Lobby: Thursday, All Day (Except Fifth Period): Cookie Table

[the_merriest]

Okay, so: she'd made several dozen cookies last night, and she had actually followed the recipes for once instead of just making things up as she went along. So they weren't, say, Surprise Cookies, but they should be edible, which ... surprise cookies sometimes weren't.

Rikku got a table and set out the cookies - some chocolate chip, some of the peanut butter kind with the fork-marks on top, and some oatmeal raisin - and pulled up a chair. And behind her, she hung the sign she had made.












See, this is why she put the note in the paper. Because she wasn't so great at signs.

She sat down and waited for people to come by. And take some cookies.


[so very, very open! harass Rikku, take some cookies, or both]

"Yeah," Rikku blushed. "Stuck a pillow over it so my roommate's cat wouldn't fall in. Not a good thing. Cookie?"

"Sam Carter didn't bake these, right?"

She'd been trained well.

[the_merriest]

"Nope, I did! And I followed the recipe instead of just making stuff up, 'cause that can have some pretty weird results. And I like the weird results, but these were for other people, so, you know."

"Good plan," Cassie said, snagging a cookie. "About the strangest thing I had last week was a really bad nightmare, so you don't owe anything to me." She smile, reassuringly.

[the_merriest]

Rikku smiled back. "Really? Okay, thanks. Well, I mean, I kinda owe everybody an apology anyway 'cause some really bad things could have happened, I guess? But it's fixed now and hey, cookies."

"Hey, in my book, this just endears you more," Cassie said. "Free cookies and the fact you know when to be apologetic? Completely awesome."

[the_merriest]

Rikku blushed. "Oh. Thank you, that's ... really sweet of you. And hi, I ... don't think we've met, have we? I'm Rikku, and I'm new this semester and so we might have and I just forgot and if I did I'm so sorry. It's been one of those weeks."

[robotboyfetish.livejournal.com]

"I'm new this semester too," Cassie said. "Cassie Lang. And yeah, with all the weird stuff, I can imagine it's been a bit of a blur."

[the_merriest]

"Hi Cassie! And whoa, it's been crazy, hasn't it? I keep thinking I'm used to it and then something else happens and I go, okay, still haven't got the hang of this place." She shook her head. "Like the kids, for one."

[robotboyfetish.livejournal.com]

"I had the joy of not having to deal with any of them," Cassie said. "Which is good, cause the one kid I did run into absolutely hated me for some reason."

[the_merriest]

Rikku swallowed. "Was she blonde with a skateboard? 'Cause Pam said that Bayla hated her, too, and she's usually really nice and so I hope not and if she was rude I am so, so sorry."

"No, it was Cameron's kid," Cassie said. "She just walked right up and said she didn't like me."

[the_merriest]

"Oh." Rikku made a face. "I don't think I met her. I guess I'm glad, 'cause she kinda sounds like a brat."

[robotboyfetish.livejournal.com]

"She stomped on my foot," Cassie said. "Which made me scare her cause it kinda... set me off."

[the_merriest]

Rikku snickered. "I think I would have stomped on hers. I don't think I'm very good with kids."

[robotboyfetish.livejournal.com]

"That may have been better than, uhhh, growing really tall and fuming," Cassie said.

[the_merriest]

Rikku grinned. "I like that. Means she might think twice about doing it again."

[robotboyfetish.livejournal.com]

"Or make her dad really upset with me," Cassie said.

[the_merriest]

Rikku sighed. "Then he should teach his kid not to be a brat."

[robotboyfetish.livejournal.com]

"His excuse was she was five," Cassie said, shrugging. "It's not a big deal, I guess."

[the_merriest]

"No, you're right. That just sucks. I mean, yeah, she's five, but ... I don't know. If I were stomping on people at five, Pops would've said that I deserved whatever I got."

[robotboyfetish.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Cassie said. "I got in enough trouble as a kid myself..." She chuckled. "Not that 14 makes me the epitome of maturity, now."

[the_merriest]

"Hey, I'm 15, and getting into trouble is my specialty." Rikku grinned.

[robotboyfetish.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I didn't exactly stop," Cassie said. "But now it's more sort of a professional choice."
