Camping

[daringyoungman]

Okay, so.

Selina and Dick want to go camping. Dick's asked permission, and while there will be a proper adult-organized trip later in the summer, they're wondering if anyone is crazy like them and willing to sleep outside in tents while it's still mild.

If there aren't any kids wanting to come with, they're happy to do it alone, but would anyone be interested in a party-style post in the next week or so for who-thought-camping-in-early-June was a good idea shenanigans?

 - ETA: OKAY PARTY POST IT IS. It'll go up... sometime this week.

Gyda would love to come!

[sunbaked_baker]

Rae would definitely be interested. :D

Fry would like to come if they'll have him. Either Bonnie or Guppy are happy to be the adult on site for safety (particularly since Fry may well be awake by 5am)

The Gothamites might be planning ghost stories. Would that be a problem for Fry? I'm sure we will keep them to typical camp site fair, PG at the most.

[fry_sandhu]

Fry is squeamish about gory things (blood, murder, cannibalism) but not so much about scary things if you make it clear to him at the beginning that it's only a story. It might also frighten him if everyone suddenly screams.

If you want to do gory, whichever supervising adult out of Bonnie or Guppy who comes with him can take him off for half an hour.

I am not certain about gore. I know I aim for suspense and weird in my ghost stories and Selina's Gotham isn't yet comic book level of villains, so most of her stuff is going to be urban legends. With younger kids* about, i know she will tone things down and keep an eye on how the kids are reacting to it.

*Her definition of younger is fluid. From more than a year younger than her, to even a little older if they've had a comfortable home life.

And Dick can't tell the scariest stories because all of them come from Bruce. :)

[herr_bookman]

This is a brilliant idea. I'm in.

William might be interested though they'll have to explain to him why sleeping outside is special since he does all the time. But he is really good at campfire cooking as that's part of his life and is old enough to be an almost adult.

Does Cyborg still count as a kid? I've done the math, and he's over 21, but he doesn't act like it. And he could be like a chaperone, since he likes being a big brother to kids who aren't Beast Boy.

[fry_sandhu]

I think some of the oldest Scouts are over 20; you just have to be kid-friendly and suitably entertained by stuff aimed at 13-19 year olds.

If he wants to join up and get his free hoodie/be eligable for badges I'm just doing the Patrol lists this weekend.

[daringyoungman]

Would Cy be responsible enough to be 'the adult' in charge of Fry?

[sdelmonte]

I want to say something like "he knows how to handle Beast Boy," a less facetious reply would be that he's used to Raven and Starfire's non-Terran-standard behavior, and has a fairly good amount of patience. So I think he could manage it. I hope.

:D

I am really looking forward to Dick hearing about the Teen Titans. Maybe he'll steal the name when he meets Roy, Donna and Wally.

Question - would Cy have heard of Dick, the ward of Bruce Wayne?

[sdelmonte]

I don't think so. Bruce Wayne is famous, of course, but I don't think him having a ward would have been national news (especially since I think Cy ignored the news till he became Cyborg).
