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.]

"That's kind of beautiful," Didi announced from the edge of the campfire. She'd spent a few minutes watching Puck play with the Peeps. "In a random tasty destruction sort of way. Hi."

"Wanna try?" Puck asked, holding up the box of Peeps towards her from where he was lounging against a log. Yeah, he wasn't getting up, but he could share. Especially with hot goth chicks.

Helen was feeling restless and had been out wandering when she saw the campfire and made her way over. She had no idea what Puck was doing, but he seemed fairly happy about it.

"What are those things?"

"Oh, the peep-manity," Peter deadpanned, sitting down at the fire. "Won't someone think of the children?"

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"Peeps. They're stale so I'm burning them," Puck said by way of happy explanation. "Wanna try? Sometimes they explode but otherwise they just melt all over and they're pretty colors anyway."

"Peep-manity?" She'd thought she was starting to understand this place.

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"They're stale," Puck replied, glancing over at him. "They're past their prime. I'm putting 'em out of their miseries."

"Kind of a waste of sugar," Tim observed.

"You sharing?" Ellie asked with a grin as she approached the campfire.

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

"They are... edible?" she asked, peering at the melting results in the fire. "Or were?"

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"So is throwing slushies in people's faces," Puck replied nonchalantly as he threw another Peep into the fire. "Didn't care then, either. Pretty sure there's more sugar out there."

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"With you? Always." Puck held up the bag of marshmallows and the box of Peeps. "You wanna throw tiny birds into a fire? Or just toast a marshmallow?"

[theotherpeter.livejournal.com]

"It sounded better in my head than Peepity," Peter said. "I take it you're not up on the Hindenberg disaster?"

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"They're marshmallows covered in sugar. They just went stale is all," he assured her, holding one out.

"I wish I still had some of my fireworks. It'd be interesting to see what happens when you stuff a cherry bomb in one of those," Peter said.

[boywonder03.livejournal.com]

"Dude, are you drunk?"

[living_endless]

"Sure," Didi decided easily, and reached in to take two bunnies -- one to eat, one to toss into the fire. "Do you think they taste better if you eat the heads first, or last?"

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

"The Hindenberg disaster?" She looked startled. "Has something happened?"

[elephantgadget.livejournal.com]

Helen took it gingerly, sniffing it and turning it over in her hand. "How odd."

She tossed it into the fire, watching as it melted down over the wood. "Is there some ritual or some such to this?"

[awesomebigsis.livejournal.com]

"Totally both, but I'll start with tossing stuff into the fire because that's just fun," Ellie replied, reaching for the box of Peeps.

"About seventy years ago," Peter said. "You must be from another world."

Or really not into history, he'd admit that too.

"Agent Drake," Peter joked, because it still amused him. "Nice to see you again."

[sexonyoursheets.livejournal.com]

"Heads last. You can watch their expressions," Puck said like someone who had been eating Peeps -- despite not celebrating their affiliated religious holiday -- his whole life. "They're a little stale, though. Better right 'round Easter."

[boywonder03.livejournal.com]

"Agent Bishop," Still amused Tim, too. "We meet again. How's your week going?"

[chic-harper.livejournal.com]

"Oh my god! What are you doing to those poor, defenseless Peeps?" yelped Harper, who had been walking by when she observed something horrible. She'd never had the courage to put Peeps in the microwave with their sad little eye staring back at her.
