Luau, The Main Campfire, Friday evening

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 [livejournal.com profile] fh_weather is reporting. Yes, I'm modding the weather. Admin privilege.]

Bridge feels the girl's gaze on him, and moves to poke at Xander's neck with his nose to get his attention.

Was the ermine thing trying to get the attention of his mount? Sakurazaki frowns slightly.

No. No, they wouldn't be here. That was ridiculous. And even if they were, the was a good chance that they weren't bad. After all, Chamo-kun was good. In a very, very technical use of terms.

Still, hand drifts down to where her sword would be if she actually still had her sword. Old habit.

Xander responds to the nosepoking, because hi, teeny cold nose, and looks over. He gives a smile and a small wave to the girl, who's on the steadily shrinking list of People Xander Hasn't Met Yet.

A wave. Well, that was relaxing. At least until the ermine thing waves back. Then there might be trouble.

Head tilting slightly in an expression of curiousity mixed with confusion, she lifts her hand and gives a tiny wave back.

Bridge also waves to the girl, because it seems like the polite thing to do.

There is a facepalm. Now she definately has to go over there and talk to the ermine thing. Either there was some magic afoot here, or this guy with the pet had a very special talent at training furry little creatures.

So she does, nodding a hello to Xander, but turning her attention obviously to the rodent. "So," she says, quite seriously, eyes a little hard and challenging "what did you do?"

//Why does everyone keep asking that?// Bridge chitters a little plaintively. //It just happened!//

[[is that rodent chittering language?]]

As soon as the chittering starts, there's a flash of both relief and disappointment in Sakurazaki's sigh, hand against her heart. "Oh," she says, without realizing it. "It is just a normal rodent..."

Xander shakes his head. "Not so much, no. He's usually a guy."

"Oh," she states again, a little taken aback, and her eyes shift to Xander. "So, it is a transformation." She frowns for the little rodent thing. "The last person I knew who was like that was turned into an ermine for punishment, but he could still talk."

"Bridge didn't do anything unfortunately, dammit," Xander says. "He just kind of went *poof* and there was a ferret. Which... happens around here."

"Hm," she muses thoughtfully. "That's...unfortunate."

"You're telling me," Xander says. And then thinks that maybe he put a weeeee bit too much emphasis on that, though possibly he's paranoid.

After a moment of inspecting the ferret with more curiousity, she looks back to Xander. "I'm Sakurazaki, by the way," she adds idly. "I don't think we've met."

"I'm Xander." He smiles. "And... you met Bridge. Who's usually taller, though his hair's about the same level of fuzzy."

Re: Main campfire

[identity profile] bound2blade.livejournal.com 2006-06-02 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
That makes her smile, too. "It's nice to meet you, Xander, Bridge." Each name is met with a nod of her head.

She's so tempted to just reach out and pet Bridge, though. However, she's always been very big on the respect issue of such things, so she just settles by asking with a grin, "Is he usually about as cute, too?" And, honestly, only until after she says it does she realize that the question could be brimming somewhere near flirtation. Flirtation with a ferret, true, but flirtation nonetheless.

Xander grins. "Well, I think so? But I'm dating him, so I'd better."

Sakurazaki nods, a little taken aback at first, but only because she wasn't expecting it. "Yes," she says with a small smile. "It certainly helps, anyway."
