"Hey," Dawn greeted, walking down to the campfire and loaded down with bags. Three--one for clothes, one for cabin living essentials, and one for books. "Are we it?"

[lovelylana]

"So far," Lana said, standing up with a smile. "Can I give you a hand?"

[lilpunkinbelly]

"This one is the lightest," Dawn offered the clothes bag to Lana, "and thanks. It was kind of awkward getting down here. The big strong Sam-type was elsewhere."

[lovelylana]

Lana took the bag and followed her into the cabin. "I miss having a big strong type around. And not just for times like this," she added with a smile.

Bridge, luckily enough, has marshmallows with him as he flops down in a seat by the fire. Because a campfire without marshmallows is just crazy talk.

"People!"

[lovelylana]

"Bridge-people!" Lana said with a smile. "Oooh! Are those marshmallows? I will love you forever if they are. In a purely platonic way, of course."

[bridge_carson]

"They are indeed," Bridge nods. "And for sharing, of course," he adds with a grin.

[lovelylana]

"Oh, I owe you," Lana said happily. "I was too lazy to walk down to the village again tonight."

Isabel had gotten her stuff mostly arranged in her alcove before the lure of the campfire called her out.

She took a seat next to the fire and smiled. "It's amazing how much I've missed this."

[lovelylana]

"I'm not a big fan of the cabins, myself," Lana admitted, "but the campfires I love."

[izzyalienqueen]

"Oh come on. What's not to love about communal living?" Isabel asked cheerfully. "The noise, the lack of privacy, the forced togetherness? Isn't it great?"

A pause.

"But you're right. The campfires make are awesome."

[lovelylana]

"Exactly," Lana said with a grin. "Lovely fire, night stars, marshmallows, good company... They're wonderful."

Shawn wandered out of the super senior cabin, settling near the edge of the fire.

"Evening," he greeted as he sat.

[lovelylana]

"Hey," Lana said with a soft, almost shy smile. "How are you doing?"

[justmisplaced]

"Not so bad," Shawn replied, shooting her a smile. "I got a few weeks to hang around doin' not to much. Sounds pretty good to me."

"You?"

[lovelylana]

"I'm doing well. Went exploring on Santorini the other day with Ino." She smiled at the memory. "I want to go back again."

It had taken Meg a good part of the afternoon to unpack her crap in the cabin. She probably shouldn't have attempted to take her whole room with her. She was never good at the outdoorsy thing.

She flopped down in front of the campfire. "Well this is kinda nice."

[lovelylana]

"Hey Meg," Lana said with a smile. "Yeah, I think it's the one realy redeeming feature about living in the cabins."

[goodgirlmeg]

"Looks like I'll be spending a lot of time in front of the campfire then," she said. "But if one bug gets on me I'm probably going to flail around screaming. Just a warning."

[lovelylana]

Lana laughed. "Bug spray is our friend," she said solemnly.
