Fifth Floor Common Room [Monday evening]

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

Don't ask where she had gotten them, or how -- as a former Scout herself, Sookie had sources.

The important thing was that Monday night found Sookie camped out on the couch in the common room with her entire newly-acquired Girl Scout cookie collection as she channel-surfed. And while she was perfectly willing to share, visitors best be warned that her wrath would befall anyone who took the last of her Samoas.

Seriously.

"Wow, that is a lot of cookies," Peter declared, wandering into the common room. "I'm assuming you're sharing and not just gaining weight for swimsuit season."

He thought he was hilarious.

"Good evening, Sookie!" Rilla said as she bounced into the room. "How was your weekend?"

"Oh my god, you have cookies," Kennedy declared, pumping one fist as she barged into the common room and snagged a handful of Tagalongs because by god if I can't have them any more for real I WILL HAVE THEM BY PROXY.

...Tagalongs being coated with chocolate, naturally, meant that she had to eat them as fast as possible to avoid sticky, clothes-smudgy doom. Kennedy flopped down onto the end of the couch and made a grab for a Samoa. Just one, Sookie.

"How the hell did you find these? The damn Girl Scout Cookie app keeps telling me there's nothing within, like, fifty miles."

Sookie arched a brow over at him, shifting her Thin Mints a little closer just for that. "I know you're trying to be funny, but that kind of remark ain't going to get many girls to share much of anything with you, Peter. Try again."

"Largely uneventful, honey. Want a cookie?" she asked, holding out a box of Samoas. "You haven't lived 'til you've tasted what the Girl Scouts have to offer us."

"I was a Brownie. I have my sources," Sookie winked, giggling at Kennedy's enthusiasm. "By the way, did you want some? Because I'm getting the feeling you're a fan."

Subtle manners reminders? Oh, Sookie, you know subtlety rarely works on Kennedy.

Bruce was just walking past the common room when he spotted the multitude of cookies. He felt there was a question that needed to be asked, so he stopped in. "Aren't you a little old to be a Girl Scout?"

[theotherpeter.livejournal.com]

"Okay, okay, touchy subject," Peter said, putting up his hands. "I guess even the prettier girls have their insecurities about that sort of thing. My apologies." And that was said with honesty, too.

Bobby had been looking for some organic Kashi that showed up in the Common Rooms every so often. Instead he found a pretty girl and cookies. He kind of thought that was a good deal.

"Hi," he said giving Sookie a little wave. "Are you a Girl Scout?"

[rilla-myrilla.livejournal.com]

"I'm sure Susan would have many unflattering things to say about cookies that come in boxes, but she is not here," Rilla replied, taking a cookie, "and I am in a mood for sweets tonight. I think I just about rolled home from the brunch yesterday."

"I gave it up almost ten years ago," Sookie said, shaking her head. "I just have friends in cookie-related places."

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"Not since I was eight," she said, waving back. "I just know a few who managed to get me the cookies we were all so desperately in need of. Ain't March without Girl Scout cookies."

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"You realize that with those kinds of friends, you could pretty much rule this town for at least a couple weeks," Bruce said. "I think we're all lucky that people who grew up in the Scouts are too nice to do that kind of thing."

He assumed.

"Did your mom make you quit?" Bobby asked. "I wanted to be a Cub Scout, but Mom said that the Boy Scouts were a paramilitary group and overly religious."

[rilla-myrilla.livejournal.com]

Rilla came into the room just in time to hear the comment and gave him a flat stare. "That was not polite."

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"Not touchy," she corrected, holding out the little green box grudgingly. "I don't care either way about my figure -- I like food too much for that. But then neither should anyone else, you know? There's not anything wrong with me choosing not to share any of these cookies if I don't want to, and it's not up to anyone to judge that."

She paused, and added, "That being said, I'm not interested in tummyaches and I'd rather share, anyway, but I'm just saying."

Rilla gave her a wave from the sofa. "They're good too!"

This was Rilla's first Girl Scout cookie experience.

"You're not telling, huh?" Kennedy-- who was not picking up on said subtle reminders, because tchah-- wheedled. "Come on, not fair. I hooked up with enough Girl Scouts back in the day. You'd think I'd have some sources there."

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"My mom died before I quit," Sookie said, shaking her head. "No one made me stop or anything, I just didn't have time. My gran actually hosted a bunch of meetings." She paused, thinking, and added, "I don't think Girl Scouts are overly religious, but I was also raised as a churchgoer, so I don't have the best perspective on that."

[rilla-myrilla.livejournal.com]

Rilla grinned impishly at him. "But you aren't a girl at all, so no cookies for you."

[theotherpeter.livejournal.com]

"And I'll offer you the same apology," Peter said. "I didn't mean to offend anyone, and I'm sorry I did. In fact, if there is any way you think I should make amends, I'm willing to hear your suggestion."

[justwantsquiet.livejournal.com]

"I don't know, I quit early enough that maybe the do-gooder spirit didn't really take hold," she mused. "I could totally capitalize on the island's desperation for Tagalongs."

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

"You're just trying to keep me away from cookies you didn't make, aren't you?" Bruce asked, oh so seriously. You could tell he was serious by the smile he put on.

"First of all, you just sullied all of the followers of Juliet Lowe in my mind," Sookie said with a raise of her eyebrow. "And secondly, no, they're in Bon Temps. I had 'em mailed."

Peter waved a hand, not actually a big fan of thin mints. Because he was a freak.

"There isn't anything wrong with not sharing. In fact, the communal nature of food at this school is sometimes a little frightening. That said, I'm glad you're not planning on giving yourself severe stomach distress. I like friends to not hurt themselves. With food or otherwise."
