Third Floor Common Room [Wednesday evening]

[weldedtomyspine]

Jaime had mostly nursed his headache from Monday into something reasonable, so now he was ready to do something. Anything, really. As long as it didn't involve lying around in his room.

Fortunately, there was a common room. And Jaime knew how to bake. At the moment he was whipping up three different cookie recipes at once. Not that he was planning to eat three entire batches of cookies on his own, of course. But this was Fandom, and he was in a common room.

He figured he'd have help.

If Tim ever developed a mutant ability, it would probably be the talent to detect someone baking from great distances. He poked his head into the common room. "Cookies?" he asked.

[weldedtomyspine]

"Cookies," Jaime responded with a smirk. "You want to help? Bake them, sample them, whatever." Jaime was easy that way.

"Sure!" Tim said. "I'm really good at sampling. I have experience with a wide variety of cookies." He grinned. "I can help bake, too, if you show me what to do."

[weldedtomyspine]

"You do much baking back home?" Jaime asked as he pulled out a cookie sheet.

"Me? No," Tim said. "Our housekeeper's great at it, though, and our neighbor's butler's cookies border on legendary."

[weldedtomyspine]

"Legendary, huh?" Jaime grinned. "How come no one seems to think that the cookies they've had at home are only so-so?"

Jaime grabbed a can of non-stick cooking spray. "Here. Coat the cookie sheet so that the cookies won't stick when they're done."

Alex wandered on down to the common room since a) she had nothing better to do and b) wondered if anyone was about. And look at that, she was successful in finding people.

"Making anything interesting?" Alex was still in a bit of a baking mood from class. If that made any sense at all.

[weldedtomyspine]

"Depends on whether you consider confections composed primarily of sugar and butter to be interesting or not," Jaime shot back with a grin. He'd just pulled a cookie sheet out of the oven and was spatula-ing cookies onto a wire cooling rack.

Alex laughed.

"Definitely interesting and delicious," she replied. "Especially if chocolate's involved. Need any help with those?"

[weldedtomyspine]

"What kind of help are you offering?" Jaime asked in a teasing tone.

[stylin-wizard.livejournal.com]

"I'd say whatever takes the least amount of work but I'm feeling particularly helpful tonight," Alex winked. "If you need another batch whipped up, I could take care of that, no problem."

Someone's been practicing.

"Coooooooooooooooooookies..."

There was a Delirium peeking at the cookies-in-process.

"What flavors?"

[weldedtomyspine]

"Tasty flavors!" Jaime answered with a smirk, taking a moment to admire the newcomer's hair.

"Classic chocolate chip, oatmeal chocolate chip, and chocolate with white chocolate chips." Someone really liked chocolate chips.

[mania-endless.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, look at that wavy, never quite defined hair color.

"Hm, can you make strawberry firefighter monkey flavored ones?" Not that there was anything wrong with the chocolate chips.

[weldedtomyspine]

"I've... never tried," Jaime admitted, frowning slightly and trying to figure out if she was just messing with him or not. "And I don't think I've got a recipe..."

[mania-endless.livejournal.com]

She couldn't possibly mess with anyone...well, not with that way. "You should try; it's one of the most awesome flavors humanity have ever not created...I knew the recipe, but I left it when I came here..." And now she was trying to remember if you needed to blend the monkey, or boil the firefighter.

Momoko poked her head into the common room. "I smell cookies!"

[weldedtomyspine]

"No you don't," Jaime shot back immediately, not looking up at her, but grinning at Momoko's arrival.

[heromaniac]

"Then do I smell steak and you used vanilla instead of steak sauce?" She stuck her tongue out at him as she eagerly made her way over. "Because I can tell you, that's not a good thing to do." She reached for a cookie off the cooling plate.

[weldedtomyspine]

"Tell me you've never done that," Jaime pleaded, looking up at her.

[heromaniac]

She looked up at him. "Okay. I've never done that." She took a bite of the warm cookie and tried to look innocent.

Tim waved at the new person.

[heromaniac]

New boy! and he was friendly! Momoko happily waved back and then bounced over. "Hi! I'm Momoko. Momoko Akatsutsumi! You're new, right? Welcome!"

[boywonder03.livejournal.com]

"Hi, I'm Tim," Tim grinned at her enthusiasm. "I guess I still have that new-student shine, huh?"

[heromaniac]

"Yep! You don't have that 'I've been here for the glitter rain and had two gremlin bites just this week' look yet!" She laughed and offered him a cookie. "So where are you from? Is this the future, the past, or a whole different planet for you?"
