Buffy woke up early and, after a quick run to the bathroom, sat down by the desk to get her thoughts organized. After a lot of doodling, she sighed, and gave in, and did what she really wanted to do, which was
Dear Merrick,
I don't think mom knew what she got me into with this summer camp thing. And I bet that somewhere in the afterlife, you're laughing at me. I hope you are.
I arrived late and walked into the
largest gathering of people since prom. Got my room assignment and stuff. Am in 510.
I ran into a guy named
Xander Bly who seemed friendly, and a tall girl named
Dawn who apparently knows everything about me. I may have made a very undignified retreat.
Wednesday, I
met the roomie and
signed up for workshops. Image: All about you - clothes! Wilderness Survival - that's like bbq-ing and stuff, right?
Yesterday I decided to make
pancakes for breakfast. Lunch. Whatever. Apparently food = crowd, so I met:
Nadia who helped me make pancakes and had a boss who'd been a tree.
Pip who made crepes and was French and made bad puns.
Molly who is super strong and knows where to find the ice cream. Maybe she's a slayer?
494 who is very pretty flirty and up for food experiments.
Dishes guy who's name I don't know, but he offered to do the dishes, so yay!
River who's my roomie and possibly crazy and likes ice cream and waking people up by saying there's monsters named Bertie under the bed. She dances too.
Wonder if there's a ice skating rink around here somewhere? I brought my skates just in case.
Later I wandered down to the 2nd floor, which is apparently the best floor ever (at least according to the posters), where I met:
Logan who offered me a margarita and assured me that it actually does get warm around here. He's not staying though, which is a bummer.
Cam who was very confusing and thought I had a sister, which I'm pretty sure I don't have. He knows how to make good omelettes though, so totally worth knowing.
Cordelia who knows about the slayer thing! How does she know about the slayer thing? She shouldn't know about that!
Xander who also knows who I am! But sort of explained it. It's like Galaxy Quest. Not that I watch that or anything. But with people who are the same but aren't. Like evil twins and stuff.
You have no idea what I'm talking about, do you? Or maybe you do, I don't know.
Today I'm going to find out when the cheerleading squad is having try-outs, and try very hard to not run into more people who knows who I am for no good reason.
Love,
Buffy
She finished the letter and felt better about everything. Merrick had been very annoying, but he'd known everything, and she kind of liked the thought that maybe he was watching over her even now. She put the letter into a desk drawer and went to get dressed before running off to explore the Fandom grounds some more.
