Third Floor Common Room, Thursday Night

[stylin-wizard.livejournal.com]

Alex was bored and the best cure for boredom in her mind? Chocolate.

Which was why she was currently in the common room, baking chocolate chip cookies. She'd skipped a few steps by using pre-made cookie dough but it worked just as well. Two trays were all ready in the oven and Alex decided she was going to make another few batches. The more cookies available the better.

The only problem? She was running out of baking sheets.

[Open as can be. ... now I want cookies. D:]

Alexander was starting to feel that there were enough baked goods in this dormitory to give him a toothache by proxy. Still, his curiosity got the best of him as he wandered into the kichen.

"Would you like any help?" he offered, once he saw the sheer amount of cookie sheets Alex had gotten out.

One of the perks of being in Fandom. There never seemed to be a baked good shortage on the island.

"That'd be awesome actually, thanks," Alex nodded, smiling warmly at him. "I don't seem to have enough hands to go around," she joked.

"Well, I have at least two to add to the project," Alexander said with a smile. "What are we baking? Cookies?"

Hopefully not ones to turn people into cats.

"Two is better than none," Alex grinned. "Cookies of the chocolate chip variety. I figure most people are fans of chocolate and I was craving it, so I decided I'd make a whole bunch."

Enough to feed the entire building was more like it.

"I might have to pass, myself," Alexander admitted. "I haven't much of a sweet tooth, myself, but I'm more than happy to assist. Cooking and baking is something I've done an awful lot in my life, and I actually enjoy it."

As far as Jason could tell, Valentine's Day made people want to bake cookies. First it had been Rilla, and now it was Alex, and he totally wasn't going to complain. "Whatever's being made, it smells good," he said.

"Chocolate chip cookies," Alex replied, placing a few more spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet. "I had a craving for chocolate, so I thought I'd make some," she shrugged. "Feel free to snag some, they should be out in a minute or two."

[dontvotemeout]

"Awesome, thanks," Jason said, leaning against the counter to wait. "People should get cravings for chocolate more often. Especially if they know how to bake stuff, because then it saves me from having to try."

[stylin-wizard.livejournal.com]

"If I could live off of nothing but chocolate, I would," Alex said matter-of-factly. That and coffee. She couldn't survive without coffee. "Baking is one thing that I can do. So if you have any requests, send them my way."

Bruce was making his way back from some training time in the Preserve when he smelled cookies. He wasn't used to that smell coming from this floor. Even stranger, it didn't smell like burning. Odd.

"Is someone baking?" Bruce asked, stepping into the room.

[stylin-wizard.livejournal.com]

"Guilty as charged," Alex replied, smirking slightly. "Hope you're a fan of chocolate chip Bruce, because that's what I'm making."

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"I can probably have a couple," Bruce said. "Especially since it doesn't smell like it's burning. I'm not used to that around here."

[stylin-wizard.livejournal.com]

"There are people around here who burn food? I don't believe it. Especially if you're going to tell me one of those things is cookies. Heaven forbid." She may have been over dramatizing things a little bit. On purpose, of course.

"Burning cookies is something I just do not do," Alex stated. Especially when chocolate was involved.

The smell of baking... something or other... had caught Shira's attention as she came down the hall. So this would be a very curious brunette poking her head into the common room.

"Ooh, cookies!" she said when she caught sight of the cookies being put on the baking sheets.

[stylin-wizard.livejournal.com]

"I hope you like chocolate chip," Alex replied, "because that's what I'm making." And really, who didn't like chocolate chip? "Should be ready in a few minutes if you'd like some."

She was more than happy to share in the cookie love.

[snarkyhealer.livejournal.com]

"Are you trying to feed a small army or something?" Shira asked with a laugh as she made her way over to the counter. "Because you might have enough already."

[stylin-wizard.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, I may have gone a tiny bit overboard with these," Alex admitted. "What can I say? I like cookies."

Elle had a weakness for cookies. As well as every other thing she hadn't gotten to have much of while being stuck with the Company.

So when she smelled cookies, she was of course going to check it out.

"You better be planning on sharing those."

[stylin-wizard.livejournal.com]

"I don't think I could eat all of these by myself even if I wanted to," Alex replied, having lost count of how many cookies she'd made. "And I am more than happy to share them. Take as many as you want," she added. "Seriously, take a whole bunch. I'm not sure how many more I'm going to get out of this dough but I'm betting it's a lot."

Elle was already trying to figure out how many Tupperware containers she could fill and take with her back to her room.

"That is a lot of dough," she agreed.

[stylin-wizard.livejournal.com]

"I'm hoping it's just an unusually large container and not something Fandom decided to cook up," Alex replied, eying the container. "Otherwise, I'm doomed."

Alice wasn't in the common room paying attention to the baking.

No, she was in the common room reading a fashion magazine and cursing James for turning her in the first place. Damn it, she missed cookies. She missed eating in general, but oh the smell of baking anything was kind of heavenly.

[stylin-wizard.livejournal.com]

Alex... totally wasn't baking cookies in front of Alice. Nope, because that would be really mean and unfake!sibling like. ... please don't hate her, Alice.

"I'd totally make some kind of special kind of cookie for you, if I knew of it." She was totally going to do research on that now, in case anyone was wondering. The library had to have something about that... maybe in Special Collections.

[aliceseesthings.livejournal.com]

"You are officially the best fake sibling ever," Alice said, looking up with a smile. "And okay, now I'm kind of wondering if such a cookie exists."

Really, with the types of students Fandom tended to have, she'd be surprised if there wasn't some kind of recipe somewhere in the library's depths.

[stylin-wizard.livejournal.com]

"It's what I do," Alex shrugged, not at all looking smug. Okay, maybe a little bit. "I might have to venture into the library to search for it. Because I want to know too. And if that fails, I could always google it."
