3rd Floor Common Room - 6PM Fandom Time - PARTY!!!

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

At promply 6:00, Victor can be heard running up and down the stairs yelling "FREE FOOD! 3RD FLOOR!" Any who decides to investigate will find several tables full of various foods set up in the third floor common room. A delicious combination of smells wafts from the display, and several students are standing and waiting to serve you. The entrees are:

Table 1: Sweedish Meatballs, Various Pickled Herrings, and Pancakes

Table 2: Homemade Spaghetti with Garlic Bread

Table 3: Coq au vin (Basically rooster stew cooked with red wine)

Table 4: Cock and Bull Stew (Chicken, beef cubes, tomatoes, potatoes, spices)

Table 5: Warm Apple Pie (Whipped Cream optional)

Table 6: Rice Balls and Sushi, courtesy of Sakura! Yum!

There are a couple of unfolded tables just in case someone decides to add something to the buffet. There is also a table filled with disposable plates, cups, bowls, and utensils, as well as napkins. In the corner are a variety of bottled juices and sodas in an ice chest.

And, as promised, there are Twinkies. Boxes and boxes of Twinkies.

So what are you waiting for? Dig in! Mingle! Celebrate diversity!

Grab some food!

Don't worry, it's all edible, and will not make you break into ABBA solos.

Jake, who was on his way down again to investigate the sudden disturbance of the coffee-force, grabbed a plate of apple pie before heading off again.

"Whoa! Hold on a moment there. You're one of the coffee hounds, right?"

Togusa walked in, following his nose, a little more quietly than the norm. He grabbed some of the stew, also taking a peice of garlic bread.

With time to kill before the big secret guys-only meeting, Anders heads up to the third floor as promised and, well, helps himself to some of everything. Like he does.

Except the Twinkies, because they scare him.

Alphonse waves to Anders from where he was in the room. "Well, now we're in a 'less wierder' place to meet more properly, huh? And no snow monsters this time."

Pippi is well pleased by anybody who is more scared of Twinkies then they are of Surströmming (http://community.livejournal.com/fandomhighdorms/455080.html?thread=20468136#t20468136).

"Hey, Anders!" Victor called with a wave. "Great to see ya! Where's Cally?"

Re: Grab some food!

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"Yo, Anders!" Pip called. "Think we'll miss anything at the... thing?"

Jack walks in; drawn by the prospect of free food. He gets some pancakes, spaghetti, garlic bread, swedish meatballs and apple pie.

"Mmm, food."

Re: Grab some food!

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

Victor and the mun waved as a new guy came in.

"Hey, how's it going? I don't remember seeing you around school."

Re: Grab some food!

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

"I'd offer you some stew, but it looks like you're pretty good as it is," Pip said. "Don't think I've met you yet? My name's Pip Bernadette."

Re: Grab some food!

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

"Yes!" greeted Pippi. "And all of it is eat-able!"

Kara wanders into the third floor common room and scans the room, as if she were looking for someone.

Mingle!

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

Talk among yourselves and dare someone to fit ten Twinkies in their mouth.

Re: Mingle!

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter looks dubiously at the twinkie box.

He still doesn't understand their allure, and he has tried them.

Re: Mingle!

[section9-togusa.livejournal.com]

"Hey guys," Togusa said as he sat down with the bread and stew. "How's it going?"

Re: Mingle!

[sakuracchyan.livejournal.com]

Sakura wanders up to the third floor, a little late. She walks over to Victor. "Hey," she says awkwardly. "I'm late, sorry. Rice takes forever to cook, and I wanted to contribute to the food." She thrusts a platter of ornate-looking riceballs and sushi at him.

Nadia had decided it would be a very good idea for her to show up at the party and try to mend fences. She had decided it would be a good idea not to try to cook something, as for her, cooking tended to involve large fires in trashcans. She'd wanted to bring something to honor her country, so she had with her a selection of Argentine pop, though not the same kind she'd danced to with Orlin that weekend.

She'd decided she would go in and pretend everything was entirely normal in front of all the other people, and calmly and cheerfully reassure both Walter and Victor that she had no intentions of ever doing anything about her crush, ever, ever, ever.

Then she'd gotten to the party and hit an emotional wall.

So she was standing in hover mode by the doorway, just kinda watching.

Krycek wandered onto the third floor, covered in pink glitter and not happy about it, obviously on the look out for someone. He didn't seem to see whoever it was, however, and passed through the party before heading upstairs.

Talk to the chefs!

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

Pippi, Alphonse, Pip, Walter, and Victor (and maybe more, who knows?) worked hard to make this stuff. Don't be afraid to say thanks, or ask exactly what's in the stuff.

Re: Talk to the chefs!

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

The sweedish meatballs are, of course, delightful.

Pippi also has a platter containing Surströmming served with boiled potatoes and onions and rolled into a slice of tunnbröd, a type of thin, flat unleavened bread. There is also an unopened can of Surströmming (http://data.s-info.se/data_page/1027/images/ssurstrommingJPG.jpg).
If you try surströmming, or fermented Baltic herring, it is likely that you will never forget it. If the can is opened a strong, foul smell is released, the result of a fermentation process. This method of preservation was invented long ago, when brining food was quite expensive due to the costs of salt. When fermentation was used, on the other hand, just enough salt was required to keep the fish from rottening. Although lots of people do not like it, you have to eat it a couple of times before you really appreciate the taste, there is a hard core of surströmming devotees, most of them in the north of the Sweden. Pippi is actually from an area that is more to the south, but she is one of these devotees.

Alphonse hoped the spaghetti didn't come out too bad; it was his first time attempting it, after all (of course, he had a little help from the others).

Re: Talk to the chefs!

Pip came in a bit late with his food. "This is literally the only other French thing I know how to make," he said as he set down the food. "Not sure how I managed to make it in time."

Because you know we usually need one.
