2nd Floor Common Room - Tuesday Evening

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

Meg wanted to reward herself after working hard today. A cupcake sort of reward. So after showering (she had been playing in the dirt all day) she headed to the kitchen to see if there were any cupcakes in the fridge. But there wasn't any. Not even regular cake. So she decided to take matters into her own hands and make her own damn reward. Meg's cupcakes were better than store-bought ones anyhow.

[Open. I am so bored.]

Dean's food sense may have failed him with the pie yesterday but it was working just fine today as he wandered in. "Girlfriend baking. Can't ask for much more than that. At least not involving a stripper pole."

"Hey, if you had been in my feminism class last year you would have been able to see me use a stripper pole," Meg said, as she iced a cupcake. It looked like she was getting more icing on her hands than on the baked goods. It had been a tough day and her focus was a little off. "Also, hi."

"Now you're just taunting me with the possibilities," Dean teased, coming over to her side. "You need any help?"

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, you can help me by eating this one," Meg said, lifting up a cupcake. "I put too much icing on it."

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"There's no such thing," Dean insisted, leaning forward to take a bite out of the cupcake Meg held.

"My hands would say otherwise," she said, lifting up the frosting-covered hand that wasn't holding the cupcake.

Dean leaned forward to lick the frosting off Meg's fingers. "That's not what they're saying to me."

"Uh-huh," Meg said, watching Dean intently. "And what are they saying to you?"

Happy from a good dancing class, Giselle bounced into the common room. Not that it was the one on her floor but never mind that. "Oh my, are you baking? Did someone need cheering up or are these for the old lady who lives in the wood or is it a friend's birthday?"

Ella had gone to the common room in hopes of rummaging up some soup or a sandwich, and brightened when she saw the girl baking. "Is there anything I can help you with?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Yummy?"

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

She grinned. "You could be right. You do know my hands pretty well."

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

"Uh, the first one? Sort of?" Meg was sort of taken aback by the cheerfulness. Now she knew it was like when people met her for the first time. "I was working all day today and I thought I'd reward myself."

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

"Now that I've stemmed the massive inflow of frosting I had going earlier I think I'm good. Thank you though," Meg said. "You're welcome to have one if you want."

[stucklikadope.livejournal.com]

"What were you working at?" she asked curiously. "I'm sure you do deserve a reward!"

[ella-obeys.livejournal.com]

"I can't say I think too much frosting is a tragedy," Ella grinned, taking a cupcake. "Thank you, they look wonderful. We haven't met, have we? I'm Ella."

"I was helping the renovations in the park. I was planting flowers today," Meg explained. She did think she deserved an award. "I'm Meg, by the way."

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

"I'm Meg. I'm glad you're here," she said. "There was no way I could eat all these myself. I just wanted one but you can't make just one cupcake."

[stucklikadope.livejournal.com]

Giselle clasped her hands under her chin. "You did? Oh, you do deserve an award! How wonder to help make the park more beautiful! And the birds will love it you know. And the butterflies and all the little animals."

[stucklikadope.livejournal.com]

Giselle waved at the other girl. "Hello! Were you planting flowers too?"

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I'm pretty fluent in your hands," Dean agreed. "Among other body parts."

[ella-obeys.livejournal.com]

Ella shook her had. "Even if you could it would be a sad baking project. I'm glad I'm here to help eat them." She took a bite. "Especially as they're good. Do you bake often?"

[ella-obeys.livejournal.com]

"Hi Giselle," Ella returned. "No, I just spent the day trying to avoid the heat. Where were you planting flowers?"

[goodgirlmeg.livejournal.com]

Meg raised an eyebrow. It was unnerving to meet somebody more cheerful than she was. "Well, I do like making birds and butterflies happy."

[stucklikadope.livejournal.com]

"No, Meg was," Giselle said. "Wasn't that nice of her?"
