Main Campfire, Saturday Evening

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

He wasn't going to admit that it was boredom that drove him out of his alcove and to the main campfire. He wasn't bored. He was just...without anything to do. Boredom he could have solved by sleeping. Nothing to do meant he wanted something to do and thus, he took himself to the main campfire. Despite the warmth, he lit the fire anyway. If anything, he could light his cigarettes on it.

Though, even he was intelligent enough to realize that was a really dumb idea and would only be tried if he got himself drunk. The snag in that idea was that he had no alcohol with him. Sad, really. He could have done with a nice bender.

Instead, he was just going to lay against a log and smoke for awhile. If he were some deep poet type, he'd call it stargazing. Since he wasn't that type, he was calling it relaxation. It worked for him.

[i declare this campfire open!]

"You looking to be an ambulance chaser?" he asked. "Bother poor people with broke necks to make a quick buck?"

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Public defender," Jennifer said. "Helping the helpless. That sort of thing."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Aww, a good Samaritan," he said, tone dry more than anything else. "If I had a gold star, I'd give it to you."

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Do I hear a little sarcasm?" Jennifer asked, her eyebrow raised.

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"No, I've really got a pack of gold stars in my pocket." He hoped the sarcasm was clearer there.

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Hey, around here, I have to ask," Jennifer said.

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"You've run into someone with gold stars before?" he asked disbelievingly. "Was he an Irish jig dancer or some shit?"

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"I saw someone here pull a safe out of nowhere," Jennifer said. "So I'm trying to hedge my bets."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"A safe what?" He didn't actually believe she meant an actual safe. "A safe word? I can do that."

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Oh, no," Jennifer said. "A full safe. I'm not kidding you."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"Bullshit." Not a believer. No apologies for that.

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

Jennifer put up her hands. "I'm only saying what I saw."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"And where'd you supposedly see this?" Alex asked. "Your dreams?"

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"One of the cabin campfires," Jennifer said. "It was Yakko."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"...Yakko." Good god. "His parents must have hated him. That, or they're Swedish."

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"You'll know when you see him," Jennifer said. "He leaves quite an impression."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"I don't know if I wanna meet anyone who's pulling stuff from their ass." Not that she'd said that, he just assumed. "I don't swing that way."

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

Jennifer pulled a little face, thinking his comment was a bit crass.

"Not that there's anything wrong with that," she said.

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"There's something wrong with pulling crap out of your ass," Alex said. "The ass was not made for that sort of thing."

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"I don't think he actually did that," Jennifer said. "It wouldn't have fit, anyway."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"At least you realize that," he said and made a face. "This place is like a dumping ground for misfit toys."

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"I always liked those," Jennifer said. "Especially the elephant."

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"And you like being lumped in with them now?" he asked.

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"You don't?" Jennifer retorted.

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

"I don't like being lumped anywhere," Alex said, shaking his head. "It's cute that you do. Very quaint."
