Main Campfire; Tuesday Evening [ 07/07 ].

[stocksgrrl]

Turtle was thinking about going out to do her campfire jumping to meet new people and catch up with old people alive, but decided she'd take the hopping a little further and just go and get a good one going at the main campfire. She even took a trip down to the store so she had plenty of materials for s'mores, hot dogs, and there was even a cooler

Elle had already had more than her share of s'mores in the past couple days, and for a girl who hadn't had one since well before her ninth birthday? That was really saying something.

She found a log and plopped down in front of it, leaning back with a happy grin. "Hey, Turtle."

[stocksgrrl]

Turtle smiled back. "Hey," don't say Not-Veronica, "Elle, right? There's like fifty of you in this group, I swear. S'more? Hot dog? Ice cold carbonated beverage?"

[tasenburn]

"Yep, Elle," she said, mentally grinning that someone else besides Other Elle remembered her name. "And yeah, apparently our decade was short on imagination in naming or something."

And then she grinned visibly. "Anything but a s'more, please."

[stocksgrrl]

Turtle let out a mock gasp. "What? No s'mores? You do realize that this is a campfire, don't you, Elle?"

[awalkingfelony]

"Turtle! Hi!" Elle yelled and waved from a good many feet away, walking slowly over towards the main campfire in her baby pink three inch wedges. She was carrying a blue blanket and held it in front of her, against her short boob hugging tank. Her midriff was bare and wrapped around her small waist was a cute, rhinestone necklace, its excess bouncing against her designer jean clad thigh.

"How are you?" she asked when near, settling her blanket over a log so she could sit carefully down.

[stocksgrrl]

"Hey," don't say Crazy Pink Elle, "Elle!" Turtle greeted the other girl and tried to keep her smile down as she patiently waited for her to get to the campfire in those shoes. "I'm doing really well, thanks. You? Settling in okay?"

[awalkingfelony]

"I am settling, I suppose," she replied, iffy, but grinned wide. "I see you're getting ready to cook or roast I guess it is, here by the fire? Camping life is like, something I'm totally trying to get used to. Alex said I need flannel. Does Turtle and Canary sell flannel?"

[stocksgrrl]

"Of course we do," Turtle said with a grin. "We sell almost everything, Elle. You'll have to stop by and get some. I think we might even have some in pink. In the meantime, might I offer you a s'more? A hot dog? Refreshing carbonated beverage?"

"Good evening, Turtle-san," Hinata said, setting Yei down on the grass where the cat promptly rolled over and then darted up to bat at a bit of fluff.

[tasenburn]

"Kitty!"

What? Elle had never had a pet before!

[shyest_eyes]

Hinata laughed softly, and smiled at the other girl. "Her n-name is Yei," she said. "She's very friendly if you want to pet her."

[tasenburn]

"That's a pretty name," Elle said, cautiously holding out a hand to the cat. "Does it mean something?"

Main campfire always seemed to have people around it, and Rose headed that way after spending some time in the Camp Gym. Something about a question asking who she'd fight made her really want to fight.

"Hey everyone," she said, finding a seat around the fire and immediately leaning in to poke at it. "Who made the fire?"

It was always good to know these things in case she needed one started.

[stocksgrrl]

Turtle lifted her hand. "That'd be me," she said with a smile. "Rose, right? Help yourself to some snacks and drinks, too, there's plenty."

[guardianborn]

"You're a talented woman, Turtle," Rose said lightly. She paused. "Unless you have fire starting superpowers which - I suppose still counts as talented."

[stocksgrrl]

Turtle grinned a little. "No super-powers here," she said, holding out her hands. "Just good old fashioned know-how. I'm about as average as they come when things like that are involved. I even tried to take a few magic classes and failed miserably to do anything. Which can be hard when you're fourteen and want to be a witch."

Ohhh, back in the daaay.

Dinah came in after the Reserves meeting and after stopping off at her cabin, headed to the main campfire. "Hey, Turtle. Oooo, my first s'more of this term."

[stocksgrrl]

"You slacker!" Turtle accused with a chuckle, and shoved the bag of marshmallows Dinah's way. "Quick, make one before someone else gets the chance to try to steal the glory of providing your first s'more of the term from me!"

She would have phrased it as s'mores virginity, but that could get a little awkward, she felt.

[blondecanary]

Very awkward. Dinah glomped the bag to herself, sending a paranoid, greedy look around the campfire, and popped one in her mouth before fishing out three to put onto a stick. "I know, how is this even possible?" she asked after she swallowed the one in her mouth, holding her stick closer to the flames. "It's sugar. I should've been on it from night one! But at least your glory remains undiminished." She grinned. "Lotsa newbies already hunh?"

[stocksgrrl]

"It's only the second official day of camp," Turtle offered, "it could be worse. And, yeah, it was fun meeting them all on Friday. It seems like a really great group!"
