A matching windbreaker is rolled up in her backpack. </em><br/><strong>Time:</strong><em>6:35PM June 4th; Evening</em><br/><strong>Location:</strong><em>Clearing</em><br/><strong>Tagging | Mentioning:</strong><em>Lorelei, Courtney</em><br/><hr/>After the previous couple of evenings, Faith wasn't exactly in the mood to be social, which was a little uncharacteristic for her. Faith was often the life of the party, making damn sure that she was the center of the kind of attention she desired that evening. In her social circle at home, such that it was, everyone knew their place, which was in line behind her. It was just a matter of where they were in line. This very dynamic allowed her to dowl out praise and punishment on a whim. The closer you were to her in line, the more popular you were, and it took very little to send someone to the back of the line if they stepped out. It was control, plain and simple. She needed it, so she took it. Anyone who bucked her was an outcast.<br/><br/>So, it was a little strange that Faith was not casually manipulating the social dynamic of even this tiny batch of weirdos. No, she sat just outside the circle, near her tent, her legs curled up against her chest, the light windbreaker zipped up to keep her warm, so she didn't need the fire. Maybe she didn't care enough to be involved, or she just had a lot of shit to deal with, and she wasn't in the mood.<br/><br/>Hell. Maybe she was slipping. Nah, fuck that.<br/><br/>'Great a fucking musician. There was always one. Ugh. Future camp counselor creepo,' she thought with a shake of her head watching the kid strum his guitar by the fire while people ate.  There was a half eaten hamburger on a plate next to her that she had been nibbling on and her canteen sat next to that.<br/><br/>"Psst," There came a soft noise from inside her tent. "Psst. Faith." She ignored the sound of Coral's voice, hoping she would talk the hint and leave her alone.<br/><br/>"Faaaaaaith," a little louder and more drawn out. Her eyes scanned those nearby to ensure the dragon's voice had gone unheard. Seeing no one the wiser, she dropped her chin onto her curled-up knees and did her best 'leave me the fuck alone' body language.<br/><br/>"FAITH!" The sound was a sharp his that caused her to whip her head around.<br/><br/>"What?" she hissed sharply, trying to keep the sudden anger and her voice in check. The zipper on her tent slowly unzipped, and Coral's pastel blue snout poked out, then her fluffy maned head.<br/><br/>"Aren't you supposed to be hiding when people are around?" She said pointedly and nodded in Courtney's direction.<br/><br/>"Something is wrong."<br/><br/>"Yeah, no shit. I am talking to a fucking kid's toy. Something is clearly wrong fucking wrong with me," Faith answered, sarcasm dripping from each word.<br/><br/>"No, Faith. Something is really…." A scream cut through the night, and Faith snapped her head in that direction. She was standing instantly, but her eyes couldn't make out a damn thing, having been staring at the fire only moments before. It wasn't until the girl stumbled into the camp that Faith was beginning to make out the nearby trees in any detail. Thankfully Courtney wasn't just a nice ass was a southern drawl and started barking out orders that actually made some sense.<br/><br/>"Come here," Faith stepped forward and unzipped her jacket, feeling the warm faux fur of Coral encircle her waist as she did so. When removed, she approaches the gibbering girl and puts her jacket around her shoulders.<br/><br/>"Okay, okay." She says, putting her arm around the girl to comfort her and calm her the fuck down.  The girl was shaking from more than the cold.  "Lets get you some place to sit."<br/><br/>Faith started to lead her towards the fire when someone dowses it with a sibilant "HISSSSSS." The sudden plunge into darkness causes the young woman's breath to catch in fright before the sobs continue with renewed vigor.<br/><br/>"Hey…wha…hey its…Hey…HEY…HEY!" Frustrated with the girl's interrupting sobs, Faith reached up toward her face and snapped her fingers three times, loudly. Trying to get the girl to literally snap the fuck out of it. She looks up at Faith in shock and surprise, but at least she is looking at her now.<br/><br/>"There we go…" she said, her voice much softer now. "Now, what's your name?" Faith asks, the answer not mattering as much as getting the snotty mess out of her lizard brain so they could find out what the fuck is going on.<br/><br/>Lorelei's worried shout caused the girl to jump again and start to sputter.  Faith swore under her breath and looked towards the nearest camper.  "Can you go see what the fuck she is shouting about?!?" She orders the person still holding onto the scared woman.<br/>
