Grover Cleveland Campfire [Tuesday Morning]

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

Claire didn't have a class today until 6th period, so she was taking advantage of the downtime to sit at the campfire and enjoy some peace and quiet. Not that she had a fire going. It was just nice to sit outside.

She did have a glass of juice and some pop-tarts though and spectulated on the concept of toasting pop-tarts over an open fire.



[open to all, as campfires are. even ones that don't have actual fire :D]

Dean was out for a morning stroll of the campsite and slowed when he saw Claire sitting outside. He'd heard enough over the radio to figure it wasn't the same Claire he'd known before, but still felt he should stop and introduce himself.

"Hey," he said. "Need help getting a fire started?"

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

"If you want," Claire said. "I figured it was a nice enough morning without one."

"Mornings like this, fire's more for food than warmth," he said. "Less you want to go with cold breakfast or chance the dining hall."

Claire shrugged and held out her box of pop-tarts, offering him one. "I'm not sure if it would be possible to toast these over a fire."

"An interesting problem," Dean said, sitting down and moving to start the fire. He grinned up at her. "I like a challenge."

Claire grinned back at him. "I'm Claire Butler," she said. "Somehow I get the feeling you aren't new."

Dean bit back on the "I know" that wanted to slip out. "Dean Winchester," he said. "And no, I've been here three years. This is my last summer, actually."

"Winchester? You must be Sam's brother," she said. "Which means, I'm guessing you, uh, knew the other me?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Yeah I did," Dean said, relaxing a little. "Didn't want to say anything about it and weird you out if you didn't know."

Details NFB Please

"I appreciate that," Claire said. "I ran into Peter at the picnic and he filled me in. Um, I'm using a different name at the moment. Long story."

"Aren't they all?" Dean said. "And no big deal; I've got three fake IDs in my wallet right now. Sometimes you gotta stay under the radar."

Claire smiled. "Thanks. Why do you have three fake IDs?"

"Here? It's mostly just habit," Dean admitted. "On the road, there's never any telling when I'm going to need to be someone I'm not. It's part of the job -- did Sammy mention anything about hunting?"

Leda had never been outside of Bordertown before, and was finding it hard to sleep without the familiar noises and smells of a bustling slightly post-apocalyptic city. The school was okay, but the woods were slightly creeping her out.

So she was not exactly sleeping in.

"Mornin' sunshine." she nodded to Clair as she walked along. "Mind some company?"

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

"Not at all," Claire said. "I've got pop-tarts if you're hungry."

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"I don't know what those are, but they sound tasty."

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

"They're totally bad for you, but delicious," Claire assured her. "Have a seat. You settling in okay?"

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

Leda did so. "Just fine Caroline. And yourself? This place messin' with your brain?"

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

Claire nearly corrected the other girl on her name, but realized it was just her way of speaking. "A little. But I think it'll be a good place to spend some time. You?"

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"Not, hugely. It's a little weird meeting people who've never heard of Bordertown. At least I'm used to misconceptions about Elves. And the ones I've run into here are a lot nicer than back home."

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

Elves. That explained the ears. Not that Claire would have put that together on Saturday.

"I don't really know anything about elves," she admitted.

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"Have you at least heard of them?" Leda asked curiously.

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

"In fairy tales, yes," Claire said. "Not in real life."

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"Close enough. Most people in my world probably think that's all we are. Even though Bordertown's common knowledge as far as I've heard."

[wantstocheer.livejournal.com]

"What is Bordertown?"
