[...Red. Red, pls, he can tell and you're hurting his delicate boy feelings.]
I'm having a pretty fabulous day, actually.
[Pout. He's just going to walk inside defiantly... and will not cling to her door when he starts wobbling on those heels. Still hasn't gotten a hang of this just yet, woops.]
I wanted to ask you something. [AND BEFORE HE GIVES HER ANY FURTHER OPPORTUNITIES TO LAUGH:] What exactly is a "petoskey stone"?
Oh, that's a stone native to this area. It has these little rings on it that make an interesting pattern. The locals usually polish them up and keep them as treasures or paperweights.
Lance, if I could answer that question, I would have told one of the first five people who asked me.
[Sorry bud, she can get in trouble for saying too much.]
This is something you're going to have to figure out on your own. If you've already figured out that you're dealing with Petoskey stones, then I would say you're making good headway.
[Ok. So t Lance has not seen these pictures b/c Ren has not distributed and now he's dangerously on the verge of being distracted by this. Concentrate on the bigger picture, Lance!!!
....Or is not making some kind of commentary on these private pictures going to make her suspicious.
This is hard.]
..You sext? Dang, Red. And you get on my case for "canoodling" all the time.
[Meanwhile Lance just has his hands in the air like "DON'T SHOOT PLEASE??"]
I'm sorry, I'm sorry -- that was totally inappropriate. I guess I'm just trying to... I dunno. Pretend things are normal and don't have terrifying consequences?
If you wanted to make a not-innapropriate joke, a better option would have been to run with just the 'canoodling' part. There's a reason that word is in the camp rules instead of 'making out'.
[He WOULD have called her a killjoy, but actualy... he's just going to be a bit more careful.]
But in all seriousness, Red? How would your superiors even know that you'd said anything important about Petoskey stones? They don't have surveillance on you, do they?

Red I'm serious. Why are there chunks of fossilized coral in our bodies?

Hey Red. Wanna turn the other way while one of "those rotten kids" makes off with your phone? I'm only gonna look up cat videos.
no subject
Date: 2018-06-26 05:05 am (UTC)Lance. I have private pictures on that phone. I'm not going to let you use it.
[>T]
If you want a phone, just buy one from the camp store.

I just didn't know that it was all you. I figured your superiors wrote at least a few of them.

Date: 2018-06-26 06:15 am (UTC)'No canoodling' was not originally a rule here. But watching teenagers make out gets tiring after a while.

Date: 2018-07-02 03:37 pm (UTC)I have some leeway, since my powers let me alter the footage to some degree. But if I make too many changes, they will notice.
