Anthology | Capture the Flag 10: The Campfire Conference

A/N: This is the second to the last part of Lorelei's entry! The final part will be posted tomorrow and then we'll move on to Jamie's entry!

LORELEI

Thanks to the extra twigs and dried leaves that Loki gathered around noontime, we did not have collect anymore. I lit two match sticks and waited for the kindling to catch fire. We added some firewood so the flickering flame would stay much longer.

Nang sumasayaw na ang matingkad na apoy, Alistair carefully put the frying pan on top of the stones. Si Jamie ang nag-volunteer na magluto ng itlog at hotdog. We only used half of the tray of eggs dahil kailangan pa naming magluto bukas ng umaga. May tira pa kaming kanin kaninang tanghalian kaya 'yon na rin ang kakainin namin ngayong gabi.

It looked like the other teams were also busy with their dinner preparations. Wala kaming na-sense na sikretong nakamasid sa amin sa mga bush. Lumubog na rin ang araw at mahirap nang makakita sa dilim. If they used a flashlight, we would immediately notice their presence. They could try crawling in the dark, but good luck to them if they did.

Nakapalibot kaming umupo sa campfire habang kumakain ng hapunan. We added more wood to the fire. The flame grew bigger and burnt brighter, driving the darkness away from our camp. Sa hindi kalayuan, may napansin din kaming liwanag. That must be the camp of the Sewing Club. Sila ang pinakamalapit sa amin.

"So why don't we do some sharing?" Jamie asked as soon as she's done eating. "Wala rin tayong gagawin, 'di ba? Bakit 'di natin sulitin ang moment na 'to?"

"Shouldn't we be strategizing on how to win the game?" Loki asked. Kaunti lang ang kanin na kinain niya. "You miserably blew the chance of stealing the enemy team's flag. Or we can vote out someone who might be the traitor among us."

"We can talk about strategies tomorrow morning," Alistair told him. Ibinaba niya sa kanyang paanan ang walang laman na paper plate. "Wala rin tayong magagawa dahil kumagat na ang dilim. Jamie's suggestion is good to pass the time."

Quote na kami ngayong araw sa capture the flag na 'yan. Ayaw ko na munang isipin lalo na't hindi kami naging matagumpay sa misyon kanina.

"Wala naman yatang may balak na magtraydor sa atin," sabi ko matapos lumunok ng pagkain. I could confidently claim that dahil ako ang nakabunot ng traitor card. Wala pa ring nagbabago sa desisyon ko.

Well, we could vote for Rye since he's the newest and the most suspicious kahit na binigyan niya kami ng flag. But if his intention was to help our team win and we still chose to send him to detention, we might be losing an advantage in tomorrow's continuation of the game.

"If I were the traitor, hindi ko na itutuloy ang pantatraydor," nakangiting sabi ni Jamie. She drank from her water canteen and wiped her mouth with her hand. "We're already ahead in the game kaya bakit pa, 'di ba? I'd be a fool kung ngayon ako lilipat ng team."

She had a solid point. The only reason why one of us would betray our team was possibly due to that person rooting for another team. Ayaw kong magtunog na mayabang, but which team was better to root for than ours? Ganyan din ang ipinunto ni Jamie kaninang hapon. Kaya nga lumipat sa amin si Rye.

"So ano'ng gusto n'yong pag-uusapan natin?" Alistair's elbows rested on his knees as he gazed at each of us intently. "Teka, ilalabas ko na 'yong marshmallow para mailuto natin habang nagkukuwentuhan tayo."

Tumayo si Alistair at pumasok sa aming tent para kunin ang bag ng marshmallows. I chose to buy that snack specifically for this moment. Parang naramdaman ko na magkakaroon ng ganitong moment.

"Pass! I'd rather take a rest than chit-chat with the rest of you. I'm gonna hit the sack. Or in this case, the sleeping bag." Tumayo na rin si Loki at akmang susundan si Alistair sa tent. Hindi pa man siya nakahahakbang, mabilis na hinila ni Jamie ang kanyang kamay pababa. Muntik na tuloy siyang ma-out of balance. "What?"

"Minsan lang tayo magkaroon ng ganitong moment tapos magpa-pass ka pa?" pangaral ni Jamie. Nagmukha tuloy siyang nakatatandang kapatid ng isang batang wala sa mood makipaglaro sa playmates niya. "Huwag ka ngang maging killjoy, Loki dear! Can't you see na napaka-perfect ng mood para doon? The night. The campfire. The sound of crickets. The six of us gathered around. Let's have some fun!"

"I don't know how sharing and listening to each other's experiences can be fun," Loki replied. Sinubukan niyang tumayo at magpumiglas sa hawak ni Jamie pero hindi siya makaalis. Parang nakadikit ng matibay na glue ang kamay ni Jamie sa wrist niya.

"People have interesting stories! Sigurado akong worth it pakinggan ang mga ise-share ng mga kasama natin! So please, stay with us? Ngayon lang ako hihingi ng favor sa 'yo. Please, please, please!"

Dahil hindi pa rin siya makaalis, walang nagawa si Loki kung hindi manatili sa kanyang pwesto at bumuntong-hininga. Tumango siya sa direksyon ng kanyang kuya. "How about him? I doubt he has any interesting stories to tell. He's gonna bore us to death."

Luthor only gave him a stare that further irritated Loki. He could have fired back with a witty remark, but he probably figured that a look in the eye was enough. Kahit ano yatang maging response niya, magiging annoyed pa rin ang kapatid niya.

Lumabas na si Alistair mula sa tent, dala-dala ang isang bag ng marshmallows. After putting some in sticks, he carefully roasted them over the campfire. Isa-isa niya kaming binigyan ng tig-iisang stick nang toasted na ang mga 'yon.

"So let's start!" Jamie clapped. Humarap kaming lahat sa kanya na parang siya ang magsisilbing storyteller sa gabing ito. "Simulan natin sa pinaka-basic na tanong. What's your most memorable memory in high school so far?"

Memorable, huh? Ano nga ba? She mentioned that it's a basic question, pero parang mahihirapan akong sagutan. The most memorable memories are either the best experience or the worst experience some of us might have had.

"Ako na muna ang mauuna, okay?" Nag-volunteer na si Jamie matapos ang ilang segundo ng katahimikan. We heard the fire crackling as silence ensued. Wala rin yatang gustong mauna sa amin.

The question sounded so simple, but finding the best answer to it was kinda complicated, at least for me. Mabuti't hindi siya nag-spin the bottle o randomly na nagturo sa amin. I did not have any answer at that moment.

"For me, ang pinaka-memorable sa akin ay ang pagsali ko sa QED Club!" sagot ni Jamie. "Aside kasi sa nakilala ko si Loki dear pati sina Lorelei at Alistair, I started to do something that I didn't think that I was capable of. Being a high school detective! Dati, nanonood at nagbabasa lang ako ng detective stories. Ngayon, ako na mismo ang detective."

Well, I was not surprised to hear her answer. I couldn't help myself but agree with her. Joining the club also changed my life in the strangest way possible. Baka pwede kong gayahin ang sagot niya kapag turn ko na?

"Alam kong hindi ako gano'n kagaling sa deductions and all that jazz. {ero nag-e-enjoy ako tuwing may sino-solve kaming mysteries! Well, except the murder cases because those were kinda traumatizing for me. Alam n'yo namang matalas ang memory ko. Nase-save sa utak ko ang mga gory na scene."

Those were truly traumatizing for anyone around our age. But I understood how the gore could be more traumatizing for her. She was blessed with a gift that could sometimes be a curse.

"Weren't you a theater actress before joining the club?" interesadong tanong ni Alistair. "Wala ka bang naging memorable experience doon?"

Ipinaikot-ikot ng daliri ni Jamie ang kanyang nakatrintas na buhok. "Acting on stage is fun, but it's not that memorable for me. Hindi kasi tumatatak sa akin kapag nagagawa ko kung ano ang ine-expect ko sa sarili ko. I know that I'm good at acting. I know that I can nail my performances. The results no longer surprise me anymore, therefore not memorable for me."

I forgot how many times I said this, but I admire her confidence. May ipagmamayabang talaga siya kaya wala akong masabing taliwas doon.

Jamie stared into the fire as her smile faded slightly. Naging seryoso ang expression ng kanyang mukha. "These new experiences are more memorable than everything I did before joining the club. It kinda changed my perspective on things. It changed me."

"Experiences can change us," Alistair agreed, beaming at her. "For the better or for the worse."

Her frown quickly turned into a smile again. "Kaya nga gusto kong i-enjoy ang mga moment na kasama kayo. Kaya please lang, ha? Wala sanang magiging killjoy sa atin. These moments are best shared with our friends. And I consider you guys as my friends! You may not see me that way, pero gano'n ang tingin ko sa inyo."

I hope Loki was listening and not just pretending to listen. Mukhang nakikinig naman siya dahil nakadilat ang mga mata niya at nakatitig sa apoy. Oh, wait. He has this secret technique where he could sleep with his eyes open. Nabanggit niyang gusto na niyang matulog kanina. Kung gusto niya kaming utakan, gagamitin niya ang kanyang skill.

"Jamie, pakikurot mo nga 'yang katabi mo," utos ko. Walang response kay Loki kahit hindi mahina ang boses ko. If he was still awake, he would have reacted already.

"Bakit? Masasaktan si Loki dear!"

"Tinulugan na tayo niyan."

Jamie looked like she was hesitating, but she gave in to my command. She pinched him on the arm. Halos mapatalon sa kanyang kinauupuan si Loki.

"Is the session over?" tanong niya habang pakurap-kurap ang mga mata at palinga-linga sa paligid. "Are we gonna sleep now?"

Sabi ko na nga ba. Kahit kailan talaga, hahanap at hahanap ang lalaking 'to ng paraan upang maisahan kami.

"Loki dear naman!" padabog na tawag sa kanya ni Jamie. She slapped him on the arm. "Napaka-drama ng speech ko tapos tinulugan mo lang ako? Nasaan 'yong support mo?"

"Sorry, I really feel sleepy but you're forcing me to sit here and listen," Loki answered, massaging the part where he was hit. "I may doze off again. If I do, don't mind me and carry on with your sharing session."

"Kapag nakatulog ulit siya, kurutin mo nang mas masakit. 'Yong magmamarka sa balat niya," pagbabanta ko. "At least, try to keep yourself awake. Sa apartment nga, hindi ka agad natutulog. Anong oras na ba? Alas-otso pa lang yata."

"We're not in our apartment so my body clock has adjusted accordingly."

"Para mawala ang antok mo, ikaw na ang susunod na mag-share." Itinuro ko siya. Saktong-sakto, katabi niya si Jamie kaya hindi na kailangang mag-jump para sa next na sasagot. "What's your most memorable experience in high school so far?"

"Can I take a pass—"

"No, everyone's gonna answer that question." Ibinaling ko ang aking tingin sa dalawang bisita namin—sina Luthor at Rye. I gave them a subtle warning that they could not choose to participate. Lahat kami, magse-share.

"Fine!" Loki let out a sharp breath. Tinitigan niya muna ang apoy habang mukhang nag-iisip. Don't you dare use your sleeping technique on us again. Sinenyasan ko si Jamie na kapag hindi pa siya sumagot sa susunod na fifteen seconds, kurutin niya ulit. He might have fallen asleep again.

Pero mukhang hindi na siya kailangang gisingin pa.

"There's nothing more memorable for me than creating the QED Club."

"Oh, 'di ba?" singit ni Jamie na minsang pumalakpak sabay turo sa katabi niya. "Halos pareho kami ng sagot ni Loki dear!"

I shushed her. Seryosong nagse-share 'yong tao tapos sisingitan niya. No one must interrupt Loki's train of thought.

"My high school life was boring until I founded that group," Loki went on. "Imagine leading a routinely schedule every day where you wake up, go to school, listen to boring classes, go home, and sleep until you wake up the next day. By immersing myself in mysteries, I broke the cycle of the mundane. I began to have something to look forward to everyday."

To a certain point, I agreed with what he said. This may sound like an exaggeration, but I could not imagine my high school life without the QED Club. Alam kong napilitan akong sumali noong una. But I got used to it. It became part of my life too.

"Because of the club, I met people who made some impact on my life." Loki raised his eyes on us. I swear I saw one corner of his lips move as he took a pause. Was that a faint smile? Napangiti ako sa sinabi niya. "I guess we have to thank my brother for that. If it weren't for the student council's stupid there-must-be-at-least-two-members-in-every-club rule, I wouldn't have been forced to meet some of you."

"You are very much welcome," Luthor replied, bowing slightly.

"That was a rhetorical statement."

"Be that as it may, you are still welcome."

"What's the most profound lesson you've learned since you founded the club?" Alistair asked, putting the discussion back on track. Baka kung saan pa mapunta kapag hinayaan naming magsagutan ang dalawa.

"Do I really have to answer that question? I already answered the main one."

"Sagutin mo na lang," utos ko.

"Ako nga, sinagot ko 'yong follow-up question ni Al!" hirit ni Jamie.

Minsan lang namin siya mapapayag na magkuwento. Kailangang sulitin na namin.

Naging malalim ang buntong-hininga ni Loki. Tumingin sa taas ang kanyang mga mata na parang doon niya makikita ang sagot. "Well, the world doesn't revolve around me so I have to be considerate with people who stand with me. Does that satisfy your question?"

Alistair nodded. "It surely does."

I wanted Loki to elaborate his answer, but I got his point. Sapat nang nagawa namin siyang pasagutin ng dalawang tanong.

"How about you, Al?" tanong ni Jamie. She crossed her legs and talked as if she was the host of a late night talk show. "Ano ang pinaka-memorable para sa 'yo?"

"I'd also say noong sumali ako sa QED Club. Sorry kung pareho tayo ng sagot," nakangiting tugon ni Alistair. "Kung magiging specific ako, the times when my perspectives clash with Loki's are memorable for me."

"So you enjoy debating with me, huh?" Loki chuckled.

"I find it interesting to argue with someone who holds views opposite to mine. Especially from someone who stands by their beliefs firmly even if they are wrong." Alistair kept the smile on his face. "And I don't mean that as an insult, by the way."

"None taken," Loki replied.

"Memorable din sa akin ang times na ganito, na wala tayong masyadong iniintindi maliban sa game," he went on, looking at the rest of us. "Since we're mostly preoccupied with cases, I began to appreciate more the moments of peace like this team building."

"Huwag ka munang magsalita nang patapos," Loki butt in. "We still have more than twelve hours before the team building ends. Something might happen while we're here—"

"Loki!" tawag namin ni Jamie sa kanya. Okay na ngang agawan ng flag ang pinoproblema namin. Bakit parang gusto niya pang dagdagan? I don't want this event to be affected by our so-called curse.

"Let's hope na maging payapa ang team building hanggang sa makauwi tayo," sabi ni Alistair. I also hope for the same. If the gods for unfortunate events were listening to us, we would like to take a pass on anything that they might have in store for us.

Sunod na humarap sa akin si Jamie. She leaned toward my direction. "Ikaw naman, Lori? Ano ang sa 'yo?"

Ano nga ba ang sa 'kin? Kagaya ba kina Jamie at Alistair noong sumali ako sa QED Club? Well, yes. But the answer I had in my mind was a few steps backward.

"Para sa 'kin, ang pag-transfer ko rito sa Pampanga at ang pag-enroll ko sa Clark High," nakangiti kong sagot habang nakatitig sa apoy. "Some of you may know what happened to me in my previous school. Transferring here was like turning over a new leaf in my book. You know, I started fresh."

I still remember the day that my dad sent me off and the day I arrived in Tita Martha's apartment. Doon nagsimula ang lahat. If that did not happen, I would not be here with them.

Naramdaman kong nakatitig ang silang lahat sa akin. Mas naging conscious tuloy ako sa mga susunod kong sasabihin. Nakaka-pressure minsan kapag nasa iyo ang atensyon ng mga taong nakapaligid sa 'yo.

"I met people. I made new friends. I also joined the QED Club," I enumerated as I casted a glance over them. "That big change was a turning point in my life that I once dreaded, but I now enjoy. Kung hindi dahil doon, hindi ko mae-experience ang mga bagay na pinahahalagahan ko ngayon. I wouldn't have known all of you. Well, except Alistair since he's my childhood friend."

"Same, same, Lori," patango-tangong komento ni Jamie. "I wouldn't also be here kung 'di dahil sa isang case. And you wouldn't have had the pleasure of meeting the Jamie Santiago."

Kahit ganyan si Jamie na may pagkamayabang at ilang beses akong tinarayan, natutuwa pa rin akong makilala siya.

"Punta naman tayo sa mga bisita natin!" Jamie twisted in her seat to face Luthor and Rye. Sana'y hindi sila nakaramdam ng pagiging out of place. "Ihuli natin ang future brother-in-law ko. Ikaw, Rye, ano ang memorable moment para sa 'yo?"

Ilang segundong napaisip si Rye habang hinahaplos ang bangs na tumatakip sa isa niyang mata. "Halos may pagkakatulad ang mga sagot natin. Kung sa inyo, ang pagsali sa QED Club, sa akin, ang pagsali ko sa student executive committee."

"Because you enjoy power-tripping?" Loki quipped. I shot him with a stare. His side comment was unnecessary.

"Dahil mas naging displinado ako," sabi ni Rye sabay baba ng kanyang kamay. "Noong alukin ako ni Maggie na sumali, nagdalawang-isip ako. Kapag naging part na ako ng execom, kailangan kong maging role model sa ibang estudyante. Kung 'di n'yo alam, mahilig akong magyosi. Hindi iyon magandang image sa campus lalo na para sa isang student officer."

Sabagay, paano mo i-e-expect na susundin ka ng ibang estudyante kung ikaw mismo, hindi sumusunod sa rules and regulations na dapat ay pinatutupad mo? I understood his dilemma.

"Bale tinalikuran mo na ang pagyoyosi?" tanong ni Alistair.

Madiin ang pagtango ni Rye. "Unti-unti, hanggang sa tuluyan nang mawala sa sistema ko. Kung tinanggihan ko noon ang offer ni Maggie, baka hanggang ngayon, palihim pa rin akong naninigarilyo."

"And you would probably have lung cancer," Loki jested, which no one found amusing.

"I'm a changed man now, I guess?" Rye smirked. "Thanks to the execom."

Napangiti ako. Hindi gano'n kadaling tumalikod sa nakasanayan na.

"Change is not a destination, but a long winding road," Luthor commented. "The journey does not stop where you think it stops. You have to keep on moving consistently if you want to stay on the course, or lag behind if you want to change for the worse."

"Nakaka-tempt minsan na bumalik sa nakagawian," tugon ni Rye sabay lingon sa kanyang katabi. "Pero kailangang panindigan kung ano ang pagbabagong sinimulan. Para sa ikabubuti ko naman 'to."

Props to Rye for not giving in to temptation. While I may not have any history of addiction, changing your ways even in the simplest of matters is still challenging.

"Now, why don't we hear from my brother?" Loki motioned his right hand toward Luthor. "Let's find out what's the vice president's most memorable moment, if he has any. Though I bet it's something so boring."

"Share it with us, Lulu!" Jamie cheered.

We all turned to him. Luthor drew in a long breath as we waited. He seemed to be unfazed by the pressure.

"None," he answered.

Kumurap ang mga mata ko sa kanya. Natawa sa kanyang upuan si Loki habang napapahampas sa kanyang hita. Nagkapalitan naman ng tingin sina Jamie at Alistair. Rye did not look surprised at all.

"Told you!" Loki exclaimed, pointing at his brother. "He's the most boring being in the planet. He has no memorable moments because he only exists. He doesn't live."

"Perhaps the most accurate way to put it is that I do not see things the way you see things," Luthor retorted. "You give more value to a certain moment in your life while I give equal value to everything. Therefore nothing stands out to me."

"You can't be serious, right?" I asked, furrowing my brows. Hindi pa rin kasi ako makapaniwala. "Hindi ba memorable sa 'yo na naging student council vice president ka? You got the position that you ran for."

Luthor's cold gaze landed on me. "That was a calculated and expected outcome. It did not come as a surprise to me at all when I found out that I won the elections."

"How about falling in love or something?" Jamie's forehead creased. Kahit siya'y duda sa sagot ni Luthor.

Sino ba naman ang maniniwala na may isang tao na walang memorable moment? Forget about the most memorable! Kahit isang alaala lang sa buhay niya na tumatak sa kanya.

"He hasn't fallen in love with anyone," Loki interrupted. "Oh, wait. He has! With himself."

"Wala namang masama sa self love kung gano'n ang trip niya," sabi ni Jamie.

"Don't you enjoy doing things?" Alistair asked. Even he could not believe it. "The things that we usually enjoy are memorable to us."

"I enjoy being the student council vice president," Luthor answered. "I enjoy the council duties—"

"—and manipulating people and events?" Loki cut his words short. I shushed him.

"But they're not enjoyable enough for you to consider them memorable?" I jumped in.

Luthor shook his head firmly. "As I have said, I give equal value to every moment so none of them stands out to me."

"Every moment for him is like an item in his to-do list," Loki explained to us with matching hand gestures. "Once he ticks a box, he moves on to the next item. He doesn't find pleasure in anything. He does things because he has to do things."

I thought Loki was already peculiar in his views. I did not expect his brother to be way more peculiar. Magkapatid nga ang dalawang 'to.

"Medyo kakaiba ang point of view niya," pakurap-kurap na komento ni Jamie. She then shrugged her shoulders. "Kung gano'n talaga ang pananaw niya sa buhay, ano ba'ng magagawa natin?"

We had another round of questions. This time, mas light na kumpara sa naunang tanong ni Jamie. Game na game kaming sumagot nina Alistair, Jamie at Rye habang may pagdadalawang-isip to the point na muntikan nang maging killjoy ang magkapatid na Mendez. With some urging from us, we managed to make them answer.

"Your most embarrassing moment?" tanong ko.

"Do I really need to answer...?" Loki's voice trailed off when he noticed me watching him intently. "Fine! When the librarian shouted at me in the library because I tried to point out to her that she wasn't properly following the Dewey Decimal System."

"What?!" sabay naming reaksyon ni Jamie. I thought it's gonna something so simple, like slipping on a banana peel.

"'Yon ba ang dahilan kung bakit naka-blacklist ka sa library?" tanong ko. He mentioned to me once na kapag pumasok siya sa library, magliliparan ang mga libro patungo sa direksyon niya.

Loki nodded. "She's the first and only human being who shouted at me in the presence of other students. It would have been perfectly okay if she's right and I was wrong. But I was in the right. She can't accept the fact that a student pointed out that she's doing her job improperly. She said something along the lines of 'E 'di ikaw na ang mag-librarian!' before throwing a book at me."

"Hindi mo ba siya nireklamo? Ang lakas ng loob niyang batuhin ng libro ang Loki dear ko!"

"What for? The school administration will only issue her a memo and let her off the hook."

Now that answered the question of why he could not go there. One mystery stricken off the list.

"How about you, Luthor?" tanong ni Jamie sabay bato ng tingin sa kanya. "Any embarrassing moment that you'd like to share with us?"

I already expected na sasabihin niyang "none." If he did not have any memorable moment, then he might not have any embarrassing moment for him. I also don't think he would be open to tell us any scenario that brought him discomfort.

"There is one." His answer surprised me. So he does know how to be embarrassed!

"Ano 'yon? I-share na 'yan! I-share na 'yan!"

"During the election day, I accidentally wrote my name in the blank for the president instead of the vice president."

"Hah!" Loki exclaimed, pointing a finger at him. "Freudian slip!"

His brother ignored him. "I asked for an additional ballot so I can rectify my mistake. But the election officer did not let me have one. She scolded me and reminded me that in real life, we only have one shot. One bullet in our gun. Thus we cannot afford to miss."

Muling kumurap ang mga mata ko sa kanya. It may be embarrassing for him, but it was not as embarrassing as Jamie slipping on stage during a live performance or Alistair trying to get in the wrong car that had the same model as his vehicle.

May isa pang question si Jamie na sinagutan naming lahat bago namin mapagdesisyunang matulog na. Isa-isa kaming gumamit ng portalet para maligo at mag-toothbrush. Dahil may limang set lang kami ng toiletries, kinailangan naming mag-share kay Rye. Wala kasi siyang dala at hindi rin siya kasama sa original count namin. Malay ba naming sasali siya sa aming team?

We had the same math problem in the tent. There were only five sleeping bags and six of us in the camp (since Rye defected to us). Alistair offered to share the sleeping bag with him, but it was not enough to fit the two of them. The solution? Ipinagtabi ang sleeping bags nina Alistair at Luthor para magkaroon ng sapin si Rye. He may not be fully covered, but it's better than sleeping on the cold, solid ground.

Jamie tried to place her sleeping bag next to Loki para daw mas maging sweet ang dreams niya. Alam ko namang wala siyang gagawin na kung anong kababalaghan. But just to be sure, I squeezed my sleeping bag between them. She could only turn to me on her left and to Alistair on her right.

We took the two flags inside the tent and laid them down. Si Luthor na ang nag-volunteer na bantayan sa kanyang tabi ang mga bandera namin. Loki opposed to the idea as expected. He was still suspicious of his brother. May tatlong lalaki sa side na 'yon kaya secured naman ang aming flags.

Today was tiring, but it was totally worth it.
