OPEN TO: ALL - MINGLE
WARNINGS: Please warn in your subject line as needed
NOTES: Details found here

---

It's been a strange, rough couple of months for our intrepid villagers — Bunkers, superpowers and clones, oh my! Perhaps the Observers are sympathetic to their plight, or maybe they just have a peculiar sense of humor. At any rate, they've set up a gathering space chalk full of summer camp goodness, no strings attached. Not that anyone knows that part.

Just before sunset, a cheery message pops up on wrist devices all across the settlement and beyond. The instructions seem simple enough, although one does have to wonder at what dubious gift awaits them all after everything is said and done.

Marshmallows are on the house, so grab yourself a stick, strap on a sash and get to roasting, villagers. Skinny dipping, sing-alongs and friendship bracelets optional.

Hot Spring/Back at the Fire

[demonic_divinity]

Vergil knew she would be going for all the badges, hell. Katherine was always the over achiever, and when he saw her head off towards the hot spring he quietly trailed after, a minute or so back. He took to leaning against a near by tree in case anyone tried to get fresh with her.

Despite how he's felt of late, and how he acted like he didn't care she was the only good thing he had from home and he knew her history, like hell was he not keeping an eye on her. When she started back towards the fire he let out a sharp whistle to catch her attention, pushing off the tree to catch her. "Do you have all your badges yet?" Guess who had like two? This guy.

Hot Spring/Back at the Fire

It shouldn't have surprised her. The moment she'd headed towards the hot springs she should have known that she had a tail trailing behind her.

Vergil's been out of sorts since the bunker and more than a little withdrawn. Kat was worried that he's turned back into his old paranoid self but he was here and that was a step in the right direction. It was nice to see him, even if he was standing like a shadow amidst the trees.

Kat relaxed when and even dared a little smile. "I'm close. What about you?" She didn't think he was interested in the badges but it was worth asking.

[demonic_divinity]

With her past, of course he was. Even if he would never admit his worry or his protective nature to her when its just them.

"I haven't even bothered." he admitted coming out to join her at her side, even daring to offer her his arm. "but I had a feeling you would, you are always the over achiever." He usually was to but the mess of emotions had left him just that, a mess.

Her expression softened around the edges, her eyes taking on a gentle sheen. "I figured as much but I'm glad to see you here." Kat hadn't thought that he'd come. "It's been fun trying to collect them all."

Her fingers rested lightly on his offered arm but Kat kept a sliver of air between them. She was still wet and she didn't want to get Vergil wet by proxy.

"Are you enjoying yourself?"

[demonic_divinity]

He liked that look on her even if he wouldn't admit it. "I am becoming far to predictable." He actually dared to joke. "I am glad to hear it."

Luckily he had on the pea coat so he wouldn't get wet as easily. He missed his jacket. "I suppose I am. AS much as I feel I can anyway."

It was brief but Kat smiled at him, her dark emerald green eyes glittering in the moonlight that filtered through the trees. A breeze rustled through the trees and Kat shivered, wrapping her arms around her torso. It had been a cool night but between the fires and the Hot Springs, Kat had barely noticed.

"That's good." She didn't like seeing him locked away in his room though she wondered if he thought himself incapable of feeling more. Kat knew that wasn't true but she also didn't know how to convince Vergil of that. "I know that what you saw in the bunker still bothers you." Kat couldn't do anything about it but she knew that it was an issue. "I wish there was something we could do about it." The worst part of the situation was that they were completely helpless.
