Iceland Camping Trip
Log Comm | Network Comm | OOC Comm | Navigation

The town of scenic Akureyri provides a perfect backdrop for a summer camping trip. It’s more than warm enough for greenery and unfrozen waters, and the townspeople, having been informed of the appointment ahead of time, are amenable and friendly to the newcomers passing through on their way to the planned site.

This is no ordinary holiday, however. Though the town is certainly welcoming, the idea is to camp, and camping is what everyone will be doing - at least for a little while. Professor Emille has her own planned schedule of activities, including river rafting and climbing, and in the spirit of physical education and getting some fresh air away from the Academy, attending students are highly encouraged to follow along with her. As well as those activities, the normal range of camping 'highlights' is present: cooking your own food over campfires and portable stoves, setting up tents, finding good places to sleep or hide, and simply passing the time in the beauty of nature. Just look out for puffins; they seem to be intensely curious about what all these strange people are up to, and you're no exception.

To occupy the campers while they’re recovering between stints of physical exertion, other activities have been provided; the Academy figures it can cover two things in one by providing arts and crafts materials for making convincing-looking ‘extraterrestrial debris’. Strange ‘artifacts’, bits and pieces of apparently offworld ‘technology’, and for those more morbid or curious students, making convincing-looking ‘alien’ skeletons are among the extra camping tasks that both students and staff can choose to take on.

(This event is being partially run by hatesdragons, who will be doing the relevant activity top level/s. You are also free to use this log as a mingle for your own purposes.)

[If they notice Miach slowing down for them, they actually don't point it out. The main issue is whether or not Hornet opts to help them or leave them to do some rather fantastic scrambling up the cliff face.

Whichever way they do get up, they're in time to see Miach fix upon the deer. Bunny, dog, deer. They don't make a sound but look to Hornet to see which way she's going.]

[The reindeer, with their backs to the group, continue to graze as Miach approaches. The closer she gets, the more audible their eating is -- they rip up the grasses with their teeth, and snort from time to time. Their noisiness makes it unlikely that a rabbit would want to be in this area at this time.

That also means Sira or Hornet may have better luck finding a rabbit from their positions.]

[ Miach is unbothered by the noise or lack of rabbit probability, so she's just going to keep going and stare at reindeer for a bit...

One of the others is likely better suited to progressing this endeavour. ]
