Main Campfire | Wednesday Night | 5.26.2010

[theotherpeter.livejournal.com]

Peter didn't particularly want to gather a crowd, but making a campfire and tossing black snakes and firecrackers at it seemed particularly amusing today.

So yeah, there was definitely a bit of noise. Peter wasn't a blossoming pyro or anything, he was just a bored teenager. Anyone was definitely welcome to join him. He might even have some moddable extra bits of fireworks.

"Have you found someone whose attention might be swayed by shouting?" Bod wondered. "Someone who shouts similarly, perhaps?"

[bitten_notshy]

"I was thinking of my guardian, actually," Jack admitted. "I had a few years when I was younger when I would have shouted if I thought it would make him look at me."

He was ever so much older and wiser now. Oh wait, he wasn't. Self-conscious, he added, "He's a busy man."

"My guardian's the same way," Bod shared, pleasantly surprised at both the similar word and similar sounding guardians they both had. "Busy, that is. If he wasn't around, I did tend to find ways to bring attention to myself. If I yelled around Silas, I'd make things worse for myself."

"With Sebastien, it would depend on why I was yelling," Jack shared, clearly more relaxed in the conversation now. "Does Silas live in the cemetery? You mentioned that in class."

"He does, yes," Bod said, nodding. "He was the caretaker of the cemetery and the caretaker of me, as well. One job was a little more difficult than the other. He was able to leave the cemetery though which made it easier for a human boy to stay there. I wasn't supposed to leave at the time."

"Dangers lurking if you did?" Jack supposed, with raised eyebrows. "I was ... handed off to Sebastien. My parents couldn't take care of me, but I bounced around a bit before landing with someone who could." He was matter-of-fact about all of this.

"Something like that, yes." He was unwilling to lie even if he didn't elaborate. "I was also very young and didn't know my way around outside the graveyard. Silas did so he purchased food, clothes and other things I needed. If he hadn't been there, I don't know how I would have survived. I love my parents but they were ghosts and they couldn't leave the graveyard."

[bitten_notshy]

"I've never actually met a ghost," Jack said, obviously wanting to ask more questions about that but not sure where to start. "It can't have been easy for them, I can imagine. You were lucky to have Silas."

[therewaslife]

"I was," Bod said, nodding once. "The ghosts though, it was easy for them to live as they did. They didn't need anything outside the graveyard. They didn't need to eat, they wore they clothes they died in and they could find various ways of entertaining themselves. I was the anomaly, really. I disrupted the peace and Silas tried to temper that."
