely have to discuss it, please censor your use of the word.

just to add- I was not trying to be disrespectful by mentioning them. Im a native myself, and personally dont find it disrespectful to simply just mention the name. however i cannot speak for others. /lh but yes it could potentially create a mess if one of the cryptids were to be one. I was just throwing my thoughts out there. i hope this didnt sound rude at all! just trying to explain my 'side'.

I think Seraphine mentioned that there was another ranger who steps in for them every now and then? Maybe there is something up with that

Nah, you don’t sound rude, no worries. I appreciate you sharing. I’ve just read enough accounts being like “y’all stop talking about it” that I wanted to say something, at least.

NEW APPLE CLUE!

As you leave, though, your flashlight catches on a red reflection in the bushes. There sure are a lot of raspberries! No matter, you need to get back before lights out. Trail signs point the way, but as you’re about to make a right turn your buddy stops you and insists that it’s the wrong direction. When you check carefully you can see that someone has altered the sign, and it’s supposed to point left. Thanks to your buddy’s keen eye you make it back to camp safely.

Oh, maybe! That's a good idea. It could be that she asked for a replacement for a day or two and they didn't show up, or something like that.

Green team clue~

If you want to investigate what you’ve seen, it’s time to return to camp and make a plan. Seraphine hasn’t returned to the tower, and you’re glad you’ll be able to confirm that for everyone else, even though it would have been much more simple if they had. As you head back and pass the Glampgrounds your flashlights catch on something shiny in the underbrush. When you investigate you see two high quality crystal rhinestones lying in the dirt.

new Vanilla clue !

The other campers have begun to return to camp and everyone is talking excitedly about potential clues and hypotheses about what happened or what’s to come. You notice that Andrea is still not smiling, a real departure from what you have come to expect from her. You sit down on her bench by the fire and offer to toast a marshmallow for her. She declines, but when you turn away to get a marshmallow of your own you hear her whisper, “This isn’t like her. She wouldn’t leave.” You decide to stay sitting next to Andrea, just in case there’s something you can do to cheer her up.

new chocolate clue, I believe!

After confirming that Cirrus’ campsite was potentially messed with, everyone is in agreement that the broken friendship bracelet that could be hers is the most likely clue, so you congratulate yourselves on a job well done and head to the Mess Hall for dinner. Later as you gather around the fire you see that Vanilla Cabin campers are trying to cheer up Andrea, and you immediately join them to help. When she sees one of you holding the broken bracelet, her eyes go wide, and she tells you that it belonged to Cirrus, and that she had made it for her. She insists that Cirrus would never have been so careless as to lose it, and she didn’t like hiking, anyway.
