Wormhole X-Treme Campfire, Monday evening

[momslilassassin]

Ben, not surprisingly to anyone who knew him, was hungry.

He'd managed to get the fire started without incident and was now cheerfully burning cooking some hot dogs and staring into the flames.

Meeting new people would be fun--that's why he'd put out extra food and had given the bugs some silent encouragement to bite people at a different fire--but Ben was hoping they'd come to him.

He glanced over at the nearby cabins hopefully, then made a face, dropped his completely charred hot dog into the fire, and tried again.

Ben was a terrible cook.

[OOC: So very open.]

"Wow, I'm so shocked that you're hungry, really," Tahiri observed as she came out of Wendy the Werewolf Stalker cabin next door and, without asking, found a spot next to him and sat down.

So she wasn't a new person. She'd tell him he'd just have to deal with that.

"The ice cream I picked up in town didn't last long," he said, smiling at her and nudging her shoulder. "Hi."

[bitten_notshy]

Jack smiled toward Tahiri. "Enjoying the cabins this time around?"

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Hey roomie," Hurley said with a little wave.

George wasn't over the immense wtfery of his class today, but that didn't stop him from being hungry. An' it certainly didn't stop him from being drawn to the fire in front of his own cabin.

"Are those sausages?" he asked. He'd get to hellos.

It was going to take a second for Ben's brain to process that this wasn't a younger version of his cousin Jacen.

But before that happened, Ben's face was going to drain of all color. "Kriffing hells," he muttered as his heart pounded almost painfully in his chest.

Tahiri belatedly realized she hadn"t gotten around to warning Ben about George yet, and she growled a Tusken curse under her breath.

"George," she said, carefully neutral. "Hi."

"Kiss kiss," Karla said to the boy she didn't recognize. One day she'd learn not to use that as an greeting with strangers. "I'm Karla. "Welcome to Fandom if you're part of the newest batch. I've got making for s'mores here, as a welcoming gift." She paused, considering, and then gave him a tasing grin. "If you're not new, you can still have some, but I may have to ask something in return."

[bitten_notshy]

"They smell like it," Jack offered. "We haven't met yet, have we? I'm Jack Priest."

Kyle decided not to ask if he could join this particular campfire, being assured yesterday that it was okay for anyone to sit down. "What are those?" he asked of the hotdogs.

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Sausages, I b'lieve," George said easily.

And the boy didn't seem to recognise him so that was a plus.

[weetuskenraider]

"Hot dogs," Tahiri told him. "Not actually dogs."

She thought. She hoped she was right about that.

[momslilassassin]

"In my hands, cinder," Ben admitted ruefully, "but I've seen people turn them into dinner. Hello."

[glacial_queen]

"Kiss kiss," Karla greeted him. "I'm Karla. Those are hot dogs. And when I asked that question a few weeks ago, I was assured that they weren't actually dogs. They can be beef, pork, or chicken, but not dog." She held out the bag of marshmallows. "And, if you haven't had these yet, they're marshmallows. Very sweet and very good."

[bitten_notshy]

"Kyle," Jack greeted. "Settling in all right?"

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Kyle, right?" Hurley said. "You totally have the most important rule down. Awesome."

After her visit to Nine Hells' campfire, Karla continued her quest to find campfire that weren't her own, and people to harass share s'mores with. Seeing both friendly faces and newbies made Wormhole X-treme her next stop. "Kiss kiss!" she called. "I come bearing tasty things!"

So long as she wasn't cooking them, anyway.

[momslilassassin]

"I'll trade you for something that's not supposed to be on fire," Ben replied, smiling.

[weetuskenraider]

Tahiri waved. "Hi, cabinmate."

[bitten_notshy]

Jack waved slightly. "Hello, Karla. Are you liking the cabins?"

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Hey Karla," Hurley said, waving at her. "I think that might be my favoritest greeting ever."

[bitten_notshy]

Jack sniffed the air and eyed the sausages curiously. He was hungry; he just had to check and make sure he could eat them.

"It's Ben, isn't it?" he asked, grateful for Skywalker's flying class. "Do you know if those are beef or pork? And are you sharing them?"

It was possible the second question should have come first.

[momslilassassin]

"Hi, Jack," Ben replied. "They're beef, at least when other people are cooking them. When I do it, they're...cinders."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

Hurley plopped down at his campfire, and yes he had his bag of s'more fixings.

"Hey dudes," he said, smiling.

[momslilassassin]

Ben smiled. "Hi, Hurley."

Jaina might say she was here feigning social, but the fact was that she hadn't seen Ben in a while, and there were things she should probably tell him about so it didn't come as a surp- Oh fine, George had gotten here first. Still, there were other things. Also, frankly, she was sick of not seeing him. She did tend to worry, so sue her.

And maybe she could manage not to completely suck at talking like she seemed to be.

[weetuskenraider]

Tahiri shot her a look that said Yeah, we didn't warn him in time. And maybe scooted an inch or two away from Ben.
