A store by the campgrounds- Indiana- after classes

[throughaphase]

After classes, a portal picked people up from the causeway and transported them to Indiana. (An Indiana, it should be said, where no one had passed any stupid laws in the last week and therefore no one had to feel weird about spending money or not there.) But before moving on to the campgrounds, there'd be a trip to the store for any other supplies that might be needed.

While tents and sleeping bags were provided, any food or last-minute things you might need for a weekend in the woods should probably be gotten now. Happy shopping!


[For those on the trip!]

Shopping!

[throughaphase]

Camping supplies and food are moddable. Because people trying to co-shop for three days in the woods might possibly be interesting.

"...is it really ice cream if it's not, you know, iced?" Irene wondered, holding up the packet a little away from her, as though the faux-cream might bite through the plastic.

Irene, not being much of an ice cream girl most days, was very willing to be wrong, here. But she had the sinking feeling she was not, and that she had made a terrible mistake in agreeing to go on this trip.

(She somehow hadn't realized that when she'd shown up and noticed that the boots (http://us.burberry.com/house-check-detail-riding-boots-p39430951) she'd brought were probably not hiking-appropriate -- at least they were waterproofed, and she had acquiesced to putting her hair in a ponytail today. Camping!) (http://www.mountainhouse.com/M/product/53524.html) ()

"Is that like astronaut ice cream?" Kitty asked.

"It's room temperature ice cream in a little bag," Irene said, frowning and shaking it a little. "Are astronauts fond of ice cream? I didn't know that was part of their whole...astronaut thing."

"There's certain things they can't really have in space because it's, you know, space, so they dehydrate it. I used to get it in the museum gift shops when I was a kid," Kitty said. "It's dry, but I think you should get it for the experience."

Re: Shopping!

[begmetwice.livejournal.com]

Irene just looked at her. "The experience of eating dry ice cream?" she asked, because maybe Kitty meant some other, better experience.

Re: Shopping!

[throughaphase]

"Yep. Just to say you did it," she said.

Re: Shopping!

"I feel as though this is going to be a common theme this weekend," Irene noted, a touch suspiciously.

She'd get the stupid ice cream, though. She could always throw it at one of the children if it was awful.

"Not a fan of camping?" Kitty asked, partly because she was a brat.

Re: Shopping!

[throughaphase]

Mostly Kitty was making sure they had the typical camping foods, like hot dogs and s'mores. Did it say something about her that that's where her focus was? She should probably get like, bottled water and batteries to look responsible.

Mara, who had a few vibroblades tucked into her boots, was trying to look around like she had no idea what to buy.

"So...marshmallows?"

Re: Shopping!

[notconflicted]

"That seems like a classic, right?" Sia said. Not that she'd ever really done much of that...

Re: Shopping!

[giveherahand]

Mara nodded. "And...chocolate, right?"

Re: Shopping!

[notconflicted]

"And the cracker things," Sia said. "I've never been sure how you cook one of those without everything falling into the fire..."

Re: Shopping!

[giveherahand]

Mara looked relieved. "I'm so glad I'm not the only one! It doesn't seem like a cracker would go on a stick very easily."

She was picking out Ritz crackers. No, Mara.

Re: Shopping!

[notconflicted]

Buttery deliciousness!

"Does it matter what kind of cracker?" Sia asked. "Should we choose a few?"

Re: Shopping!

[giveherahand]

"Maybe not the ones with the cheese and peanut butter," Mara said, reaching past the nasty gross crackers to get the Wheat Thins.

Teeny tiny s'mores?

Parker was shop.... lifting.

Mostly on reflex. A pocket knife here. Some of those crackly light sticks there.

Also chocolate.

She was too good to be seen doing it, there was just ... stuff off the shelves, a couple minutes after she passes by.

"Grab some graham crackers," Eliot advised. "For s'mores."

Re: Shopping!

[whoisalicewhite.livejournal.com]

"Ooo." Yeah, there goes a box of those. "Why graham crackers? Why not cookies?"

Re: Shopping!

[vdistinctive]

"'Cause they're sweet enough with the chocolate and marshmallow," Eliot said. Also probably because they fell apart when you looked at them funny, and making a giant mess was part of the point.

Re: Shopping!

[whoisalicewhite.livejournal.com]

More chocolate, disappearing.

"It doesn't have to be a special kind of chocolate, does it?" Parker double-checked, then hummed. "Did you go camping when you were a toddler? Or have you just gone lots?"

Re: Shopping!

[vdistinctive]

"Dunno," Eliot said. "Probably. Dad was a fan. Don't remember a whole lot of my toddler years."

Re: Shopping!

[whoisalicewhite.livejournal.com]

"You don't? Hunh." Weird. Parker was convinced she did.

Then again, given what they were like, this might not have been a good thing.

"Was your dad like Nate?"

The actual camping post will go up in a few hours!

Ftr I went on one camping trip in high school where we made a stop like this and because we were all 15/16 we left with s'mores and Jolt Cola and nothing else and NO ONE SLEPT.
