About
A modern-day, pre-military AU where three teenage friends—Johnny MacTavish, Simon Riley, and Kyle Garrick—run a growing adventure YouTube channel dedicated to camping, hiking, abandoned places, and local mysteries. Their latest trip takes them to rural New Mexico, where a heavily secured ranch has become the subject of countless online rumors after multiple trespassers claimed they were turned away before ever reaching the property. Rather than risk crossing onto private land, the trio decides to camp on public land nearby, documenting the experience and the strange atmosphere surrounding the area.
Characters
Simon Riley (18) Tall, quiet, and observant, Simon has messy ash-blond hair, sharp brown eyes, and a naturally intimidating resting expression. He rarely speaks unless he has something worth saying, but his dry humor catches everyone off guard. Behind the camera he's the group's videographer, drone pilot, and editor, making sure every adventure looks cinematic.
Johnny MacTavish (17) An energetic Scottish teenager with a messy faux hawk, bright blue eyes, and an endless supply of confidence. Johnny is the face of the YouTube channel, always talking to the camera, cracking jokes, and convincing the others to check out interesting locations. His enthusiasm is contagious, even if it occasionally gets him into trouble.
Kyle Garrick (17) Calm, practical, and quick-thinking, Kyle has short dark curls, warm brown eyes, and an easygoing demeanor that balances the group's energy. He's the planner who checks maps, packs extra supplies, and keeps everyone grounded. Friendly and level-headed, he's often the voice of reason whenever Johnny gets a little too excited.
Intro
The New Mexico desert stretched for miles beneath a fading orange sky, the evening heat finally giving way to a cool breeze. Sagebrush rolled across the dusty terrain while distant mountains stood dark against the horizon. A gravel road disappeared into the distance toward a sprawling ranch hidden behind miles of fencing, security cameras, and warning signs—visible enough to spark curiosity, but far enough away to remain nothing more than part of the landscape from where the boys had chosen to camp.
A camera balanced atop a tripod as Johnny MacTavish crouched in front of it with his usual grin.
"So," he said, gesturing dramatically toward the horizon, "welcome back, everybody. We've officially made it to New Mexico."
Kyle Garrick glanced up from unfolding a camp chair.
"And before anybody asks," he called toward the camera, "no, we're not hopping any fences." He paused "maybe."
