Stickbug Campfire [late evening]

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

Greg, it should be noted, was neither emo nor pouty.

'Thoughtful' might be a good word to use, though, and on someone like Greg, it may have beared a passing resemblance to emo. Perhaps emo's second cousin, or the like.

In any case, he was there, poking gently at the hot embers with a stick and trying to keep the smoke from hitting him in the face.

[Open like an open thing that's open to people who want to visit the Stickbug campfire omg.]

Parker can only read so much noir before the urge to either hunt down her boyfriend or find a cigarette kicks in, so instead, she goes spiralling out around the campsite, and comes across Greg. "Hey, Greggie. Still up?" She sits down near him, and puts her hands out to the fire.

"No, I'm sleepwalking. Or maybe this is a dream," Greg replied, perfectly straight-faced. "And tomorrow, you'll wake up feeling awesome because you'll have had a dream about Greg."

Escaping the all female environment of Meerkat for a moment, Zack sat himself down by the fire. "Hey Greg."

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"Hello, Zack who is rooming with seven girls," Greg said."How's that working out for you?"

Parker waves to Zack too. "Welcome to Greg's dream. I'm a figment of your imagination."

Alec has an awesome cabin, but they're a lot less awesome when they're all asleep and he's not. So he goes towards the light, finding Stickbug campfire at least somewhat peopled.

He takes a seat, though somewhat noticeably not-close to the fire. "Evening, fellow campers."

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"But are you a happy camper?" Greg asked seriously.

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

"Hey Alec," Zack waved.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Or very very early good morning," Parker said, sticking her feet toward the fire. "What do you think of Camp SleepyFun so far?"

James didn't have to escape anybody. Aside from his usual roomie, there was nobody else on his side of Potbelly Pig to put up with.

So, escaping the norm, James had taken a rather zigzaggy hike past the firepit of Potbelly Pig, behind Aye Aye, up past Puffin, then he cut clear across the open activities area, weaving around Squirrel, Pangolin, Koala, and Three-Toed Sloth before cutting past the main campfire and realizing that there was a fire blazing over at the Stickbug firepit.

Ah, excitement!

Holding his glove-covered hands toward the fire, he meandered up and joined the party.

"You have blue hair," Greg said by way of greeting.

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker waved to him. "Hey. Parker. Welcome to the potential nightmare."

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

"Hey," Zack waved. "New guy?"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

Alec lifted a hand to wave to the new guy. "Nice uniform."

Xander, unable to sleep, wandered out of Snake and towards the first sign of life that he could spot. Unconcerned with the fact that he knew none of these people, he took a seat.

"Hey."

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"Welcome to the Stickbug campfire, which is a phrase I never thought I'd say," Greg greeted.

[twohalvesofaphd.livejournal.com]

"Hey."

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker looked up, surprised to see someone she had completely missed meeting so far. "Hey. I'm Parker. Whose subconscious did you escape from?"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"Hey," Alec said with a nod and a vague, thoughtful frown. "I haven't met you yet, I 'm pretty sure."

[rocketbitch.livejournal.com]

"Hey!" James said with a wave of the hand.

Now, to start off a conversation.

Odd things seemed to be a good way to start conversations around these parts... Hm.

"I have blue hair!"

... Perhaps that wasn't what he was going for.

Apparently the squidball was in the small bag of essentials. Cam-Mollusc rolled up to the firespot.

/Kitty?/

[like-a-sponge.livejournal.com]

"...is that a squid in a hamster ball?"

[rocketbitch.livejournal.com]

"FRIEND!"

James bounced over to the little mollusc, holding out his arms happily.

"It's been so long!

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker blinked. "Escaped again, have we?"

[x5-alec.livejournal.com]

"What the hell?"
