Scorpius Campfire, Sunday Evening

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

As it turned out, Jen didn't handle hangovers very well, which had something to do with the way she'd managed to completely miss out on any and all pony-related activities yesterday.

She could have been a pony for all she knew, but she'd been asleep through all of it thanks to the wonders of Aleve; apparently 21st-century painkillers had quite the effect on a 31st-century physiology unused to them. So yay for that, she supposed.

She'd managed to get a fire going -- a small and kind of ragged one, definitely not the kind of fire-building that would win a merit badge, but it was erratically crackling away as Jen went through some martial arts forms nearby. Sure, there was a gym on the campgrounds, but being around all these trees made her kind of nostalgic for the days when the best she'd had was that rope-wrapped tree in that Silver Hills park.

Besides, this was where she'd laid out the s'more makings. Duh.

Talking about the pony-ness, Chad decided, was better than talking about how he'd been. There were a lot of good things, of course, but then there was the one bad thing that he really didn't like talking about.

"Yeah; I had a sparkly arm." Yes. Arm. "Were you one, too?"

"I was. I had wings. But more importantly, I could talk."

He breathed out.

"I had wondered why people always turned into animals instead of Animals, so this was a nice change."

"I turned into tea one," Chad said.

Because Chad was awesome at conversations, really.

"Teddy told me," he said with a nod.

"...were you cognizant?"

"I think so," Chad said after trying to recall. "I remember being mostly just warm and modestly caffeinated. It was...definitely a different experience."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Modestly caffeinated?"

He wasn't questioning the status. Just how that might feel.

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, you know," Chad explained, "because tea doesn't have as much caffeine as coffee, so you don't get nearly as jittery if you drink too much of it."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"But how do you feel modestly caffinated? ...how does that sensation work?"

[senor-chado.livejournal.com]

"I...don't know," Chad admitted, shrugging a bit. "I just...was."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Okay."

And that seemed about that.
