Fourth Floor Common Room, Tuesday evening

[itsjustlanguage.livejournal.com]

After rehearsals, Hoshi had commandeered the kitchen area of the fourth floor common room to bake cookies. There were numerous baking sheets lined lemony sugar cookie monsters, some already baked, others waiting to go into the oven.

Granted, some of them were bound to get eaten before even making it to the bake sale tomorrow, which is why Hoshi made plenty extra. It didn't hurt to a few samples if it meant people came to buy more tomorrow.

[Open, with cookies!]

Momoko followed her nose to the fourth floor, stepping into the common room to find the source of the wonderful smell. "Uhm, Hi! You're baking cookies?! Wow."

She stretched her neck to see better, trying not to drool. "They look delicious. Are these for a club meeting or did you just get bored?"

"Actually, I'm running a bake sale tomorrow as a fundraiser for the theater," explained Hoshi, smiling. "Would you like to take one of the cookies? I want to be sure I got them right."

[heromaniac]

"Yay! Thank you!!" Momoko bounced in place a moment, then reached for a cookie and took a bite. "Mmmm. Mmhm!"

She swallowed and gave a thumbs up. "Delicious! Lemon? They taste like it but at the same time they don't. So you're in theater? That's cool! What's playing?"

"Oh, good. I didn't want the lemon part to be overpowering," said Hoshi, pleased. "We're preparing for a play called 'Much Concern Over Nothing' but there's not enough in the budget for both costumes and sets. I'm hoping that the bake sale will help."

"'Much Concern Over Nothing'?" Momoko took another bite of cookie while she thought. "I don't think I know it. What's it about?"

"It's a romantic comedy about a pair of star-crossed lovers," said Hoshi. "You should come see it. I don't know when the performances are, but we just finished rehearsing Act 5 today, so it should be soon."

[heromaniac]

"Sounds good, I might go! Are you one of the leads? One of the lovers?"

Hoshi blushed. "Oh, no, I have a smaller part of as one of the maids. I'm a little nervous about performing for an audience, so I'm just trying to face my fears."

[heromaniac]

Momoko smiled. "That's still fun! And awfully brave of you to do, if you're afraid of performing." She tilted her head and looked at the ceiling for a moment, then back at Hoshi. "Is it a named part or just a walk-across-the-stage kind of one? Both are nice and equally good, but when I go I'll need to know which one is you. Especially if you're going to be in costumes! I always cheer for people who give me baked goods, and this is the second time I've eaten your food with no returns!"

"I'll be playing Fabrizia, and my roommate Hinata will be playing Mia," said Hoshi. "She may need more encouragement than I do, though. Hinata is pretty shy. It would be nice to have people in the audience cheering for us."

[heromaniac]

"I don't know that I've met Hinata... have I? I can cheer for both of you, then! It's always nice to know that you have friends out there when you're facing a lot of cameras and lights. I always pretend I'm just talking to my friends. It's relaxing, that way. Just remember that everyone in the audience is there as a friend and you'll do fine, you'll see!"



[No problem, I need to crash myself. Good night!]
