Dessert:

John grabs some minestrone and takes a seat at a table. Carefully, he pulls out a pad of paper and begins doodling absently.

Valetine's Day looms. What to get, what to get...

Jack comes in, grabs some roast beast, and sees Jack. "Hey!" He grins and asks, deadpan, "Do anything interesting this weekend?"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"Hey!" At the second part of Jack's question, John kinda boggles. "Um, besides the snow monsters? Nope. You?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

Jack cocks an eyebrow. "Snow monsters? No, really?" He sits down. "I just hope the chef doesn't realize I'm the one who's responsible for the sudden lack of oil in the kitchen. Otherwise, it might be fillet of Jack on the menu tomorrow."

Veronica decides to stop by the cafeteria for lunch. She's not exactly in the best of moods, given her morning.

She grabs some chicken fettucini with broccoli and a dessert and then spots Crichton. Remembering what he said about her on the radio, she goes over and sits across from him, a smile on her face.

"I haven't seen you in ages," she greets him. Her expression is cheerful, but there is an undertone of something malicious in her voice.

John, being an idiot oblivious sort, smiles back.

"Schedule's kinda weird this semester," John says, nodding. "Hard to get out in public. How're you?"

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"Oh, I'm wonderful," she says, the sarcasm more apparent in this statement. "By the way, your radio broadcast was fascinating."

As Pip stops by to sit with Victor and Walter, he sees Veronica and taps her on the shoulder. "Hey, did you get my message?"

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

She turns and smiles at Pip. "No, what's up?"

Walter surveys the menu and decides to start a Substitute Chef fan club. He then loads his tray with his usual groaning selection of everything.

Although he passes on dessert. Too chilly.

He then selects today's smoking section and has a seat, sending up the signal that will attract other lung-destroying students. Or just Pip, if he eats today.

Victor came in and grabbed some Fettucine Alfredo with chicken AND broccoli mmm...broccoli!, and decided to skip on dessert. He didn't trust anything frozen at the moment.

Ugh... Walter was in the somking section. Well, for all the times Walter hadn't smoked around him, he could probably endure it for once.

"Come here often?" he asked, sitting across from Walter.

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Walter looked up and took a last drag off his cigarette before crushing it out. "With this new guy's cooking, as often as I can."

He took a bite of his roast beast and rolled his eyes in delight. "He is wonderful."

After a few more bites of food, he slowed down and grinned at Victor. "Hey did you hear that we have a substitute principal? We really should do something to welcome him."

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

Victor rolled his eyes a little. He'd have to show Walter some date movies if he was going to use any more romantic slang around him.

He grinned, though, at Walter's suggestion. "Okay, so we've done the golf cart thing, and you and Pippi have been on junk food duty..." He thought a moment. "Maybe glue on his phone? Nah, it'd probably dry too quick. Flypaper and feathers?"

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip notes that the smoking section has already been started and heads over to expand it. "You gentlemen mind me joining you or will you be making out in a few moments?"

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

Scowling in a mostly put-on manner, Walter flicks a piece of broccoli just past the right side of Pip's head.

"Sit down and tell me if you have any clever ideas for welcoming the substitute principal."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

Pip dodges the broccoli easily and takes a seat. He reached into his pocket and fumbles around with a cigarette carton. "Well, hard to say. I don't know him well enough. He seems way more laid back than Smith. I think he'd find anything involving a golf cart funny rather than annoying."

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

Victor smirked. "Don't be jealous, Pip. I'm sure one fo these days you'll be having tonsil for lunch."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I hear he is more a midnight snack sort of person."

[strongestgirl.livejournal.com]

Pippi doesn't even bother to ask, she plops down in the smoking section with roast beast beef, munching happy on a snow cone.

"I got twinkies for Smith's inbox... But it's not him..." she crinkles her nose.

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

"Save them for Wednesday," Victor replied. "We could use them."

Jessica gracefully enters the cafeteria, not really trying to impress anyone, just being herself. She smiles as she helps herself to some fettucine aldredo with broccoli, steamed carrots, and lemon sherbet. She takes a seat at an empty table, dusting a few crumbs off it with a handkerchief, then removes a romance novel from her purse and flips through it as she eats.

Archie helps himself to a bit of roast beef and Yorkshire pudding and three bowls of minestrone. In the mood to meet new people, he spots an unfamiliar girl and approaches her table. "Er, hello," he says, suddenly realizing she's reading. "Would you mind terribly if I joined you, or would I be interrupting your leisure time?"

[mrs-tate.livejournal.com]

Jessica beams at the friendly yet unfamiliar face as she looks up from her book. "Oh! Hello there..." she says with a big smile, closing her book and putting it down. "No no, not at all, I would love for you to join me, please."

Edward is irritable and has not had a good meal in quite a few days. He glares at the food, takes some of the alfredo and plops down at an empty table.

Han takes the roast beef and a side of fettucini with chicken and broccoli. The discharge orders said get plenty of iron.
