Curupira campfire - Monday evening

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Since she had no workshops today, Molly had slept in and then spent the majority of the day puttering around the cabin. The glittery was getting to her though. So, she went to sit outside for a while with her back to the cabin. She ignored the fact that she was almost as glittery as the cabin by now.

Rory smiled. "I've had my share of adventures here," which was putting it mildly, "but if there's one thing I've learned it's that Fandom people protect their own. No one's going to let you get hurt. Scout's honor."

Naminé smiled, a touch wistfully. "I know. I was told that as well. That concerns me a bit. No one should be getting hurt for me."

"Were your adventures nice ones, then? I've seen this place attracts oddities."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Most of them were," Rory said honestly. "I got to fly out to space to see the Horsehead Nebula today."

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

"That sounds lovely," Naminé said. "Was it? I imagine that would be something to see."

She shook her head. "I haven't seen much. There are many places I'd like to go. Things I want to see, somehow. I hope I can."

"It was gorgeous," Rory said, nodding. "My friend has a ship. You should ask one of the people from space to take you up!"

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

"Perhaps I shall." Naminé smiled. "I doubt I could capture any of it in my sketchbook, but it would be fascinating to try. Who is your friend, then?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Anakin Skywalker, the flight instructor," she said. "But there are a handful of others with ships as well."

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

"I don't believe I've met him," Naminé said thoughtfully. "I'm afraid I didn't take his class, either. Is it a Gummi ship? Or are methods of travel different here as well?"

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Gummi? Like...candy?" Rory shook her head. "It's a shuttle. We have lots of different modes of transportation. I have a car, over by the causeway, too."

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

"Candy?" Naminé shook her head. "I'm not certain how it works, just that that's how S- some of my friends travelled between worlds." She blushed faintly. "I suppose not friends exactly."

"I know of cars. I don't have one. I suppose I don't need one, really. I can just portal."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Portal? Like teleport?" she wondered. "Cool!"

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

"Similar," Naminé said with a smile. She held her hand out and a flat black oval appeared in front of it, purple and blue ripples swirling inward. Black smoke curled up from it. "Not quite teleportation. Just connecting spaces to one another through darkness. It means other people can use it."

She gestured to the portal with a hand. "It just goes to my cabin, if you'd like to try it."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"Oooh. I've only traveled by portal a couple times," Rory said, peering at the oval. "I wish I could do something like that."

She reached a hand towards it. "And it'll just pop us out there?"

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

Naminé nodded. "It's like any other doorway. Step through and get to the other side. You can go, or we can both use it. It will stay open until I close it."

She smiled, amused. "I think I hurt someone's head earlier, with one of these. He was telling me that magic wasn't real. I thought it couldn't hurt to show him."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"We get a lot of people like that," Rory said, smiling. "That won't last long."

She carefully stepped through the portal.

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

"I hope I didn't scare him too badly, then," Naminé mused.

She waited to see that Rory had stepped through to her cabin, then held her hand out and closed it into a fist. The portal correspondingly blinked out into nothing again.

Naminé sat down by the campfire to wait, hoping she had remembered to tell Rory which cabin was hers.

Rory wandered up a few minutes later.

"So, you're in Abominable Snowman," she greeted. "That is so cool. I can't do anything like that."

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I did forget. I hope you found your way back all right. I'm so sorry." She laugh lightly as Rory came back. "It's not really ... something I can do, exactly. I think it's a function of who I am. Which is a shame, as I would gladly teach you otherwise. It works over an amazing span of distance. That's how I got here, at any rate."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"It's still a really useful ability," Rory said. "You're going to fit in really well here. I think it has to be easier if you're used to stuff like that."

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

Naminé smiled. "If you ever need a shortcut to somewhere, let me know, I'd be glad to help. And I ... I hope so. It's getting easier, at least. Michelangelo convinced me to stay, when I wasn't sure of it last week."

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

"You should stay," Rory said with a little smile. "And if you need anything? I'm Pixie."

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

Naminé took a moment, then smiled again, more seriously this time. "Thank you for that. I believe I will stay. Is Pixie the enormous dorm at the very end?"
