"I suppose you'll just have to find out, then!" Ellis cracked open some marshmallows, graham crackers, and chocolate. He stuck on marshmallow at the end of his stick, hanging it over the fire. "Step one: roast a 'mallow."
xinoehp512 he/him Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 Gerald reached into his arm and pulled out a long, dangerous-looking spike. He took a marshmallow, carefully placed it on the spike, and held it over the fire. "Like this?"

xinoehp512 he/him Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 "Don't worry, I'm pretty sure this is a railroad spike," replied Gerald. "It's not the murdery kind."

"O...kay." Ellis cleared his throat. "So, preferably, you're going to want to cook that until it's all golden-brown. Unfortunately, it rarely turns out that way, but hey, marshmallows are marshmallows, am I right?"
xinoehp512 he/him Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 "Tautologies are true," agreed Gerald. "It's... not supposed to be burning, is it?"

"I mean, I'd put it out until it melts off your... ah, spike, but there's nothing wrong with a burnt marshmallow."
xinoehp512 he/him Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 Gerald carefully dunked the marshmallow in the bucket of saltwater from his arm. "Like so?"

"Uhhh... no." Ellis handed him a new marshmallow. "Wet marshmallows are no bueno. Just blow it out. Like this." He lit his marshmallow on fire, then blew it out.
xinoehp512 he/him Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 "Ah, okay," said Gerald, sticking his new marshmallow directly at the base to light it on fire.

He finished his fourth. "Apparently it takes four. I'm hungry for dessert. Anyone else?" "Me me me!!!" Melody reached over and grabbed some marshmallows, stuffing one in her mouth while she speared three others on her stick.

xinoehp512 he/him Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 "...oh," said Gerald, gazing at his charred marshmallow. "Whoops." He tried another, careful not to stick it in the flames this time.

xinoehp512 he/him Posted January 21, 2021 Posted January 21, 2021 Gerald accepted one gratefully. He then hung their awkwardly, uncertain of what to do next.
Condensation she/her Posted January 21, 2021 Author Posted January 21, 2021 "Now take some chocolate and some graham crackers, and put them all together like this!" Melody demonstrated. "It's delicious!" She took a huge bite and grinned at Gerald; lips covered in sticky marshmallow, melted chocolate, and graham cracker crumbs.
