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.]

"Really?" Tempe asked, the amazement evident on her face. "That's awesome!"

Another internal facepalm.

"I'm sorry. It's just that this place never ceases to amaze me. Time travellers, people who use magic, and aliens. My brain is going a mile a minute trying to comprehend it all."

"Trust me, I understand. Even with my own unique background, my brain just about broke when I got here," Isabel assured her. "Fandom is pretty unique."

"Where are you from?"

"Just outside of Chicago, Illinois," Tempe answered. "Pretty normal little place. Plenty of museums close by."

"I've never been to Chicago, but it must be nice to have access to normal museums. The only thing we have in Roswell is the UFO museum." Isabel sighed, "It's the epitome of tacky."

[ooc: Going AFK until about 8:45. See you then?]

"Very nice. I love going to museums. And though the UFO one must be interesting, you're right, normal is good."

[OOC: Absolutely.]

"I suppose," Isabel admitted. "Although if you saw that cheesy documentary Alien Autopsy, you've seen most of the museum. I'd much rather have a good art museum to go to. I really want to get up to DC one of these days and see the Smithsonian."

"The Smithsonian," Tempe said, slightly dreamily. "I love the Smithsonian. I'll drag you there myself, if I need to. No one should ever be deprived of that kind of goodness."

"I'm up for it one day. Maybe in the Fall. I was on Student Council in the Spring and arranged a trip to Baltimore," she explained. "If I manage to get elected again this Fall, I'll have to see about arranging a trip to DC."

"Cool," Tempe replied. "I'll see about fixing that election to make sure you get elected."

She grinned. "Kidding. But you know, the sentiment is there."

"You're going to be here in the Fall right? What year will you be?" Isabel asked.

"I sure hope so," Tempe replied. "After this, I just don't think I could go back to my old school and survive."

"I'll be a junior."

"Yup, this place sort of ruins you for the rest of the world," she agreed. "It's special."

"Good. You can vote for me."
