Luau, The Main Campfire, Friday evening

[bugofjustice.livejournal.com]

The main campfire had been turned into a tropical paradise... without the tropics. There were leis and grass skirts to wear, tropical music playing, a buffet table, and the infamous Limbo Stick of Destiny, an artifact brought back to America from World War II. Noody knows what happens when a person wins a limbo competition involving the Limbo Stick of Destiny, but several experts on the subject suggest that "absolutely nothing happens except maybe you win a little trophy."

It was party time at the Fandom High Summer Camp.

[OOC: OCD is up. Yes, there is pig, poi, and sometimes the band will switch from generic tropical music to 60's beach movie music, or maybe reggae, or Raffi. They're unpredictable like that.

The luau takes place during a long break in the rain that fh_weather is reporting. Yes, I'm modding the weather. Admin privilege.]

Parker's smile brightened again, and she nodded. "This is usually the part where I threaten you if you hurt my friend," she said conversationally. "Except I told Jack I wouldn't. And you've already been very cool to him. So, can we take it as read, and skip it, until such time as it *really* seems necessary? I want to save the good threats for those that deserve them."

He quirks an eyebrow at her before breaking into a smile.

"I'm glad to know I don't deserve them. Yet." And, he hoped, never. "I don't plan on hurting anyone here, Parker, if I can help it. Well, unless, they eat my cooking or hear me sing. Then, I might hurt them but it'll be by accident!"

Parker snickered, relaxing a bit. "Get Jack to sing for you sometime. He does a mean Dean Martin impression. Also, if you get him on any Cole Porter? Knee-melting."

Re: Main campfire

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"Jack sings?" He looks thoughtful for a moment. "Man of many talents."

Re: Main campfire

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Especially when drunk." Parker cocked her head. "Of course, some of his other talents are improved by *lack* of drink, but even then? Not really compromised."

And yes, that's just as dirty as you think it is.

"You sound like someone who's experienced that," Cedric says, hiding another smile behind his hand.

Re: Main campfire

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker shrugged one shoulder and smiled. "We had a thing, for about two or three months. Nothing serious. But very very fun while it lasted." She made a face. "I just wish he remembered it now."

Re: Main campfire

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"Yes, that's..." He trails off and looks away. "I can't even imagine, you know. It's hard to even think about."

Re: Main campfire

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Yeah." Parker looked down at her drink. "So if I seem a little protective-- there is reason, after all. Even if he's trying hard to be okay with it." She cocked her head at Cedric. "So. Backstory on Jack's new buddy? Name, rank, and serial number, Bubba." The smile should let him know she's kidding, mostly.

"You're very blunt," Cedric says but tempers it with another smile. "Cedric Diggory. From England. Previously of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."

Re: Main campfire

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Hogwarts, Hogwarts... nope, don't know it. The accent's cute, though. And Jack said you do magic?" Parker tilted her head. "Is the plant magic? He was joking about that, but I wasn't sure if he was serious."

Re: Main campfire

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"Magic, yes," he says. "And, as far as I know, the plant is just a plant. I bought it at the local store in town after noticing his previous plant wasn't faring too well."

"Disappearing for six weeks will do that." Parker snapped her fingers. "Xander's Willow goes there! I knew it sounded familiar. Rosenberg? Have you met her? She's got a rather testy double wandering around here, too."

Re: Main campfire

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

Knitting his brow, Cedric tries to remember if he'd met a Rosenberg. He comes up empty.

"I don't believe I met her, no. She might've been in a different house though. Or a different year."

Re: Main campfire

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"House?" Parker cocked her head. "Like a dorm? And she'd be American too, so I'd figure you'd have met her, but yeah, I think there might be time issues. Xander's from 2000."

"From what I've learned houses are similar to teams," he says. "Hogwarts has four houses. Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff. When a new student enrolls, they're sorted into the approriate house based on personality and skills."

Re: Main campfire

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"So which were you?" Parker cocked her head. "And what would Rita Skeeter be, if you know who she is?" Thinking about it, she raises one eyebrow. "Is Malfoy from your world too? Because I think I half-remember him talking about wizardry, once."

Re: Main campfire

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"I was a Hufflepuff," he says. "Rita Skeeter would probably be a Slytherin." Of course, that might just be his bitterness talking. "And yes, Draco Malfoy is from my world. He's a Slytherin as well. I was quite surprised to see him here."

Re: Main campfire

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Okay, that doesn't make me love Slytherins. He's a superior snot, the one or two times I talked to him." And she's not forgetting that he was in with Angelus, either. "Hufflepuff?" She grinned. "Who named you guys?"


[ooc: and I go away to work, wah. talk to you later!]

Re: Main campfire

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"The house of Hufflepuff is named after Helga Hufflepuff," he says. "Hufflepuffs are known for being just, loyal, true and patient. So, not so bad."

Re: Main campfire

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

Parker grinned. "Are they know for cuteness? 'Cause they should be." She raised an eyebrow. "And what are Slytherins known for?"

Re: Main campfire

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

Cedric grins and looks down at the ground. "Slytherins are known for being very cunning and using any means to achieve what they want."

Re: Main campfire

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Soooo... could be bad. Could be good." Parker made a so-so gesture with the hand not holding her drink. "I'd probably get slotted into Slytherin, come to think of it."

Re: Main campfire

[chasingsnitches.livejournal.com]

"The Slytherin garner bad reputations at times," Cedric admits. "Not all of them deserve said repuation."

Re: Main campfire

[mparkerceo.livejournal.com]

"Think that people start to resemble who they're slotted in with?" Parker asked, then grinned. "Stickbugs and Meerkats. Seahorses and.... Koalas, or Squirrels?"
