Cygnus Campfire, Late Thursday Night

[notyourpawn.livejournal.com]

An open fire. Alice had started it herself, and was feeding it sticks and branches as it grew into a moderate size. She felt a small thrill of vindication at that; she would not let something as simple as a campfire defeat her. It was controlled. It was safe. She was even considering roasting marshmallows over it.

She was calm, or relatively so, and would welcome company.

(OOC: very open, as campfires go.)

"I have a stash," Reno admitted. "Don't even pay attention to how much is in it. Just kinda fill it up when I run low."

It was entirely possible that he smoked more than he actually realized.

"This should be easy, yo. Piece of cake, or whatever."

See? Easy. He would quit, and that would be that. Maybe he should pull out a quick cigarette to celebrate this decision with.

Jamie was watching him carefully. "You really think so?"

[raspberryturk]

Reno was halfway to his lighter when he realized what he was doing.

...

"This is gonna suck," he informed Jamie.

"The smacking duplicate is still an option."

[raspberryturk]

"No," Reno replied, entirely deadpan. "No, it ain't."

The smacking duplicate was entirely batshit.

"I can get a gentler dupe..."

[raspberryturk]

"I ain't worried about gentle. You capable of makin' one that's sane?"

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Sure!" Jamie said. "That's not a... Okay, well define 'sane'."

[raspberryturk]

Reno laughed again.

"Figured as much, yo. I'll grab a pack of gum tomorrow or whatever. See how that goes. If I need to get smacked upside the head after that, I'll let you know, zoto."

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Zoto? What's that?"

[raspberryturk]

"Kinda like 'yo' on steroids," Reno offered. "Yoto, too. Ai'nt givin' 'em up, either. Those ones are mine."

"Better put a copyright on them," Jamie grinned.

[raspberryturk]

"And then I can collect royalties whenever someone uses 'em around a campfire?"

Reno smirked. It was actually pretty tempting.

[multi-madrox.livejournal.com]

"Well anywhere," Jamie said. "Not just campfires."

[raspberryturk]

"Gonna have to look into that," Reno decided.

He was only half-joking. Maybe if people had to pay royalties, he could make them pay in smokes.

Dammit!
