We haven't had a story telling bonfire in a while. So tonight's post will be 1000 points for a starter that tells a cultural story. This can be something personal or something general about your character's world.

Jaime and Eddie

It was a cute little story, Eddie thought. He'd always loved the stories that explained the world around them...stories that the world had turned to before science provided more accurate - but far more mundane - explanations. There was so much more color in thinking of the birds as creatures who had won a race that would define their existence than it was to think of them simply in having evolved that way. The world knew so much, but he couldn't help but wonder if it had lost much, as well.

When Jaime was done with her story, he looked up at her and clapped politely. He had stories of his own, but really didn't feel like telling them. They all led back to things that he'd come here to forget.

"So where'd you grow up?" He asked.

"Oh the South mainly. But we wandered around for pagents and stuff, but mostly the South." Jaime smiled warmly. She tucked a red stand behind her ear and grinned a bit.

"my grandmother liked to pass on those kinds of tales. My mother didn't like it much." But that was mostly because she hadn't wanted Jaime to follow in her grandmother's footsteps. Too bad she did anyways."what about you?"

	"Me? I'm from Iowa. Grew up in Montana. Nothing terribly interesting. Pretty much the only thing you need to know about me is that I'm not good around a lot of people." Obviously. He'd never been anywhere as big as Spokane, and he would be very glad never to be anywhere like that again. Ever. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Oh Iowa, I've been there a few times. Montana too. They're interesting places." a lot of ghosts had followed her through most of the states she'd been to, though. So her kind of interesting might be a little different.

"Ah well, honey, I'm good around lots of people and I can be that way for just about all of us." she grinned wickedly. "I grew up on stage and have my own TV show and did live tours, too."

	"Interesting?" He asked, raising his eyebrow. "No, not really." Not in his experience anyway. It was school. That was it. School, tucked away in the mountains where normal people weren't likely to come find them. Eddie wrinkled his nose. "Did you like that?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Oh it's interesting enough - but then again, I see dead people, so the wilds of Montana are good for that." she said with a smile. Was she serious? Yes. But that was left for him to wonder about.

Jaime smiled a bit more. "The pageants, eh. Not so much. They were tedious and really exhausting. The TV show? You get used to show-biz, honestly. There's a TV face and a behind the scenes real-you kind of thing. It's just another kind of job really."

	When Eddie heard about people seeing the dead, he could only think of Rose and Mason, and his face fell a little. Remembering that would always break his heart. He was glad when she changed the subject. "Doesn't sound like a lot of fun." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She read the look, she knew that kind of look, and smiled gently before ignoring the old topic and settling in on the new. "Sometimes, I just want to be me. That's for sure, but it gives me an outlet for my talents, sort of anyways, and pays the bills on time." a shrug of her shoulder. "What about you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jaime and Eddie willfreakout 2016-08-18 11:16 pm UTC (link)
	"About me?" He frowned, his eyes closing off a bit. "There's not much to know about me. I was a Guardian for a while, now I'm here." He didn't want to get into what had made him lose his status. It didn't seem fair to him, even now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jaime offered him a smile. "Well, I'm sure there's more to you than that - one's not just their career after all." she tilted her head a bit. "Are you liking it here, then?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jaime and Eddie willfreakout 2016-08-18 11:36 pm UTC (link)
	That wasn't precisely true when it came to Guardians. Guardians were their career, more than anything else. "It's alright here," he said. "I mean, the girls are nice." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She laughed softly, he was a sweet thing. "I'm glad to hear it." she smiled a bit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Eddie smiled at her a little, his eyes twinkling. "Are you enjoying the island?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jaime tilted her head back and laughed softly, her eyes glittering. "Oh, I'm having a little fun. Not as much as some I'd wager but I am enjoying it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jaime and Eddie willfreakout 2016-08-20 08:20 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, I think we all have to enjoy it in our own ways," he said. "I was here a long while before anyone showed any interest in me at all. Things are doing better now. I've been with a few women, and I'm finding my place. Sometimes it just takes a little while. You'll find your place too." He was sure of it. Arva seemed only to have chosen people who would.

	"That we do - and I'm not worried in the least. Well about that anyways. Mostly just worried about making sure I have decent shelter and so on. That's a bird harder for me. But as far as interest goes, I'm not going to fret over it." She grinned a bit. "Besides, it's a vacation. It's silent here for me and I love it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Jaime and Eddie willfreakout 2016-08-22 06:27 pm UTC (link)
	"That's true enough," he said with a smile. "You'll learn your way around and people will help you figure out a shelter. There's really nothing to worry about." Eddie stood, stretching a little. "It was nice to meet you, but I've got to get up early and get to work, so I'm going to go crash." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She smiled at him. "Alright, have a good evening then. Sleep well." she smiled as she leaned back on her hands and turned herself back to the bonfire and the rest of the party. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
