Squirrel Campfire - A quiet Saturday morning

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi is sitting by the campfire, which does have a fire going.

Not a roaring fire. And not exactly "fire" per sae, more like a pile of glowing coals. It doesn't give off a lot of light but it does give off quite a bit of heat to hold back the chilly morning fog.

Also in the fire ring are a number of foil wrapped pouches, a coffee pot, and a Dutch oven from which comes the smell of baking bread.

Pippi wonders if the birds are sleeping in this morning.

[[ooc: Don't be shy about asking for some breakfast! ...If you can figure out how.]]

Pip waved to Pippi as he sat down at the fire. He pointed at the at the pouches with a questioning look on his face.

Pippi opened her mouth to talk but nothing came out.

Hmm, first she couldn't hum, now she can't talk.

She turns her attention back to Pip and makes a motion bringing her hand to her mouth as if eating. Then she pointed to a nonresistant watch on her wrist and then held her thumb and forefinger close together to indicate a little bit.

She pointed to the coffee pot with a questioning look on her face.

Pip blinked.

"Sure, but what's with all the miming."

Is what he wanted to say.

Instead, he said:

"..."

He blinked in suprised. And then cursed several times in three languages.

Or rather, he didn't.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Well, that answered that question.

She waited for him to finish not cursing.

Pip sighed silently. He pointed at the coffee and nodded, mouthing "Fandom."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi nodded at him with a sympathetic smile and poured him some coffee.

Offering it she pointed to where the cream and sugar was.

Pip took it thankfully. And silently. Like a silent French mercenary who can't talk.

He tried to think of a way that he could use to indicate his query of what the food was.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi, in the meantime was looking around at the ground as if she dropped something.

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip looked around to see if he could see what Pippi was looking for. Whatever it was.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi found what she was looking for.

It was brown a sticky. (A stick!)

She smoothed out a patch of dirt and wrote.

WALTER
NADIA
WHERE?

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip nodded and scrounged up a similar stick.

DON'T KNOW.
AT DORMS
PRIVATE TIME?

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi nodded in agreement with Pip.

She cleared the patch of dirt and wrote.

THOUGHT QUIET
BECAUSE THEY'RE GONE
GUESS NOT HUH?

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip nodded and cleared his patch.

FREAKY MAGICAL THING
HOPEFULLY NOT DANGER
IS JUST SPEECH OR ALL SOUNDS?

Seras was a little peeved when she stepped out of the cabin. She'd heard of getting a frog in one's throat, but this was ridiculous.

And, she couldn't even call in sick to work.

She wrapped her jacket a little more tightly about herself and gave a sheepish wave to those assembled around the campfire.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi waved Seras over and took up the poker to write in the dirt.

CAN'T TALK HUH?

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

Seras pointed to Pippi and mouthed "You too?"

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi nodded and waved her hand around to indicate... other people and possibly the birds in the trees.

Next to her, Mr. Neilson jumped up and down waving his hat. It looked like he was trying to screech angrily... But nothing was coming out.

HAVE SOME BREAKFAST?

Is scratched into the dirt.

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

Seras looked sympathetically at Mr. Neilson.

She nodded and mouthed 'Thank you'.

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi gave her a thumbs up.

Mr. Neilson sulked.

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

Seras smiled then picked up a poker and scratched into the dirt.

EVERYONE OKAY?

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi nodded.

SO FAR FINE JUST VOICE GONE.
WALTER AND NADIA NOT IN WHEN I GOT UP
POSSIBLY WENT FOR ALONE TIME?
NADIA HAS DETENTION WILL WORRY IF SHE DOES NOT SHOW UP FOR THAT.

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

Seras nodded.

LET ME KNOW IF YOU DON'T SEE THEM TODAY
WILL GO LOOKING FOR THEM AFTER WORK

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

YOU HAVE CEL PHONE?
I'LL TEXT MESSAGE YOU

[union-jane.livejournal.com]

Seras winced.

I DON'T.

I'll JUST MEET YOU BACK HERE?

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi nodded.

OR I'LL SEND MR. NEILSON WITH A NOTE.

IF I CAN FIGURE HOW TO TELL HIM TO TAKE IT TO YOU...
