Fourth Floor Common Room [evening]

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

Sookie had been struck by the slightest bout of homesickness earlier, which, as it had her first night in Fandom, drove her to go to the store and return to her common room kitchen with armfuls of supplies to make banana pudding.

She was fairly satisfied with her first batch, which was set aside in a two-quart dish and from which she was sampling while she carefully whisked over a double boiler. She had no idea who was going to eat all this, but it was like a rule -- you couldn't make just a little of this stuff.

She was pretty sure she could find someone to eat it. It wasn't like people around here hated sweets or anything (though she imagined that'd be an awful life.) In the meantime, she stirred, pausing to turn the television onto some old sitcom, just for background noise.

[omg I don't even like bananas and I want to make that, now. totes open. come eat pudding.]

Hannibal had a nose for food. Hannibal also had a still animal shaped girlfriend so he was a little lonely. Those two things brought him down the hall (with said girlfriend in his arms) to see what was going on.

"That smells good," he said from the doorway.

Sookie looked up with a bright smile. "It doesn't taste too bad, if I say so myself. Help yourself."

She caught sight of the fuzzy thing he was holding, and gave the obligatory, "Awwwwwww! What a darling little...critter! Pet?"

"Girlfriend," he said and set her down on the floor to skitter around. "For about a week now. Hoping she changes back before I graduate."

Or sooner.

"What'd you make?" he asked, wandering over.

There was somethin' that smelled good, and George followed his nose all the way up to the fourth floor to discover what it was. Also he was hungry. "What is it that you're makin', lass?" he asked, spying the girl at the stove and coming to the obvious conclusion.

Sookie raised her eyebrow at the 'lass' thing, but smiled as she said, "Banana pudding. You're welcome to some, if you want! Lord knows I can't eat all this myself."

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Banana," he repeated, coming to the conclusion that - he still didn't have a clue what it was. He wandered over to get a glimpse of what was in the pot. "Tis like a custard?"

"Cute guy!" Claudia greeted, waving.

So subtle, our Claudia.

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

George liked this kind of greeting so much more than the kind where his face caused trauma.

"Pretty lass," he replied, waving back.

"Oh, hey there George," Jennifer said. "I totally fail at keeping track of you, I'm so sorry."

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Tisn't a worry," George said, smiling at her as she came in. "I do be managin' to keep track of meself. An' hopefully I haven't embarrassed ye much."

Yakko ran into the common room and suddenly stopped.

"It's that time again!" After a brief pause, he continued, as if addressing someone who wasn't there. "No, it's time to learn the day's lesson! And to find out what it is, we turn to... The Wheel of Morality!" Yakko motioned towards the door, where a large wheel with 'The Wheel of Morality' written on it in huge letters drifted in.

"Wheel of Morality, turn, turn, turn," Yakko recited as he spun the wheel. "Tell us the lesson that we should learn." As the spinning wheel slowed down and landed on the number 2, a sheet of paper was printed from a slot on the side. Yakko went to his next line as he grabbed the sheet of paper. "Moral Number Two. And the moral of today's story is... Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it, so avoid the whole problem by taking an English class instead."

Yakko shrugged, darted out of the room, and the wheel disappeared out into the hallway a moment later.

As always, Sookie had no idea what to do with the...little kitty thing.

"...see you later!" she called after it, wondering where the wheel had gone. She was grateful to have learned, though!

It was possible Bobby had a second mutant power that involved being drawn towards food.

Or, you know, he was a fifteen year old guy.

"Sookie! Are you cooking stuff? More importantly, are you sharing whatever you're cooking?" Yes, the second question had effectively answered the first one. Shh.

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"Bobby! I sure am, and I'm only sharing if you're not allergic to bananas," she said, smiling at him over her double boiler.

[longislandiceme]

"Then you'll be happy to know I am allergy-free," he declared, wandering over to the kitchen part of the common room.

[noearsyet.livejournal.com]

"Bobby!" George waved happily. "How d'you do?"

[longislandiceme]

"Hey, George," Bobby replied. "I was doing okay but now I have pudding so it's been upgraded to great!" Why yes, the sugar did hit fairly quickly with this one.

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

"Hey, man," Hannibal said, giving the new guy because I don't think they've met a wave. "Food draw you in too?"

[longislandiceme]

"Yeah, I can't resist the lure of free food...Hannibal, right?" Bobby frowned as he tried to remember the guy's name.

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"Sookiiiiiiiie, omigod, tell me that's for sharing," Claudia demanded.

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"Claudiaaaaaa, it's for sharing," she said, grinning at her. "You like bananas?"

[gudspellr-claud.livejournal.com]

"It's generally part of banana splits," Claudia said, grinning back, "so it's fine."

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

Jennifer wandered in, drawn by the smell.

"I have no idea what's being made, but I want some," she said.

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"Banana pudding," Sookie announced, waving her whisk at the other girl. "Help yourself!"

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Oh, thank you, Sookie" Jennifer said. "Is this in celebration or something?"
