Main Campfire, Tuesday Evening

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

Alex felt restless enough to emerge from his alcove and head out to the main campfire again. It was easier to both smoke and stay warm since it'd gotten weirdly cold over the last few days. Whatever. He was from Iowa. He was used to this type of weather.

Didn't mean he would pass up a fire.

So, he slouched down against a log, crossing his feet at the ankle and leaning back to blow smoke into the air. It was the second week of classes and, amazingly, they weren't going that badly. Of course, considering the classes, Alex didn't know how they could go badly.

He'd take the good news while he could. It didn't happen often.

[campfires are open things!]

"Hey, what's up," Amber asked by way of greeting. She didn't know the guy but that totally didn't matter. She sat down on a log and flip flops aside, stretched her toes towards the warmth of the fire.

"Incredibly amounts of nothing," he said, waving a hand and glancing at her briefly. "Very stimulating."

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"I'm somewhere between lazy and bored; wishing for something worthwhile to happen." She shrugged, looked over at him. "Or not. I'm Amber by the way."

Rose gave the other girl a quick wave. "Marshmallow?"

[minnesota-teen.livejournal.com]

"Yah, sure, thanks," she replied, grinning.

At home, Rose would have found a lounge or the visiting area if she were bored, but here it seemed to be campfires. She gave the boy already there a once-over. At least the scenery was pretty.

"Hey," she said, finding herself a seat against a log. She tossed the guy a marshmallow, mostly to see if he'd catch it. "You're on your own for the stick."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

His instincts were a little dulled but he managed to get a hand up to grab the marshmallow before it did something embarrassing like hit him in the face.

"What, you can't go the distance or something?" he asked, glancing over at her because hey, pretty girl. They got a little more attention. "Halfway there and done?"

Turtle blinked a little at the other girl. Was this...

...did she actually miss a newbie?

Well, she'd have to get right on fixing that.

"Hi! How's it going?"

"Mmm, it feels perfect tonight for a fire," Chie mused aloud, giving the small group already there a quick wave. "Hey."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Hey," Alex replied, waving briefly at the new arrival. This place was like honey to bees. Always attracting a crowd. "Can't really beat a fire on a chilly night."

He could be agreeable.

"Perfect, huh?" Rose asked curiously. "Nothing at all would be better?"

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Hiiii, Chiiiiiiie," said Turtle.

Because it was fun to say it that way.

"Aww, look at you, settling in," Lois said as she sat down on a log. "It's so adorable."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Are you checking up on me?" he asked, giving her a smile because, hey, he knew her and she was hot and interesting.

Liir settled by the fire, a notebook in one hand and a dog under the other.

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"I hope your dog doesn't catch on fire." It was a good enough greeting and there was a dog and a fire so he was just being cautious.

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

Rose eyed the dog, hoping it wasn't going to start having issues with her, and moved slightly farther away around the fire pit.

Once noticing Liir, Amber made her way over to him, sidling up close.

"Hi, honey."

"Good evening, friends," Adora said, smiling and having a seat by the campfire. Her skin was already pleasantly warm from the sun on the beach earlier in the day, but there was no reason to ever pass up a campfire.

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

Wow, this one was polite but blonde. It was a decent tradeoff. "Hey there, buddy."

Morgana sat down by the fire with a nod to Alex, hoping that neither he nor anyone else would see fit to mock her name this evening.

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"We meet again," he said, matching her nod with one of his own. "Hello."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Marshmallow?" Rose asked the other girl, holding one up. Since she had the bag, might as well make use of it.

Turtle was thinking she should work on Zack's medal, but she didn't have the glitter yet for it, so she figured she didn't have to feel guilty about just doing the campfire thing yet again.

"Hiiii, everyone!" she greeted no one and everyone in particular.

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Aww, Turtle, we keep meeting like this," Alex greeted, doing a valiant job of keeping pregnancy and hunchback from rolling off his tongue.
