Fourth Floor Common Room | Friday Evening | 11/6

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

Hayley seemed to be spending a lot of time in her common room, lately.

Today, she was baking sugar cookies and icing them.

There was an utter mess of sugar and flour, and the icing was splattered almost everywhere... including all over Hayley. The cookies themselves were explosions of color, like Pollock paintings in junk food form.

"This is great," Hayley remarked to herself.

There was a music channel on the TV, and Hayley was grooving to a series of music videos by Daft Punk as she did her baking thing.

[ooc: Very open! The work week is over, hooray!]

Robin came in, and not for the first time, was reminded of the Swedish Chef. "What are you making?" he asked. He slid a bit on the floor of the kitchen stepping in a bit of spilled flour. "Whoop!"

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Cookies!" Hayley said. "They're gonna be delicous!"

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

He hopped up onto the counter. "They look like it." he agreed. "Can I help?"

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

Hayley thought for a second. "It won't mean the cookies give people warts, right?"

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

Robin chose not to be offended by that, in the interests of remaining friends with Haley. "No that's just a myth."

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Not even felt warts?" Hayley said, giggling.

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

Robin giggled too. Felt warts? "Not even those. Or velvet."

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Good," Hayley said. "Cause feeling warts is gross." She giggled again. "Go ahead and decorate what you want!"

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"I've never felt a wart." Robin replied loftily. He wondered if the pun had been intentional. Then he started drawing pictures on the cookies. A pilgrim hat for starters.

"Thanksgiving cookies?" Hayley said. "What a great idea!"

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

It also turned out, that Robin's hand, freshly washed mind you, was the perfect size to trace, and draw a turkey onto another cookie.

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"...I always wondered if they had cookies at the first one," Hayley said.

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"I'm not sure. Did they invent cookies yet?"

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Not like I was there," Hayley said. "I'm not that old!"

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Well you could have come from that time period." Robin shrugged. "I wonder if anyone at this school has."

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Not me, though," Hayley said. "I'm from the nineteen sixties. Not the... whatever-sixties of buckleheads."

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"15 or 16 I think. I wonder if the buckles on their hats was so they could adjust the size."

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"That'd be silly," Hayley said. "Whoever heard of adjustable hats?"

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"You can adjust baseball caps. And that's the only reason I can think of to have a buckle on your hat. Unless you thought you might need an extra one."

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"An extra hat?" Hayley said. "Now that's even sillier. Two hats? Who wears two hats?"

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Well I meant an extra buckle, but now that you mention it, wearing two hats at once is kinda silly."

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

Hayley peered at Robin's handiwork.

"You must be an artist," she decided (yes, totally changing the subject).

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

Robin wasn't so sure about that. It seemed pretty basic stuff, nothing fancy about it. "More a musician and performer really."

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Like a clown?" Hayley asked, sort of excited.

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"I've never tried that." he admitted. "You think I'd make a good clown?"

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"I dunno," Hayley said. "But you'll never know til you try, right?"

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"It looks hard. I know a comedian who's made a career out of being bad at it though."

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Bad at bein' a clown?" Hayley said. "That's awful."

[robinthefrog.livejournal.com]

"Well at being a comedian anyway. He has a great thing going with two guys who come see his act all the time. It's really funny."
