Fifth Floor Common Room, Wednesday Evening

[exspeedydotcom]

After a trip to the grocery store, Roy was ready to actually fend for himself for once, and what better to make on a chilly January day than some nice, spicy comfort food? That was right. Roy was making chili. From Oliver Queen's recipe. One teaspoon cayenne, three tablespoons chili powder, and a healthy dose of Tabasco sauce. God help the

Sniff. Sniff. Dinah followed her nose up two floors after work, and grinned when she saw someone was cooking, and who it was. "Hey. Ooo. You're not going to eat that all by yourself, right?"

[exspeedydotcom]

"No, help yourself," Roy said without thinking about it, completely forgetting that this Dinah would have no idea what she was getting herself into. "It should be just about ready."

[blondecanary]

"Awesome!" Dinah grabbed a bowl and a big spoon, then poured herself a glass of water. "Mmm, crackers... Do you make this a lot? It looks complicated."

[exspeedydotcom]

"Not really often?" Roy said. "It's--uh. Someone else's recipe. But I've gotten pretty good at it." The hamster wheel in his brain was turning toward: "You might want milk..."

For once Jaime was hungry and didn't feel up to actually cooking anything himself, so he was wandering from common room to common room. And what do you know? He totally lucked out.

"Food!"

[exspeedydotcom]

"Chili!" Roy said, holding up his own bowl. "Help yourself, man."

[weldedtomyspine]

"Dude, you're so going to regret making that offer." Jaime was hungry.

[exspeedydotcom]

"I wouldn't have made it if I minded sharing," Roy pointed out, and took a big bite of chili.

Mmmmm, it tasted like burning.

Bobby was a teenage boy, which meant he came equipped with food-radar and also the desire to crash the DC convention.

"If you're sharing, you're my new favorite person of the day," Bobby declared.

[exspeedydotcom]

"I'm sharing, all right," Roy confirmed, "but you might want to reserve favorite person status until after you've tasted it, bro. It's a little hot."

OMG convention-crasher.

[longislandiceme]

"I'll keep that in mind, but I can totally handle a little heat," Bobby said confidently.

[exspeedydotcom]

"Ooookay then," Roy drawled, and set down his bowl because yeah, he wanted to watch this. "Help yourself."

[ihavenocodename]

Because there were too many DC in the house Jean peeked her head into the room after smelling what might have been food. "Hello?"

[exspeedydotcom]

"Jean, hey!" Roy said, grinning at her. "Come on in, have some chili!" And then probably never trust Roy's cooking again!

[ihavenocodename]

That was a distinct possibility. "You cooked?" Jean asked, sounding a bit shocked.

[exspeedydotcom]

"I can cook!" Roy said defensively. "I just...haven't been. This is my guardian's recipe," he added, so he could blame that rather than the quality of his cooking once she got a taste of it.

Azula wandered around the dorms, stretching her legs then she turned around smelling something appetizing, Azula entered the common room. "What is that food?"

[exspeedydotcom]

"It's chili," Roy said helpfully. "It has meat, beans, and tomatoes in it." Well, it did...

[azuldragon]

"Chili?" Azula repeated. "I've never heard of that delicacy, I'd like to try it."

[exspeedydotcom]

Oh boy. "You can help yourself, but can I make a recommendation? Pour yourself a glass of milk to go with it. A big one."
