favorite campire story!:
There once was a young marumi. This fun-lovin' youngling went on a camping trip with her family. The backpacked deep into the wilderness and got to work setting up camp. As the youngest, this particular marumi didn't have as much to do. They drove the last tent stakes into the ground just as the sun was setting. The family gathered together around the freshly lit campfire to cook and dinner and share stories. During one particular story that the young marumi found boring, she decided to make her own fun. She hoped up, claiming to need to use the bathroom. Her parents reminded her not to wander too far beyond the light of the campfire. She laughed as she agreed, already getting excited about her plan. Her plan was to sneak outside the light, circle around, then quietly approach from the opposite side before jumping out to scare her siblings. It was perfect!
It wasn't a big campsite but she wanted to make sure her family didn't hear her circle around and approach, so she went father outside the camp. because of their late arrival and rushed set-up, no one had had a chance to scope out the area, so it was all unfamiliar to her. She didn't think she had gone far as she began to walk in what she thought was a half-circle to reach the other side of camp. A good chunk of time had passed, and the young one began to feel uneasy. She couldn't see any light from the fire or even smell a waft of smoke. She hadn't meant to go that far after all, but all the trees and bushes began to look the same.
At little panicked now but not willing to give up the surprise just yet, she began to walk faster. Surely, she must be approaching the campfire soon! Any minute now she'd hear her dad's deep grumble, or her siblings laugh. Her poor paws ached and her stomach grumbled but still she walked on, searching for that light.
But the night continued on, and she saw no light.
That little marumi never returned to her campfire.
After a little while, her family had gotten nervous and began calling for her. They called and called and searched all through the night. The next day they got the whole community to search. Weeks went by and the searches slowly dwindled.
That marumi was never seen again...at least not fully fleshed.
Some who camp in those woods claim they've seen her, now with a slightly translucent hue. They say she's drawn to light of the fire. She stuck in limbo, wandering on and on, endlessly searching for her family's campfire. If she spots the crackling glow, she'll come over and sit by the fire. You never hear her approach. You see something out of the corner of your eye and there she sits. But beware! Some claim to have seen friends, family, or even themselves drug off into the night. Once she realizes it's not her family sitting around the flames, she wails in despair. As she rushes off back into the dark, she reaches for whoever is closest to drag them off to join her in her eternal search!
favorite campfire snacks!:
Seared Steak- pan seared steak
Elote campfire corn/Mexican street corn- fire roasted corn on the cob smothered in butter and the perfect blend of cheese and spices
Hot Hot Chocolate- a drink who's consistency is closer to melted chocolate with vanilla, cinnamon, and chili powder added.
S'mores- made with perfectly toasted golden marshmallows, just-beginning-to-melt chocolate, and warm graham crackers
chaotic / neutral / good personality? (optional):
Chaotic neutral- Pyre isn't good or bad. She just does their own thing and lets the world figure itself out. They live by the motto- "you never feel more alive than after a brush with death". Honestly, people should be thanking her for making them appreciate being alive.marumi name: Pyre
