[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!))

Well no it wouldn't make them okay. But it could bond everyone together and give them strength to help them fight against that fear. That's something, isn't it?

[Holy shit someone more positive than Peter. He didn't know that was possible.]

Yeah I guess. If it works anyway. I'm uh... trying.

[The most depressing guy on the planet is trying to boost morale and it's a struggle.]

[Actually Komaeda isn't the most positive person ever. He is a great believer in hope and fighting for it though.]

It's always worth a shot! It might be worth observing how people react, though. [Which is what he's going to do. And see if he can say something to people who are still depressed.]

I'm gonna be pleased if no one sets themselves on fire. I didn't count on people not knowing what a bonfire was.

Or what s'mores are.

[hoperulesdespairdrools]

That would be pretty unfortunate if that happened. [He can see people accidentally being set on fire just because he happens to be in the vicinity as thanks to his luck talent but let's not think about that right now.] But I'm more interested to see if sitting together and eating together inspires people!

Come down and find out. Bring roasting stuff.

Or fuel for the fire. I only have enough to keep it going for maybe an hour. But uh.. don't destroy any buildings for it or anything.
