Main Campire; Late Wednesday Morning [ 06/08 ].

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

It being a Wednesday with very little to do but plenty of exploring and treasure hunting and trying to hunt down that Jim for her overdue ride on his surfboard, Ariel slept in and then, when she woke up late that morning, got out of bed, stretched, showered, and then headed out to the main campfire. Under one arm was a bunch of marshmallows; the other held some graham crackers and chocolate bars, and she got a fire...ugh, what's the word? BURNing in the fire pit. She then went and found several sticks that looked long enough and took to the task of plopping marshmallows on them and thrusting them into the fire.

S'Mores! Breakfast of champions!

Of course she had plenty to share and, even if no one showed up to partake, well, then, that just meant more for her.

[[ open campfire is open, of course! ]]

"That's a good point, too," Ariel nodded in agreement. "If the island doesn't move again next Monday, I'll look into them at the music shop."

"And I can call home and ask my brother about them," Alice said with a nod. "My brother Edward's really into music. Though admittedly, his tastes lean more towards the classical and old-fashioned. But still, maybe he's heard of them."

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

Ariel's head bobbed a little. "I really like classical, too," she said with a fond smile, then she laughed a bit. "I like almost everything, though. Music is so wonderful. Do you enjoy it as much as your brother?"

[aliceseesthings.livejournal.com]

"I do," Alice replied. "But I like dancing to it more than I like listening to it."

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

That definitely made Ariel laugh again. "Well, if there's dancing involved, of course! Sometimes, I can't help dancing to it while I'm listening to it."

[aliceseesthings.livejournal.com]

"I knew I liked you," Alice said with a smile. "There aren't many people who like music and dancing as much as we do."

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

"It's hard not to," Ariel said with enthusiasm. "I mean, a lot of people say they don't like dancing, but most of them, once you get them started, really actually do."

[aliceseesthings.livejournal.com]

"It's all in the music," Alice declared. "Find the right music and you can get anybody moving."

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

"Exactly!" Ariel laughed again. "Ooh, so now I have to ask. What's is your favorite music?"

[aliceseesthings.livejournal.com]

"I don't really have a favorite type of music, exactly," Alice said. "I like some of the popular stuff, but I also like a lot of other music. Especially older music, from the twenties and thirties."

The music she would have heard in her lifetime, had she actually lived. Yes, she'd heard it as a vampire, but it just wasn't the same.

"Oooh!" Ariel was both impressed and excited. "I haven't gotten a chance to listen to as much of that stuff. Lots of sixties and on, because that's when a lot of rock started, and Jono introduced me to most of that stuff because they were his favorite."

"We should hang out sometime," Alice decided. "I can let you listen to some of my favorites and if you like them, I can burn you a CD."

A pause.

"You know what CDs are, right?"

Because if she was going to babble, she'd like to do it in terms her new friend would understand.

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

Ariel was going to roll her eyes, but it came with a laugh. "Totally," she assured her. "It would be kind of hard to work in a record store and not know what a CD is. But you're totally right, we should hang out sometime. We clearly have lost time to make up for!"

[aliceseesthings.livejournal.com]

Alice facepalmed. "Oh my God that was so rude of me, assuming like that," she said, laughing. "I just wasn't sure. Blame Fandom. But yes, definitely hanging out. I only have two classes, so I'm free pretty much whenever."

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

"Oh, no," Ariel laughed. "It's always good to double check with that sort of thing. I mean, I didn't know what CDs or televisions or cell phones were before I started coming here, so it's a completely legit question. Which classes are you in?"

[aliceseesthings.livejournal.com]

"I have Try Not To Die on Tuesdays and the Advanced Astrophysics (and Arts and Crafts) class on Fridays," Alice replied. "What about you?"

[shes-got-legs.livejournal.com]

"Cupcake War Crimes on Tuesdays, which is amazing," Ariel offered, "and I've got Childcare tomorrow. I work Monday and Tuesday, too, but, I mean, that's work, I can always skip out on that."

And, really, she could skip out on her classes without much concern, too, but she liked her classes, for a change.

[aliceseesthings.livejournal.com]

"But work gets you money to buy and do things," Alice reasoned. "And that's always a good thing."

Not that she ever had to worry about money, but still.

"Mmm, that is true," Ariel agreed. "That's why I wound up getting two jobs, and I really shouldn't miss Groovy Tunes any more since I always duck out when the island moves to go explore. So Wednesdays are good, or Thursdays after class, but, hey, what do you think we should do? There's that new dance club in town; that could be a lot of fun!"

[aliceseesthings.livejournal.com]

"Ooh, the dance club sounds fun," Alice agreed. "Worth checking out. There'll be music, and you can't really go wrong there."

Well, yes, you could, but pfft. Details.

"How's Friday night sound, then?" Ariel suggested. "That seems the perfect dance club day."
