[Open/Closed] All hail the wank storm!

[terreifying]

Characters: Open except for the kitchen, which is closed to Chidori and Maya
Setting: Throughout the Tower and finally in the cafeteria kitchen
Format: Anything goes
Summary: After Rei's network post, Rei's gonna gather some friends to eat popcorn with while enjoying the network chaos
Warnings: None right now

1. All over the Tower

Rei can be spotted on any one of the "outdoor" floors, skipping around happily and peering around for anything that resembles corn. She's really excited for finally getting friends to enjoy something with.

2. Kitchen/Closed to Maya and Chidori

Sadly, there seemed to be no corn in the Tower...yet. But Rei has a backup plan. If there's no popcorn, then make cookies! With that thought, she bounces into the kitchen.

[Chidori grabs bowls and measuring cups before heading to the fridge for eggs and milk.]

Honestly, if they're all really getting so riled over this, I'm not sure how many of them we want to lure.

[terreifying]

What about the old guy who started getting butthurt first?

[The flour and eggs are placed on the counter. Next, Rei starts looking for SUGAR.]

[floreatnoctem]

Which one is that?

[Honestly, Chidori very seldom pays attention to other people's posts unless she thinks they might turn up something useful.]

[terreifying]

Oh, the old guy who posted first calling everybody stupid.

[floreatnoctem]

Oh- you mean Sir Gandalf? I'm sure he'd appreciate the baked goods, if perhaps not the intent.

[terreifying]

[She nods eagerly.]

Yeah, him. Let's invite him to take some cookies and stop being mad.

[floreatnoctem]

I don't see why not.

[A pause mid-search for bowls.]

...I wonder if there are any chocolate chips around...?

[terreifying]

[Rei sets the sugar shaker down on the counter as well.]

Can't we just use the candies?

[floreatnoctem]

I think they taste awful.

[Weird and chalky and uuuugh.]

Besides, I don't really trust those candies. We can make two batches, if you want. One with, one without.

[terreifying]

Hm...yeah! We can do that!

[Because Rei has no problem with Ruana's candy.]

Let's ask the third person what she wants!

[floreatnoctem]

[It's not so much that it's Ruana's as that it tastes... kind of awful to her. Chidori's a bit picky about her sweets though.]

Who might that be?

[terreifying]

She's a girl our age. She has black hair and bangs like yours and she was wearing some traditional jewelry.

[floreatnoctem]

...I haven't spoken to her, but I think I know who you mean.

[Hard to miss someone dressed like that, after all.]

I suppose we can start mixing in the meantime.

[terreifying]

What's her name?

[Rei had never asked her that.]

Mixing sounds good.

[She turns to the ingredients.]

Hm...do we put the eggs in first?

[floreatnoctem]

Don't know.

[Chidori doesn't know everyone.]

Flour first, not eggs.

[terreifying]

[Rei picks up a measuring cup and starts scooping up the flour.]

Are we gonna make only one batch? Or two? Maybe two since we're gonna be be giving them away?

[floreatnoctem]

Two works. I don't think more than that is a wise idea. They might not like it.

[And by 'they' she of course means the tower management.]

[terreifying]

[She laughs and shakes her head.]

Who doesn't like more cookies? I think even Ruana likes sweets, right?

[floreatnoctem]

Yes, but that doesn't mean they'll like us having anything they don't give us. Some of them are a little strange like that.

[terreifying]

[She quickly makes a face.]

We aren't babies.

[She had already rebelled against her "parent" and taken her first step toward growing up.]

And the materials we use came from them. That should be enough.

[floreatnoctem]

[Chidori looks, for a moment, slightly amused.]

No, we're lab rats. That's worse.

[She starts measuring out flour carefully, shrugging.]

They just like to let us think we have any kind of choice in what they wind up doing to us.

[terreifying]

[Rei doesn't know what to say to that, as she had chosen to participate in her first experiment.]

Maybe next time they should make a sign-up sheet. I'd sign up. I'm pretty hard to hurt, after all.

[floreatnoctem]

Most of us here don't want to be experimented on. But if you want to make the suggestion, go ahead. I doubt they'll listen.

[terreifying]

Then I'll pop it into the suggestion box. Next to the request for popcorn.

[floreatnoctem]

...did you really request popcorn?
