Camp Smoothie: Disappearance Investigation Discussion

[FireBird1787]

Bringing this over from page 212 of the Casual Chat. If you look closely in the lake you can see the outline of some kind of creature. (I originally saw this brought up by the user 12th)

I really hope the one in the woods is the hide-behind, a lesser known cdyptid cause that's just super cool!

New Chicken clue:

You arrive at the Ranger Station and find Mason in his office, looking at a map. He has a cork board behind his desk with lots of photos of the forest and red string drawing connections between different ones. They just look like regular pictures of trees and the lake to you, but they must be important to him. When he looks up, you ask him what his theories are about the disappearances, and he is more than happy to tell you. The first thing he starts talking about is a legend from his hometown, where people saw a giant bird with red eyes. He lets you know that it was his brother all along, playing pranks. He promises this is how he can tell a real cryptid from a fake.

NEW APPLE CLUE:


You enjoy your walk back from the forest with your buddy, but you’re aware that it’s important to get to work on your clues. After having a restorative lunch you look through the images stored on your camera. In one you see a tuft of orange fur under a trail sign painted on a tree. It looks like it’s made of three rectangles, but you’re not sure how to make heads or tails of it.

I've seen Bigfoot represented as orange ish in multiple medias so it could be hinting to that? The three rectangles part confuses me tho

Berry clue 2!

"You put on your sunscreen and head down to the lake. Lunu asks what you’re up to, but you just tell them that you’re going swimming, and you’re wearing the bathing suits to prove it. You head out into the cordoned off area, but as soon as Lunu’s not looking you sneak out into the rest of the lake. You don’t see anyone fishing, anyway, so you’re probably safe. There are a few people in a canoe who you recognize from the Glampgrounds, and they seem to be heading out further into the lake with quite a bit of gear. You look past them, wondering exactly how far this lake actually goes. You don’t see the end."

green second clue: (we went to watchtower)

You take all necessary precautions. Several campers brought climbing gear from home, so you’ll have safety equipment while you’re on the roof. There is a ladder up to the tower itself, of course, but you don’t want to disturb Seraphine’s space. After getting some high protein snacks to aid you on your journey you head out into the forest. As you hike toward the tower you sing camp songs, and things seem to echo back to you strangely, as if there’s someone else in the woods who knows these songs.

Vanilla second clue:

Breakfast is the next logical step in your day, so you head over to the Mess Hall. Moose is inside, cooking up a storm for those who have decided to stay. All of the other cabins seem to be headed out, so it’s not too crowded. You’re excited when Moose presents you with pancakes in the shape of hearts as a special treat, and you suggest he bring some to Andrea too. After breakfast your group offers to help clean up, and while you’re in the kitchen you ask him what he knows about the Firewatch Tower ranger Seraphine. Moose tells you that they are a newer recruit, but they seem to have a lot of knowledge about the forest and even taught him a thing or two about mushroom identification. As far as he knows, they’ve always been reliable, and Mason is well within his rights to think something nefarious happened to them.

[Chip? No.]

Creamsicle clue 2!

Thankfully, not everyone is so afraid. As you make your way back from the end of the Glampgrounds you approach one of the glampers Andrea introduced to you in passing, and they are still sitting on a big lazy lounger in front of their large pink tent. Once you strike up a conversation you ask them if they had anything go missing from their campsite the previous night, or if they heard any strange noises. They tell you that something tried to mess with their bear-proof bag, and it certainly couldn’t have been a bear. They point out the tree where they hung it from, and it is quite tall.

Definitely seems like bigfoot imo.
(or another hint to mothman? Flight and whatnot)

Creamsicle clue pairs well with this
Three rectangles on a trail mean either trail start, trail end, or an intersection (depending on the layout)
