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]

"I hadn't really planned on it," said Hoshi. "Halloween isn't such a big deal where I come from."

"Hmm. I wonder if there'll be a party, somewhere?" Charlie cocked her head. "It might be fun to dress up. I haven't done that for a couple years. The kids at Hastings Glen were more about egging windows and tipping cows on Halloween."

"There always seems to be a party going on around this place," said Hoshi. "And tipping cows? People actually do that?"

"Drunk people," Charlie admitted. "Drunk, stupid, football playing people, mostly. They tried it at my grandpa's place, and he drove them off with a shotgun. Some of them got busted for it last year and got booted from the team. It was pretty ridiculous."
