*Max shrugged* I dunno anything about fabric so.

It could also be completely polyester, which is more likely I think. See how it curls a little bit while burning? *smiles at Max behind his mask*

*max nods, lowering the dress a little more into the fire*

*Carlos watches. To him, Max seems mesmerized. It’s kind of
cute, he thinks. Good for him.*

What if I just dropped it.

Uh, be careful with that. You might get a face-full of
ashes. We don’t have aprons or face-shields or any of that… *Carlos wondered if
the kid would actually do it anyway. God, he hoped not!*

*Max squinted at the dress for about a minute* …. I’m gonna do it

*Carlos looks at him, shocked.* What? No, Max, just lower it
in. Gently.

Yeah, but what if I just… *he moved the stick at an angle and the dress moved about two inches rather quickly*

*Carlos yelps and is about halfway out of his seat. What he
expects to do… he doesn’t know. Grab Max away from the fire?* Oh – Jesus, Max,
don’t do that! Just gently! I don’t want you to get hurt!

Fuck yeah. I think the crown is gone *he picks up the dress with a stick* now for the traitor.

*Makes a slight face* You always talk like that, huh? *he
sits up and watches the dress* Alright, buddy – go for it. Careful with the smoke.

Talk like what? *he moves the stick so the dress is somewhat over the fire*

Well, I’ve said it before I believe, but you have an awfully
foul mouth for a ten-year-old.

So? I don’t see why it’s a big deal.

Well maybe you don’t,
but your… familiar usage of such words can offend some people. Or make them
uncomfortable. It makes you appear exceedingly aggressive and confrontational.

*Max was silent as the dress began to burn slowly as it was still help up on the stick*

*Carlos watches the dress burn* It caught kinda quick, but
it’s taking a bit of time. It must be mostly cotton.

*Max shruged* Kinda over there. *He points over to a clearing where a small fire can be seen*

*looks* Okay. Sorry, I asked when. Sorry – I must’ve mumbled or something. Should we head over
now?

Oh. Well I mean it’s sorta already started so,,

Has it? *he squints in the darkness and can see figures* Oh!
Alright – let’s go! Hey, I brought Starbursts, if kids still like melting
those. *he pulls a bag out of his labcoat with a grin*

We mostly just do s’mores, but, I guess since we’re burning this shit *he holds up the dress and crown bunched up in one hand* we probably won’t do anything but get yelled at, or “politely Scolded.”

*looks at Max* I was planning on sharing with everyone –
they’re a treat to go with smores. Do… you kids not do that?

We’ve never done it before but what’s stopping us now? We’re burning dress-up shit for fucks sake.

These are yummy. I’m sure your counselors would love it.
Then after everyone leaves, you and I can do our thing with the fire.

Sounds good, I guess.

*grins at him and gestures for him to follow* Let’s go then, kiddo! *tottles over to the campfire*

*Max hides the stuff behind his back for heading over*

*Carlos had loads of fun at the campfire. He introduced
himself and his daughter Angela was super happy to see him. She was also introduced
as the newest camper. Eventually, Gwen decided the night was done and started
leading some of the kids back to their tents.*

*it took a few minutes before Max finally convinced David to take the other campers and go but he managed to do it before tossing the stuff infront of the fire* this is gonna be so fuckin’ cool.

*grins at Max* Yeah, it will be. Hey, did you like the
Starbursts? Do you think I should bring them again?

Yeah, they were pretty cool.

So what now do we just throw the stuff in or?

Mask first. *he pulls his handkerchief up over his nose* I
don’t want you damaging your trachea and bronchi from whatever fumes these may
give off. Plastic can be unpredictable when burning. *he grabs a stick one of
the kids was using and offers it to max* Use this to hold the dress and put it
in. I’d suggest slowly – just because it’s cool to watch catch fire when it’s
barely touching the flame. *his eyes squint as he smiles at Max*

*Max takes the handkerchief he was given before out of his pocket and holds it up to his face before taking the sick from carlos and tossing the crown in* r e v o l u t i o n.

*Laughs loudly. He’s happy the kid is having fun* Atta-boy!

*max stared quietly at the crown in the fire for a couple minutes* ……Would this count as arson?

*shrugs* I think It’s only arson if it’s someone else’s
property or people are in danger.

Hm. Damn.

We’re doing it the right
way, Max. Having fun so far?
