AAAAA I LOVE THESE QUESTIONS SO MUCH <33

1. What is your nickname, timezone, pronouns, and favorite thing to do when it rains? (@-NightGlow-)
i go by luna, though i’ve been donned by several nicknames through my time here— chances are, as long as it starts with the letter L i will most likely respond to it my pronouns are she/xyr, and i live in est! (which is far superior to pst, for the record) on rainy days, i’m usually hoarding snacks and watching supernatural.

2. What is your favorite dessert? (@Whirlygig)
i’ve never actually had a sweet tooth— i’ll take a basket of salty fries over a dessert any day! my mom does make some killer knafeh thougy :>

3. If you could meet any three celebrities and have a conversation with them, who would it be and why? (@Rey_venclaw)
leigh bardugo, chloe gong, and eva noblezada! the first two have written some of the most compelling stories i’ve ever read, and i’d love to hear about what went through their head when they were making them. as for eva? she’s eva, enough said <3

4. if you could go back in time and live any one moment again, what would it be a why? (@moonlitseas)
honestly, any moment with my best friend— if i had to chose a specific time, i’d probably go with july 23rd of 2021, since that was when we pulled our first all-nighter (which was the time of my life! lightsaber combat and midnight snacks for hours) but any time i get to hang out with her seems worth reliving

5. Are you a morning person or a night owl? (@Lesixiq-)
OHOHO DEFINITELY A NIGHT OWL <33 i regret to inform i stayed up till 4am last night oopsie daisies

6. What's your favorite Taylor Swift song? (@zparkly)
i suspect i’ll be disappointing finch with my answer here, but lavender haze :> it’s definitely one of my all-time favorites— though my #1 (hehehe) is always changing! currently i’d say it’s no body no crime though

7. if you could magically be fluent in any language, what would it be and why? (@–tranquility)
spanish, so that i could pass ib exams xD

8. How many chickens would it take to kill an elephant? (@Eeveedonut)
zero, all it takes is a flaming forg

9. have you ever done an escape room? (irl one, card game, video game, or otherwise) if so how was it? :0 (@mossflower29)
yes, i’ve done a ton! the first one i did was classroom themed, then there was a white house themed one, a lost treasure/archeology themed room, my twelfth birthday party was a virtual escape room (covid times, heh), a moriarty’s parlor one with my friend, and a paranormal one for my friend’s birthday last year! i think we escaped from them all, save for the white house and the virtual one. i love escape rooms so so much <33

10. Favorite board/card game? (@Sandy-Dunes)
hmm— probably ticket to ride! i used to play it all the time with my friend over the summer. i also bring uno cards to school sometimes, so me and my friends in bio will play rounds from time to time :>

11. Are you currently writing a story? If so what is it about? (@Xx_Hermione_xX)
far, far too many— the biggest project i’ve had in the works for three years and counting is a fantasy novel with my best friend, which was originally about six teenagers in an elemental world who unravel this kidnapping scheme— though it’s been on hold for the past two years, and we’re hoping to rework the plot and worldbuilding this year. it’s also a new years resolution of mine to finish a rough draft of a novel this year, though i haven’t come up with a concept yet!

12. Who are your top three music artists? (@strange_skies)
neffex, bastille, and imagine dragons! taylor swift comes very close though <33

13. What's the one item(s) that you're always wearing, no matter what? (@cb2jkl)
a necklace, always currently, i’m wearing a golden sphere locket that was a birthdsy gift from my friend!

14. What is your typical writing routine? (places you write, if you listen to music, time of day, that kind of thing) (@TheBibliophile7)
i’ve mentioned her several times here already, because she truly is a special person in my life— my best friend. she’s the one who first got me into writing, and we do almost all our writing collaboratively! so i’m usually going back and forth with her, bouncing around ideas, listening to our favorite band, and sitting on my bed

15. hit me with a list of your fandoms, if you have any! (@Luna-Lovegood-LOL)
harry potter, star wars, kotlc, avatar: the last airbender, voltron legendary defender, riordanverse, she-ra, the owl house, marvel, medieval cop, a series of unfortunate events, bbc sherlock (sorry, sun </3), hamilton, stranger things, 39 clues, wings of fire, now you see me, hadestown, six, i the heights, dear evan hansen, heathers, arcane, grishaverse, htgawm, supernatural, enola holmes, wednesday, cobra kai, lucifer, carmen sandiego, never have i ever, heartstopper, lost in space, the flash, manifest, alter ego, glass onion, the dragon prince, and so, so much more <33

14. What is your typical writing routine? (places you write, if you listen to music, time of day, that kind of thing) (@TheBibliophile7)
my writing routine is currently down the drain at the moment- usually i would be writing in random places offline, but since i got a new school account, i haven't been able to since offline editing is enabled for my old acc D: i might listen to taylor swift while i'm writing but other than that, it's very, very messy.

ooh questionnaire time

1. What is your nickname, timezone, pronouns, and favorite thing to do when it rains? (@-NightGlow-)
I'm Leina, or you can just simply call me Lei I use she/her pronouns and live in PST! When it rains, I either sleep or daydream about sleeping.

2. What is your favorite dessert? (@Whirlygig)
ICE CREAM ICE CREAM FTW! I love all types of ice cream and ice cream sandwiches, if that counts. Normally, I wouldn't feast on too many sweets or chocolates though - too much makes me feel nauseous

3. If you could meet any three celebrities and have a conversation with them, who would it be and why? (@Rey_venclaw)
Roald Dahl and Gordon Korman because I grew up reading their books I'm not sure about the third person though-

4. if you could go back in time and live any one moment again, what would it be and why? (@moonlitseas)
Probably my 5th ever Christmas. I was visiting relatives in another country, and I absolutely loved playing in the snow! Especially because it doesn't snow in where I live ;v; But I would also want to relive the day of my very first SWC session - both memories were so magical and enchanting!

5. Are you a morning person or a night owl? (@Lesixiq-)
I wish I could say morning person but I'm a night owl :')

6. What's your favorite Taylor Swift song? (@zparkly)
I don't really listen to Taylor Swift (I'm sorry ), but my friends force me to listen to blank space 24/7 I dunno why-

7. if you could magically be fluent in any language, what would it be and why? (@–tranquility)
Probably chinese - mainly because my friend keeps showing me videos and the such that are in chinese and I want to understand what they mean ;-;

8. How many chickens would it take to kill an elephant? (@Eeveedonut)
Two - so they can birth the indestructible egg of SWC c:<

9. have you ever done an escape room? (irl one, card game, video game, or otherwise) if so how was it? :0 (@mossflower29)
YESS I LOVE THEM!! They were all irl, but I enjoyed each and every single one! My first one was the typical prison related escape room (I heard people screaming in the lobby of the escape room place O-O), and then a bakery one, a research center of sorts, an engineer's house or smth (this one was my favorite ), and a rat training center (?). Now that I'm typing it they all sound really weird-

10. Favorite board/card game? (@Sandy-Dunes)
Exploding Kittens. I got it for Christmas one year and it was basically the only card game I played for 5 months xD

11. Are you currently writing a story? If so what is it about? (@Xx_Hermione_xX)
Unfortunately, I am not. I guess you can say I signed up for co this session so I can somehow get past my writer's block that has been sticking along with me since last month But one of my friends really enjoys writing, so I help her with her story sometimes

12. Who are your top three music artists? (@strange_skies)
Uh sdlkfdkjf I find Dove Cameron a lot in my playlists- I really just like the music and don't pay attention to the artist :>

13. What's the one item(s) that you're always wearing, no matter what? (@cb2jkl)
…clothes? xD I don't have a special item I wear everyday ;-;

14. What is your typical writing routine? (places you write, if you listen to music, time of day, that kind of thing) (@TheBibliophile7)
I sit on my bed or a comfortable place on my couch. I can write at anytime of day, but my best ideas come during the morning or night! My friend spams me with links to all of her spotify playlists and I go through all of them when I feel motivated to write

15. hit me with a list of your fandoms, if you have any! (@Luna-Lovegood-LOL)
I find a few and just stick with them so I don't really have a lot, but definitely Genshin Impact and the DSMP <3

Quick question - do we have to have our cabin atmosphere (the one each group decides upon) written in our own cabin? Or is that only necessary for the camper sign-ups?

This was worded a bit weirdly, so if any clarification is needed, just let me know <3

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe it’s just necessary for camper signup purposes <3

I mean you can put it in your cabin if you want, but it's primarily for camper signups <3

It didn’t work for Bi-Fi last session until it randomly fixed itself like an hour later as Stingray probably remembers. I guess that just happens sometimes?

1. What is your nickname, timezone, pronouns, and favorite thing to do when it rains? (@-NightGlow-)
Hi! I'm JC, I'm in EST, and I use she/her pronouns. I'm co-leading real-fi/the cabin that will not win! My favourite thing to do when it rains is definitely reading, closely followed by playing board games with my family.

2. What is your favorite dessert? (@Whirlygig)
There's this one Brazilian dessert (I am Brazilian) called brigadeiro that's basically these balls of gooey chocolate. It's delicious <3

3. If you could meet any three celebrities and have a conversation with them, who would it be and why? (@Rey_venclaw)
Rick Riordan, Ally Carter, and Marissa Meyer. They're my favourite authors

4. if you could go back in time and live any one moment again, what would it be and why? (@moonlitseas)
there are so many things I could pick. If I had this opportunity, I would pick when my cousin showed me her music taste for the first time. I still listen to the songs, but listening to songs for the first time always is different from relistening. It was also the first time she opened up to me and was just so fun to spend that time with her <3

5. Are you a morning person or a night owl? (@Lesixiq-)
depending on the day, I could be either, both, or none.

6. What's your favorite Taylor Swift song? (@zparkly)
I haven't listened to many of her songs, but look what you made me do, love story, don't blame me, and i knew you were trouble all have special connections to me.

7. if you could magically be fluent in any language, what would it be and why? (@–tranquility)
My mind immediately goes to Latin or another ancient language, just because it would be so cool to speak either of them. Korean or any sign language would also be pretty cool! I love learning new languages, but haven't gotten chances to learn anything other than Portuguese or French </3

8. How many chickens would it take to kill an elephant? (@Eeveedonut)
I have no clue

9. have you ever done an escape room? (irl one, card game, video game, or otherwise) if so how was it? :0 (@mossflower29)
I did one when I was eight and visiting Mont Tremblant (It's in Canada). There was this company with about ten different rooms and I was too scared to do any of them except for the Jack and the Beanstalk room. It was a really fun room! We figured out one of the things we had to do without actually finding the clue that told us how to do it (you had to pour water from a bucket into a block I think was supposed to be soil, and to get the clue to tell you to do it, you had to solve a number puzzle with beans. We couldn't solve the bean puzzle and had to ask for a hint, but one of my cousins noticed the block was wet before that and had the idea to pour the water on it)

10. Favorite board/card game? (@Sandy-Dunes)
clue!

11. Are you currently writing a story? If so what is it about? (@Xx_Hermione_xX)
I am working on four different stories. My favourite one is about the zodiac signs and a world where they're personified.

12. Who are your top three music artists? (@strange_skies)
I listen to all kinds of music so this is super hard </3 according to the app I listen to music on, my most listened to artists are txt, Conan Gray, and Tate McRae.

13. What's the one item(s) that you're always wearing, no matter what? (@cb2jkl)
glasses. can't see a thing without them

14. What is your typical writing routine? (places you write, if you listen to music, time of day, that kind of thing) (@TheBibliophile7)
I have to have an idea or prompt when I start writing. Otherwise, what I write is just sentences put together. I usually write at my desk in my room with my childhood playlist in the background

15. hit me with a list of your fandoms, if you have any! (@Luna-Lovegood-LOL)
toh, renegades, percy jackson, kane chronicles, heroes of olympus, kotlc, hunger games, shadowhunters, stranger things, d3ad end:paranormal park, gallagher girls, harry potter, the seven series, inheritance games, and anything by Eric Walters/Gordon Korman (these are just the ones I've finished or read/watched the majority of, and just off the top of my head. there's a lot more)

this happened with hi-fi last session— you need to make your thumb a pseudo-gif before you make it into a (technically) animated webp. You duplicate your thumbnail, make it a gif on ezgif, and then use that gif and turn it into a webp.

Hello everyone! My name is Inky and I’m co-leading Dystopian with the spectacular Zaine and Moss.

1. What is your nickname, timezone, pronouns, and favorite thing to do when it rains? (@-NightGlow-)
I go by the nickname Inky on Scratch! I’m a PSTer who uses she/her pronouns and I love to read/write/drink hot chocolate when it rains.

2. What is your favorite dessert? (@Whirlygig)
Chocolate cake (and honestly just anything chocolate).

3. If you could meet any three celebrities and have a conversation with them, who would it be and why? (@Rey_venclaw)
Um, I don’t know many celebrities so I’m just going to put three of my favorite authors: Rick Riordan, Kate Milford, and Shannon Messenger. I adore Rick Riordan’s books and he seems like such a funny and cool person to talk to. Kate Milford’s novels are absolutely amazing and I desperately want to be able to discuss them with someone - why not the writer herself? She has such creative ideas and I feel like there’s a lot I could learn from her. And Shannon Messenger - I take back what I said earlier, she is not by any means one of my favorite authors. But boy oh boy would I like to sit down and have a conversation with her.

4. if you could go back in time and live any one moment again, what would it be and why? (@moonlitseas)
Maybe this is cheating a bit, but the entire year of third grade. That was honestly the best year of my life - I don’t think I’ve ever had a better teacher, best friend, or possession of self-confidence. Everything was so simple and happy and good and I wish I could experience that again.

5. Are you a morning person or a night owl? (@Lesixiq-)
Night owl, waking up early is one of my least favorite things to do. I enjoy staying up later, though.

6. What's your favorite Taylor Swift song? (@zparkly)
I don’t really listen to Taylor Swift or know any of her songs by their titles, sorry.

7. if you could magically be fluent in any language, what would it be and why? (@–tranquility)
Japanese, because it’s my grandparents’ first language and I would be better able to communicate with them. Also the rest of my family thinks I should learn it because “it’s your heritage!”

8. How many chickens would it take to kill an elephant? (@Eeveedonut)
Depends on how angry the chickens are.

9. have you ever done an escape room? (irl one, card game, video game, or otherwise) if so how was it? :0 (@mossflower29)
I’ve never done an in-person one, but I have tried escape-room-themed jigsaw puzzles and an advent calendar!

10. Favorite board/card game? (@Sandy-Dunes)
Disney Villainous or Trekking the National Parks.

11. Are you currently writing a story? If so what is it about? (@Xx_Hermione_xX)
Uh, I’m writing a Ruy x Alvar KotLC fanfic if that counts.

12. Who are your top three music artists? (@strange_skies)
I don’t actually know! I kind of just have a bunch of random playlists that I enjoy. I really love Joe Hisaishi, though.

13. What's the one item(s) that you're always wearing, no matter what? (@cb2jkl)
I don’t really have any clothing items that I’m attached to! I like jeans, soft sweatshirts, and those boxy crop tops that don’t actually expose any skin, if that counts

14. What is your typical writing routine? (places you write, if you listen to music, time of day, that kind of thing) (@TheBibliophile7)
I either lean against my bed with my iPad (when I’m lazy) or sit down in front of the family desktop (when I’m motivated). Sometimes I listen to writing playlists on YouTube. And this is kind of weird but I prefer writing when it’s not sunny out (the sky is overcast or it’s night).

15. hit me with a list of your fandoms, if you have any! (@Luna-Lovegood-LOL)
Let’s see: Harry Potter, the Riordanverse, Keeper of the Lost Cities, The Lunar Chronicles, and Lockwood and Co. Also these doesn’t have a fandom, but if they did I would totally be a part of it: Kate Milford’s Greenglass House/Arcana books.

16. If you could meet any fictional character, who would they be and why? (@pages-of-ink)
Meddy from Greenglass House or Cress from The Lunar Chronicles. Meddy because she’s insanely cool. Cress because she has such terminally online yet bookish fangirl energy; we’d get along really well, I think.
