Light 'em up
Characters: EVERYBODY
Date: sundown on November 29th to sunrise on November 30th
Location: A plaza in Earth
Situation: The population of Keeliai could use a little warmth. So Chekov set stuff on fire and invited everyone over.
Warnings/Rating: None, but please put something in your comment header if necessary.
On Wednesday, everyone received the following audio message (and text attachments in English and Russian) from (1) Pavel Chekov in their inboxes:
“Hello. I would like to invite you to a bonfire in Earth sector on Friday at sundown. Please feel free to bring friends.”
A plaza in Earth sector is buzzing with activity-- most of it from one young man. He spends the day lugging folding tables and pushing wheelbarrows of supplies into the plaza. As the day wears on, several entrepreneurial kedan set up stands. By sundown, the plaza is lit up with three large, roaring bonfires. Most of the ice and snow has melted away, leaving a few patches here and there in the furthest corners of the plaza. One patch a bit away from the fires is completely devoid of snow and ice-- it's a sort of dance floor or performance area. Some music is playing out of one of the upper windows of the buildings overlooking the plaza. It's varies from quick and frenzied to slow and soothing. Of course, anyone is welcome to claim the floor to perform a magic show or do a little singing of their own.
There's a hodgepodge of various folding tables set with the essentials: raw vegetables, the closest equivalent of marshmallows Chekov could find (next to the chocolate and graham cracker substitutes), and sausages. There are skewers and tongs lying around should anyone need them. He also brought a few jugs of water, which are refilled periodically. It's not much, but it's the best he could do with a limited budget and not a lot of time. The kedan have taken the opportunity to sell what Chekov couldn't bring-- hot beverages and food, blankets, scarves and gloves, and several other simple wares.
It's not a grand setup, but there are roaring bonfires, food, and good company.

"So you broke up with him now because you two break up later on." Yeah, sure, that made perfect sense to her. "That's..."
Honestly? She didn't even know what that was. Zatanna had never really been the kind of person to plan that far ahead. Live for the moment, and all that jazz. As it was, she was doing everything in her power to try to change certain events that were supposed to happen in her Future. So the idea of letting it completely overtake her present?
Not even an option.
"Are you okay?' First and foremost. Breakups were hard.
no subject
And also to flip out, go into the Avatar State while emotionally unstable and almost kill Jim for trying to stop her from going on a rampage thanks to the self defense mechanism of the Avatar State. Find and eliminate the problem that is comprising the Avatar. In this case, Mako.
"It’s best for both us. I think he understands that."
no subject
The sentiment was genuine. She couldn't even imagine; even if the Future told her that she and Dick wouldn't be together in the long run...she didn't care. They were happy now.
no subject
She took a bite of the second sausage and tilted her head briefly in some kind of affirmation.
A twitch of her lips precedes the small smirk she gives. "So why aren’t you over there with him? This is kind of a date, isn’t it?"
no subject
But that was a conversation for another time.
"We thought we'd give the poor marshmallows a break." She picked on up from a nearby bowl, turning it over in her hands for a moment before shrugging and popping it into her mouth. "For some reason, we couldn't keep our focus on the fire long enough to not burn every one we tried to roast. Can't imagine why that would be."
no subject
"Pretty sure you can come up with a rough idea." One small toss and Korra catches the cheese bite in her mouth. The food is that good and she makes a mental note to pick up another plate from vendors.
"How long have you two been together?"
no subject
But that was only officially; she'd known him--as both Dick and Robin--for well over a year.
no subject
And by proxy, so is Dick.
"You guys want to borrow my igloo?" Leaning in on her arm so she’s closer to Zee, a slyly grinning Korra points behind her with her thumb. Kissing in public didn’t bother her and Mako, but she knows some people aren’t fond it.
Kind of like how she wasn’t fond of Mako kissing Asami in front of her.
no subject
"No, we're good. Besides, the fire would melt it. And I was kind of enjoying the warmth. A lot." Plus, public displays of affection were the least of her concerns.
no subject
She knows she’s poor company right now, coming out is starting to feel like a mistake. Maybe she misjudged just how much time she needed. "You should go be with him. The night’s not going to last forever."
no subject
The chill of the air felt wonderful. But so did body heat. She really couldn't complain about either.
"We live next door to each other, Korra. I see him all the time. Besides...I'll go back in a few. Right now, I'm hanging out with you. Unless this is your way of telling me to get lost." A tease.
no subject
I’m not.
"And all I’ve got are these." A wave of the skewer holding her sausages before Korra takes another bite out of one. "Besides, I usually get you into trouble."
no subject
She prove that she wasn't going anywhere just yet, she reached down for another marshmallow, defiantly popping it into her mouth. Take that.
no subject
"Alright. What do bonfires mean back your world, what do you all do when you're around them?"
no subject
Grinning, she took a moment to let that sink in. There were a few extra sticks nearby, so she took one for herself, and one for Korra as soon as the older girl was done reacting to her last statement, and stuck a pair of marshmallows on each end. Hers was then immediately held up and over the flame.
"There's no real significant meaning behind them. It gets cold. Fires are warm. Most people like being warm. So we all huddle together and roast things and just enjoy one another's company in the fresh air. That's pretty much all."
no subject
"Huh. I thought there might be more to them. Company part’s nice though." When one side of her marshmallow started to brown, Korra turns it over while staring the flames.
"The fire is nice, isn’t it?"
no subject
"It is. Functional and soothing. And this is going to sound weird...but I've always kind of liked the smell of firewood burning. Never could figure out why, but it brings back a lot of pleasant memories."
no subject
"Probably beats having to wear a lot of layers too." Probably. Korra’s never had to wear more than her pants, shirt, jacket, and boots. Maybe her sleeved gloves every now and then.
Before it can start blackening, Korra brings the marshmallow back and offers it to Zatanna.
no subject

This weather’s downright nice compared to the double negatives the South Pole would be in. Korra’s cold tolerance is ridiculous and the fact that she’s usually radiating heat doesn’t hurt either. Hearing that Zatanna’s not too fussed about the cold either makes her grin.
It’s been so long since she’s been near a fire while it’s snowing. The next time she may get the chance might be the time her dad tells her everything about his past.
"I'm glad I came here."
