William Howard Taft Campfire, Thursday Morning

[withoutverona]

Romeo was still sleepy when he wandered out of the cabin, mug of coffee clenched in one hand. (Someday he'd learn to make it properly without burning it. This wasn't that day, but this attempt was at least palatable when mixed almost 50-50 with cream and sugar.) That was his only excuse for thinking the falling glitter was snow at first, and his only reaction was faint disgust that they weren't done with the cold and wet part of the year yet.

Then he noticed the "snow" wasn't melting against his flesh and was, in fact, sparkling. He stood there stupidly in the morning sun, rotating his glittering limbs and wondering if he should be feeling some urge to kiss a boy.

[OOC: Open, unlit campfire!]

Leto, who wasn't aware of the meaning of glitter in Fandom, had also been a little startled at the falling glitter. He walked past the cabins and as he noticed Romeo, he approached him.

"Is this a common weather phenomena during this season?" he asked, trying to brush the glitter off his shoulders and arms, but it stuck to his skin.

"It's new to me," Romeo said, shaking his head (and releasing a tiny cloud of glitter from his hair as he did so). "There are jokes about it making people kiss, but I thought that was only jokes."

[future_sandworm]

"Kiss?" Leto gave him an amused look. "It does remind me a little of sand."

Ned hadn't yet ventured out to a campfire but when he saw someone familiar at his own cabin's campfire, he decided it couldn't hurt.

"Morning, Romeo," he greeted as he took a careful seat on one of the logs.

[withoutverona]

"Good morning, Ned," Romeo said, still waving a hand about to watch it sparkle. It was on the mesmerizing side. "It is raining glitter today."

Just in case Ned hadn't noticed.

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

So wrapped up in his own thoughts, he hadn't and when Romeo said something, he looked up and caught some glitter on his face and lips.

"Well."

He brushed it away.

"That's new."

[future_sandworm]

"Good morning, Ned," Leto said, smiling at him.

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"Morning, Leto," Ned said, smiling at him. "How've you been?"

[intraspective]

"It's sparkling out!" she informed him gleefully, just in case he hadn't noticed, and bouncing over to attempt a hug.

[withoutverona]

Romeo carefully set the coffee on a tree stump and let Ino hug him. "I'm not kissing any boys," he said, because she would get that kind of idea.

[intraspective]

She hugged him for a moment longer, then let go, taking a seat near him. "Why not?" Ino asked, far too innocently.

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"The glitter makes you look even happier," Ned observed with a small grin.

[intraspective]

"I must look like one of the happiest people ever today then!" she chirped, giggling. "I can't help it if the glitter likes me."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"I'm glad you're enjoying it," Liir said, not quite grousing but he was getting there.

[intraspective]

She blinked at him. Innocently, really.

"Why shouldn't I enjoy it?" she asked, a bit wickedly. "It's fun."

Dōjima was just leaving the cabin to go get some coffee, as she could smell someone's failed attempt and it was making her hungry. Coffee. Maybe a pastry, too.

She couldn't help the grin that broke out across her face as she came out the door and saw Romeo standing in the sparkles. "Feeling the urge to start kissing yet, koibito?"

[withoutverona]

"I see you, so yes," Romeo said, with his own grin. "Anyone else would have to wait a very long time."

[dojima-hime.livejournal.com]

"So this isn't the infamous boykissy-glitter I've heard so much about?" she answered, shading her eyes with her hand and squinting up into the sky. "I'm starting to think we've been lied to."

[future_sandworm]

Leto noted the greeting between Romeo and Dojima, and so he guessed who she was. "Good morning," he said.

[dojima-hime.livejournal.com]

"Ohaiyo," she answered, nodding her head at the boy she recognized from Minsc's class, but hadn't actually interacted with much. "Leto, yeah? Out enjoying the weather?"

[intraspective]

"Dōjima-san!" Ino carolled. "Romeo is accusing me of horrible awful things like me wanting him to kiss other boys!"

[dojima-hime.livejournal.com]

"He can kiss other boys," Dōjima called back. "If I'm allowed to play too!"

No he wasn't, but Yurika was willing to say it if it made him blush prettily.

"It's probably because of that horrible rumor that glitter causes boys to kiss. Scandalous, really," she sighed, shaking her head sadly. "At least I don't try to use such a flimsy excuse to kiss other girls. We just have the parties and do it."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

Liir wandered over as soon as he saw other people, ruffling his hair almost frantically to try and get it off (not that it was working; he just looked like a localized glitter storm).

[withoutverona]

"The stuff is everywhere, isn't it?" Romeo grinned. "Good morning, Liir."

[new-to-liirness.livejournal.com]

"Everywhere," he agreed.

"You should see my dog."
