Don’t worry, Reade. Lyssa’s a clever woman. She’ll come up with something.
OR, they might go with Allen’s plan. What could it be?
Maybe you’ll find out next time. Or maybe I’ll cackle to myself as you wonder what they heck they’re doing at a place like… I can say no more.
Poor Tris. At least the other kids are standing by him. That’s what friends are for, right?
They both raise a good point. On the one hand, it’s a bad idea to leave them someplace where they won’t be safe, but on the other hand, they do need to learn to stand up for themselves–or at least pick their fights more wisely. Given that the camp doesn’t seem to be monitoring the bad behavior of some of the their campers so well, I’d split the difference and read the riot act to the people in charge and make darn sure they know they’re regret it if they don’t do something to discipline the kids who are physically assaulting other campers.
But what if the people in charge don’t listen?
Well, I think teaching them to defend themselves while leveling the playing field might do it… This is Lyssa we are talking about so… the bullies are in trouble, I guess…
They could teach the kids to defend themselves. Or they could guarantee that the problem never happens again.
The trick is to do it without getting hurt. Or arrested.
I hope that they let the kids stay, but I’m sure Reade will go Momma Bear on someone before the day is through! I’m gonna side with Lyssa on this on though–if only because I had overbearing parents and wished I’d had more freedom growing up.
It’s a balancing act- Lyssa (and Reade, to some extent) want the kids to stay and enjoy Camp Runamucca. But Reade wants to make absolutely sure that this is not going to happen again. And that Tristan knows that he’s safe.
Allen has a plan, and, as we’ll see, Lyssa has a plan of her own.
Something tells me we’d be better off hearing the idea before deciding anything else…
Ah, but you might have to wait a while to hear what it is.
I can tell you one thing: somebody’s not going to like it.
On panel 3 (?), it looks like the kids are going to tell those in charge on what happened. Good for them. If the camp admin does nothing, THEN it is on them too. Eleanor does not hurt Allies.
Actually, judging by his potty-dance pose, I think they’re sneaking into the staff restroom to avoid getting caught by bullies again. I mean, I could be wrong, but that’s how I took it. But hey, they’re working together to keep each other safe, so that’s good.
They should have gotten a trailer for Caliban. It wouldn’t have been as funny as what’s going to happen. but it would have been heartwarming to see the bullies meeting him. ^^
That is a brilliant idea, Delta-v, and I wish I had thought of it.
They probably wouldn’t have brought him for two reasons: Reade would be too scared to drive through the mountains towing a trailer, and Caliban is a lot harder to control when things get crazy.
But it would be satisfying to stand the bullies in back of the trailer and open the doors to reveal him…
