Main Campfire [Monday evening]

[justwantsquiet]

Sookie loved summer. And while it wasn't really summer yet, it was close enough

Fire. Fire usually meant food and company. Karla was definitely in the mood for both.

"Kiss kiss," she called, strolling up. "Ooooh, sausages! Please tell me they're for sharing."

[justwantsquiet]

"All for me," Sookie teased, gesturing expansively to the food. "I'm vowing to eat only things on sticks forever, and in large quantities."

"Soooooooookie!" Karla gave her very large puppy eyes. "I might starve to death and die if I don't eat something soon. I'm a Healer. I know how close to death I am."

She raised her wrist to her forehead and tried to look suitably tragic.

[justwantsquiet]

"You do look close to the brink of death," Sookie agreed thoughtfully. "All right. Fine. I'll share. But only because you look so very emaciated and I don't want that on my hands."

'Emaciated' had been a word of the day the other day. She was proud to have found a use for it.

"Hi! The marshmallows are for sharing," Sookie assured her, holding out the bag.

[justwantsquiet]

"I try," Sookie said, preening a bit. "It's just not summer if there aren't marshmallows, and I'm trying to make it feel more summery."

Alice didn't like the whole brightness part of the place, what with that whole sparkling thing, but luckily it'd seemed a lot more toned down here. She didn't get it and wasn't going to argue.

Evenings were her favorite time, though, when it was dark enough that there wasn't any danger of the sparkling going on -- because she didn't feel like explaining it most of the time -- but it wasn't so dark that it was oppressive.

"Hi," she greeted cheerfully, sitting on a log by the main campfire.

[justwantsquiet]

"Hi!" Sookie said brightly, smiling at the girl she didn't recognize. "Marshmallow?"

[aliceseesthings]

"No, I'm Alice," she joked with an easy smile. "But no, thank you, I'll pass on the marshmallow."

Only because she had to.

"Ha. I'm Sookie," she said, just as easily. "Cute. Hotdog, then? Or are you just here to enjoy the fire?"

K-Mart liked the campfire. They, oddly enough, reminded her of eating dinner back home, everyone gathered around in odd little groups and eating as quickly as they could.

She snagged a stick and a hot dog and settled in.

[flowering_mind]

"Hiii," Ino chirped cheerfully. "How're you?"

No, it didn't really matter to her that she didn't know this person.

[likethestore]

Pfft, details.

"I'm good," K-Mart said, getting her hot dog on the stick to where it wouldn't fall off as soon as it got near the fire. That'd just piss her off. "How about you?"

[flowering_mind]

"Tired!" she said lightly. "Worked all day, you know? So this is nice and relaxing."

Leda emerged from the darkness with a bottle of something fizzy and sweet for sharing.

"I want you all to know that I resisted the urge to stalk through the woods and scare you."

Partly this was due to the conviction that if she attempted that, not only would she fail, but then something would come up out of the darkness behind her and...yeah.

[justwantsquiet]

"...thanks?" Sookie offered, raising an eyebrow. Because honestly, it was pretty hard to sneak up on Sookie. Unless you were a vampire.

[anarchist_queen]

"You're welcome." She smiled to show it was all in good fun. "I'm the soul of generosity. Witness my contribution to the party. Fizzy sweet goodness."

[justwantsquiet]

"Like Coke?" she asked curiously.
