Food Appreciation, Class Six, Period Three

[baskiceball.livejournal.com]

One half of the buffet table today was covered in Valentine's Day candy. Heart-shaped lollypops, the gamble chocolate that came in the heart boxes, Hershey's kisses, Red Hots, those fake candy lips, those candy hearts with the words on them and all sorts of other moddable types of candy. The other half of the table was covered in oysters, bananas, almonds, asparagus and other foods that were apparently aphrodisiacs.

Marshall was standing at the front of the class with a box of chocolates in his hands. "Okay guys, in light of the holiday, I've decided we should eat food that has to do with Valentine's Day. Taken or not, the one thing we can all look forward to on Valentine's Day is candy. Lots and lots of candy. So much candy that if you're single you can eat it all night until you throw up. Or, if you're me, eat it all night until your wife tells you to stop otherwise you're going to throw up. I don't really know what Valentine's Day has to do with candy but, then again, I don't know why it has to do with greeting cards either."

"So that's one half of the table. The other half has foods that people consider aphrodisiacs," Marshall said, pointing to the right side of the table. "An aphrodisiac, if you don't know, is something that's supposed to get you in the mood to...you know, bow chicka wow wow."

Dear god, Marshall. Stop scaring the kids.

"I'm not sure if it works or not and I don't really know why they're supposed to make you get in the mood but, whatever, oysters are delicious," he said. Marshall paused. "Please don't use the aphrodisiacs as an excuse to make out in here. PDA is gross."

"Okay, so, that's all I've got," Marshall said. "Dig in!"

Eat food!

Mmm candy.

She'd just be over here, snacking on Hershey's kisses and red hots, and staying faaaaaaar away from anything that might be an aphrodisiac.

Except, apparently, cinnamon and chocolate.

Claudia was eating chocolate and trying not to giggle inappropriately at the bananas.

It...wasn't really working.

"Dude, I feel like I'm missing a joke," Hurley said with a smile. He had yoinked some of the pineapple.

"It's a shape thing," Claudia said, pointing at the bananas. "Plus at my old school I had to put a condom on one in health class."

Jen was going to be over here on the chocolate side of the table, staying as far away from the aphrodisiac side of the table as possible.

But the chocolates -- those were getting eaten practically by the handful by one very scowly time cop.

Admittedly, Viki was more into the chocolate than anything else, but she did spend a while checking out, just to see, what there was on the other (aphrodisiac) side.

Priestly couldn't help but wonder if a food's status as an aphrodisiac was in any way linked to it's suggestive shape and/or texture.

That didn't stop him from eating oysters like it was going out of style, though. And the mystery chocolates.

Marco was firmly in the chocolate side of the table. Mostly because mmm, chocolate.

Firekeeper was mostly trying the candies, but she did go for a few of the oysters. Apparently she was in a seafood kind of mood this week.

Hoshi steered clear of the chocolate and helped herself to bananas and figs.

Mmm, chocolate. Amber was enjoying it and nibbled on some almonds as well.

And yes, she even had an oyster.

Ned stuck with the traditional candy. He'd let Kaylee deal with the aphrodisiac candy and tell him if they worked or not.

Re: Eat food!

Kaylee wandered over, working her way through a pile of strawberries, bananas and almonds.

She'd already had a lot of chocolate.

"Are you doin' anything later?"

Never let it be said that Kaylee was inappropriate. Really.

"Uh, taking a nap?" Ned answered. "Maybe."

Peyton checked out a lot of the different foods. Very interesting.

Sam didn't want to gorge too much on candy, since it wasn't even remotely healthy, but he did allow himself to have a few pieces.

Dean eyed the heart shaped boxes of chocolates warily, having some very disturbing memories about them from this past weekend. Other than that, he was quite happy to sample every type of candy that was available.

Re: Eat food!

[darkangelsawyer.livejournal.com]

"Got plans for after class?" Peyton asked with a smirk and a nod towards the other types of available food.

Re: Eat food!

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Maaaaybe," Dean said with a flirtatious grin.

Re: Eat food!

Molly watched Dean eye the heart-shaped boxes of chocolates. "I don't think they're going to attack."

Alex was all about the chocolate. It was one of her weaknesses, okay?

Re: Eat food!

[weefeetbigboots.livejournal.com]

Kaylee had taken a whole bunch of candy, and a little sampling of the aphrodisiacs. At least, the yummy looking ones. Oysters were kind of icky.

Re: Eat food!

[absolutesnark]

Summer loved chocolate, so she didn't mind sampling what was in the heart shaped boxes.

She considered taking some of the aphrodisiacs back to her room to share with Chris. No reason, really.

Much better, but not totally recovered, despite her rooftop chat with Dinah (and that smoking girl) and then Rikku, Momoko headed straight for the chocolates.

Mmmm. Even if it was mostly plain heavy American chocolate, she was feeling better by the ounce minute.
