Main Campfire | Friday Evening

[robinonadderall]

Stiles knew he was going to be forced to run at some point this weekend so he decided to counteract that dreaded exercise by shoving as many marshmallows as he possibly could into his face right now. He wasn't at his own campfire because he really wasn't trying to be around Jackson more than he already had to be. Their nightly accidental cuddles was more than enough quality time, thank you.

Since he was Stiles and couldn't be content with just enjoying the scenery, he was multitasking by texting people while he was sticking marshmallows into the fire. Which led to some problems. "Oh, oh shit--"

Another flaming marshmallow sailed across the campfire as Stiles tried to put it out by flinging the stick around. There were several stuck to the tree directly across from him.

"Okay, the flying flaming marshmallow thing is pretty cool," Bay deadpanned from across the campfire. She'd just been walking to her castle, but she'd stopped to watch the scene. "And points for not hitting anybody."

She didn't think she'd talked to this guy before, but it hardly mattered.

[robinonadderall]

Stiles jumped a little when he heard someone's voice but tried to play it off as...well as just him being weird. "Oh, oh yeah, flinging marshmallows is a talent of mine. I worked hard at it."

[justbeingbay]

"It's good to have goals in life," Bay said, flopping onto a bench by the firepit. "Is it a distance sport, or are you judged based on form, or....?"

"A ten from the Russian judges?" Tony suggested. Hey, look at him be all social tonight!

[justbeingbay]

"Sure," Bay decided, since she was also apparently social. "But I bet the Czech Republic's gonna cancel us out so their guy can win, the bastards."

"I think there's a bear out there crying over this," Tony remarked, eyeing the molten goo warily.

[robinonadderall]

"I'm feeding the wildlife!" Did bears like marshmallows? "They can lick them off the tree."

"Only you can prevent forest fires," Tony replied seriously.

Oh, so seriously.

"I did that last night," Gert remarked, claiming a log to sit on. "Rookie mistake. But aim for the dino bouncy castle, if you do it again."

[robinonadderall]

"And have my own bouncy castle be invaded by more people?" Stiles asked. "I don't think so."

The three he had were more than enough.

[arsenicmauls]

"I was thinking the school might recognize these are a fire hazard and send us all back to the dorms," Gert explained. "Too optimistic?"

[justbeingbay]

Bay waved lazily. "Usually I'd point out that might cause a fire, but in this case that could only improve our housing," she said. "Hey."

[arsenicmauls]

"That's what I was thinking," Gert agreed. "And mine is probably the least populated, and the guy who is in there is magic, so. Probably wouldn't even be any casualties."

She shrugged. "Hi."

"Wouldn't that melt through the plastic?" Look, that sugar got really hot. Scientifically speaking.

[arsenicmauls]

"So what you're saying is the bouncy castle would be no more," Gert filled in. "So..."

So yay.

"Poor marshmallows," Alex said to her temporary castle-mate, feigning sadness.

[robinonadderall]

"They are noble sacrifices to the greater good," he said. "The good of not catching me on fire."

[lil-nikita.livejournal.com]

Alex thought about that before nodding. "Yeah, okay. That's a noble cause. They were brave."

"It earned a viking's funeral," Tony assured her. From his vast experience with vikings.

[lil-nikita.livejournal.com]

"Doesn't there have to be some sort of water way involved?" Alex asked. Not that she had experience with vikings.

[justbeingbay]

"They went out so bravely," Bay said. "It's an inspiration."

When Maddie wandered to the campfire, the first thing she noticed was the marshmallow tree.

"I'm pretty sure you're supposed to eat those?"

[robinonadderall]

"They were on fire," Stiles explained. "Too on fire. My initial urge is to fling them away from me."

Though now more people were around he had been blowing them out instead. It was less fun.

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

"Not if they're meant as sugary sacrifices to appease the camping gods." TONY. TONY, STOP. TONY, GO HOME. YOU'RE DRUNK.

[arsenicmauls]

"I'm thinking it's a rebellion tactic," Gert offered. "Revolt against the oppressive bouncy castles with pyromania."

It wasn't quite building barricades and fighting for their lives, but it was something, dammit!
