[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.]

"No, but my dad might come and do it anyway. It's that kinda thing."

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

She blinks. "That's....sobering. My dad's just a mall rent-a-cop."

[christ-onabike.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, it ain't good. I don't really wanna get involved, but... family thing, you know."

[mightymorbid]

I'm not paranoid. [Again adjusts his glasses] I'm just careful.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

"Yeah."

Long silence.

"You realize there's like nothing I can say now without a really abrupt change of subject."

[christ-onabike.livejournal.com]

"Hm. Point." He took a drag of his cigarette and looked at her, "So, any kids that are setting 'emselves up to be right bastards this year? Spotted any?"

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

"There's a bunch more 'wait until I tell my father about this, you'll never work in this town again blah blah blah' types than last year. Exactly the same bunch of kids who fail to realize they've been sent here because their parents can't stand them being around all summer."

[christ-onabike.livejournal.com]

"Oh, fuck me. Stuck up little bastards as usual, then." He grimaced and shook his head, "Get the picture guys, your parents fucking don't want to fucking deal with your whining."

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

She grinned. "You could've crammed at least another two F-bombs in there if you really tried."

[christ-onabike.livejournal.com]

"Eh, once you start actively trying, then you just become a fucking dick."

[peektuttut]

[Tim shuddered.] Yeah, the scary kind.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Being careful is fine. I'm all for being careful. But being careful about stuff that's never gonna happen is kinda the definition of paranoia, sport.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Terrifying. [She drummed her fingers against the grass, feeling a little bit fidgety now that she didn't have a cigarette to hand.]

So. You don't smoke, you don't drink. Are you going to be bending any rules?

[peektuttut]

I might take my campers to the ice cream shack. Without clearing it with four people. [He wiggled his fingers in front of him.] I'm that intense.

[easy-aspie.livejournal.com]

You don't believe what they say about, um. Snakes, and... other stuff in there? [Ned's got shifty eyes; if anyone half-believes in lake monsters, it's him]

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Pfft. Yeah, sure. Snakes, giant leeches and that three-headed slime monster that eats little kids. It's all just BS.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

[Shego laughed.] Check out your hardcore rebellion. I'm afraid to be seen with you.

[She circled a toe around in the lake water.]

I was going to take a swim before I head back. Wanna join me?

[peektuttut]

[He chuckled, looking out at the water before glancing back at Shego.] I, uh, I don't have trunks on.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but you've got something on under there, right? Or just...

[She shrugged and shot him a challenging half-smile as she got to her feet.] ...just don't bother. I won't look.

[peektuttut]

[Oh. Boy. That. Well. Tim ran a hand through his hair and stood up, blushing a little. It was dark enough to hide that, right? He started tugging off his shirt.] Uh - yeah, okay.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Score one for peer pressure. [She chuckled and slid out of her sundress, revealing a black bikini underneath.] And hey, it's only the first night. Maybe by the end of summer you'll stop caring if your campers use the buddy system.

[peektuttut]

[Tim rolled his eyes at her, shaking his head. He hesitated for a minute, but slid off his shorts. At least he wore boxers today. He could deal with boxers in the water.] Uh-huh. And when one of them drowns, I get sued.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Not so much. The camp gets sued and you cry about how you were so undertrained and overworked that you just couldn't concentrate.

[She started to wade out into the lake. It was a warm night - the water was cooling but not chill.]

Oh, and then you sue them too for causing you emotional distress.

[peektuttut]

That'd be...a really crappy thing to do. [He stared for a moment before following her in.] Nothing like suing and lying.

[gotgreenmagic.livejournal.com]

Yeah, yeah, you're doomed to be Mr. Nice Guy forever, I figured. It's kind of cute.
