Galaxy Quest Campfire - Late Sunday Evening

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

Rose wasn't sore yet from still being played-out Fight Club, but she was well-aware that was going to change as soon as she stopped moving.   So stopping somewhere close to her cabin seemed like a good idea.

She sat down by the empty firepit of Galaxy Quest.  It was too hot for a fire, but that didn't stop her from eyeing the firepit expectantly.  To actually try to and fail make a fire or not.  That seemed to be the question.

The cat who was Worf seemed intent on pouncing on bugs around the pit.  Rose was just hoping he didn't decide to kill a mouse and leave it on her bed again.

Valentine wasn't general one to go out of her way unless she had to or she knew she was getting something good out of it, so seeing Rose at the campfire outside the cabin already meant this was a good place to sit and be semi-social for a little while. She took a seat on a log, tilting her head at the firepit.

"No fire?" she asked.

"Rose!" Jack was happy to see her (and therefore a pleasant distraction), especially given the racket that was coming from one end of his cabin. "It's been ages. You got a kitten!"

"I'm trying something different tonight," Rose said, giving Valentine a quick smile.

She lied. She just failed at making fires.

What was with all the extra people around this weekend? Leda wandered over to a group of non-extra people and plopped down on the ground.

"Was there another influx of students and I missed it?"

"Jack!" Rose replied, grinning to see him. She eyed the kitten. "Nooo, that's Worf. I'm apparently watching him until the island decides to turn him back."

"Did you miss last weekend?" Rose asked curiously. "Because other than that, no."

[a-demosthenes.livejournal.com]

"Breaking the expectant campfire motif?" Valentine asked. "Daring. And the kitten?"

[bitten_notshy]

"Really? He's much more adorable as a kitten," Jack said, amused and cheered.

Not that Worf was a rival, or anything. Just ... it was cheering. Somehow. "How long's he been like that?

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"That's me," Rose chuckled. "Reckless and daring in all matters of fire." She eyed the kitten for a second. "That would be our fellow student Worf. He's just as violent in cat form as Klingon."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Isn't he?" Rose laughed. "He had a lovely bow the other day. He very much enjoyed it too." Right up until he shredded it, right. "It's been since - Wednesday, I think. Hopefully he's adjusting to life as a cat."

[a-demosthenes.livejournal.com]

"But cuter," Valentine said after a moment of watching him. "But I think that's just because no matter how violent, a cat will always be kind of cute."

Just like little brothers.

[bitten_notshy]

"Good lord, do people ever get stuck like that?" Jack asked. "And it's too bad the bow came off. I'm sure it was fetching."

Without having to worry about entertaining his roommate any longer, Bobby was finding himself, quite frankly, more than a little bored. Hence wandering around.

"Rose! Hey!" he flopped down on a seat by the firepit.

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"It's the ears," Rose agreed. "And the fuzziness." She shrugged. "And the violence is kinda cute too when he's all wrestling something way bigger than himself."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"I know just as much as you," Rose pointed out. She scowled at the cat. "If he doesn't turn back soon, we're going to have a long talk about leaving dead things on my bed."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Bobby," Rose said, grinning over at him. "Been getting in lots of trouble?"

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"No I was here for that. Maybe I just haven't met everyone yet."

[anarchist-queen.livejournal.com]

"Hi guy I don't know."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

"Could be," Rose agreed. "Did radio say anything about it?"

[a-demosthenes.livejournal.com]

"He does pounce those bugs with incredible conviction, too," Valentine pointed out. "That sort of earnestness in something so wee and fuzzy is almost endearing."

[longislandiceme]

"Trouble? Me?" he looked at Rose wide-eyed. "Have you been talking to Jean?"

[longislandiceme]

"Hi, girl I don't know either."

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

Rose cracked up. "Should I?"

[bitten_notshy]

Jack ... was not going to say anything about how dead things could be rather pleasant in your bed, if they were the right dead things. (Or undead things.)

"Ew. Could you shut him up in the dorms?"

And that, ladies and gentlemen, was why Jack would never get a pet.

Diana was bored and none of her objects had turned into people and she had run out of conversation topics with her cat, so there she was. "Cabin mate."
