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.

Thirteen years and he spoke like that? It was Valentine's turn to quirk an eyebrow. "It might surprise you how, in the grand scheme of the movement of time, how much things can change in a sliver and how little they can in a chunk. I believe that I've been more capable to handle an insufficient technology and a distinct lack of workable space travel since I knew to expect it when I came here, a luxury I've come to understand not all of my peers here have."

"I was simply told that I was to attend boarding school on the Eastern coast," he shared. "Upon my arrival here, I spent entirely too long thinking that all the persons I'd met had lost their minds. Now, I simply find myself wondering if perhaps it was in fact my own sanity that has fled this damned place."

"I am hardly a psychologist," Valentine said, "so I shall make no suggestions regarding the state of your sanity, but I will say that you're at least in the company of others who go through the same oddities and strangeness and peculiarities, and my own knowledge of such things before I attended here is thanks to my brother preceding me by a few semesters."

"Ah, so thou wert forewarned," Tybalt noted, smirking faintly again. "One might find oneself needing to defer to thine expert opinions, then, should any more of this island's ludicrous behaviour deign to show its craven face?"

He was absolutely making a note of it already; if the island went insane, find Valentine.

"If nothing else, thou might be able to confirm the veracity of the jarring sights mine own eyes refuse to allow me to believe,and as such, perhaps my dignity will remain safe, though my sanity may not."

"If nothing else," Valentine agreed with a nod and a slight smile. "I make no claim as an expert in these matters, however, so consider yourself forewarned that there maybe be holes in my assistance. I also have a habit, it seems, of not attracting as much of the unnaturalness for myself as others, though I am hardly immune. I fear that even mentioning the scarcity of my own personal conflicts with this island's stranger moment, however, is like taunting a coiled viper with a stick, and I might be finding myself weathering the worse for wear in the future. The Island seems to almost have a sadistic sense of humor with such things."
