Fifth Floor Common Room, Thursday Evening

[exspeedydotcom]

Roy's stuff was all packed up, ready for him to head out tomorrow. He'd found a cheap apartment in a crappy part of New York, and he had a job lined up working at an outpatient rehab clinic. Heading group therapy. He still wasn't sure why they thought he was the man for the job, considering some days he still didn't feel all that recovered

You know what was excellent for helping cope with girlfriends, roommates, and friends all taking off? Food. Which was why Bobby headed for the first common room that smelled like someone was cooking.

...Less helpful for that whole 'coping-with-people-leaving' was the fact that it was yet another person he knew would be leaving was the one doing the cooking, but.

"It's too bad the newest batch of new kids is gonna miss out on this," he remarked as he wandered in.

"I hope to become part of school lore," Roy confided. "'At least you weren't here when that Harper guy with the chili was...'"

Bobby snickered. "I'll do what I can to perpetuate that," he offered.

"Would you? That would be great," Roy said appreciatively. "I would give you the chili recipe but, you know," he shrugged, "family secret." Even if he had been disowned. "Plus it's dangerous in the wrong hands. Or the right ones."

Butters was way to excited to just stay in his room now that he knew he was at Fandom High School to stay! He could smell things cooking upstairs, and so he went up to investigate, though he became cautious the closer he got. Who knew who was cooking up there? And he realized it smelled a little like...chili.

So it was a timid Butters who peeked his head in and, seeing that it wasn't Warren's girlfriend, stepped inside with trepidation. His fingers tapped together as he asked. "Is that chili?"

Aw, it was all little and cute. He almost hated to do this to the kid. "It sure is," Roy said. "You want some? There's plenty." He added a few more dashes of Tabasco to the pot. You know. Just in case.

As soon as the question of whether or not Butters want any was proposed, his eyes went wide and his head started to shake. The tapping became more furious and the stutter more pronounced. "Uhh, um, no, thank you," he said. "I...don't really like chili too much. Had a bad experience with chili once. Well, not me, but, hoo boy, believe me, it was bad. Bad enough to turn anyone off chili, I bet."

"Oh," Roy said, looking kind of disappointed. "You already met Ollie, huh?"

After an evening of messing with the heads of Tino, the zombies, and various customers at Caritas, Kenzi followed her nose upstairs.

"Hero Dude!" Yes she knew his name. "Cowboy! You are making me chili! That is so cool!"

"Roy," Roy corrected just in case she didn't know. "Kenzi, right? You look different with clothes on," he said easily. "You want some? Grab a bowl, it's ready."

[regretiz4suckas]

"Hopefully not worse, don't answer that, thanks," Kenzi said without stopping, ladling up a generous bowl-ful. "So when do you hit the happy trails? In a non-dirty way. Just to be clear."

"Oh, but I could have done so much with all that double entendre," he teased. "First thing tomorrow morning. Trying my luck in New York," he admitted.
