Fifth Floor Common Room, Thursday Evening

[wasthecuteone]

Petra was, she would readily admit, not what one would call a great cook. She could do the basics and maybe even get a little creative from time to time, and she could catch and clean a fish and cook it over the campfire like a pro, but she wasn't about to start whipping out five-course gourmet meals. But she was pretty confident in her ability to follow directions, and she'd been poking around on the internet earlier when she found the perfect recipe for the club fair tomorrow: cupcakes. And not just any cupcakes, but rainbow cupcakes. They were so cute, so cheerful, so on-theme, so delicious!

Sure, there were a lot of fiddly steps involved in making the layers come out right, but as long as she took her time and read through carefully, and didn't freak out when some of the yellow batter somehow got in her hair, it was all good. She even made the frosting, although she was tempted to just use Funfetti. Also, her apron was super cute, if she did say so herself.

((Open common room is open! But Petra'll swat your hand with a spatula if you try to take one of her cupcakes. They're for tomorrow.

Well. Maybe if you're really nice she'll let you sample one for quality control.))

Rilla was putting up her final round of completely over-glittered Student Council posters:

RILLA BLYTHE FOR STUDENT COUNCIL!
DON'T FORGET TO VOTE TOMORROW!!
It was a little more difficult to do when she had Jims with her. She'd wish for three arms, but around here it might actually happen.

Fourth Floor Common Room | Thursday Evening

Elphaba was unhappy. She'd just been figuring out what sort of things she wanted to explore after getting done with school in Fandom, and now she'd gotten a letter from her father informing her that she'd be attending Shiz University, not for her own edification but instead to act as her sister's caretaker.

The note about how it was so gracious of the school to let Elphaba also actually attend classes while seeing to her sister's needs was the part that really had gotten under her skin. So instead now she was sitting in the common room, the TV showing some insane talk show with a redheaded gentleman host, and she was eating some vegan cookies. Because even when she was eating out of anger, she stuck to her metaphorical moral guns.
