Arts & Crafts, Tuesday Afternoon, Main Campfire

[screwyoumarvel]

As the campers arrived, they would find a tall, athletic blond man in a polo shirt and khakis presiding over picnic tables covered with crafting supplies.

"Good afternoon, everyone," Steve began. "I'm Mr. Rogers--no, not that Mr. Rogers, the other Mr. Rogers--and I'll be in charge of this workshop. We're going to have a lot of fun I hope.

"So, to get started, this week we're going to make gremlins." Steve was oblivious to any horrified twitching this comment might have engendered among his students. He was really new at this. "All the necessary supplies and instruction sheets are already on the table, so...get to it. You can work together if you want to, but please remember the glue and paint are for your projects, not each other. I'll be right over here out of the line of fire if you need any help or have any questions."

"Do you know how cute you are? Nearly curls my toes, it does." With a wink and snap of his fingers, Johnny produced a small flame in his hand, staring at Charlie and allowing a small smile to crease his lips.

Charlie recoiled for a second, terrified that she'd done that without meaning to-- then her mouth formed an 'o' of surprise as she realized it was Johnny. "Ohmigosh. How did you-- how can you do that?"

Oh shit, he scared her. In a blink the flame was gone and he moved closer to her, watching her expression change into one of surprise. "Sorry, Charlie. Didn't mean to scare you. It's just something I can do." And that's only the beginning.

"Wow. Wow." Somebody like her! Almost, anyway. "That's so cool! You can just-- think about it, and then your fingers are on fire? Doesn't that hurt?"

Johnny chuckled and nodded, feeling a little shy. Why? He had no idea. He was just cute like that.

"No. And yeah. I can flame my whole body, Charlie. The ladies actually call me Torch back home."

"Torch. And, it's safe? You don't burn yourself, or anyone else? Wow." Charlie just stared, a million questions wanting to burst out, but having no idea how to start. "Is everyone in your New York City like you?"

And can she move there? Now?

"It's safe, and no, I don't burn myself." She might be a little surprised to learn just how hot Johnny can get. Supernova, baby! "And yes, my fire can be used as a defense if needed. Would you like to see more?"

"Sure!" Charlie didn't actually know how hot the fires she started became. It probably would have scared her senseless if she did; it had certainly appalled the scientists who had tested her years ago.

Johnny had this under control. Maybe, maybe... no, too risky. But it was *cool* to see someone else do what she was too frightened to try.

"How does tomorrow evening sound? You see, if I did much more now, I'd burn my clothes. That wouldn't be good seeing as we're all public like. I have a special suit, just for me. I can show you much more with that suit on." That was Johnny asking Charlie out. How smooth was that?

"That would be so cool." Charlie nearly hugged herself with delight, and grinned hugely at Johnny. "I'd love that! What time?"

"Tell me where and I'll pick you up at some handwavey FH time in the evening. We'll take a walk on the beach where hopefully we'll have a little bit of privacy."

"I'm in Minotaur cabin? The A-side. And I don't have any workshops tomorrow, so any time is good, really." Charlie smiled widely, then said, "And maybe we can go get something to eat, after."

And that would totally make it a date, right?

He smiled warmly, "I don't have any tomorrow either, Charlie, so that works out - oh, wait, I got a job. It'll have to be after work. I start at the Photo Hut tomorrow. But it won't be too late; Leo said I can pretty much leave whenever I want if I've got something to do. And yes, I'd love to go get something to eat after."

Totally would. Johnny was going to write it down in his little black book.

"Awesome." Yay, a date! With a cute guy who was like her, only cooler! Charlie grinned at him, and carefully brushed the glitter on the table away from him. "Don't worry, I'll protect you from the evil decorations. Wouldn't want you to not show up tomorrow."

Re: Talk Amongst Yourselves/Work On Gremlins

"Sweetheart, it'd take more than glitter, trust me." But he glanced down anyway, just to make sure it wasn't anywhere near him.

"I'll see you most likely in the later afternoon, early evening tomorrow. And Charlie, I'm very much looking forward to it."

"Me too." Fandom rocked!
