Aye Aye Campfire, Thursday Morning

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

". . . and that's how you GET TO LLAMA SCHOOL!"

*beep beep*

". . . and that's how you GET TO LLAMA SCHOOL!"

Yes, Archie was playing with his phone again. And he already had far too many gratuitous pictures of the campsite on it. Really, he ought to have been working on his photography assignment, but he was done with workshops until Monday and anyway, the camera didn't play the llama school song. This was more fun.

Luckily, he wasn't so distracted by the phone that the bacon and eggs he had going in a pan over the fire were going to burn. But he'd probably drive anyone within earshot insane with that ringtone if nobody stopped him.

[OOC: Open, verily. He'll totally share food.]

Nadia, despite a raging hangover, was attempting to be social.

She followed the siren's call of the llama school song.

*clapclapclapclap*

"Hi, Archie."

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

"Nadia," Archie greeted her cheerfully. "You're looking . . . a bit less than chipper this morning. And yet very into the spirit of the llama school song!" A few more button-presses, and --

". . . and that's how you GET TO LLAMA SCHOOL!" The frying pan almost seemed to pop on cue with the claps.

He slipped the phone back into his pocket and turned the bacon in the pan. "Can I offer you breakfast, or is food not an enticing option in your present state?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Not enticing, but probably still a good idea. Just some eggs?" Nadia flopped down. "Just don't let me start reciting poetry."

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

"There's nothing wrong with perfectly good poetry," Archie replied, fishing the bacon out of the pan and putting it on a plate. "Bad poetry, on the other hand . . . how would you like your eggs?"

[nadiathesaint]

"Well cooked. Otherwise? I don't really care. And I don't remember if what I recited last night was good or bad. Did you know Dorothy Parker was emo?"

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

Archie opted for scrambled; that made for well-cooked eggs, and it gave his hands something to do other than make his phone's ringtone go off over and over again.

"I regret to say that I did not know this. Then again, I don't know who Dorothy Parker is. Not related to any of our resident Parkers, is she?"

[nadiathesaint]

"I don't think so. I found a book of her poetry at Caritas and started reading it. It was all about death and the stupidity of love."

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

"Ah, yes. That about encompasses the definition of emo as I've come to understand it here," Archie remarked. "Here you are -- eggs."

[nadiathesaint]

"Thanks." Nadia started eating slowly. "It was kind of funny, though. Like she knew she was emo and was being sarcastic."

"OH MY GOD..HE LIVES." Sawyer rejoices as he steps out of the cabin in a robe. "I thought I'd never see another aye-aye-er." Taking a seat by Archie and extending his hand. "Sawyer."

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

"Hello, Sawyer," Archie said cordially, taking his extended hand and shaking it firmly. "Archie Kennedy, fellow Aye-Aye, at your service. Care for some breakfast?"

[conathon.livejournal.com]

Shaking his hand back, Sawyer nods. "Sure. Why not mooch off a fellow Aye-Aye?"

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

Archie handed him a plate of eggs and bacon. "May as well. There aren't many of us. How is cabin life treating you?"

[conathon.livejournal.com]

"Sweetly. I've got a bunkmate nearly everynight." Chuckling a little as he tries the food on the plate with utter glee. "This tastes great. Did you make this?"

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

"A good thing we're not in one of the busier cabins, then," Archie grinned. "I've seen people share bunks in even less private conditions than this, but I imagine it's not to be preferred."

He helped himself to a little more bacon and added, "I did, but it's about the extent of my cooking abilities. Still, I'm glad it suits."

[conathon.livejournal.com]

Sawyer finishes his plate quickly. "Well, we don't do that" Lie. Lie. Lie. "But yeah, she just doesn't like her cabin. Soooo...that tasted great !" Change of subject. Smooth.

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

"It wouldn't bother me, you know," Archie said offhandedly, but let the subject drop. Coming from someone who spent a perfectly innocent weekend with his girlfriend in the (accidentally assigned) honeymoon suite of a fancy hotel, it would have been silly anyway. "Care for a little more?"

"Colorado to Lasss Palmass?"

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

Archie pulled out the phone again and played the ringtone.

". . . and that's how you GET TO LLAMA SCHOOL!"

"Hello, Pippi!"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Hey Archie. How you doing?"

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

"Rather well this morning. And yourself, o fellow mariner?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Hale and hearty." she said. "And rather at loose ends since I have no classes this day."

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

"Calm seas and no wind, eh?" Archie grinned. "I'm in the same boat, as I'm free until Monday."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Yes, I'm in the Windless Passage of official school activities." she nodded. "Oh, long weekend, that sounds nice. What are you taking?"

[actingltcrumpet.livejournal.com]

"Earth Music and Photography. An unlikely pair of subjects for me, but so far I believe I'm enjoying them."
