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.

Elle had already had more than her share of s'mores in the past couple days, and for a girl who hadn't had one since well before her ninth birthday? That was really saying something.

She found a log and plopped down in front of it, leaning back with a happy grin. "Hey, Turtle."

"Turtle! Hi!" Elle yelled and waved from a good many feet away, walking slowly over towards the main campfire in her baby pink three inch wedges. She was carrying a blue blanket and held it in front of her, against her short boob hugging tank. Her midriff was bare and wrapped around her small waist was a cute, rhinestone necklace, its excess bouncing against her designer jean clad thigh.

"How are you?" she asked when near, settling her blanket over a log so she could sit carefully down.

Turtle smiled back. "Hey," don't say Not-Veronica, "Elle, right? There's like fifty of you in this group, I swear. S'more? Hot dog? Ice cold carbonated beverage?"

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Hey," don't say Crazy Pink Elle, "Elle!" Turtle greeted the other girl and tried to keep her smile down as she patiently waited for her to get to the campfire in those shoes. "I'm doing really well, thanks. You? Settling in okay?"

[tasenburn.livejournal.com]

"Yep, Elle," she said, mentally grinning that someone else besides Other Elle remembered her name. "And yeah, apparently our decade was short on imagination in naming or something."

And then she grinned visibly. "Anything but a s'more, please."

"I am settling, I suppose," she replied, iffy, but grinned wide. "I see you're getting ready to cook or roast I guess it is, here by the fire? Camping life is like, something I'm totally trying to get used to. Alex said I need flannel. Does Turtle and Canary sell flannel?"

"Good evening, Turtle-san," Hinata said, setting Yei down on the grass where the cat promptly rolled over and then darted up to bat at a bit of fluff.

[tasenburn.livejournal.com]

"Kitty!"

What? Elle had never had a pet before!

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

Hinata laughed softly, and smiled at the other girl. "Her n-name is Yei," she said. "She's very friendly if you want to pet her."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle let out a mock gasp. "What? No s'mores? You do realize that this is a campfire, don't you, Elle?"

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Of course we do," Turtle said with a grin. "We sell almost everything, Elle. You'll have to stop by and get some. I think we might even have some in pink. In the meantime, might I offer you a s'more? A hot dog? Refreshing carbonated beverage?"

[tasenburn.livejournal.com]

"I think I've already eaten my body weight in them since I got here," Elle said with a laugh. "And hey, I just don't want any right now. Talk to me after I've had something from the Cooler of Refreshments and we'll see."

[tasenburn.livejournal.com]

"That's a pretty name," Elle said, cautiously holding out a hand to the cat. "Does it mean something?"

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Hinata!" Turtle smiled at the other girl and then wiggled her fingers a little at Yei. "Hiiii, kiiiitty! Can I get you a s'more, Hinata? Maybe a hot dog or a pop?"

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"There's definitely more than enough for later," Turtle said with a smile. "And help yourself to the refreshments; there's a pretty good variety in there. Although I can't believe you've had too many s'mores unless you've puked. Have you puked yet?"

[tasenburn.livejournal.com]

"Not yet," Elle said. "I did get really nauseous last night, though." She moved to open the cooler and rummage around in it.

Hand equalled interesting equalled must go an Investigate as it was an Adventure and so Yei wandered over expectantly to sniff at the hand.

"Thank you," she said, flushing slightly. "It means f-flourishing. It's what I wanted for her."

"Pink flannel? Omigod that would be totally awesome," she replied, giggling. "Oh, I'm a vegetarian but I would love a s'smore and a diet pop. Can I help you do anything because I'm just sitting here with nothing to do. Do you ever get bored camping? What kind of fun things do you guys do around here?" She saw a lot of campfires and just ground. Where was the fun stuff?

[tasenburn.livejournal.com]

"She's adorable," Elle said, giggling as the cat sniffed her fingertips. "I'm Elle. Elle Bishop."

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

Yei mewed at Turtle.

"If I attempt a s'more I'll o-only make a mess," she laughed, with a look at Yei. Because Yei would definitely be right in that. "I'll take a hot dog though, and thank you."

Main campfire always seemed to have people around it, and Rose headed that way after spending some time in the Camp Gym. Something about a question asking who she'd fight made her really want to fight.

"Hey everyone," she said, finding a seat around the fire and immediately leaning in to poke at it. "Who made the fire?"

It was always good to know these things in case she needed one started.

"I guess we can count that," Turtle said. "Can't blame you for wanting to take the precaution from ralphing. Had any workshops yet?"

[shyest-eyes.livejournal.com]

"It's a pleasure to meet you," she said, smiling as Yei tried to duck under Elle's hand to get a head rub. "I'm Hinata Hyuuga. You're one of the newer students?"

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Here," Turtle said, starting to hand over a bag of marshmallows and a stick, "toast your own, unless you think that'll only result in burning down the camp. And as for fun, I guess some people would say something like Caritas, the bar, or working in the salle or with something like the reserves, but a lot of people are just content to go and see what everyone else is doing in a common room or at a campfire or something. Half the time, so much weird stuff is going on that just sitting around is a nice change."

"Had Ethics & Etiquette yesterday, and today I had Photography," Elle said as she snagged a can of root beer.
