((Mmkay let's start because I really am excited for it, lol.))
-----
Rain yawned as she woke up, looking at the Kaleidescope of colors playing across the cabin ceiling. That was one of the perks of being in the Iris cabin. Apart from having built in wings, the cabin had perfectly sculpted patterns on the windows that bent the morning sun and refracted the colors all over the cabin. Quickly, she sat up, looking around at the empty beds beside her. Sometimes it got a little boring when there were hardly any other Iris cabin members. Rain inhaled deeply, taking in the scents of the evaporating morning dew and the cooking meats. Breakfast was coming soon.
Rain got out of bed, with only food on her mind. She pulled her suitcase out from the bottom of her bed and hefted it onto the table beside her. She grimaced as she saw the name tag tied to her "portable wardrobe" as she used to call it. The name read "Rachel Mattinson". She hated the name Rachel, preferring her self-assigned nickname. And if it wasn't for her constant pleading, she wouldn't even be using her last name either. Her brother, Brody, wasn't exactly fond of their father whose name they kept. But she didn't want to have two new names, one was enough.

Brody threw a dagger at a dummy, watching as straw strew everywhere from the recently severed fake arm. He shook his head before grabbing his bow from around his torso and fastening an arrow in its place. Brody breathed in before releasing the arrow. It's aim was true as it nailed the target. Sure, a bow didn't cause the nice effect of scattered straw, but at least Brody knew he couldn't possibly miss with his favorite weapon. His inspiration for everything he did. His Muse.
Brody scratched the back of his head before plodding towards the target dummy. Quickly he scooped up the fallen dagger and sheathed it in his belt. Then, very carefully, he slid the arrow out of the rough material that held the dummy filling together. It was still intact, and so, after blowing the dust off it, Brody placed it back in his quiver. He slung his bow back over his shoulder and headed towards the eating pavilion in a quick, graceful lope. His favorite time of day, dawn, was over, and soon campers would be banging around wondering where their breakfast was.
