Flamingo Campfire - Wednesday Evening [around sunset]

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica has never started a campfire.

But that isn't stopping her from trying.

Anyone wandering in the vicinity of the Flamingo cabin will see her sitting next to the fire ring, laptop propped on a chair and open to a website with instructions on how to start a campfire, desperately attempting to follow them. People nearby may also hear her swearing to herself because it doesn't seem to be working.


[open to all Flamingos or anyone else that happens to be wandering by]

"You were very close, yeah," Anakin said, smiling at her. "And the matches helped."

He sat down and stretched his legs towards the fire. "How have you been?"

"I've been pretty good," Veronica said. "You probably heard that Angel and Logan left. That was kind of rough. But I taught my first workshop this morning and it went pretty well."

She glanced at him. "How about you? I heard that we weren't sure if you were coming back for the summer."

"I don't have my first one until Friday," he said. "I'm a little nervous."

He shifted his right hand further away from Veronica. "I had to go convince the Council back home that I could be trusted to be away from Obi-Wan for another few months," he said. "Then I got a little held up with a series of negotiations."

Veronica nodded. She had noticed the glove while he was arranging the sticks, but she didn't want to pry.

"Well, I'm glad they let you come back," she said. "And don't worry about the teaching. It went pretty smoothly for me. The worst problem I had was Bel calling me 'Ms. Mars' and Cam calling me 'Just Veronica'."

"Bel better not call me Ms. Mars," Anakin muttered. He gave her a wicked smile. "Don't suppose I could convince him to call me Master Skywalker, do you?"

"Maybe if you convinced him that you didn't want to be called that," Veronica suggested with a smirk. "Otherwise, he'll call you something that he knows will annoy you."

"Bel? Be annoying?" Anakin pretended to look shocked. "Never!"

Veronica chuckled. "You have Cam, too, don't you?" she asked, shaking her head. "Those two would be dangerous if they teamed up."

"It's going to be an interesting class," Anakin said, shaking his head. "But we can give detentions, right?"

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Yes, yes we can," Veronica said. "Not that I'd really want too though."

[emo-padawan.livejournal.com]

"Why not?" Anakin asked, eyes twinkling. "You think they'd vow dire retribution or something?"

"Hmm... knowing some of them, they might," Veronica said with a grin.
