Meanwhile, Swift had just been getting back from a walk around camp, stepping through the door of the Main Lodge and up the stairs to where Jo's office would be. Swift was starting to find it a tad awkward that he was still living in Jo's office, especially now that he barely did any therapy whatsoever and also didn't feel for Jo as he used to. I'll have to ask around camp if theres anywhere else I could stay. Swift thought. But as he was about the re-enter Jo's office, the sound of the television from the TV lounge got his attention.
Walking away from the door and into the TV lounge doorway, he saw the mobster stretched out in the TV lounge, watching TV like he owned the place. Now Swift wasn't exactly that caring about the camp itself, or the kids at it (other then Marley of course), but he still felt like this man did not belong here. So, he walked over to the man, tightening his bandanna slightly as he did, and gave him a cold stare. "What do you think you are doing here sir?"

With a bounce in her step and humming a happy tune, the woman known as Katerina entered the main lodge, her trusty camera and laptop in tow, one under each arm. She could hear noises coming from the TV lounge, but otherwise, the place looked deserted. Before too long, Kat had set her equipment on one of the tables, eager to check out the footage she had recorded.
After a few minutes of setup, Kat connected the camera to the laptop and watched as the video -- Two campers playing music in the woods -- began to play. She smiled as she watched the screen, as everything looked perfect. This came as a great relief to Kat, because after spending the greater part of your morning running around in the woods, documenting whatever looked like it could make an interesting story, it would be a great letdown to finally realize that, the entire time, there was a piece of lint on your camera lens. But there wasn't, and so far, the footage looked fine.

Swift was about to comment when the man had left the room and gone down the stairs. Swift hated throughly being ignored in such a manner and stood there for a few moments, his fist trembling with rage, then sucked up the rage within him once more and quickly fallowed after the man.
But he stopped when he saw the man sit down near the girl. Of course....he's a skirt chaser....why must I deal with these freaks? Swift sighed with this thought and went over to where Donny now sat, sitting on the other side of the table, giving the man a glare. "I don't think I've seen you around camp. Who are you exactly? Do you have a job here at camp, because if you don't, you should leave this camp."

(Remember Kat is Greek lol. Lucky for me, the accent doesn't need to be typed, because Kat's isn't particularly thick~)
Perhaps because she was was so engrossed in her own work, Kat hadn't noticed when Donny had come bounding down the stairs. Of course, when she suddenly found him in complete violation of her personal space, it was all she could do to not jump out of her skin (and her seat) in shock.
"Oh, um... Helloooo..." She gave a weak smile, perhaps in an attempt to hide her surprise and slight disturbance at the man's.... friendliness. Grasping her laptop and camera, Kat scooted a few inches away from Donny, right before a tall, irritated cowboy made his appearance.
Something told her this wasn't going to end well...

Let it be known, Swift may have looked like a cowboy, but he did not think like one. He was smarter then he looked and even though it was obvious Donny had been working on something, the question was what? He shook this off and instead forced a smile. "I apologize sir. I'm the assistant counselor here at camp, you may call me Swift." He still didn't trust this guy, but kept his cool about him. "So, what is your name then?"

Kat had managed to scoot quite a bit away from Donny by the time he had asked her if she wanted a... soda. She paused the video before speaking, not wanting to seem rude.
"No, I'm fine, thank you..." Kat said with yet another smile. Well, in any case, this man didn't SEEM like a bad person, so she probably had no real reason to be as nervous as she was. While the man called 'Swift' spoke, Kat took a deep breath, and exhaled. Afterwords, she was a much calmer woman, and much more willing to talk. Especially since it felt like the bad feeling she had before seemed to disappear, for the moment.

"Likewise." Swift still didn't trust the man though. It didn't seem like he was telling the truth. That 'Carlo' might possibly not be his real name. But Swift shrugged this off and tried to remain pleasant. "So 'Carlo', judging by your tools, you must be in charge of repairing things here at camp, correct?" Meanwhile, Swift studied the man over. He certainly looked fit to work.

"Oh, uh... Well, I'm Katerina. It's a pleasure to meet you!" She said with a friendly smile, not one of those nervous little grins, before her attempt at initiating a handshake with Donny, or, as she knew him, 'Carlo'.
"I was just checking out this footage here on my laptop. I worked all morning recording this... Would you two like to see it?" Kat spoke in the same proud way a parent might speak of their child, a pleasant expression lighting her features the entire time. Her eyes moved from Donny to Swift as she watched for a response from either man, eager to show her handiwork to whoever appeared the slightest bit interested.
(lol lame post is lame)

An anxious looking but woman slowly walked into the main lodge as if trying not to be seen. This all changed though when she saw her best friend in the whole wide world. Riley also saw a man kissing her hand and blushed. Riley was always awkward, but she was especially awkward when it came to men seeing as she had always been a little boy-crazy but always too shy to talk to them.
She inched her way over to Kat and Donny... But suddenly froze when she saw Swift. He was tall and intimidating and Riley hoped he hadn't seen her despite how she was one of the few people in the room. She looked at Donny and he seemed like a nice enough guy. He was being nice to Kat. Riley quickly stood next to him and in front of Kat out of instinct and smiled and waved at Kat.

Swift made a small scoffing sound in his throat at Donny kissing Kat's hand, looking away from the two and noticing Riley soon standing near them. The new woman here seemed to be a rather paranoid person from the look of it and at the same time, she looked somewhat familiar. Not in a way that he had met her before but in a way like she was related to someone who looked like that, but he shrugged it off and gave her a warm smile from beneath his bandanna. "Why hello there ma'am. You must be new to this camp, correct? I don't think I've seen you here before." His icy blue eyes once more had a lighter, softer tone to them.

"Oh hi, Riley!" Kat jumped up at the sight of her friend, momentarily forgetting about Donny, Swift, and her footage. She embraced Riley tightly, then beamed at the woman before her as she released her grip, keeping a protective arm around Riley's shoulders.
"What are you doing here?... Oh, yeah! Let me introduce you; This tall guy here is... Well, I never caught his name." Kat gestured towards the aforementioned man, before turning her attention back onto the fellow she had been sitting with.
"And this is Carlo! He's nice! I think he fixes things." She said before flashing a smile in Donny's general direction. Inside, Kat was hoping that 'Carlo' was truly as nice as he portrayed himself, that it wasn't just an act. Oh, she could handle it, sure, but Riley, on the other hand... Well, all she could hope for was a pleasant introduction between her friend, Swift, and 'Carlo'.

Riley smiled at the hug and hugged back, glad that Kat was happy to see her. After the hug she then turned to Donny and smiled sheepishly, "Oh, hello Mr. Carlos... So you're the camp handyman? That's nice..." she sounded a bit nervous, like she always did, but she assumed that Donny was a friend of Kat's, and anyone who was a friend of Kat's was a friend of hers.
She then turned and looked Swift up and down, her pupils shrinking. Not only was he tall, but his face was concealed and he had an intimidating aura about him. Riley felt uncomfortable, but tried to hide it and be polite under the circumstances. It was easier to be brave when Kat was around, "Um hello to you too..." She said as she nodded her head.
She turned back to Kat and smiled, "Oh I was just stopping in to say hi I guess... Didn't you say you had a video? I mean I might of misheard... I do that sometimes... Heh..." she said nervously. Riley didn't exactly seem like the most confident person at even a first glance. She blushed when looked at, and all of her smiles were sheepish.

Swift felt a bit like he was missing out on something. Maybe it was just the fact that Kat and Riley seemed all 'buddy-buddy' with each other and seemed to trust the guy with tools (that could easily be used as weapons) over the guy who was trying to be nice and just looked and little.....intimidating. Sighing mentally, he got up and walked over to where the group was so he could see the video, sitting near Donny and casting a sort of glare at him before focusing on the laptop.

"You heard right, I do have some footage!" Kat exclaimed excitedly, demeanor cheerful. She wanted to keep the mood happy and friendly, so that Riley would feel more at ease. She removed her arm from her friend's shoulders before, before propping one arm on the table and leaning over the laptop, too excited to sit down. Besides, she'd probably just be getting up again in a minute...
Kat gestured with a quick tug of the head for Riley to come closer, before adjusting the position of the laptop so that it'd be easier for those wishing to watch the video to see the screen.
"See, now," She said as the video began to play once more. "I think this scene would be good during a segment on how the... what is it called, 'psitanium'? Has effected the animal population here..." The footage she was referring to was that of a bear, knocking a beehive out of a tree from a safe distance with it's telekinetic claw. This would've been fine, if it hadn't appeared as if the person recording was in the tree while the hive was knocked down a branch below them...
"Heh, and those bees were so angry at that bear, they didn't even notice me! See, this part, you can see the bear -- Oh, he was pretty close, wasn't he?-- swatting the bees with his psychic claw! Took out half the hive in one swipe!" Kat mimed the animal's actions by swiping the hair with her free hand, fingers bent like claws. Apparently, to her, recording a telekinetic bear fighting off a hive of irate honeybees barely 5 feet below the tree branch you're sitting on was... something casual.

As Riley watched the video she paled. She was shivering as the video progressed, "Y-Y-Y-Y-YOU WERE THAT CLOSE?!!" she was shuddering and twitching at the closeness of the footage and the image of the bear. The fact that there were bears like that at the camp suddenly made her feel very uneasy, "Oh... Oh my god...." she said as she paled even more, her golden skin turning a light yellow, "Kat you... You were th-"
Riley suddenly became very woozy and her knees buckled. She fell to the ground but didn't pass out. Her legs just weren't working she was that shocked. She tried to pull herself back up onto the seat but she couldn't. She was so embarrassed that she sighed and stayed where she was, awkwardly chuckling.
