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.]

"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.

"I can get in enough trouble without going out and looking for more," Victor said. Though he knew that back home, somebody would have found a reason to poke at the rocks. "What did they do? Make you radioactive or something?"

"It turned people into monsters," Dave said. "And made me hide under my bed for a couple days because no way was I going near any of that craziness."

[ultron_junior]

"Not a bad choice." Not Victor's choice, but he wasn't going to blame somebody else for staying away from meteor freak monsters. "They got better? Or did somebody need to take them down?"

"I'm a little sketchy on the details, you know, since I was under my bed, but I remember something about firing the rock into space and that fixed everything somehow," Dave said.

[ultron_junior]

"Sure, that'll do it."

Victor wasn't being sarcastic; the whole thing was reasonably plausible by his standards, and he'd already made a mental note to watch for glowing rocks. Besides, he was distracted swatting at his bicep.

"I wish they'd sent the mosquitoes into space with the crazy rocks."

"Were there any mosquito nets with the tent stuff?" Dave asked, wondering how cruel the school administration was for a moment.

[ultron_junior]

"Um." Victor was about to say he didn't remember, but he realized that wasn't quite true. "There's a screen thing on the tent door, I guess that's what it's for. They work?"

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"Hopefully," Dave said. "I guess we'll know by tomorrow morning."

[ultron_junior]

"If the net doesn't work, my money's on this being a giant plot to sell Benadryl cream," Victor speculated. (And now he was wondering why he wasn't immune to mosquitoes. It was one of the rare occasions when he wished he was a little less human.)

"If someone at the school has stock in Benadryl, I might have to give a little credit for being clever. And then yell a lot because it helps with the itching," Dave mused.

[ultron_junior]

"I always heard oatmeal baths," Victor said. "But maybe you could yell while you were in the bath."

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"If I'm getting into a bathtub full of oatmeal, you better believe I'll be yelling," Dave said. "It might not be so bad if we had an oatmeal rain. At least then everyone would be in the same boat."

[ultron_junior]

"Yeah, but we'd all be all covered in oatmeal. I don't even like oatmeal," Victor said. "I might pick the itching."

[iwishiwasbig.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, but people have umbrellas, so it shouldn't be too tough to stay out of the oatmeal," Dave said.

"Come to think of it, I hope the tents are sturdy enough in case it rains solid food."

Yes, Victor, food rain was common enough that he was just talking about it off-handedly.

[ultron_junior]

"So what you're saying is, I should expect solid food rain at least once," Victor said, resigned. "Not, like, whole turkeys, right? Those would hurt."

"I've never seen anything that big. I mean, there's a first time for everything, but it's usually not anything that's going to cause much pain," Dave said.
