Girls' Restroom, Fourth Floor, Evening

[ashockingbitch]

Jenny had eventually dragged herself up from her most recent hangover and staggered to the restroom, intent on brushing her teeth to rid her mouth of the taste of old cigarettes and gin, aka 'death.'

Then she had discovered the tap was running with caramel hot cocoa.

Anyone entering the girls' room would find Jenny Sparks attempting to fit her entire head in the sink.

((Open! To, you know, girls. And guys who don't mind getting screamed at, I suppose...))

Hoshi had a towel draped over her arm and her hair was pulled back. She opened the door to the bathroom, then stopped and stared. "What are you doing?"

[ashockingbitch]

Jenny pulled her head out from under the tap and said, "It's almost as good as booze. Are you planning a shower? Good luck with that."

"You mean we're getting cocoa from the showers too?" asked Hoshi. She turned on one of the shower taps and stood back. "Not exactly how I planned on getting clean. On the other hand, mmmmm, peppermint hot cocoa."

[ashockingbitch]

"I took a bath in rum when that happened," Jenny said. "At least alcohol has sterilizing properties."

"I know chocolate has some health benefits, but I think for most of them, you have to ingest it," said Hoshi.

[ashockingbitch]

"Working on that," Jenny assured her.

"Well, when life gives you lemons... I'll be right back," she said, rushing out of the bathroom.

She returned ten minutes later with as many empty bottles as she could find. "I hope there's enough room in the common room fridge for all this."

[ashockingbitch]

Jenny wiped her sticky face on a towel, said, "Genius," and, "Hang on, I'll be right back."

She returned with a bottle with an inch or so of brandy still in the bottom. "Now we're cooking with butter."

Eve was carrying the case she kept her necessities in -- toothbrush, toothpaste, that sort of thing -- in one hand as she walked into the bathroom. She stopped, stared for a second, and then said, "What's the faucet turning out now?"

[ashockingbitch]

Jenny turned the tap off and said, "Chocolate with manna from God in it. Figurative, not literal, literal was noxious and tried to eat Manhattan."

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

Again with the staring for a second. "... okay." And a pause. "Chocolate? Seriously? Okay, that's kind of cool."

[ashockingbitch]

"Hot cocoa, anyway. Haven't tried the cold taps, yet. Maybe they give chocolate milk."

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

And Eve had to try that one out, really she did.

"... nope. Hot cocoa. Damn."

[ashockingbitch]

Jenny frowned at her, confused. "Damn?"

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"Hot cocoa out of one faucet and chocolate milk out of the other would've been awesome. So damn to the no chocolate milk. But not damn to the cocoa."

[ashockingbitch]

"Hot cocoa's still pretty awesome," Jenny agreed. "This one has caramel in it. I'm not sharing, get your own."

[blackmagic-eve.livejournal.com]

"Already on it," Eve said with a grin. "Wonder what mine will give me?" Because hey, it was apparently giving flavored cocoa. "Kinda hoping for peppermint."

[ashockingbitch]

"Hoshi said the showers are giving mint, if the taps fail you," Jenny told her. Hey, she could be helpful on occasion. Very rare occasion.
