Action post 4: Campfire shenanigans.

[Snufkin doesn't have much to go by...there are trees around here, and plenty of grass, but grass smokes when its burned unless it's dry. Nevertheless, it produces a nice, smoky smell, so he gathers as much of it up as he can ( Read more... )

spark of familiarity, action post, mayfield

[Hey.

Hey.

He recognizes you from a cartoon from home.

Kind of. He just can't place the name right off the top of his head.

So what does he do? He stares.]

[Not really put off by the staring. He's used to quiet or timid folk. It takes people of all colors in Moominvalley.]

Oh, hello. You're free to join me if you like.

[He doesn't doubt that the whole campfire thing is a bit inconspicuous.]

I'll never understand the fascination of setting the lawn on fire.

[There's a tone of happiness in it, at least. He's just glad to be able to see things properly.]

Well, I need to make a campfire with something, don't I?
What's your name? I'm Snufkin.

[ John doesn't know how he's supposed to navigate around Mayfield. He can barely remember where Snufkin said his house was, and even if he could remember, he's got a feeling it wouldn't help him through the maze-like town anyway ( ... )

[Snufkin looks over when he sees John approaching, smiling and offering him a pillow he brought from inside.]

Hello.
Look's like you had a bit of trouble getting here, huh?
I can't really blame you, the whole town looks the same.

meant to reply to this last night but well SHENANIGANS HAPPENED realhotinhell July 12 2010, 23:21:36 UTC

[ John nodded his companion's way, then took a seat. ]

Town ain't a big fan of any wood that ain't white, I can see.
Place sure is bigger'n what I'm used to.

[ For a second, John looks at the fire Snufkin's constructed for himself - are those clothes burning in there? ] So how'd you get them drones outta the house, anyway?

Aww man, what happened? naturalanarchy July 13 2010, 00:56:37 UTC

Yes, that's what it looks like.

[He sighs slightly.]

It's much too big, compared to the living space I'm used to.

[He smiles, almost a smug smile.]

Well, this morning I got up early and went out to the yard to dig up some insects. I cleaned them off and cooked them inside. I usually fish when I travel, but if I'm hungry and there's no rivers around, I've eaten insects before, so it's not really a problem for me.

So, while they were cooking, I took a pan and a metal spoon and woke the drone wife up by clanging on it really loudly. When she saw the lawn and the insects, she got out of there with the kids fast. They were gone within the hour.

Most fun I've had all week.
