Second Floor Common Room, Wednesday Afternoon

[arsenicmauls]

Fact the first: Gert had gone out this afternoon in search of one (1) sandwich.

Fact the second: Someone (a bartender? Gert hadn't caught his (her?) name, but he (she?) had hair tucked into a baseball cap and seemed very drunk) had been racing around a town with two garbage bags that held a combined two hundred bagels.

Fact the third: Evidently running away from a pursuer, who Gert assumed was the owner of the bagel store, Baseball Cap had thrust one of the bags at Gert and yelled at her to take it and run.

And so it was that a baffled Gert hauled a massive bag of about a hundred bagels up the stairs through town and up to the second floor common room, at which point she proceeded to dump the bag on the counter and collapse on the couch with a cinnamon raisin bagel with cream cheese.

What. The hell.

Karolina was hungry. She was about to go do something about that in town, but she knew how stuff worked here, so she looked into this common room on her way down.

And hey, Gert! And ––

"... Is that a huge bag of bagels?"

[arsenicmauls]

"Massive," Gert agreed. "Someone gave it to me. Sort of. Knock yourself out."

[solarhippie]

"Okay." The one thing renewed contact with the rest of the group had done was that she didn't question random food as much. So she came in and headed for the bagels. "I'm starving. Thank you."

[arsenicmauls]

"Thank you," Gert countered. "What am I gonna do with a hundred bagels? If they were burgers instead, I'd say Old Lace could at least eat them, but."

She took a bite of her own bagel. "Cinnamon raisin's pretty good," she advised.

[solarhippie]

"Ooh." Karolina was going to look for one of those, yes. And catch up while she was doing that. "So... How've you been?"

[ultron_junior]

Victor waved his own bagel lightly by way of greeting because this is the runaways reunion CR. "You realize we've been here a year now?"

[solarhippie]

Karolina's eyebrows bounced. "I... hadn't realized that, no," she admitted. "Wow. That's pretty long. Go us?"

[ultron_junior]

Victor grinned briefly. "Not sure about you, but it's the longest I've stayed in one place since I was with my mom. I say that's a go, us."

[solarhippie]

"I didn't really have time to move around too much before coming here," Karolina said. "But yeah. I don't think that, you know, after the thing with our parents... I didn't think I'd stay anywhere like this."

And that also covered being somewhere that was like Fandom, not just how long she'd stayed.

Maddie came into the common room with a "Hey," went into the kitchen, and stopped.

"Hey, Gert? You didn't happen to knock over JGOB, did you?"

[arsenicmauls]

Gert smirked. "Like I could. Some drunk person gave them to me," she clarified. "Help yourself. There's cream cheese in there too."

Which made them awesome.

[mummyspromdate.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Maddie had to laugh. "A drunk person gave you a thousand bagels?" she asked, but she was totally going to get one.

[arsenicmauls]

"Makes more sense than a sober person doing it," Gert offered. "Never heard of anyone deliberately getting two hundred bagels." Which merited the clarification, "There was a second bag."

[mummyspromdate.livejournal.com]

"I have so many questions," Maddie said. "Like this drunk person does realize it's only afternoon, right?"

[solarhippie]

"It's a gift from the bagel gods!"

Karolina's smile probably said she wasn't serious.

But she was really glad they randomly had a lot of bagels.

[mummyspromdate.livejournal.com]

"I didn't even know there were bagel gods, so that's super generous of them," Maddie said. "...There aren't really bagel gods here, right?"

Fandom. Had to check.

[solarhippie]

Yes. And now Karolina had to really think about it.

"The bakery's called Jeff God of Biscuits," she pointed out after a moment. "Jeff... might also be a god of bagels? But probably not a literal god."

She was really not entirely sure, though.

[mummyspromdate.livejournal.com]

"It could be a shortened thing," Maddie said thoughtfully. "Jeff, God of Biscuits, Bagels, Cupcakes, Etc. is kind of long."

[ultron_junior]

"I thought she was looking for creative ways to feed Old Lace," Victor deadpanned. "It can't be that hard to train a dinosaur to eat bagels, can it?"

[mummyspromdate.livejournal.com]

"I'm not sure I'd want to try to get anything with that many teeth to eat anything it doesn't want to," Maddie mused.

[ultron_junior]

"True, but bagels are delicious," Victor returned. "It wouldn't be like giving her a big heap of Brussels sprouts."

[ultron_junior]

"You have a lot of bagels there."

Observant Victor was observant, and had the hint of a question in his voice as to why.

[arsenicmauls]

"Gift from a stranger," Gert replied, stretching out on the couch and pointing at the bag with her foot. Because laziness was starting to set in after climbing all those stairs. "Go nuts."

[ultron_junior]

"Right," Victor agreed, plucking a sesame bagel out of the bag. "I might even put some hummus on it. It'll be a bagel party for the ages."

He flopped onto a chair, sans hummus as of yet. "How've you been?"

[arsenicmauls]

"I was a blonde ninja for the weekend," Gert offered, because it was a pretty solid example of how she was doing. "You?"
