BOND Campfire Friends

[overworker]

Who: Thyme and friends (everyone)
When: Day 56, evening
Where: Outside, a little ways away from the train

[ Tonight, everyone is invited to a campfire get together. While it was organized by Thyme, friends and new faces alike are welcome to join in. They have all the things you need to make some great s'mores by the fire; including some nicely trimmed sticks for all your toasting needs. ]

We thought it might be nice to get everyone who wanted to come together and tell some stories. For us, this is an official way of bonding. But in general-- I think it could be good for everyone. So it doesn't have to just be us. If you have a story, you're welcome to share it! That goes for any other fun activities you might have in mind.

[ There's plenty of open space-- room for people to improvise if they want to add to the event. ]

The important part is that everyone gets to have fun together after all. So I hope you all enjoy yourselves. If there's anything I can do, please don't hesitate to ask.

—You're a dad!?

[He laughs and shakes his head.]

No, no.

[Pause.]

As far as I know. It's unlikely with probability, but not impossible.

Faito and I knew we knew each other because we showed up here with matching necklaces and because I can fight her without hurting her thanks to muscle memory. Plus some similar habits.

So we started making up what it might be from what clues we could get about each other and ourselves. It was originally Faito just had a fight club until she remembered the weird thief.

But she's remembered her father, who is a cop funnily enough, and then we realized I'm about five hundred years in the future and our necklaces are magic. Which means the truth is probably wilder than what we made up.

Or something more normal than encouraging teenage fight clubs and vigilantism??

[schrodingerscockroach]

To be fair, I would probably encourage vigilantism.

But we know time travel is involved. And magic. Neither Faito nor I think of magic as a 'common' thing. It existing would be like one of those secret, weird things only a few people know about sort of thing.

And so far the only time we've had time travel mentioned, it was talking about how there was a guy who destroyed all of time and space and my friends and I were trying to fix it somehow, so...

[S-shrugs.]

I'm pretty sure 'normal' isn't something I have in my life a lot.

[bowtiedbones]

Even without that, you two moved off of normal as soon as you arrived here.

[schrodingerscockroach]

We didn't think it'd be true. It was just a dumb story to make up until we figured out what really happened.

....and people don't get scars like we do without unpleasant stories involved. A fun one was better.

[bowtiedbones]

A crime-fighting dad-daughter duo is a cute idea.

[schrodingerscockroach]

Isn't it though? We would have been the scourge of the streets.
