Another fun nonsense thread.
Our campfire characters are just there, chilling, waiting for you to log in and choose one of them to go adventuring with. What do they talk about when you’re not there? Do they get along? What about those not hand-chosen to sit at the campfire and instead dwell in the character tab as a faceless nameplate?
The Death Knight and Rogue are sisters/rivals, so I imagine arguments between them are common while the other two just try to tune it out as best they can until swords are drawn.
I’d like to think they sing We Didn’t Start the Fire by Billy Joel while my warlock argues with her incubus.
I think the Druid and Paladin sit and stare at the Dark Iron Death Knight with contempt. The DK has that 1000 yd stare into the fire going on and the happy go lucky Monk just sits and smiles while sipping coffee. All are completely unsure how to safely break the ice.
“Wait, so if you killed Ragnaros then who was I fighting?”
“Who drank the last of the AB Neg?”
“Someone pass the nelf fingers.”
“Nih, your ghoul is digging in the trash again.”
“Dred, your imp trying to ride on my spider again.”
Mine are talking about food, mostly.
“Who brought stuff for smores?”
“We were supposed to bring smores?”
“I wanna roast something.”
“Did you bring something?”
“N-No…”
“Who has a good ghost story?”
Everyone looks at Larisi.
I bet it was just a kobold geomancer in a Ragnaros costume.
It was actually 3 kobolds.
3 kobold geomancers or just 1 geomancer and 2 candle carriers?
Gabnus finally breaks his 1000 yd stare and blinks a couple times then speaks.
“Oooo ahhhh. I get it. You’re a big bad Paladin. Now would you stop trying to sense undead. I’m right here.”
He looks squarely at the Druid.
“And you, Mr. woe is me I lost my home but still like climbing trees. Yeah. You. Pass me the baked beans and a cup of coffee before the hunger overwhelms me.”
I imagine there’d be a lot of bickering over whose turn it is for various things around the camp, like digging latrine pits and setting up the tents, organizing supplies for their next quest, arranging feed for their mounts, who ate all of their snacks, why are we eating wine stew again, etc etc.
An orc and a forsaken sitting with a night elf and a human? Hoooooooo boy.
“Can we file a grievance? All I do, is gather ore and pick weeds. At least you guys get adventure sometimes. THIS IS SLAVE LABOR AND I GET NOTHING FOR IT”
“I wish he’d do something of value in this game.”
“I’m tired of wearing rags. I wish his taste would run a bit more modern.”
“He does have good taste in hats though.”
Most of my campfire warband characters are warrior types. They’re probably nerding out about past battles while my mage just sips tea and nods his head, fearing the impending moment they turn to him and ask him about his glory as he desperately tries to make his life sound more interesting.
Atos meanwhile is behind the bushes, as he would have eaten the wrong berries.
Juspion, Juspeon and Juspiion be like:

But it’s in Draenei.
Meanwhile, Incomplete gazes directly into the fire and questions why she can still hear them after ripping her ears off.
Two of my four, Haf and another, are Auction House alts, left over from the time when you couldn’t send things to yourself cross-faction, so I’d assume they talk about business and profits, all that good stuff.
My tauren druid and Dark Iron hunter probably talk about animals. My DI is an absolutely softie when it comes to her pets (and mounts!) so she probably asks the druid for advice sometimes.
Thanks for making this thread as it allows me to give an obscure fact about Carmen that I don’t think will ever naturally arise.
A particular horse shoe shaped log is always seen at Carmen’s campsites, signs of it being drug are sometimes there but often it looks like it’s been carefully deposited there.
If asked for more information, Carmen will begin questioning if consumption without purpose is ethical or not. Continuous questions about the log could yield interesting results.
Now sitting on the log is Carmen, her eldest daughter, and the girlfriend of said daughter, who is a former Darnassus Sentinel.
So the atmosphere is unusual, Carmen had to recite her record for aiding the Kaldorei and Alliance during the War of Thorns.
Carmen reinforced her story by gifting the Sentinel with an exhaustive list of documents, maps and notes from all her work in the Cenarion Circle.
Upon seeing the sheer density of the journal offered, a burst of laughing began from the daughter and girlfriend, who declined it as politely as you can and seemed both tried and impressed by the encounter.
The fourth spot on the log is of course occupied by the weird rune hound Viscera, who cheats the system and lays in front of Carmen and the fire in optimal foot to tummy, belly rub range.
“Why do we keep running old content for vendor trash to make gold why can’t she just figure out how to use the modern crafting system and abuse the auction house like everyone else”
My campfire is currently:
As a general rule, none of them have much cause to get along. I feel like it’d be very awkward, truthfully. Sarestha’s deeply nationalistic, Edgar’s her polar opposite, caring only for the accrual of personal power. They would dislike each other intensely, with Edgar seeing Sarestha as a pathetic sycophant of the state, and Sarestha seeing Edgar as a self-centred old fool. Fal’therin’s just an old soldier, and one who’s fought on both sides. He’d find the bickering senseless and annoying, and really hope he gets deployed soon just to get away from these idiots. Estiara would look on with disdain as these three deeply darkness-touched outlanders and think to herself how very far the Old World has fallen. Maybe when all this is done the Empire can come and fix things again, make Strom great again… xD
