[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!))

That was the idea. And I specified "where nothing bad happens" so they don't try and fuck with us during it. But I assume if it actually happens there'll be something where drinking the punch knocks us out and when we wake up we can't feel happiness anymore or something.

If it's Tranquility, then I guess maybe we all just get super high from whatever we eat. That's not technically bad? Though I guess someone could have a bad trip.

[theweakhavepurpose]

I'd rather not.

[Though even he has to admit having a really good trip in the Bliss might be nice and relaxing right now.]

We'll see if he even follows through before I start worrying about tripping balls off of hallucinogenic crab cakes or something.

[aroundthecoroner]

God, crab cakes.

[Hallucinogenic or not, he would eat the first one he saw.]

Not that the chocolate isn't satisfying, but it sure isn't the only thing I miss.

[theweakhavepurpose]

I know. I shouldn't talk about food. I mentioned Reuben's to someone and spent all day fucking fantasizing about sandwiches.

[He probably would too. Fuck he misses food.]

I asked for a Starbucks too. No go on that one.

[aroundthecoroner]

I mean, I guess we have the coffee cart.

[Which is an improvement, but it's not the sickly-sweet sugar rush that Starbucks is.]

But man. Lobster rolls. Chinese food. Pizza. I know I'm not helping, but let me have the fantasy.

[theweakhavepurpose]

No you're making it so much worse!

I hadn't even thought about Chinese food before now. Man. That would be amazing for how fucking cold it is, have some egg flower soup and sit by the window and watch the cold.

Fuck.

God, sorry. [He's not sorry.] One of the magic types around here really needs to learn to magic up some good food.

[But not him, because he's still a magic baby.]

[theweakhavepurpose]

Taako made spaghetti out of magic once, but it was with an MRE that was supposed to be spaghetti. I don't know that we have anything even remotely resembling chow mein.

[aroundthecoroner]

Damn.

[But while they're at it...]

Were there any other MREs worth magic-ing into actual food?

[theweakhavepurpose]

The other ones I had were pasta primavera, chili and one that just said PORK in all caps. Even if I wasn't a vegetarian I wouldn't try my luck at mystery pork.
