Fifth Floor Common Room, Early Afternoon Monday

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

Hurley worked on his baking, this time with an attempt to make some double-chocolate fudge brownies with M&Ms baked in.

He was nothing if not ambitious.

Hurley had the radio on and did a little dance as he mixed batter to the tunes of Stillwater.

[ooc: Open like a good common room!]

Penelope followed her nose, so to speak, and wound up two floors above her room, peeking her head into the common room. "Hi, Hurley!"

"Hey Penelope," Hurley said, dutifully mixing his batter with a wooden spoon. "What's up?"

[bad-nose-job.livejournal.com]

"I smelled something good and came to check it out," she smiled and wandered further in. "What are you making?"

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Brownies," he said. "With, like, extra chocolate and stuff. Should turn out okay, I hope."

[bad-nose-job.livejournal.com]

"Mmm, chocolate," she grinned. "Do you need any help?"

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"I'm mostly, like, at the 'pour it and bake it' point," Hurley said. "But when I do that, if you wanna, like, lick the spoon, that's cool."

[bad-nose-job.livejournal.com]

Penelope giggled. "I've never licked the spoon before, so yes, I think I'd like that."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Never?" Hurley said. "Oh man, I'm guessing your mom never really baked, huh?"

[bad-nose-job.livejournal.com]

She shook her head, on both counts. "No, never. We had a cook."

Angela raised a hand in a little wave, and offered the other girl in the room a bright smile. "Hi."

Greetings were only polite, after all, and she was nothing if not sociable.

"Hi," Penelope greeted the girl, a shy smile flittering about her mouth. "I'm Penelope."

"Angela," she told Penelope in return. "I think Peyton mentioned you when we were doing all our match ups before homecoming."

"Nice to actually meet you," she added.

[bad-nose-job.livejournal.com]

Her smile grew. "Angela! It's very nice to meet you. I'm very thankful for the choice you and Peyton made for me. I had a very nice evening."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Aw, I'm so glad!" Angela beamed at her, it was always so nice to find out it had all worked out. "That's really all we hoped for with everyone."

[bad-nose-job.livejournal.com]

"I hoped it turned out for everyone else just the same," she said with a perky little nod. "Because of Homecoming, Liir turned around and asked me on a dinner date." It was totally a date.

That was definitely a happy outcome to Angela. "He seemed really nice from the one time I met him," she said. "Did you enjoy your dinner with him?"

[bad-nose-job.livejournal.com]

"I did, yes," she said. "He cooked steak for me." There was definitely a little bounce in her step there.

"Did you go to the dance with anyone?"

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Angela didn't have to deal with class until tomorrow, so she was still making the most of her bulk free time and hoping to find people to spend that time with.

She had to smile when she saw the dancing, and paused near the common room doorway to watch a moment.

"What're you making?" she asked.

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Brownies," Hurley said. "With, like, M&Ms and stuff in 'em."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Oh, good choice," Angela said with a little nod of approval as she actually moved into the room.

"How're you doing, Hurley?"

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Pretty good," Hurley said. "How'd that whole match making thing turn out?"

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

"Well, as far as I know," Angela replied with a satisfied smile. They hadn't had any complaints, at least. "Ended up sticking with the organizational side myself, but even that worked out."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Ha!" Hurley said. "And just so you know, like, staying away from the dance put me in a common room with six girls and no other guys that night. So I think my method kinda won."

[flashesforinfo.livejournal.com]

Angela laughed. "You can't say that after not even trying my way," she said. "I'm sure we could've found you someone. We had an excess of girls too, you know."

"Yes, but you wouldn't have hooked me up with six of 'em," Hurley joked.
