[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Just before sunset Veronica heads out to the campfire, this time determined to start it on her own.

"Hey, Veronica," Piper said, approaching her friend. "Need help with that?"

Veronica looked up. "Thanks, but I'm determined to get this on my own this time," she said. "I'm trying to remember exactly how Anakin arranged the wood last time."

She fiddled with the configuration some more and leaned back on her heels to study it. "What's up?"

[absolutesnark]

"Well, let me know if you can't figure it out. I never did get a chance to start one with my power," Piper said, almost pouting.

"So, radio was interesting last night," she continued.

Veronica moved a couple more sticks around and added some wadded up paper to use as kindling.

"I cannot believe they broke into the radio station and did the broadcast!" she ranted. "I wasn't even that late."

[absolutesnark]

"Yeah, that was pretty crazy...especially some of the things they said. Guess I can't blame them for what's written in the notes, though," Piper said.

A Bit Later In The Evening

[sensethevisions]

Phoebe had managed to avoid most people after she got out of detention and had walked in the woods to get back to the camp.

She stood at Koala, but didn't walk into it. She wasn't sure she could handle being in there right now with the things that were on her mind.

She looked around the camp... and saw Veronica over by her cabin's fire.

Taking a deep breath and trying to swallow any concern or jealousy that she was feeling, she walked over to her.

"Hey."

"Hey," Veronica greeted Phoebe. "I did that by myself," she said, pointing to the fire. "How are you?"

"Congrats," she said with a smile. "I had to cheat and use a zippo until I got the hang of it."

The question cut a little deep and Phoebe was silent for a moment. "If I said perfectly fine, would you believe me?"

Veronica gave Phoebe a concerned look. "Probably not, since I heard what happened in your cabin the other night. What's up?"

Phoebe was generally better at this, but this time she was hurt and confused...and a little jealous.

"Veronica... are you and Cole..."

Tim had his water gun, but since his experiences previously, he was leery of using it. He waved to Veronica and co., the green plastic pistol tucked into his shorts.

Veronica was a little off balance from her conversations with Piper and Phoebe, but she managed a smile and wave.

"Hey, Tim. How's it going?" she asked.

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

"Not too bad. Managed, despite my best efforts to get to work on time today. you know anyone who isn't likely to shoot, stab, beat with a stick, or tackled a guy who's just trying to help stave off the heat would you?" he pulled the pistol out of his waist band and showed it to her. finger off the trigger, just in case she had like, a tazer or something.

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica studied the water gun with her eyes raised. "A few days ago when it was over 90, I'd have said no. Today? I'm not so sure," she said.

"Where are you working?"

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

Tim shrugged. "Save it for another time then." he said.

"I work at the diner." he said. "Last weekend I got to set up the brunch."

[absolutesnark]

"Hey Tim. Haven't seen you since you helped us move a few weeks ago. How've you been?" Piper asked curiously.

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

"Keeping busy." Tim said. "Fandom welcomed me with possesed students, but since then aside from inciting beatings with a water pistol, and having the woods switch the trails around on me, I've kept out of trouble."

[absolutesnark]

"The woods switched trails?" Piper blinked. Only in Fandom.

"Doctor O? You there? Hey, Doctor O?"

Conner wandered past with a long stick in hand, prodding frequently at the empty air and occasionally squinting at stationary objects as if hoping they'd move.

He wasn't really paying much attention to anyone in the area who was actually visible.

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

Veronica sat back and watched Conner, clearly amused. She debated greeting him or just watching, since watching was actually making her smile.

She finally decided to be nice. "Hey, Conner."

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

Conner started at the sound of his name and turned to look. "Oh. Hey, Veronica," he said, unsuccessfully trying to hide the stick behind his back. "Uh, don't mind me."

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"It's not the weirdest thing I've ever seen," Veronica said mildly. "What's going on?"

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

This seemed like only the third time he'd actually seen his room mate. He was confused, but was sure there was a perfectly illogical explanation. "Uhm, need any help there?"

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Tim." Conner fidgeted a little bit. "Not really?"

He peered over his shoulder. "Did that leaf just move or is it just me?"

[grand-fallguy.livejournal.com]

Tim peered over his shoulder. "Could be," he said, thinking that there was probably something strange going on. "Hard to say, the wind could have rustled a few. Anything in particulare you're looking for?"
