Rutherford B. Hayes Campfire, Saturday Afternoon

[wantstodirect]

Tony had tried to get a fire started, but he'd gone through a whole book of matches and the damn thing still wouldn't stay lit. He had hot dogs and buns ready to cook if it ever got going. He figured he was probably doing something wrong, but he had no clue what. He had wood, he had flame, what else was there?

He gave up and munched on a cold hot dog.



[Open like a British bakery on the 4th of July!]

"Hey Johnny." Her smiled was possibly a little wan. "I was inspired by your style."

[asgardcreated.livejournal.com]

"It is a kick ass style. Karla and I were going to come and give you a musical wakeup." If they had been able to find her.

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

Leda smirked. "Oh yeah? How so?"

[asgardcreated.livejournal.com]

"Nice, loud, noisy music." He grinned and shrugged.

[glacial_queen]

"Yeah, we were. So what's our new plan for vengeance since she's up?" Karla's voice was sardonic.

[asgardcreated.livejournal.com]

"We drag her to a party and don't let her have any wine."

[glacial_queen]

"You are cruel. And didn't you say there were two parties? So we're dragging her to two parties with no wine. Excellent," Karla nodded approvingly. "Wait--didn't you say something about wearing green to one?"

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"I'm sorry, I thought you were having a good time. And how is you wearing green vengeance?"

[glacial_queen]

Karla didn't want to admit that in what little she could remember of last night, she always did seem to be having fun. So, in Karla-like fashion, she avoided the question.

"Green is just what we have to wear to one of the parties. We're you're not gonna drink."

Of course, they weren't either, but Karla felt no need to mention that. Yet.

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"A green party?" That did sound vaguely familiar. Of couse knowing Leda she might have had something to drink before they even got there. "Did they pick a color at random or is there some significance?"

[glacial_queen]

Karla walked into the sunlight, shading her eyes. "What is wrong with the sun in this world? It's too bright," she grumbled. "Hi Tony."

Then she stopped. And glared. "Leda. If didn't think my head was still make of eggshells, I'd yell at you. What was that stuff?"

[wantstodirect]

"Hey, Karla. How's it going?"

[glacial_queen]

"I've been better, thanks Tony." Karla massaged the bridge of her nose. "Something I drank last night" significant glare at Leda "kicked my ass. Twice."

[wantstodirect]

"Tequila?" Tony guessed.

[glacial_queen]

"Te-what? No, something Leda brought over from Faery." She paused. "I think. I don't really remember much. But I do remember blaming Leda for it."

"Any word from Dinah?" Karla was the textbook definition of casual.

[wantstodirect]

Tony nodded. "Her sister's in the hospital, but she's doing all right. I don't know when Dinah will be back."

[glacial_queen]

"If you talk to her again, tell her I said hi."

"Are you going to either of the parties tonight?"

[wantstodirect]

"Yeah, I'll probably hit up the green party, at least," Tony said. "How about you?"

[glacial_queen]

"Jon came by to tell me about them. I think so." She hesitated, thinking. "I'm pretty sure I've got a green dress somewhere in one of my trunks. Do you know the guy it's for?"

[wantstodirect]

"Chuck? Sort of," Tony said. "We had a class together, but I haven't talked to him much."

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"It's water from the Mad River." Leda said. "That's it. I warned you it had a kick didn't I?" She was actually asking. She was hazy on the details.

[glacial_queen]

"Did you?" She vaguely recalled a warning. Dammit! That let a lot of the righteously indignant air out of her sails. Besides, she had probed it, and decided to drink it anyway.

Stupid innate sense of fairness.

"Well, hmph anyway." But she smiled when she said it.

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"Well if it'll make you feel better, I'm sorry anyway Fay." Leda said.
