Main Campfire, Sunday Morning

Unlike some other people, Karolina hadn't really had a problem with neither the tent living or the weather. She figured the first was because she'd gotten used to being in close quarters with people at the Hostel. And maybe the second part had to do with... well, her Majesdanian physiology, or something. The sun did power her up, after all.

Plus it had been a great excuse to spend a lot of the last week on the beach.

In any case, she wasn't in a hurry to get back to the dorms yet. She sat by the campfire – unlit, of course – eating a homemade granola bar for breakfast. A fuller meal would have to wait until she got back to the dorms and got cooking.

[ooc: Open, of course!]

"Did you need help lighting that?" Tony asked, looking up from his phone. His beloved phone that would never be without a signal if he could help it.
solarhippie: ([neu] Do you need advice?)

"Hmm?"

It took Karolina a second to figure out what he meant. But that second was well spent on making sure there weren't granola crumbs on the corner of her mouth.

"Oh," she said, as she got it. "Um, no, thanks. I didn't really need a fire for anything."

Tony gave her an amused little smile at that. "No last s'mores before we all move back to civilization?"
solarhippie: ([pos] You are sweet.)

Karolina gave him a little smile in return, along with a shrug. "I don't know, I think I like marshmallows in other forms better," she said. "So I'm good to move in that respect, really."

"Blasphemy," Tony replied, putting his phone away finally. "S'mores are the best part of camping."

Because he did soooo much camping.
solarhippie: ([pos] Willing to volunteer.)

[personal profile] solarhippie 2012-06-24 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, I guess then I am a blasphemer," Karolina decided with another light shrug. "Sorry?"

[identity profile] hoorayimrich.livejournal.com 2012-06-24 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'm sure the police will be coming for you soon." A beat. "That made way more sense in my head. You survived your first semester here, I see."
solarhippie: ([pos] Pleased with you.)

"So it would seem," she had to agree. "It's been... Weird. It's been weird."

But a different kind of weird from the few months that had preceded her coming here! Which had been weird, too.

"Good weird or 'Oh god, why am I still here?' weird?"
solarhippie: ([neu] Guys it might not work.)

[personal profile] solarhippie 2012-06-24 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
She paused to consider that. "Um, just... weird weird? I mean, I turned into a pony."

Which had not been harmful, but still weird.

"Happens to the best of us."

Regularly.
solarhippie: ([neu] I can think of a reason.)

"I've heard." Transformation seemed to be a big part of the 'welcome to Fandom' speech. "But it's not so bad. I mean I miss my friends, but I haven't felt the urge fly away screaming."

Yet.

"You can always call and visit," Tony suggested. "I play Call of Duty with Rhodey a lot. He doesn't lose well."
solarhippie: ([neu] Could be embarrassing.)

[personal profile] solarhippie 2012-06-24 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Karolina chewed a little on her lip. "It's not really that easy," she admitted. "I can text some of them, but that's about as far as it goes."

"Did you, like, need any help?" Because he couldn't not offer. It was a thing.
solarhippie: ([neu] Lean on me.)

[personal profile] solarhippie 2012-06-24 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, could he go back in time and make their parents not be evil?

"I don't know what there's really to do about us being wards of the state of California," Karolina shrugged with a wry sort of a smile. "But thanks for the offer."

"Oh." A beat. "My legal guardian's a lawyer. She could probably help."

DIFFERENT WORLD, TONY.
solarhippie: ([neu] Ummm...)

[personal profile] solarhippie 2012-06-24 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, Karolina was a little more aware of that hurdle. Because, well... Teenaged Tony Stark.

"But you're not from where I am," she pointed out. "So, uh. I'm not sure that would work."

[identity profile] hoorayimrich.livejournal.com 2012-06-24 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Awesome teenage Tony Stark.

"Well, if there's anything I can do, just let me know."
solarhippie: ([pos] Sun and stars.)

[personal profile] solarhippie 2012-06-24 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
"Thanks," Karolina said, again, and meant it. His age probably made him easier to trust than his counterpart from her universe. "Does that count for... Fandom weirdness, too?"

[identity profile] hoorayimrich.livejournal.com 2012-06-24 09:53 pm (UTC)(link)
"I got told that other me flew a nuke into a space portal," Tony replied. "This?"

He gestured back and forth between them.

"Totally normal comparatively."
solarhippie: ([pos] Hiding a little.)

[personal profile] solarhippie 2012-06-24 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Karolina chuckled a little. "Well, I guess it all depends on your point of view. I just feel like all the problems I've had in a while have all been weird."

[identity profile] hoorayimrich.livejournal.com 2012-06-24 10:35 pm (UTC)(link)
"You and me both," Tony replied dryly. "I'm pretty sure no one here is completely normal."
