2nd floor common room, Tuesday after classes

Johnny was bored. Johnny overturned two empty trash cans and laid a piece of board across the top. Then, because yes, he was bored, he made a bunch of paper people, lining them up across the wooden plank. For their sake, he didn't try to name them.

Sitting on the couch, one by one he sent a fireball towards them, torching them, watching them lift in the air and burn until there was nothing left. Yes, he was playing with fire but he was very safe, really. Nothing was catching on fire except for his mini-paper people. How cool was that?

"Yes! Take that you with the cur--" No, he wasn't going to say it cause he didn't mean it. Seriously. He did not name his paper dolls, come on!

Johnny laughed but history just wasn't his thing. Hopefully she wouldn't go on about Spanish anything.

"So... yes. Pie. Strawberry? I've never had strawberry pie before. Mind if I try a slice?" He asked just to be nice even though she offered, and headed over to the kitchen area to grab himself a plate. "Pie happy is good. Makes everyone happy. And we all know - happy is happy." He had no idea what he was saying.

"Technically it's Strawberry Margarita, but go ahead, help yourself." Anemone gestured to the fridge as she cut herself a slice of one of the apple pies. "It should be labeled. Pie seems to make everyone happy, so I make lots of pie. I have it on good authority that pie prevents trash talking, because everyone's too busy eating to talk, so you might have to start burning the paper-people for trash thinking instead."

"Or, you know, just burn them for fun, which is also perfectly acceptable."

Johnny fixed himself a big slice and sat back down. Mmm, pie. He took a big bite and was in heaven. Pie Heaven. It did exist. "This is so great. And I agree, who can trash talk when there is pie eating being done? I don't care to read thoughts so the paper dudes will just get blown up for fun." He smiled wide at her. "Great pie."

"Another person who likes pie and blowing things up for fun!" Anemone laughed, shaking her head. "I'm starting to think that's a requirement for enrollment here."

"Thanks. I like baking, and I like feeding people," she said, scooping ice cream on to her slice. "It's nice to know I'm not loosing my pie-touch."

"Right now I can't think of anything better," Johnny replied, still grinning over the bites he was taking.

"You ever make chocolate cream? That might be my favorite," he said, not suggesting or anything like that. Nope.

"I did French Silk this weekend too, but it's reserved for Cassandra, if she wants it. You'll have to sweet-talk a piece out of her." Anemone responded as she flopped down on the couch with her pie. "I do take requests, however, if I'm motivated properly."

"By motivation you mean?" Johnny quirked a brow, smiling at her.

"Bribery." Anemone deadpanned. "I'm easily distracted by shiny things, or the promise of blowing things up. Or even someone to play video games with. It really doesn't take much to convince me to start baking."

"What if I write your name with fire in the night sky one evening?"

"A little overboard, perhaps, but acceptable," Anemone proclaimed, digging into her food. "Or, ya know, you can help me make s'mores some night. Oooo...I wonder if I can make a s'more pie...that might be yummy."

"Homemade fireworks are awesome," he commented. Really, he just loved showing off. He set his empty plate aside. "I can totally do that and a s'more pie sounds pretty good actually."

"Eat more pie," she replied automatically, pointing in the direction of the fridge. "Please, or I'll explode trying to finish it all."

"Fireworks are super-cool. I'd never seen them before I came here," she commented. "So, you're a multi-purpose flame-thrower then? It's not just restricted to burning the paper people?"
