Fifth Floor Common Room - Monday Morning

Marie was starting to feel a lot better and decided that, in honor of Fall Break, she was going to bake muffins in the common room.



[open! i'm on slow play at work though.]

Never underestimate a hungry Conner's instinct for muffins. "Hey, Marie!" he said, striding in with his miniature soccer ball under one arm. "You're looking much better than the last time I saw you." This was a good thing. Especially if he got food out of it.

"I'm feeling a lot better than the last time you saw me," Marie replied. "Help yourself to a muffin." She nodded in the direction of a batch of blueberry that were done as she finished mixing a batch of banana nut.

"Nowhere in my book is any of that a bad thing," Conner declared, and didn't waste any time taking her up on that 'help yourself' suggestion. "You ready for a week without classes?"

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

Marie nodded. "It probably would have been better if it would have been last week," she said. "But on the upside, by the end of break, I should be back to one hundred percent. How've you been?"

Cally saw Conner with the ball, and just started snickering.

"Nice to know we're all mature around here," Conner said dryly. Yeah, because he was such a paragon of maturity himself.

"Sorry," she said. "It's just... that reminds me waaaaay too much of what Anders used to do."

Willow waved. "Hey, Conner."

[connernotconnor.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Willow!" Conner started to wave at her with his right hand, which had a muffin in it, then the left, which had a soccer ball in it. In the end, he shrugged and just nodded instead. "Gonna make it through a whole week without classes?"

Willow looked sad and woeful. "It's a cruel punishment and I don't understand why they're forcing us to go through it!"

Cally wandered into the common room, beckoned by the smell of muffins.

"Oh, hi Marie," she said.

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

"Hi, Cally," Marie greeted. "Help yourself to a muffin. How was your weekend?"

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Really, really nice," Cally said. "I was off in San Francisco for most of it."

[untouchableskin.livejournal.com]

"Sounds nice," Marie said. "Visiting friends?"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Hi, Cally," Willow said around a bite of muffin.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally waved at Willow. "Heeey," she said. "You have a good weekend?"

JD poked his head into the common room. He smelled food and, usually, common room food was free food.

JD is suddenly distracted by the image of free-range muffins, roaming the open prairie until one attacks. He jumps back and puts his arms up over his face defensively.

"Don't eat me noble muffin!"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"I'm pretty sure muffins are vegetarians," Willow offered, helpfully.

[girlsnamehere.livejournal.com]

JD peeked out from behind his fingers, observing a perfectly normal common room, devoid of roving, vengeful muffins.

"Of course. I knew that." His eyes shift from side to side.

JD then proceeds to stuff an entire muffin in his mouth before realizing that he's never actually introduced himself to the redheaded vision before him. He makes a sweeping bow, mouth still full of muffin.

"Mmmmf... JmmfDmmf."

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

Cally waved at JD. "Hey," she said. "Long time no see."

[girlsnamehere.livejournal.com]

JD, mouth full of muffin, opted not to talk and instead waved enthusiastically at Cally.

"Ooo, muffins!" Willow said as she came in. "Yay for food!"

"Are those muffins?" Summer asked as she wandered into the common room.

[sogothcally.livejournal.com]

"Hey Summer," Cally said. "I think they are. They smell and taste like muffins. So I'd be really scared if they weren't."

[absolutesnark]

"Hi Cally," Summer replied, reaching for a muffin. "Figured I'd ask first. You never really know around here. And I find myself saying that a lot lately."
