Campfire Road

Home Fire

Jake laughs as he gets to his feet, "So, where's mi dad?"

Walker informs him, "On the phone with my dad.
"Seems some upstart took my seat.
"Be glad he is willing to do the bureaucracy thing for us."

Tyres gets to his feet and holds his hand out flat at Dean, "Trust, I won't put it on again."

Dean puts the ring in his palm, "How'd you get out of it?"

Tyres admits, "I followed Jazapie's light, was all I could see."

Jazapie reluctantly lets Goreapine turn from his arms, "I shone through them, when Anubis came to fight for love.

"I lead Tyres back to the surface.
"He was is some kind of form selection mood."

Tyres nods, "That's the power of Fanolping disguise.

"Every facet of our personalities, has a form.

"The one you call Anubis is my natural metaphysical state.
"This is natural physical state."

Jake gives a cocky smirk, "Just wish I'd had a chance to pet the doggy."

Tyres slaps the back of Jake's head, "Don't you have another quest still."

Jake nods, "Yes, but I say we ditch Walker, he's feeling punchy."

Walker makes a show of rolling his eyes at Jake, "My place is to guard the Queen of Agartha until her security can be arranged."

Jake shrugs, "Cool, while you're doing that, will you get Eric to set up to burn my house down at sunrise?

"I've like an hour to get this done, I think."

Jazapie looks to the eastern sky, "First light is in about... say eighty minutes."

Walker taunts, "Ya get until the sphere clears the horizon, but I think we've all lost."

Jazapie bobs his head, "You could be right, that just means we all get reduced penalties."

Jake shakes his head, "Do I need to know in the next hour?"

Jazapie sasses, "I'm fine with you never finding out we bet on your questing this morning."

Jake rolls his head, "It's just the four of us, take us to your kitchen, Angel face."

Jazapie flares his eyes and blows air, "Asked you not to call me that."

Jake smirks, "Fine, Goreapine, my Delicious Delight, would you shine Tyres and me up Campfire Road, please?"

Goreapine sighs, "How could you complain about his affection?"

Jazapie takes the three into his light and rushes them to his kitchen before he admits, "It's embarrassing when you know Walker is laughing his ass off in his head."

They all four chuckle as they turn to Jeretite, sleeping in the air supported by vines.

Jazapie questions, "So, normally we spend a few days trying to get enough sedative in her to get her to relax enough to let go.
"What's your plan?"

Jake gives a cocky smirk, "I'm gonna give her what she wants and hope it doesn't knock me out."

He astros and steps from his body.
He steps into the dirt tray and starts climbing vines as he makes his way out to the main plant mass.

Jake caresses the plant as he moves his astro reflection through her vines.
He hears a soft low hum, but it seems far off in the cosmos.
He gets to the base of the bud and lays out on her vines.
She cradles him as she wraps about his reflection.
