Around the Cabins, Sunday Afternoon

[wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com]

Today Wesley felt like being outside. He didn't much mind where exactly, which was why he ended up wandering around the campgrounds, weaving between cabins in search of something to do. It had been a little while since he'd managed to get himself up and about, but today was the day and he was eager to make good use of it. The weather was nice and there was social interaction to be had.

Antsy? Him? Not at all.

"Oh, well, we just had a little trouble with the guy we did get to come on the show," Freddie said. "Apparently he thought singing while standing in pudding was beneath him."

[wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com]

Huh.

"...Oh," he said. "Is that... that is... do you, ah, often have people sing while standing in pudding?"

Yeah, he had plans for the next... zillion iCarly shows. Sorry, Freddie.

"Not really," Freddie said. "I mean, sometimes we do that sort of thing, but we have people do less silly things on occasion. But that's usually if they've got some awesome talent or something to showcase."

[wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com]

"Ah."

Wesley took a moment to consider that, making sure to factor in the possibly-crazy girl he'd seen planning iCarly segments.

Finally, he said hesitantly, "I'm not sure I'd really have much to contribute..."

"Well, if you ever have anything you want to show off, let me know," Freddie said. "I'll do my best to get you on the show and protect you from Sam's evil plans."

[wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com]

"Well..."

What could he really do? He thought back to his list of talents, but none of them were really web-show friendly. He spoke a whole bunch of languages, and he could translate prophecies with the best of them, not to mention perform a pretty kickass protection ritual, but...

"Oh!" Now there was an idea. "I can... shoot things?"

No one said it was a good idea.

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

Freddie got a grin on his face. "I'm pretty sure if you do that, Sam won't even think about some way to make it silly. So whenever you want, just let us know and we'll record a segment with you. You'd be internet famous for at least two days."

[wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com]

Huh. Well... he supposed he could do that, then. It would be nice to blow off a little steam, all things considered.

"I suppose I could give it a go," he finally agreed, half-shrugging.

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

"Awesome," Freddie said. "And I promise, no pudding. Or sitting in Cheetos. Or coconut bras."

He gave a serious nod.

[wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com]

"Excellent," Wesley said, nodding right back. Because all of those things sounded distinctly unpleasant. Especially the coconut bra thing.

"When and where does your show happen, again?"

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

"Friday nights," Freddie said. "We've been shooting the Fandom part of the show in different places. We'll have to figure out where we can go that you won't get in trouble for shooting things, of course."

[wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com]

"Of course," Wesley agreed with a smile. Huh. This was turning out to actually be a good idea. He hadn't practiced in a while, though, so he'd want to brush up on his aim before then, but... yes. It was a good plan.

"There is a shooting range," he added helpfully. "It's doubtful that you'll want to film the entire show there, but at least for that segment, it's at least a fairly safe bet."

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

"We could always pre-record it," Freddie said. "That way you could still have your Friday free, even."

He grinned. "Seriously, it's really cool of you to do this."

[wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com]

"Oh, of course," he said, waving a hand. Although to be fair, it wasn't like his Friday nights were all that exciting. Friday was library shift day.

"Just let me know the details and I'll come and find you," he pledged. "Any day except Monday."

Monday he had classes. And, as of right now, target practice.

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

"Got it," Freddie said. "So what are you up to right now? I mean, just out for a walk or what?"

[wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com]

Baaaasically, yes.

"Essentially," he admitted. "I thought I might wander around a bit, what with the weather being as nice as it is, and all. And you?"

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

"Same thing, really," Freddie said, holding up his PearPad. "Just taking pictures of the flowers and stuff to see if the app can match it up to what it is. So far, it's done pretty well, actually."

[wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com]

Huh. That was... really cool, actually!

Wesley came around to stand behind Freddie, looking at the PearPad with a look of curiosity in his eyes. "Interesting," he said, intrigued. "It identifies them just from the picture?"

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

"Yep," Freddie said. "You know, like facial recognition? It's got fauna-recognition. But it does have some trouble recognizing fungi."

[wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com]

"That's fascinating!" he exclaimed, taking a closer look. "And what would it do if you gave it an image of something that wasn't a plant? Would it be able to tell, or...?"

This was obviously an important question.

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

"It fails," Freddie said. "Though one time it did think my shoe was a type of moss."

When he shared that interesting fact with Sam back in Seattle, she'd taken his shoe and forced him to smell it.

[wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com]

Well. Wesley wouldn't force Freddie to do any shoe-smelling. That was just gross.

"Interesting," he decided. "Now, when it gives you the name of the plant, does it tell you facts about it, or just the name?"

Because he was just dying to learn about arrowhead. He was a strange, strange guy.

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

"It's got some basic data," Freddie said. "But most of the software went into the identification part. But you can't ask too much out of a two-dollar app."

[wesleynotponcy.livejournal.com]

"Understandable," Wes said. "Well, still, that's extraordinary! I don't suppose there's a way to find a program like that for my computer, is there?"

[randomspanish.livejournal.com]

"I don't know, does it have access to the PearTunes store?" Freddie asked.
