Precocious Ponies campfire, early Saturday morning

[vkandis_son]

Karal was minus his menagerie this morning. Evey and Altra were off in the preserve, Trenor was in the stable where he belonged, and Vashti was sleeping inside

"I had to step over bugs this morning on my way out of my cabin," Gavin said by way of greeting. "And they started following me!"

"You didn't call the spiders?" Gavin asked. "Maybe even unintentionally?"

[vkandis_son]

Karal shook his head vigorously. "I don't even like spiders," he said, wrinkling his nose. "They're useful, especially in the stables, but that doesn't mean I want them anywhere near me!"

"Well..." Gavin paused. "I guess I can believe you."

[vkandis_son]

"Thank you," he said, sighing in relief. And he was running through everything he'd said recently, just in case he had inadvertently mentioned spiders. "I hope they're Fandom oddness and not actual wildlife. I don't want to live on an island that has spiders of doom."

"I'm sure there's some bug spray around here we can use," Gavin said thoughtfully.

[vkandis_son]

"Bug spray?" he asked, not having actually encountered bug spray before. "That sounds revolting."

[sixstandingby]

"You've never heard of it?" Gavin asked.

[vkandis_son]

"No, and I truly hope it's not what it sounds like." He made another face. "Though if it is, it would probably be good for attracting spiders to somewhere away from us."

"It kills bugs," Gavin said. "It's helpful!"

[vkandis_son]

"Oh! Oh, that's much better. I was imagining a spray made from bugs," he admitted sheepishly. "I think we should get some of that. I think we should get quite a lot of that. As soon as we can."

[sixstandingby]

"It's supposed to be preventative," he explained. "I don't know how but it supposed to keep them off of you."

[vkandis_son]

"If they're dead, they can't bother us." He paused, thought about the band in Caritas, and the general strangeness of Fandom, and added, "Umm, probably."

[sixstandingby]

"Never say never," Gavin said and shuddered. "Ew, dead bugs attacking."

[vkandis_son]

"if it happens it's not my fault!" he squeaked.

[sixstandingby]

"I wasn't gonna blame you!" Gavin exclaimed. "Now I am though!"
