- Steamed Carrots

- Roast Beast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding

- Pad Thai

- Minestrone

Dessert:
- Lemon Sherbet

- Snow Cones

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...

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.

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.

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

[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."

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.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

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

[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?"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

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."

[walter-n-wires.livejournal.com]

"I thought we would bring the golf cart back at the end of the semester, but it has been played out for now. Jaye apparently already used glitter to good effect, too."

He took a bite of broccoli and waved his fork around a little. "We should find out a little more about him. We want to tweak his nose, not make him murderous."

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John pauses from eating his minestrone when he hears the tone of voice change.

"Oh. Yeah?" His eyes begin scanning for the nearest exit. Maybe she'll believe there's a snow monster behind her. "Thanks?"

Oh, what a stupid thing to say.

[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."

[alchemic-bean.livejournal.com]

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.

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

Why John's relieve that Jack took the oil and didn't already have it in his posession is something he doesn't wanna think about.

"Fillet of Jack might taste good," John says absently.

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

"I'm thinking next week, I'll go for three guys in one night, spice things up a bit. You free?"

[anole-x.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, true," Victor agreed, taking a bite of chicken or is it? OH NOES!. "We should swing by after lunch and see if he's there. Just innocently wish him hello, like the good students we are."

[cyclopeanmerc.livejournal.com]

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?"

[anextimeagent.livejournal.com]

This was more fun that food any day. Jack shoves his plate away and grins at John. "Why, Crichton, I had no idea you wanted to... taste me."

[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?"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

John chokes on his soup.

"Oh, uh, that." He blinks a few times. "I suppose saying I was just kidding around to get a few laughs wouldn't work, huh?"

[whitedeathpod.livejournal.com]

"What?" John finally realizes what he's just said and turns a very bright shade of red. "Wait, I didn't mean that like it sounded. I mean...maybe, you, uh...look a snow monster!"

And John points to somewhere near the door.

[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."

[marsheadtilt.livejournal.com]

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