Third Floor Common Room, Monday Afternoon

[vanillajello]

So, in the spirit of Zakat al-fitr, Kate was in the common room, making something for others to eat.

She’d been feeling sort of triumphant for no apparent reason at all since the night before, but what she was making wasn’t M.O.T.s. No, they were just regular chocolate muffins, and the first batch was just about ready to be taken out of the oven.

Waiting, Kate leaned on the kitchen counter, reading some celebrity gossip magazine.

[ooc: Open! Emmy muffins whee!]

"Hey Kate," Hurley said.

"...special occasion?"

[vanillajello]

"Hi Hurley," she smiled at him, looking up from the magazine. "Not really. ...Well, there was this thing in religion class."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"Oh yeah?" Hurley said. "What sort of things?"

[vanillajello]

"We had a feast because it's the end of the Muslim month of fasting," she told him, "and there's this thing that you're supposed to pay alms for the fasting month, and apparently you can do that by giving food to people."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"...Hooray for the end of fasting," Hurley said. "Ummm, assuming that means you're sharing."

[vanillajello]

"Definitely does," she nodded with a smile, going to take the first batch out of the oven. "It's not like I could eat these all by myself. ...Well I could, but I'd feel gross."

[likes-chicken.livejournal.com]

"I don't think I could eat them all without feeling gross," Hurley said with a chuckle.

[vanillajello]

"So it's best that neither of us try," Kate concluded. She put the second tray in the oven. "I think I might take one for Mitchell tomorrow."

"Bribing the teachers is always a good idea," Hurley said.

Jack was wandering around the dorms, and detected cooking being done. Burtons can tell this.

"Hey, whatcha making?" he asked, grinning at Kate.

[vanillajello]

"Muffins," Kate grinned back. "There'll be some ready in like--" The timer went off. "Now."

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"I always did have a good sense of timing," he said. "Mmmm, muffins. Need any help?"

[vanillajello]

"No thanks, I'm good," she said. One tray out, another tray in. "Of course, all the hard work is still ahead. Mainly, eating the muffins. And you're totally welcome to help with that."

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"I take that sort of hard work seriously," he said with a wink. "They look good!"

[vanillajello]

"Of course they look good!" she said, mock-outraged, and then smirked. "Should taste good, too."

[ooc: And now I need to go sleep.]

[inthereflexes.livejournal.com]

"They better. I might have to sample each one," he teased.

[Night! I want muffins! *pout* =P ]

[vanillajello]

"Somehow I doubt others would appreciate that," she grinned.

[weldedtomyspine]

Ooooh, free food! Jaime was so there. "I see what you were saying about the most awesome floor," he grinned when he spotted Kate.

[You're probably asleep, but I couldn't resist.]

[vanillajello]

"We really are awesomely awesome here on third, just like I told you," Kate smirked back at him. "Help yourself to a muffin."

[weldedtomyspine]

"Don't mind if I do," Jaime grinned as he snagged one. And then a second one, just in case... um... just in case some situation that required a second muffin arose. "Is there some special occasion, or is this just the ambient awesome?"

[vanillajello]

"Paying back to the world for the feast in religion class and celebrating the end of a fasting I didn't do," she replied. "Also, I just felt like having muffins."

[weldedtomyspine]

"Well," Jaime grinned as he bit into one, "muffins are tasty."

[vanillajello]

"Yes. If they weren't, there would be no point to anything," Kate decided with a light grin. "So, I haven't seen you since the last time I gave you food. How's Fandom been treating you?"

[weldedtomyspine]

"Not bad," Jaime decided. "There are a lot of interesting people here, and most of them are pretty cool. My classes are a bit weird, but interesting."

[vanillajello]

"That's pretty much exactly my impression of this place, too," Kate nodded. "Only I haven't ended up in any of the weirder classes yet. Mine are pretty basic"
