Main Campfire, Tuesday Evening

Sitting by a fire-less campfire with one's hair in a shower cap and a half-eaten bag of unroasted marshmallows resting on one's sleeping dinosaur's stomach as she snoozed between two logs probably wasn't a very typical "camping" thing to do, but Gert was a city kid, so cut her a little slack.

Or, in other words: Gert didn't really want the aggravation, excessive heat and mosquitos that actually lighting the campfire would provide, but no way was she sitting in that bouncy castle all evening, so here she was. She had a book to read, something about Greek mythology, and all in all, she was enjoying the quiet evening about as much as Gert ever enjoyed anything. She'd give this an A-, Fandom.

[[Open! Give me something to do besides whimper at the movies I refuse to download, please.]]

"Hey hey, castlemate," Jessica said, wandering over. And then, because she had to, she asked, "What's with the shower cap?"

"Hair dye," Gert reported. "Figured I'd spare you and Sia from being trapped in a vinyl structure full of dye smell for a few hours." It was less awful outdoors. "What's up?"

"Actually, I think I'm speaking for Sia here too when I say that anything you can do to make that uninhabitable so we have an excuse to not sleep in a clear bouncy castle is okay by me," Jessica said.

"Tempting, but the alternative is probably sleeping on the ground," Gert reasoned. "If the administration let us go back to the dorms just because our bouncy house was full of chemical smell, everyone would start doing it."

"I still think it's worth investigating, but it's your chemically-smelly head we're talking about here, not mine" Jessica said.

"I'm just saying I wouldn't expect sympathy from whoever's in charge of housing," Gert clarified. "They'd be all 'well, why can't you live there anymore; did you deflate it or something?' and I'd say no, it just smells weird because of my hair dye, and it would just be embarrassing."

"I'm just being an optimist here. Who knows, plastic plus hair dye? Maybe that's a toxic enough situation that everyone has to go back to the dorms for their own safety."
arsenicmauls: (conv: yes?)

"If only," Gert said. She was pretty bad at being an optimist. "Maybe you could send an anonymous note. Something like, 'Someone got chemicals all over our bouncy house. Are we free to go?'"

"They'd have to check that out, so they'd find out it wasn't true pretty quickly," Jessica pointed out.
arsenicmauls: (conv: yes?)

"I meant 'chemical smell,' Gert amended, before adding jokingly, "but hey, you're the one who said 'anything to make it uninhabitable.' Leave your options open."
