Main Campfire, Sunday evening

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

For the life of him, Dave couldn't find where his tent was supposed to be. He spent a while looking and for the life of him, he just couldn't find it. Eventually Dave had to give up and made his way to the main campfire, figuring that maybe somebody could point him in the direction of Nonexis Te...

Oh. He just got the irony.

Well, whether they worked as payment for somebody who could point him toward his tent or to help him deal with the thought that his tent might be a cruel joke at his expense, Dave had the basic materials for S'mores. And dammit, he was making some.

[OOC: I promised rilla_myrilla I'd post something like this when the tents were announced. Because of course I did. Campfire is open!

And as far as I know, Nonexis Tent does exist. Dave just can't find it.]

Victor had no idea what he was doing in a tent in the woods.

Well, in an absolute sense he did. His laptop battery was dying, so he was forcing himself to leave the electronics behind and enjoy ... nature.

Never mind that nature, other than the odd afternoon at the beach, was absolutely not his thing.

"Think they're really going to make us stay out here for weeks?" he asked, plopping down by the campfire. "I'm not feeling it."

"Well, they did last year. Except we were in cabins then," Dave said, giving a shrug. "But it could be worse. Could be the whole summer."

[ultron_junior]

"If they made it the whole summer, I'd be back in L.A. in about five minutes," Victor said, halfway meaning it. "But I could do a cabin. How come we don't have cabins anymore?"

"There was some... weirdness at the campsite last year," Dave said. "Just as a head's up, if you see any strange glowing space rocks, don't touch them, okay?"

[ultron_junior]

Victor glanced over to check if the other guy was joking. No such luck.

"Yeah, touching the weird glowing things wouldn't have been my first impulse," he said. "But thanks for the warning."

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"Not a problem. Honestly, you'd be surprised how many people want to poke something that's clearly dangerous," Dave said. "Hopefully they learned their lessons."

It was a fleeting hope, he realized.

[dollpocalypse]

"Absolutely not," Topher assured him. "I give it five days before people start to flee. Or die."

[ultron_junior]

Victor groaned. "Probably. Death might actually be preferable."

He didn't mean that.

"Which one are you in? I got La."

[dollpocalypse]

"Um, Billy." Wait, that wasn't the name of the tent, that was an occupant. Guess what Topher had been obsessing over! "I mean, something. I forget the name. Not Billy. "

[ultron_junior]

"Sure it's not Billy?" Victor asked, managing to keep a straight face. "'Cause that seems to be the name on your mind, dude."

And now he was going to take a moment to be grateful he hadn't, as far as he knew, gotten put in with a couple.

[dollpocalypse]

...Yeah, Mercy and Sam might be looking at a somewhat grim experience in Peni Tent.

"He's in it too," Topher mumbled, ducking his head a little. SHUT YOUR FACE, VICTOR. "'s like the school office has a thing about putting us together. Every time."

"Hey, Victor." Kenzi's greeting was accompanied by a tossed marshamallow. "Welcome to 'nature'." In verbal quotemarks.

[ultron_junior]

"Hey, Kenzi," Victor said, accepting the sweet. It did make things a little better. "Did we do something that really pissed off the administration?"

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"Nah. Well, no more than usual?" Kenzi said, looking speculative. "I think they like to fumigate the dorms while we're gone once a year. Either that, or run through the hallways on a Slip'n'Slide without inviting us."

[ultron_junior]

"Maybe they go through our stuff looking for contraband to sell on eBay," Victor suggested idly. "Whatever. It's two weeks. We're tough, right?"

Though Victor was much tougher, or at least less whiny, when he had full access to electronics.

[dollpocalypse]

"Oh, good," Topher said, flopping down on a log near Dave. "Make me some?"

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"Come on, Topher," Dave encouraged. "You can make some yourself."

[dollpocalypse]

Topher gave him a Look.

"Come on," he said. "You know I can't."

"You just put marshmallows between graham crackers and hold it by the fire for a little bit. You do things that are more complicated things than that all the time," Dave said.

[dollpocalypse]

"As befits my particular brand of genius," Topher agreed. "But I don't bake." Really. Ever.

Kenzi wandered out of her cabin and over to the fire, a bag of marshmallows in hand. "Oooo, chocolatey goodness. Sharing?"

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"The only rule is that you have to make your own," Dave said, gesturing toward the supplies. "Otherwise it's setting a bad example for Topher. And a bad precedent."

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I can see how that would set a bad example," Kenzi said, smirking over at Topher. She grabbed some chocolate and said, "Let's just hope for no evil meteors this year. They did a good job with the re-build, but..."

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"I had to explain that to the new guy," Dave said, nodding toward Victor. "Fortunately, he seems like the kind of person who won't go poking at the clearly dangerous glowing rock. The more people like that around here, the better."

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"Exxxxcellent," Kenzi agreed. "Not wanting a re-run of that. Although, I'm hoping someone--" She looked over at Topher, wondering. "Will invent some way to air-condition a tent before we're done."
