On the Second Floor: Shared Kitchen

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

::Out of the shared kitchen on floor two, the sounds of humming emanate, accompanied by the smells of baking::

::Cally is currently baking cookies... messily. She has flour hand prints on her black shirt and pants, not to mention on her face and in her hair::

::She continues to hum happily as she begins work on the next batch of cookie mix::

...cookies? What plot is this? Delicious smells used to lure me into a false sense of security. I am a bit peckish...

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Oh, hey... I just pulled out the first batch to cool, so you're welcome to grab one once they reach an edible temperature...

::sets down the container of chocolate frosting she was holding, then holds out her hand::

Hi. I'm Cally... I don't think I've met you yet.

6. Number 6. Pleasure.

Making cookies for your own enjoyment, or to some other end?

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm working on a few batches to give out across campus... I'm gonna be running for Homecoming Queen, so, after some talk with my friends, I decided some cookies with "Vote Cally" frosted on them might help get my name out. ::smiles::

Number Six? That's an interesting name... where are you from?

[ooc: I totally just had to start playing the song "The Prisoner" by Iron Maiden because of you ::snicker::]

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

Hm. Interesting. *takes a cookie* As far as I can tell, you have my vote.

I was born in New York, but lived in England all my life. Until now, in this place.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Well, thanks. ::smiles::

Is England nicer than here? I'm not really familiar with all the places on the planet, to be honest... I'm from really far away. Still haven't gotten really settled here.

Ahha! It's you. *grins at Cally* I just got done probably embarrassing poor Felix. What are you up to?

::smiles:: Hey Dom... just making some cookies to pass out, for my homecoming queen campaign. Trying to get my name out, and all. Rogue said baking cookies was a good plan, so, here I am!

Re: *wanders in from the hall*

[littleluck.livejournal.com]

Oh, hey. Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. What kind are you making? We could frost 'em with your name or something.

At the very least, people should be grateful to get food that didn't come from the cafeteria.

::smiles, and holds up the tube of chocolate frosting::

Already planned on it. I figured just plain sugar cookies for the first batch... I might branch out if I get bored with the recipe.

::wipes some flour out of her hair::

Though boring wouldn't be my exact term to describe what has happened so far. ::laugh::

Re: *wanders in from the hall*

[littleluck.livejournal.com]

It kind of looks like the cookies exploded all over the place in here. *shrugs* Which is better than having the stove explode, which is what happened the last time I tired baking.

::giggles:: I have the same problem with toasters. Every time I want a nice piece of wheat toast, I have to pry heating coils out of the wall afterwards.

::looks over at the first batch on the racks::

I think they're ready for frosting... care to help? ::offers the frosting tube to Domino::

Re: *wanders in from the hall*

[littleluck.livejournal.com]

Sure! *takes the tube and starts writing the messages on the cookies* Toasters are evil, evil appliances and should be exterminated for the good of mankind. I think they have a secret toast-burning agenda.

Re: *wanders in from the hall*

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

::laughs:: If toasters are meant to be exterminated, I've already done more than my fair share for the crusade.

::grabs the other tube of frosting and begins writing::

So... I've been wondering about... ::chews on her lower lip:: About the, uhh... ::waves her hand around her left eye::. That.

Re: *wanders in from the hall*

[littleluck.livejournal.com]

Oh! That. Uh... it's always been like that. *shrugs* I'm kinda used to it.

Re: *wanders in from the hall*

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

::smiles:: I like it... it's... cute.

::looks down at the chocolate frosting for a second::

::giggles as she gets an idea, and squeezes out some frosting onto her hand, and quickly smears it in a patch around her own left eye::

::desperately wishes she had a mirror::

I dunno... you think it suits me? ::beaming::

Re: *wanders in from the hall*

[littleluck.livejournal.com]

*laughs* I think you're going to attract some strange looks that way.

And possibly ants.

Re: *wanders in from the hall*

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

::smiles, and begins wiping at the frosting with the back of her hand::

Ants might be bad. ::laughs, and finishes wiping the frosting away... mostly::

::starts frosting the cookies again, instead of herself::

::finishes a cookie and realizes it reads "Vote Caly"::

Oops! I guess I get to eat this one already. ::picks it up and takes a bite::

So... got a date for Homecoming yet?

Re: *wanders in from the hall*

[littleluck.livejournal.com]

*grins* Uh, your buddy Felix asked me, actually. He sounded so nervous on the voicemail. It was cute.

Re: *wanders in from the hall*

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

::stops chewing her cookie for a second, her mouth open::

::after a moment, she starts smiling::

Sparky asked you? Awwww.... ::grins, and the swallows the rest of her cookie::

Well, you better treat him right, okay? ::still smiling:: I don't want to have to deal with all heart-broken Sparky and juggle Captain Oblivious at the same time that night.

::buzzer on the oven goes off::

Oooh, batch two complete! ::grabs oven mitts and hops over and pulls out the next set of sugar cookies::

Re: *wanders in from the hall*

[littleluck.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Kind of random, but... I'm not doing anything otherwise, so why not, right? He's certainly nice enough.

I promise I won't break him. Too much. Unless he likes it. I'm not the kinda girl to play headgames with a guy, though, I promise. God. This means I have to buy a dress. *wrinkles nose* Well, I have a little while, still.

*keeps icing the already cooled cookies*
So, are you going to be handing these out around the dorm, or what?

Re: *wanders in from the hall*

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Dorms, classes, that sort of thing.

I still have to buy a dress too... I think Rogue and I were going to do that together... but I'm sure you'd be welcome to join us, if you like. We were gonna go dress shopping, then watch... Hugh Grant movies while eating ice cream. Can't say I know who the guy is, but Rogue seemed excited about him...
