Kraken campfire, Monday morning

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Coo roo coo coo coo coo coo coooo!"

It's Victoria Day.

"Coo roo coo coo coo coo coo coooooooo!"

Thus, Jude has a Canadian flag tied around his shoulders as a cape while he sits in front of the campfire, checking his skateboard over before a hard day of daredevil stunts and highspeed pranking.

In honour of the Queen, of course.

"Take offffff to the Great White North, take offfffff! It's a beauty way to go . . ."

[[I have the day off and thus celebrate.]]

Sabriel stepped out of the cabin and stared at Jude. "...Good morning?"

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Morning, bra!" Jude greeted her cheerfully.

[abhorsentobe.livejournal.com]

"Are you wearing a flag?" Sabriel asked. She thought it was a reasonable question to ask. It looked like a flag, but for all she knew it could be the secret sign of the cult of little wheeled planks.

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

Jude held up the maple leaf. "Yep."

[abhorsentobe.livejournal.com]

"Is there a particular reason? Or did you simply feel like it today?" Sabriel's eyebrows had gone up. "Which country is it for?" Not that she was likely to know it anyway.

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"It's the Canadian flag. And today is Victoria Day. Which is a Canadian holiday." Jude felt like this was a good explanation.

[abhorsentobe.livejournal.com]

"You are from..." Sabriel hesitated. "Canad?"

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"-a," Jude said, not really bothered. "Canada. Yeah."

Katara was completely glittery. And she hadn't seen Jude in far too long. So she bounced up to him with a grin.

"Hi Jude! What are you singing?"

[abhorsentobe.livejournal.com]

Sabriel nodded. "Canada. Of course. Which is... snowy?"

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Hey," Jude grinned. "You're sparkly. I'm singin' the Great White North theme song."

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

"I woke up and our whole cabin was glittery! And me and Buffy and Zack and everyone else," she said gleefully. "Great White North's Canada, right?"

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Very," Jude confirmed.

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, that's one of the names for it," he chuckled. "But it was also this show on the CBC . . . anyway, glitter's awesome but it gets everywhere and Luke said something about boykissy."

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

"I don't think it just causes boykissy," she said thoughtfully. "I mean, the entire cabin was covered in glitter and Zack and Qui-Gon didn't kiss. ...which is good, I think."

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Probably," Jude considered. "And I didn't kiss Luke."

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

"I don't think Rikku would like that," Katara agreed.

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Yeah." Jude looked unmellow for a moment. "But does it count if it's glitter-induced?"

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

She thought about that for a moment. "I don't know. I don't think it would count if you were gremlin-bit or something. So maybe not."

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Huh." Jude's eyes widened and he hurried on. "Not that I want to or anything because I totally don't even if there was glitter!"

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

Katara giggled and went to pat him on the shoulder. "I promise that I do not think that you want to kiss Luke."

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

Jude groaned and facepalmed. "I know, but that totally came out wrong."

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

"It's the glitter's effect," she said knowingly. "Don't worry." She noticed the flag and tilted her head to try to see the whole thing. "Is...that, um, a class project to wear?"

[dude-its-jude.livejournal.com]

"Nope. Already finished my class project. This," he lifted a corner of his cape, "is 'cause it's Victoria Day."

[southernbender.livejournal.com]

She grinned. "You know my next question is 'what's Victoria Day', right?"
