Kraken campfire, Tuesday evening

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

Judas was sitting at the Kraken campfire.

Okay, it was just Jude, but he felt so un-Jude when he was all goth-y that he started thinking of himself as Judas. Long story. Involving vomitting in a girl's mouth. And a vibrating chair.

He was actually on his way to change and wash his face off, but was getting there in his slow, mellow, Jude-like way. Which meant chilling by the campfire and fixing his skateboard.

[[Open. Oh yes.]]

Rikku was heading for the campfire and bouncing slightly to herself. Explosive workshop! Mutiny soon! Today was great.

"Hey, are you new here?" she asked the weird-looking guy at the campfire. "It's okay! I mean, hi, I haven't seen you around or anything. My name's Rikku."

Oh, neat! He had a skateboard. He could hang out with ...

With ...

Blink. Blink. Blink.

".... JUDE!?!"

Jude smiled mellowly up at her. "Hey, bra. Like it?"

Billy liked the campground. It reminded him of some of the happier times in his past. He walked past the Kraken campfire, then after a moment, walked backwards back past it again.

"Jude?"

Rikku stared. For a few moments. And attempted to wrap her mind around, uh. Her ... boyfriend.

And then stood up carefully and set her hand on Jude's shoulder. "Listen. Uh. Whatever's wrong? We can talk about it. Things aren't this bad. H-honest. You, uh, it'll be okay, you know?"

"Hey, bro."

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

Jude chuckled mellowly. "It was for the workshop. We had to go Goth. This totally isn't me, I know."

"That's an interesting look for you." Billy tried not to be weirded out by the eyeliner which reminded him of someone else.

"Hey man," Peter said, sitting down by the fire. "How's the evening?"

[the_merriest]

Rikku blinked a few times, and then laughed. And gave him a kiss, which totally meant she got some of the Goth makeup on herself. That was okay.

"You had me kinda worried there," she smiled. "I thought maybe you had a really bad day and, uh, decided to sign up for the whole Darkness thing or whatever. I couldn't imagine what harshed your mellow that bad."

Aravis was out for a walk, enjoying the night air. She lifted a hand in greeting to the assembled group. "Good evening."

[the_merriest]

Rikku noticed the new person - well, new to her, anyway - and waved excitedly. "Hiya! Hey! Are you one of the Peters?!"

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"It's a workshop thing." Jude threw up the goth-metal horns.

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Pretty sweet," Jude replied mellowly. "Long time no chat, bro."

"Good evening, Tarkheena," Peter said, standing up to bow when he saw her.

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Yo." Jude threw off a little wave.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter grinned and gave her a bow. "Peter Pevensie at your service."

[the_merriest]

"Hiya!" Rikku waved. And then noticed Peter's greeting, and hopped up. "Uh, I mean, hiya, Tarkina?" And bobbed at her best attempt for a bow.

"Nah, bra. Couldn't even do the whole darkness thing to keep my girlfriend. Starr, I mean." He pulled her down next to him and removed one of the fake studs from his ears. "See. Totally fake."

"Majesty," Aravis answered with a smile, dipping into a curtsy.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Has been indeed," Peter said. "Good to see you, Jude."

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

Aravis blinked. "Yo?" she repeated, confused.

[notqueenyet.livejournal.com]

Aravis laughed. "An admirable effort, but not neccessary. Hello."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"The Goth Eye thing?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Hey Peter. Have you met the new Jude?"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Hi." Billy nodded. "Are you new or am I less observant than I thought?"
