*Boy suspended in mid-air saying hi.*

Hi.

[redhaired_anita]

Don't think I've seen you before.

[its_the_mask]

I'm new.

[redhaired_anita]

This isn't normal. In case you wanted to know.

I'm Anita King - what's your name?

[its_the_mask]

I was wondering. So if it's not normal, what is it?

I'm Robin.

[redhaired_anita]

It's camp being weird again? At least it's better than being stuck in that stupid crane game.

So when'd you get here?

[its_the_mask]

Crane game?

Just under two weeks. You've been here longer, I'm guessing.

[redhaired_anita]

You move a claw around, like a crane, and try to make it grab a prize in a machine. They've got a lot of them in Hong Kong and Japan - I didn't see any when I came here.

I think... [counts on her fingers - upside-down, of course] - almost eight months, I think.

[its_the_mask]

I'm more interested in how you got inside a crane game to start with.

That's a long time.

[redhaired_anita]

Camp being weird again. That's the only reason all the weird stuff happens!

Some people've been here longer than me - can't remember who, but longer than a year.

[its_the_mask]

That's not the only reason.

That's still a long time.

[redhaired_anita]

And it's supposed to be a stupid summer camp.

Okay, what're the other reasons?

[its_the_mask]

Many of the campers and counsellors here aren't without ability.

[redhaired_anita]

I don't get what you're saying. 'Course a lot of people have weird powers and stuff.

[its_the_mask]

Then sometimes weird stuff happens because of them.

[redhaired_anita]

Someone having the power to do this to me? I could believe that, but I don't think anyone would be that bored or mean. But the crane game thing is too bizarre!
