Puffin Campfire, Monday Evening

[alchemic-bean.livejournal.com]

Edward sat himself down at the edge of the fire ring, eyeing the fire as he cautiously set a few books down. Hunting around for a little bit dug up a proper stick for marshmallow roasting, and opening a bag of large poofy marshmallows, Edward set some marshmallows to roasting.

Open for all your Puffin campfire needs!

A jail cell. Of all the things to make out of sticks... "My workshops don't start until Wednesday, but in the meantime being in the cabins is a nice change."

"It's...it's a change, alright."

Seras *liked* her roommates, but she wasn't sure she was quite comfortable sharing sleeping quarters and a bathroom with boys.

Seras held up her tiny popscicle stick jail cell. Of course, most jail cells weren't decorated with green glitter. But, it had been there, and she had been, somehow, unable to resist.

"If any mice or bugs break the law with in the vicinty of the campgrounds, we'll deal with them right and proper."

Alphonse had to laugh at that. "I'll report any crimes I see right away to you, then!"

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

Seras nodded.

"See that you do, citizen. The raccoons and mosquitos have got to learn that they can't bother innocent, law-abiding campers and get away with it."

"I'll do my best, ma'am!" Alphonse saluted, but not without slipping another chuckle.

"At ease, soldier," said Seras with a chuckle of her own.

Then, she turned and began to toast her marshmallow.

Alphonse grabbed a few more marshmallows from the bag and stuffed them in his mouth. "I kinda like them better not roasted," he said idly. "I always end up burning them."

"You can't transmute them back to an unburned marshmallow?"

Seras rather liked her marshmallows on the crispy side.

"Uh, well I could, but I don't normally use alchemy for everything." He looked at the marshmallow in his hand oddly. "Food's not something I'd really use it on."

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

Seras nodded.

"Well, that makes sense. Seeing as how you've got to expend energy to make the alchemy work, right?"

She'd been mostly joking, anyhow.

"Aw, well a marshmallow isn't that big of a deal," he said. "Sometimes it's good to leave things how they were made to be, or things that got messed up left to be."

Seras nodded.

"Oh, that reminds me! Have you met a fellow named Demyx?"

She pulled her marshmallow out of the fire and blew on it to cool it. Crispy black on the outside, gooey on the inside. Perfect.

"Demyx? I believe I have, once before."

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

"Well, he does water and healing magic," said Seras, "Which sort of reminded me of alchemy. Seeing as they both use elements and the people doing them need to expend their own energy. D'you think the two are anything alike?"

[kitty--fetish.livejournal.com]

"Hmm." Alphonse thought about this for a moment. Sure, she was comparing alchemy to something related to magic, but overall it was a decent one, at least. "You know, that's a good question. I'd say the one difference though is that magic is capable of breaking scientific laws and isn't bound by certain rules. I'm not very familiar with healing alchemy, all though the idea does exist."

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

Seras nodded.

"You may want to speak to Demyx, then. Sounds like it could be interesting for the both of you."

She slid the marshmallow from her stick and popped it into her mouth.

Mmm...melty.
