Lunch, Lunch, Baby

[Mhairi Ankaa]

Brow furrow, "Creepy Halloween music?" Mhairi asks, "I thought there was actual harvest music, but knowing that someone else swears by creepy Halloween tunes...well, that gets a smile."

Quicksilver coated fingers pick up bits of pork that had fallen onto the plate, placing them to her lips she eats what they managed to grab and nods, "Ah, yeah. Baking's like that. You need to follow the recipe or it doesn't turn out right. But, I want to collect recipies not to make them the 'only way to cook' but more of a....a I don't know, like a roadmap, of us. You know, we each know flavors from different places, and I don't just mean from over There. It might give everyone..." Mhairi trails off, unsure if anyone would even want to hear her stupid idea.

Mhairi returns to her rootbeer float and her pulled pork sliders and waits to see what Circe would make of the answer she'd given.

[Circe]

Circe finished munching down her steak, giggling in amusement at Mhairi outburst. "Aw, too bad. Plus," she started cutting into her pie now. She didn't even elaborate on why Mhairi not dating Alex was "bad" in her mind. Instead, the elf leaned towards her mercurial colleague: "I honestly can't think of a way to phrase it in public that does not make it sound like a broken up romance."


Circe seemed to recall something about what Alex did for a living: spying. Like the elf did guns. Or something like that was it not? She wasn't sure, "Eh, leverage was important to anything where he, well we, last were. I was probably one of the few to have friends you could trust without leverage. And ya know what they say about bad habits. Plus," Circe winced, "It is a type of sales pitch for some, uh, services. Always gets exceptional results: good or bad." She tried a piece of pie, "Mmmmm. Fuck politics. Pie. Best to settle problems with pie."


Circe munched down her piece of pie while nodding in agreement with Donovan. She swallowed it, "Anybody in a real fight that demands ya fight fair is stupid, losing, or about to cheat. Not sure why gentlemen object though. Crotch shot hurts us ladies too."


And then there was the cooking. Circe ate pie, "I won't contribute aside from taste testing."

[Donovan Ackerman]

Donovan munched on his food in a manner that might make you think this could be the last meal he had in a while.

“Honestly, so long as it’s food it’s good enough for me,” he said to Sera. The courts sometimes like to compete in what they offered to eat at their parties. Springs especially. However, Donovan was all to aware that a meal was a meal and that you should be grateful for it. Whether it was burnt toast or frosted cake, it all came down to what you needed to survive in the end.

Mhairi’s comment about harvest music gets a shrug. He’d not sure what she’s getting at. This was why he hated double talk. Plain speak was so much easier. You worked with the soil you had though. “Halloween; harvest; s’all the same if you ask me. Music you hear durin’ the Fall. Got a certain magic to it when it comes to plants and getting’ a good crop yield is what I’m sayin’.”

The Autumn Queen continued to talk about her cookbook. Donovan still wasn’t sure what she meant. Roadmap? Was this supposed to be Hedge thing? He shrugged. If it was really that important to her and she wanted his help, she’d talk to him were she wasn’t pontificating nonsense. Until then he’d continue to consume his meal like there was no tomorrow.

He rolled his eyes at Circe still trying to see a romance between the Summer King and his Autumnal counterpart. There was belligerent sexual tension and there was what they had. Which wasn’t it. He would have snorted but he was too busy finishing off his drink.

He did manage to swallow before chuckling at her opion of crotch shots. “Too true,” he said raising a glass. “A kick in the pants is still a kick in the pants.”

He picked up his fork with the intent of chowing down some more before realizing he had finished all the courses laid before him.

“Well ladies, it’s been great but I should probably be goin’,” he said.

“Thanks for the meal,” he nodded to Mhairi.

We're past the month mark. Let's wrap up.

[Mhairi Ankaa]

"Why is it too bad?" Mhairi asks, wondering just where the elf's mind had gone to think that her and Brown not being together got a 'too bad' response.

"I guess that true, but he came out of the gate assuming the same about us, here. And you know what they say about people who assume," Mhairi says around as she sips her own drink.

"That's true...I guess." Mhairi says, there was many a shade to Autumn, and it was all a part of the whole, but something that wasn't invoking Fear by it's nature would probably help plants more then something that did. "But my knowledge about plants is very rudimentary. So I'll just bow to the expert." said, smiling at Donovan.

A laugh, "True enough!" She sorta wanted to see the Summers, fight, maybe not each other, but she's sure it would be something to see.

"Are you sure?" Mhairi asks as Donovan finishes. "Sure, anytime." and Mhairi found that she meant it. Donovan was well, himself and smelled like dung, but he was better company then the other Summer in Sacramento.

Sounds good, one last post then I'll close it up

[Circe]

"Eh, for fun reasons inside my head," Circe giggled when she answered Mhairi's query. She noted Donovan's eye roll and gave him a look. Before it changed with a had nod to emphasize "yeah I know." Those two "royals" would not be getting together but that didn't stop Circe from finding it funny. If for nothing else then how both Alex and Mhairi reacted to such accusations.

Circe finished her pie too, as Donovan started to leave. "Already dude? Eh well, see you around Donovan," she gave a nod to her fellow Summer before looking to the others. "Guess I'm done too anyhow. Didn't even plan to eat this early but," she grinned at Mhairi, "Good food is good food. I'll remember this joint," she got out some worn twenties to pay for her food, "thanks."

Cool, this has been fun. Circe is very, different from the ling I'm used to playing.

[Seraphina]

Mhairi and Alex a thing?! The thought almost made her spit out her coffee.

Bites are taken and coffee sipped as she listened, not really having much more to add to the convo.

As talk turns to people leaving, she nods, "I should probably hit the gym or go for a run, these pancakes are going to go straight to my hips." she wasn't really worried about it. Gaining weight hadn't been an issue for her before.

"But this was fun! We need to do this more often, just have amazing food and chat!" she liked chatting and liked it more when it involved food.

Sorry I got behind, it was a fun scene!

[Mhairi Ankaa]

Conversations come to a close, lunch is finished and paid for and the Lost head off to do whatever it is that they do after lunch.

Yes, thanks for the fun scene!
