Main Campfire, Saturday Early Evening

[give-areason.livejournal.com]

The less said about yesterday, the better. Her headache—how was she to explain that in her next report?—was grateful that she was avoiding thoughts of it. Temporarily. It was bad form to avoid things for long.

Rosalind knew that which was why, she sat herself by a campfire. Back straight, in her uniform, and trying her best not to feel as... severely out of place as she felt. This was not how she preferred to be seen. She was aware of the fact that she had to look ridiculous in her suit (too hot, too stiff, too formal) and sitting by an unlit campfire with a contemplative look on her face as evening slowly fell.

And a bag of marshmallows by her side. They weren't something she was particularly fond of but a few were alright and Rosalind was well aware that other students seemed to flock to them. Perhaps she'd use them as a bribe to get someone else to light the fire? Though she thought that might be ridiculous. It was hot enough without adding extra heat.

Even if it looked rather, well, pretty when it was burning. Mmm. Decisions, decisions.

"Everywhere is my home," Didi said. "...everywhere in my universe, anyhow. Goes with my job."

"What is your job?" she asked curiously, though bluntly. "You mentioned something about your family being different as well, the last time we talked."

"I'm Death," Didi said, equally bluntly. "My siblings are Destiny, Dream, Destruction, Desire, Despair, and Delirium. Del is the one who's here."

Her eyebrows inched up as Rosalind turned that over in her head, as well as considered the odds of that being, well, an exaggeration or... something.

"I would ask for a demonstration to prove that," Rosalind said, sitting on a myriad of emotions. "But I would rather not, in your case."

"Not how it works," Didi answered easily. (If there was annoyance in her tone, it was only because of what she had to admit next.) "And besides, I don't have powers right now. Ask Del if you want to see somebody show off. She'll make a frog or something."

"Out of thin air?" she wondered. "Or from somebody?"

Rosalind was used to the second option, frogs were... special, in her world.

She hesitated. "My apologies for prying. I'm sure you're not fond of being reminded of your current loss."

"Thin air," Didi said. "Whatever she wants, really. She just likes frogs."

She shrugged. "No, I don't mind prying. It's just ... been a while. I get itchy."

"She sounds interesting," Rosalind commented, not sure what to say to that. "Itchy... like you want to use them?"

That she could understand.

"More like I'm short an arm," Didi answered.
