Theodore Roosevelt Campfire: Monday morningish

[thatsamilkshake]

There was a huge pile of stuff on the bed in alcove A1, because with a day free of classes, Francine had figured she might as well schlep her things over at a leisurely pace.

You know what wasn't in the huge pile of stuff on the bed in alcove A1? The marshmallows. Or the Hershey bars. Or the graham crackers.

Or Francine, because she was out by the campfire trying to get it started. Putting away her huge pile of stuff could wait. There were s'mores to be gobbled made.

"Oh, Lord, and the new kids thought they were confused before," Claudia laughed.

[intraspective]

"Now I kinda want to do that," she laughed. "Though sometimes you'd have to get really specific--moreso for the more people there are around."

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

Claudia nodded. "Like Girl With Marshmallows at the Campfire," she said, pointing at Francine, "Guy With Emo Hair at the Campfire"--that was Liir-- "Boy with Mohawk Who is an Excellent Kisser at the Campfire," Priestly, and thanks for oversharing, Claudia, "Girl Who is in My Art Class and Also at My Campfire," she said, grinning at Ino, "and Girl With a Beret Who is Sad Not to Have a Marshmallow," she finished, pointing at herself.

[intraspective]

Ino lobbed a marshmallow at Claudia. "Now you can't be sad," she pointed out, "so now you need a new name. How 'bout Girl Who Just Got a Marshmallow?"

A beat.

"And he's an excellent kisser, huh?"

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"That's a good name," Claudia declared, popping the marshmallow into her mouth. "And totally. Omigod."

[intraspective]

"But now you're Girl Who Just Ate a Marshmallow," she said, giggling. "And I take it you've got totally experience in declaring how good he is at it?"

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"And now I'm Girl Who Needs Another Marshmallow," Claudia said, reaching for another. "And he's my boyfriend so definitely." She grinned over at him. "How cute is he? Seriously. Gah."

[intraspective]

"Good to know," she said comfortably. "Though I've got a boyfriend already, so it was more for information purposes than anything else. He's cute enough, I suppose."

If you liked Mohawks.

"Who's your boyfriend, Girl with a Boyfriend?" Claudia asked, grinning.

[intraspective]

"That name works for you too! Ichigo," she said, making a face at her marshmallow. "Who, continuing the trend of my boyfriends, is rather anti-social. What's up with that? I'm three for three with that, and I love talking to people, seriously. He's off on vacation though, visiting his family."

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"That's probably why I don't recognize his name," Claudia said. "I totally try to keep track of who's who."

Because she was a little nosy that way.

"Maybe it's an opposites attracting thing?" she offered.

[intraspective]

"He's tallish with bright orange hair," she said helpfully. "And, maybe? I don't know. I do wish he'd get out more, 'cause the isolating thing? Is kinda depressing when it's the third time in a row."

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"Omigod, totally," Claudia said sympathetically. "Priestly and I are both really outgoing, which is nice. It means I don't have to whine to get him to go to dances and stuff."

[intraspective]

"He doesn't whine much when I show up all dressed up and flash some leg," Ino said thoughtfully. "But I would like him to ask me to go, you know, once or twice instead of me having to do everything."

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"Ugh," Claudia said, wrinkling up her nose. "What a boy. Is he a good enough kisser to put up with the aggravation?"

[intraspective]

"He's getting better," she said fairly. "Since he'd never kissed anyone before me, I didn't expect all that much to start with, and honest, we started dating 'cause we kept arguing and running into each other."

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"'Wow, he's irritating, I should spend more time with him?'" Claudia said. "Huh."

[intraspective]

"I like people who argue," she said, with a shrug. "Suppose it's a thing."

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"Could be why you end up with the anti-social guys, yeah," Claudia said.

[intraspective]

"What? Liking people who argue?" Ino asked. "I like to argue and have no trouble being social."

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"Maybe you're just better at it than they are," Claudia said.

[intraspective]

"Me and my ego can totally live with that," Ino decided. "What possessed you to get dressed like that?"

It was said friendly enough, but a bit dubiously.

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"I don't like looking like everyone else," Claudia said.

Mission accomplished, Claud.

[intraspective]

Her grin widened, though she didn't laugh. "You do look good," she said, "and definitely not like anyone else."

Thank goodness.

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

Claudia grinned back. "Good," she said. "I painted the shirt myself."

The little gremlins running up the sleeves probably gave that away, yeah.
