Chupacabra campfire: Wednesday morning before classes

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Karal's day had started with a naked girl naked people. Or his yesterday had ended with naked people. Granted, they hadn't been truly naked, but either way it had still been a bit of a shock.

So when he went into the common area to make tea and discovered the light switches and water heating device weren't working, he barely batted an eye. Gathering the largest metal pot he could find, he filled it with water and took it, the tea, and a mug outside, Altra trotting behind him.

He'd had enough experience, mornings in the Cloister when he'd woken deliberately early, that he knew how to do this. Build a fire, leave a semi-circle for the pot, and soon the water was bubbling away.

With a mug of tea, a rock to lean against, and a 'cat lying across his legs, purring loudly, it wasn't a bad morning.

[ooc: open to all! He will happily share tea!]

Buffy wandered over from Chtulhu cabin. "Hi Karal! Do you guys have hot water?" Her hair was starting to dry now, but she still looked a bit soggy.

Karal caught himself bracing for an onslaught of glitter. When it didn't eventuate, he relaxed and nodded, giving her a welcoming smile. "We do," he said, pointing to the pot. "You're more than welcome to as much as you'd like. Would you like some tea? I'm sure there will be spare mugs in the cabin. I might be able to find a towel, as well?"

"I meant for, like, a shower," Buffy explained. She might be inwardly cursing herself for leaving the cabin sans glitter. "But I'll have some tea if you're offering, yes, thanks."

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"Oh. No," he blushed and nudged Altra off his legs, "no, I'm not sure how to arrange hot water for the shower."

Altra yawned and wandered over to Buffy, looking up at her pointedly in a 'you should scratch me' manner.

"I'll just get you a mug," he told her as he disappeared back into the cabin.

Savannah waved at Buffy.

Hey, she saw the yearbook and stuff. She knew who the head cheerleader was.

"Morning."

[1ordinarygirl.livejournal.com]

"Hiyah!" Buffy waved back. "Are you one of the new people?"

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah nodded with a grin. "Yeah. I got in Friday. I'm Savannah."

"Karal," Gavin said, still yawning and stretching. "You get up too early."

He was teasing lightly and, really, he was up just as early but it was fun to tease.

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"Gavin," Karal smiled up at him, happy to tease him back, "you're here with me, I notice. Doesn't that mean you also get up too early?"

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"Pretend I'm not here," he said with a quirk of his eyebrow. "I'm talking to you in my sleep."

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"Pretend you're not here and you're talking in your sleep?" Karal grinned and feigned puzzlement. "I guess you must be very loud, if I can hear you from outside the cabin."

Savannah waved at the other guy she saw at the campfire and then smiled.

[sixstandingby.livejournal.com]

"Hey," Gavin said and waved back. "How's it going?"

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"Going pretty well. How about you?"

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah was out and about early, so she wandered over to the first campsite that she saw had people.

"Morning."

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

Altra lifted his head to watch the new arrival, and Karal gave her a quick smile as he said, "Good morning."

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

Savannah smiled in return. "I saw that there was someone else up as early as I was, so I had to come and say hello." She offered her hand. "I'm Savannah. I'm over in Salamander."

Cally was out wandering.

"Anyone else notice the power is out?"

[walks-two-paths.livejournal.com]

"Hi Cally!"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Hey little sis," Cally said. "Surviving okay?"

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"I believe it is the whole camp," Karal said in reply. "But there's hot water for tea, if you'd like it."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Oh, awesome, thanks," Cally said. "I don't think we've met yet."

Setsuna went to go out on her morning training, and found herself here again.

//"God dammit!"// she sputtered cursing the inside canon joke, sitting down on a log anyway because it was like she had to...

[vkandis-son.livejournal.com]

"You came for tea," Karal said, a bit taken aback by the sounds of her words, even though he didn't understand the sense of them.

[bound2blade.livejournal.com]

"Hm?" Setsuna looked up. "Oh. Karal..." She paused, thinking back a little and realizing that, yes, there was tea available and she had said she'd stop by for some yesterday. Maybe that's why she stopped here on her way to training before her workshop? She didn't generally like the feel of that; it suggested that her awareness of self was dulling,and that was never a good thing.

"Um, yes, of course," she nodded. "If there is some available, tea would be...lovely."
