Fourth Floor Common Room [Sunday Evening]

[grenfelzer.livejournal.com]

Carmela's not that great a cook (well, she *can* manage a pretty decent pie, thanks to this summer's workshop, but that's baking, technically), so instead she's ordered a few pizzas and plunked them down on the table in the common room for anyone who'd like any. That done, she turns her attention to the TV to ask it (yes, ask it) if there's anything good on. Which is why the television's flipping through channels seemingly on its own as Carmela sits on the couch with a slice of pizza.

"What is that exquisite smell?" asked Anne, who had followed her (still very nice, if you asked her) nose toward the common room.

"Pizza!" Carmela grins, instantly recognising the girl as one of her classmates from the pie workshop. The red hair is kind of unmistakable. "Help yourself to a slice or two," she says, waving at the stack of plates and then the boxes of pizza.

"But . . . what is it?" Anne is still looking very quizzically at the stack of boxes, sniffing as if trying to drink in the aroma of pizza, while at the same time managing to look very confused by it.

Naminé nodded to the red-haired girl with a smile. "Excuse me, but have we met? I don't believe I recall."

"I'm afraid not," Anne said apologetically, her attempt at a curtsey thwarted by the slice of pizza in her hand. "At least, not that I can remember, and I'd like to think I would. Anne Shirley, of Avonlea, Prince Edward Island."

"My new cologne?" Billy snickered.

"Not unless you're particularly fond of smelling like herbs and tomatoes," Anne said absently, still sniffing at the air dreamily.

One might wonder what a television thought was good. "This is what I love about the common rooms, there's food."

Apparently the television was a Bitterwoman fan, because it kept flipping back to the channel currently showing reruns. "I'm pretty sure it's possible to go for months at a time without actually cooking for yourself," Carmela confides. "Which is why I figured it was my turn to contribute the free food."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"I think it might be close to my turn too." Billy mused. "Give a little back to the community. And thank you for feeding us this evening."

The smell of pizza was very familiar. Hoshi thanked her lucky stars that they had it in this century too. She took a quick look around the common room as she entered. It looked comfortable and big enough that it wouldn't trigger her claustrophobia.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Hoshi right?"

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

"Yes. You're Billy?" she asked.

[grenfelzer.livejournal.com]

"Hoshi!" Carmela grins cheerfully and waves her into the room. "Come in, sit down, have pizza."

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

"Thank you," said Hoshi politely, taking a plate and helping herself to a slice of cheese pizza.

Naminé nodded to the other girl with a smile. "Have you wandered in for the pizza, too?"

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

"Yes, it smells delicious," said Hoshi. "I only get to have it occasionally at home. My grandmother always had us eating Japanese food at home so we could learn her mother's recipes."

Naminé heard sounds from the common room below hers, and grabbed her sketchpad to hop down. "Is this food for everyone?" she asked hopefully. "I'm not on this floor."

"Hey Namine," Carmela says with a smile. "Of course there is, you don't need to live here to have some. I'm just offering it as a way to attract company, and you're company, so that works,"

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

"That's very kind of you," Naminé smiled. "And it smells delicious. I hope you get rather a crowd, then. Although not too many, or you might run out of pizza. An angry pizza-less mob might be unfortunate."

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Well you'll have to renounce your loyalty to the floor you're from," Billy teased. "But we repealed the obligatory hazing."

[palestshadow.livejournal.com]

"I do rather like the fifth floor," Naminé mused. "But they've never offered me pizza. All right, then. But how do you know I won't rescind my allegiance once the pizza is gone? I might only be fooling you all to get some of your food, you know."

Jenny followed the smell of pizza down the hall from her room. "I smell Italian," she announced from the door to the common room. "More importantly, I see Italian."

Naminé waved with a smile. "Carmela is planning to lure people in to the common room with a cunning use of pizza," she explained. "Her plot appears to be working, so far."

[grenfelzer.livejournal.com]

"There's pizza if you'd like some," Carmela offers.
