(Just so everyone knows, the plague within me continues. While I can breathe again just fine, I am still coughing, and I've got a sinus infection. If the pain gets worse, I'm logging and taking some serious drugs, cause it feels like my upper jaw is trying to detach itself. Fair warning to people)
Kaia Skaare (Jan 15, 2011 10:23:36 PM)
::Kaia had rented a huuuuuge Suburban, enough to fill with people, tents, sleeping supplies, personal supplies and an abundance of food. Kaia glanced to people in the car's review:: Shall we go directly for snow, or unpack at the campsite first?
Elise Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 10:24:58 PM)
I vote for unpacking. *sitting next to Bastian*
Lukas Vangelis (Jan 15, 2011 10:25:04 PM)
*lifting his head, he nods agreement*
Bastian Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 10:25:19 PM)
Perhaps campsite first? It's a bitch to pitch a tent after a day of rigorous exercise and possible drinking... add in night time... *shrug*
Kaia Skaare (Jan 15, 2011 10:26:13 PM)
::she grins:: What makes you think I packed alcohol? ::she nodded and peeked into the directions in Mark's lap, before pointing: We're going there... first.
Lukas Vangelis (Jan 15, 2011 10:26:36 PM)
~ws~ I still don't see what's so horrible about sleeping in the car..
Elise Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 10:26:38 PM)
Uh...we brought alcohol. *shrugging, looking at Bastian*
Kaia Skaare (Jan 15, 2011 10:27:38 PM)

Lukas Vangelis (Jan 15, 2011 10:29:05 PM)
*rolls over on his back and wriggles in his clean laundry lazily before resettling with his legs to one side and his forepaws half-folded to dangle over his chest* ~ws~ Big warm carpeted car..no rocks in my back..
Bastian Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 10:29:18 PM)
*Offers Elise some trail mix he is munching on.*
Elise Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 10:29:34 PM)
*she looks at Kaia in the rearview before looking out the window at the scenery, shaking her head to the offer, smiling a little* No thanks.
Mark Renner (Jan 15, 2011 10:30:40 PM)
*looking back at Lukas* No fresh air when you fart.
Kaia Skaare (Jan 15, 2011 10:31:07 PM)
::she winks to Elise, and pulls off, making a few turns, snow on the ground already for the past hour:: I reserved one of the far away campsi-..... Are we anticipating lots of that? ::raising a brow::
Lukas Vangelis (Jan 15, 2011 10:31:08 PM)
~ws~ Crack a window, brain-trust.
Lukas Vangelis (Jan 15, 2011 10:31:39 PM)

High protien diets.... *He nods sagely.*
Kaia Skaare (Jan 15, 2011 10:33:50 PM)
That's... fabulous. ... ::shaking her head a bit:: So yeah... far away campsite... on the edges of the site. Should be firewood supplied...
Bastian Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 10:35:31 PM)
*He pickes out a few pieces of candied pineapple and chews on them chuckling softly.*
Elise Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 10:36:10 PM)
*she changes her mind, reaching into the bag of trailmix, watching out the window, fingers sorting through the bag till they find some almonds to munch*
Mark Renner (Jan 15, 2011 10:36:50 PM)
*nods his head at the campsite locations*
Kaia Skaare (Jan 15, 2011 10:38:39 PM)
::she pulls off at the campsite and pulls off at the office, sliding out of the seat. She looks to Mark and then points down the road:: Follow that for a 1/4 mile and we're campsite 16D.... I'm going to check in. I'll walk to meet you guys... okay?
Bastian Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 10:38:40 PM)
Mark, I should have bought an ascot and a turtleneck. We could have rolled like yuppies when we hit the lodge.
Kaia Skaare (Jan 15, 2011 10:39:42 PM)
(going to be afk for a little bit, making some hot tea) ::Kaia slips into the office, getting any information and making sure of the campsite as well.:
Elise Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 10:40:02 PM)

Bastian Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 10:41:17 PM)
*A random thought hits him and he laughs.*
Mark Renner (Jan 15, 2011 10:41:44 PM)
*Nods and slides over to the drivers seat and travels down the directions to the campsite and pulls in*
Bastian Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 10:42:08 PM)
I hope we don't roll up and find some spooky mystery... This is not exactly the mystery machine but, the 5 of us could fake it.
Lukas Vangelis (Jan 15, 2011 10:43:35 PM)
~ws~ Ruh roh rhaggy.
Elise Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 10:44:14 PM)
Oh man....do I have to be Velma. *she frowns distastefully*
Bastian Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 10:45:34 PM)
Who played Velma in the movie again?
Elise Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 10:46:01 PM)
*she shrugs*
Mark Renner (Jan 15, 2011 10:46:08 PM)

Bastian Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 10:51:19 PM)
This is also true. But, weren't they all pretty broken. I mean really.
Kaia Skaare (Jan 15, 2011 10:52:04 PM)
::Kaia checked in at the office and began the walk back, checking out the site map as she walked::
Elise Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 10:52:12 PM)
*she shakes her head* I guess. I don't know. I didn't like the movie as much. Didn't have Casey Kasum doing all the voices of all the other characters like the cartoon did.
Bastian Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 10:53:05 PM)
That is what life is missing... Casey Kasum as a voice over announcer...
Bastian Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 10:53:30 PM)
We need narration damn it.
Elise Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 10:54:00 PM)
*she shakes her head again* And they couldn't have gotten ...I don't know, at least one other person ...to do some of those voices? I mean, how dumb do they think people are?
Mark Renner (Jan 15, 2011 10:54:13 PM)
(alright back)
Bastian Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 10:54:56 PM)
Didn't... ahhh.... shit... The guy from the Andy Griffith show do some characters?
Lukas Vangelis (Jan 15, 2011 10:55:09 PM)
*shifts up to homid in his cargo shorts and pulls his tee and hoodie over his head, skipping the coat while they're out of the mountains. Then he pops the back open and climbs out while those in the seats chat*
Mark Renner (Jan 15, 2011 10:55:16 PM)
*After getting the SUV parked he got out and stretched and looked around and back down the path towards were kaia was at*
Elise Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 10:56:23 PM)
*she shrugs* I don't remember. He still did a bunch of the voices though. More than was necessary, I think. *she reaches past Bastian to open the door, nudging him to get out*
Bastian Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 10:57:21 PM)
*He climbs out and stretching from the long ride.*
Elise Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 10:59:15 PM)
*she hops out after Bastian, pulling their duffle bag out before shutting the back door*
Bastian Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 10:59:33 PM)
*He walks around back and opens up the doors to start unloading the camping gear and placing it in a pile in the middle of the campsite.*
Elise Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 11:01:30 PM)
*she slings the duffle bag on one shoulder, moving to the back to get the cooler of drinks out, carrying both things towards the other pile of stuff*
Lukas Vangelis (Jan 15, 2011 11:01:38 PM)
*the back doors were open already where Lukas had climbed out, he helps Bastian unload gear, sorting it as he goes to put what's needed for each individual tent in a different stack*
Mark Renner (Jan 15, 2011 11:01:42 PM)
*Moving around back to help everyone else out in the unloading and stuff he piles the various tents in one pile and other gear in a pile along the edge of the trees*

::Kaia comes down the road, bending down to scoop up some snow.... calmly forming a ball in her skilled hands::
Lukas Vangelis (Jan 15, 2011 11:02:06 PM)
... *stops and looks at the three different sorting methods and just starts laughing*
Bastian Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 11:02:32 PM)
*He takes Elise and his tent and laughs as he starts setting it up...*
Mark Renner (Jan 15, 2011 11:02:49 PM)
*Looks at Lukas* Okay so how you want to do this?
Bastian Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 11:02:54 PM)
We can tell we are not a military unit.
Elise Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 11:03:38 PM)
Why? They don't have coolers?
Bastian Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 11:04:32 PM)
No, we just all started unpacking and sorting in different ways... It was cool... but, no one was doing the same thing.
Lukas Vangelis (Jan 15, 2011 11:04:47 PM)
Nah.. we are too many different military units. *chuckling* Food and cooking crap in one pile with the tarp and poles.. tents sorted out so we can set them up and ah.. that'll do it.
Mark Renner (Jan 15, 2011 11:05:15 PM)
*nods and starts using Lukas's method of unpacking*
Elise Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 11:06:04 PM)
*she shrugs, putting her stuff down, moving to help get their tent set up*
Lukas Vangelis (Jan 15, 2011 11:06:26 PM)
*once all the poles and tarp are seperated.. he moves to get the central area set up..to keep the rest of the shit dry in case of rain while they work on tents*
Bastian Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 11:09:30 PM)
(has baby in lap... slow to type.)
Kaia Skaare (Jan 15, 2011 11:10:35 PM)

*when he's done.. it's nothing Bob Vila would approve of.. but it's stable and dry!*
Bastian Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 11:10:51 PM)
*He smiles putting up the dome tent with efficiency with Elise's help.*
Kaia Skaare (Jan 15, 2011 11:10:53 PM)
(Bob Vila would've built a cabin)
Elise Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 11:10:59 PM)

(hugs E)
Mark Renner (Jan 15, 2011 11:11:16 PM)
*After everything was seperated into the various piles he starts putting together the poles for the larger tent* So any.... *turns as he gets beamed with a snowball and looks at her* Oh it's on now baby... *he grabs a handful of snow and starts making a snowball*

Mark Renner (Jan 15, 2011 11:13:30 PM)
*smiles and waits until she's just a little closer and charges her picking her up over his shoulder and buries both of them into a pile of snow*
Bastian Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 11:13:58 PM)
*He laughs watching the two in the snow.*
Kaia Skaare (Jan 15, 2011 11:15:11 PM)
Ack! Wait! Nooooooo! ::lands in the snow:: Ow! ::rattling something off in Icelandic, looking up at him, a hand over her middle:: Not -better- yet...
Mark Renner (Jan 15, 2011 11:16:22 PM)
*looks at her in the snow and whispers something to her then dumps a little snow on her hair and helps her up*
Lukas Vangelis (Jan 15, 2011 11:17:30 PM)
*looks over at the cursing and comment from Kaia* .. You hurt?
Kaia Skaare (Jan 15, 2011 11:18:06 PM)
::she shakes her head, waving off what he said and got up, shaking the snow off her head.... and pausing..... :: A few deep scratches... I'm okay. Not serious.
Mark Renner (Jan 15, 2011 11:18:18 PM)
She's got a scratch on her stomach from the day she gave me the black eye when I scared the crap out of her and we fell on top of each other.
Lukas Vangelis (Jan 15, 2011 11:19:44 PM)
I figured the antiseptic stench in the car was Bastian or Mark. *shakes his head*
Kaia Skaare (Jan 15, 2011 11:20:10 PM)
::she blushed a bit:: That.. was me.
Mark Renner (Jan 15, 2011 11:22:01 PM)
*after helping her up he moved back to help set up the tents*
Kaia Skaare (Jan 15, 2011 11:23:22 PM)
::Kaia turned around for modesty's sake and lifted her long-sleeved t-shirt, checking her stomach before lowering it again, rubbing it lightly, before eyeing the coolers:: Maybe keep them in the truck... so we have no bear problems?
Lukas Vangelis (Jan 15, 2011 11:23:34 PM)
Alright then.. So.. Food's got to stay in the car when we're not here...*nodding*
Kaia Skaare (Jan 15, 2011 11:23:47 PM)
::she grins to Lukas:: Exactly.
Lukas Vangelis (Jan 15, 2011 11:23:49 PM)
Not that a bear is a problem.. but I'd be annoyed if it ate my lunch.
Kaia Skaare (Jan 15, 2011 11:24:02 PM)
And I packed some gooood stuff, guys...
Bastian Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 11:26:08 PM)
We'll debate on the concept of good stuff...
Mark Renner (Jan 15, 2011 11:26:13 PM)
*Looks over at her and when she got close enough he asked her a question quietly*
Lukas Vangelis (Jan 15, 2011 11:26:23 PM)
I'll eat while you debate.
Bastian Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 11:26:32 PM)
*He smiles as he gets the bedrolls in their tent and sets the rest of their gear in there.*
Lukas Vangelis (Jan 15, 2011 11:27:37 PM)
Anyone else need a tent set up? Looks like one's done.. *nodding to Bastian and Elise's room*
Mark Renner (Jan 15, 2011 11:28:25 PM)
I can set up the larger one if ya help. Takes two people to keep it upright while lifting the poles.
Lukas Vangelis (Jan 15, 2011 11:30:57 PM)
Who's using the larger one? *chuckles, but moves to help*
Mark Renner (Jan 15, 2011 11:31:36 PM)
(we were supposed to have Andy, Anneliese, and Scratchy too)
Kaia Skaare (Jan 15, 2011 11:31:39 PM)
::she whispered quietly to Mark and then smiled:: I went and bought steaks... some niiiiiice big ones. They're marinating in the coolers. Andy got salmon... that's the only tease you get for knowing what dinner is...
Lukas Vangelis (Jan 15, 2011 11:33:10 PM)
((This is true. lol Okay)) *thwaps the back of Mark's knees with one of the tent poles once it's unfolded..whie Kaia distracts him*

That better be all you say, after scraping up my ward. *smirks* Pick up the poles and stop drooling over the menu.
Mark Renner (Jan 15, 2011 11:37:09 PM)
Hey she gave better then she got and I walked around for two days wearing that shiner proudly.
Bastian Schmitz (Jan 15, 2011 11:37:28 PM)
( I thought you were going to the store to buy her her organic foods... Oh that was Anne.)

*He chuckles as he offers to help set up the big tent.*
Kaia Skaare (Jan 15, 2011 11:38:27 PM)
Better than I got? Did you see the bruise on my ribs?
Lukas Vangelis (Jan 15, 2011 11:39:24 PM)
*hands Bastian the poles then and unfolds the tent on the flattest space he can find*
Mark Renner (Jan 15, 2011 11:39:25 PM)

Mark Renner (Jan 15, 2011 11:55:57 PM)
*Waits until Kaia is done changing before he gets his stuff and goes and changes, he's got some underarmor longjohns on and a long sleeve underarmor shirt on and then a heavy sweat shirt and a pair of light ski pants. Exiting the tent he's ready to do some snowboarding and ski'ing*
Lukas Vangelis (Jan 15, 2011 11:56:36 PM)

::Kaia's got some thermals under her thin snowpants, she had on a thermal long sleeved shirt, her long sleeved t-shirt, her snow boots for now, a light jacket, and a scarf, and sunglasses, pushed on her head.
