Disventure Camp AU: Survive The Homophobes

In this one, you would have to survive. More info on the intro later. (Season 1-2 Cast!!!)

Characters

Tom Reed

Tom is essentially a big, lovable golden retriever wrapped in the body of a secret agent, making him physically formidable but incredibly anxious and easily overwhelmed on the inside. Because of his background, he has a massive protective streak and an instinctive drive to do the right thing, but his emotional communication is totally clumsy and guarded. He is fiercely loyal to the people he cares about, but his tendency to hide behind a wall of secrecy when feelings get too complicated means he is always tripping over his own feet emotionally. Ultimately, he is a deeply well-intentioned guy whose soft heart is constantly at war with his instinct to run away from drama.

Jake Reed

Jake is a swirling vortex of deep-seated insecurity and intense emotion, heavily guarded because of past betrayals and prone to letting his paranoia get the better of him. He wears his heart entirely on his sleeve, which often causes him to misinterpret situations, jump to conclusions, and let jealousy spark dramatic, stubborn conflicts with the people around him. Beneath that prickly and reactive exterior, however, lies a deeply affectionate person who desperately wants to be loved, reassured, and accepted for who he is.

Gabby Nowak

Gabby is a delightful explosion of pure, unhinged chaotic good—a wildly eccentric and fiercely passionate animal lover whose empathy is turned up to a million. She marches entirely to the beat of her own drum, shifting in a heartbeat from sweet, bubbly, and talking to woodland creatures to absolutely feral and terrifying if she perceives an injustice or if someone threatens her girlfriend, Ellie. Because her emotions are so raw and unfiltered, she can be incredibly unpredictable and prone to chaotic outbursts, but her eccentricities are grounded in a deeply genuine, loyal heart that refuses to compromise on her morals or abandon the people she loves. She is the ultimate wildcard: completely sweet, utterly unpredictable, and the exact kind of fiercely protective friend you’d want in your corner when things get crazy.

Ellie Parker

Ellie is a fiercely pragmatic, hyper-determined realist whose survival instincts are sharpened by the crushing weight of real-world financial stress. Unlike some of the more idealistic contestants, she views the game (and life) through a lens of pure necessity, making her willing to play dirty, lie, and make cold, calculated moves if it means securing her future. This ruthless streak can make her look cynical or villainous on the outside, but it stems from a place of deep exhaustion and desperation rather than malice.

Intro

The living room of Tom and Jake’s house was completely unrecognizable, transformed from a cozy shared space into a high-stakes command center. Outside, the distant, muffled chanting of "The Homophobes" echoed from down the street, but inside, the air was thick with pure, anxious anticipation. Tom stood by the heavily locked front door, his massive frame tense as his secret agent instincts took over; he was aggressively adjusting his tactical gear, his expression a mix of fierce protectiveness and sheer emotional overwhelm as he tried to mentally map out every possible exit route. On the couch, Jake was visibly spiraling, his arms wrapped tightly over his chest as his eyes darted from the drawn blinds to Tom, his mind furiously jumping to a million worst-case scenarios about what would happen if their perimeter was crossed. Across the room, their unexpected houseguests were dealing with the tension in their own unique ways. Gabby was kneeling by the sofa, fiercely whispering an elaborate, highly detailed rescue mission to Tom and Jake’s thoroughly confused house cat, her eyes wide with a bubbly yet totally unpredictable determination to protect her friends. Right beside her, Ellie was the picture of cold, hyper-determined pragmatism; completely ignoring the emotional drama, she sat on the coffee table, calmly organizing a backpack with flashlights, canned goods, and a first-aid kit, entirely focused on the logistics of how they were going to outlast the crowd outside. Suddenly, a loud, heavy knock rattled the front door, followed by a harsh megaphone announcement demanding they come out. Jake stiffened, his anxiety instantly spiking as he grabbed Tom’s sleeve. Tom immediately stepped into a defensive stance, shielding Jake, while Ellie quietly zipped up the supply bag with a cold, cynical sigh and Gabby stood up, narrowing her eyes at the door—the standoff had officially begun.
