The Mysteries of Strangers The Lost and Found

Cabin Description

Ever been to a quiet, enchanted library? Stepping into this cabin may feel as though you're in one of them. The interior of the Mysteries cabin has a very clear colour palette in midnight blue, black, silver, and violet. Many find the common room is often in a quiet state, filled with something calming and mysterious. Large couches give a comfortable space if the residents do want to interact, but there is equally as much space dedicated to armchairs that stand by themselves and cushioned benches by windows, with pillows and blankets. The walls are lined with endless bookshelves and star charts, and floating candles cover the ceiling, much like in the Great Hall. As many of the inhabitants in this cabin are observant, intellectually gifted, introverted, and some even mysterious, the bedrooms are also kept in pairs of two to ensure that everyone feels comfortable. Each resident can choose a twin XL-sized bed with a trunk standing at the end. There is also a bedside table with space for books and an enchanted candle. Something unique that this cabin has is a curtain students may pull around their bed at night to drown out any noise or light. It’s perfect for when the common room gets loud, or if you are one who enjoys staying up reading in candlelight. The summer camp planning committee suggests midnight stargazing, puzzle nights, or silent reading hours as a bonding experience for those in the Department of Mysteries.

Why did he come to summer camp? He knew exactly why, but it had been a matter of choosing the lesser of two evils. Antoine could have chosen to stay home with his family, but the mere thought of that vanished as quickly as it came. He could certainly stand their constant belittling and high expectations, but that was not something that he really wanted to do. Alternatively, he could go to summer camp, where he would meet all manner of foolish people because the committee refused to let them reside alone. Perhaps foolish was a harsh word. He knew it was simply his frustrations getting the better of him, but whoever they were, they would certainly be better than a summer with his family, and he would never think of calling his family foolish.

It was with these thoughts that Antoine headed towards his allotted cabin. Of course, neither his father or his mother had come to see him off. They all preferred it that way. As long as the golden son was maintaining the family image, there wasn't much to talk about, was there? He finally arrived at the cabin. He had chosen the Department of Mysteries, hoping the name would attract people who were not much for conversation, but, with his luck, he'd be stuck with people playing escape room the second he walked in.

He entered and, thankfully, it was empty. That gave him a minute to examine his surroundings. The only word Antoine could come up with was "Quaint." He spoke aloud, considering there was no one here yet. Antoine dropped his trunk in the first available bedroom, thankful there were at least some nooks he could spend his time in. Unfortunately, the bedroom had another bed in it, and Antoine wasn't one for sharing. No matter, that was a problem to be dealt with later. Perhaps whoever his roommate was would keep to themselves.

Antoine strolled back into the common room, taking a walk around the common room as he examined each bookshelf carefully. The writer in him was joyous, but the boy would certainly not let that show. However, there was a glimmer of interest in his eyes as he scanned one title and the next, picking up a book, thumbing through it, putting it back, and then repeating the process all over again. It was so infatuating it almost made him forget the predicament he was in. Almost.

Soon, this room would be full, and he wouldn't be on his own, happy in the company of books. Instead, he would have to entertain the few companions who insisted on this very same cabin. Perhaps it was Antoine's social training that made him feel this way, but he felt responsible already for his roommates, whoever they may be. Antoine felt like the host at a gathering, and knowing his duties as a host was something he could very well do. Although, perhaps claiming this space was not the smartest thing to do just yet.
