Weekend Away
Roy's checked the brakes, and the tires, and the spare tire on the vehicle. He made sure all the packs had basic medical kits, that the tents were really good tents, and the flashlights were all new, with batteries to spare. He's made Lian go over the lists of essentials twice, and he's lost count of how many times he's lectured her about being in charge, and the responsibility that goes with it.

Because it's making him feel like Ollie, he'll be done now. Really. There's no more he could possibly check with her.

"You have the numbers to all the local ranger stations and the hospital, right?"

	Iris is late. "I knew I should've set my alarm today..." she mutters to herself as she runs along to where the car with the her friends is driving along the gravel road. She may have overshot it just a bit. They'll catch up to her in a few minutes anyway. Grinning, Iris places her camping gear on the ground next to her and sticks her thumb out.

	Jeannie's halfway through getting a soda from the cooler when she sees Iris up the way. Jeannie's forgotten about the soda. Once they're at a stop, she throws the door open and scoots over for Iris, hands out in offering to help with the gear. Also, she's got to tease Iris a bit. Little red and yellow "Z"s crop up in the air. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jeanie's not the only one who needs to bust stones. Lian turns around, looking over her Billy Joel sunglasses at Iris with a smirk. "How do you of all people manage to be late, Twinkle-Toes?" Lian nods toward Jeanie. "You're lucky I stopped. This one's dad would drop dead of a stroke if he knew I was stopping for hitchhikers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	If nothing stops her, Iris will have a Traya glomp. "Iris! Yay! You made it! I totally thought you'd forgot!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Jeannie nods in agreement with Lian and parts her hands, flared out; no more parents' paranoia! She climbs nonchalantly over seats and people, though careful not to step on anyone, to put the luggage in the back with all the others. She settles in a space near a window so she can watch the aura colors that pass. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	While all this is going on, Ty extends a hand, locating the soda in the now open cooler and telekinesing it over to Lian, before he shifts his attention to Iris. "Glad you made it ok." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I kinda overslept," Iris says with a sheepish grin as she climbs into the car.

She's not even halfway in when she's glomped by Traya. "Easy there," she says returning the hug.

Once she's settled in, Iris reaches towards the soda cooler.

"By the way," she holds up a basket, "Speaking of parental paranoia....mom made sure that I had plenty of first-aid stuff and dad says that I have call him when we get there and every hour on the hour. Which is why I'm kinda hoping that there's no cellphone service."

	"Oh, man," Traya says, after she's let Iris go. "My dad's totally the same. Talk about overprotective...!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I'm lucky," Cerdian replies. "Any time my dad attempted to be overprotective, I just pointed out that he grew up feral, and ran away with his girlfriend when he'd just met her when he was 14. Any overprotection kinda loses its steam after that point."

"Snacks?" he offers as an aside as he pulls out a bag of Cheetoes and opens it, beginning to offer it around to people.

Eyes still out the window, Jeannie's listening. At the mention of "snacks" and the crinkle of the bag, she puts her hand out nonchalantly. It isn't until it's passed to her that she actually looks down at the bag, and even more alarming, sees what's in it.

The bag and its contents go flying with a squeal, raining everyone in orange cheese-flavored cornmeal snacks, including Jeannie. With the same level of distress most would give to bugs on their person, she shakes them off and climbs up on the seat as far as she can. The Cheetos disappear from sight, though they still crunch underfoot.

	"...don't like Cheetoes?" Cerdian guesses, staring in confusion at Jeannie. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

The wheel doesn't waver, but practice is more to credit for that than Lian not being scared by the scream. She looks back in time to see the orange curls of cheesy corn disappear, and smiles ruefully.

"Jeannie," Lian says calmly, continuing to drive, "Put your sunglasses on, and then let Cerdian see his Cheetos so we can pick them up."

"And yeah, I should have told everyone. Unless Jeannie's wearing her glasses, she's a little... ...unhappy with the color orange."

	Traya blinked in surprise at the combination of scream and toss. "...That was different." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	teddyurastar 2009-08-17 03:53 am UTC (link)
	Raining yum-yums. Heh. Teddy feels a few on his shirt, and does the quick snack-game-eat shuffle. "Just in case it was missed there, folks, yes, we are going camping, with a campfire, which is the strangest shade of red and yellow..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lil_redhood 2009-08-17 03:57 am UTC (link)
	Being a non-smoker, Lian has no need of an ashtray, so the truck's ashtray is instead filled with change, most of it pennies. Lian picks one up by feel, and without taking her eyes off the road she flicks it over her shoulder at the center of Teddy's forehead. "Be nice, Teddy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	catchmeifyoucan 2009-08-17 05:22 am UTC (link)
	Iris just sort of blinks. "Are you okay, Jeannie?" she asks, offering a warm smile. She holds up a bag of plain Lays potato chips. "We have...um...less colorful snacks, if that's what you wanted?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Ty was mostly keeping quiet. All the talk about overprotective parents serving to remind him about his own mother kicking him out. For his own good, but still.

The squeal shakes him out of his reverie in time to get covered in orange crumbs. Letting things settle, he concentrates, casting a quick cleansing 'spell' to get it out of his clothes, then telekinesing all the little orange bits off of him and from around him into a little ball - held it a little yellow sphere so the orange isn't visible.

"Give me a sec and I'll get it all cleaned up."

	"Thanks, Ty," Cerdian nods to his new friend. He casts another spell to turn the few Cheetos that remain in the bag purple. "Here. Purple now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"No problem." he replies, though his look of concentration says otherwise. Discerning what is cheeto and what isn't from everyone and everything else takes considerable focus, and more than likely, most people get de-linted at the same time, but he manages not to remove anyone's clothes or empty anyone's pockets as he gathers every last bit of cheeto into the little yellow-encased ball.

"Garbage bag?"

	Jeannie looks at the purple cheese curls, but underneath it all she knows they're really orange. She nods in thanks at Iris for the potato chips. Her other hand holds out the garbage bag with an apologetic look. ...And does not mention her glasses got hid somewhere at the house when her father wasn't looking. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ty lowers the yellow sphere full of cheese curl bits and crumbs into the garbage bag. "No problem, all fixed. Anyone need anything else?" (Reply to this)(Parent)
