Main Campfire; Tuesday Evening [ 07/07 ].

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle was thinking about going out to do her campfire jumping to meet new people and catch up with old people alive, but decided she'd take the hopping a little further and just go and get a good one going at the main campfire. She even took a trip down to the store so she had plenty of materials for s'mores, hot dogs, and there was even a cooler full of pop.

If you asked Turtle, that was all you really needed for a good campfire.

*smack*

Well, maybe some bug spray. That one was a big one. She wrinkled her nose and scratched the skeeter bite before poking at the fire a little more and setting up its christening s'more.

"It is, isn't it?" Gabrielle gave him an encouraging grin. "You must be one of the new students. It'll get better, really."

. . . said the girl who left her village on her own for the first time and didn't bat an eye at a Cyclops.

"That's good to hear," Bobby said. "How long have you been here, then?"

"Since the beginning of the summer." Gabrielle tried to make it sound like this made her wise and experienced. "I think I stopped being surprised right about the time the alligators showed up."

"Yeah, Zack told me about those," Bobby said. At least no one had mentioned killer butterflies? Those had sucked. "With the goldfish."

"Fish shouldn't bite like that," Gabrielle said, shaking her head. "At least not without sufficient provocation."

Like, oh, Xena punching them in the face.

"Well piranhas maybe," Bobby had to point out.

"I think --" let's not ask how Gabrielle knew what piranhas were. She read a lot -- "they have a completely different standard for provocation."

[longislandiceme]

"Like breathing too close to them," not that Bobby had ever seen a piranha that wasn't on a TV screen.

Gabrielle laughed. "How do you breathe at a fish? Blow bubbles at it?"
