Second floor common room- Friday afternoon

[thatwaslucky]

Rey had had every intention of at least going out to get some things before the weather got worse, but it just wasn’t stopping, and she wasn’t exactly prepared for this. And being from a desert planet, it wasn’t like she had t had to wait out bad weather before.

So instead she was in the common room with a cup of coffee, sitting by the window and frowning at the snow like that would make it stop. She had a routine on Fridays, okay, and this was not part of it.


[I also feel weird not playing her on a Friday. Open!]

Summer wouldn't hold the cuts against her; they all had to start somewhere, right? And, really, Summer's would probably only be marginally better...

"It's kinda dumb," Summer admitted as she started filling a pot, blushing a bit, but it was that proud kind of blush that came with something you loved to do no matter how dumb it is, "but it's a jello restaurant. All jello and jello-like things. It wouldn't do very well here, but I'm taking it," she click her tongue and jabbed a thumb toward the ceiling, "up there, outer space. I've got it on good authority that it might serve a very untapped niche out there."

Good authority in this case being two people and a bunch of Yuzzums, but it was a good start!

“...Jello restaurants are a space thing?”

Rey was of course from space, but she was also incredibly sheltered.

"Not yet it's not!" said Summer brightly, cranking up the heat to boil her water and adding a pinch of garlic salt because she was all gourmet now. "But just you wait. I'm going to start a whole new market they haven't even heard of out there yet."

“Oh, of course,” Rey said, because she wanted to be supportive. “I would go.”

And then she paused. “If I can ask a question, though?”

"Thanks!" Summer beamed. That made all of five people who would possibly check out her venture. And the little bubble of blossoming success in her chest had he smiling as she tilted her head. "And, yeah, definitely, what's the question?"

“Which one is Jello?”

Mind you, she’d still hypothetically go anyway.

And Summer laughed, because she was half-expecting a softball poking at some glaring hole in her idea that she hadn't thought of yet (or that she totally had thought about but was very stubbornly, blatantly ignoring).

"It's the really wiggly one," she explained. "Kinda shakes when you move it. It can vary a lot in color and it's great to put stuff in, but that's kind of the one detail that remains true for any kind of jello: it's all wiggly and jiggly."

“Huh. I’ve never had it,” Rey admitted. So, her mental image based on that description was a little interesting.

"There....might be some leftover from my St. Patrick's Day party," Summer said, venturing a wary look toward the fridge, "but that's pretty old at this point. You won't be able to tell if the green is the jello itself or just mold. But I can make one after the soup! I always keep some boxes of the base in the common room now, but it'll take about four hours to really set. Thankfully," Summer now cast her eyes toward the outside, "we're probably not going anywhere any time soon anyway."
