Second Floor Common Room [Tuesday Early Afternoon]

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

The facts were these: Ned was baking a pie again. He'd almost tried to theme this particular pie with that of a volcano but the volcano was long gone and so was that idea. Ned didn't really want to simulate lava in a pie anyway.

He'd chosen a new recipe this time, something he'd never baked before and had set out to prep and cook in the common room.

He wouldn't call this a routine yet but it was relaxing. And it was nice to get out of his room and do something besides annoy himself with all his issues.

[Open common room is open. Work is boring. I am hungry.]

"I heard this was Earth," Giselle said. "It's not a very pretty name. I don't think I'm from here. I fell down a well and ended up in that big city that used to be across the bridge."

Okay, that was a new one.

"Fell down...a well?" Ned repeated. "I'm not dreaming, am I?"

She tilted her head at him. "I don't know. Are you feeling well?"

"A little shellshocked," he said honestly, "but I always feel like that. Y-you fell down a well?"

"Well, I didn't fall so much as I was pushed," Giselle confided in him. "It was a wishing well, you see. And an old hag told me to wish for my heart's desire, but then she pushed me!"

"Heart's desire?" Ned said quietly, keeping his voice low. "Is that...a treasure?"
