Main Campfire | Afternoon | Thursday | August 5

Jonas had not disappeared. The only reason he knew something was possibly amiss was the fact that he kept seeing shadows lurking just out of sight, their images passing by the corners of his eyes and disappearing.

It was strange. He thought it was a hallucination at first but he kept seeing them. Jonas frowned, coming to stand near the main campfire, a little tense. It didn't feel like a good day to relax.

In the distance, he thought he saw...something that looked like a bug but it was way too big to be a bug. Right? It had to be. Jonas frowned and crossed his arms. A shadow seemed to appear near a cabin and he turned, hoping to see something.

Nothing. Despite the heat, Jonas shivered.

[Open for those that haven't been eaten by voiiiiiiiiiiids!]

"Yeah, I agree with you Jonas-kun, they're not really sturdy..." Asuna frowned. "But maybe the school will do something?"

"They have before," he said by way of agreement. "I mean, I'm sure they're aware of the situation. They wouldn't want to unnecessarily panic us, though."

"Exactly, the teachers would do something about it! And, anyway, what's a little mutant roach and creepy shadow, right?"

Too bad Asuna wasn't familiar with the concept of 'Tempting Fate' yet.

"A little scarier than normal," he replied, suppressing a shiver. "I'd still rather stay away from those, if I can. I've barely had a chance to adjust to regular sized bugs."

"Even the regular kind are creepy." Asuna dug into her pocket and found candy. "Do you want one?"

[see-beyond.livejournal.com]

Jonas had to laugh at her going from talking about bugs to offering him candy.

"What kind is it?" he asked, peering closer.

[I am going to be commuting home soon so I will be AFK!]

Asuna grinned, that was just the way she rolled.

"Lifesavers candy, I bought them yesterday. There's only a few left but they're really good!"

"I'll take one, yes," he said, holding out his hand. "Thank you for the offer. I haven't eaten as of yet."

"You're welcome," she said, giving him a green Lifesaver. "You should always be ready with an emergency candy on hand."
