[ Stephen is on deck, on one of the benches, knife and a length of wood in his hand. He's carving away at it, carefully. ]

Anyone here like camping?

[ He glances up at the camera. ]

Thought it might be nice to spend a night in the outdoors. Well, in the Enclosure. Could be fun.

Or it could be a challenge, if it's somewhere like an ice field or the rainforest. [ Little hint of a smile. He looks like he'd enjoy that kind of challenge. ]

[ Ian's obviously never considered that option, but damn if he isn't excited by the idea. Mostly it's a distraction from the fact that he hasn't left his cabin in days. ]

I haven't been camping since ROTC! That'd be so cool! I think I've even still got my camping gear here!

[dinosize]

Ordinary gear, or rated for low temperatures?

[justlikemom]

Military grade. Got me through a winter in Chicago.

[dinosize]

You were homeless?

[anewlanguage]

Yeah I'm a fan of outdoor sleeping.

For the record, ice field is a hell of a trip. Nothing like snow camping if you ask me.

[dinosize]

I've done it before - an ice cave. Maybe the most beautiful night of my life.

[ It has a lot of competition. ]

[anewlanguage]

Yeah I know what you mean. I once had to chop out my own shelter in the snow to sleep in...but I'll be damned if it wasn't the best sleep I ever had.

How many people are volunteering?

[dinosize]

Just a few.

[tucky]

I do. Used to go camping sometimes when I was a kid.

[dinosize]

Where did you live?

[tucky]

I'm from Pennsylvania. We got a lot of woods in my area, It's near the mountains, too.

[dinosize]

Blue Ridge, is it? That's on the east coast of America, isn't it?

[punched_hitler]

I'm in if it's someplace that won't freeze my toes off.

[dinosize]

Where's your sense of adventure?

[punched_hitler]

Lost somewhere in France in 1945.

[dinosize]

I promise, no Nazis.

[youwillgotohell]

You'd prefer an ice field, wouldn't you?

[dinosize]

Have you ever seen one?

[youwillgotohell]

I spent over a year in Ismere. I imagine it can't be much different.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

I can't even remember the last time I really went camping.

[Staying at her parents' lakehouse doesn't exactly count. Sure, it's a little closer to nature, but there's still running water and electricity.]

That would be a lot of fun actually. Although, I don't know how many takers you're going to get with an ice field.

[dinosize]

Maybe a few - the Barge attracts adventurers.

[forgetyourusedtobe]

That's true. Nothing like trying something new anyway.

You can count me in.

late :(

For what purpose?

[dinosize]

For fun.

Humans invented shelters for themselves because they did not wish to be exposed to the elements.

Is it a challenge?
