Main Campfire [evening]

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

So, yeah, Puck was a little on the tipsy side. He'd gotten drunk in his alcove, though, like a person who didn't want to get in trouble.

Such an occasion, of course, called for fire. Sadly this was pretty typical back in Lima, too, where there weren't even firepits. On the bright side, that meant he was able to light a fire pretty effectively.

And now he had a bag of procured marshmallows, which, okay, he'd toast. But more importantly, he'd found a box of Peeps left over from Easter and was meticulously shooting them, throwing them, launching them and otherwise flinging them into the fire to make them alternately blow up or melt. So far, more were melting than blowing up, really, but if it worked in a microwave, Puck was sure it had to work even better in a fire.

[oooopen yes.]

"Yeah? What happened?" Tim asked.

"My roommate, Cara. She went from warrior woman to pretty princess. Complete with rhyming couplets," Peter said.

"Wow. Was it like she was drunk?"

"As far as I could tell, her motor responses were all fine," Peter said. "Just altered personality. Which is kind of amazing, from a biological standpoint."

"The venom must pinpoint specific areas of the brain. It'd be interesting to study."

"But pretty unethical to test," Peter said. "Unless we find people willing to be bitten."

"True," Tim said. "What we need is a sample of the venom so we can run tests in a controlled environment. Maybe do a study with rats, to start."

"So now we're herding gremlins," Peter said. "I think we might need protective gear for this. And somebody we pay to do the actual herding."

[boywonder03.livejournal.com]

"Definitely protective gear. You think someone would be willing to do the herding for a fee?"

"Everybody has a price," Peter said. "The trick is finding someone who has the right price and the skill to pull it off."
