Camp Placeholder S2E3 - "Super Action Funtimes Go!"

Momo, Tuffie, and Faye are super best camp friends, yay! But not everything’s funtimes in the land of Camp Placeholder. There are monsters in the woods, Lord Head Counselor’s calling for early dismissal, and Counselor Toady is seeming mighty suspicious! Can friendship and visible emotional displays save the world, or will the forces of evil stomp all over happiness in a not-fun way?

It’s been awhile since last we visited the impish tale of Robin Goodfellow, but for Heather and her… unconventional family, time has barely passed at all.
