[On the far edge of the lake - as far as you can get from the cabins, and semi-obscured from view by some trees - 1am finds Shego sitting on the bank, lazily trailing her toes through the water and lighting a cigarette. As much as she's tried to avoid herding small children, she's still had more encounters today with idiot fourteen-year-olds who think they're at the center of the universe than she was planning to have all summer. At least she's alone-ish now, although it feels like camp never really sleeps. She inhales deeply, exhaling smoke.]

[She laughs. Not in a mean way.] Sure. The world will fear and envy your power over a bunch of adolescent adrenaline junkies. First summer camp, then the world.

[IS THIS BONDING or just the calm before the mocking storm? Tim snorts.] I've got this internship at my dad's company after this. I figure there isn't a big step between kids and corporate moguls, right?

"So, like...are you going to be sitting here all night?"

[christ-onabike.livejournal.com]

"There is a reason waiver forms exist. This is what makes our lives easy. Besides, who's idea was it to put a bunch of us in charge of a bunch of kids. Dumbest idea I've ever seen." He shook his head and took a long drag of his cigarette, "Nope. I dunno why I keep returning."

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

"Maybe. Not your job to care."

[tadwizard.livejournal.com]

"I know. But like...I was going to inspect that hole in the tree trunk behind you for contraband. I...uh...heard some kids talking about sneaking something in there." Okay, so he stuck some Moosehead lager in there. Close enough.

Nooo. It's more like a teeny tiny hop. They're just more resistant to caffeine, is all. What does your dad do, anyway?

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

She waved a hand vaguely. She was far enough from any tree trunks not to be in his way. "Go for it. I'm not gonna stop you."

[peektuttut]

Right. Need stronger coffee. I'll remember that. [He shrugs.] He has contracts with all sorts. Mostly electronics. I think there are a couple military deals, but he doesn't tell me much about them.

"Thanks." He went over, taking the beer out of the tree trunk. "So yeah...going to go into the woods to confiscate this, now." And with that, he went into the woods to confiscate some of the beer by way of his mouth. And to find a better hiding place for the rest.

"Resume padding. That or the money or both. That's the only reason anybody with their priorities right bothers showing up here more than once."

[christ-onabike.livejournal.com]

"Whole reason I'm here right there." He took another drag from the cigarette, "Where you from, anyway?"

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Exciting. So this is your one last grasp at the great outdoors before you get inducted into Daddy's evil empire, huh?

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

"New York." Her tone doesn't suggest any willingness to be more precise. "You?"

[christ-onabike.livejournal.com]

"Chicago. Works for me. New York is a nice sorta place, though."

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

"You think?" She didn't look convinced. "I think you stay in any place long enough, you start hating it. I cannot wait to get out."

[mightymorbid]

[And then he's just kind of there.] That's bad for you, y'know.

So's being out in the middle of the night while being eight years old.

[mightymorbid]

They made me go hiking. I got lost. :|

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

[She glances at him, trying to unpick that.] Who is 'they'?

[mightymorbid]

I don't know who any of these people are. The camp. ...This happens a lot.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Let me guess. Misinformation from some jackass kid playing a prank?

[mightymorbid]

It could go either way, really.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

[She takes a drag.] Look. Cabins are that way. [She points across the lake; there's still enough security lighting to see by.] Next time? Check with a counselor. Check with two. Teenagers are self-centred manipulative psychos, don't believe anything they tell you.

[mightymorbid]

[He pushes his glasses up on his nose]

Aren't you a teenager?
