The Camping Trip
Argo had called up, somewhat thrilled about going on another trip. Then again, anything seemed to excite Argo or make him wish to adventure these days! Dolemeck was a bit hesitant to go, as EVERY adventure he went on with Argo led to some misadventure or chaos breaking out. But this one sounded... normal. They would rent some horses and go to Montana for a camping trip. No monsters, no crazy ex-girlfriends, no strippers... just camping with the guys. It sounded so normal, Dolemeck had to pinch himself to see if he was having a dream.

Being as this was so normal, Dolemeck did not tell Tyler. Besides, he was a grown man and did not need to tell him everything anymore, right? He left a note on the fridge that he would be gone for a few days, and that he left Tyler a few cooked meals as an act of kindness (and because eating out was expensive). Dolemeck even managed to get time off of work as a barista and model to be able to go on this little adventure, so there was not a single loose end.

Upon his arrival in Montana, Dolemeck waited for Argo's plane to arrive. After-all, he knew where they were going!

The driving got the OUTRAGEOUS approval, so clearly it was fine.

Phil thumped Dolomeck's back once and grinned. "Buck up, Argo liked it." Then, with a spring in his step, he left Dolomeck to follow Argo towards the cabin and check out the place.

"Niiiice Argo. Was worried there'd be sleeping bags and such nonsense on this trip. Good going," he grinned and absent-mindedly gave the god a light punch in the arm in approval.

Once Dolemeck managed to get control of himself and his stomach, he got up and started to head over to the pair. He was hoping for sleeping bags, honestly. But this was nice, too. His hand shook badly as he reached into his pocket for his medicine bottle and popped a pill in his mouth, then moved to his other coat pocket to take out a small water bottle and start drinking from it.

"Aye, this is impressive..." He admitted, looking at Argo and Phil, then back at the cabin. "So... now what?"

	"I made arrangements for the fridge to be stocked, and for a few other things as well," Argo said. "Tonight, we shall make a bondfire and roast food, tell stories. Tomorrow, we shall venture forth and see what nature has to offer us!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Stories huh?" Phil smirked. "Well it's not camping if we don't tell some scary stories..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"No, no scary stories!" Dolemeck look terrified at Phil. He was in fear of the man and what sort of tales he could produce! Instead, Dolemeck rushed into the house and headed for the now stocked kitchen.

He hung his coat up on the back of a chair, grabbed an apron that hung over the stove, and began to gather ingredients from the rather full fridge to make food for his friends.

	"Do not concern yourself, Dolemeck," Argo said. "We are going to do this the manly way! Hot dogs, roasted over an open flame!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	night_terrors 2013-12-06 05:34 am UTC (link)
	"Talk about straight to the point," he said with an amused smirk as he watched Dolomeck head directly to the kitchen. "I'm with Argo, open roasting food. You can make that other stuff at home, it's frickin' campfire time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dolemecknight 2013-12-06 10:25 pm UTC (link)
	"Well, can I not at least prepare the chicken in here like we did in my era?" He asked somewhat meekly, still in that apron. "I can season it in here, then bring it outside and cut some branches down to make a proper roaster with the fire pit... is that not manly?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2013-12-07 12:39 am UTC (link)
	Argo considered this, then shrugged. "Fine, fine," he said. "Come, Phil. Let us get the fire set up and see if we cannot fashion a spit." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Phil chuckled and shook his head at Dolomeck before strolling outside to go watch Argo do the manly fire pit thing. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Dolemeck came running outside, eventually. He had a seasoned chicken in a pan to be roasted in the fire pit, as well as a bag of hot dogs, like Argo wanted. He moved to place the food on a tree stump, before working to cut down some proper branches in order to make a rotisserie of sorts. The then skewered the chicken on a long stick, resting it on two branches so it would not fall into the fire itself.

"Well, that was easy!" he smiled proudly, carefully rotating the chicken that was on the stick, making sure it was cooking well. "Argo, I got you those... Hot Dogs you desired. I have no clue what they are, but how could I deny you food that you desired?"

	Argo got the hot dogs set up to cook as well, keeping a careful eye on them. "In truth, Dolemeck, I know not exactly what they are either, save that they are not actually made from dog." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	night_terrors 2013-12-10 12:31 am UTC (link)
	Seriously...these two. Phil rolled his eyes. "Usually a mix of meats, mostly beef and pork. You can get all beef though, those are good." He held out his hand impatiently. "Hand over the package, let's see what you bought." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dolemecknight 2013-12-10 01:03 am UTC (link)
	Dolemeck handed Phil the package of hot dogs he found in the kitchen. They said "Ballpark Beef Franks" on the package. He then turned back to rotating the chicken over the fire. "It was all I saw in there, Phil. And it was what Argo wanted, aye?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2013-12-10 01:46 am UTC (link)
	Argo kept his own attention on making sure that the hot dogs were cooking properly. "Ah, beef and pork. Two of the grandest foods in the realm. Along with fowl and fish and mutton and..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	night_terrors 2013-12-10 03:40 am UTC (link)
	"There you go," he said, throwing his hands up and gesturing to the packaging. "All beef on this one. Appropriate given you Argo." "No meal is a good meal without some meat to it. Vegetarians...I couldn't live like that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dolemecknight 2013-12-10 04:26 am UTC (link)
	"What is a Vegetarian? Is it some disease?" he asked innocently, still focusing on cooking that chicken. No one was going to get food poisoning on his watch! (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2013-12-10 11:36 pm UTC (link)
	"Ah!" Argo said. "I have dated the occasional vegetarian. They do not believe in eating meat." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	night_terrors 2013-12-11 07:39 am UTC (link)
	"Disease wouldn't be far off. Don't eat meat, they don't believe in eating meat and even worse...most of them try to get you not to eat meat." He turns to Argo. "'Dated'? As in actually went out with more than let's say twice. Thought you slept with them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dolemecknight 2013-12-11 08:02 am UTC (link)
	"How can people not eat meat!? How can they live without mutton... or chicken... or beef!?" Dolemeck was clearly in shock over this. "I swear, I shall never understand this era." He then turned to Argo, still roasting the chicken quite carefully over the pit. "Aye, when you say "date", does that mean more than going to your bed?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	son_of_hercules 2013-12-12 12:29 am UTC (link)
	Argo looked a little annoyed. "I'll have you know I do more than sleep with women. I go out to dinner, or out for drinks and dancing, or perhaps to a movie. Sometimes, I serenade them." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	night_terrors 2013-12-12 12:41 am UTC (link)
	Phil looked skeptical. "Uh huh. And do you do all this once, then sleep with them, and move onto the next lovely lady?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dolemecknight 2013-12-12 01:23 am UTC (link)
	"I concur with Phil." Dolemeck nodded as he checked on the chicken. "That is a single date and not "dating". "Dating" implies more than one date, and sex is not always involved." He secretly prayed no one brought up how he could only get perhaps three or five dates in before he is dumped. Often cruelly so. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Now, now," Argo said. "I do occasionally see some women more than one night." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	night_terrors 2013-12-13 11:42 pm UTC (link)
	An amused 'yeah sure' look on his face and he turned his hotdog on his stick. "Dating also implies seeing the woman regularly, and not just booty calls." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
