I think I'm g am hosting a Cookie Exchange Luncheon! Christmas eve at noon, outside Footsteps. Basically the rules are as follows:
Everyone brings one type of cookie. Your favorite, or whatever you're best at baking, or whatever you'd like to try. At least two dozen, but more is better.
They have to be homemade. I work at Footsteps, so you can't buy them here and use them.
You have to bring cookies to eat cookies. No exceptions.
We put the cookies out on a giant table, and there's refreshments and some other snacks.
Design a little card for your cookie at the little design kiosk that will be set up.
Everyone rotates around the room with a tin and takes one of everything (or one of whatever interests you).
We eat and try all of the cookies and end up in cookie comas. (Everyone profits!)
Anonymously vote for the cookie that was your favorite. Top 3 will win a prize from Footsteps Bakery.
*If you have any allergies, please let me know ahead of time.
If you don't mind sharing your recipe, make sure you bring it with you for when people ask. I suggest making copies or have it ready to be sent via network.
Let me know if you'd like to attend so I can make sure we have enough tables and seating for everyone.
Now that everyone is back to being themselves and not their pets, I thought I would introduce you to my new flatmate. This is Chaplin I got him last week but I forgot to post his picture. He's six months old they tell me and so far he's behaving and clawing things. Probably because the first thing they told me to do was buy a scratching post.

About what you told me at the bonfire the other night. What in Merlin's name am I supposed to do with that information?
I'm very glad that I had the day off today because I am completely lost in this map! I never knew there were so many places in Atlantiis that I haven't seen yet. I'm trying to take notes so that we can go check them out at some point. This place is amazing!

Hello. I understand this is the way to introduce oneself. My name is Henry Ferris. I am lately come from the campaign against Napoleon's forces in Russia. Atlantis has the advantage of much warmer weather and much better food, although it is very strange different from anywhere I have been before.
How Where
I look forward to getting to know my companions here.

If I understand my orders correctly, I am to report to you.
As good as it is to come home to you all, it's so weird to be back in town for the first time in a year and a half. Ish. Almost. Shut up, it's close enough.
It might sound crazy, but I swear I dreamed of an angel the other night. And it was the most amazing dream I've ever had. Never felt so peaceful and happy in my life.
I don't know if it meant something or was just my subsconcious being weird, but I hope it happens again.
