Fred never, ever wanted to see a Twinkie again. For that past couple of days, she'd had an intense craving for food of any kind and the sweet cake-like thing had become her favorite. She knew, embarrassingly enough, where that feeling had come from too. She'd been high, or something like high. Someone had gotten her high, most likely those rocks they'd been talking about on the boards. Kryptonite. But she didn't remember ever picking up a rock and the effects had worn off.

Her fridge was extremely empty since she'd eaten nearly everything she'd bought and at least put on five pounds. She felt like it. So after a search turned up nothing in hers, she headed downstairs to the communal kitchen and opened the fridge. She made a triumphant noise as she spotted the carton of orange juice and pulled it out, hugging it to her chest. "Thank you," she whispered and grabbed a glass, pouring it nearly to the top.

After putting the carton back, she took a big drink and felt the miserable feeling in her stomach retreat slightly. "Like ambrosia," she stated to no one. "Godly ambrosia."

"Thanks. They already have!" Fred added, looking to the bright side. She held up the glass again. "There's orange juice in the fridge and that was what I was looking for, so it's a good way to start." And she wasn't perpetually high anymore, which was also a significant improvement. It had been fun in high school but the repeat wasn't necessary.

She moved away from the fridge to let Marian have room to manuver around the appliance, leaning up against the counter and cradling the glass in her hands. Her head tilted curiously.

"Only about a month or so. Not very long myself," she said, shaking her head. "I don't mean to be nosy but there's so many fascinating people here from different places and I'm a little curious. Where are you from?"

	"Oh that's very kind of you!" Marian liked the idea of having help in these places. It meant she wouldn't get too lost, and she would be told what she had to read up on. All those important things she had missed. "No it is not just you. I've always liked learning new things." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She kept nibbling at the cracker, taking a sip of water with a smile. Some of the things she had found here really made it easier to settle. That she was glad of. Otherwise, she wasn't sure how she would cope. "Tacos? Can't say I have, sorry. What are they?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Fred was already brainstorming. On the boards, she'd seen several people talking about cooking. There were some that should never try cooking again and a couple that she wondered if she could talk into making a meal like that. "Maybe some night they'll make a big meal," she said outloud, biting her lip. "I could suggest tacos if anyone asks." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Marian smiled at that, nodding a little. Feasts were usual in Nottingham. Well they were before Vaizey took over and the whole Shire was suddenly less happy than before. "You wouldn't have to, unless that was what you wanted as well. I'm sure I'll find them at some point." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
