It would be like a vacation! The entire lounge heading outside after one of the stories ends, waiting for the poll to decide who’s up next.
The Deans might actually need some help from Jacob with the camping stuff. They’re pretty good at tracking in the forest, pretty terrible with survival. I mean, Dean’s idea of ‘rations’ was a pack of peanut M&Ms. He’ll need some pointers. Smol Dean will tease, but he’s no better off. He can just survive off a few M&Ms instead of eating through a bag in one sitting.
The smols will need to be supervised if they go swimming at all. The tols might not realize it, but the majority of them have no experience swimming. Smol Dean, since he was older when he was cursed, would be fine. Smol Jacob, too. But Oscar and Sam will be giving the water wary looks, and extra smol Jake better restrain himself to a tiny leetle pool of water for swimming in or he might get swept away.
They would need to bring Oscar a rubber ducky or something to float on. Just in case the swimming and splashing gets too overwhelming when he’s not close to the edge! He’d be glad to play around in the smaller pool for mini Jacob, really. They could splash around without worrying about sinking.
Bowman on a beach would be pretty entertaining, too. There aren’t many large bodies of water in Wellwood, and Bowman doesn’t visit them often. The big waves on a beach would probably get him so annoyed and he’d be trying to pick a fight with the entire ocean. The tols would have to watch him and make sure he didn’t get swept away.
Giant Jacob would probably be the splashing champion. Anyone trying to cause mischief throwing water around can have a handful of water dumped on their heads.
John and Sherlock turning into red lobsters is too accurate! My poor Brits live in a land of rain and like 2 days of sun, they’d better pack a truckload of sunscreen to survive their trip to the beach.
Come to think of it, they could. Giant Jacob could help carry it.
Ask the authors weekend is over for now, but will return! Until then, continue to send in your asks! We love to hear your thoughts!
