Rumor Gal Campfire; Thursday Evening

While he was getting pretty damn tired of the whole cabin thing, Chuck would have been stupid not to take advantage of an already lit fire and the new bag of marshmallows he found in the kitchen. He wasn't quite sure who kept buying the marshmallows but Zefron bless them.

Joint in his left hand, Chuck tried his hand at trying to flick marshmallows in the air with his right and catching them in his mouth. Turns out he had a talent for it.

[Mmm my hangover is finally subsiding. Ooooopen, of course]

"Hi," Ellie greeted. "You're in Tactics, too, right?"

"Sure am!" Sookie said cheerfully. "I don't know that I got your name -- I have a tough time keepin' everyone straight, you know?" Because she was usually concentrating on staying out of their heads. "I'm Sookie."

"I'm Ellie," she told her. "Nice to meet you, Sookie. How long have you been here?"

"Since winter, if you can believe it," Sookie said with a rueful laugh. "Yourself?"

"That makes you an expert on this place compared to me," Ellie said, grinning. "I've been here since the beginning of summer."

"I'm still hardly an expert," she assured her. "I mean, it's an awful overwhelming island when you're used to a lot fewer people."

"Oh yeah, I can imagine," Ellie nodded. "I'm from L.A., so I'm kinda used to a lot of people. Where are you from?"

"Bon Temps -- lil' bitty town in Northern Louisiana," Sookie offered. "The kind of place were everyone knows everyone and we all know each other's business, y'know?" And everyone thought she was crazy, but that was a separate issue.

"It's not quite like that where I'm from," Ellie said. "Sounds nice."

"But it's supposed to be really beautiful in California. And y'all don't have humidity," she said enviously.

"True, but we do have fire season," Ellie replied.

Sookie made a little 'eep' face. "Which is probably not really worth the trade-off of not havin' to deflate your hair all the time."

Ellie just smiled. "It's still home, though."

Even if her family wasn't exactly typical.
