Main Campfire, Friday evening

Deciding she couldn't face the heat and humidity of the early afternoon Virginia summer, Sam had gone back to her room after the Doctor's class, taken a hot shower (because it was different, thank you), then decided to try something. Something people would appreciate.

Chocolate chip cookies. They printed the recipe right on the package, and she was getting better. She'd taken out the mixing bowls and the ingredients, except for the vanilla. Sam had climbed up on the counter and reached into the cupboard, fumbling around until she'd found what she was looking for. It had smelled vaguely like vanilla to Sam, so she'd measured it out and dumped it into the bowl with the wet ingredients.

She'd stirred and mixed and portioned and baked.

And now, several hours later, there was a plate of innocent looking chocolate chip cookies on the picnic table. They weren't perfect by any stretch of the imagination--some were burnt, some were undercooked, some were torn, but they were cookies.

Next to it was a hand-lettered sign that said: Help yourself!--Sam


[ooc: Okay, how this works is--if you signed up for the plot, have a cookie (or two). They'll taste a little weird, because there's no vanilla in them, but they should still be edible. You also don't have to eat them at the campfire--you can just ping, grab one or two, and nosh later. The effects won't kick in until tomorrow, though, so you can still do whatever you want to do tonight. The post itself is open to all, though.]

"Oh how nice!"

Pippi nabs a cookie and starts to flounce off munching it.

Walter had something better than cookies and skipped them, settling down to eat a brownie or two from last night's baking endeavor instead. Still, he was there to be sociable.

On his way out of the campsite down to the beach, Dean passed by the picnic table and saw the cookies. He didn't recognise the handwriting so he assumed it was the Sam that wasn't his brother and he remembered some of the cooking assignments the other Sam had brought back to the cabin last session.

But still, cookies! They didn't look perfect but he'd eaten worse. With a shrug, he grabbed up a couple and munched on them as he continued on towards the beach.

Jude waved sociably as he ambled over and snagged himself a couple of cookies. "Hey bro, how's it hangin'?"

[identity profile] strongestgirl.livejournal.com 2006-07-22 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
Pippi caught Walter walking up out of the corner of her eye and flounced her way back.

"Hey you." she said munching a cookie that's a little burnt.

Walter waved back and shrugged, petting Pup when the hellpuppy poked his nose out from under his leg. "Just another day. How are you?"

[identity profile] walter-n-wires.livejournal.com 2006-07-22 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
"Hey." Walter held up his brownie in greeting while Pup ambled over to give her a friendly yap.

"Hi Pup!" Pippi squeed and finished off the cookie.

She held both arms out to the adorable little hellpuppy.

Oooh, cookies. Ivanova decided to treat herself to nibbling on one as she sprawled by the campfire, stretching her feet towards the fire. Alright, maybe a couple of cookies.

Cookies were good for hangovers, right?

Even if Alanna had cured that earlier?

Anakin grabbed a couple of cookies just in case, waved at Sam, stuck one into his mouth, and took the rest back to his alcove.

He wasn't exactly up for making a lot of eye contact tonight and his mun was going afk, yay.

"Hey Teach." tim grinned.

[identity profile] dude-its-jude.livejournal.com 2006-07-22 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
Jude shrugged. "Eh, I'm okay. It's too hot for me." He nodded at the hellpuppy. "Hey, little dog-dude."

[identity profile] suzotchka.livejournal.com 2006-07-22 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
Ivanova nodded in greeting, resisting the urge to look over her shoulder for someone else. "Desmond."

[identity profile] tyler-gone.livejournal.com 2006-07-22 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
Ooh. Cookies.

Tyler took two slightly underdone ones and ate them in big bites.

"Same here. It doesn't get this hot back home." Regardless of 21st century English weather trends.

Pup wagged gleefully at being acknowledged and yapped at Jude.

[identity profile] walter-n-wires.livejournal.com 2006-07-22 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
Pup scampered over to jump up at her knees. He was having a good day and seemed oblivious and/or impervious to the heat.

[identity profile] dude-its-jude.livejournal.com 2006-07-22 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm from Canada, dude. It's like, illegal for it to get this hot."

Jude held out a bit of cookie to the dog. They tasted a bit funny, but hey, they were still cookies.

[identity profile] strongestgirl.livejournal.com 2006-07-22 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
Pippi gathered up Pup, oblivious and/or impervious to his little hellpuppy claws and gave him a big snuggly hug.

"How was your eye appointment?" she asked Walter.

[identity profile] walter-n-wires.livejournal.com 2006-07-22 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
Pup gave the cookie a sniff, but seemed more interested in jumping up to try to lick Jude's face.

"He's on a liquid diet," Walter explained.

[identity profile] walter-n-wires.livejournal.com 2006-07-22 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
Walter shrugged and watched Pup cuddling with Pippi with an odd smile on his face. "I'll have lenses next week. The doctor showed me how to put the lense in my eye, which is something completely unlike fun, but it's better than things are now."

[identity profile] dude-its-jude.livejournal.com 2006-07-22 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
Jude shrugged and popped the rest of the cookie into his mouth. He might go for another . . .

He leaned back a bit to get out of the way of Pup's tongue, almost overbalancing on his heels.

[identity profile] walter-n-wires.livejournal.com 2006-07-22 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
Pup pounced, scrabbling at Jude's thighs for purchase.

Walter chuckled, thinking about his earlier conversation with Alucard.

[identity profile] dude-its-jude.livejournal.com 2006-07-22 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
"Dog-dude!" Jude yelped, sprawling backwards. "Not cool."

[identity profile] walter-n-wires.livejournal.com 2006-07-22 12:49 am (UTC)(link)
Walter whistled for Pup and snapped his fingers, making the hellpuppy give him a reproachful look and give Jude's hand a last lick before trotting back over to Walter for ear scratches.

"I'm sorry about that. He's very excitable."

[identity profile] strongestgirl.livejournal.com 2006-07-22 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
"It's not natural to float something on your eye." Pippi nodded giving hellpuppy noogies. "But they won't get knocked off your face like glasses."
