Second Floor Common Room [Thursday Evening]

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

Ned decided to cook.

After realizing he hadn't cooked anything but a can of soup (take out dinners were so much easier) in the last few weeks, he decided to rectify with a new take on a pie he'd made in the past.

So, there were supplies and ingredients and a guy in a flour stained blue apron moving about the common room.

[Open, yep! He'll share!]

"You've left the illusion box off," Viki said helpfully from the doorway. "I didn't know the illusion box could be off. Is it broken?"

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"Illusion box?" Ned asked, looking up towards the door, rolling pin in one hand.

She waved in the general direction of the television. "I've never seen it off before."

Ned looked over and frowned. "You've never seen the tv off?"

Romeo waved a little at Viki. "Did you find your crayons?"

[blinkandsneeze.livejournal.com]

"My crayons!" she beamed. "They were under the bed."

No, she had no idea how they'd gotten under her bed.

"Lost things usually are," Romeo told her wisely. "I've no idea why, you wouldn't think there was a vortex there..."

"I be thinkin' it has a switch," Alice Cap'n Mary Bloodbeard mused. "T'wouldn't be much fun wi'out one."

Viki blinked over at the girl. "I thought the wizards controlled it, though?"

[notyourpawn.livejournal.com]

"Wizards?" Alice Cap'n Mary thought about that one. "I be thinkin' 'twere a gadget. A gizmo an' the like. Ye be havin' many int'restin' things like that here."

Romeo had spent much of the day on the beach, absorbed in a crime novel, and was passingly surprised when he noticed the sunset was approaching and he'd had nothing to eat save coffee all day.

So he was grateful to notice motion inside a common room much closer to the entrance than his own on the fifth floor.

"Good evening, Ned, are you cooking?" he asked hopefully.

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

Ned waved with a rolling pin and said, "Yep. Nothing big but it's more a dessert thing than anything. I have a lot though!"

[withoutverona]

"I can make myself a sandwich and then have your dessert," Romeo decided, rummaging for bread and peanut butter. "Or I could just have two desserts ..."

This was clearly a difficult choice.

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"I'll have enough for two," he said cheerfully. Well, as cheerfully as he could. "It's a new thing I'm trying. Like mini pies in glasses."

"Ahoy, Romeo," Alice Cap'n Mary Bloodbeard called. "How be you this fine day?"

Andrew totally had permission to leave his room for food, and the smell coming from the common room was hard to ignore. He would be quick -- in and out.

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

"Hey, Andrew!" Ned said, waving the rolling pin again. "How's it going?"

[wannabe-pan.livejournal.com]

"It's going to be going a lot better if you say there is extra of whatever smells so good," he replied with a grin. "I will beg if I have to." He was really hungry.

[withoutverona]

Romeo waved at Andrew, oblivious to anything beyond .... "It's been a while, hasn't it?"

[wannabe-pan.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, you know, I've been keeping busy," he said with an uncomfortable little shrug. "How's things in the life of Romeo?" He really loved saying that name.

[notyourpawn.livejournal.com]

"Avast, ye," Alice Cap'n Mary Bloodbeard called out. "I be missin' our weekly meetin's. The ones wi' the landlubber wi' the funny head."

[wannabe-pan.livejournal.com]

Andrew had his pie in hand and was making a beeline for the door, back to his room, and away from social good times. "Hey, Alice!" Andrew exclaimed, pausing in his retreat. "Yeah, I miss them, too. But maybe they'll let me out soon."

[notyourpawn.livejournal.com]

"Arrr, me hearties," Alice Cap'n Mary Bloodbeard said, standing in the door of the second-floor common room and looking around. "I be smellin' some mighty fine pie. Be ye sharin'?"

[death-and-pies.livejournal.com]

Ned hadn't met Alice so he thought maybe that was normal. Or...something.

"Sharing?" Ned repeated. "Yep!"

[notyourpawn.livejournal.com]

"Aye, 'tis good of you," Alice Cap'n Mary nodded. "I be havin' nothin' to offer ye in return. But I be appreciatin' yer pie nonetheless."
