Nestled at the very edge of the Woods, a giant bonfire blazes in the darkness. Powered by individuals with fire abilities, the glow and warmth of the bonfire extends in a wide arch around the perimeter of the forest, creating ample room for people to roast marshmallows, play music, dance, and celebrate the harvest with warm cups of hot cider.

Students, Citizens, and Staff are all welcome to attend the bonfire.

Morgan fueled the fire just a tad more and then sat back down on her log beside it, she figured if it got weak other fire users could refuel it, so she let go of Magmos' abilities. Magmos was a spirit she rarely got an opportunity to use, as his abilities where very destructive, but he whined about not getting any use and that was annoying. She did her usual and waited for someone else to come to her for conversation.

Appren was sitting down pretty close to the bonfire and stares into it. He was kind of uncomfortable here, he didn't really know anyone. The only reason why he was here was because his family used to have bonfires back home. He laid back and looked up at the stars. At least he wasn't the only one who came to the bonfire. He started to count the stars in the sky and thought about stories that he could write or something, but he probably never will.

Thresher Hugh

As basically one of the wardens of the woods, Thresher was here to monitor the bonfire and ensure everything went smoothly and didn't set the forest ablaze. Even without anything more then his tattered shorts on, the fire felt just a little to hot for the wolfman, so he had set himself up off a little ways from it.

He had managed to get a table from the from the school. The old wolf stood behind piles of marshmallows, skewers, and other supplies for the event. Behind the table Thresher had a couple provisions of his own, though the school made him keep them mostly out of sight. A couple of deer carcasses had been prepped for butchering, and Thresher would hand out the chucks of venison for roasting at the fire.


Emily Kirkpatrick

Emily sat timidly off the one of the far sides of the bonfire. She had a marshmellow'd skewer in hand and was seeing to roasting the little globs of sugar to perfection, even though she was devouring the sweetness of the happiness and revelry around her.

Her outfit wasn't anything fancy today, because despite trying her hardest, Emily just couldn't find an acceptable reason for her to get dressed up for a bonfire. It was, however, quite an appropriate atmosphere for a tarot reading. She dug her deck out of her pocket and idly fiddled with the cards.

She hadn't expected to find anyone who would want her to read them at the party with so many other, better things to do, but she did like to have the right setting when she read for herself. She pulled a card at random from the deck and glanced at it. Fortune... Interesting.


Mina


Mina looked so very out of place in her bartender outfit just staring into the flames of the bonfire. It was all so very curious. "Why is so much warmth needed? Is it a festivity to celebrate the warmth, or is the fire for the celebration?" She idly mumbled to herself as she made an effort to try and understand the reasoning.

Pulling out a sheet of paper from one of her pockets, Mina looked around the edge of the flames for a stick that wasn't entirely consumed. Charcoal was supposed to be used for drawings, right? Eventually she found one and reach in to pluck it out of the heat, singing one of her gloves in the process. It didn't seem to bother her though, as she started marking the paper with the ashen stick, experimenting with the medium.

RICHARD TRICKSON

Richard Trickson smiled to himself as he watched the flames of the bonfire flicker in front of him. The rocker was tuning one of his guitars, an old Acoustic he had picked up from a secondhand shop a few years ago. Her name was Cinnamon Apple. She didn't get enough love, but Richard Trickson felt Cherry Apple was too intense for a bonfire.

He began to strum the guitar, playing a nameless tune that filled the air. The cheerful music lifted peoples spirits, and Richard Trickson couldn't help but smile as he played. The log he was sitting on was big enough for others to come sit by him, should they want.

Milk

Milk was leaning against a tree in the background, watching the fire burn. She was here as a chaperon, and did not particularly see the point. It was a big fire, so what?

The fighter at least had a small bag of onions to keep her sated through the night. She pulled one out and took a bite out of it, smiling softly at the familiar taste.

She made for a pretty strange sight honestly.

Appren sighed and got up, he had enough of laying down and being awkwardly silent. He looked around at the other people, trying to so who would be the most approachable. He walked towards the closest person, who was Morgan.
"Hello." He waved, hoping he wasn't being rude or anything.

Irregularly, Hiatus
Volkan had only one reason to be here, and he was glad he had it. He was a fire manipulator, and he was helping with keeping the gigantic bonfire alive, letting it dance without him.

That's the only thing he was doing though. Aside from standing alone on one side of the fire and observing other people gather on the other sides. He wanted to get to know the other people of the academy, but he, a guy so huge, was nervous and afraid it wouldn't work out. He had scars all over his face, more hidden under his t-shirt and jeans; he was huge, too; and he was no expert in looking friendly. In short, he acknowledged that his looks repelled people. Lionel was, after all, the only crazy person who's called him good-looking.

It would've been nice to feel the warmth of Lionel's company tonight. Or anyoneelse's company, for that matter. But Volkan had to settle with the all too familiar warmth of the bonfire, the only warmth he was expecting to feel.

Rory Voltaire

Rory was new to the school and in his orientation he had been told about this bonfire taking place in the woods nearby. He was told that it would be a great place to mingle with fellow students in a relaxed atmosphere. Upon arriving the blonde eyed the group of individuals gathered already. Honestly, most of them seemed to be bored out of their minds.

The boy sighed as he moved towards the wolf man policing the necessary items for this event to take place and took up a skewer and marshmallow. Pushing the white ball of fluff on to the tip he stuck it out over the fire and stood beside Emily Kirkpatrick. The girl being one of the few who didn't look bored drew /his interest, plus the cards were interesting in themselves. "Hey." He greeted her, "How can you read those things accurately in the dark?"

Emilie Kiden


Emilie was there at the fire's edge. The fire was warm against her naturally cold skin and she was enjoying it more than words could say but she found herself struggling out of the laces lining her platformed boots with her cold rear in the dirt. The girl had on opaque black tights, which was unusual for her, but the rest of her outfit, a purple plaid skirt and plain black short sleeved top, wasn't.

She kicked the platforms off and to the side before crawling forward on hands and knees towards the table Thresher Hugh was watching over. Since the girl's line of sight was beneath most other's eye level she was looking for the source of the tantalizing smell of something freshly killed. She moved beneath the table and crawled out the other side to sit back on her heels next to the wolf man. Staring up at him with unblinking, lavender eyes Emilie pointed towards her eyes and then shrugged her shoulders as though to ask where the eyes of the freshly killed animal were without actually speaking the question.

Emily Kirkpatrick

Emily looked up at the man with a small smile. "W-Well, there is a f-fire... The l-lighting actually h-helps with the r-reading... B-But that doesn't have t-to do with telling which are which th-though..."

She licked her lips a little, tasting the emotions in the air and trying to get a sense of this person she was talking to. "I-I'm Emily... I-I-It's nice to m-meet you..."


Thresher Hugh

Thresher's nose quickly picked up the odd girl as she neared the table, and his eyes searched around for her before falling on her form next to his feet. His expression obviously conveyed confusion as he wasn't used to this girls form of body language.

"Stand up girl, ask your question." Staring a wolf in the eyes was a challenge, but Thresher had been taught that humans expected eye contact, and her scent said this girl was at least part human.

[split] The Bonfire

Skyroger

Among the first to attend the bonfire event is Sky. After walking through the dark forest, he spots a warm flickering glow in the distance. When the leaves and branches gave way to the sight and smell of the bonfire, he immediately darted towards it, jinking from the occasional pyrokinetic in the way and settled a mere few feet away from the source of warmth.
He immediately felt the stinging sensation on his face as he sat too close to it, making him back up a few inches until he was comfortable.

"This reminds me of the climate back home, except that the heat is all around." he though while reminiscing about his adventures back home with his group, all the while being oblivious to the increasing number of people in the area.
