Big Ol' Bonfire (Open, duh)

Barry was walking through the forest looking for a clear area to start a bonfire. He also had a backpack filled with chocolate bars, graham crackers, and marshmallows. Once he had found the clearing he began gathering smallish logs for people to sit on, and a bunch of sticks and set them down in the center of the clearing. Using his super speed, he rubbed two sticks together, which created sparks. Once the fire had started he began tossing in more sticks to build it up. Once he was satisfied he sat down on one of the logs and watched the smoke billow into the sky.

Matthew was standing on the edge of the forest when be saw smoke in above the trees. 'What the hell is that?' he thought has he began running towards the fire. As he reached the fire he noticed a boy sitting on a log and a controlled fire was in the center of the clearing he had just walked into. "What in blue blazes do you think you're doing?" he asked the boy, bewildered.

Barry turned around, surprised. "It's just a harmless bonfire!" he answered back. "Is there anything wrong with that?"

Keirsta had heard about the bonfire, and she sure as hell was going to attend. It meant meeting a few new students, and she could even show off her gift and have some fun with the rest of them. What could she say? Nighttime was her favorite time, and it revolved around her gift to an extreme point. Walking through the forest, she had changed out of her uniform for the day and was now wearing jean shorts and a nice blue shirt. You didn't have to wear your uniform all the time at Beata, at least from what she knew one didn't. "Hey, guys! I've brought hot dogs to roast!" She called out, setting the backpack down as she came closer to the other students.

Devin frowned from where he stood in the forest, one hand over his eyes as he stared at the billow of smoke that rose from the lake edge. Huh, so Barry wasn't kidding. His roommate had talked about starting a bonfire and had suddenly left shortly after packing. Now, Devin hadn't disbelieved his roommate or anything...He was just surprised that he had really decide to do it. His tail swished as he started to trek though the trees, pausing every once in a while to make sure he was still heading the right way until he came to the beach where Barry and two others were talking, before clearing his voice a little to catch their attention. "Hello," he said softly, giving them a small smile as his white fangs glowed slightly in the firelight. He also was without his hat for once, showing off his horns outside of his dorms. He thought a chance of pace would be nice.

Matthew frowned. 'So this was a planned thing. Why wasn't I told?' He thought. He noticed the two other people walk up so he waved hello and stepped closer to the fire.

Barry smiled as the girl said she'd brought hot dogs. "I've got s more stuff!" he called back. And then he noticed Devin there. "Hey glad you could make it! I wasn't sure if you were coming or not!" He tossed a couple more sticks in the fire and motioned them closer. "Grab a log and take a seat!"

Vincent had been wondering around the school when he saw the smoke rising from the forest. He didn't exactly freak out because the smoke coming from the forest was too small to be a danger to the forest, but he wondered what was going on, and if it involved fire then maybe he could do something with it and test out his new powers. The thought of using his powers made him kind of happy. After thinking for a moment the long haired boy took off for the forest. When he reached the clearing he saw four other students. "Oh hello!" He said with a small smile.

She could glimpse the fire through the trees, a handful of students standing silhouetted against the bright flames, thin shadows stretching over the grass. Kayla stopped at the fringe of the clearing to lean against a tree as the other students went filtering in. Bonfire. So this actually was a thing after all.

Kayla couldn't recognize most of them. There were vague memories of Keirsta back at the Halloween party, hitting on Preston and sipping Corona in some weird fox outfit, but the images all blurred together in her head. EDIT: Oh yeah, and she had joined them in their dorm not too long ago, but Kayla barely ever saw her because reasons. >> << Most of the night had been one big haze; the only thing she properly remembered was throwing up in the sink the next morning with red smudges on her cheeks. Everyone else might as well have been complete strangers. "Real party," she murmured under her breath, to no one in particular. There had to be more people than this coming.

It's been awhile since she attended a bonfire! Aspen glanced around looking for the signs of a fire. Barry hadn't really mentioned where it was, he just said that it was in the forest. The autumn didn't exactly like the smell of flames, nor did she like the burning sensation in her eyes when she got too close. Although there was some sort of comforting feeling of the flames, it had some sort of home vibe to it. After seeing a cloud of smoke a soft smile graced onto Aspens features, so there it was huh? Quickening her pace Aspen was a bit surprised too see so much people, she hardly knew everyone here. Although it was a bit reliving too see some fimilar faces such as Devin and Barry. "Hey guys! " The autumn said with a friendly tone, being a bit distracted by the crackling flames. Although the autumn nodded and quickly grabbed a log and plopped her little bottom onto it. Being around a fire and eating smores had reminded her of camps, such good days those were!

Not too far behind the pink haired girl and brown haired girl walked Leo and Aleta, who seemed pissed beyond belief that her brother was dragging her out there. She wanted to stay in her room and sleep, but Leo had other plans and argued to his sister that she should be out making friends instead of brooding in her room. Did she mention all of this was forced. Damn her brother for actually getting around and working out, he was too strong for her to fight against. She knew that he had good intentions, but still. Aleta did not want to be there in the slightest. Leo wore his usual Navy blue sweatshirt and shorts, while his sister wore her normal clothes she always does outside of the uniform. Once they entered the clearing, Leo motioned for her to go find people to sit with. Doing so earned a glare from his little sister. However, used to this treatment the blond ignored it and searched for his own seat, picking one a spot next to Keirsta. Giving her a smile in greeting. Thus leaving Aleta to sit in the closest log to were Devin was standing. Her dark eyes watched the other students talk, a blush on her face when she realized she didn't have many friends. Or really any at all that she made her own. Everyone she knew was due to her brother.

Coming in from another direction was a white haired boy, his red eyes narrowed in a resting bitch face. He had heard about the bonfire and had been wanting to check it out. Not that he wanted to meet the other students. He just really wanted to see if the forest caught fire because of some idiot and a flaming marshmallow. Lykos wanted to see that. It'd make his day. The Summer leaned against a tree in the side of the clearing, waiting for hilarity to ensue. Not too far behind his dorm mate was Griffin, his blue eyes glancing around as he entered the clearing. He had heard about it from Lykos and had considered going because he wanted to meet more students outside of the classroom. The boy chose a random seat next to someone and greeted them with a cheerful, "Hello~"

Now there's Chip. He was enjoying a nice night of staring at his book in anger near his window, when he looked up to see smoke over the trees. Curious, the Winter wandered into the clearing after a few minutes of walking. There were a myriad of students there. Mostly Autumns he noticed. Most likely because bonfires were their thing he guessed. With an ever present book with him, Chip found a seat in front of the fire, people watching, all the while held a smile on his face

Barry smiled as all the people walked into the clearing. He had no idea this many people would show up. He should've brought more s'more stuff. He'd better find more logs. "I'll be right back everyone! We're running low on logs to sit on!" he said, heading into the forest, quickly finding almost five more logs.

Hot dogs, sodas, and smores. How... cliche? Preston's gaze ran over the clearing as several people were already gathering around the fire. He glanced down at the long can in his hands, swirling it around and judging how much left he had to go on before walking into the crowd, just happening to pass by a certain grouchy pikachu as he did so. "It's kinda cute though, isn't it?" He chuckled a bit, ruffling the brunette's hair a bit before she inevitably slapped his hand away. You know what really blew? The guy-to-girl ratio this party had going. You know when guys had the majority twice over, there was a problem... But it was like there was anything else to do that evening.

Not too long after the first Autumn had made his appearance, a second one appeared, glancing around far more eagerly. Although it definitely wasn't much compared to other parties he seen, it was sort of nice in a quaint kind of way - and he hadn't really been up to much else getting ready for his graduation and all. A nice night getting fat on smores didn't seem like such a bad idea. "Mind if I sit here?" Jace smiled and asked, sitting next to a random person.

No beer, no cigs, no drugs. That was fine with her, but not something you mentioned to someone like Preston. Is this where we sign up for Cub Scouts? Between everyone's cloying friendliness and cheery disposition, it felt more like she'd just walked into a church Youth Group than gone to a highschool bonfire. The question was if she wanted to stick around or get the hell out before they all started singing campfire songs.

Kayla just flinched back away from his hand, sparks leaping out from her hair to his fingertips as he pulled his hand away. She couldn't do anything else but grimace. The next time he did that, she'd send him flying through a tree trunk. "I'm getting a smore," she told him, stepping away from the tree with a blue current rippling down her arm. "If I stab someone with a skewer, cover for me."

OOC; Sleepy, Kayla and Keirsta are dorm mates. You do know that right? So are you, Preston.

IC;

When she spotted Leo and his sister coming over, she had grinned cheerfully and had made room for both of them. When Aleta had branched out from Leo and only he had come to sit with her, she could only help but wonder. Scratching the back of her neck, Keirsta looked over to Leo. "Your sister okay?" She asked, somewhat curious about whether or not she was fine. Looking over at the group that had gathered around, she pulled out a pack of hot-dogs and skewers for everyone to use. Passing them out quickly, she leaned back slightly. "I wonder what the staff think of this. We'll all be in trouble for being out past Curfew."

Walking through the grass was Raija, appearing somewhat behind Lykos. "Please tell me I'm not the only one plotting to trash this stupid event?" She couldn't help but ask to him, putting a hand on her hip as she looked towards him with her usual glare.

Dylan stumbled into the clearing late as usual. He walked up meekly and said weakly to the crowd," Hello Everyone." He was extremely tired as he had been working on expanding his tree house before he came. He slowly sat down next to a random person and glanced around. The only person he knew by name was Kayla, and that was only because she had technically killed him. He also saw a few dorm mates but he never really bothered to talk to them.He sighed."Maybe this is a sign of how bad your social life is." He thought to himself.

Barry looked around at all the people that had come to his bonfire and realized that the stuff he had brought would not be enough. So he set his backpack down near the spare logs and ran off to go to town to buy more. In a minute or two, he was back. He made himself a large s'more and went over to introduce himself to a group standing near the fire.

Matthew was watching the boy who had started the fire, wondering who he was and if he should introduce himself, when he saw the boy run off, looking like a blur. 'So that's his gift. Super Speed. Not bad.' he thought to himself. And, in a minute, the boy was back again, making himself a jumbo-sized s'more. Matthew got up and grabbed a hot dog and decided to make himself one, helping himself to a bun and some ketchup as well.

Leo let out a sigh at her question, casually roasting his marshmallow over the fire. "She didn't want to come." He told Keirsta, his blue eyes observing the crisping goodness to make sure he didn't burn it. "She hasn't been getting around campus and talking to people. She says that she doesn't want to or can't trust anyone." It went without saying that Leo dragged his sister there. Being out past curfew? Leo wasn't sure. And while he wasn't too kin on breaking the rules, he had been wanting a nice s'more recently.

His sister sat not too far from where Leo sat. Her eyes switching from giving a glare at Leo, to a glare at the hot dog she was roasting. To Aleta, she wanted nothing more than to leave, but then it would be awkward to do that. Just getting there and all, then leaving. So she felt forced to stay.

Leaning against his tree, Lykos didn't bother removing his red eyes from the flames. He knew who it was. "I might. Though, I'm just waiting for the moment some idiot sets the forest on fire." There were a lot of people there, and he was mildly surprised that no one had gotten into a fight yet.
