Main Campfire - Sunday Afternoon

[witchy-prue.livejournal.com]

The weather wasn't perfect but it was still nice enough for Prue to be outside. She had her camera out and she was currently laying on the ground, trying to get an interesting angle of a big oak tree a few feet from the campfire.

[Open, of course.]

Cally wandered over to the campfire, drinking from a bottle of water.

"Hey," she said. "Don't think we've met yet."

[witchy-prue.livejournal.com]

Prue lifted herself off the ground in order to talk to Cally. "I've been kind of anti-social lately. I'm Prue Halliwell."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally really shouldn't have been drinking at that point. She sprayed water. "Holy crap, you are."

[witchy-prue.livejournal.com]

Prue took a step back to avoid being hit by water. "I take it you've heard of me?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"I've met you. But you were older," Cally said. "This is so weird."

[witchy-prue.livejournal.com]

Prue smiled and shook her head. "I'm not sure if I'm ever going to get used to this weird timeline thing."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Sorry," Cally said. "I'm good friends with your sisters."

[witchy-prue.livejournal.com]

"Ah. That explains how you met me before." said Prue, nodding. "I hope that version of me didn't scare you or anything."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Oh, no," Cally said. "I'm totally Halliwell friendly." She added an emphatic nod.

[witchy-prue.livejournal.com]

Prue grinned. "Good. I can get, um, a little over-protective over Phoebe and Piper sometimes. I wouldn't have been surprised if the other version of me tried to scare high schoolers into being nice."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but I had the benefit of not dating them," Cally said. "Okay, I miiiight have tried to, at one point, but that's totally in the past."

[witchy-prue.livejournal.com]

"Well, you might consider yourself lucky that it didn't work out." said Prue. "I might have knocked one of Phoebe's boyfriends onto the ground when I first met him."

She put a hand to her face, a little embarrassed. She still couldn't believe she did that.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Seriously?" Cally said, smiling. "Which?"

[witchy-prue.livejournal.com]

"Anders. Right in the middle of Phoebe's class too." she said.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"That's awesome," Cally said. "I almost feel like I should object, but I still think that's awesome."

[witchy-prue.livejournal.com]

"You're not a fan of Anders?" she asked. Maybe she was right about something after all.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Heh. I used to date him," Cally said.

[witchy-prue.livejournal.com]

"In that case I'm sorry you didn't get to see it. It was pretty funny until Phoebe caught me." she said. "Is he always that slow on the uptake or did I just catch him on a bad day?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"No, he's that slow, usually," Cally said. "You might have even been catching him on a good day."

[witchy-prue.livejournal.com]

Prue laughed. "That honestly does not surprise me."

"I do feel kind of bad for him after last week." admitted Prue. "With the whole, you know, psycho killer thing in the woods and one of my nephews throwing him off a porch."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Wait, one of the nephews threw him off a porch?" Cally said.

[witchy-prue.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, Chris did." said Prue and wow, did she still feel guilty about encouraging him to do it. "He was just about as mad as I was about Phoebe getting hurt by that crazy guy."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Wait, you... blamed it on Anders?" Cally said.

[witchy-prue.livejournal.com]

"Well, no, not really. I mean, they couldn't have possibly known about some crazy guy in the woods." said Prue. If you had asked her about this last week her answer would have been the opposite. "It's just...well, what were he and Bel thinking when they took her out there that late at night?"

"Chris really shouldn't have done that though." she said, shaking her head. "Phoebe was out to kill him."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"I don't think you want to know what they were thinking taking her out there that late. I don't want to think about it, and I'm not related to any of them," Cally said.

[witchy-prue.livejournal.com]

"Ugh! I don't even want to think about that." she said, scrunching up her nose. "Just...ew!"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Exactly," Cally said. "Bad, bad, ew thoughts."

Heading back from the beach although that thread's still unfinished, Roxas sees the girl with the camera by the fireplace.

Roxas likes cameras. He's also curious as to why she's lying on the ground. So he says so.

"Why're you lying on the ground, if you don't mind me asking?"

[witchy-prue.livejournal.com]

"Trying to get a better angle of the tree." mumbled Prue from her spot. She took the picture and picked herself up off the ground. "I didn't want to just take a normal picture of a tree."

[orewahikari.livejournal.com]

He looks at the tree, and then back at her.

"That makes sense."

He points at her camera.

"It's nice. Good picture?"

[witchy-prue.livejournal.com]

"I think it'll turn out okay. It's a little cloudy out so that might screw it up a bit." she said. "Are you interested in photography?"

[orewahikari.livejournal.com]

He half shrugs.

"I take a lot of pictures at home. Don't know if you'd count that as 'interested," he says, and then kind of grins; it's a little lopsided, like he's not sure if it'll look terrifying if he smiles properly.

It mostly comes off as goofy.

[witchy-prue.livejournal.com]

Prue puts a hand over her mouth to cover up the smile that sprung up. She couldn't help it, he did look kind of goofy.

"Well I guess that sort of counts as interested." she said after she regained her composure. "I would love to do this for a living."

Well, she had done that for a living when she was alive. But she wouldn't mind doing it again so it was really a lie. Or that's what she was telling herself.

[orewahikari.livejournal.com]

"Maybe once you're done with school," he offers, and sits on a log, inviting her to sit down too. "I'm Roxas, by the way. I just started at the start of the summer. I still have to get used to meeting new people."

[witchy-prue.livejournal.com]

Prue sat down next to him. "I just started this summer too. I'm Prue Halliwell."

[orewahikari.livejournal.com]

"Pleased to meet you," he says, and grins. Not so goofy this time, thank God. "Did your parents make you come here, too?"

[witchy-prue.livejournal.com]

"Uh, yeah, well my Grandmother did." said Prue. She really hoped it didn't look like she was lying. "She thought a smaller school would be a safer place for me to learn about my powers. And the demons here seem to be harmless, which is a plus."

[orewahikari.livejournal.com]

He doesn't make mention of what sounds like a bit of a lie. If she doesn't want to tell him, she doesn't have to.

"What kind of powers do you have?" he asks, curiously.

[witchy-prue.livejournal.com]

"I can move things with my mind." she said. She waved her hand out towards a stick on the ground and caused it to float a few feet up in the air. "I can also astral project. It pretty much means I can send my soul to places miles away. That really comes in handy sometimes."

[orewahikari.livejournal.com]

He blinks and stares at the stick for a minute.

"That's cool."

He means both. But he's kind of staring at the floating stick.

[witchy-prue.livejournal.com]

Prue lowered the stick to the ground and grinned. "Yeah, I wasn't really into the whole witch thing when it first happened but it sort of grows on you."

[orewahikari.livejournal.com]

"It has to come in handy at some point," he says, and grins back at her. "And the soul thing. You can skip school without ever leaving."

[witchy-prue.livejournal.com]

"And it'll just look like I'm sleeping!" she said. Prue hadn't thought about that advantage of astral projection. "I'm totally going to do it."

[orewahikari.livejournal.com]

"Right in the middle of class... or not." Since she might get into as much trouble for really sleeping in class as she would for doing astral projection in class.
