Main Campfire, Saturday Evening

[vanillajello]

Kate had spent the past few days mostly on her own. She had hung out in her alcove, listening to music, reading magazines and books and comics, and just generally enjoying some quiet time by herself.

But now she felt like it was time to socialize again, which was why she was at the main campfire. She hadn't brought any snacks with her, hoping someone else might bring something.

She was just sitting there, looking at the fire.

[Open like an open campfire is! ETA: I'm crashing for the night, will pick up pings tomorrow.]

With a fresh coffee, Griff wandered toward the lit campfire and lifted a hand in greeting at Kate. "Where'd all the marshmallows get to?"

It seemed some things had come to be expected.

"Other people's stomachs, I guess," Kate answered with a little smirk.

"Strange, but I can accept that on a Saturday." Especially considering many were likely in hiding after all that singing radio reported. "You're just enjoying the fire, then?"

[And now I flee for dinner but I will return!]

[vanillajello]

"That, and just being outdoors," Kate said, "and now, apparently also enjoying other people's company."

Diana had a cat attached to her hair when she wandered out of her cabin. She and the cat seemed to be in a deep philosophical conversation about the best way to remove said cat's claws from her scalp.

Kate looked at the new arrival. "Okay, ow," she noted.

[oops-mbad.livejournal.com]

"Your other right paw." Diana informed Samuel, carefully sitting down. "Yeah, ow."

[vanillajello]

"How did that happen?" Kate asked, and was silently glad that she had not done anything like that while she was a cat.

Angela was more the prepared sort when it came to this sort of thing, and look who actually had a bag of marshmallows when she made her way out to the campfire this evening.

"Hey sweetie," she greeted cheerfully as she found a log to sit on, brushing off a bit of dirt before she actually sat down.

[vanillajello]

"Hi Angela," Kate replied with a smile and a little wave. "Glad to see someone brought something to eat."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"This," Angela said waving the pack, "is easily the best part of cabin living. It would be wrong to leave it out."

"Want one?" she offered.

[vanillajello]

"Yes please," she nodded, and grinned. "You can pretty much count on me accepting all snack- or sweet-related offers."

Turtle was resolving to get back into being insanely more socially, especially with her fellow classmates, and so she smiled at Angela with a wave.

"How it's going, Angela?"

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Not bad at all," Angela replied, nodding cheerfully. "I missed most of the weird the last week or so, workshops are easy..." she shrugged. "And you?"

"Got a new haircut," Turtle smiled a little, pointing to her new dark bob. "Kind of break-neck, but I think it. And I'm envious if you manager to miss most of it. I hate that singing thing."

"Someone stole my idea," Mirax announced, coming over to sit by the fire. It was a good day for it.

[vanillajello]

Kate turned to look at the new arrival. "Well I hope you didn't think it was the most original idea you ever had," she laughed.

[futuresmuggler.livejournal.com]

Mirax feigned offense. "And if I had?" she asked challengingly.

[vanillajello]

"Well, then I would seriously have questioned your judgment," Kate replied, with a disarming smile.

"Kate!" In general, Turtle tried to go to various different fires instead of just hanging out at the main fire, but she couldn't help diverting her path a little when she saw who was there. "You're back from being a kitten!"

[vanillajello]

"Hi, Turtle. Yes indeed I am," Kate nodded with a wide grin. "I've been back for a week now."

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Man," Turtle said, shaking her head, "I must have missed that detail somewhere. Welcome back, though! Feel good to be in human form once more?"

Elle couldn't resist the campfire, even with the animals in her care. That'd be why she had two leashes in hand, one for Bruiser and one for kitty!Elle. Yes, she'd convinced the cat to cooperate with a leash. It's best not to ask how.

She plunked down against a log, the animals settling next to her.

[vanillajello]

Kate glanced at the new arrival. The girl she couldn't remember meeting, or the cat, but the dog seemed familiar.

"...Wait, is that Elle's dog? Brawler or something?"

[tasenburn.livejournal.com]

"Bruiser," Elle supplied. "And yeah, it is." She gestured to the cat. "And this? Would be Elle in all her furry glory."
