"Was it a good smell?"

[Condensation she/her]

"No, it was really gross."

[xinoehp512 he/him]

"I shall endeavor to keep it away from oatmeal, then."

[Condensation she/her]

"Thanks. We don't want this new tent smelling like burnt oats." Melody smiled.

[xinoehp512 he/him]

There was a flash and a boom of thunder as lightning struck nearby.

 

[Condensation she/her]

Melody jumped. "That was loud."

[xinoehp512 he/him]

There was a rustling at the entrance to the tent.

Ellis sat up. "What was that?"

Melody looked at Ellis skeptically. "What rustling noise? I didn't hear anything."

"Well, you've got goo stuck in your brain."

"And you've lost your memories. Maybe you got bonked on the head really hard? You could be going crazy."

Ellis sighed. "Gerald? Q? Arthur? Did you guys hear anything?"

"I heard it," said Gerald, making an expression equivalent to an eyebrow furrow. 

[Condensation she/her]

"Hmm... well, you could both be going crazy."

Q was already alert and watching the entrance, her hand splayed out to summon her blade. She didn't say anything, but only watched the entrance.

The rustling came again.

Q got up on her feet and started to inch slowly towards the entrance. She was utterly silent when she reached the tent door, reaching out and slowly and quietly unzipping the door. She let out a quiet breath, then opened the door, pointing her now summoned blade outside.

[Condensation she/her]

"Yeah, I heard it that time. Guess we're all going crazy!" Melody snuggled into her sleeping bag, then froze. "Or it's actually there."

A robotic tentacle pushed the blade to the side as Dr. Who Octopus entered the tent.

"Hey! You're not allowed in here! Leave Gerald alone!"

[xinoehp512 he/him]

Dr. Who Octopus pushed his way further into the tent. "Oh, I make a point of not following the rules."

[Condensation she/her]

"It's not a rule. It's a guideline for your safety."

[Channelknight Fadran]

"What in tarnation?" Ellis yelped.
