The Valley Campfire: Monday Afternoon

[iknowstuff.livejournal.com]

Anyone coming across the campfire today would find Layla sprawled out on a blanket as she traced a convuluted route on a map of the Northeastern part of the United States. She was lying on her stomach with her feet up in the air as she munched on a snack of raisins and goldfish crackers

And while a fire wasn't lit in the firepit, there was a cooler of drinks and some goodies from J'GOB sitting on top of them for visitors to enjoy.

"Hey, it's the girl who made me take off my pants," Hannibal said, wandering over towards Layla and the campfire.

"Come back for a repeat performance?" Layla quipped.

[a-demosthenes.livejournal.com]

"Made you?"

Really, Valentine had to ask.

"Now, THAT sounds like a story that needs to be told," Agnes chuckled as she wandered over from the other direction.

Kate was passing the Valley cabin on her way to town, with Bobby the penguin poking his head from the bag she was carrying. When she saw there were people around, she decided that she could do with a little detour, and approached the fireless campfire.

"Hi, people."

[iknowstuff.livejournal.com]

"Hi!" Layla said with a cheerful wave. "How are you?"

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"How's it going?" Hannibal said, giving Kate a wave from his spot.

"You have a penguin," Valentine noted, because, really, how could she not?

[finding-x-dream.livejournal.com]

"Is that a transformed student, or are you just trying to make yourself look particularly wise?" Agnes asked, gesturing at the penguin.

"I loathe this school," Tybalt announced, making his way from his cabin to the first campfire that held some faint promise of company, and smelling faintly of cat food. "I loathe this school, this island, and..."

He'd come up with something.

"... Thee." His eyes settled on Layla. Maybe he'd have been better off as a can of cat food, after all.

"Hey there Tender Vittles," Layla said cheerfully. "Welcome back to the world of the animate."

[vanillajello]

Bobby the little penguin waddled a bit closer towards Tybalt, probably made curious by the smell. Kate kept an eye on the situation, a little frown of worry on her face.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Hey, new guy!" Hannibal greeted cheerfully especially since Tybalt didn't look all together that cheerful. "Welcome to the campfire!"

[a-demosthenes.livejournal.com]

An introduction like that garnered a quirk of an eyebrow or two.

"Anything else to add to that list?" she wondered.

"That much loathing can't be healthy," Agnes told him.

It wasn't "their" campfire (it wasn't really a campfire either, since it wasn't lit, but details), but still Firekeeper and Blind Seer were here.

Firekeeper gave a nod to the girl who had her face. Even after meeting others in Fandom who had "twins" who were unrelated, it remained disconcerting.

"Hello," she said, before reaching hesitantly for a can of one of the fizzy drinks.

"Hey there," Hannibal said, giving her a wave. "Welcome to the campfire!"

He was all about welcoming people, apparently.

"Hey good looking," Layla said with a smirk. "How's life treating you?"

[a-demosthenes.livejournal.com]

"Blysse," Valentine smiled at the other girl. "How are you?"

[finding-x-dream.livejournal.com]

Agnes looked from Blysse to Layla and back again. "You do look alike," she decided. "I hadn't seen it before."

[a-demosthenes.livejournal.com]

"Planning a trip?" Valentine couldn't help asking when she passed by and spotted Layla and the map.

[iknowstuff.livejournal.com]

"Kinda," Layla replied. "Not for me really. How are you today, Valentine?"

[finding-x-dream.livejournal.com]

Agnes waved and smiled at Valentine.

Agnes couldn't help but look at the map. "Should we be worried about who -- or what -- is going to be taking that route?" she asked.

[iknowstuff.livejournal.com]

"No," Layla replied. "It's not anything to worry about. Just making sure everything is planned out for someone."
