Second Floor Common Room, Tuesday Afternoon

[era_two_triangle]

There was a Camp Pining Hearts marathon on the television. Peridot had found out about it mostly by accident, and was now fixated on the television screen for what was probably going on the eleventh episode, now. She'd needed to break for class that morning, true, but that only meant that by the time she returned to the television, she had a rather large collection of hand-toasted marshmallows with her.

A few had even been dipped in chocolate, not because she figured they would be better that way, but because her hand had slipped and some had fallen into the fondue pot. There were some others that had similarly been dipped in cheese, which people were welcome to sample if they so desired. She wouldn't be, naturally. She would just be laying down on the floor in front of the television, a myriad of yellow roses and one white carnation sticking out from her hair here and there, enraptured by the antics of Percy and Pierre.

... And Paulette too, she supposed, even if she was terrible.

"Well, it's probably all pretty similar, right?"

Which meant Ringo was going to have to remember the importance of races if she ever went.

"It has to be," Peridot decided. "This show is presented as a collection of archetypes in a way that suggests they're common factors endemic to the setting. It would only make sense if all camps were like this camp."

Complete with maple syrup, probably.

"Well, maybe not exactly like," Ringo cautioned. "I mean, you can probably camp in a place that doesn't have, like, a lake or whatever, right?"

Or could you?

Because maybe that was a rule, too!

"With how much water there is on this planet, I'm surprised that there isn't a lake for everything," Peridot countered. "But it would be difficult to have canoe races without a lake."

[soniaroadsqueen]

"Right. So I guess the question is whether you can only camp with lakes, or if you can camp without a canoe race."

But who could possibly know the answer to a question like that? They'd need a camping expert or something.
