The facts were these: Charlotte Charles had always been an early riser. This proved to be infinitely valuable when it came to the preparation of Saturday morning breakfasts

"Plates are over there." Pointing to the cabinet in question, Chuck barely looked up from her book. It was not that she was trying to be rude, rather that breakfast was a time where everyone had their own method of doing things.

It didn't hurt that she wanted to make it a little easier on everyone. "They're breakable but so breakable that you have to walk around super carefully. Just watch the ones above your head."

While Scorpion was certainly one of the more unusual names that Chuck had been given when introducing herself to new people, she couldn't dislike it. It was more of a description than anything else andthose sorts of names were ver usual.

"Charlotte Charles, but most everyone calls me Chuck."

Coraline stared at the stack of pancakes in front of her. Tilting her head, Coraline narrowed her eyes at them before leaning in close. Taking a cautious sniff, Coraline peered around the plate and lifted the pancakes up one by one. There was something lurking inside her pancakes. Something vaguely recipe like.

"Aha! I knew it, there you are you evil thing." Coraline said, poking a lump of unknown thing. Coraline was of course poking the fig but she had yet to figure out what a fig was. Or if it was in fact edible. "Are you an animal, a mineral, or vegetable?"

[lt_blade]

"It's a fruit." Sonya bluntly answered, before taking a small bite of her own pancake. "Dried fig, to be exact."

Sonya normally didn't care for figs, but she had just arrived to the kitchen after a serious PT session and was very hungry. She only made a detour to the basement for a quick shower and change of clothes before heading to the kitchen. Along with the pancake, she helped herself to some granola with yogurt.

"Are you sure? It looks like it could have been alive at some point," Coraline said peeking at him. If it had been Miss Delirium's turn to cook breakfast then Coraline would have been sure that it had been alive. "Is it supposed to be in food? I mean, is it safe?"

Coraline might have been very adventurous when it came to normal things like going off to defeat evil, villainous creatures or exploring old tombs but when it came to food Coraline was very unadventurous.

Sonya really tried to not laugh into her drink.

"It's a piece of fruit, it's not more alive than a piece of banana. Ate a lot of them when I was stationed in the Iran because they kept well in the heat-you would eat them in cakes, dried, sometimes fresh but they didn't keep so well. Got tired of them."

That explained why Sonya pushed the lone pancake away and went for her granola.

After taking Pigby and Digby on their morning walk and escorting Pigby back home (he didn't like breakfast time, for reasons the pie maker thought were entirely reasonable), Ned made his way up to the compound with Digby. Capping off a walk with a healthy breakfast was a good start to any morning, and seeing Chuck turned those into great mornings more often than not.

Ned scooped up a bowl of yogurt for himself, some muffins for Digby, greeted Chuck with a kiss and settled down at one of the tables.

Even if there tended to be more people around than Ned would ever be used to, he liked their weekend breakfasts.

Daisy's still not used to no waffles, but pancakes will always do in a pinch. She hustles and bustles and collapses down across from Ned with a paper in hand and her plate sliding on the table. "You know," she says without looking up, "the way you turn those soppy love-filled eyes on your wife is actually quite disgustingly charming."

[piemakerprince]

Ned turned his soppy, love-filled gaze to Daisy, where it immediately changed (as appropriate) into one of amusement. "I'm going to take that as a compliment. I think."

He leaned over the table, reaching for a few napkins and handed some over to her. "Good morning to you too, Daisy."

[gonewiththereap]

"A very good morning indeed," she brightly agrees and takes the napkin with a cheerful pluck of her fingers, crossing her legs under the table as she settles her paper down beside her and begins to eat away. "Now, tell me everything. What have I missed in the great world of breakfast stuffs?"

Izzie is still fairly half-asleep when she wanders into the kitchen, instinctively heading straight for the coffee. It doesn't matter that she no longer has ridiculously long work days to get through, or that there really isn't much of anything for her to do at all. Tired is tired, and caffeine, she knows from experience, is the best way to remedy that. Standing at the counter, she turns her head to offer a thin smile to the person standing next to her. "Morning."

[asinglechange]

"Morning!" Alice replies brightly. Probably a bit too bright for someone who hasn't had coffee yet, but she's never really been picky when it comes to that.

"Cheer up, everything looks interesting to say the least."

[believeingood]

The cheeriness comes as something of a surprise, but Izzie has to smile at that anyway, nodding in response. Given that she doesn't like moping around the kitchen herself, there are definitely worse alternatives. "Yeah, it definitely does," she agrees. "And it'll probably look more interesting when I'm less half-asleep."

[asinglechange]

"Oh more than likely. At the very least it will look less blurry."

Squinting her eyes slightly, Alice makes something of a show of staring at the blurred out buffett of foods. This doesn't last very long. "Ooh, headachey."

Sarah hesitated in the doorway. She'd been told that breakfasts were communal affairs and everyone she'd met so far had been friendly enough, but that didn't mean that she didn't feel she was intruding.

Still, the assembled food did imply that people were expected to partake. Sarah took a plate and stood before the counter debating the merits of toast vs. muffin. Ultimately the lack of beans decided her and she settled on a muffin and a cup of tea.

She sat down at one of the unoccupied tables with one of the unread books from her bag. Eighteen hours of sleep had helped her mood dramatically, but she wanted at least one cuppa inside her before she spoke to anyone new.

OOC: Please interrupt Sarah's reading and say hello. By the time anyone else sits down, she'll have finished her tea.

Even with the school not in session, there was always work at the Children's Office. I gathered my plate and ate as quickly as politeness would allow. But then I saw Ms. Smith. I hurriedly swallowed my muffin. "Hello," I said. "Settling in okay?"

[sarahs_attic]

"So far, so good," Sarah replied. "I thought I'd explore the Island today. Get my bearings, peek into the newspaper and offer my services, maybe even find a place to live."

Sarah grinned at her new friend. "You seem to be in a hurry, so don't let me keep you if you need to be somewhere else."

[polly_okeefe]

"Well, I'm going to spend some time in the Children's Office," I said. Then I pointed to my muffin. "But I do get to eat this first. I think you'll like the newspaper. William de Worde is very approachable. And he's just had a baby daughter with his wife Maladicta."
