*Is already wearing a dress! ...Perhaps not proper evening wear, but close enough to pass inspection. Pokes her head in curiously.*

Oh, a ball!

[moveurdeadfros]

*So if the lady could bear the sight of a nine-foot doctor with a paper bag, how does she fare against the sight of one of the violinist being just a little to thin to look alive?* Indeed it is, my lady! And I must say, it is admirable how you've managed to dress for the occasionin here, of all places!

[comingoutfine]

*Not without some shock! But he seems friendly, and she's becoming used to the fact that camp is chock-full of WTFery.*

Oh, this is how I normally dress.

You're a musician, Mr...?

[moveurdeadfros]

Brook, my lady! Your musician for tonight's festivities! And may I be so bold as to ask for your name in return?

[comingoutfine]

Eleanor Campbell. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Brook.

[moveurdeadfros]

Ah, I believe the pleasure is entirely on my side! It is one thing one can say about this place, it is that one is never at a loss for charming new company! Did you know that new people arrive here every month?

[comingoutfine]

My goodness, that frequently?

[moveurdeadfros]

Indeed! The one exception is during christmas and summer, when they allow both children and adults into the encampment.

[comingoutfine]

How odd! I wonder why at those times in particular.

[moveurdeadfros]

It seems to me to be as random and haphazard as any other aspect of camp. Just another mystery that we cannot solve, so we may as well dance tonight and worry tomorrow!

[comingoutfine]

*Okay, that gets a laugh.*

Indeed!

[moveurdeadfros]

So dance tonight my lady, and let your only worry be if the young gentlemen of the various worlds are flatfoots or fleet of foot! I would ask if you had any requests, but I'm afraid your world and mine have different musicians... and I would most likely not know their works!

[comingoutfine]

I look forward to hearing your selections, then.

[moveurdeadfros]

Much as I look forward to playing them for your ears, my lady! *Waves her off as the handsome, bald fellow takes her hand. Just beware if you have any cakes, he'll want to steal them he will!*

[thats_terrible]

I see you're finding your way around, Miss Campbell.

[comingoutfine]

Ah, Mr. Luthor!

Yes, I'm beginning to grow somewhat accustomed to this place. Incidentally, I heard that you were offering accommodations for newly-arrived campers...?
