Suzanna looked worriedly at Evelin and wondered if she had done the right thing. Surely, there had been a way to pull it all together better? No matter if colorful girl had done the right thing or not, she didn't have to feel all awful and rejected by it. But counselor didn't have time to talk with her more right now, that would have to come later. What was up with those pills, however? Was she ill? As she passed by and smiled at both girls - Evelin and Megumi - she caught shortest one's commentary about Billy and mentally agreed.

When everyone had gathered outside, she did a quick headcount before speech started, but guessed that she had messed the count up and so woman wasn't entirely sure if there was one person (Aiden) missing or not. There was no time to recount either. She took in the speech with great interest, her eyes only sometimes leaving screen to watch old man or her fellow campers. Some obviously got sleepy, but few were as interested as her. She felt effect of heat as well and thought in absent-minded manner that in no time, her face would be covered in freckles.

She liked that the man introduced all counselors, but as her time got closer, nervousness approached as well. Hopefully, she wouldn't trip or look silly giving that wave. Should she wave, actually? And don't forget a smile! Agh, everyone will be staring at her... But even with that, she didn't miss out what was said about her new, even if temporary, co-workers. They were quite the international team, really, and she looked forward to learning more about them all (as well as their countries). Of course, little 'blurb' about Billy was bright and impressive. And then it was her turn.

With surprising ease, she walked up to camp's leader in light, slightly bouncy walk and gave a wave to everyone, smiling brightly. Suzanna looked confident and cheerful person, if not for bright blush on her face - it wasn't just on her cheeks, but also on nose -, making her look even more youthful than she normally did. She wasn't used to public praises and some of these details felt very personal - more than about other counselors. But her aspirations were not made up and she was just surprised that they had contacted Jeff and her teachers. Apparently, the camp put more work into picking counselors than she had initially thought which meant... she really deserved it!

Then again, Billy had been chosen, too. She looked sideways at him, now standing in the circle with other counselors. Well, she looked sideways and up, that is. Even with thicker platform, she was just slightly over his shoulder height. As expected, he took over the lead easily and everyone complied. There wasn't really a reason not to, either. Playing RSP, of course she lost few first rounds, but had managed to become eagle by time Tyrannosaurus became human. The evolution chain on it own was amusing!

Soon after, she was off the stage as well and moved over in the 'egg walk' to one of her team-members - tall girl who had had to go change her clothes after the food incident (Artifex). "Hello there! I am Suzanna, from England and I really love art. Nice to meet you!" She knew she was repeating, but maybe the other had 'slept' through the introduction and, well, Suzanna was a bit of stickler for rules.

"Slowpoke? Like... Pokemon?" he echoed, slightly bewildered, but not so much at the prospect of there being birds on lawn than at how easy Anna took charge in a friendly manner. Well, he certainly didn't mind. In fact, it was kind of nice and warm. And he felt like someone had just given him golden star for excellence when he caught the apple! Phew, one lame failure averted. Current highscore of the day: 180.

Mikheil followed her outside and sat down at designed spot, crossing his legs like yogi. At commentary about guppy, he exclaimed that he can't help it and goggled his eyes and puffed cheek in a random fish impression, attracting perhaps way too many stares than he would have liked. But then he was saved from attention by the start of speech. It was moderately interesting, but it was hot here and man pulled off his jacket, throwing it over his arm casually. When he noticed blonde was getting drowsy, he nudged her slightly in side with elbow, but otherwise carefully followed text in German on screen.

He liked most counselors and was surprised to find out that the short chick was one, too. And she worked as a tattoo artist? Interesting. Was she really all that out for help as camp leader said she was? Maybe indeed, judging by her actions earlier. She seemed not older than him if not younger, despite 4 year gap, especially with that cute blush. But few minutes later, he was drawn into playing a silly, but kind of amusing game.

"Okay, let's see whose shell is tougher," he joked, offering Anna first round of RSP.
