Fifth Floor Common Room, Tuesday Afternoon

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John was a failure of a big brother for never sharing the wonders of chocolate with his sibling.  He decided to make it up to his little sister by gathering every sort of chocolate he could get his hands on for a tasting in the common room. 

Which meant there was chocolate cake, chocolate pie, and chocolate pudding, in addition to a wide variety of chocolate candy, spread all over the common room.  Far too much chocolate for two people.

"Okay, so, I think you should try the plain chocolate candy bar first.  It's both classic and pure," he recommended to Faile.

[ooc: CR is open with totally moddable chocolates.]

"Huh?" John had no clue what Rodney was talking about. He'd just grabbed stuff off the shelves.

Rodney narrowed in on the box that had caught his attention. "Oh, wow. This is really high end French chocolate. I haven't seen this in ages." He selected a truffle and moaned as he bit into it.

"Enjoying that chocolate?" John asked after hearing Rodney's moan.

[mrodneymckay.livejournal.com]

"Mmmph," Rodney responded enthusiastically.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"I'll take that as a yes," John decided.

[mrodneymckay.livejournal.com]

Rodney swallowed. Loudly. "Definitely. Someone around here has really good taste. I'm impressed." He took a moment to look at the spread and gesture at it. "So, you must have been having quite a craving. And people say I overindulge," he rolled his eyes.

"Well, when you get a craving, they say the best thing to do is go wild with it," John did not leer.

[mrodneymckay.livejournal.com]

"There's something to be admired about that level of enthusiasm," Rodney nodded. "Do you think that applies to everything?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"I dunno about everything, but I like to think I'm enthusiastic about things I'm passionate about," John said thoughtfully.

[mrodneymckay.livejournal.com]

Guh.

"Yes, well, I would hope that those things go hand in hand."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

Uh huh.

"What are you enthusiastic about, Rodney? Other than food."

[mrodneymckay.livejournal.com]

"Oh, you know, the usual. Theoretical astrophysics, math, advanced technology, science fiction, sex," he threw in just to see John's reaction.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"All completely worthwhile pursuits," John said. "Except maybe the astrophysics. How much use is that anyway?" Oh with the teasing.

[mrodneymckay.livejournal.com]

"Naturally," he nodded. "Hey! Do I mock your helicopter obsession? No, I don't think so," he answered his own question. "And with everything you know is true after coming to this place, you better believe it's useful. That knowledge could save your life one day, just you wait," he said while pointing at John.

John chuckled at him, "I dunno Rodney, it all sounds like a lotta mumbo jumbo to me."

[mrodneymckay.livejournal.com]

"Sometimes, John, you are such a plebeian," Rodney shook his head in mock resignation.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Hey," John pouted pouted. "I took the Mensa test. I'm no plebe."

[mrodneymckay.livejournal.com]

"I suppose I should be glad you know what the word means. You took the test for Mensa? Hooray for you," Rodney rolled his eyes.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"I like that you assume I didn't pass, McKay. Says a lot about your expectations," John smirked, gnawing on a chocolate twizzler like thing.

[mrodneymckay.livejournal.com]

"What? Are you trying to say that you actually passed the Mensa test?" He asked incredulously.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John shrugged, "Maybe."

[mrodneymckay.livejournal.com]

"Well, either you did or you didn't. It's not like there's a third option," Rodney was starting to get frustrated.
