Day Two: Campfire

[camphalf_blood]

[so you've had some time to get to know the camp. You've taken classes and hung out in your cabin. Now you get to come back around the campfire and discuss it all! Or you can fall back on tradition and tell scary stories.

Interested in a song? The Apollo cabin will lead you! Or not. Just remember that curfew is in place tonight. If you're actually planning to adhere to it]


[use your own sections for this post! Tag around and have fun!]

Ghost Stories

[schrodingersghost]

And that was when the ghost dog grabbed his squeaky toy, shrank to the size of a puppy, and vanished.

[Danny wiggles his fingers dramatically.]

Until the next time he lost it.

...You want to hear the one about the Lunch Lady who came back for revenge when someone changed the school menu?

[antichauffeur]

...is it as scary as that one?

[schrodingersghost]

Scarier.

[sexyhitchhiker]

[unimpressed teenager here]

No. Who the hell could possibly care that much about school lunch?

[schrodingersghost]

...You'd be surprised.

[imalwaysright]

... What?

That seems like a weird reason to want revenge.

[schrodingersghost]

Yeah, you'd think.

[jammin_with_ed]

[Edward is sitting cross legged on the ground in front of him, staring intently]

Edward does!

[schrodingersghost]

Awesome. [Danny grins.] See, the Lunch Lady was a ghost who really liked meat. And making sure that kids ate a balanced diet that included lots and lots of meat. And fish.

[prettyknives]

These stories are weird.

[schrodingersghost]

...They are?

Re: Ghost Stories

[ninjainviolet]

[Watch out, Danny, but a rather impish-looking Sheena is nearby, quietly uttering the word "Shadow". Soon, a rather ominous-looking figure appears behind the group around the fire, directly in front of Danny.]

[Raine's gonna kill me for this!]

Re: Ghost Stories

[schrodingersghost]

[....You know why you shouldn't do that poor innocent ghost-fighting kids who are already a little twitchy? Because they have ghostfighting reflexes. Almost in the same moment he sees it appear he is swiping his hand through the ground and throwing a handful of ectoplasm charged pebbles at it.]

Camp Songs

[compromisedarrow]

[Guess who's managed to procure a guitar and is sitting by the fire? There's a raven perched on his shoulder too.

Agent Barton is busy tuning the guitar. Any requests?]

[bornofwisdom]

( she looks up from gazing into the fire at the man tuning the guitar and smiles. she's never seen him before, so it's safe to assume: )

I'm guessing you don't know our regular camp songs, do you?

[eat_me_beat_me]

[Have an Apollo cabin mate, Clint. Nora sits down nearby and looks up at that raven.]

Making friends?

Re: Camp Songs

[modernholmes]

[Sitting against one of the logs with his arms crossed stubbornly and his mouth firmly shut.]

[stalkershiki]

[Shiki looks up in surprise when she hears the sound of a guitar, and then cocks her head when she sees who it is. She considers staying in place due to awkwardness for a moment, but then she gets over it and walks over.]

So... I know I only talked to you once, but... you didn't seem like the type to know guitar. I'm impressed!

[ruined_jaw]

[Jono's sitting on a log, both hands occupied by those fork things you use to roast weeines/marshmallows, and he's currently doing both with a combination of the fire, and his own fire breath. He notices Clint with the guitar, and rather than speak up about his own musical experiences, he decides to be a smartass instead.]

Know "Stairway to Heaven"?

[He smirks.]

The less social area of the fire

[dontpatr0nizeme]

[Washington wasn't here for any songs or stories. He was just out relaxing. Feel free to pester him or join him at the quieter activities... Like watching the fire and reflecting.]

[fistfullofmagic]

[Dhaos is pleased that he found a loophole in the "must remain close to the lake" thing water nymphs have going by filling a bucket with lake water and carrying it around with him. Don't mind him Wash, he's just gonna sit by the fire and warm up a bit.]

[i_got_this]

[South can't help a shiver at the sight of him, her shoulder dully throbbing. She crosses her arms and considers walking the other way, but with the way they were cabin mates she figured she wouldn't be able to avoid him forever.]

You're staring at that fire pretty hard. Trying to burn it to death with your eyes or something?

[stalkershiki]

[Normally, Shiki's not the type to hide herself away and bottle her feelings away.

And she's been really good about not obsessing over her closest friends all leaving within the span of a few months. She's managed to deal with it relatively well, in fact!

But she's spent all day working with horses, and she just can't help but think about Equius, and where he is now, and what he would think of everything that's happened.

So she's gonna spend a little bit of time at the beginning of the campfire being very quiet and contemplative and staring-into-the-flames-y.]

SONG #1 - BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY

[compromisedarrow]

[For those wanting to sing along, the chords of a particular song start filtering across the campfire.

Do you stick true to the lyrics, make your own up? Either way, Clint Barton is sat beside the fire, strumming and singing the opening to this iconic song on a guitar. Join in!]

((OOC: Threadjacking is highly encouraged. He does encores, too.))

[bornofwisdom]

( ugh, this is embarrassing. why did she suggest this song again? blushing, she clears her throat as he starts to play and closing her eyes to keep from embarrassing herself too much more, she begins to sing: )

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide,
No escape from reality...
