Veronica was still feeling a little giddy from her two shots as well as the easy conversation between her new friends; even more so that so far neither had been looking at her the way most people did if they were around her long enough. She tried so hard to suppress her abilities, but they usually wormed their way out sooner or later, not helped by the darker, mischievous side of her that wanted to be worshipped. 

She pulled her focus back to the present and away from the downward spiral of her internal thoughts, looking from Sofia over to Anatoliy before speaking. [color=B300B3]”Of course you can join us, we’ve both invited you to anyway, so don’t worry. But thank you for enjoying our vibe.”[/color] She gave him a glowing smile and blushed a little at his compliment, before taking another slow sip of her drink, savouring the coconut flavour. [color=B300B3]”Our plan for tonight is to look out for each other and just have fun, isn’t it, Sofia? And hopefully make camp a little more welcoming, though I think the general idea is to train us up for...”[/color] she paused and vaguely gestured at the air above her [color=B300B3]”something? I didn’t really want to come here either, but [b][i]Mother[/i][/b] insisted.”[/color] Her voice had hardened a little as she mentioned Aphrodite, showing a clear bitterness aimed at the goddess despite her otherwise light and warm tone. 

Veronica shrugged a little before spinning round and walking around the bar, and in the direction of the food table. She was wondering what would be available for them to eat, and whether there’d be anything picked out for each of them in particular or if it would be a random assortment. As she walked, she kept glancing over her shoulder to ensure that the other two were still with her, as her inner voice began whispering doubts about their sincerity in enjoying her company.  

Having reached the table, she turned and gestured towards Anatoliy [color=B300B3]”I’m glad there’s someone else who plays guitar. I sing a bit myself as well.”[/color] putting her drink down, she picked up a plate and began to pile up an assortment of food, looking over at the other two to see what items they were also getting. [color=B300B3]”Do you play an instrument or anything, Sofia?”[/color] She glanced at Sofia, with another smile, while nodding over at Anatoliy’s guitar.  

[color=B300B3]”I was going to ask what you play, but maybe once we’ve got a table, you could show us?”[/color] As soon as the words left her lips, she felt a momentary panic of uncertainty as she’d noticed that Anatoliy appeared to be weary when speaking with them; likely from whatever had already happened to him today, but she was worrying over whether she was making things better or worse for him. [color=B300B3]”Or not!”[/color] She hurried to add to her suggestion, trying to fix things that may not even have been broken. [color=B300B3]”I was just curious, and you don’t need to play anything if you don’t want to. We’d all be eating our food anyway...”[/color] Her head drooped a little as her voice faded towards the end of her words, feeling self-conscious as her skin burned bright crimson.

While Morne was continuing to lay it on [i]thick[/i] as far as Fiona was concerned, even if Nelly was taking it in her stride, she couldn’t help but admit that he was almost tolerable when he wasn’t trying to butter them both up. Though perhaps tolerable was perhaps a little too generous for someone whose voice made it sound like life was distracting them from being a foppish layabout.  

Though at his mention of loving a little fire, she felt herself stiffen for a moment before her head gave a slight twitch and her expression flickered through an uncertain mix of emotions. She tried her best to hide the discomfort with another sip of her drink before she cast an uneasy glance over towards the bonfire at the edge of the party, where others were huddled. 

She gave Nelly a nod as she spoke of her own schooling [color=024B30]"I’ve nay idea what the hell a GED is Nell. School was weird, Da would’na have it, see, so we got some teach out every few month from the Government, check where we’re at. Outside that, it was whatever the family taught you, you learned or could find out. Often we’d be nicking books and like from markets or libraries or whatever we’d barter for.”[/color] 

Looking over at Morne after he’d been dismissive of his own education, she tilted her head to one side before asking him a question [color=024B30]"So, other an doing ‘whatever the fuck you want’, was there anything special you wanted to do with ya life?”[/color]  

Fiona followed along as Nelly proceeded to point out those at Camp to Morne, though she almost choked on her drink when he turned back to them and labelled the main three as cunts. She fought for breath, while trying to stifle her laughter but it ended up coming out as little more than a wheeze before she was able to breathe again enough to respond. [color=024B30]"That's one way to describe them, though you might not want to say that too loudly.”[/color] As soon as she’d finished, she pressed her hand over her mouth as she continued to laugh, her voice almost silent while she kept her eyes half closed in mirth. 

Morne had then gone into a story of someone he’d worked with, though Fiona was sure everyone knew people like that just as much as those who hadn’t pulled their own weight. She remembered plenty of both from back with her family as well as places she worked since leaving home, though she did think Morne was most certainly more in the latter category. And while ‘a bit of fun’ could be anything, she knew it fast became disruptive if that’s all they did, which felt like where he’d take it given enough freedom. Even if not letting them have music on during closing up at the end of the shift sounded unreasonable, Fiona did wonder what exactly it was he’d done to Katie that he’d called ‘fun’. 

[color=f1724b]"Hey Morne, if you want, I can try introducing you to people. Sadly I won't know all since a lot of the campers here are new ones. More than double than what it used to be it seems, right Fiona?"[/color] 

Fiona nodded in mute agreement to Nelly, even if she had a sinking feeling of what the future likely held, namely being dragged around the camp for awkward introductions with people she already knew but had barely interacted with or strangers who would end up avoiding her just the same.  

‘[color=dca25b]We can leave the table and mingle with some more people. Sounds like a good time to me and Fiona definitely should join us,[/color]’ Morne looked at Fiona ‘[color=dca25b] You definitely want to join us. Maybe we can get up to some mischief and mess with people? Anyone you don’t like?[/color]’

She’d already resigned herself to her fate by following along in Nelly’s wake, despite her own plans for the evening. And while Morne’s repeated invitation felt more like a command than an offer, which rankled her, she glanced at Nelly before biting back the vicious retort that was bubbling to the surface and instead settled on rolling her eyes in exasperation before standing up to look down at them both. Hopefully, whatever [i]mischief[/i] he was planning would be far more entertaining than his company had been so far tonight. 

[color=024B30]"Less o’ the Jedi mind tricks, eh? You sounded like a cheap tricks magician me da would have given a good hiding for scaring the kids.”[/color] she sighed and drained what was left of her glass before placing it gently back onto the table. [color=024B30]"I’ll be back in a sec, right?”[/color]  

Fiona walked, mostly straight over to one of the other occupied tables, namely the one that she’d been stealing glances at for most of the evening, which was thankfully well out of earshot of where she’d just come from. [color=024B30]"Hey, Duke,”[/color] She leant forward, so her head was resting on his shoulder with her face down [color=024B30]"Nell’s forcing me ta be sociable with a new kid, save me at some point...”[/color] She mumbled against his jumper before raising her head. [color=024B30]"Please? Oh, hey, Sloane.”[/color] She pulled herself back to a better standing position, having completely forgotten that Duke hadn’t been sitting alone. Now that she remembered the other girl was there, she continued by including her in the conversation [color=024B30]"Sorry for interrupting. Feel free ta give him a hand rescuing me if it comes to it. See you two later,”[/color] she made to leave, but paused for a moment, having just spotted Rocco lying across their feet. [color=024B30]"Or three, as that’s a sweet looking dag you’ve got there, Sloane.”[/color] giving them a wave that was half salute, she spun a little unevenly on one foot and went back to join Nelly and Morne in what would probably be far more social interaction than she’d been prepared for tonight. [color=024B30]"So, where first now, Nell?”[/color]
