3rd floor Common Room, Thursday evening

[heromaniac]

Since the island was apparently heading into massive Christmas mood and totally insistent that she wear the elf costume no matter how many times she'd changed during the day, Momoko decided to do some practice Christmas baking in the common room. Finding a recipe online for Christmas cookies wasn't hard to do, and the ingredients were all there, yay! But unfortunately it was still Momoko doing the baking.

"Ah! I burned another batch!" That was it. She stormed down the hall (as much as one can in such a cute outfit) with a still-smoking cookie tray in hand and knocked on a door. "Jaime? Are you hoooooome?"

She couldn't help laughing when he opened his door, so her request to help with the cookies took a bit longer to get out.

She was still giggling as she followed him back into the common room. "But you do look good in blue! Really!" And his elf costume was way more normal-looking than hers! "And it could be worse, you know!" She moved past him to dump the burnt cookies into the trash and set the cookie tray aside.


[Common room is open. Come mock the elves and their baking?]

Jaime was torn between blushing at his own embarrassing clothing and blushing (for a different reason) at Momoko's elf costume. He tried to cover that with an amused snort. "Yeah, I could have lost any ability to bake cookies."

Wait...

That was still possible, wasn't it?

[heromaniac]

"And here I was thinking more like you could be wearing a reindeer outfit! And your nose would blink like that one in the song?" Momoko grinned and reached for a clean mixing bowl.

[weldedtomyspine]

"That would be... worse. Yes." He started to reach out and poke Momoko, but then hesitated when he realized he'd be poking at her bare ribs. Skin...

Then he just looked awkward with his finger just pointing vaguely at her.

"...do I smell cookies?" Hayley asked, following her nose into the common room. She was not dressed as an elf. She wore a white shirt with suspenders and and jeans.

[heromaniac]

"Hiiii Hayley!" Momoko bounced a bit to get noticed and waved. "We're trying! I burned a bunch and now I've got help!" She pointed at the blue elf who was hopefully somewhere in the room. "Looks like you totally escaped being a Christmas elf today. Congratulations!"

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"...I had to escape from it?" Hayley said, tilting her head. "I would've, if someone told me where they were getting them from!"

[weldedtomyspine]

"I don't know. It's possible you've got a cold and can't smell anything, after all," Jaime teased.

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"Please, this winter is mild compared to Gotham," Hayley said. "I definitely don't have a cold."

Yes, there had been an elf costume earlier in the day, but Lion-o had managed to ditch it in favor of his usual clothes. The bells on the shoes had driven him crazy.

He popped his head into the common room to see who was there. "Hey Momoko! You will not believe what happened to me at work this week," he shouted.

[heromaniac]

"Hey Lion-o! What happened?" Momoko turned happily at the sound of Lion-o's voice but pouted when she saw him. "Aw! You didn't get an elf costume either? I was totally wondering what you'd look like!"

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

"...Kitty!" Hayley articulated, in all her brilliant glory.

Dinah followed her nose, accompanied by a ching-ching, ching-ching sound of all the bells on her elf costume (http://www.costumecraze.com/image.php?imagefile=http://img.costumecraze.com/images/vendors/rubies/25550-large.jpg) and shoes. "Is there cooking? Can I help?" She grinned at Momoko. "Love the hat."

[heromaniac]

"Ahh Dinah! So cute! Lucky! I totally want bells, too, though!" Momoko laughed and gave her own hat's poofy-ball-thingie a tap. it made no noise. "See? No cute bells. You can totally help us! The more the merrier, which is totally perfect for Christmas cookies! Both the Merry and the More!"

[weldedtomyspine]

"Yours is pretty adorable, too, you know." Wait... he hadn't meant to say that aloud. It implied that he thought both of them were adorable.

That pissed off bundle of blonde huddled into a corner of a couch would be Elle Bishop in a friggin' elf outfit. What the hell? It couldn't even be a Slutty Elf outfit, because at least that would've been amusing and she could've used it to her benefit. No, this made her look like a mall reject.

Say hi at your own risk.

[onlysmokesnics.livejournal.com]

Hayley rarely thought of the risks. But she did wander over to smile at her friend.

"It suits your eyes," she said, actually meaning it.

[weldedtomyspine]

"You look like you need these cookies more than I do," Jaime offered a bit hesitantly, holding out a plate.

[heromaniac]

"Hi!" Momoko risked, and even added a wave and a grin.

Thanks to the bells on her shoes, Jill chimed with every step as she stomped into the common room. "This island can bite me," she declared, and then, hopefully, "Did I smell cookies?"

[weldedtomyspine]

"That probably depends on whether you've got a head-cold. Because there are cookies to be smelled..."

[Ahahahaha. I love the movie that icon is from. /random]

[blondecanary.livejournal.com]

"Awwww, but you're cute! You look -- elfin," Dinah said with a big grin. "And yeah, Momoko's making them!" She bowed to the mistress of the cookie. "All hail gingerbread!"

[heromaniac]

"It probably can't, but it could probably make something bite you that normally wouldn't, like a pencil or something." Momoko grinned at her. "Hi! Come and share in the cookey goodness! They're even not burnt!"

K-Mart was pretty much just amused as hell by the outfit. Because really, Fandom liked messing with its inhabitants and it could be so much worse. At least they could still wear clothes.

"Dude, what is that smell?" she asked as she made her way into the common room.

[weldedtomyspine]

"I hope it's the smell of delicious cookies," Jaime grinned. "You want to find out?"

[heromaniac]

"He did it!" Momoko pointed to Jaime with a grin. "Unless it's a good smell, then I totally helped!"
