FDR Campfire, Wednesday evening

[17andinfected.livejournal.com]

Shilo had decided to celebrate a successful first day at work with a fire. So she'd found some kindling, an old newspaper, and matches, and was building a fire the same way that her father had taught her how to in the fireplace.

She didn't know if it worked the same way for a campfire, but she could only hope. Besides, it wasn't as if she was planning on this being someone's funeral pyre. Just a small campfire, and hopefully some company.

She suddenly wondered if she should have stopped for s'mores supplies.

"Halt!" Yakko called out, rushing over while wearing a scout uniform. "Have you been properly instructed in fire safety?"

Oh good God. Another talking animal.

And animal was the best classification Shilo could give this... person.

"Y-yes? By my father?" she replied.

"So you know that all fires should be put out by smothering them in marshmallows?" Yakko asked. He took his hat off and pulled a very large bag of marshmallows that clearly shouldn't have been able to fit out of it.

"And remember, always carry a spare set of clothes just in case you stop, drop, and roll into a giant pile of marshmallows."

Well, Shilo wasn't going to complain about the chance for more marshmallows! Or question the physics that allowed him to hide that bag in his hat... "I do now," she replied. "I'm Shilo. What's your name?"

[yakkoyaks.livejournal.com]

"I'm a Warner Brother!" Yakko said proudly. "But you can just call me Yakko."

Ooh! "Hi! I'm Robin, what's your name?"

"Hi there! Mind if I borrow your fire? I have marshmallows and chocolate," said Harper, spotting Shilo with a working fire. It might have been dangerous for Harper to try starting a campfire at her own cabin.

[17andinfected.livejournal.com]

"Sure!" Shilo replied, eager for more toasted marshmallow goodness. "You're in my drama class, right? Your name's escaping me right now."

[chic-harper.livejournal.com]

"Right! My name's Harper," she said, taking a seat and pulling a bag of marshmallows out of her shopping bag. "I'm not sure I got your name either, since we didn't actually do real introductions."

[17andinfected.livejournal.com]

"True. I'm Shilo," she replied. "From the looks of things we're either going to have plenty of marshmallows or can expect a ton of people to join us."

"I guess so. But this is fun. I've never gotten to sit around a campfire before. We don't do a lot of camping in New York City," said Harper.

Yakko took the line about stealing fire as a cue to sing a song about the myth of Prometheus stealing fire from the Greek gods. No, I am not writing the song.

After a minute of edutational singing, he asked Harper, "How doooooooo you do?"

[chic-harper.livejournal.com]

"I'm fine, thanks," said Harper, looking curiously at Yakko. "You're either a new student or... someone's pet, I think."

[yakkoyaks.livejournal.com]

Yakko was suddenly sitting behind a podium, doing his best Regis Philbin impression.

"You only have two to choose from now. B) New Student or D) Someone's Pet. Do you think you can guess which is the correct answer from here, or would you like to use another Lifeline? You still have Poll the Audience, and Phone a Friend."

Momoko was wandering around and just enjoying the evening when she saw the campfire and, "Ah! Future new roommie! Hi hi!" She skipped over to the fire and grinned at Shilo. "Nice evening! Can I sit too? How are you getting along? Have you had any workshops yet?"

[17andinfected.livejournal.com]

Shilo saw Momoko and smiled. "Hi Momoko. Yes, I'm fine, and yes, two out of my four I'm taking. How about you?"

[heromaniac]

"Four? Wow! You have any fun ones or are they all hard?" Momoko plopped down and raised a finger. "I had one today! Criminal Justice! It's going to be interesting for just a summer workshop! Then I have two more. I'm only taking three this summer. Have you explored much of the island?"

[17andinfected.livejournal.com]

"Well, I've been to drama and archeology, and they were both interesting. I think storytelling will be fun. Superhero fashion... well... I'll wait until I've been in it tomorrow to decide." Shilo was still wondering how she'd ended up in that class. "I've been around the dorms and I went to town. I even got a job, at the York Gallery."

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Hi Momoko! Have you met many new kids yet?"

[heromaniac]

"Hi Robin!" Momoko waved and grinned. "Not many! But Shilo, here, is my new roommate when we get back to the dorms and she's a new student! You?"

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"I haven't met any except Shilo." Robin said, intrigued by the coincidence.

Robin was on the prowl for campfires that needed a banjo for sing alongs. Or even just to meet some people.

"Hi Shilo! How do you like Fandom so far?"

[17andinfected.livejournal.com]

Shilo noticed the frog carrying a banjo and smiled. "Hello Robin. So far, so good," she answered. "What's that?" She pointed at the banjo.

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"This is my banjo. It's the first musical instrument I learned to play. I'm getting pretty good on the guitar too."

[17andinfected.livejournal.com]

"I don't think I've never heard a banjo played," Shilo said.
