Matted, the donkey trotted into camp with a drum hanging from his neck. He heaved out a sigh and began a slow and depressed sounding drum roll. This when on for a few minutes before a bright pink stallion, with a curly mane tied into a sloppy looking ponytail jumped out from behind him. The stallion stood up on his hind legs and, smiled wide showing two rows of bright white teeth.

 

"HELLOO-O FILLIES AND COLTS!" He yelled, doing a back flip and then a front flip. "My name is Bubbly Fizz and I am your counselor, friend and confidant!"

 

He ran around the campfire shaking everyone's hands. “Now then, today I want to get to know you on a deep spiritual level!” He paused and stared at all of the foals, seriously, then his face split into a grin. “So we are going to have a scavenger hunt!’ He rubbed his hooves together and plopped down onto one of the logs. “I have…Borrowed something from every cabin and hidden the objects all over the camp! Now I will give you all a riddle and you have to work with your cabin mates to find the thing that I hid!”

 

“Now then for Cabin 1:

“Something shiny I have taken

A thing that snips

A thing that’s sharp

I have placed it somewhere high

And if you don’t find it,

It’ll go bye-bye!”

 

“Cabin 2:

“These objects are very important

For without them you cannot live!

They jingle and they jangle

They are something that you give

And receive something in return.

I've given it to someone sad

Who needs is very bad.”

 

“And last but not least Cabin 3:

This item is very essential

As it holds an element important

If you travel without it

You’ll find that you’ll collapse.

I have hidden it somewhere expected.

So run little ponies, go and get it.”

 

And with that, the pink stallion, clapped his hooves and dropped a smoke bomb in front of him and disappeared. Well not really as everyone had a clear view of him and Matted galloping away at full speed.

 

((Check the OOC thread for what he took.))

Rai raised an eyebrow when Bubbly Fizz appeared, doing flips and generally acting younger than his age. She didn't really like immature people, especially adults but she soon brightened up and had a big grin on her face when he announced the riddles. She saw that Star and Missy were both sat together, so Rai joined them and gestured for Rosemary to come and sit with them.

"So, we're working on a scavanger hunt with riddles, huh? I LOVE solving riddles and puzzles!" She said happily, seeming genuinely excited about the activity.

Rose stood by the rest of her group, but didn't talk to them immediately. "Hmmm..." For a second Rosemary was concerned that the odd pink stallion, who she admittedly thought was homosexual, had taken her meter. She really needed that thing, but, you don't give them in exchange for something else, nor does it Jingle and jangle. She spoke to the rest of cabin #2. "Do you think he took someone's keys and hid them?"

[Ampharos 1,009]

Blaze's eyes grew wide. He looked down to see that his neck cloth was still around his neck. The way the odd stallion had described the item perfectly matched Blaze's relationship with his cloth. He turned towards the others in his cabin. He had only met Emerald. He waited for someone else to reply before he put in his two bits.

Instead of focusing on the riddle at hoof, all Sorrow did was cough and gag at the smoke that was just brushed into her face and mouth. She used her notebook as a fan, to try to move the smoke away from her vicinity, sitting down on the ground to prevent herself from getting anymore of the smoke.

Missy Splash

 

Missy looked at Rai in surprise. Wow she did a total 180! Well maybe its for the best and she won't be so snippy. However now, Missy was kind of upset. She wasn't good at riddles, in fact she sucked at them completely. "Uh...Well keys do jingle and jangle, and I guess we wouldn't be able to live without them, because we couldn't get into our houses? But who did he give them to and--" She held her head, "I hate riddles! And who else thinks that this is a serious invasion of privacy!"

 

Lavender Pierce

 

Lavender stared after the pink stallion. Freak show... She thought. Wasn't any staff at this camp relatively normal? She heard someone coughing and saw the trembling mare from before. She approached her quickly. "Okay, so let's get started. What do you think that pink weirdo took?" She asked.

Sorrow looked back up to see the mare from before again, but this time, she didn't shake or yell... She looked scared again, though. 

 

Um... Okay... Something that snips... and is sharp... A knife? Knives are sharp... And they can snip through anything.... So...

 

Instead of talking, she acted out the word, acting as if she was chopping someone with a knife against the ground.

 "I doubt it would be keys. He had said that the pony he had given it to needed them very bad, so what would anypony want with our keys? They wouldn't be of any use to them..." Rai trailed off, thinking hard, "Jewelry perhaps? Although I didn't bring any. And I don't find it to be an invasion of privacy that much, as long as they give the things back."

Rose raised her hoof in a response to Missy. "I'm not sure about you girls, but frankly I wouldn't want this guy coming into our temporary 'houses' and taking our stuff! And what about the first cabin? I'm not sure what he meant, but he said that if they didn't find their item, it would disappear!" She turned her head to where the old, grumpy donkey was still standing. "I bet he gave it to him, he sure seems sad enough." She said in a joking manner.

Missy nodded vigorously, "I know right! He's being a total creeper, and eek!" She stopped abruptly her eyes widening. "I brought this really cool mood ring that my mom got for me a few months back! What if that's what he took?" She could feel anger bubbling up inside of her, she was already starting to dislike the camp creator.

Lavender blinked, staring at the pegasus. "Are you...Mute?" She asked. Honestly she wouldn't be surprised if the pony was mute, as she hadn't said a word before. Well to her knowledge. The only sounds she had made were whimpers.

Rai listened to Rosemarys' jokey suggestion that it was Matted and nodded.

"You know, you might be right," She replied, "He seems like the saddest here, at least. So if it's him, why would he need the jewelry OR keys? Anything else you guys can think of?"

Rai had a sneaking suspicion that she may know the answer, but she decided not to let on and let the others solve this for themselves so it would be a team effort.

Sorrow didn't want to speak at all. Not a single bit. She actually wanted to explain that she wasn't a mute, but if that got out, other ponies would make her talk... So, with a gulp, she lied and nodded to Lavender. That was another bad part of her... She hated lying.

Rose listened to the other ponies. Rai said that it was possible that it actually could be matted that he gave whatever it was to. "Yeah, now that I think about it, it would make sense. He couldn't give it to himself or one of us, and we don't know anyone else here.." Rose trailed off. She smiled a bit, happy to have actually helped for once. "Do you think that the item could be...." Rose had an idea for a moment, but forgot it as she started talking. "Dang it, I forgot."

Lavender glowered at the other pegasus, "My name is Lavender Pierce. Not, Missy Grumpy." You little twit. She added to herself. "And no, the only thing I brought with me where a few cloaks, hair products, and my scissors--" She stopped abruptly her innards twisting and seemed to grow cold. She shook her head, there was no way. No freaking way! She had hid her scissors under her bed! Or had she left them out when she offered to cut the mute mare's mane? Had she or hadn't she?!

Missy pratically rose on the tips of her hooves when Rose started talking and seemed to have a clue as to what it was, and fell over when the filly said that she forgot.

"Well why don't we go back to the cabin and check to see if any of our jewelry is missing?" She suggested.

Rose thought for a moment why they would be looking for jewelry, then remembered that that had been one of the suggestions that had been thrown out. "Well, I doubt it would be jewelry because you can live without it, but nonetheless, we should go check our cabin and see if anything of anyone's is missing." While she waited for the other mares to respond, she sat on the ground and tried desperately to remember what she thought it had been. That thought just seemed to have completely disappeared from her mind, Ugh!

Sorrow looked over towards Art Streak, gulping slowly scooting herself back. Why was it that when one pony was with her, another one had to come? She hated that.... She just wanted to hide again. Just again... She opened up her notebook, hiding up her face to try and avoid contact with either of them...

Rai nodded with a slight smirk on her face.

"Alright, let's head back to the cabin and check our stuff." She said, starting to walk off slowly so that they could catch up with her. She rather enjoyed watching Rosemary struggle to work out what it was and had a private giggle to herself. "You guys coming?"

Lavender Pierce

 

Lavender glanced down at the mute pony, as she rose into the air, but decided she was pretty much done with her. She had try to become friends with her, and every effort either failed or was rebuked. Which was fine with her, she didn't need friends. She just wanted this summer camp to be over. But more than that she wanted her scissors!

"Up high...Well he's not a pegasus so he can't use the clouds. Maybe he meant the rooftops?" She pondered aloud. She glanced quickly at the purple pegasus, maybe she had been wrong about her? She thought, but shook the her head. The purple pegasus- Who she still hadn't learned the name of seemed to dislike her a lot, even though she hadn't done a thing to her! She was the one who douses her in rainwater!

"Yeah, coming!" Missy trotted after Rai, eager to reach their cabin and see what was missing. As they walked she was still trying to figure out the riddle. Even if she was bad at them, it didn't mean she couldn't at least try to think of an answer.

Rose reluctantly got up and followed the ponies, still trying to think of what it had been. She was sure she knew, it was hidden somewhere in her brain. As she noticed the mares had gotten quite a ways ahead of her, so she galloped a few paces to catch up with them. They all arrived at the same time, and Rose ended up getting the honor of opening the door. She turned around to face the ponies, a frustrated look on her face. "It's locked, he must want us to figure out the riddle." Rose sighed. Whatever it was, i think I remember it started with a 'B'.

Missy stomped her hooves in irritation. "Ugh!" She was already upset about, the invasion of privacy but now their cabin was locked! I wanna go home...She thought about sending a letter to her parents, but remember how she said she was going to stay with Star. I can't abandon her just because I'm a little uncomfortable! "Okay, so he said that he gave the object to someone who was sad and needed it bad. Well we've only seen two staff members so far, and Bubbly Fizz is far from sad. So like you guys said before, Matted seems like the best choice. But he ran off with Bubbly Fizz."

"He'll probably only give whatever it is to us if we tell him what it is exactly, but yeah, how are we supposed to find him? We don't know where his cabin is, nor do we or can we walk all the way over to wherever they ended up. Do you suppose it could be somepony else?"

Lavender shot back down to the ground and stormed right up to the little colt, getting into his personal space. "What did you just say?" She snapped, her eyes narrowing. "What do you even know about me? I just met you like what...Five minutes ago? And the first thing you said when you saw me and her," She pointed at the mute pony "Was that you didn't want to talk to any of us! So how in the wide wide world of Equestria are you trying to make me out to be some sort of drama queen?" She yelled. "How would you feel if something important to you was taken away, huh? How. Would. You. Feel?" She finished, her sides heaving and her nostrils flaring.

"I don't know how I'd feel, but I'd probably be acting like you are right now; frantic, angry, moody, you get the gist. So, I'm not saying I magically like any of you, but if we get this overwith, than Lavendar will have her scissors back and will stop screaming."

 

He quickly caught himself. "I'm not saying you do that all the time, but that's what happens when ponies take things from other ponies."

 

He huffed out a breath. Yes, soooooooooo much fun. Just love it here. Cabinmates are just fantastic.

Lavender practically growled at the colt, but picked him up and flew them onto the roof of the main cabin, where she deposited him. She decided right then that she didn't like the colt but she wanted to get her scissors back pronto. She flew back to the purple pony. "Yeah, well it doesn't hurt to just check the rooftops anyway." She muttered and flew of to rummage through the leaves of a tree. "Good idea, though." She mumbled.
