[Iroh sits in front of a campfire. He's roasting marshmellows and, of course, heating a pot of tea.]

I believe it is customary at camps to make "s'mores" and to tell campfire stories. I hope you all will join me in this fine tradition!

[pause, then laughs] Well, not all of you - I don't think I could fit the entire City in my back yard!

S'mores? Sweet.

[ One adorably cursed Toph, coming up. ]

[o_tea_p]

They are, aren't they?

[Awww, Iroh is looking forward to adorably cursed! Toph.]

[seesbydoing]

Well, yeah! I'll be over in a little while.

[ And true to her word, she shows up in a Camp Anawanna t-shirt that falls to her scabby knees. Her fingers are stained with paint (who signed the blind girl up for painting?) and there's dirt on the back of her neck, but she seems pretty pleased by life. ]

Sounds better than being cooped up in a cabin.

[o_tea_p]

Indeed! Just be careful not to get caught.

[child_radical]

I'm not worried. Most of the counselors are pretty inept.

[drizzlinginside]

... S'mores? What are those, General Iroh?

[o_tea_p]

One of the campers told me about them! They are these things called graham crackers, with chocolate, and a toasted fluffy thing called a "marshmellow". Very sticky, but quite tasty!

[drizzlinginside]

I think I've seen some of those ingredients in the market here, but I didn't know that if you put them together, it's called that.

[o_tea_p]

Evidently, it's because after you have one, you always want s'more!

[laughs at the pun]

[immortaltwat]

Hey, need any help with that?

[In other words, someone to eat your s'mores and tell inappropriate stories to the kids. He might be a counsellor-in-training/parolee now, but apart from that he hasn't changed much.]

[Iroh beams at the new arrival]

I think I'm good, but you're welcome to grab a stick and toast one of your own!

[immortaltwat]

[Which is exactly what Nathan meant, anyway. He doesn't need any further prompting to grab a stick and some marshmallows.]

Thanks, man. So, are you a counsellor, or what? I don't think I've seen you about yet.

[derse_princess]

I must admit, I would be interested to see what stories others consider to be appropriate for camp.

[And in terrorising everyone with tales of the Horrorterrors]

[o_tea_p]

There is nothing quite like a good story around a cozy campfire at night. I hope you will join us!

[derse_princess]

I may find myself inclined towards attending.
