Welcome to Camp Camp

Cecil was waiting in Carlos’ new lab after finally getting Station Management to agree to a vacation. He was excited to surprise his Significant Outsider, having not told him that he was going to visit him or that he got time off. Sitting on an empty table in his old Scouts uniform, Cecil watched the door impatiently.

Carlos had been out collecting soil samples from around the volcano. He wanted to know how long science could tell him that the volcano had been innactive.

Eventually Carlos did come back to his temporary lab – a tent with a lot of mobile equipment set up inside along with a cot. Carlos walked inside, but then stopped when he saw who was there.

“Ceec? What are you doing here?”

Cecil grew excited when he heard Carlos coming up to the tent, waving at Carlos, hopping down from the table.

“Carlos! You’re finally back!” He said with a wide grin. “I finally got Station Managment to agree to a vacation and I missed you. So I thought I would visit you.”

Carlos blinked, surprised. “Uh… r-really? That’s…” His face broke out into a grin. “That’s great! I had wondered if you would try to come because I said I’d be studying an extinct volcano…” He put down his samples in his cot and came up to hug Cecil.

Cecil quickly hugged Carlos back, enjoying the comfort of his embrace again. “That sounds really…neat! Tell me about it,” he said, smiling at him as he fixed his messed up uniform. He glanced around the cot.

Carlos smiled at him. “Of course! Oh, first of all… I have some news to break to you. So, the volcano, Sleepy Peak Peak… do you know what volcanoes are, sweet?”

Cecil makes a bit of a face as he tries to remember what Carlos said about Volcanos last time. “The fire ‘mountains’?” He asked for clarification, but still listening intently.

Carlos nodded. “Yes. I just want you to know… you’re okay with being close to a mountain, right? I know you still question their existence, so…”

“Don’t tell me I mixed up salt with sugar.” (probably in coffee or something)

“Okay,” Tony gasped hoarsely in between hard coughs. “I’ll just…suffer in silence.” He let out another long series of coughs, but the corners of his mouth were turned up in a smirk, and he was looking at Carlos with a merry gleam in his eyes.

Carlos snorted softly and reached to take the offending cup of coffee away. “You want me to make you a new one?” he asked.

“That depends,” Tony grinned without coughing this time, “are you going to run a sample of it through the chem analyzer before you give it to me?” He was laughing silently, kind of enjoying Carlos’s unintentional knack of breaking him out of a rut.

Carlos smiled sheepishly, glancing away. “Uh… would you like me to?” he asked. It was a joke, obviously, but Carlos was playing along. Maybe he’ll do it just to make sure Stark knew that it hadn’t been on purpose… Carlos didn’t know what the hell happened. He suspected his own cup was also compromised.

Tony flashed a fond grin at Carlos and chuckled. “Either you’re stumped on something, have one of your not-fully-formed ‘Eurika’ ideas, or someone has become your latest distraction. Which one is it?” He asked teasingly.

“Huh?” Carlos asked. “Oh, no, I was just wondering if I have to make myself a new cup too. Probably… heh. I like my sugar.” What did Stark mean by ‘someone’?

“I’ll, uh… take this and be back in a bit,” he then told his boss, lifting the cup in illustration.

Tony glided out of his seat and to the other side of Carlos. "Aaaah-d-d-d-d-nah-nah-nah
-nah

,“ he halted in front of Carlos with glittering eyes and a boyish grin. "Didn’t anybody tell you it’s very bad manners to completely dodge an employers question when he’s trying to show interest in your work and or personal life.” He put up his hands to emphasis a ‘pause’ in the currently one-sided conversation. "Granted, I have no business asking about your personal life, although, should you happen to want to share details about any good fortune you may have had, I’d be more than happy to join celebrating your reason for happiness. Even if it’s work happiness, I more than understand that, so don’t feel the need to keep it to yourself, that is, if you don’t want to.“

Carlos had only barely stopped before running into Stark when he stood in front of him. Carlos was honestly a little confused – his personal life? Why would anyone want to know about that?

“Heh, I have a personal life?” Carlos asked facetiously, matching Stark’s grin. He wanted to know about happiness in Carlos’ life? “As for good fortune… you know, I accidentally gave my boss a cup of coffee with salt in it instead of sugar today. But the kicker is he didn’t fire me! Talk about great luck, huh?” Carlos was still grinning to show that he was joking.

Because that’s what he did – he joked. Carlos didn’t know where Stark’s concern was, if he had any, so he wasn’t sure if he should take the other man’s comments in sincerity. He’d see how his boss reacted to the joke first.

Awe…. That made Carlos’ heart melt a little.

“You’re too good to me,” Carlos said softly, still clinging onto Hancock’s hand. He rubbed his thumbs over the other’s knuckles and the back of his hand.

“That ain’t possible, darlin’.” With a smile, the ghoul leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to his lips then gave his hand a little squeeze as he pulled back again to look into Carlos’ eyes. “I’d give up anythin’ to keep ya around, sweetheart, you mean the whole world to me and I wouldn’t wanna do anything to screw things up between us.”

Carlos smiled at him. “I’m pretty sure you won’t,” he said. “I… I think I’ve got a pretty good idea of what I’ve walked into.” Admittedly, Carlos didn’t expect any of this. But things just… seemed to fall in place. He wasn’t going to question it too much – not when he and Hancock have such a good thing going.

Yes…..? Who are you?

Really?
But they only use one? To be irrefutable you need to use like… Ten… And
the other person needs a sense of humor. *smiling*

Again, it’s depending on the situation.

True, you’d get a lot further in a bar like that than on the street

That’s not what I mean… I mean, a lot folks in bars wouldn’t appreciate it either probably. Just… I mean, a good rule is not to expect anything out of it and be prepared to laugh, I guess.

Well yeah, you gotta see how people react to it, read the mood.

Uh huh, exactly. They’re more of ice breakers rather than pick-up lines.

Yeah! Wait…. Are there any good pick up lines

No. None at all.

So all pick up lines are dumb pick up lines

I mean, pretty much. I’ve never heard a good one in my life.

Heck yeah, absolutely! Going to the store!

Neil’s probably busy at the science camp. I’d say fire pit.

Alright. Let’s head there.

*Max nodded and started walking over.*

Okay. So, Max, do you have goggles? You should always wear goggles when doing science.

*he shook his head* nope.

Ah. Well, luckily, I have a spare. *he sets the sweets down on one of the benches and reaches into his pockets. He pulls out a couple pairs of goggles and offers one set to Max*

*Max took the goggles* do you just have these on hand all the time?

I’m a scientist. Lab safety is no joke. *smiles at him*

*he shrugged* Alright.

Okay. So lets set this up. Let me see if I have a piece of paper we can put at the bottom of the funnel while we lead it with the mentos… *he searches his pockets. He takes out his wallet and pulls out a business card for something or another that he’d forgotten about ever picking up.*

*max grabs tge funnel from his pocket and opens the mentos about halfway.*

Okay. Let’s get started. Are your goggles on, Max? *he slips on his own and makes sure they fit.
