Demonic- Peace peoples, just so you know, Krystine is one of the most innocent OC characters I've ever made... so far.
Kaito- and please review! I'm getting paid three dollars for each one you send!
Demonic- Shut up and get back to work slacker! Who here can imagine Krystine or Lazlo as an Emo?
Kaito- I can!
Demonic- *glares with now red eyes*
Kaito- *whimpers and creeps away*
The loud blast of a horn came from the center of the camp, so loud that it woke everyone in the entire camp and some in Acorn Flats. It also made Krystine shoot out of bed and nearly through the roof that morning. "WHERE'S THE FIRE?" She screamed. Nurse Leslie wheeled inside in a hurry.
"You okay?" Krystine's heart was pounding as she clutched it, breathing hard from the shock.
"What was that?" Her green eyes were wide and terrified. The nurse chuckled lightly and hid his amusement behind his clipboard.
"That was just to wake everyone up. You know how everything works around here by now right?" He asked, checking some things on his clipboard, he left before she even answered. Krystine sighed and steadied her racing heart. She quickly changed into some suitable clothing. Something tapped on the window, she opened it with a twitch of her finger and Lazlo climbed inside.
"Hey Krys!"
"Krys?"
"Yeah! Since Krystine is kind of a mouth full, I thought maybe a nickname would be pretty cool."
"I guess, so what are you doing here?"
"Just checking if you're ready for breakfast. They're serving oatmeal today!" Lazlo said excitedly. Krystine(or Krys) stifled a giggle and nodded.
"Let's go then, since you're so excited." They both climbed out the window holding hands, and didn't let go the entire way to the mess hall. "Uh, Lazlo. You can let go of my hand now." The orange monkey looked at their hands, seeing as he was holding her yellow one. He let go and blushed slightly.
"Uh, sorry. Let's go in then shall we?"
"Sure, you think that chef will let us put something in the oatmeal?" He opened the door to see that the entire mess hall was totally silent, Slinkman was making an announcement before anyone ate. "What's going on here?" She whispered as both of them sat at their regular spots with their food.
"I don't know, but hush!" Raj whispered.
"Okay scouts, we're having another sacrifice to the volcano today after lunch, and in four days, there is going to be the annual mascot games with the Squirrel scouts. So anyone who wants to participate for our camp may go try out." Then Slinkman stepped off anf the chatting resumed.
"What's a mascot? Are we playing hide-n-seek with the squirrel scouts?" Krystine asked, spooning some bland oatmeal into her mouth.
"A mascot is-"
"-a person that dresses up to represent the camp. Not that you'd know Lazlo." Edward cut in giving that rude tone. Krystine narrowed her eyes at him, how could he be so mean?
"Yep! Are you going to be the mascot again this year Edward?" Lazlo didn't even pay attention to the rude tone and just smiled.
"I'm going to let someone else try out this year, let them experience the FUN that I did..." Edward said, smiling evilly before leaving.
"So Krys, why don't you come to our cabin later? Raj said earlier that he wanted to show you his record collection." Raj elbowed him in the arm. "What?"
"I don remember saying that. And why do you have a nickname for her now?" Raj raised an eyebrow at Lazlo's weird behavior.
Lazlo laughed nervously for a second then whispered into Raj's ear. "Sorry, but I just thought maybe you guys could hang out more, you know?"
"I don't mind the name Krys. I kinda like it." Krystine said, giving a shy smile.
"See?"
"So what's a record?" Raj looked at her like she had five heads.
"How could you not know what a record is?" Raj asked, waving his arms back and forth.
"Deprived!"
"I'll say! We are going to our cabin right this minute!" The elephant led the way to the cabin and Lazlo opened the door.
"Thank you." She said before walking in. Clam gave Lazlo a sly look before he went in.
"This..." Raj held up one of his favorite records. "is a record. OH NO!" Krystine tilted her head in confusion. "IT'S SCRATCHED! AND THIS IS A REALLY RARE RECORD!"
"Here, let me see." Krystine said. She took the record out of his hand and inspected the small scratch on the surface. "This is really simple to fix."
"How? Repairing records is really-" A bright green flash hit their eyes.
"Okay, it should be good now." She said, handing the now scratchless record back. Raj's mouth was agape. Clam held out a broken airplane toy to her.
"Fix this?" He asked. Another flash and it was back to normal. He wooped in joy and ran outside.
"I LIKE having a witch for a friend!" Raj exclaimed. A loud horn blasted through the entire camp. Raj placed his record back into the case and ran out.
'What's going on?" Krystine asked.
"Its time for the official sacrifice to the volcano. So we all don't get eaten up by lava." Krys still had question marks popping out of her head. "I'll explain the whole story to you on the way, just go find your favorite food and we'll all go to the volcano together!" Lazlo said while pulling out a banana from under his bed. Krystine ran out of the cabing and to the kithen.
"Oh, hello little girl. Care to sample my special onion stew?" Chef asked, holding up a spoonful.
"I'm awfully sorry mister chef, but is there any chance you can spare one carrot?" The bunny had developed a taste for them ever since she became an animal. "I'm sacrificing it to the volcano everyone keeps talking about." She said innocently.
"No, because that would be a waste of perfectly good food. Being a chef, I cannot waste food and I need to-"
"Pleeeeeeease Mister?" She asked with really big green eyes. Even adding a tiny sniffle, like she was threatining to cry. The Chef melted a bit at her cuteness. He handed her half a carrot and she huged him thankfully. Then left skipping the whole way.
"That girl is too innocent looking for her own good..." He muttered while chopping some onions.
Outside
"Where is the jelly bean cabin? They were supposed to be here two minutes ago." Slinkman said, massaging his eyestalks from the stress. All of the scouts stood at the base of the volcano.
"They're all probably goofing off like usual." Edward said with his usual mean tone.
"We're here!" Lazlo called out.
"Ah good! Now, every year we give the volcano our favorite foods so that-" Slinkman began the old legend.
"So what did you bring?" Krystine asked. Clam held out some rocks.
"Rocks!"
"I brought my favorite marshmallows." Raj said, holding three puffy marshmallows.
"I got a banana. My faaaaaveorite food!" Lazlo said, hugging his banana.
"Recently, I've developed a strong taste for carrots." Krystine said, holding up her carrot. Everyone but them and the dung beetles had already gone and sacrificed.
"Alright then, Chip, Skip, what is your favorite food and why?" The dung beetles came to the rim of the volcano.
"We are going to sacrifice these crayons, because we like how they color our teeth." Chip said. Skip showed his teeth and they were multiple colors. They threw their crayons into the lava.
"Now, Jelly beans!" Lazlo, Raj, and Clam lined up.
"Banana! Because they are very delicous!" Lazlo dropped his banana in with a hilarious expression. Krystine bit back a giggle. "Rocks! Crunchy!" Clam threw in his rocks.
"I will sacrifice my marshmallows, they are cushony pillows of sugar." Raj dropped in his marshmallows and a tear slipped down from his eye. Clam patted his back as they went down the volcano.
"Alright then! Is there anyone left?" Slinkman asked.
"Ooooh Oooh! You forgot Krys!" Lazlo called out, taking Krys's hand and pulling her up next to Slinkman.
"Alright then ahem... do you mmind if I call you Krys as well?" He asked. He's never had to do the ceremony with a little girl before.
"Nope!" She shook her head and her bunny ears bounced.
"Okay then, Krys. You know the drill." She held her carrot out to the volcano.
"I sacrifice this carrot, because I really like how the sweetness of the vegetable caresses my tongue ever so much with the crunchiness." She said. When the description came out, it sounded more like she was reciting a poem rather than describing a small vegetable. She dropped the carrot and watched as the lava boiled.
"Now if only Scoutmaster Lumpus will get over here and make his sacrifice..." Slinkman muttered. The volcano flared. "I am sorry oh spirit! I will fetch him at once!"
"We'll help you Slinkman!" Lazlo said. Raj and Clam nodded their agreement.
"Yes! Let's go fetch Scoutmaster Lumpus then!" Raj exclaimed.
"GO!" Clam yelled.
"Thanks boys. It means a lot to all of Camp Kidney."
"Are you coming too Krys?" Lazlo asked as everyone else ran down the volcano.
"No, you guys go on. I've never met a volcano spirit before." She said, watching with great interest.
"Okay then, see you later then." He waved and she waved back with a smile. A now toasty Slinkman ran to the scoutmasters cabin and opened the door. Right now the scoutmaster was about to indulge himself on some steak when it was whipped off his plate.
"Slinkman! Give that back!" Lumpus yelled as Slinkman ran out of the cabin and towards the volcano.
"No! Noone wants to be burned to a crisp this year!" Slinkman yelled back as he climbed.
I sense great power in you child, tell me, are you a being of the light or darkness? The volcano asked.
"I am indeed of the light. A witch to be exact." Krystine replied.
How rare, a witch of your age to be working for the light. Slinkman ran up and threw the steak into the mouth of the volcano. Lumpus dove in after it.
"Oh my word!" Krystine shrieked. The jelly beans came up behind her and they all watched as Lumpus was burned up, then flew out of the volcano. "Oooooooh..." They all flinched.
