how to train your... mission!

who: Ben & Will ( [personal profile] snarkbark & [personal profile] barksnark ), Bryn ( [personal profile] inlaid ) and co. I'll add the rest as they tag in!
what: How to train your... mission!
when: Way back when, pretty backdated because I suck.
where: OUT AND ABOUT, outside the city walls. It's adventure time, kids!
warnings: To be added, or specified in subject titles.

The twins call up their trusted pals and buddies and friends to tag along on their first mission together: grab the mysterious new creature that only exists in rumors spread around the city - for now. No one really knows the nature of the animal, or what it actually looks like, just that it's pretty huge. Huge enough that you could ride it, actually.

That's probably why they're so excited to catch it. It's not the only reason they're excited, though, because this obviously calls for an adventure around the outskirts of the city, in which camping is included. Grab your tents, provisions and scary stories, because we're gonna have some fun.

Also, Bryn gets to name the beast. Will is a man (boy) of his word!


[ Notes about the mission! The beast looks like this, is about the size of a horse, and - unless it's frightened - is actually quite docile.

The best way to lure it in and tame it is with genuine laughter. Feel free to have your characters find it out in their own way! The group can find more than one beast. Feel free to NPC their behavior, too.

Possible scenarios: looking around the woods, sitting around the campfire, rotating night shifts so at least a couple of characters are on the lookout while the others sleep, successfully finding a beast, simply being silly and making new/strengthening existing friendships etc. Mingling is encouraged, since engaging in a single thread with 3+ characters tends to take a longer time to wrap up.

Have fun! ]

[Ben is well used to camping. When they stop hiking, there's a enough light left in the sky to start setting up camp and Ben (and Will) is savvy enough to get it done reasonably fast. With reasonable amounts of mischief.

When the tents are pitched and the light has all but gone, he starts a fire. This is possibly not wholly a wise decision, but it makes for good opportunity to gather round it, to talk. To eat. And, hypothetically, lure their beast in with heat and light.

Mostly for the chats. ]
So, [he begins, glancing around their merry little group, some sort of skinned animal filleted along a make shift branch kebab stick in his hand, stuck in the fire to roast.] Who knows some good scary stories?

[In a small, brief interjection -- before anyone might think to say no -- Ben tries to conceal a smile while feigning hesitation. Faux fear as he sits back, a hand lifting to settle on Will's shoulder.] Are you sure? I mean, I've heard if you say her name three times, she'll transcend the multiverse and take you in the night.

[It sounds unbelievable, but in Ben's own experience ...] Let's use a code name instead.
