Main Campfire, Monday Evening

[fratboybitch]

Since his first class was tomorrow, Alex decided to venture out of his cabins (seriously, CABINS) to the main campfire. He almost expected some counselor to already be there, guitar in hand, asking him to sing Kumbaya. Mercifully, the main campfire was devoid of anything but a few logs and the actual fire

Fire was good.

Fiona's day had been a mix of good and bad, a first day among first days. Her first class had been very instructional, her time at the salle had been... interesting. Then there'd been shopping.

Feeling a little like an overstimulated lab rat, she settled on one of the logs and wrapped her arms around herself to just watch the flames and digest. There was a glance at the other person there, but mostly just to let him know she knew he was there.

Alex could do cursory glances. He was a pro at them. So, he glanced over at Fiona before looking away and picking up the pack of cigarettes and opening them.

He still wasn't singing Kumbaya.

She looked at the cigarettes for a moment before slightly changing her position on the logs.

"Upwind," was all she said.

[fratboybitch]

"Hmm?" He'd heard her, he just wasn't going to listen. "What was that?"

Ben had finished doing a circuit of the camp--old habits died hard--and he gave a small nod to the unfamiliar face at the campfire.

"Hello."

[fratboybitch]

This one looked like he was twelve. No way he was a counselor. "Hey." Unless he had dwarfism or something. Still. "You a counselor?"

Might as well just ask.

[momslilassassin]

"No," Ben said, looking a little confused. "What's a counselor?"

[fratboybitch]

"Never mind," Alex said, glancing up at Ben. "You're not, that's all I needed. You look about ten anyway."

First night down in the cabins, and strangely enough, Angela was not feeling the need to just hang around her own alcove. She hadn't even unpacked and it was... kind of empty feeling.

So, people. Main campfire generally meant people. She offered a grin at the guy already there, and a pretty upbeat, "Evening," as she wandered over.

[fratboybitch]

He could muster a grin for a pretty girl, no problem. "Hey. Did I send a smoke signal or something?"

[flashesforinfo]

"What can I say? We have a sixth sense for people around here," she said easily. "Especially new people."

[fratboybitch]

"I don't know if that's good for me or bad for me," Alex said, leaning back. "With you, I'll go with good for me."

Penelope was rather excited by the prospect of a campfire, so of course the first evening she was there, she ventured towards the main one with a bag of marshmallows tucked under her arm, and in her hand a stick.

Seeing people already there, she lowered her head and settled herself on one of the logs where she began to ready a marshmallow to roast.

[fratboybitch]

Another quiet one. This place seemed to rock from extremely happy to extremely quiet. Whatever.

Alex glanced over, watched her for a moment before turning his attention back to the fire.

For her part, she was trying not to stare at the new kid. She never knew how people were going to take her. She didn't think she would put back on her scarf to appease anyone, however.

Peeking over at him, she noted his attention was on the fire. Did she seem rude? She hoped not.

"Oh no!" Her marshmallow was on fire. Standing, Penelope blew and blew and then flung it off her stick where it plopped into the fire, only to burn to ashes. Oops.

Sitting back down, she began to prepare another one.

[fratboybitch]

"That was a little dumb," Alex noted honestly. "Thanks for not throwing it at me."

"Carev, didn't think they could pry you outta the dorms," Griff said, deciding to engage his roommate and not just walk away like a smarter man might do.

[fratboybitch]

"Do you need me to tattoo my last name on your ass?" Alex asked, not even glancing up.

[youcantfollow]

Griff snapped his fingers. "It's gotta be one of two ways, I just can't seem to ever pick the right one. Oops?"

[fratboybitch]

"Just proves you need an education more than I do," Alex replied. "Good thing you're here, right?"
