Campfire... fun? Road Trip, Night 1! [SWS]
Kon: "Dammit! I burned another one! Gimme the graham crackers, would you?"
Cassie: "You need to be more patient with it. Here."
Bart: "Eat it burned, we've got a limited supply of marshmallows, dude."
Kon: "Duh. I'm not wasting a perfectly good marshmallow. But I will make one perfectly!"
Cissie: "You know, the fire might be easier on the marshmallows than heat vision."
Tim: "It really doesn't take that much longer in the fire."
Bart: "Maybe the fire's faulty?"
Cassie: "How can the fire be faulty?"
Cassie: "Oh. Haha."
Kon: "Anyone can do it in the fire. This is more interesting."
Kon: "I don't get it!"
Bart: "You're faulty!"
Kon: "Your face is faulty."
Cassie: "Bart!"
Cassie: "Kon!"
Bart: "My face is awesome."
Kon: "I still don't get it!"
Tim: "....."
Cissie: ::groan::
Cassie: "Tim, can you make me a marshmallow?"
Tim: "Of course."
Bart: "Cissie, can you tell Kon my face is awesome?"
Kon: "Where the hell did we leave the chocolate?"
Bart: "Steph took some to entice the bears into her traps."
Kon: "We needed that chocolate! Bears don't eat chocolate anyway! Do they?"
Bart: "No, they don't. Bears around here are foragers. Berries and fruit and honey and stuff. And fish."
Cissie: "*I* have the rest of the chocolate. And your face is awesome, Bart. Kon, your foot is going to catch fire in two seconds."
Cassie: "Can I have a square, Cissie?"
Cissie: "You may!"
Kon: "My foot will not catch fire!"
Cissie: "It's almost *in* the fire, Kon!"
Kon: "I'm invulnerable!"
Tim: "Cassie, here's your marshmallow...some here may note how it is not blackened or on fire."
Kon: "I WILL MAKE A MARSHMALLOW THAT IS PERFECT TOO."
Cissie: "The ones that catch fire and turn black ARE perfect! I don't know what's wrong with all of you."
Cassie: "Thank you, my Tim!"
Tim: "You're welcome."
Bart: "Ciiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissie."
Cassie: "Burnt and raw is not to my taste, Cissie, sorry."
Steph: "GUYS. Guys. I saw a bear! I swear I did. I chucked a rock at it but I don't think that did anything because it was a BEAR and I had a ROCK and whhhhy did we ever leave the city I was only meant for the city D:"
Kon: "Steph, you are crazy."
Bart: "If you chucked a rock at it, it would be angry and follow you back and there is NO BEAR HERE."
Kon: "Do you want me to punch it in the face?"
Cassie: "NO PUNCHING BEARS!"
Steph: "BEARS ARE CRAZY"
Cissie: "Are you sure you didn't throw a rock at a really big dog or something?"
Kon: "Want a marshmallow? I'll make it perfect for you!"
Steph: "...maybe kon could just punch it in the face a *little*? Why else be friends with superboy?"
Cassie: "Did you really throw a rock? Don't throw rocks!"
Cissie: "No punching animals in the face!"
Tim: "Can we NOT provoke the bears?"
Steph: "I did! I have such great aim :D!"
Bart: "There aren't any bears!"
Cassie: "There aren't any bears!"
Steph: "There are totally bears"
Cassie: "We are in Kentucky."
Bart: "If Kon doesn't shave, he can be the bear."
Tim: "Or cougars, wild dogs, angry prairie dogs..."
Cissie: "And the number of times we've had this bear argument now stands at twenty-one. For TODAY."
Steph: "BEAR ARE NATIVE TO KENTUCKY maybe."
Kon: "SHIT MY SHOE IS ON FIRE!"
Cissie: "I TOLD YOU."
Bart: "Yeah, there are lots of bears in Kentucky, but not - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA."
Kon: "It doesn't hurt."
Kon: *stamps out*
Kon: "But I liked these shoes."
Tim: "There are snakes in Kentucky."
Cissie: "I don't care! Now the campsite is going to smell like burnt rubber all night! KON."
Cassie: "Tim!"
Cissie: "Tim!"
Tim: "Sorry..."
Kon: "It will not! Put something, like, nice smelling in the fire!"
Tim: "Harmless snakes, of course."
Cassie: "The fire will scare away any wildlife."
Kon: "I hear there are ghosts around here..."
Cissie: "That's not how that works, Kon!"
Bart: "Your face is a ghost."
Steph: "Not helpful, boy wonder >("
Cassie: "Kon, don't be dumb."
Kon: "No, really, isn't this around where we first met Greta? Or am I totally wrong?"
Cissie: "The lesson of the night is ALWAYS LISTEN TO CISSIE. Especially when she tells you you are about to catch fire!"
Bart: "You said that to me last night..."
Cassie: "Gah! Fine! We are all going to be eaten by bears, snakes and ghost Oh my!"
Cissie: "...."
Steph: *gasp*
Steph: "Why would you say that D:"
Cassie: "It stopped all of you saying it."
Kon: "I wasn't saying it!"
Cissie: "Here, Steph, make yourself a flaming marshmallow. It will help."
Tim: "Technically, none of the snakes in Kentucky are large enough to eat any one of us."
Cassie: "you brought up ghosts!"
Bart: "Flaming marshmallow. That's a good nickname for Kon."
Kon: "It sounds like a band."
Steph: "Abra cadabra, I'm a flaming marshmallow!"
Steph: "Haha, you guys see what I did there?"
Steph: "You see what I did there."
Kon: "...I don't get it."
Steph: *crickets chirp*
Steph: *a tumbleweed blows by*
Cissie: "See? And everyone mocks me about the flaming marshmallows."
Cassie: "No one is mocking anyone."
Cassie: "We are all just teasing our friends."
Steph: *Holds up hand for a high five*
Steph: "Cass :D? Come on :D?"
Cass: *...stares for at least twenty seconds before, fine, okay*
Steph: *smacks it like it's hot~~~*
Kon: "Shut up all of you. I'm going to heat vision this bitch into perfection."
Tim: "...Hmm."
Cissie: "This is attempt number--Kon, did you use an entire bag of marshmallows??"
Cassie: "Kon, please don't?"
Bart: "Tim just said hmmm for the ninetieth time today. I'm keeping track."
Tim: "That's completely absurd."
Cissie: "No, there's a list."
Tim: "Where is this list?"
Cassie: "Cissie!"
Cassie: "Shhhh!"
Cissie: "It's in my head!"
Steph: "He averages about thirty five on a weekday."
Tim: "......."
Bart: "I guess we're a good influence."
Steph: "It is sad that I know that."
Cassie: "Its' a list of everyone Tim, not just you."
Tim: *sighs*
Steph: "We all have boring stake outs, okay?"
Kon: "YES! IT'S PERFECT!"
Tim: "I see."
Kon: "And I only used half a bag."
Kon: "Bart's eaten more."
Cassie: "So you'll stop now?
Bart: "i'm hungry!"
Cissie: "Perfect is a matter of opinion."
Steph: "Bart always eats more!"
Kon: "You're always hungry."
Cissie: "Bart bought the food. He had his appetite in mind!"
Kon: "Cissie, I will burn you all the marshmallows you want."
Tim: "Does anyone want my marshmallow? This is entirely too messy."
Cissie: "I don't want heat visioned burned marshmallows! I want FLAMING marshmallows."
Kon: "Tim you will eat it and you will LIKE it."
Cassie: "I can make it a Smore for you"
Tim: "Hm----Um. All right."
Steph: "Cass, are you going to eat your smore >_>"
Cassie: "It'll be yummy, you'll see."
Steph: "I am taking your silence as a no"
Cass: "..Want it?"
Steph: "And you continued silence as a 'steph, my good friend, go ahead and eat my junk food'"
Tim: "...Okay."
Steph: "yes :D!"
Bart: (omfg house is blowing my mind, i'm gonna need a second... bart is playing violin)
Cissie: "Guys! Try a s'more!!"
Cassie: "Ta-da! One S'more for my Tim."
Cassie: "Kon, you want one?"
Kon: "Yes, please."
Kon: "Agh, this is a turn-on for you, Cissie? It sounds like a dying cat!"
Cassie: "Kon!"
Tim: "Thank you."
Cissie: "SHHH. You are mean."
Cassie: *KISS*
Kon: "Eh, I'm just teasing. He knows it."
Cissie: "You are still talking through it!"
Steph: ((cass at some point has peaced out from the group, and steph's noticed))
Cass: ((Cass is getting overwhelmed /o\))
Cassie: "Here, Kon - eat this. It'll keep your mouth busy."
Tim: *snickers*
Steph: Hey so! I have had three big gulps and need to go pee. I am gonna go do that!
Steph: *leaves so quick there are whisps of smoke!*
Kon: "I can think of better ways to keep my mouth busy..."
Bart: "She's totally going to mack on Cass."
Kon: "Hell yes she is."
Bart: *goes back to playing*
Cissie: ::groans::
Steph: *from the woods*
Steph: I am not going to mack on cass, I am going to pee >>>(
Steph: *and away!*
Steph: *might maybe mack on cass*
Kon: "Seriously, they should just hook up already."
Bart: "I knooooooooooooow."
Cassie: "Seriously you should stay out of it."
Cissie: "Less talking, more playing!"
Kon: "Where is the fun in that?"
Tim: *sigh*
Kon: "Thanks, Cassie. This is good."
Cassie: *nods*
Bart: "If I'd stayed out of yours guys' thing, you guys wouldn't be you guys."
Kon: "See? He makes a good point."
Cassie: *Cassie is quiet*
Tim: *attempts to neatly eat the s'more*
Kon: *Puts an arm over her and kisses her cheek*
Kon: "Give it up, Tim. Just embrace the messiness."
Bart: "Wait, I'm not allowed to talk?"
Kon: "No, you are not."
Cissie: "You're allowed to talk but you're playing the violin! Baaaart!"
Tim: "This cannot be good for the enamel of one's teeth. It's pure sugar."
Cissie: "That is what toothpaste is for!"
Cassie: "Corn syrup is more likely"
Bart: "i can't talk while I'm playing! Ciiiiiiiiisie!"
Cissie: ::pouty face!::
Bart: "Corn syrup is sugar."
Cassie: "No, it's made out of CORN*
Kon: "I will lick the messiness and sugar off of you, Tim."
Tim: "Huh."
Bart: "Uh, corn has sugar in it."
Bart: *choosing to ignore Kon*
Kon: *smirks*
Cissie: "Glucose! And I am still pouting here."
Cassie: "But sugar refers to sugar cane"
Kon: "Bart, go make out with Cissie. She's pouting."
Bart: "Sugar could mean any sugar! Glucose, fructose, lactose, sucrose..."
Cassie: "FINE!"
Bart: "FINE!"
Bart: *goes back to playing*
Kon: "This discussion is way boring."
Cassie: "I'm going for a walk :/"
Bart: "Wait, what?"
Cissie: "No walks!!"
Bart: "I was kidding!"
Tim: *frowns*
Bart: "Well, I wasn't kidding about the sugar, but I also don't care."
Kon: "...you okay"
Cissie: "Bart! More violin playing!"
Bart: "I'm not going to play if Cassie's leaving."
Cassie: "That's not fair!"
Tim: "I'll go read for a while. I brought a book."
Cissie: "No one's leaving! We are all having FUN."
Bart: *pouts*
Cassie: *sits down*
Bart: *plays something cheery!*
Kon: *takes Cassie's hands* "You okay?" *quietly*
Cassie: "I'm fine."
Kon: "I love you."
Cassie: "I'm fine!"
Kon: "Sorry! I just worry, okay?"
Cissie: "You were going to leave! Over corn syrup!" ::throws a marshmallow at her nose!::
Tim: *blinks*
Cissie: (it was a nice throw? 0:))
Cissie: (filled with love and corn syrup!)
Tim: *grabs an almost empty bag of marshmallows and holds it out to Cassie*
Cassie: *stares from thrown marshmallow to bag to Cissie to Tim and laughs*
Cassie: "So you want another Smore then, my Tim?"
Tim: *grins*
Bart: *is still playing!*
Cissie: ::grins. sets another marshmallow on fire!::
Tim: "It was very nice."
Cassie: *whispers* "Sorry, Kon"
Tim: *has marshmallow goo all over his arm* *looks at it and sighs quietly*
Kon: *hugs her*
Kon: *whispers* "You've got nothing to be sorry about."
Cissie: "...Tim, how did you get marshmallow on your forehead?"
Cassie: *is quiet again*
Tim: *BLINKS* "What?"
Cassie: *but then distracted by Cissie&Tim*
Tim: *stands up* "Where is a mirror?"
Kon: *laughs* "It's a good look on you, Tim."
Cassie: *points to van, giggling*
Tim: *sighs and goes over to the van, looking in the side mirror* Wonderful.
Bart: "Can I stop playing so i can laugh at Tim?"
Tim: "NO!"
Cassie: *follows and cleans his face, hand licked*
Cissie: "Yes. But only because you are playing again tomorrow."
Tim: *smiles*
Bart: "I'm playing for you in our tent."
Cassie: "All better.'
Cissie: "Hee."
Tim: "Thank you."
Kon: "Aww, you two and your violin kink."
Bart: "it's her kink."
Cissie: "It's not a kink!"
Bart: "Okay!"
Kon: "Turns you on?"
Cassie: *face palm*
Kon: *whispered to Cassie* "Please tell me you got a picture of that before you wiped it off."
Bart: "It's about romance, not sex."
Kon: "You can have romance kinks!"
Cissie: ::GROANS::
Tim: "Playing music for one you love is something done through the ages. It's very thoughtful...also, I heard that, Kon."
Bart: "Thank you, Timbelina."
Cissie: "Thank you, Tim!"
Tim: "You're welcome."
Kon: "Still say it counts."
Bart: "Still say you smell."
Tim: *sigh*
Cassie: *leans head on Tim's shoulder*
Cissie: "I am not sure if Kon is allowed to have opinions about kinks?"
Tim: *smiles and rests his face against Cassie's hair*
Kon: "I like kinks."
Kon: *stealthy grabs Cassie's camera and takes a picture of Tim and Cassie*
Cissie: "...I think I just made my point?"
Kon: "I have no idea."
Bart: "I don't know what your point was, but you totally made it."
Cissie: ::sigh::
Bart: "Whaaat?"
Kon: *snags another marshmallow*
Cassie: *eyes closed, content* "No, I think he means...Bart playing violin makes him more attractive..so...kink"
Cissie: "I think my point is that Kon talking about kinks is kind of pot calling the kettle black? Or something."
Kon: "I didn't mean it as a bad thing!"
Kon: "It's like the pot calling the kettle... dead sexy."
Cissie: "..."
Kon: "No! HOT!"
Kon: "Cause they're both used to heat stuff! Dude, my metaphor works!"
Cassie: *tries to contain giggles*
Cissie: ::throws a marshmallow at Kon::
Tim: *grins*
Bart: "Did you just call m girlfriend dead sexy?"
Tim: *decides to be helpful* "I think he did."
Cassie: *We are all dead sexy, how's that?"
Bart: "... okay."
Cissie: ::grins::
Kon: *catches marshmallow in mouth*
Kon: "Your girlfriend is dead sexy and way hotter than you. But so are my people." *arm around Tim and Cassie*
Cassie: *quietly* "It's not actually necessary to insult Bart in order to compliment us."
Bart: "Well, she is hotter than I am."
Cassie: *frowns*
Bart: "She is!"
Kon: "Cass, I'm just teasing."
Cissie: ::eyeroll:: "No way."
Bart: "No, totally."
Cissie: "You're a dork."
Cassie: *is quiet*
Bart: "Yeah, but I looooooove you."
Bart: ...
Kon: *rubs her arm*
Bart: "Cassie."
Cassie: "...Bart?"
Tim: *reaches over and takes Cassie's hand, traces words into her palm with his fingertip*
Bart: "If you're going to get all leader-broody and upset every time we tease each other, you're going to be leader-broody and upset a lot."
Cassie: "I'm not upset. Or....*face* leader-broody."
Bart: "Yeaaaaaaaaaaah, I could tell. From all the cheeriness you're exuding."
Cassie: "...I'm tired."
Bart: "You weren't tired before Kon said Cissie's hotter than I am."
Kon: "Quit it, Bart."
Kon: *hugs Cassie*
Cissie: "See, normally I'd be okay with that answer, as we just spent a day in a van and it's been a long one. But. Kon, you don't have to get defensive. We're concerned. That's all. We're trying to help."
Cassie: *is annoyed at being hugged, sorry Kon, she was happy he told Bart to stop tho*
Cassie: "There is no need for concern or defense. I am fine."
Bart: "Fine is the word people who aren't fine use to try to get people to leave them alone. So, okay, it's a long trip and I don't want us to be mad at each other the whole time, so I'm gonna go back to my tent and I'll see you guys tomorrow. No hard feelings."
Cissie: EPIC SIGH.
Kon: *frowns* "Bart, come back."
Bart: "You told me to quit it, Kon. I'm quitting. Seriously, giving up for the night and starting fresh tomorrow."
Cassie: *quietly to Tim* "You want Kon or Bart?"
Kon: "Don't go to bed mad, dude."
Cissie: MORE SIGHING. "There is this little thing called COMMUNICATING and I think we all need to try doing more of it."
Bart: "I'm not mad." *shrug* "Everyone still thinks I"m some stubborn kid. I'm the oldest one here, and I know when to walk away."
Tim: "Bart" *drops her hand and walks over to Bart* "Hey..."
Bart: "Dude, seriously. I am. Fine."
Bart: "Wait, not fine."
Kon: *takes Cassie's hand, keeping an arm over her shoulder*
Bart: "I'm not mad."
Cassie: *glares at the word FINE*
Cissie: ::Cissie is just froooooooowning::
Tim: "I understand what you're attempting to do. I understand walking away from a situation. But, leaving this unresolved will do little more than make tomorrow uncomfortable."
Bart: "Tomorrow's going to be uncomfortable either way, Tim."
Tim: "It doesn't have to be..."
Cassie: *to Kon* "I'm okay. I know you just want to protect me but you don't have to. And I was being silly."
Bart: "Sure it does. That's what we do, right? Kon and I tease each other, Cassie overreacts because she thinks she has to keep some kind of peace that isn't in jeopardy, Kon freaks out because she's freaking out, and you try to fix it."
Kon: "I'm not trying to protect you." *liiiies mostly* "But I love you and when you seem upset I want to make it better?"
Cissie: (so basically, Kon and Cassie are talking to one side, and Tim and Bart are off talking to another?)
Bart: (I guess?)
Tim: "Okay. So, that's what you're upset about. It's perfectly understandable."
Cissie: (just checking! Cissie continues to frown at the fire, then!)
Bart: "Don't placate me, Tim. Cassie should be the one talking to me right now, not you."
Tim: *arches a brow* "Is that honestly what you think I'm doing?"
Bart: "Sure. 'It's perfectly understandable.' Whatever, man. You have an opinion. You don't have to protect me from anything."
Cassie: "I know, Kon. But it's not necessary...I should apologize to Bart."
Tim: *looks down* "I apologize if that's how it sounded. I honestly was trying to see if my best friend was all right."
Bart: *sigh* "Even though I said I was all right several times? Why not take my word for it?"
Kon: "Probably. And then... maybe we should go to bed? I mean, it's late. And I was looking forward to sharing a tent with you guys. I just don't wanna end on a bad note."
Cassie: *nods*
Tim: "I guess I should have." *shrugs* "I shouldn't assume everyone hides what they're feeling. I know not everyone reacts like me. I'm sorry."
Cassie: *walks over to Bart* "I'm sorry."
Bart: "Don't worry about it Tim, I know why you were doing it and I appreciate it. But no one seems to want to listen to me, and that sucks." *looks at Cassie* "It's cool. Apology accepted."
Kon: *scootches over to Cissie* "You okay?"
Tim: *nods*
Cissie: ::makes a face:: "The word of the night seems to be fine. So I'm fine."
Cassie: "We were listening. Kon's quick to jump in. I wasn't upset about..." *has no idea how this started*
Bart: "About Kon teasing me? Yeah you were. You assumed the worst. Probably because of what happened before. I'm over it. That's an issue between you three, I don't want it to be an issue for all of us."
Kon: *rolls eyes* "Sorry. I dunno why everyone's so... tense and weird."
Cissie: ::sighs:: "Maybe we should all just apologize, hug each other and go to bed? Start over in the morning? It's been a long day."
Bart: "I am seriously okay. And I think we should all be okay, because whatever it is that's making us not okay now is minor. And I'm gonna be really upset if Steph and Cass are the only people getting action tonight, so I'm gonna take Cissie back to our tent and play her some music."
Kon: "...boy makes a good point."
Cissie: ::laughs::
Bart: "Damn straight." *grin*
Tim: *huffs out a breath/laugh*
Kon: *flies over, high fives*
Cassie: *looks more hurt than she should very briefly re: issues* "Okay." *half hug at Bart*
Bart: *ooooh no, cassie gets a big, full bart-hug*
Cassie: *yay?*
Bart: *yay! everyone loves bart hugs!*
Tim: *Tim backs away slowly*
Kon: *into a Kon hug! HUGS FOR ALL!*
Cissie: ::group hug!!::
Kon: *YAY!*
Bart: *YAY!*
Kon: *and no, Tim, this is not optional!*
Cassie: *YAY!*
Tim: *Hmm!*
Bart: "Kon, that's my ass."
Kon: "...WASN'T ME!" *moves hand*
