2nd floor common room, afternoon

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

This week was just weird. So Cameron had gathered all the needed ingredients and headed back to the dorms to use the kitchen in the 2nd floor common room to make brownies. It couldn't be that much harder from chocolate cake, could it?

((Am unexpectedly getting dragged out of the house. AFK for a couple of hours, but I'll pick up as soon as I get home. Back.))

Molly was just cleaning up the last of the campaign posters for Patty Simcox that she had spent all of yesterday afternoon making when she saw Cameron.

"Hey, Cam," she said, shoving one last poster further into the trash can. "What are you doing?"

"Brownies," Cameron motioned to the mess in front of him.

"Can I watch?" Molly asked. She didn't wait for a response though. Walking over, she hopped up to sit on the counter where she could see, but wouldn't be in the way. "Maybe I can figure out what I did wrong with mine."

"Sure," Cameron absently scratched his cheek, spreading some baking powder. "I've never actually made brownies, though."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

Molly grinned. "I know you can make omelets," she said. "Have you ever baked anything before?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Chocolate cake. Which was actually pretty good," he said, somewhat proudly.

"Brownies can't be that different," she said, secretly a little disappointed. Watching other people flail around in class was fun. Oh, well. Maybe she really could pick up some pointers.

"Guess we'll find out soon enough," he motioned to a paper on the table. "I got my mom's recipe. Usually I just watch her make them, though."

"This should be fun then," Molly said and leaned back against the cupboards. "Oh, how was detention yesterday?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Weirdest ever," Cameron looked slightly disturbed.

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"What happened?" Molly asked curiously.

Cameron was concentrating on the brownies, keeping his head low. "I got tackled by a muppet pig."

[bruiser-in-pink.livejournal.com]

"A muppet pig? Why did the pig tackle you? Were you playing football?"

Cally peeked her head into the common room, her arms gripped preacariously around a large box of her things.

"I smell baking supplies!" She said, with a laugh.

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"You've got an excellent nose," Cameron replied with a small grin.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, well, I was living with a cupcake addict for several months," Cally said. She wandered in and set down the box with a bit of a clunk. "Don't suppose I could get your help moving my stuff in the next couple days, could I?"

The reference to Anders made him stop for a moment, but he nodded. "Sure. Where are you moving to?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Fifth floor," Cally said. "Five-Oh-Eight, to be exact. Though I kinda promised Anders I'd let him help, so I'm not moving most of it, yet. You know, erm, assuming he comes back."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron frowned. "What do you mean? He left?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"He took off for a CPL exam," Cally said. "On Friday. Said they might offer him a spot on a team, already."

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

Cameron blinked. "For pyramid? Nice of him to let people know."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"I only found out cause I saw him sitting with his bags on Friday," Cally said. "Though not telling me really didn't come as much of a surprise, I guess." Cally shrugged. "He said he's most likely comin' back, though."

Cameron tilted his head. "Is it that bad between you two?" he asked gently.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally shook her head. "Not bad, just. . . awkward, I guess. We both did some weird stuff after the breakup, you know?"

[cameronmitchell.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," he did know that. "I think it's mandatory. You just have to make a fool out of yourself so you can get it or something."
