Vacation Time!

[onceinabluememe]

You've been planning this vacation for ages, down to the last detail and now it's time to go! Time to pack your bags and get on the road to wherever! Aren't you excited? Better savor that joy while it lasts, folks, because no vacation is without flaws and problems.

You know how this works. Comment with your character name in the subject line and any preferences you may have. Comment to others and use the handy dandy RNG to pick out your vacation spot;


1: Camping
2: Beach vacation
3: Foreign land
4: Cruise
5: Ski Vacation
6: Wildcard. Whatever you want.

And then pick out how hideous your vacation will be:

1: Lost luggage.
2: Lost tickets.
3: Missed your flight.
4: Flight is delayed. And delayed again. And delayed some more!
5: Lost room reservation.
6: Food poisoning.
7: Wild animals.
8: Forgot something important.
9: GPS/Map issues.
10: Poisoning by local wildlife.
11: The weather is horrible.
12: Wildcard! Make something up.

Eagle scout is the highest honor a boyscout can get.

[Phil smirks, starting work on another.]

I was very thorough.

[latetowork]

I see. It's like...king of the boy scouts kind of medal. Honor. Whatever you want to call it.

[Neo's marshmallow is extremely brown by this point, so much so that when he pulls it away there is still some fire tapering off at the end of it. It's not rocket science how to make one, so he simply squashes it between two crackers with chocolate, pulls it off the end, and watches as the chocolate immediately begins to melt. Funny, the way things work.]

So how do you go from learning about poison mushrooms to...where you are now?

[superbabysitter]

In a way, yes.

[Chuckling, he shifts on the log, giving a shrug.]

I grew up believing that the good people out there--the ones that wanted to make a difference, found a way to join something bigger than themselves.

I joined the military...one thing lead to another, and I ended up at SHIELD.

[The simple version really was--it seemed like what Captain America might do.]

[Neo stops, stilling at his words...but he resumes moving in order to finish the smore in his mouth. One cannot speak with melted chocolate, gelatin, and sweet crackers in their mouth, after all, and Neo actually wants to speak now.]

...it's kind of nice to hear someone call themselves a good person without seeming to realize it, or even preambling about it.

[superbabysitter]

Well now it's just awkward, with you calling it out like that.

[He looks over at Neo, giving a small smirk.]

[latetowork]

[Yep, mouth back to being crammed with smore, good times, man.]

Didn't mean to make it awkward, Phil. But you said it, you know, whether you realize it or not.

[And another marshmallow to add to the fire now, to crumble underneath its heat and turn brown, to become crisp and add that extra flavor that only pure heat can provide.]

Kind of my thing now, I guess. Figuring what's said without being said. If I'm uh...you know, the whole fictional thing where you're from...and you're familiar with it, you might understand.
