Fifth Floor Common Room, Wednesday evening

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

Bruce was just planning on spending some time in the common room reading now that his books were back to normal. The second he stepped into the room, a tiny arrow hit the floor by his feet. Then another flew a good eight inches above his head.

Bruce noticed the arrows were coming from a small cherubic creature across the room. "Shoo," Bruce said, half expecting it to be a gremlin in a horrifyingly accurate costume. The mini-cupid shot another arrow that went nowhere near Bruce. So Bruce whipped his book just past the cupid's head to put the fear of himself into it. The cupid scurried off as Bruce retrieved his book.

He didn't give it much more thought as he settled in to read about the history of cricket. But it was still out there somewhere. Lurking. Waiting to shoot someone with an arrow, only it wasn't as deadly as that might sound. Dun dun duuuuuun.

[OOC: I'm taking a road trip to Wisconsin tomorrow to measure a restaurant and hopefully be back at a semi-reasonable time. I need entertainment now to make up for the upcoming boring drive up and back. Please help me.]

And Ariel could not stop beaming to save her life. "I know!" she nearly started bouncing again, which would have upset the cookies, so it was a good thing she restrained herself. "If I keep this up, I might actually be good at this baking thing eventually!"

"Did you get any lessons, or is this just from a lot of practice?" Bruce asked.

"Practice," Ariel said with a nod. "But not even that much! I just made sure I tried really, really hard to improve on last time, and that's what you get for really setting your mind to something."

"That's the way I've always looked at it," Bruce said. "Congratulations. What kind of cookies are they, anyway?"

"Just chocolate chip," Ariel shrugged. "That's pretty traditional, right?"

More so than the seaweed and kelp she was tempted to try.

"That's perfect," Bruce said. He hadn't tasted anything unexpected, but he wanted to be sure. "I'm almost surprised you didn't try getting Cheetos in there somehow."
