Home Economics, Tuesday, period 1

[carbontelepath.livejournal.com]

"Good morning students," Emma greeted them as they shuffled inside this lovely Tuesday morning. She was sitting on her desk, holding a pink cupcake in her hand. Today she was wearing leather pants and a bra and not much else. "Today we are making cupcakes." Of course, when she said 'we' she meant 'you'.

She gestured towards the tables which were set up with everything needed for cupcake making. There was even a small oven on each table. There were also many, many different cupcake toppings and ingredients. As many as you could possibly imagine, in fact.


ooc: Waaait for OCD is up!

"Yes, very much," 6 said. "I hope your weekend was enjoyable?"

"It was. I visited my brother." River glanced at him. "And yours?"

Re: Table three

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

"The usual," 6 said, without getting into what that was: hanging around in his room, writing manifestos.

Re: Table three

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Oh." River handed him the flour. "Manifestos?"

Re: Table three

6 swallowed. "I've mentioned before, then?" He was fairly certain he hadn't.

Re: Table three

"They seem to be on your mind a lot," River replied vaguely.

Re: Table three

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

That was 6 withdrawing into himself. "Ah."

Re: Table three

River handed him some raisins. "Add these?"

Re: Table three

6 did as he was asked. He looked at River nervously. Such a delicate creature. So damned unnerving. What was it about her that drew him to her, like a moth to the...

Oh God, she could probably hear him thinking this.

Re: Table three

River looked inside the oven, then grinned at 6. "Don't burn yourself."

Re: Table three

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

"Am I likely to get close enough for that to be a danger?" 6 asked.

Re: Table three

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

"Depends on what you chose to do," River replied and handed him the cardamom.

Re: Table three

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

6 kind of gawked at her. Was she honestly implying he had a chance? Or was she just messing with his head, like everyone did eventually. If only they'd let him out.

He didn't even notice the cardamom in his hand for a full half-minute.

Re: Table three

River blushed a little, suddenly feeling cruel. She hadn't meant to tease him, not really, it was just so... easy. "You like cardamom?" she asked.

Re: Table three

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

"I'm not particularly disinclined toward it," 6 said. He should ask her out.

No, no he shouldn't.

Yes, he should.

Blast. Make up your mind, man.

River's eyes widened a little. She stirred the cupcake batter, staring down into it. "I'm seeing someone," she said quietly. "But am flattered by the attention."

Re: Table three

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

"Oh," 6 said, clearly so devastated by the rejection that he failed to notice that he hadn't actually asked her out yet. "I, um... terribly sorry."

He looked down. "He's a lucky fellow."

Re: Table three

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

Feeling a little awkward, River added, hoping it would cheer him up: "Otherwise I'd go out with you." She continued stirring the batter.

Re: Table three

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

"You do as you like," 6 said, drawing back his resolve. "Do we require further ingredients?"

Re: Table three

[moonbrain-tam.livejournal.com]

River frowned and showed 6 a tin. "Squid?"

Re: Table three

[defiantlyyours.livejournal.com]

*swoon*

RESOLVE, dammit! Strength! Ownership of oneself! Damn her and her squid. "As you wish."
