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...

"Like that." He beams. "And we can do potatoes as well."

"I've watched. The pegs go in last." Fry says. "You have to lay out the canvas first without standing on it. Then you lay the poles on it, then two tall people pull the poles up and hold them while the others put the pegs in."

"Oh, yeah."

Dick points, then leads the way over to the campfire.

"Does this pot holder count? I used it to make stew last night."

"Well, we'll lay the canvas out flat and put the poles in, but we'll have to find someone else to hold the poles with me," Autor says, setting his hammer and pegs down. He crosses to the canvas and starts spreading it out. "Here, you grab that end and we can spread it out."

"I know, right?"

He says it almost immediately, before he can consider that Wayne Manor isn't in the city-proper and it's actually quite quiet. He's more familiar with the city at night.

"It's too dark without the street lights too."

Fry tries, but the canvas is quite heavy, so it takes him a little while.

"Oh, wow," Autor says, shaking his head. "That's impressive that he was able to keep his head during the transformation. But lucky, too, if he wanted to be able to talk. At least it was only for three days. So you were only a fox for one day?"

Re: Activities

[is_the_motion]

"Yep, that'll count nicely. So long as it didn't fall onto the fire."

Re: Campfire's burning

[street_sparrow]

Gavroche nods. "I wanted to be able to talk as well, so I put it off to the last day to change."

Re: Campfire's burning

[herr_bookman]

"Good thinking," Autor says, nodding. He lights his second marshmallow on fire on accident, and blows it out with a sigh. "I don't suppose you know how to roast these. I sure don't."

Re: Pitching Camp

[fry_sandhu]

Fry has been measuring the pegs exactly but isn't strong enough to do any of the other bits.

Re: Pitching Camp

[herr_bookman]

"I'm sorry, Fry," Autor says, lifting the canvas a little more easily. "Is it too heavy for you?"

Re: Campfire's burning

[street_sparrow]

"I've only done it a few times. I'd guess it's about putting them in the right place so they get enough heat, but not in the fire?"

Re: Pitching Camp

[fry_sandhu]

"It's hard." Fry says.

"I'm sorry I was mean."

Re: Activities

[daringyoungman]

Dick snorts. "Nah, it didn't."

Re: Pitching Camp

[herr_bookman]

"Don't worry about it," Autor says, waving that off. He straightens his side of the canvas, and then crosses around to help Fry with his. "We're all a little mean sometimes."

Re: Campfire's burning

[herr_bookman]

"Huh, possibly," Autor says, thrusting his skewer near the fire again after affixing another marshmallow. "I can't make heads or tails of it. Did your friends get cake from Bar as well?"

Re: Campfire's burning

[street_sparrow]

"They did", he says with a nod. "At least, the ones I've run into since did. Maybe it was just because all the dead from that day are here now."

Re: Campfire's burning

"I know what chocolate is." That was one of the first foods she'd tried in this place. "Maybe after having this."

She put the hotdog into the fire, watching it cook.

Re: Activities

[is_the_motion]

"Have all the kids helped set up and take part?"

Re: Campfire's burning

[herr_bookman]

"I'm Autor, by the way," he says, gesturing with his skewer. "What's your name?"

Re: Activities

[like_quicksilver]

"Yes." She looked up from her work. The raft she was building was a fair sized one. "I need to get the boards steady enough to be tied, and that takes two people."

Re: Pitching Camp

[fry_sandhu]

"It's scary that it might fall on me when I sleep."

Re: Pitching Camp

[herr_bookman]

"If we put it up correctly, it won't fall," Autor says, maneuvering the poles into place. "Don't worry, Fry. Tents can be very stable."

Re: Pitching Camp

[fry_sandhu]

"If I can't sleep do I still get my badge?"
