awashlogs | [OPEN] F is for fire that burns down the whole town

WHO: Vriska, Kenny, and YOU!
WHAT: Bored annoyed children decided that fire was the answer to their boredom. By which I mean: they've built a bonfire by the well. Anyone and everyone is free to join them.
WHEN: Let's say 3/19!
WHERE: The well, though you're free to wander around, of course.
WARNINGS: Foul-mouthed children, really.

I.
[ There is a stack of wood by the well, crudely chopped.

When did that get there?? That's weird. Who would go around just putting poorly chopped wood by the well for some reason? Speaking of, the "wood" is a real hack job, all split branches and twigs and small logs. It's almost like some kids put all this here or something.

Actually some kids did put this all here. Because here's Vriska and Kenny walking up with more wood. ]

Hey! We're gonna start a bonfire. Wanna help us?

[Fortunately for those around, Kenny's hood is down.]

It'll be cool! The more wood we get, the bigger the fire. Who doesn't like fire?

II.
[ The fire is going! It is a big roaring warm bonfire. It's, uh, gray, so the light of it is not quite as bracing as it could be, but it is undeniably providing heat and light, so there's that, at least.

Come by and get warm, or roast something over the fire, provided you found something, uh, roastable. There's probably a few fish, their tails sticking out of the well's bucket, which seems to have been repurposed as a fish holding device. At the very least, there's a few sticks set aside for roasting!

Meanwhile, Vriska and Kenny don't look completely satisfied. ]

Man. We need more stuff to burn. Or cook. Or both.

I saw a store. Let's go see what we can find.

( ooc: vriska is blue, kenny is black! anyway, this is an open mingle log, so come talk to the kids or just hang out! feel free to make your own prompts or work off the ones provided. )

Oh, I guess. I never really thought about it? [ that kind of time with bro would have been terrifying, and dave himself has zero interest in the great outdoors. ] But there you go. Way to hunt without huntin'.

It's a start. [A shrug.] You can come if you want. I don't know how you feel about sitting around outside for a while. [The teasing grin is enough for John to say he knows exactly how Dave feels about it.]

[ even less thrilled while fighting off a cold. he makes a face. ]

Yeah, if you want. Though I am thinking I might turn in for the night soon, so you'll have to make fishin' plans without me and inform me of my impending doom later?

[A raise of an eyebrow.] It's kind of early isn't it? [...] Are you okay?

[Dave's. Being weird, kind of, but he doesn't know enough to keep pushing or not so...questions.]

Why wouldn't I be? [ besides the part where he is very assuredly ill but whatever ] Can't stay out too late, I got a curfew, you know how it is.

That--huh? [Dave what the fuck.] I mean not really but okay? When have you ever had a curfew? Or a bedtime? Or normal hours?

I can absolutely keep normal hours if I want to??? Can't disappoint my housemates, you know.

[ THEY DON'T EXIST...BUT WHATEVER... ]

Also it's been a long day. Lots of starin' into fires and squinting at terrible internet forums, I'm surprised I can even lift my arms at all.

...[He doesn't believe that but okay. There's a slight grin anyway, albeit forced.] Okay. Sure. I guess that makes sense. Tomorrow morning then?

You want to do somethin'? [ startled but not opposed. maybe he will have kicked the cold by then (probably not but fuck it he can pretend for short periods of time) ]

Yeah! It doesn't even have to be fishing, it can be other stuff.

Yeah, sure. Just send me a memo with the details?

Sure dude. Do you want me to walk you back to...wherever? I'm probably not going to hang out much longer either.

To Ruga, then split? Don't want you goin' too much out of your way. You should really eat first, though.

It's not exactly out of my way but yeah, if you say so. I'll get food on the way home. It is not that big of a deal.

How about you eat one of the roasted mutant fish and then we will go.

Split one with me and you have a deal.

[ ...congrats, dave goes a little pale. ] Uh.

[ fuck. he might have to just let john get away without eating, because he's pretty sure he'd throw up mutant fish just now. ]
