Cupcake War Crimes, Take 2, Thursday [8/11]

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

Things looked normal in the Home Ec classroom this week. Hopefully even your TA was fully recovered from her bout of greyness. None of this week’s cupcakes were grey either, though you wouldn’t be able to tell that yet since they were all still covered.

"I hope everyone is well," Stark said, looking over the students after they arrived. "Recovered from last week. Everything that happened. And if there’s anything we can help with," yes, he was volunteering Anders for support services too, "please, let us." If nothing else, you know these two will offer baked goods.

Anders gave Stark a surprised look for just a second, but he was all right with being volunteered, he supposed. "And I’m just gonna throw this out there so you know before trying it yourselves in a situation. If you’re gonna use old stale cupcakes as a weapon, aim carefully, and be ready to run if they decide your ammo’s tasty." He cleared his throat and uncovered a large tray of chocolate-based cupcakes. "These are -- tasty in theory, but maybe the idea that chocolate makes everything better ain’t all it’s cracked up to be. What do you guys think?"

To be fair, the dark chocolate cupcake with the caramel cumin buttercream frosting looked pretty good, and the maple syrup cupcake with brown sugar smoked bacon . . . well, bacon did make everything better, right? On the other hand, there was that chocolate cupcake coated in potato chips, and the one with the jalapeno on top. It was really a mixed bag -- or plate, more accurately.

"Chocolate or bacon," Anders went on, snagging one of the maple syrup and bacon cupcakes for himself. "That’s your discussion for the day, and there’s plenty of both in with the ingredients when you get to baking."

Considering the conversation he'd had with Kate the other day, Toby was... very amused that the subject of cupcakes-as-ammo was brought up today in class.

The puppy with him didn't seem to care too much about that, being more interested in attempting to sample some of the cupcakes. "Bacon, yes," Toby told him sternly. "Chocolate, no." He didn't know if the rule about not giving chocolate to dogs really applied when said dog was usually a human, but he didn't really think it was worth the risk finding out.

"Student or pet?" Stark asked, looking at the dog. He was also trying to determine, by looking Toby over, whether he was recovered from last week.

"Student," Toby said. "My roommate, actually. Who isn't normally in this class, but I didn't want him to like, chew up my shoes or something out of boredom." Or pee on his bed.

As far as recovery went, there was no trace of the alien infection or whatever-it-was... except for the line of grey scales running up Toby's spine. But since that was easily covered up (and really, the only reason *he* even knew it was there was that he'd happened to catch a glimpse in the mirror out of the corner of his eye after his shower yesterday), Toby was ignoring it.

"Oh." Stark nodded. "I never did that. Turned into any animals. Seemed like everyone else did, sometimes." He looked down and addressed the dog. "I hope you're back to yourself, soon. Unless you like being a dog." You never knew.

Looking back up at Toby he gave a small smile. "You look like you are back to yourself now. That's good. I'm glad."
