Centaurus Campfire, Sunday Evening

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

Deciding to give the place a chance, squirrel spying and all, Temari started up a fire and sighed. This was much more like home.

Maybe an angry letter home wasn't necessary.

Yet.

[[Open as a campfire should be. Or else there's just smoke everywhere and it's a bad thing all around.]]

Humming to herself, Giselle trailed through the cabins, barely watching where she was going. She had a new dress on instead of the big white dress she arrived in. Hopefully those curtains in the Common Room weren't going to be missed.

She saw the blonde girl sitting by the fire and waved happily. "Oh, hello! Are you enjoying the evening?"

Temari nodded her head toward the girl, giving her a small grunt for greeting She wondered vaguely if she'd seen that dress somewhere before.

Giselle took that for an invitation and took a seat on a log, spreading her skirts out carefully. "Isn't this nice?" she asked. "I do love the adorable little cottages."

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

"Cabins," Temari corrected, eying her for all the cheerfulness. "They called them cabins."

[stucklikadope.livejournal.com]

"Oh, do they?" she asked, tilting her head, her fingers steepling under her cheek. "I will have to remember that. They just look so much like cottages. I almost expected Grumpy and his brothers to be living in one!" She smiled happily at Temari. "I'm Giselle, by the way."

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

"Temari." There might have even been a slightly confused attempt at a smile in response. "Who's Grumpy?"

[stucklikadope.livejournal.com]

"Grumpy's the oldest brother of a family of dwarves," she said earnestly. "I heard they were very hospitable. Much like the people at this castle!"

Deidara was checking out the cabins, since they were going to be living in them and all now. They were...well, yeah, much more like home.

Walking over to the campfire, he stopped short when he saw the other blond there. And smirked.

"This could be an interesting trip...mm."

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

Temari stood quickly, reaching for... the fan that wasn't there.

"Akatsuki," She growled.

[mouthy-ninja.livejournal.com]

"That is what we are," Deidara replied. "What are you doing here? Isn't he lonely without you?"

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

"How's that partner of yours?" Temari asked, hand still behind her back and wishing she hadn't allowed them to disarm her. "Failure like you, huh?"

[mouthy-ninja.livejournal.com]

"We still accomplished our mission," the other ninja pointed out. "Master Sasori was a brilliant artist...but his views on art were skewed. Mm." Deidara sat down across the circle from Temari.

"Accomplished so you ran away like a bitch," Temari sneered. "Couldn't take a brat like Naruto, huh?"

After getting everything set up in her own cabin, Turtle decided, for the same of comradery and the spirit of friendship, to go spend some time at another cabin. She decided to start with Centaurus. Just because she could.

"Hello! How's it going?"

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

Good god, Temari prayed this one was less... less... Giselle.

Temari grunted, waving faintly at her. "Hey."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Newbie," Turtle greeted her back more specifically with a smile. Ahhh, she could smell them from a mile away. And then she proffered her hand. "I'm Turtle Wexler. I'm over in Andromeda, but I'm visiting other cabins a bit. I figure I gotta spend enough time with everyone in there normally, you know?"

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

"Temari, Centaurus," She replied, a small smirk as she shook Turtle's hand firmly.

"Is the new so obvious?"

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Only because I don't know you," Turtle said. "And I try to know everyone. So it comes down to you being either a)new or b)insanely reclusive, but, since you're out here by a fire, I felt I could discount option b."

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

"Smart." Temari approved already. "Just arrived Friday."

Adam had handwavily gotten everything set up in the cabin earlier and decided to wander out to the campfire.

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

Another person. Interesting.

Temari nodded to him in a silent greeting.

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

Adam smiled and waved slightly and the unfamiliar face. Realizing she must be one of the newbies, he decided to introduce himself. "Hey, I'm Adam. I'm guess you're one of the new students?"

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

"Temari." A beat. "I'll get a sign letting people know I'm new tomorrow."

[im-afrog.livejournal.com]

"It's nice to meet you, Temari," Adam smiled. "Yeah, that would definitely stop the question from being repeated," he chuckled.

[not-fangirl.livejournal.com]

"Maybe that nametag was a better idea than I thought."
