[River has managed to construct a bonfire in the clearing across the river from the items/furniture shop. The fire is obviously easy to spot, but River herself has drawn her legs close to her chest on the grass, hunching over. She doesn't look very inviting, but there's several bags of marshmallows lying around and she did promise you a ghost story

[Nia was curious about these ghost stories that River told her and decided to go to the bonfire. It took her a while to find it though. There, she saw a bunch of marshmallows...or at least...she thought they were marshmallows and sat down]

My, how exciting!

[River peeks up through her hair at the girl. oooooh spooky.]

Have you ever heard tell of the outer planets?

[moehime]

[Nia doesn't mind, she finds everything exciting at the moment!]

No, I have not, please do tell!

After Earth-That-Was was spent, we moved outwards. Like a flower spreads its petals.

But on the outer planets, there was something waiting for us.

[Duo works near there so he wanders over.] Hey there. Plannin' a camp out?

[jian_wen]

[she sneaks a smile at him from behind a curtain of hair.]

I have a secret.

[colony_brat]

Oh? What's that?

[jian_wen]

A story.

[You'll have to come closer, Duo. I won't bite 8)]

[Buffy takes a seat and makes a guess:]

...River?

[jian_wen]

[o hello buffy, have a creepy smile 8)]

You came.

[slaying]

I said I would--and I try to keep my word.

[hi, have a creeped out smile back.]

[jian_wen]

[River unfolds her legs and stands up fluidly, and then she's got her hand on your cheek. Hi there.]

January nineteenth.

[invisible_inuki]

[Guessing that the sparks were from the campfire River said she wanted to have she headed over.]

Hiya River~

[jian_wen]

[Ohii hug!]

How are you?

[invisible_inuki]

[Hugz back~]

I'm good~ And what about you~?

[Jenova has been wandering around, distracting herself from the anger anger anger that comes of tangling with Cloud, concentrating on healing. But she does notice the fire, and has always been fascinated by this girl.

She edges a little closer in curiosity, stopping at the edges of the light.]

(Can she wade around a little in River's thoughts too?)

[jian_wen]

[oyes she may. River senses Jenova nearby - the air she breathes changes and her little body freezes in place. something wrong, you're not normal I know who you are I know what you are]

Hello.

[it comes out frightened, because she is. she has no idea what she'll do, and no she's lying to herself, she doesn't know, and she doesn't want to, Mother, Mother.]

Mother.

[ladymeteor]

[Jenova cocks her head to look at this strange girl-child, who does what she does as if... by... accident?

Power without knowledge perhaps, or simply too much knowledge?

Still. She smiles a little, regardless. It is good to be acknowledged as what you are, even by a stranger.]

Hello little river. What are you doing?
