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...

"I imagine so," Autor says, nodding. "Not sleeping shouldn't prevent you from earning a badge. But I do hope you can sleep, Fry. Sleep is important."

"I'm not good at sleeping."

Autor rests his hands on the canvas. "Are you not? What prevents you from sleeping?"

Re: Pitching Camp

[fry_sandhu]

Shrug. "I usually sleep from ten until five or six."

Re: Pitching Camp

[herr_bookman]

"That's about seven or eight hours," Autor says, shaking his head. "That should be enough sleep for someone your age, I think. Right?"

"My dad says I'm supposed to sleep at least ten hours a night but I haven't done that since I was under one."

Re: Pitching Camp

[herr_bookman]

"Oh, well, he would know best, I suppose," Autor says, shrugging. "I wonder why you can't sleep that long, though. Maybe your body's just made that way."

"My mum doesn't sleep long either." Fry says. "But Dad says it's probably a sensory thing."

Re: Pitching Camp

[herr_bookman]

"Well, I hope you can get some sleep tonight at least," Autor says, shaking his head. "Sensory issues or no."

Re: Pitching Camp

[fry_sandhu]

"What do I do if I can't?" Fry asks.

Re: Pitching Camp

[herr_bookman]

"I'm not sure," Autor admits, adjusting his glasses. "I suppose just try it for tonight, and if you really can't sleep, then you can catch up on the weekend?"

Re: Pitching Camp

[fry_sandhu]

"I brought a book." Fry says.

Re: Pitching Camp

[herr_bookman]

"That was a good idea," Autor says, nodding. "You can always read a book. Let me know how you sleep tonight, if you can sleep at all."

Re: Pitching Camp

[fry_sandhu]

"What time should I tell you?"

Re: Pitching Camp

[herr_bookman]

"In the morning, so you have good data," Autor says, folding his arms. "How about eight o'clock?"

Re: Pitching Camp

[fry_sandhu]

"Dad said if I wake up at five I'm not to wake anyone else."

Re: Pitching Camp

[herr_bookman]

"Your dad is probably right to say so," Autor says, shaking his head. "That's what you have your book for, right?"

Re: Pitching Camp

[fry_sandhu]

"Yes." Fry says. "I hope I don't finish it."

Re: Pitching Camp

[herr_bookman]

"Well, good luck, Fry," Autor says, gesturing to him. "Let me know how it goes."
