The next day, over at camp. A couple of the Grizzlies were still feeling conflicted about how they won the last challenge, particular Post and Grace, who found the former sitting by the stairs to the mess hall. "Hey." she greeted.

"Hey." he dully returned.

"Still hung up on the last challenge?"

"A little, I wished our first win would have been one we earned, not because of some dirty trick and harsh words." Post sighed. "Where I'm from the almost everyone got by through robing, cheating, and possibly murder."

"Geesh."

"Yeah, so seeing Uma get the win in the way she did brought back some pretty bad memories." Post then looked towards the chillaxer, "I'm hoping that once my music career kicks off I could get my message of goodwill and kindness across... and hopefully make a difference to where I live."

"That's an admirable goal for you Post." Grace told him. "You mind if I hear some of your music?"

"Well, this is what I got so far." Post pulls out a notepad, after clearing his throat he raps a couple lyrics "Postmaster P y'all, spreading positivi-ty y'all. Violence and guns rule this community, but me and my crew have unity. Coming from the depths of the hood, telling you to just be good."

Grace hums in thought, "Its got promise and a good message, but the lyrics could use some work."

"I know."

"Hey man, just stay positive." Grace tells him before heading into the mess hall for breakfast. Post shakes his head with a light smile, usual he's the one saying that.

(BZZT)

Post: Aside from Uma, my teammates are pretty cool. I hope our next win will be because of hard work and good play.

Grace: At first I thought Uma was just some super flirty ho looking for a good time, but then yesterday happened.

Uma: I don't know what my team's so upset about, there have been much worse ways people got victory on this show. Like I'm the first one on TD to flash an opponent during a challenge.

(BZZT)

Inside the mess hall, the Panthers were all sitting at their table. Though 2 of them were sitting a little far off from their teammates, Andrius on one end with Krystal on the other. The latter hardly touching their breakfast lobster, seeing her state Orion sighs before moving to sit next to her.

"Hey" the rich girl looks up to him with a bummed out look, "you feeling alright?" Krystal shrugged. "Still thinking about what happened during the dodgeball challenge?" her looking away was all the confirmation he needed. "Don't listen to her, she was way out of line." Orion gave a quick glare to Uma, who responded with an air kiss.

He shuddered, "No, she wasn't." he turned back to Krystal "She's right when she said I use money to get attention, you and Maybelle were the only real friends I had. And what did I do, I tossed you aside." While Orion was trying to comfort Krystal, the other twin took a seat next to the smallest camper here.

"Hey Andree, how's my favorite short stack?" Maybelle greeted with the level of enthusiasm as the cartoon character she's based on.

"Um... fine I guess." he replied, but honestly, all he thought about was what happened after Deena was voted off.

"So, you and Deena huh?" Maybelle asked, causing Andrius to 'meep' with a blush "I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting a girl like you to fall for someone like you. No offense."

"What?" he asked confused "Maybel-.

"I mean you're small and meek, but also nice and brave. Who'd thought you'd attract the bad girl type? But anyway take my advice, though she's tough as nails and can snap a guy's neck if she wanted, she also needs someone to look out for her. Next to time you see her let her know that you'll be that person, glad we had this talk." she then went to sit with the rest of the group.

Andrius just sat there confused, "What just happened?"

(BZZT)

Andrius: Me and Deena? Does she actually like me? (shakes his head) No, that's dumb. Maybelle said it best, I'm tiny and way too shy. But why would she kiss me last night?

Maybelle: Deena talks a lot about Andrius, and I can see why she likes him.

(BZZT)

With Griff, the scientist was holding a dispenser of red chemicals over a beaker of white chemicals. "Just one drop, must be super careful. Aaaaaaaand-"

"Attention campers"

"GAAAAAAH!" Griff jumped and squirted the entire tube in, resulting in an explosion. The mask covering his face getting covered in soot.

"Meet me at the camp entrance. We're going on a little field trip for today's challenge."

"Damn it! So close." Griff sighed, "Might as well see what he has us doing this time." He cleaned up his station before heading out of the boy's cabin, meeting his fellow campers and the host where what looks like a school bus with the TD:DI logo on it.

"Alright, before we disembark I need two of the Panthers to stay behind. Please step forward"

"I'll stay." Orion volunteered as he stepped up.

"Alright, anyone else?"

Upon Greg's question, Ryo was about to say something but saw Krystal and figured she wasn't in a good head space to compete. So he lightly pushed her forward, "Hey!"

"Orion and Krystal will be sitting out for the Panthers."

"What, I didn-"

"And they'll be spared from elimination should their team fail, and will be spending the entire day here at camp. Alone, with no one else around." Greg finished.

"Oh, okay then." Krystal said. The two of them walked off to the side completely silent.

"The rest of you, onto the bus." Greg opened up the bus, the campers walked on.

Ryo gave Orion a notepad, "Take these notes and head north, that's where Greg's quarters are. There might be more hints on this camp's past, also use this time to repair your kinship with Krystal."

(BZZT)

Ryo: I looked into the challenge schedule for the season, me and Orion were gonna sit out and used the time to investigate the camp. But I figured I'd give it to Krystal, cause she could use some comforting after Uma's verbal assault and Orion is the one to help her the best.

(BZZT)

Just then Uma walked by the two, handing Krystal a small bag "You might need these." before boarding the bus, once the bus drove off Krystal looked inside the bag. And was now a blushing mess at what was inside, Orion also looked in and he too became a blushing stuttering mess. Krystal growled before screaming at the retreating vehicle "I HATE YOU!"

Uma giggled at the scream.

(BZZT)

Uma: Two people alone in the woods for a whole day, only one way that goes. Orion and Krystal will thank me when they don't have to worry about any 'unintended consequences', as for my words to her in the last challenge. Nothing personal babe.

(BZZT)

Uma then yelped when she turned to see Ryo right in her face, "What did you give her?"

"None of your fu*$ing beeswax Pasty." she scoffed before turning away from him with an indignant frown and crossed arms.

"I'm onto you Uma." he told her before heading back to his seat, which was across from Linka. "You wouldn't happen to know if Uma brought any... illicit items so to speak?"

"Looking at her, I wouldn't be to surprised if she did." Linka said, "She's a lot of things, but subtle is definitely not one of them."

"Not even a little."

"BTW, I heard that you and Orion have been looking into an incident that happened at Camp 40 years ago." Linka said.

Ryo's eyes widen ever so slightly, "When did you hear that?"

"How's not important, what is important is... I want in."

"... You... do?"

Linka nodded "Yeah, I've heard rumors about what happened that caused the camp to be shut down. Lets just say I want to see if they're true or just rumors."

"Is that all?" Ryo leaned towards her.

"Of course, why else would I have asked?" she leaned in as well, both staring at each other. Sizing the other up for what the other might throw at them.

The dramatic tension was interrupted when Uma appeared between them, "Are you two gonna kiss now?" the detective and Bland Betty glared at her for that comment.

A few rows up, Brian and Maybelle were having a little chat. "So you and Grace hooked up?" Maybelle asked.

"Totally, we just like totally connect. More so than many of my other exes, but with Grace its different." Brian said.

"And you don't care she's a Grizzly?" Maybelle questioned.

"Grizzly, Panther. Gopher, Bass. Knights, Serpents. Who cares? Those are just symbols the man uses to try and propagate social division. Its all a conspiracy of the industrial complex to stir up unnecessary drama to entertain the masses who get off on other people tearing each other apart. You feel me?" Brian looked to Maybelle, who had blinked a few times before stating.

"I have no idea what you just said."

"My point is, it doesn't matter if we're on different teams. The heart wants what it wants." Brian clarified. He looked back to Grace and waved at her before sending her an air kiss, which she returned with an air kiss of her own.
