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

"So, are you gonna start the campfire songs?" Ellie smirked when she spotted Alex. She took a seat on a nearby log.

"I'm getting warmed up," he said, making a show of warming his hands with the fire. "Soon, soon. We'll join hands and get the party going."

[awesomebigsis]

"Ooh, a party," Ellie grinned, staring at the fire. "I don't think I have ever started a campfire in my life."

[fratboybitch]

"I have." Well, he'd set things on fire before. "Little lighter, something flammable and you have a campfire."

He paused.

"Or you have a fire."

Well, she'd missed the picnic, but she could still make an effort to be social. Agnes walked over to the main campfire and waved at all the new people sitting there. "Hello."

[fratboybitch]

Jesus, there were a lot of people here. "Hey." She hadn't bounced at him, at least.

[finding_x_dream]

"You seem overwhelmed," Agnes told him. "Don't worry; the island grows on you."

[fratboybitch]

"I seem overwhelmed?" he repeated. "How?"

Valentine had considered just camping out in alcove for a while with her desk...no, laptop...for a while, but realized that it wasn't exactly in the spirit of things, was it? A crowd was gathering at the center of the camp, and so she decided maybe she'd go and check it out, even if she didn't really talk much.

And, if anything, she could always just watch the fire.

[fratboybitch]

Alex looked up at the newest arrival, thankful that she wasn't staring or bouncing. So, she got a nod. See, he could be polite.

Valentine nodded back a little, then tilted her head. She held up a finger. "Okay," she said, "I know I met you. I remember you from the bus. But after that, I draw a blank."

[fratboybitch]

"That your way of asking my name?" he wondered. "Or just random statements of fact?"

For Eleanor, the past few days had been a whirlwind; arriving to school, the picnic, unpacking, re-packing (which left her wondering about the sanity of the school officials, really) and then class already.

The cabins weren't unpleasant, but not quite what she'd been hoping for either. She much rather preferred the dormitories. But the large campfire was friendly and she took a seat on a log nearby, already feeling more at ease.

Hardly a surprise that fire was calming to a Fire Mage.

She nodded in polite greeting to the others already there.

[fratboybitch]

And yet more people. At least most of them were girls. He could do with the nice view.

So, he nodded back. No offering anything up to people he didn't know.

[heartflames]

"Good evening. Are you a new student as well?"

[fratboybitch]

"Last I checked," he said, nodding. "You too?"

If Morgana had been given a roommate, she hadn't yet arrived, and while dressing herself had taken some getting used to, she'd managed it well enough, and found that she quite liked the dorm. The cabins, however, were an entirely different story. As many people as there were in the castle at home at any given time, her room had always given her a sense of privacy. Her alcove did no such thing here, and it wasn't long before Morgana was headed back outside into the fresh air.

Noticing the fire, she went over and smiled at the gentleman sitting there. "Good evening," she said.

[fratboybitch]

Girls were apparently attracted to him.

Or his campfire.

He preferred the first one.

"Hey," he said, nodding. "Evening to you too."

[nevertobequeen]

Morgana took the nod as invitation enough to carefully find a spot to sit down. "You didn't want to spend the evening getting acquainted with your cabinmates?" she asked.

[fratboybitch]

"I got a few weeks to do that, don't I?" he asked, shrugging. "Figured they could wait."
