Fifth Floor Common Room, Monday Evening

[not_in_the_book]

"Can you hand me the ginger?" Ronan asked, as he ground some spices with a mortar and pestle. "The fresh, I mean." The fragrant smells of cooking curry were already pervading the common room, and probably making their way through the rest of the dorms. When Isabel handed over the asked-for ginger, he added some to the mixture in the mortar, and went back to grinding. "Thanks. I hope this isn't too spicy for whoever else comes along," he added.


[OOC: Open, as common rooms are! Come have some curry. :D]

"That just means more for us? Although we might get sick of it if we're eating it all week," Isabel pointed out.

Ronan eyed the pot. "... All week might be optimistic," he said. "The way I cook, it's more likely to be at least two weeks. How's the naan coming?"

"Oooo, what are you making?" Charlie asked, as she leaned on the counter, looking hopeful.

Hoshi followed her nose upstairs to the fifth floor. "Something smells good! Is there anything I can do to help?"

[not_in_the_book]

"I think we've got it under control," Ronan said, smiling. "But you're welcome to have some when it's ready."

"Hi Hoshi," Isabel waved. "You can eat. There's going to be a ton."

[girlzippo.livejournal.com]

"Hi Hoshi!" Charlie waved as she started searching around for a spoon. "How have you been? I haven't seen you for a while. How was your Parents' Weekend?"

Meg wasn't exactly looking to cook for herself tonight so she was pleased to find people cooking on another floor.

"Hey guys." she said when she came in. "What's cooking?"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Indian food," Isabel replied. "Enough to feed an army. I hope you're hungry."

[not_in_the_book]

"Curry," Ronan said, "with naan bread, pappadums, and rice. Want some?"

Hoshi waved at Meg. "How are you?"

Charlie followed her nose down her hallway, and grinned. "The Nomadic Chef returns to his griddle! Or his grill. Yayyy!"

[not_in_the_book]

"Charlie! Hey!" Ronan grinned. "It's been a while."

With a slight sigh, Turtle, was was actually nicely balancing food and her notebooks, flopped down beside Charlie and gave her omg bff friend a small smile. "Figured you should be here, faithful follower of the NCC that you are."

Jenny Sparks was English. Jenny was hungry.

Jenny could smell curry from a floor away.

"Food?" she asked hopefully as she entered the fifth floor common room. "Food for me?"

[not_in_the_book]

"Crime-fighting partner!" Ronan said. "Food for you! It's almost ready, too."

[girlzippo.livejournal.com]

Charlie waved from her perch on a barstool, and nodded to Jenny with her mouth full. "Mmmmmmmmmm!"

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Lots of it," Isabel said. "Come eat."

Johnny wandered up a few floors, following his nose and letting Savannah rest back in their room.

"Hello room full of people."

[izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com]

"Johnny," Isabel said neutrally, remembering the last time they'd spoken. "Are you hungry? There's plenty."

[not_in_the_book]

"Johnny, hey!" Ronan said, smiling. "How's it going?"


[Don't forget his new scar, dividing his eyebrow -- I figured it would be the kind of thing Johnny would notice.]

Turtle loved the air ducts in this place; she could always tell when someone was cooking on another floor, even if it was all the way on the fifth floor, as her nose discovered. "Smells good," she commented idly, the notes she was studying under her arm, glancing around to see who was collected because, well, y'know, it was the fifth floor....People, ahem, lived on the fifth floor...

"Hey Turtle!" Isabel waved. "We've got food!"

[not_in_the_book]

"Thanks," Ronan said. "Want some?"

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

"Hey Turtle," said Hoshi, waving.
