[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!))

[Oscar turns toward him, and Nick glances his way, only for his eyes to find their way back to the fire a second later.]

I'll get on it.

[As he assured Oscar last time, and the time before that, and the time before that. As always, he's seen better days: his coat could use a new patch, as some stitches are in desperate need of repair, and that rusted pinky of his is curled against itself, stuck there from an impact. The fact his H's sound a little distorted.means there's at least one internal problem, with his vocal modulator being the likely culprit.

But he lived, and he's not sure how he feels about that when so many others -- Oscar included -- didn't. He rubs at the back of his neck, offering his friend further justification.]

She's been busy lately. We both have.
