day 225 | xiii ❧ potluck mingle!

[ this is her first time doing one of these without gran, and something she thought was going to be difficult for those very reasons is actually rather therapeutic, heartwarming -- a glance back at her roots, back when she was just adele stackhouse's weird granddaughter and not that fae who mingles with vampires. sookie contributes a few dishes from her gran's old recipes, along with something lafayette taught her to make. she's got all the tables in this part of trois park covered with checkered table clothes of varying colors, lots of plastic silverware, paper plates, cups, and napkins at the ready, and a stack of picnic blankets folded up on one of the benches for those who wish to sit on the grass instead of at a table. sookie even brought a long a mesh bag full of sports equipment -- or rather, a couple frisbees, a football, soccer ball, basketball, and even some hacky sacks. (she's not the sports type, but jason would always be off playing something with the other guys.)

hopefully she didn't leave anything out. hopefully this will help cheer everyone up some, both the new arrivals and those still dealing with the days they spent in that other prison. ]

. . .

[Staring miserably at the basket in her hand. Well, she's brought cookies. She's even made them herself, and maybe that's why she's trying to inconspicuously leave them on the table where no one has to realize she's the one to have brought this particular batch.

... Half of them burned. And the ones she did try, she can't help but to wonder if she messed up some of the ingredients. They... aren't her best creation.]

[Calliope is not too keen to stick around as more and more people start showing up. The crowd is growing too unwieldy for her, even with the chilly weather giving her an excuse to bundle up and hide more of her appearance.]

[It is as she's beginning to creep away that she notices Yuuki leaving the cookies.]

[The drop-off of the goods looks so secretive that Calliope is confused, but wonders if maybe Yuuki is just very shy about her baking skills. Once Yuuki steps clear, the cherub sneaks over to the table and peers into the basket.]

...

[Well, some are fine, right? She picks out one that isn't burned and sneaks it under her scarf and into her mouth.]

	Oh-- hello, Callie-san. [Luckily she doesn't realize, yet, just what the cherub is nibbling on. Yuuki's already picked up a plate in order to go through and see what else there is to offer.] Having fun? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[BUSTED.] [Even worse, she's hesitant to say anything bad, now that she's been caught with a mouthful of Yuuki's cookies.] [She tries so very hard to speak around the dry crumb and odd flavor.] Hi- um, yes! [Frantic chewing.] Are you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She nods] I just arrived, but I've always enjoyed events like this. Did you bring anything? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-07-09 11:34 pm UTC (link)
	Bring...? No, I'm afraid not. Is that the tradition? [She did see people bringing food, of course, but she didn't realize everyone had to.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't think it's required. [She doesn't want her to feel bad.] People often do, but often times people don't. It just depends on the person. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tsk, tsk, tsk. Trying to feed your worst enemy? [ Trust Damon to spot Yuuki here doing a dirty little deed. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Then I'll go right ahead and have one of your cookies. [ He reaches his hand into the basket, randomly selecting a piece and not being picky about it. ] I'm sure I'll be singing your praises. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[She TRIES to sit aside and just watch. But as he reaches in she dives forward. Snatching his hand, she puts herself between him and the basket.] Don't--!! [ . . . Cheeks read, she stumbles over an explanation.] That is, er... I mean-- [SLUMPS] I'm not... a very good cook. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Looks who's not entirely surprised. He puts his hands on her shoulder and gently moves her away from the basket so that some other poor unfortunate soul can have a piece of that cookie. It'll be so much fun to watch. ] Did someone have a personal chef at her disposal back at home? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
