Stickbug Campfire - Afternoon

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

It's too hot for a fire, but the shade from some nearby trees and cooler full of drinks still makes the Stickbug campfire a very nice place to be.

Actually it would be a nice place to be anyway because Stickbugs rule.

But everyone knows that.

Jamie is sitting back enjoying a cool beverage and reading a book, but is immensely botherable.

Nadia was meandering around the camp site bored out of her mind with nothing in particular to do, and decided it might be fun to go bother tease provoke say hi to her dorm roommate, since they'd be living together again at the end of the week.

"Hey Jamie,"

"Hey Roomie," Jamie said with a grin and nodded to the cooler. "Would you like a delightfully cool beverage?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Sure. What have you been up to? I haven't heard any reports of hilarity on the radio in the last day or so. . . ."

Since she was up early, Sam meandered over in the direction of Stickbug cabin. "Morning."

Marie is heading back to her cabin after her writing workshop and notices Jamie and decides to say hello.

"Hey, Jamie."

"Hi Sam," Jamie said with a wave. "Would you like a cool beverage?"

"Hello fellow Dadaist," Jamie said with a grin. "Would you like to join me in a lovely beverage?"

"On Saturday I tried out for the cheerleading squad. I don't think I got it in because the cheer captain is a meerkat. Yesterday I went to the movies. Pod People. Worst movie ever," Jamie said. "I saw every single showing. What about you?"

[nadiathesaint]

"I . . . also tried out for cheerleading." And the less said about that, the better. I mean, she knows how to do a good Russian accent, so, buh? "And spent most of yesterday just bumming around while my mun went and got a life for a day." She shook her head. "Why did you go to every showing?"

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

"Sure," Marie replied with a grin of her own. "It is a little warm out here."

Funny thing? Marie, being from Mississippi, really only thought it was a little warm her mun, on the other hand, is dying.

She sat down on the grass, cross-legged. "That would be lovely, thank you, Jamie."

"Haven't you ever seen a movie that is so bad that you have to watch it again and again just to heckle it?" Jamie asked. "It's a very worthwhile thing to do."

Jamie open up the cooler and tossed Sam a drink. "So Sam, what have you been up to lately?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

Jamie tossed Marie a can of soda. "So what have you been up to lately Miss Marie? I haven't seen you or heard your southern drawl since the cheerleading tryouts."

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Nothing much," Sam shrugged, popping the top on the soda can. "Mostly lazing around and being entertained by my cabinmates. What about you?"

[nadiathesaint]

"I can't say I have." Nadia took a seat. "So I've been meaning to ask you, why the Meerkats?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Tried out for cheerleading the other day and yesterday I went to the movies," Jamie replied. "All in all a fun weekend. What cabin are you in?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"Cheerleading? Um, why?" Sam asked, and replied automatically, "Not Meerkat."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Why the Meerkats?" Jamie said as he scratched his head looking a little puzzled. "Not sure exactly. I think it's because a couple of the guys in our cabin have a 'thing' for the girls over at Meerkat. Why do you ask?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Cheerleading? Well, I was bored. I was also covered in glitter which might have drove me to it as an alternative to boykissy. I'm sure that I won't get in based on the fact that two meerkats were judging the whole thing," Jamie answered. "And I know you're not in Meerkat. You don't want me to know where you live?"

Marie caught the can and waited a few moments before attempting to open it.

"I've mostly just been hanging out in my cabin," Marie said. "By the way, nice tryout. I hope you make the team."

[nadiathesaint]

"Just curious." Nadia shrugged. "Those guys do know that there are better ways to get a girl's attention than putting ducks in their cabin and exploding cheesecake on them, right?"

[carter-i-am.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure they'll do whatever's best for their squad," Sam said, even though she knew no such thing. "And evil substance, that glitter. I think it has mind-control properties at this place."

"I just wanted to be clear about that part," she said, amused, "I'm over in Seahorse. On the side with Jack, D'anna, and Cedric."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"I doubt I will," Jamie said with a shrug. "There were Meerkat judges there and they know how to hold a grudge. Besides the only reason I tried out is because I was affected by glitter."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Seahorse. Isn't that the shirtless cabin?" Jamie asked. "I'm sure that makes Jack very happy."
