"Well then." Matthew took a bunch of marshmallows and stuffed them in his pocket. "WELLTHANGOTTAGONOWOKAYBYE" He left the campfire abruptly.

Jordan gave a disapproving look to no one in particular.
"Shell no are we having two randomly leaving squids." He grumbled. Jordan gave another of his astoundingly loud snaps. "Zarqa.... Grab him and make him turn around.... or at least get what cabin he wants to be part of."
"Or," Jordan sighed, "just make sure we know where he's headed."
Zarqa zipped off instantly, tailing Matthew.

"Picked a fight with your boss? Oi... this just keeps getting better..." Forge facepalmed, wincing slightly because of his bruised face. He placed his now-barren roasting stick on his lap, if it was still hot, he didn't show it.
"Well... If you truly want to know." Forge started hesitating slightly "Well it all began back in the old days, when most of you were little squids. I began the Iron Kraken, which was basically Ranked times 2. Except it gave actual rewards that didn't involve money and a little letter on your card." He pulled out a little card of a less hurt Forge, who was smiling.
"If you're wondering what Shaxx has to do with all this, I'm getting to it..." Forge warned, placing the card back in his pocket. "Back then, the Cat hosted all the Turf War and Ranked Matches, which made for some unfair and slightly biased games in my opinion. As Judd could be easily swayed back then with a can of fish. Shaxx went and sabotaged one of the rewards I handed out to the victorious players."
He looked around the campfire, viewing the students. "How, you may ask? Well he loaded it with a Splat Bomb full of Oil and Tar, it tarnished my tournament and subsequently I have wanted to kick Shaxx's..." He breathed deeply, in and out. Trying to maintain his calm.
"But I don't mean to burden you with my story, you should hear his." He ended, before taking a look at Jordan. "He still calls granny, RG?" His last word came out with a chuckle.
"Good call with that kid though..."

-Meanwhile at the Dock-
(@Chaos_Knight)
Terence was walking around again, eyes closed and mumbling to himself. The grass rustling lightly against his shoes, before turning into the gentle creaking of the wooden docks. Stumbling slightly on his walk, because of items left behind by tourists, he fell to the ground and dragged himself up. Groaning as he did so.

Chaos was looking down on the lake, staring at his reflection and kept trying to look at the tips of his tentacles which were yellow. He gave another sigh again. Then his train of thought was cut when he heard mumbling close by. It was Terence, still sleepwalking. Chaos slowly approached him. "Geez, you should really sleep in tomorrow." He said to him, but no response. "Hey, c'mon. Wake up or else I'll get Viola unless you want the water to open your eyes." He said so to him again while snapping his fingers in front of his Terence's face. He facepalmed and gave up and took his wrist and went back to the campfire.

Terence flinched at Chaos's hand grabbing his wrist, recoiling at his grip. He started to resist the boy, digging his heels into the ground and refusing to give much ground to the campfire, apparently recognizing it as a threat.
It seems the boy is unwilling to do go on.
-Meanwhile at the campfire-
Forge turned to Jordan, looking him in the eye. "Did I answer your question?" He asked. "You know, how I knew your boss?"

Vivi listened to Forge's story with interested. Iron Kraken. If the battle between him and Shaxx were an example of what it could have been, imagining it as 4v4 would be even more chaotic. "Sounds like it must have been hard to know that anyone can easily bribe Judd before the Squid Sisters were around to keep in check," she comments. Though she still hears rumors of bias judgement would still go on even in present times, but she didn't want to believe silly tabloids or crazy stuff posted on social medias.
Violet also winced at the thought of replacing the ink with oil and tar before being splatted by it. It was already sickening enough that there can be faint smells of these in the Saltspray Rig, but never actually get in contact with the stuff. She also learned about how these chemicals used to tarnish the sea long ago by the land creatures.

Forge looked over at Vivi, raising an eyebrow at her. "I didn't expect anyone to listen to that story, thank you." He said, standing up and doing a slight bow as he stood up. Then he sat back down on the rock, and picked up a couple marshmallows and put them on his roasting stick, before switching his attention back to Vivi.
"It was easy, because back then. You didn't have all the cameras and paparazzi stalking a celebrity's every step. So there would've been no one to rat you out... except other teams." He explained quickly, munching a little on the marshmallows, before realizing that it wasn't even touched by the fire and quickly put it over the fire.

(@Chaos_Knight)
The boy surprisingly, was a lot heavier than Chaos originally thought. Possibly due to his height increasing the weight of him, subsequently making it a far more heavier carry back to the Campfire. Terence's mumbling ceased, probably because of the fact Chaos was holding him up.

Chaos's legs were trembling as he was making his way back. Geez....this is worse than carrying a team full of Inkbrushes when you're only one with a different weapon...
Despite the struggle, he eventually made it back to the campfire and set Terence on the ground next to Jordan. "Sorry everyone for my...disappearance. I needed to clear my mind for a bit... Oh and I found this guy sleep walking again." He explained and pointed to Terence.

Viola looked over to Chaos and quickly saw Terence on the ground. "Gah! Not again!" She shouted, rushing over to him. "Is he okay? He didn't walk into anything bad, right?"

"He's fine. It was just a pain to carry him." He removes his glasses and covers his face with his hand for a brief moment. "Again, sorry for disappearing suddenly. I'm actually a different person when night falls..."

Viola put a hand on Chaos shoulder. "It's okay. Everyone has something they like to keep quiet about. But if you ever need someone to talk to, you've got plenty of friends here! Never be afraid to rely on us!" She gave a seemingly bigger smile than normal, if that was even possible.

The books cover was simply titled "The Campfire Cookbook" but a large pair of initials, M.L, were imprinted over it. Inside the covers, it contained a mix-and-match of handwritten cursive, photos, sketches, marked maps and pressed leaves. The occasional date was at the top of pages, too, the bulk of pages 3-4 years back. Some of the things inside?
---
Jordan peeled his eyes away from the journal as Lydia flipped through it, stuttering as he realized he was getting poked in multiple ways. Firstly, he... awkwardly peeled Alex's tentacle off his lap a second time, carefully tucking it back under the squid.
"Ah! Sorry, Forge! I guess that answers it..." Jordan cracked a grin. "Uh, I'm not sure about Shaxx, but that's the nickname I've been calling her. He probably refers to her as....Yes ma'am," Jordan snickered.
"Chaos! We just pulled up a new bag of sh'mallows, courtesy of Viola and Zarqa." He tilted his head and grinned. "Join us?"

''...Quite a bit of a "will o' of the wisps' story. ...Local lore suggest... forest fae even...?. ..These peculiar plants produce bioluminescence... similar to certain jellyfish species!...aequorin perhaps..? ...but these species show more similarity to... how did they gain these genetic traits?'
There are glarey photos and a technical drawing of a broad leaf.
'...only in this area do these flowers grow... when put in contained environments, they die right away. It's dreadfully sad... thriving in these specific conditions... I've done it! Quite a fancy potted plant... Zale loves it... has no idea he's been taking care of it so well...''
There's a photo of the flower and a sketch of a map, marked. Actually several maps, they seem to be examining different conditions like like weather, shade, water...
" ...sightings of transparent forest fish... Jordan told me I better not try frying the first I document.... it sounds delicious! Haha, he reads my mind... He seems happier out here... I wonder...Wonder f he's alright..."
There are multiple sketches of fish with translucent skin, showing skeletons. They seem to be speculation --there are lots of question marks noting them

"Thanks Viola..." Chaos took Jordan's offer and quietly grabbed some marshmallows and plopped some down his mouth.

As Chaos went to the campfire, Viola knelt down to Terence and nudged him. "Hey....Are you awake?" She asked before sitting down and deciding to wait beside him.

Jordan rolled his eyes and chuckled. "He's not sleep walking , so he's probably actually asleep right now. Usually you're supposed to wake sleepwalkers but, ehhh," he casually battted a hand. "Terence isn't causing anyone any trouble at the moment."
Having absentmindedly started roasting a new marshmallow, Jordan passed his last roasting stick, with a perfectly browned-marshmallow on it, to Viola with a bar of chocolate and crackers.
"Here, consider it an apology from Zarqa and I," Jordan said.

"Still.... I'm gonna stick by him for now. In case he gets up and starts wandering again." She sat down on the grass and hugged her knees before Jordan passed his stick down. "O-Oh. Thank you" She carefully made a s'more and started to eat it, the expression of bliss from earlier returning to her face.
