I think this may be the last thread from Valra that I will be remaking -- I might also recreate the making-clothing thread, but I'm on the fence about it. Let's just go outside for now.
Your character is on a hiking and/or camping trip with the character above! How does it turn out? Do they get lost or separated? Do they fare well out in the wilds? Pick your poison.

Rylex went to Hellfire Forest National Park for a weekend getaway to hike and camp. He heard about some person that lived there, and that's what the park was known for... But he figured it was probably just rumors of bigfoot or something. Rylex never did cared about details. But it was actually Henry, the Parks own attraction.
There wasn't much daylight left in the day, night was fast approaching when Rylex saw a well built shack. Rylex didn't realize he was in Henry's property when he finally saw the dude. Rylex was startled but as soon as he saw it was Henry, he lit up. It was that guy with the one bad eye. Rylex nods over at him. "Yo! What a damn coincidence! You be out here in da woods too. But yo, lookie here one bad eye guy. Whoever be living here did a nice job building dis here shack. Dude's got everything. 'Nways, if you planning on staying the night, perhaps Rylex 'n you camp together tonight right. Safety in numbers hm?? Make sure no damn raccoon get to us." As he throws down his camping gear and opens his bag and prep to stay for the night. "But don't worry about it, one bad eye guy. Rylex was out hunting earlier and got us some night snacks." As he took out some bunnies he'd catch earlier. "Light up the fire, we gone have rabbit skewers!" Little did he knew, Henry would have prefer them raw.
(LMAO!!!!!!!!!!! Dude Rylex gett'n his botty chased by boars. Funny AF! he would bring the problem over to Miss Fanny. Guess they will have boar meat tonight, thanks to Franny!)
"GOD DAMN!" As he stood there when the boar was shot down. "Rylex din't know you could use a gun like dat. Or even, own one. HA! More den you than meets the eye Miss Franny gurl. Leave the rest to Rylex! He gone prep and we gone get ourselves boar meat tonight!" He picks up the boar and plots it down next to her. "Look at dat. Rylex 'n you don't make a bad team hm?" Then slaps the pig. "How does the misses want her meat prepared?"
another week of searching for herbs for the clinic, today Franny goes to the forest alone usually she goes with her sister, Ruby. Since Ruby is busy helping their father in the clinic today she goes alone.
"Finally some quietness, sunshine" she took a deep breath "Smell of nature, and some random guy being chased by a pack of wild boar" Then she realized what she just sees, it was that guy again, Rylex was it? look like the guy is running out of bullets and being chased by some wild boar. she sits at the nears rock and enjoys the view "Heh such a fool" She took out a thermos and drinks the soup in it while watching Rylex being chased by the boar.
Some seconds later Rylex notices her, he scream for help and runs toward her, he also lured the boar to her "for god shake" She gets annoyed by the man's action. she took out her shotgun and aim for the wild boar then shot them, she kills one and the other star ran away "A big guy as you can even handle a wire boar with bare hand?" with a little mocking tone
"Only ever needed you to come out with me to forage." Maribelle spoke to Franny. She didn't care to look upon the other woman -- other women were often annoyances, no matter how the presented themselves. Not that she could argue in the case of herself, and nor did she care to, either. She scanned the earth they walked along, searching the undergrowth for any sign of what interested her. "I would assume your clinic is more based on the herbalism side of things, lest you've a simple interest in botany."
"Here it is." Maribelle stopped before a growing plant. "Rue. The doctors required it for a tincture against fleas and some poisons -- which, if we did find something poisonous, it would be of more use to me right now. My stores are running low." The girl leaned down to clip off some stalks of the plant and place them into her wicker basket. "There is foxglove around here, however, and perhaps some black locust, if you can even bother to climb trees for it." As if debating it herself, she turned her gaze upwards to the trees drooping above them, and made a face. It wasn't worth it to climb up. She was too heavy for the branches to support her weight.
"Poisons, and herbs for skincare and fragrances. That's all I really need myself." she then grunted, "Keep an eye out."
Grey stone cliffs, seagulls and dune grass. Roswell wrapped his cloak closer around him. His pointy shoes had trouble finding a stable surface as he ploughed through the mud-and-sand-path behind Maribelle. The air tasted like brine here.
“Oi’ve seem dem,” he reassured Maribelle. As he slung his binoculars from his back to his front. “Parrot-divers,” he made a wild hand gesture. “Puffins, afin, whatever dey are called. Dose little pinguin, birds,” he continued. He had to pause his speaking, to take a fresh breath of air. “Dey nest aroun’ ‘ere on de cliffs,” he said. Roswell halted his steps and lifted the binocular. He awkwardly angled it in front of his lone eye.
“Oi’m sure dey are ‘round here. Somewhere. Stupid birds, dey are-” Roswell’s eyebrows raised, and he let out a high pitch sound. Similar to a dog's cry if you step on its paw. It was as pathetic.
“Aye, aye! I see dem! West, 4 O’clock!” He lowered the field glasses and held them out towards her. “See!”
Roswell was right. You could just see a black and white bird face, behind the cluster of dune grass surrounding the cliffs. It was a tufted puffin to be exact. The one that sprouted tufts of surfer-bro like hair. “Told yer dey nest ‘ere!” he added with a bright smile. “Now let's see if we can sneak up on dem. For a closer look."
Bump!
If Roswell isn't your cup of tea, Feel free to interact with any of my other characters Instead!

OMG I AM SO LATE BYT MY HEART IS FULL AND MY EYES TEARS
After a long day of hiking up the "mountain" that was far from civilization, En sat down on the nearest log and let out a large sigh. "Phew! My legs are aching! Just a month ago this wouldn't have bothered me! I'm getting old," he mourned. Recovering fast, he set down the bag of goods and started pulling out the tent. He paused to look over his shoulder, taking in his surroundings with a small smile.
"Do you remember this place?" he asked quietly without looking at the thief. "This is the same spot we talked long ago. It's the moment we became close friends." He looked at Roswell. "I can spend the entire night giving some kind of long-winded speech, but it ends the same way... I'm glad I met you. You're a real, good friend I've had in a long time."
En quickly went back to setting up the tent. "Now! Let's hurry and get everything ready. I want to try that soup you were talking about, the, uh... pom... pon...? Soup."
You can reply to him, his younger self, or evil AU!
oh now that was brilliant, i loved every bit of that!
^ I'm really glad you loved it ❤️
(I'm just gonna pick older En and just roll with the time fuckery, if theirs an issue feel free to lmk xD I don't mind changing if you feel it wouldn't be accurate)
Zen had seen En again, but it took some time to realize he was the same boy he had given music lessons to. If it was not for En recognizing him, Zen would have not. "Mate, you've changed so much! And... How... Why are you older than me, now?"
Time fuckery aside, he did take some time to get some news from him and soon learned that he could actually sing, now. Ok, he was still not the best but it was improvement. And nonetheless, Zen was proud. The werewolf remained patient. He could definitely walk up the mountain pretty fast, but he understood En may not have as much energy as in his younger days. "Take your time, mate! Need anything? You just need to ask." He smiled.
As they arrived at the top, Zen took a good wiff of the fresh air the mountains offered. They were by the edge of a cliff and the view was magnificent, the tree's leafs had changed and they had the spectacle of the view fall offered. It was breath taking.
After taking a good breath of fresh air, Zen started setting up the place so they could picnic. "I've always loved being in nature, that it he hiking, camping and so on. It's like it gets me, that natural aspect." He chuckled as he sat down and admired the view.
The two of them started talking for a while and the conversation slowly went around what was going on in their lives, so as the king spoke of his kids while not mentioning names just yet, Zen started talking about his new girlfriend. He spoke about her with love and adoration, but the more he described her, the more it felt weird. And it was when En mentioned the name of his kids that Zen smirked "Funny, my girlfriends name is Ennette, too." He said.
He soon showed En a picture of the two of them and immediately, the mood of this place instantly changed as the king stared at the picture, then slowly turned his head toward Zen. There was a look of pure, absolute anger in his eyes. It was strangely calm, but Zen could feel his mood shift. And suddenly, he felt worried. "You good, mate?" He asked.
Soon enough, he learned Ennette was his daughter. Zen started laughing nervously "Ok ok ok, no need to be angry, right? I treat her well, I promise!"
Suddenly, he did not feel so safe admiring the automn view next to the cliff, as if the fear the king would suddenly push him off the cliff suddenly struct him. "I... uh..." he then widened his eyes and looked behind the king "WHAT IN THE BLOODY HELL IS THAT?" and as the king turned his head, the next thing he could hear was the shifting and cracking of bones right before Zen started scampering away in full speed and on all 4's in his wolf, his tail right between his legs and suddenly, the king seemed to have a lot more energy to chase him than he previously showed.
V I actually forgot to edit my message but I did read it and I enjoyed it :'D Although I do like the little comic, Zen would be prone to sense her fear and no want to follow because of that. But he would take a few minutes to sincerily apologize for her and tell her how much he's glad that she's ok, and he'd let her know he understands that she fears him and he wouldn't hold it against her.
another day another going outside by force. Neki, illustrator for [company name] is on top of a mountain, looking into the sky wondering why she is in this situation, outside of her room in the wild. The last time she went outside; a monster dragged her into the lake, met death, almost got eaten by a werewolf, and fought an entity.
"почему я здесь?" (why am I here) she starts to question herself "Why a sealed person like me here?" she sounds desperate "Ha... go get some vitamin D she said. Curse you, big sis!" she yelled even some bird flying from the tree as she yells. she took a deep breath to calm herself "If I'm not wrong... Aunt Maria is not far from here. Hope that man is there to help me with my stuff" She walked down, put her hand in her pocket, pulled out meat sticks then ate them "I wonder if Aunt Maria..." she met someone unfamiliar. It was him the Werewolf guy that she met a few months ago, she was almost badly injured from the accident. she just stared at the man thinking about what to do next, said hi, the weather, or other? she thinks to find the way out. She held her left arm and looked to the ground, a little fear came to her "Uh um...you lost?" she asked them "If...If I'm not mistaken....you can go down this road and uh...um or...you can follow me..." she said nervously
'what are you thinking Neki, making a werewolf guy follow you wait is that the guy you met at that music shop? you just imagine things Neki just imagining things calm down calm down' An inner quarrel is happening in her head, she squeezes her left arm "Uh if you want to...like do you even want to follow a stranger you just meet in the middle of the forest" she laughs awkwardly "you know like those murder mystery story that kills a random person that the culprit met" she smiled awkwardly "I think...I have read too many novels hahaha" she tries to hold her fear by squeeze tighter her left arm "I'm not suspicious or anything he he he" her eyes widened she tries not to make an eye contact to the man "uh...um...your choice. I have known this place since a young age. I'm planning to go to see my aunt hahaha"
'what are you doing Neki, you dumbass!' she just smiled and tried to hide her fear from them 'Please please don't follow me, please don't hurt me' she begged in her mind to him
"Aunt Maria is a nice person..."
[if Zen decided to follow her]

Gallium had made its way to the frontrooms by now (or so he thought). Exploring a place like this - open air and stable for the most part, it was unnerving. However, it started to fill with ease when surrounded by the green trees. He didn’t see anyone around and that was a good sign that it was scarcely populated - hopefully for no nefarious reason.
He looked around, it was so peaceful. Maybe he could feel safe enough to actually sit and rest, it’s not like M.E.G would be after it in such an unassuming place like this. A sudden presence to his side that he didn’t even perceive made him startle and he whipped his torso around so the eye on its chest faced the figure. In a weak voice he pleaded, ‘Hi.. I- Uh, please don’t be scared of me..’ Gallium never wanted to shrink into himself and hide this bad in so long. Made sense considering he’d managed to evade society, entity and human, throughout the recent years in the Backrooms.
It didn’t want to linger any linger, without waiting for a response Gallium had scurried off. The corner of his eye twitched - there was something else there. A tall and lanky thing, a stretched and gaping mouth… Skin stealer. Gallium turned around, running back to Neki and grabbing her hand. ‘Just follow me please! There’s a, uhm, something there,’ his voice was panicky as he ran up the hill. The hike was no walk in the park, and the skin stealer still followed, ravaged by its hunger state.
Gallium hoped Neki wasn’t too pained by its grip on her hand, or the amount of brush. He didn’t want to watch the skin stealer out for her skin (and possibly an eye). It panted, trying to climb up the hill, but this wasn’t the terrain he was used to at all. Gallium glanced around desperately, gasping thankfully as he spotted a decently hidden cave. He dragged Neki up there, escaping said skin stealer. ‘Are you okay?’ he turned meekly to Neki.
What a strange, strange place. Smiley had been playing a game of tag with someone when he got shoved away. Next thing he knew, he went through the wall and found himself in some strange, almost endless corridor. There were things that didn't seem like people, but they had lovely smiles as well.
Traveling eventually lead him to what felt like an outdoor forest, but he didn't recall seeing any building he departed from. No, he was still inside the strange, strange place, wasn't he?
As he yanked off a large branch from one of the trees, he spotted a figure ways away. Even from here he could tell that wasn't a human, nor was that anything he'd seen before. Curious, curious, curious. He curiously approached him, taken aback when he turned around to show a large eye on the chest.
"How strange! :)" Smiley hummed with the tilt of his head. "Your mouth, where is it? Where, where, where? :) How can you smile? How can I tell that you're happy? :) Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, this won't do. Not at all, not at all. :)" He snapped his fingers. "I have just the thing! Yes, I do! :) Let's go camping! It'll be fun, fun, fun! :) And you'll be happy, happy, happy! :)" Showing little concern for his surroundings or even who he was talking to, Smiley pointed the branch in an aimless direction, his bag's smiley face never leaving Gallium's direction. "Why don't you go on ahead and I'll follow? :)"
6s wasn’t one for camping trips. Though, when she won a radio station giveaway for a mountainous getaway for one, she couldn’t refuse the offer.
Though, she wasn’t expecting to be camping with a complete stranger.
“Okay, so…” 6s said as he sat across from Chris at a campfire the two of them had started together. “Are you a fan of smores?” They ask with a smile, pulling a small sized bag of marshmallows, a box of graham crackers, and a hershey’s bar from their bag. He gives Chris the ingredients, including a marshmallow on a stick.
“Cheers.” Playfully, she hoists the stick up in the air, before roasting the marshmallow over the fire. 6s sits there, spacing out, before her pixelated eyes light up as though she had an idea. “Hey, you like music, right? I can play some to make it less awkward.”
He pulls out his small flip phone (ironic) and plays a couple of pop songs. She eyes him, “You seem like a pop kinda guy.”
“…Say, I can tell you don’t like being alone either. I guess this shared camping trip is beneficial for you too?” He asks rhetorically, with a wry laugh. “We can’t really see it now, but…” they point to a mountain off in the distance, “How about we hike there tomorrow? We can make some extra s’mores to bring.”
Millie was never much for the great outdoors so to speak , being outside and with all the elements really didn’t seem like her kind of thing, but after her girlfriends became a little concerned about just how much time she was spending inside staring at screens , she was half encouraged andd half forced to attend a camping event that was going on. The catch? You’d be camping next to a complete stranger- without much other choice , Millie set out to the campsite.
While very much struggling to set up her tent, she managed to catch site of her camp mate coming back from a walk or something, she didn’t pay much mind to them at first , but took a very dramatic double take when she noticed exactly what they were, for a second she feared her girlfriends concerns were correct , good god, she was hallucinating people were screens !! But that luckily didn’t seem to be the case. Very quickly she made her way over to her hopeful new friend , filled to the brim with excitement and questions.
“Hiiii! Oh my gosh you look so cool! I’ve never seen anything like you before!”
She exclaimed happily, before suddenly realising she may being coming across as a little rude.
“Oh uh! Sorry! I meant that in a nice way I promise! It must be pretty cool to be a phone , right?”
She asked with a slightly sheepish giggle, take that you guys, seems she could never truly escape looking at screens!
