Dear Sir / Madam,
I have tried and failed repeatedly to contact you via the phone number provided on your website, so I am reaching out like this.

We are unsure what to pack as I am only familiar with these camps in summer. I trust my son won't be sleeping in a tent in these temperatures, so I assume that a sleeping bag will not be necessary as you will be providing proper blankets. I would very much like to be sure of that before our staff brings him over, however.

I have to say that I am a bit disappointed with the lack of foresight and communication that seems to be coming from your organisation in general. We have been under the assumption that your facility was already completely booked out and only heard about an available space in your program as of two days ago, so the lack of information about the necessities is especially frustrating.

Please contact me as soon as possible at +1 (202) โ–“โ–“โ–“ - โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–“.

Sincere regards,
โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–“โ–“

Thank you for your review! :)
I'm new to this area of Earth (but I have been to many other areas of Earth before and was even born in one!), so I'm not quite sure what this is about. Just to be safe, you should probably pack everything, I'd say!

I can't figure out how to type black squares into my phone, so I can't contact you under the number you put down, either. :( Sorry!!!

What do you mean, โ€œeverythingโ€?

Dec 22nd 2023

๐Ÿ‘ฎ Inspector_Constable

Just everything you think you need for reading books. :)

Dec 22nd 2023

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ H.Dowling

Could you please call my staff or give me a number where I can actually reach you?
This is worse than texting Melania.

Dec 22nd 2023

๐Ÿ‘ฎ Inspector_Constable

Oh, sorry! I unplugged the phone because it kept waking up Crowley.

Dec 22nd 2023

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ H.Dowling

I was under the impression that this is a vacation camp for teenagers, not young children who need a midday nap?

Dec 22nd 2023

๐Ÿ‘ฎ Inspector_Constable

Um... I don't know? Crowley is quite old if that helps!

Dec 22nd 2023

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ H.Dowling

I see. Excuse me, I didn't realize you were talking about one of the counselors. I take it, seniors have more time to volunteer, but I would hope they're not interfering with your business to the point where concerned parents cannot reach you!
Call me!

Dec 22nd 2023

๐Ÿ‘ฎ Inspector_Constable

I don't know how, but I plugged the phone back in! :) Please try to ring quietly; Crowley is having his โ€œmidday napโ€ again.

Dec 22nd 2023

I can't believe Maggie told your mother that this is a bloody holiday camp.

Dec 22nd 2023

All I wanted was a last-minute present for my nerdy room mate! But instead of a book, I had a lizard thrown on me!!! A slimy, icky, disgusting, stinking lizard!!!!! And that meanie of an intern/kid who threw it LAUGHED at me! ME!!!! Can you imagine?!

He said something like “it's tradition”. Oh goodness, I need to sit down just thinking about it. It was GROSS! And while I was screaming, the shopkeeper finally came and instead of helping me or telling this kid off, he SNICKERED! And then he said “good job” and high-fived the brat!!!!

This is the worst I've ever been treated! And they didn't even offer me cookies!!! Even though they were clearly making some on the table in the middle of the shop. You could see it on the shopkeeper too; he was dressed in all black (seriously, not a good look, I keep telling people that but nobody ever listens to me) but there were several flour-handprints on his shirt and trousers. Some of them were clearly from him wiping his hands, but others were smaller and definitely from the kid! My point is: They had cookies AND a food fight and they didn't offer me ANY of it!!!!

BUT THEN THERE WAS ALSO A LIZARD ON THE DOUGH SO I WOULDN'T HAVE WANTED ANY OF YOUR SNAKE AND DEMON-CHILD AND EXPLODING-PLANET SHAPED COOKIES ANYWAY!!!

Ugh! Maybe I would've taken the two little angel cookies that the kid was in the process of making but NO!!! He said that's for his nanny and his gardener! HELLO???

Do not go there! Grossest bookshop ever!!!

(The other employee gave me a bunch of their own cookies at least. They were all teacup shaped for some reason but better than nothing. They were, however, DISGUSTINGLY SALTY!!! Can nobody bake or behave in this shop???)

My dearest, darlingest popsical will be hearing about this!

its a real mystery

The only other time I've ever been this proud was when you told Hastur that he smelled like poop.

what did i tell you about moping and double texting nanny

Dec 27th 2023

๐Ÿ SnakeOnABreak

Oh, don't start again! I'm allowed to tease you, not the other way round. Besides, I don't take texting advice from someone who hasn't yet managed to find the uppercase letters on his phone.
Or from a vegan for that matter. I just double text โ€“ you've gone soft!

Dec 27th 2023

๐Ÿฆ‚ THEADVERSARY

oh please
as if u wouldve eaten a christmas duck

Dec 27th 2023

๐Ÿ SnakeOnABreak

Christmas โ€œduckโ€?! Who taught you animals because I know we had that storybook with the animal sounds and I distinctly remember telling you there's a difference between a goose and a duck and that difference is a mouth full of teeth and a lineage from Hell.

Dec 27th 2023

๐Ÿ SnakeOnABreak

...that weird conspiracy girl will take that information and run with it, won't she?

Dec 27th 2023

You were about to tell me how a sixteen-year-old doesn't know the difference between a duck and a goose? Don't they have parks in America or do you only know pixelated animals on your console?

Dec 27th 2023

๐Ÿฆ‚ THEADVERSARY

bold of u to try to turn this into an insult to america when my ostentatiously british nanny told me that horses have horns when i was 5

Dec 27th 2023

Dec 27th 2023

Stop worrying; I wasn't gonna do anything serious!

Dec 27th 2023

whats cringe is ur use of quotation marks
i wasnt worrying i was trying to encourage u

Dec 27th 2023

๐Ÿฆ‚ THEADVERSARY

i missed you, you know?
both of you

Dec 27th 2023

๐Ÿ SnakeOnABreak

You were getting older. We couldn't stay.

Dec 27th 2023

๐Ÿฆ‚ THEADVERSARY

i know
both bc of the the nanny thing + the... other thing

Dec 27th 2023

๐Ÿ SnakeOnABreak

yeah

Dec 27th 2023

๐Ÿฆ‚ THEADVERSARY

everybody kept saying โ€œoh theyve finally run off together + eloped, it was only a matter of timeโ€

ngk

Dec 27th 2023

๐Ÿฆ‚ THEADVERSARY

did u really just type that out?
anyway
literally all the secret service men kept whispering about it. even mom. dad wouldnt believe it ofc bc he wouldnt know love if it punched him in the face
+ i just thought... yeah that tracks

Dec 27th 2023

๐Ÿฆ‚ THEADVERSARY

but sometimes, when i felt alone at night and there was nobody there for me to wake up and be all grumpy about making me cocoa, i thought
what if they just left because they were disappointed in me
because throwing rocks at the neighbors garage windows isnt exactly subjugating the weak
and its also not being compassionate and kind to all creatures big and small
its just being me

Dec 27th 2023

๐Ÿ SnakeOnABreak

Oh my little hellspawn, we have never been disappointed in you.
We put so much on you. Lots of contradictory expectations. And we kept pulling on you like on the rope in a tug-of-war. That would disorient any child to the point of complete madness!
And yet, you somehow managed to be what we always hoped you'd be.

Dec 27th 2023

๐Ÿฆ‚ THEADVERSARY

are you gonna say something stupid that makes me cry now

Dec 27th 2023

๐Ÿ SnakeOnABreak

You kept being you.
Just normal little Warlock.
That was the goal from the beginning but I only realised later just how good of an outcome that was. Because of all the versions of you that could have stood in the way of the apocalypse, there was none I would have been more proud to see all grown up.

Dec 27th 2023

๐Ÿฆ‚ THEADVERSARY

ok

Dec 27th 2023

Dec 27th 2023

i love you too
and i hope thats enough even if its not brother francis saying it

Dec 27th 2023

๐Ÿ SnakeOnABreak

It's enough. Of course it's enough. It's worth everything coming from you.

Dec 27th 2023

but nanny?

Dec 27th 2023

๐Ÿ SnakeOnABreak

i so wouldnt have โ€œstood in the way of the apocalypseโ€
