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.

From Killer Tomato cabin, there was someone scurrying low to the ground towards the campfire. "What the hell are you doing?" Kyle asked with no tact. He was jumpy and the noises sounded a lot like trouble. "You're lucky I'm not armed." As introductions go, it wasn't his worst.

"Just some run-of-the-mill fireworks," Peter said, smiling at Kyle with no sense of remorse. "If these make you that worried, I think the school is lucky you're not armed."

"You have to be new. You know how many trigger happy students there are here? Unless you're looking for trouble. There are a lot of people who are into that too."

Sookie -- who already had yet another headache thanks to cabinmates -- came out of Harpy and strode towards the main campfire, an eyebrow raised. "Are you tryin' to blow us all up already?"

"I am new," Peter said. He wasn't sure if the other guy was just posturing or being serious, not yet. His smile faded a little. "Peter Bishop. And I'm not looking for trouble."

Fireworks were something Bod had seen from afar and only briefly at that. So, seeing them and hearing them from close range was something new. It got him out of his cabin and wandering over for a closer look.

"What's making all that noise?" he asked as he got closer.

"The worst that could happen is someone singing their fingers," Peter said. "Or blowing off a few fingers, but if they're that moronic that's not my fault."

He shrugged, smiling. "Not like I'm setting off any Roman candles."

"The most entertaining use of chemistry possible," Peter greeted with a little nod. "Minor explosions for fun and profit."

Now that he was confident there wasn't anything serious going on, Kyle took a seat near the campfire. He grabbed a stick to poke at the fire. "Kyle Reese. You've got a strange way of showing it. Seriously," his voice softened and he gestured around at the cabins. "More than a handful of jumpy people. Be careful."

"You're real cavalier about possibly losing fingers!" Sookie exclaimed, eyes wide.

[weetinyreese.livejournal.com]

"Hey Sookie," Kyle called to her.

Jack paused, arms folded, and observed, "I assume the explosions in the fire are intentional."

"I'd heard there'd been invasions," Peter said. "But everyone made them sound more like fantastical creatures than any sort of soldiers. I guess now I know to save the rest of the fireworks for July."

If there was going to be an admission of being in the wrong, Peter wasn't about to give it.

"Hi Ky -- you're back!" Sookie had to cut herself off there and peer at him for a second. "Unless you're not Kyle and we got someone who looks like you."

"It's loud, isn't it?" Jack said with a pleasant wave. "How's summer treating you so far?"

[theotherpeter.livejournal.com]

"That only happens if you don't treat them with the proper respect," Peter assured her. "If you're careful, and know the risk, it's all fun and no pain."

[theotherpeter.livejournal.com]

"I have no idea how they got there," Peter deadpanned, tossing another black snake at the fire. "Oh hey, I think I did that."

[therewaslife]

"Fun and profit?" Bod asked, interested. He took a seat and watched the fire with fascination. "Is someone paying you for this or is the profit merely your enjoyment?"

[weetinyreese.livejournal.com]

"It's me," he reassured her. "I got back this week. Longer for me at home. It's..." He thought about explaining, then decided against it. "Time travel. Did Bobby go home?"

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

She eyed him. "...can I try?"

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"He did. He had a funeral to go to," she said, wincing a little bit. "He'll be back, though. From what I heard, we're lucky we got you back. Unless Bobby was just being dramatic. Always a possibility." Not likely, in this case, but still.

[therewaslife]

"Hullo, Sookie," Bod greeted, nodding at her. "Are you enjoying the cabins so far?"

[theotherpeter.livejournal.com]

"Well, it's my fun and a guy across the causeway's profit," Peter said. "Though I'm sure I could probably mix some of these up on my own if I had access to a lab at school. Walter would probably even help me."

Kyle was used to someone not admitting they were wrong. He used to live with plenty of them. He wasn't pissed anymore, but in the interest of fair exposure, he kept talking. "Weapons aren't allowed on campus," Kyle explained. Technically not allowed. Technically. "But out here's a little shakier. You get the weird creature stuff, but some people come from places where they get shot at a lot."

"I kinda am," she said, hedging her answer a bit. "How're you, Bod? Cabins treating you okay?"
