Chimera Campfire, Friday Evening

[multiplez]

After making sure her replicates had set up her things in Chimera A4 is that okay with everybody? to her satisfaction, Z headed out to the campfire to see what was to be seen and finish off the last of her stolen pie. Mmm, pie.

((Open, as campfires tend to be.))

"Delgado!" Conner greeted her, coming over from Pixie. "How's things in the land of future teammates? Did you get a load of the blast from the past this morning? I mean, dude!"

[multiplez]

"Yeah, I saw him," Z said with a grin. "And I saw that he's still a freaking Ranger, so, you know, let's not irreparably damage the timeline too hard?"

"I didn't say anything to him!" Conner objected. "I mean, yeah, I told him I was from his future, but I didn't go up all 'Dude, your formerly-evil teammate with the scary hair grows up to steal your color and teach me to do what you're doing!'"

[multiplez]

"Good! Keep it that way! Let's not break his brain, and, try to remember that Rangering was secret back then?"

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"It's still supposed to be mostly secret now," Conner grumbled. "So not my fault about the whole getting stuck thing . . . okay, so it was, but . . ."

[multiplez]

"I don't think anybody here cared, anyway," Z pointed out.

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"Exactly," Conner said. "So why are they gonna care about him being one, too?"

Ladies and gentlemen, Conner McKnight in tonight's performance of Missing the Point, now in year eighteen of a spectacular open-ended run.

[multiplez]

It's a good thing he's pretty. "They might not care," Z explained patiently. "But as far as he knows, no one knows he's a Ranger. And he probably doesn't want that getting out."

"Hello, CabinMate!" Evie bounced over to the campfire, gleeful about camping already. "And hello, Conner. Are you here all summer? Are you still a TA?"

[multiplez]

"Hi, Evie!" Z said cheerfully. "Are you all settled in?"

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"Yes, all settled in! I took B-2, if that's okay?" Evie held her hands out to the fire, rubbing them together. "Did you have a Little Brother or Sister to meet? And have you run across Kelandry yet? I think she's the only truly new person in our cabin."

[multiplez]

"That's fine with me, I'm in A, anyway. A4. Unless somebody tells me to move all my stuff...no, I haven't met her yet. Is it a her? She's got the 'of such and such' thing going on, so I hope she's not from somewhere that'll be weird about the co-ed thing." Z realized she was talking too much and shut her mouth.

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"I think so?" Evie looked uncertain now. "Impossible to tell with some names. My Little Sibling turned out to be a boy with a Chinese name. And yes, the co-ed thing is rather a shock at first. At least I found it so."

Poor Evie has no idea who her new roommate is going to be. She may be even more sympathetic after that.

[multiplez]

"Who's your little sibling?" Z asked. "I don't have one." And after living on the streets with a boy for a couple of years, Z really hadn't cared as long as she had a bed, but she wasn't going to go telling Evie that.

"Kou Leifoh," Evie said, careful with her pronunciation, then snorted. "He's... very friendly. And he used to be twenty-five, and is now sixteen again."

[multiplez]

Z snorted. "Sucks for him, I guess. How's he handling it?"

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"I'd say he was making the best of the situation," Evie said dryly, then frowned. "Though it doesn't sound like it was much fun for him at all. Horrible scientific experiment, or something. He's in Chupacabra cabin, I'll introduce you eventually, I'm sure."

[multiplez]

"Well, that sucks, poor guy. Wait." Z laughed a little; she hadn't paid much attention to the other cabin names. "We have a goatsucker cabin? Seriously?"

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"Is that what it means? I was going to look it up on the internet, but I haven't tried to use my laptop yet." Evie started giggling, and couldn't stop. "Goat... sucking?"

[multiplez]

"That's what a chupacabra is. Monsters that suck goats," Z said with a shrug.

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"That's rather... ahem. Yes. Well." She giggled again. "I'm just as glad to be a Chimera, then, I think. At least we're part lion, that's rather impressive."

[multiplez]

"Go mighty Chimeras!" Z said gleefully. "I think it's going to be a good summer." Even if they were back in the woods. With the bugs.

"Huzzah, Chimera!" Evie punched the air, and hugged herself. "I do too. I got two workshops I wanted, and I'm going to adjust to the other one with some effort, I think. What are you taking?"

[multiplez]

"Flight, Firearms, Self Confidence, and Dealing With Stupid People. I was supposed to be in Explosives but I guess it filled up," Z said with a shrug. "What're you gonna do? What are your workshops?"

[bookyeve.livejournal.com]

"Oh, those sound exciting. I did love Flight Club," Evie said wisfully. "But Aeryn's eye always twitched when I got in the simulator... Um, I'm in History in Action, which sounds rather jolly. Re-enactments. And Treasure Hunting!" She bounced again at the thought. "And, well. 'How to Annoy Teachers.' I still cant' believe that's not a mistake."
