Pot-Bellied Pig Campfire, Monday Evening

[swerval_zero]

Zero got out her acoustic guitar and went to see about getting a fire started. She had fond memories of campfires on family vacations as a kid--after the bruises healed from their encounter with the neo-fascists of the beach, that was. There were usually s'mores, but she didn't have any marshmallows yet; she'd have to go to the store tomorrow.

Once the fire was crackling merrily away, she sat back and started trying out lyrics for a new song as she strummed away at her guitar.

"Stop clowning around
Give him back now
This is no good for you
La la la something something-- Squall."

((Open to all.))

Parker was making her way back from Jarod's class when she heard a familiar voice, and put on speed. "Zero! Zero Zero Zero!"

[swerval_zero]

"Parker! Parker Parker Parker!" Zero responded as she put down her guitar and hopped up to meet her designer-clad friend. "Hi there!"

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Hey there! God, I'm so glad you're back." Parker actually managed a one-armed hug-type thing, grinning the whole time. "But *why* are you back? You had the whole documentary school thing lined up for the entire summer, I thought."

[swerval_zero]

Zero rolled her eyes. "At the end of first term, I got an e-mail tellin' me to come to the admissions office an' they were all 'Oh we lost your enrollment oops.' So I said, 'Fine, I'm goin' back to Fandom.' An' here I am! I meant to e-mail you, but it all happened so fast."

"No problema. But wow, they suck. I hope the losers refunded your fees. I'm just glad you're back. Although if they'd screwed up a little sooner, you could've been back in time for Jarod's birthday masquerade." Parker grinned. "Now you'll just have to be content with new and weird workshops to go to."

[swerval_zero]

"Yeah, my da was gonna talk to them. Or make Rat talk to them--one thing about the time he went boring, he's really good at stuff like that. I missed Jarod's party? Squall!" Zero tugged at a strand of hair and said thoughtfully, "It's still not too late to get him a present, is it?"

Cally plopped down at the campfire.

"Heya Zero," she said.

[ooc: Slow to respond for the next couple hours. Work and all.]

[swerval_zero]

"Cally! Hi! What's up, and also, what rhymes with 'avocado?'"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Not much, not much," Cally said, thinking. "Erm... I think El Dorado might work?"

[swerval_zero]

"Yeah?" Zero thought about it. "Might be able to make El Dorado work. So, everything's just swerval with you?" She already knew from speaking with Anders, of course, but she wasn't going to push Cally.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"I wouldn't go so far as to say swerval," Cally said. "Coming off... oh, yeah. Erm, Anders and I are no longer attached at the 'n', by the way."

Nadia, in the manner of the rats that followed that mythical piper of pie, found herself wandering to where there was music.

"Hey, people."

[swerval_zero]

"Hi, person," Zero said cheerily. "Long time, no see."

[nadiathesaint]

"That's right! Did you go on vacation?"

[swerval_zero]

"No, I was at film school, tryin' to get some requirements in early. Except then they lost my enrollment because they suck and blow. Concurrently.."

[nadiathesaint]

"That . . . takes talent. So you decided to give Fandom another shot?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Hey Nadia," Cally said with a smile. "How ya doin'?"

[nadiathesaint]

Nadia grinned. "I'm good. How are you holding up?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Holdin' up just fine," Cally said. "S'amazing how much you get better when you decide you have to."

[nadiathesaint]

"Yeah? I'm glad." Nadia wondered whether she ought to mention her conversation with Jack Harkness, today. She decided she probably shouldn't.

Let it be a surprise.

Peter walked over to Pot-Bellied Pig a while after his workshop ended. He needed to say hi, after all. "Hey, Zero," Peter said, sitting down by her. "And hello to the rest of you very nice ladies as well."

[swerval_zero]

"Hey, Peter. I'm writing a song about you. Well. Partly about you." Zero grinned miscievously and said, "There are also clowns."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I think I'll like this song," Peter said. "Did you get to the part with your mother yet?"

[swerval_zero]

"Not yet. I have to come up with a rhyme."

[peter--parker.livejournal.com]

"Um... How about something something you stupid clown, my mom just knocked you down?" Peter tried, proving that as far as being a songwriter was concerned, he was a terrific superhero.
