Fifth Floor Common Room [Sunday morning]

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

After so many requests for pancakes from her own children yesterday morning, Sookie figured that might be a theme for the weekend. And when she woke up, and Henry wasn't gone, at least, she'd run out to get a few supplies before returning to the common room to see what she could put together. (Though, of course, Henry had insisted on coming with her once he realized she was Going to the Store and he might Get Stuff.)

It clearly just wasn't her own children she was worried about, here, Drake/di Glacia/Stackhouse appetites aside. Sookie had bought enough things to make breakfast for pretty much any kids (and parents) who showed up. She was setting to work on the pancakes, but in other pans she was busily scrambling eggs and frying up some bacon. She'd also made a point to buy orange and apple juice and milk both chocolate and white, because there was no way in hell she was letting more of those kids just drink coffee. She didn't care if it was for a weekend, it was just irresponsible.

Karla could point out that she had no way of knowing just how psychic Val was, but she was far too happy with the answer to nitpick.

"I can handle that," she said, giving the girl a bright smile. "Huh. You know what? Name tags would be brilliant this weekend. You could probably make a bundle..."

You know. In case Val hadn't had that same thought hours ago.

...It was kind of a toss up between whether it was harder to be a Wiggin around everyone else, or harder to be everyone else around a Wiggin.

"Yeah, I know," Val said, waving a hand at her, "But I figured that would get boring, and it's not like I need the money right now."

The nets were free!

... the nets in Ben's universe were free and didn't know about Demosthenes or Locke!

"And I would try to keep them split up," she added. "Divide and conquer, and so on."

"Advice on tactics from a Wiggin-Skywalker? I'd be an idiot to ignore that," Karla said, settling further into the chair. "Are you sure I can't convince you about that tequila rule?"

Val wondered whether it would be relevant to point out that Ender said hyphenated names gave him hives. She erred towards the side of 'no'.

"And pair up the quiet ones with the loud ones," she said instead, "Might be a good influence, and you don't want the loud ones beating each other up. Unless you're actively trying to tire them out, but then you should probably use the upstairs room."

She wasn't going to dignify the tequila thing with a reply.

"There's always the 'foist the children off on their other parent and spend the next few days hiding' option," Karla noted. "I do like that one."

Jaenelle Mara ran by chasing Bobina and yelling something about hair-pulling. Karla could guess why Valentine hadn't suggested that option.

"They'd find you," Valentine said, simply.

[glacial_queen]

Of course they would. They had her gifts. And Jaenelle Mara was strong enough to notice a blank spot if she tried to use Craft to hide her location.

Darkness, she hoped that child wasn't born until well after she'd made her Offering.

"Balls."

What it lacked in eloquence, it made up for in heartfelt sincerity.

"It's just going to be a couple of days," Val pointed out. "You're about halfway there, if what I picked up back home holds out. And I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that."
