Ursa Major Campfire: Sunday Evening [5-10-08]

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

C1. That was easy enough to remember.

It had taken her two trips to move her things down to the cabins, largely because she couldn't narrow down what books she wanted to bring any further, and of course she was sure she'd soon discover things she'd forgotten. But for now she was enjoying her favorite part of living in the cabins.

The campfire.

She just wished she'd remembered to get some marshmallows.

[Open!]

"Hey," Dawn greeted, walking down to the campfire and loaded down with bags. Three--one for clothes, one for cabin living essentials, and one for books. "Are we it?"

"So far," Lana said, standing up with a smile. "Can I give you a hand?"

Bridge, luckily enough, has marshmallows with him as he flops down in a seat by the fire. Because a campfire without marshmallows is just crazy talk.

"People!"

"Bridge-people!" Lana said with a smile. "Oooh! Are those marshmallows? I will love you forever if they are. In a purely platonic way, of course."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"They are indeed," Bridge nods. "And for sharing, of course," he adds with a grin.

Isabel had gotten her stuff mostly arranged in her alcove before the lure of the campfire called her out.

She took a seat next to the fire and smiled. "It's amazing how much I've missed this."

"This one is the lightest," Dawn offered the clothes bag to Lana, "and thanks. It was kind of awkward getting down here. The big strong Sam-type was elsewhere."

"Bridge!" Once she'd set up her stuff (which so far involved dumping it on the bed, hi), she plopped down across the fire from him. "So, I need a partner in an involved plot to go to college and still live here in Fandom. You with me?"

Isabel alternated her glance between Bridge and the bag of marshmallows hopefully.

"Oh, I owe you," Lana said happily. "I was too lazy to walk down to the village again tonight."

"I'm not a big fan of the cabins, myself," Lana admitted, "but the campfires I love."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge looks thoughtful. "Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter."

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana took the bag and followed her into the cabin. "I miss having a big strong type around. And not just for times like this," she added with a smile.

"Oh come on. What's not to love about communal living?" Isabel asked cheerfully. "The noise, the lack of privacy, the forced togetherness? Isn't it great?"

A pause.

"But you're right. The campfires make are awesome."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Bridge responds by taking a marshmallow from the bag and throwing it in Isabel's direction. He knows if she's paying attention, it won't hit her, and if she's not paying attention, well... then she deserves to be hit with a marshmallow projectile.

"Exactly," Lana said with a grin. "Lovely fire, night stars, marshmallows, good company... They're wonderful."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

She was paying attention. No doubt about that.

Two minutes later, after finding the appropriate stick along the edge of the woods, the marshmallow was being roasted over the fire.

"Have I mentioned how awesome you are?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Laziness is an important part of summer!" Bridge replies, holding out the bag of marshmallows in her direction. "So go you with getting a good start on that."

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Well, not *today*..." Bridge grins.

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

"Does it count if I was mostly lazy because I did too much earlier?" Lana said with a grin as she took a marshmallow and went to search for an appropriate stick.

"I plan on making the most of it as long as we're out here," she replied. "Which means within the next week I'll be vibrating from all the sugar."

"I'm trying hard not to be bitter about him being in a different cabin during the last three months we have together, but it's kind of a work in progress," she said, making her way to her bed. "Did you happen to see any new big strong types at the picnic that looked interesting?"

[lovelylana.livejournal.com]

Lana laughed. "I'll keep that in mind! Oooh! I can pick up chocolate and graham crackers to go with the marshmallows for tomorrow night!"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

Isabel's eyes got wide. "I haven't? I need to fix that immediately."

Gesturing with her free hand, she began, "Bridge you are the most amazingly awesome guy in green that I know. The marshmallows are just the icing on the cake of awesomeness that is you."

Shawn wandered out of the super senior cabin, settling near the edge of the fire.

"Evening," he greeted as he sat.
