literally just visiting walmart (Sleepaway Ritual)

Even without the influence of the Lindworm, camp life can be fraught. Sometimes, all you want is to feel like a person again. And sometimes, that means buying kitchy trash and store-brand groceries. Plus the opportunity to get into a real life car again.

This ritual is a fleeting moment to embrace the minutiae of day-to-day life outside of camp. A car ride can become a monumental event in another context; maybe you are a monumental event in another context. Then again, maybe you don't have to be.

Either way, everything comes back when you return to camp.

This is a ritual to be used in your Sleepaway game. I'd love to hear how it goes.
