Second Floor Common Room; Saturday Night.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

Turtle was partially bored and Turtle had been sitting in her room, trying to think of even more ways to try to situate herself in a standing where she'd be a good, easy choice for her fellow sophomores to vote in to represent them in the student council. A small rumble from her stomach and a reminder of her sweet tooth had the perfect idea: food, of course! Sweet, to be specific! Cupcakes!

There was one problem. Turtle wasn't exactly much of a cook. Bad cupcakes could have bad results. She considered just going to J,GOB, getting some, and sharing them, but that didn't seem to reflect well on her tenacity. She thought a little harder.

Oh, sure, there were still J,GOB cupcakes there, yes, for those who wouldn't want to wait. But Turtle had also picked up a great many supplies for the opportunity for people to make their own cupcakes to their own tastes, the things scattered all around the kitchen and a ridiculous amount of pans and toppings and everything. Quite a nice spread. And, subtly, a seemingly unfinished "Vote for Turtle" sign placed on the counter, as if Turtle had merely just paused her work for the 'spontaneous' cupcake smörgåsbord.

Now, hopefully some people who could actually make them well would show up. Currently, though, Turtle was trying her hand at ultra-sugar-Pixi-Stix-Gumboreo Cupcakes.

Beauty was headed toward the stables, textbook and pen in hand, murmuring Latin vocabulary under her breath, when she passed by the door to the common room and noticed that someone was cooking something.

This reminded her that she hadn't had any dinner.

So she stepped in and looked around curiously, wondering if this was one of those times she'd been told of, when her dorm-mates were randomly sharing food.

"Hi!" Turtle greeting the girl with an exceptionally bright smile as she didn't quite know her yet and this exercise was even better if it was meeting new people. "What's up? Wanna help make cupcakes?"

[comelyhonour.livejournal.com]

"Hello," Beauty said in reply, smiling as well, although somewhat less brightly and a little more shyly. "I would be happy to help, but I don't know what it is you're making."

Well, some kind of cakes, obviously. Cakes you made in cups? That was interesting. Maybe cakes you ate in cups. After some of the things she'd seen in the cafeteria, Beauty wasn't ruling anything out.

Willow came in with one might call a wistful look in her eyes. "Food?"

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Food!" Turtle answered triumphantly with a grin and a happy wave of her mixing whisk with super sugar batter clinging to it. "I'm making cupcakes. I kinda hope other people will, too, because I've got lots of stuff."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"What's ready now?" Willow asked. "Because I am fully prepared to eat frosting direcly from the can if I have to."

[comelyhonour.livejournal.com]

Beauty turned from the recipe she was reading and smiled shyly at the new girl.

At the girl who was new to her. She was the new girl around here, she figured.

Willow waved. "Hi, I'm Willow. Don't mind me if at the moment I appear to be more of a food vacuum than a girl. I assure you this is temporary. Not that there is anything wrong with being a food vacuum if that happens to be your species."

"You're in Professor Stinson's class too, aren't you?" asked Hoshi.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"I am indeed," Willow said, with a wave. "I'm Willow. Hi!"

Anemone could hear people in the common room, so she abandoned her reading and wandered across the hall. "What are we doing?"

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Making cupcakes!" Turtle answered happily, with a sweep of her hand at all the supplies and yummy things and spoons and breakfast cereals and fruitbats and orangutans. "Wanna help? Or you could just sit and eat, too, that's a-okay!"

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

"Baking!" Anemone wandered over and peered at the motley array of supplies. "Wow. Yeah, I'll help. Any type in particular that people want?"

[comelyhonour.livejournal.com]

Normally, about the time there were more than three people in a room, was when Beauty tended to bolt. But she was determined to meet people, and do the things that students at a school did.

Whatever those things were. She was sure she'd figure them out eventually.

So she smiled at the girl with the...pink? hair, hoping she wasn't so covered in flour that she scared people away.

[death-of-hope.livejournal.com]

It'll take more than flour to scare Anemone. She was partnered with BART in pie class.

"Hi." Anemone smiled at the other girl and started pulling her hair back so that she could cook properly. "I don't think I've met you yet. I'm Anemone."

Hoshi was headed down the stairs when she smelled something sugary coming from the second floor. She peeked into the common room to see what was going on.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Hoshi!" Turtle gushed, accidentally splattering some cupcake batter on the counter. "Hi! Come make cupcakes! Or just eat them. People need to eat them, too."

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

"What kind of cupcakes are we making? Or eating?" asked Hoshi, looking from the pans to the ready-made cupcakes.

[comelyhonour.livejournal.com]

Beauty smiled and waved at Hoshi, pleased to see a familiar face, from her place at the counter.

Covered in flour. And with a smudge of chocolate on her cheek.

Anne was drifting aimlessly up the stairs from the first floor, nose buried in a book (of course), when the noise from the common room caught her attention.

"Oh, hello," she said, her curiosity getting the better of her and drawing her into the room.

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Hello!" Turtle greeted the girl brightly. "How are you? Come on in; we're making cupcakes! Lots to eat, lots to make!"

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

Hoshi smiled at another girl she hadn't met yet. "Do you live on this floor?"

[comelyhonour.livejournal.com]

Oh, another familiar face! Beauty waved, sending a spray of flour through the air.

"Have a cupcake, Anne!"

Adam was also bored, so lo and behold, he was wandering. This led him to the second floor.

Entering the common room, he smiled. "Hey!"

[stocksgrrl.livejournal.com]

"Adam!" Turtle bounced happily to see him. "Make cupcakes! Or you can just eat them, too. That would be entirely acceptable. Someone's got to eat them, right?"
