Kate had not been pleased to find herself still a dude when she'd woken up today. It wasn't that she had a huge problem with it as such herself, it was just that she was kind of worried for the sanity of a certain someone else ( Read more... )

Sure, Ariel had said just streamers and a banner, but there were balloons now thrown into the mix because she couldn't help it. She and Ellie had gotten up all the decorations, which were all very pretty shades of green, based entirely on the fact that Ariel remembered that green was the color of the shirt she'd helped Chuck pick out. There was ( Read more... )

Tonight was warm, but Kyle still had a fire going. He had the makings for hot dogs - sticking to cook them on, the meat itself, buns, condiments and onions. He'd read that some places put a pickle on it, but that was weird. There was plenty to go around and he was already cooking his own.

[OOC: Open! Mmm hot dogs.]

After a day of way-too-fun-to-be-classes classes and wrapping up the present she was working on yesterday, Ariel was feeling excited and creative and needed to do something with her energy. Sometimes, the common room was a bust, sometimes not, but she figured there was at least one thing there that could keep her entertained for hoursSilverware ( Read more... )

Not having an inkwell to fuss with made it much easier for him to take his writing to beside the cold firepit, where he could alternate drinking coffee and people-watching with ( Read more... )

After the sun set, the temperature started creeping down again, which made a little past dusk the perfect time to make some s'mores. Rinoa had a huge bag of marshmallows, and some pointed sticks, and all the necessary ingredients. Along with some drinks in a cooler and a black tri Aussie shepherd. (Not in a cooler, but rather, lying on the grass ( Read more... )

Time to both catch-up, and experiment.

"This may not work," Scully said to Claudia. "But I'm just honored to help."

The construction in question was getting larger as she watched.

Christian had just gone into the common room to make himself a cheese sandwich, which was about the extent of his cooking skills. He would have gotten the snack and left had it not been for the ... thing sitting on the couch; he would have assumed it was a toy, except the island was so very odd, and the thing kept humming at him tunelessly in a ( Read more... )
