[oh hey. there's a fire. it's a decent-sized fire! and there are sit-upons scattered around it, each with notepads and pens.

a tiny french girl has taken one of these seats, with a bottle of wine in her lap. every now and then she scribbles something in her own pad, then crumples the page and tosses it into the fire.

she's singing ce n'est qu'un

I can't believe it's this time of year already.

[cest_untrap]

And I can't believe I've seen three New Years, here.

[therictorscale]

Three? I think I'm impressed.

[cest_untrap]

It's not as long as some.

[therictorscale]

It's still a long time. How do you keep from going crazy?

[cest_untrap]

Well, these days...

[therictorscale]

That's forboding.

[cest_untrap]

[there's a pause, then you get a big smile]

Kidding! Camp's not so bad.

[therictorscale]

I don't mind it. It's relaxing, sort of like a really long enforced vacation.

[cest_untrap]

Relaxing? Your life back home must be very exciting, then~!

[therictorscale]

That's one way of putting it.

[cest_untrap]

Tell me a story.

[therictorscale]

About my world?

[cest_untrap]

[nods, patting the cushion she's sitting on]

Okay, there was this time when Madrox, he runs the detective agency -- I should probably mention I'm a detective. Well, Madrox can duplicate himself and one of his dupes came back from the future but he was also a robot, I think. And robot dup Madrox tried to kill us all and he also mind-controlled Shatterstar to try to kill us before that while Guido and I were on a road trip. And then I'm not sure what happened but evil Madrox went somewhere and then the real Madrox came back from the future.

--That's not really the greatest story.

You're not exactly a wordsmith, no.
