[The video opens on a pile of wood, sticks, shrubbery, and chunks of what might have been siding, all piled into a very obvious pyramid surrounded by rocks.]

So everything has sucked recently. Back home in Montana, when shit got rough we'd always get together and have a big bonfire. Get drunk, make s'mores, all that stuff. It didn't make things better but at least you forgot about it for a little while.

Worth a try right?

[He sounds like he's honestly asking. He's trying really hard to be positive for once.]

I've got some graham crackers, chocolate, and other things for roasting. No marshmallows though so if anyone wants to come through in the clutch it would be appreciated.

I'm lighting this up tonight at dusk, so if you want in, be there. I've only got so much to burn and it might not last more than an hour or two.

((OOC: Feel free to use this like a log and make top levels and do action things. Go forth and get some bonfire mingling on!))

I know that. I know that I'm not actually a total murder-psycho deep down, it just-- I can't lose it like that. I'm too dangerous.

[originallutece]

In what way?

[Because from where she's sitting, he looks like a teenager, no more or less.]

[itsnotaonesie]

I'm not normal.

[Which explains nothing, but that's all he says for a moment. Normally when he describes himself like that, he doesn't think of it in a negative sort of way, but now he's actively afraid of what he can do, the kind of damage he can cause. He's a little freaked out at himself It's all good.]

I mean, I'm really strong. Like, I can lift a truck, I'm freaky strong.

[originallutece]

I see.

[Her eyes wander over him again, assessing his expression, before she adds bluntly:]

And did you utilize that strength over the past few weeks?

[itsnotaonesie]

[His expression is somewhere right around "depressed but trying not to look it", but then she asks that question all BAM and for a second his expression shifts to either "constipated" or "constipated and also grounded". Idk his faces man]

Yeah, well. I can't exactly turn it off, so yes.

[originallutece]

In what manner?

[She's never going to stop asking question, not while he still answers them. But to be fair, her expression isn't malicious or gleeful. She isn't asking because she's enjoying this. It's just that they're in the conversation now, and it's better, in ehr opinion, to have these things out.]
