Pangolin Campfire [Monday Evening]

Bridge has tacked a large white bedsheet to the wall of Koala cabin that faces the Pangolin campfire. RIC is nearby, in DVD-player mode, with the second season of Twilight Seraphim loaded and ready to play. There's snack foods, and, of course, s'more fixings, for sharing if anyone else cared to join him.

[ooc: open! come watch dvds outside!]

"DVDs," Bridge grins, waving at RIC and then the bedsheet-screen. "It's a bigger screen than the TV inside, and it's warm enough, so..."

"So you're brilliant and we're watching TV outside," she grinned back. "Need a hand, or are you all set?"

"All set, I think. Don't need to worry about a generator or anything, RIC's got his own power source. So just grab a seat and some snack food, and enjoy," Bridge says.

Sam did as instructed and stretched out on the grass. "What're we watching?"

"Twilight Seraphim," Bridge explains. "Old show about what they thought the future might be like in a couple of decades."

"I didn't see any episodes when it was on," Sam said, then asked, "Did they get any of it right?"

"Well, not really," Bridge says. "I mean- there's no aliens in this show."

"How can you have a show without aliens?"

"Exactly!" Bridge says. "I mean, there's genetically engineered humans in this show, but that's just not the same."

"No! I mean, the idea of a future without aliens is just short-sighted, not to mention xenophobic," Sam started. "I mean, the potential for other humanoid races is relatively low because of the odds involved against it, but that doesn't mean that development on other planets or in other galaxies doesn't exist. The odds against that are just as significant."

"Well... yeah. Where I come from, there've been non-humans living on Earth for... pretty much as long as I can remember, actually."

"That's very cool," Sam said, wanting to play compare the alien species with Bridge, but not willing to go quite that far.

"It can be, yeah. I mean- Earth is definitely not, like, a major centre of intergalactic culture or anything, but there's people from all over the galaxies."

"Do you like that part of living in the future?"

"Well, it's all I've known, before coming here, so I guess so."

Sam nodded. "Okay. So...what workshops are you taking?"

"Flight and Flying, Wilderness Survival, Advanced Computers, and, um, Sex Ed." Yes, he's actually progressed beyond just calling it "Becky's class" now. "What about you?"

"Oh, cool, we'll be in Wilderness Survival together," Sam smiled, then warned, "Don't get too attached to your shoes, and make sure you wear underwear to class. I'm taking Constant Vigilance with the, er, new Doctor and something about a Kludge with Harper, who I haven't met yet."

"Yeah, I actually crashed the class where everyone had to make their own clothes. It was kinda fun, aside from the nakedness. I don't mind being barefoot, though."

"I should toughen up my feet a little before class," she considered, "but no, I'm not big on the nakedness either. Well, unless I'm in a nudity appropriate situation."

Bridge laughs. "Yeah, I'm all for nudity having a specific time and a place. But... that time is not during class."

"That's not what I heard from the people who took Wilderness Survival last session," Sam laughed. "And I wouldn't be surprised if there was nudity in Sex Ed., either."

"Well, I meant in an ideal sort of world," Bridge explains. "And... I suppose you have a point with the Sex Ed thing."

"So, build anything interesting lately?"

"Well, I upgraded Xander's laptop so it dispenses chocolate," Bridge says with a grin. "But actual building-stuff-from-scratch? I haven't done in a while. Waiting for inspiration to strike, I guess."
