Camp Smoothie: Disappearance Investigation Discussion

[Chip? No.]

Doing some research into the feathers (that I own).
Meadowlark: Friendship and loyalty, and their call was believed to be good luck.
Magpie: They have a lot of different meanings - generally meant to symbolise duality. Can be good luck and prosperity, or deception and fraud.
Pheasant: Looked through a few meanings, the most interesting to me being that they're symbolic of clairvoyance and clairaudience - their sense of their surroundings keeps them safe from dangers lurking.
Bluebird: A good omen for luck, generally.
Bluejay: Another symbol of awareness, as well as trickery...
Cardinal: A bit more of a disquieting meaning, representing loved ones who have passed away - though they are seen as messengers who deliver words of love. Another omen of good luck.
There were a few bird of prey feathers, too.

Anyone else thinking about the Appalachian’s with all these creatures in the woods?
I don’t think It connects but just a similarity lol

Lots of mentions of deception, and being aware. Tying this into my theory about Cirrus and Seraphine being 'guided away' by something - (previously spoke about the rock formations we get, that are used to show the path on hiking trails) - it's starting to look more like they've been 'deceived' instead of 'taken'. Especially with nothing looking wrong at Cirrus' campsite.

Oh boy, side note i think my Nya is going to win the Berry cabin diving contest /j

But if Berry cabin is diving then does that have anything to do with the "Nessie outline" in the lake?

EDIT: seeing what Creamsicle is doing, and the fans and lights are taken off the glampgrounds, what if the creatures in the forest hate the technologies and stuff in the glampgrounds and decided to kidnap Cirrus and Seraphine because they were polluting the campgrounds? In our Camp Smoothie they tell us to "leave no trace", but idk in the glampgrounds. Maybe the creatures are trying to protect the environment and their home.

I think Ichigo begs to differ >w<

But yeah I imagine there's going to be some kind of run-in with the lake monster.

The lights may have been what attracted the monster(s)? I've seen mothman being thrown around and moths are attracted to light. Of course that doesn't explain why the watchman is gone too. I also think it's unrelated to the lake monster since it lives in the lake : ( Unless maybe it's like at the beach where you can't leave lights on at night because it'll confuse the baby turtles. Maybe there are baby lake monsters and they got confused?

Creamsicle cabin here. It's said that there's nothing too worrisome at Cirrus's tent, but the glampers are the ones taking down the fans and lights.

but you don’t see anything too worrisome at her site

where you find that some of the glampers are packing up their campsites. It’s sad to see the cool string lights coming down and the turbo mister fans being put away.

IDK Why, but this reminds me of a book I read, called "Scat", by Carl Hiaasen. It's about how a biology teacher Mrs. Bunny went missing from the school. But *spoiler alert* she actually went into the forest to save endangered animals. So looking on the bright side, maybe it's not cryptids kidnapping people or wanting revenge on the camp. What if Cirrus and Seraphine are helping the cryptids, but they don't want us to know since the cryptids are secretive?

Scat was an excellent idea, and I think it would be cool if we get to help the cryptids.

Those are Fresno Nightwalkers/Nightcrawlers!

That is such a cool name!

On an unrelated note, how does a deer perform sign language?

Y E S! I absolutely adore Appalachian lore and folk tales, really hoping that there's some stuff related to that here!!

In terms of feathers I got the eagle feather it represents wisdom, strength, and courage. is seen in some mythology as a messenger

The hawk feather meaning is a symbol of spiritual awareness and the ability to see clearly. Some cultures seen as good luck. Celts viewed the hawk as a messenger from the spirit world.
If you cross one it's said you should prepare for the unexpected. This could mean good fortune or something more ominous

Oriole
Orioles are often associated magic and hidden mysteries. Orioles also have a reputation for being very secretive, and they are often seen as symbols of hidden knowledge

"I just know I saw something fishy out there last night! It's obvious that these disappearances are the work of cryptids! There can be no other explanation"

I heard camp ranger Mason say something odd earlier? I wonder if Mason could help at all in the future with trying to uncover this mystery?

[otterbug]

On an unrelayed note, how does a deer perform sign language?

its like the episode of adventure time when the deer takes off the hooves like gloves and has hands underneath!

as someone who has known and spoke in ASL and BSL (british sign language) for half a decade, i would love imagine the deer just clacking its hooves together.


but more related,, i hope Ranger Mason pulls out their cryptozoology background and we get some really cool cryptids
