Lobby - Morning - 5pm

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

For some reason, the only cookies that the people at J, GOB would sell Peter were heart-shaped ones covered in pink frosting and pink and white sprinkles.  So those were the cookies he set out on the table along with pots of hot coffee and tea.  He tried the cookies though just to make sure they weren't poisoned and - as far as he could tell at least - they seemed perfectly tasty.  Just very very pink.

He had the dance tickets, order forms for the flowers, and six roses of varying colours that he'd picked up, hoping that the they'd help with the selling all laid out carefully and even somewhat approaching attractively.

Finally satisfied, Peter sat down behind the table with his book of tactics to hand and ready to sell.

[OOC: Dance tickets and flowers can be bought handwavily for certain!  Flowers are only on sale through MIDNIGHT PST today and will be delivered tomorrow!  I'm going to be in and out for a bit.]

Willow stopped by and waited for Peter to notice she was there.

It definitely didn't take very long as any redhead got a second glance from him and the fact that it was her made him stand up immediately. "Can I tempt you with a cookie, my lady?" he asked, with a grin. "Or perhaps a fine flower that tries but compares not to your beauty."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Aww," Willow said, smiling. "I wasn't intending to pick up flowers with self-esteem issues, but now that you've brought it up I feel it's only fair to give it a loving home. Also a cookie, please, as it would be rude to turn down such a yummy offer."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

He chose the best possible cookie for her and then selected the two red roses to present as well. "One cookie and two roses with self-esteem issues and myself at your service."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Why thank you." Willow went to kiss him on the cheek. "Have you time to have a cookie with me?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"If I didn't, I'd be a pretty horrible person," he pointed out, kissing her back. "So I think I must."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Good," Willow said. "For I've never found you to be horrible. Now I am given to understand that one might purchase tickets of some sort here?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Hmm, I've heard the rumour," Peter replied. "But I'm afraid they're not to be sold to you."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

Willow looked very sad and woeful. "Oh no! Do the tickets not like me?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"They just know that you have no need to buy them," Peter explained.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"But if I do not buy them, how will I take the most wonderful boyfriend in all the land to the dance?" Willow asked.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"I was thinking I might take the most beautiful girl ever instead," he said.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Where is she?" Willow asked, teasing. "I'll kick her behind and then you'll have to take me instead."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter laughed. "Shall I get a mirror?"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Why?" Willow asked, pretending not to understand. "Your hair looks fine."

Sky had passed by the ticket table a few times, but convinced himself he wouldn't go to the dance. He'd be miserable there, he decided, and masquerade certainly wasn't his thing. But he felt different today. Changed. Better. And wasn't backsliding like he had been. He might even ask...

He approached the table before going back to his room after class, eyeing the cookies. "Excuse me," he said politely.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter looked up with a smile. "Hello. How do you do?"

[redintraining.livejournal.com]

"Good," said Sky, returning the smile and reaching into his pocket for his wallet. "Really good, thank you. In fact, I'm here to purchase... two tickets, please."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"I'm happy to help with that," he said, pulling out the two tickets. "Need to send some flowers to your date too?"

[redintraining.livejournal.com]

Sky shook his head, still smiling, and handed over the correct amount. "No, thank you; I'm not sure he'd like them. I've actually already put in an order for some for a friend of mine, though."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter handed him the tickets. "Good luck with the tickets then."

[redintraining.livejournal.com]

"Thanks," said Sky, pocketing them and heading upstairs to his room, hardly believing what he'd done now that he'd done it.

"I hear that there are tickets to be purchased here?" Triela asked as she walked over to the table. "Also, apparently, extremely pink cookies."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"The cookies aren't for sale," Peter said. "I'd be thrilled to give them away though. How do you do?"

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"I don't know," Triela eyed the cookies. "They look awfully sweet."

"Oh. I'm fine. And Triela. And looking for a ticket."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Girls were supposed to like sweet things, right? ...it was good Peter had been at FH long enough not to voice the thought.

"Good to meet you, Triela," he said, offering his hand. "I'm Peter Pevensie. I'd be happy to sell you a ticket."

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"Nice to meet you Peter," she grinned as she gripped his hand. "I've never been to a dance before, but my roommate promises that we'll have fun."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"I quite hope you'll have a good time," Peter agreed. "There'll be no drunken chinchillas this year, for one thing."

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"That sounds..." How should she put this? "That sounds good, I guess."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"It made drinking the punch difficult," he said, lips quirking in a smile at her reaction.

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

Triela blinked very slowly. Then she did it again.

"I'm not going to ask," she eventually decided.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Probably a good idea," he said with a grin. "If you ever get curious, check out the yearbook section on it."

[sorella-vecchia.livejournal.com]

"You know," Triela laughed, "I might just do that. There'd be a copy in the library, right?"

Rikku bounced up to the table and waved to Peter. "Hiya! Oooooh, flowers?"
