Later that night
The light of the fire is the only illumination in an otherwise pitch black canopied forest.  The sky above is so filled with stars as to appear ready to burst;  as if hanging just one more light in the sky would make the whole thing come crashing down.  All the familiar aural ambiance is gone, with the noise of cars and plane engines replaced by the much more agreeable hooting of the owl and the crackle of the fire.

An unfamiliar pair of eyes shifts its gaze between the campers, as an invisible and distant watcher takes a moment to observe unseen...

From their campfire, Iris leans back and takes a bite of big, golden-brown marshmellow.

"Hmmm," she says, licking her lips, "Perfectly toasted."

She's glad that she was able to beg her parents into letting her go with her friends this weekend. She's having the time of her life.

Even if she does have this weird feeling in the pit of her stomach. Like there's someone out there...watching them.

"You guys think there's anyone out there...like watching us?"

Or maybe, she still a bit freaked out about the REALLY SCARY STORY that someone had told that made her nearly jump out of her skin.

Jeannie hunches further over her marshmallows, never looking up at the fire or the trees. Perhaps leaving her mystically-adjusted glasses at home was a bad idea after all, but the feeling in the air is making her more antsy than the color only a few feet away from her.

She nods in agreement, and an image appears over her head of trees with narrow eyes in their tops, watching the group. The trees start eating the supplies and tents.

Iris's question made Traya look up in surprise.

"...Well, I didn't before."

Ty doesn't sleep, but he was happy to join in on the marshmallows and the rest. Since it ended, he's wandered off a ways, since he's been feeling more and more on edge since the stories, for some reason, and Ty on edge is a bad thing.

"Why would someone be watching us?" he sends via open telepathy, nonetheless scanning the area around them slightly. Something definitely doesn't seem right.

The telepathy makes Iris jump in her seat a little.

"Umm...because they're a crazy escaped psycho slasher, looking for a couple of unsuspecting teenagers to add to their list of victims?"

She shrugs sheepishly. "It could happen."

Ty wanders back into camp, looking around. "Sorry, didn't mean to startle you. Uhm... I'm pretty sure we shouldn't have any issues with a psycho slasher. Anything that'd make you feel better?"
He just wishes he could. He's more sure by the moment there's something wrong out here.

Iris laughs uneasily. "I'm sure it's just nothing. I've always had a bit of an overactive imagination..."

Yet, she just has this nagging feeling in the back of her head that something is just not right. She's a bit twitchy, shifting her eyes from left to right, almost as if she's just waiting for something to spring out and grab them. And no, she's not just jumpy from the several or so cans of soda she had.

Lian knows better than to ignore her instincts. It's entirely possible that they're all just too accustomed to the city, but her utility belt is around her waist nonetheless, and the weight of the knives in particular is comforting. Looking around, she pops another marshmallow in her mouth as she fits another one to her stick.

"Hey Teddy," Lian says idly, rotating the marshmallow for even cooking, "do you feel like anything's 'off'?"

Teddy's sprawled out on a blanket near the fire, headphones in and playing his DS-Lite again. He pulls one headphone to the side so he can hear, and glances back towards Lian before looking around.

"'Off'?" Teddy scoffs and chuckles. "Lian, we live in the most developed country in the world, and for recreational purposes, we're peeing against trees, eating canned goods, and sleeping on the ground. Looking for more 'off' than that?"

"Thanks Spear-and-Magic-Helmet. That's real helpful." Lian says, eating her marshmallow straight from the stick and spitting out the occasional piece of green wood.

Iris focuses on roasting another marshmallow.

"I saw something like this in a movie once," she says absent-mindedly trilling it around on the stick. "This group of teenagers goes camping, aware that they're being watched by someone, just waiting for them to fall asleep so he can pick them off one by one..."

As Ty scans about, he doesn't find what he's looking for, but he is positive he feels something, but its all around him, trying to reach him. The other's voices are getting harder and harder to follow as the green reaches out to his plant empathy.

He shakes it off as best he can. "I'm not picking up any minds out there, serial killer or otherwise, and I don't sleep, so I can keep watch on everyone." he offers.

"Thanks," Cerdian smiles, patting Ty on his back. "And seriously... I don't think it'll be a problem, Iris. You've got superspeed and just faced off with Mongul, who's more unstoppable than Jason Vorhees."

He puts his marshmallow carefully on his graham cracker, and puts on mini peanut butter cup.
