Camping

[daringyoungman]

Dick and Cat wanted to go camping. Dick asked Bonnie. Dick asked around, then somehow the word got out and it was a CAMPING TRIP.

Which he's okay with, really. He doesn't get much chance to hang around with other kids.

They pick a spot a good distance from the bar, near enough to the lake that washing and swimming can happen, not so close to the forest that demon bunnies are a severe threat, and set about pitching a camp for the weekend, or whenever they all get bored...

There's never anything like silence in London. Even in the House of Arch.

"...would you feel better if there were?"

He can't make them. But maybe somebody can.

"Yeah, but it's not possible," she shakes her head. "It's the middle of the night, and there's no wardsmiths around and anyway there's too many of us and nothing permanent to put the wards on."

She has thought about this.

"I'll be fine." Though she may be leaning against him a bit.

Re: After hours

[street_sparrow]

He lets her lean all she wants.

"Well, two pairs of ears are better than one. We'll hear if anything gets close."

"We make those kinds of meals at home sometimes, too," grins the girl. "Charlie calls 'em 'throw-together stews,' because we throw together whatever we've got available."

Rae nods, quiet.

"It's probably stupid to worry, anyway," she says, after a while, feeling guilty for keeping Gavroche up. "Milliways is pretty safe, right?"

Re: After hours

[street_sparrow]

"Pretty safe. But it's okay to be worried", he says gently. "I'll stay here with you as long as you want."

There's room for two smallish people to sleep there.

Re: After hours

[sunbaked_baker]

She manages a small smile. "Thank you."

"It was a fun day, though, wasn't it? Playing games and singing, and cooking over the fire?" she says, with a yawn.

Re: After hours

[street_sparrow]

Gavroche wraps his arms around her, aiming for a secure feeling.

"It was a really fun day", he agrees.

Autor beams at her, holding up his skewer--which has a charred marshmallow on it. "You're welcome to make a few if you like," he says, offering her another skewer.

Re: Campfire's burning

[herr_bookman]

So is Autor's. "Not having much luck with these, I see," he remarks, blowing out his marshmallow. "Me neither."

Re: Campfire's burning

[street_sparrow]

"They're still edible", he says, biting through the charred layer. "...sort of."

Re: Campfire's burning

[herr_bookman]

"Sort of," Autor agrees, nibbling on his own blackened sugar. "How was your Cubefall, Gavroche?"

Re: Campfire's burning

[street_sparrow]

"Pretty good. I only changed for the one day, and I went with the fox."

Re: Campfire's burning

[isawit]

"I think I can manage a few," she says slyly, accepting the skewer. "I'm cat."

She's not sure if she's meet him before but she does recognize him.

Re: Patrol 2

[isawit]

"What gave it away?" She asks all fake panic.

Re: After hours

[isawit]

"It's too quiet and I'm too used to the sounds of the city. Gotham never stops making noise."

[OOC: Hand wave she mentioned Gotham in her ghost story? If Dick didn't already peg her from her accent.]

Re: Campfire's burning

[herr_bookman]

"Did you! How was it?" Autor asks, affixing another marshmallow to his skewer.

Re: Campfire's burning

[herr_bookman]

"I'm Autor," he says, offering her the bag of marshmallows next. "We've met before but I don't think we exchanged names. Do you know how to roast marshmallows? I sure don't."

Re: Campfire's burning

[street_sparrow]

"Lots of fun." He grins. "Two of my friends were a phoenix and a - pterodactyl, I think, but he still had his head."

Re: Campfire's burning

[herr_bookman]

"Wait, he still had his head?" Autor asks, furrowing his brow. "How does that even work? I bet he looked creepy."

Re: Campfire's burning

[street_sparrow]

"It was where its head should've been, I think. And it did look a bit creepy, but I think he wanted to still be able to talk."

Re: Patrol 2

[sunbaked_baker]

Rae chuckles, grinning. "Well, you didn't look like a 'Tyler' - I suppose you could've been a 'Cy.' Lucky guess."

"I'm Rae."

Fry jumps.

"Yes."

He's not a stranger to insomnia. But this is quite different.

Re: Pitching Camp

[fry_sandhu]

"That's stupid." Fry says. "If you don't know how to do it you should ask or go and read some instructions so it doesn't fall on us."

He's only seen it done once, and even he knows you don't bang the pegs in until the tent is being held upright.

Re: Pitching Camp

[herr_bookman]

"All right," Autor says, thoroughly chastened. "I'll go do that. You wouldn't happen to know how to put a tent up, would you? I'll find some instructions if not."
