Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part II

[omgnochecksyet]

Sure, someone could question just how all that ice cream was staying cold and not-melty without any immediately apparent means of refrigeration?

But really, of all the should-be-impossible things Fandom makes possible on a near-daily basis, this one at least was fairly benign. And delicious. So shh, don't question it, just enjoy it.

[OCD Up! This is the picnic post for general mingling. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are all here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

She giggled. "I don't know, maybe?" It wasn't like Alluka paid attention to that very much. "All my clothes still fit!"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2017]

Hannibal sighed as if put-upon. "I suppose you won't need to shop for new things, then."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2017]

[that_oldsaying]

Alluka paused.

That was a horrifying though, really.

"No, no," she said earnestly. "I always need more clothes! Papa Hannibal, things go out of style!"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2017]

[sharp_man]

"So they do," Hannibal said, smiling again. "Although I don't think your Papa Jono believes that. It will be time for next season's fashion shows soon."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2017]

[that_oldsaying]

"I do like watching those," Alluka admitted, since, well, they were fun. "And Papa Jono likes comfy. That's not bad, though it isn't... stylish."

Sorry, Papa Jono. It was true.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2017]

[sharp_man]

"True," Hannibal said. "I try to sneak stylish clothes into his wardrobe," he confessed. "If you see anything he would look good in, let me know."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2017]

[that_oldsaying]

"I'll look too," Alluka said, beaming, glad to have something to look for that'd help Papa Jono. "Though, though right now I'm not working. Sparkle said I could take a break until the store is better."

It had gotten sick or something? Alluka didn't really know. Sparkle had been deliberately vague, which was probably for the best since Alluka would've cried over the destruction of Demon Marcus.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2017]

[sharp_man]

"Quite right," Hannibal said. "But I'm certain it will be better soon. And Papa Jono will always need new clothing."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2017]

[that_oldsaying]

As she laughed at that, since it was true, she reached for her plate of chocolate things.

"What about you?" she asked. "Are, are you looking for new things too?"

Not that Papa Hannibal really needed them, but then, Alluka didn't need half the things in her closet either.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2017]

[sharp_man]

"I am always looking for new things," Hannibal said, since that was also quite true. "I'm less likely to need them, but I'm also happy to try them on should you find something for me."

He wouldn't promise to wear them, but then, Alluka did have a strong fashion sense, even if it did tend toward the frilly.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2017]

[that_oldsaying]

Well, she was a frilly sort of girl! Though Alluka was perfectly capable of finding clothes to suit other fashion types too.

"I'll keep an eye out for you too," she promised happily, surveying her chocolate. "Oh! Papa Hannibal, do you know how to make ice cream?"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2017]

[sharp_man]

"I do," Hannibal said. "Why? Did you want to eat some, or help me make it?"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2017]

[that_oldsaying]

Alluka looked torn for a moment, then asked, hopefully, "Can't I do both?"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2017]

[sharp_man]

"Of course you can," Hannibal assured her. "If you'd like, we can make it, and then eat it. Should we make cookies or cake to go with it?"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2017]

[that_oldsaying]

She had to think about that, since both of those things would be delicious with ice cream.

"Cake," she settled on, finally. "Um, um maybe a strawberry cake?"

And then she could have chocolate ice cream to go with it! She wasn't sure if Papa Hannibal would let her have chocolate everything, after all.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2017]

[sharp_man]

"That depends upon what sort of ice cream we make," Hannibal said. "Did you want something usual, or something a little different?"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2017]

[that_oldsaying]

She consulted with her bunny.

"Can something different still have some chocolate it in?" she checked.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2017]

[sharp_man]

"It can have anything that you like," Hannibal said. "Spices, peppers, wine or beer, miso - they would all go well with chocolate."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2017]

[that_oldsaying]

"That's an awful lot of choices," Alluka mused. "Have you tried them all?"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2017]

[sharp_man]

"I have, though it's been some time," Hannibal said. He grinned. "We could even make all of them, and you can take the extra back to your room to share with friends."

The ones that would eat it, or the stuffed kind; whichever.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2017]

[that_oldsaying]

Her eyes went big and delighted.

"We could do all of them?!"

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2017]

[sharp_man]

"We could," Hannibal said. "Then you'd know which one you like best."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2017]

[that_oldsaying]

"How would we find a cake that goes with everything then, though?" Alluka wasn't sure any cake could go with all the chocolate types he'd listed.

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2017]

[sharp_man]

"We would have to make it simply chocolate," Hannibal said. Then, because this was Alluka, "or many kinds of chocolate. That would go with any of those."

Re: General Mingling [Fall 2017]

[that_oldsaying]

Alluka was learning all sorts of things today!

"You can make one cake that's many kinds of chocolate?"

She was pretty sure Papa Hannibal was a magician.
