Fifth Floor Common Room | Evening | Monday | January 11

[therewaslife]

Having all of his classes tomorrow didn't mean Bod was going to stay in his room and make it an early night. He'd thought about taking another walk down to the graveyard but decided to save that for later in the week. There was time and Bod knew neither he nor the graveyard was going anywhere for awhile.

So, he'd wandered down the hall, book in hand, to the common room. Yeah, he knew he could have just closed himself in his room to read but the common room was bigger and had food. Food that Bod immediately started scrounging for. It was a little difficult to do considering he was holding his book open with one hand and reaching blindly into the refrigerator with the other. He'd pulled out the box of baking soda three times.

Putting the book down would have been easier, Bod knew, but not as fun. So, he kept trying. That box of baking soda got pulled out two more times.

[open common room is open!]

"Ouch," Jennifer said, setting some flour on the counter as she raided the cabinets. "That's definitely a heavy-duty work out day. Should we have ice packs ready for you in the morning?"

Rose leaned against the counters to watch. "Nah, I got another session in the gym at seven, so it'll get worked out. Just have to pull my ass down to the gym."

"Maybe you need a zipline," Jennifer said. "Right from your room down to the gym. Then it's just a matter of hanging on."

"My own personal zip line," she repeated. "I'm totally gonna talk someone into making me one now."

"This is where we wish we knew a mechanical genius," Jennifer said, finding more of the ingredients. "...And I wish I had a cookbook."

Rose eyed her. "...so you're just going to throw it together and hope?"

"That actually seems like a really bad plan," Jennifer said. "I'm thinking more I take a break and go grab an actual cookbook."

"If we actually want cupcakes and not weird bread stuff," Rose agreed.

[not-jaded-yet.livejournal.com]

"Yeah," Jennifer said. "I'd hate to ruin your sweet tooth with... bread disaster."

"And I don't want to ruin your sweet tooth with weird bread stuff," Jennifer said. "I'll be right back."

And off she went to find a cookbook.
