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.]

"Alright," Faile said picking one up and sniffing it. "It smells good," she observed. "Sweet."

Luke was searching for free food out for a walk.

"Hello," he said politely to the people in the common room. "Oooh. Chocolate?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"It's the best American chocolate I could find," John nodded at her assessments. "I've always been fond of the way the squares are pre-drawn."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Luke," John smiled warmly. "Yeah, lots of chocolate. I might have gone overboard, but I wanted to give a good sampling."

[falcon-or-blade.livejournal.com]

"Why?" Faile asked, not really understanding what he meant. She switched the bar to her other hand as it began to melt.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Look at the bar, see the squares?"

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"A good sampling?" he repeated, perplexed.

[falcon-or-blade.livejournal.com]

She turned the bar over to look at the top, getting more chocolate on her fingers in the process. "Are they to make it easier to measure?" she asked.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Of different types of chocolate," John said. "'Cause Faile's never had any."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"No, you break off a square to eat," he said, looking at her chocolatey fingers. "You may want to eat it before it becomes one with your hand."

[falcon-or-blade.livejournal.com]

"It is a bit messy," Faile said and broke off a row of squares. She set the rest of the bar down and broke off one square and carefully putting it in her mouth. She looked at John with an expression of slight surprise as it melted on her tongue.

"And that is tragic," Luke said, nodding his head vigorously. "Oh. Don't put chocolate ice cream into hot chocolate. It's not as good as it should be."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Ice cream in hot chocolate?" John didn't think that sounded appealing. "I take it that was an experiment gone wrong?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

He wasn't sure what the look meant, so he asked, "Good?"

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Luke nodded again. "Katara and I were trying out new things when we were both new to Earth food," he explained. "It's just kind of...gloppy. This looks much better."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Chocolate is a really important Earth food to try," John said. "But gloppy chocolate is where I draw the line."

[falcon-or-blade.livejournal.com]

She nodded. "Very," she said. "It is creamier than I thought it would be."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Cool. Try something else," John started looking for something different. "How 'bout one with nuts?"

[falcon-or-blade.livejournal.com]

Faile quickly slipped the other two squares of chocolate into her mouth and held out her hands. "How do I stop this?" she asked, indicating the chocolate on her hands.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, sorry," John shrugged, "You've just gotta eat faster."

[falcon-or-blade.livejournal.com]

Faile laughed. "I will try and remember that," she said and started to lick her fingers for lack of anything to clean them on.

Rodney was drawn to the Common Room by the smells wafting into the hallway. His nose was twitching a bit as he walked in. "Is that, is that really La Maison du Chocolat?" He asked in wonder.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John went rummaging into the cabinets and returned with paper towels. "Here," he offered them to her. "Just in case it gets messier."

[falcon-or-blade.livejournal.com]

"Thank you," she said and finished wiping her hands on the towel. She then looked at the selection of chocolates. "Which ones have nuts?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

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