I mean I gotta and you already know which one

[regnitz]

[ Ever since Fie had learned the story of mistletoe, he's entirely blaming her for finding it wherever he happens to be-- no, scratch that, wherever he and Jusis happen to be, and as they're bickering over who gets to borrow the latest book from the library...

It falls onto the book itself and he groans. ]

Fie, I swear...

8!

[minorcannon]

[ So decorating a bracer's guild is a pretty big deal, and Tita is absolutely gung-ho to get started. She's got armfuls of tinsel and fluffy garlands, she's got a box of ornaments balanced on top, and she... cannot see... over any of it, so sorry, Joshua.

This kid is running right into your back. ]

[ What happens when you get a pragmatic person and an optimistic person together?

Well, in this thread, you get cookies. Or whatever may come out of Maya's attempt to do so, and her baking is only slightly better than her driving, which isn't... saying much.

But hey, at least they have cute aprons. ]

Okay--!! Ingredients acquired, oven prepped! Pick your poison, Eizen!

[ she means the first recipe. ]

wheeze

[alcobrawlic]

[ Wow. She comes over here to drink coffee in December, a nice, safe activity... but her eyes are drawn to what's hanging right above the counter and Sara lets out a faintly amused snort. ]

Is that always there? Do you like the older crowd that much?

[whereabout]

[ You can take the boy out of Ouroboros, but you can't take the ninja-like assassin reflexes out of the boy.

You can, thankfully, take the "deadly reprisal" part out of them, it would seem, since Joshua reacts with lightning speed to...turn around, drop to one knee, and catch Tita by the shoulders before she can bounce backwards and fall. ]

[kreuzen]

[ Jusis...does not say anything for a long moment as he picks up the offending sprig, flicks it aside, and turns his gaze upward, to the second floor.

She's not showing her face, but she's quite definitely still there, he's sure.

If looks could kill. ]

send me whoever you think would be the funniest, also 1

[spinatalltale]

[wherever this mystery Kia character may be, whatever they are doing this fine holiday season, they are totally walking underneath some mistletoe somewhere. and when they do, there is suddenly a very loud gasp]

Hark! Do my eyes deceive me? Has yet another poor, innocent soul fallen victim to the holiday's most phenomenally fiendish feint???

[soooo anyway, there's a girl dressed in pink and purple and a skirt of books standing nearby. hi]

Alas! They stand underneath the doorframe as the small sprig of shrubbery hangs above their head, like a countdown to their untimely doom! Will someone come join them underneath the mistletoe's gentle embrace? Or are they doomed to loneliness, to standing their awkwardly while their beloved never comes to rescue them from the clutches of holiday traditions!!

[. . . nice first impressions, tho. right?]

[skiouros]

[ His poison? Does she know about his secret ingredient? No, there's no way she would.

Well, time to bake. Hopefully, the oven doesn't spew fire again. ]

We'll make palmiers. Are you ready?

[ Considering he's possessive of the kitchen when he's in it, she had better be. ]

I'm sorry

[sylfied]

... Hi, Magilou. Bye, Magilou.

[ SHE'S JUST GOING TO TURN TO GO. ]

[regnitz]

Just... take the book. I'm going to have a talk with our classmate.

[ He's going to yell. A lot. ]

[scooptimistic]

I was born ready!

[ Probably not a lie, Maya can't stop, won't stop.

Even though what the hell is a palmier. ]

i'm wheezing

[spinatalltale]

-- hey, Fie!! Don't leave me already, the party only just got started!

[SHE FEELS SO ABANDONED 8(]

[minorcannon]

Wh-- Joshua! [ Well, now she can see, since the box of ornaments just gracefully slid off. ]

S-sorry... but thanks for catching me!

You wanted a Lancer? Here's a Lancer that doesn't use a lance.

[trapofthewilds]

[ I mean. Sure. You could say people could hook up and get together at a party and all, but why hang out there where there is a large crowd at that just makes everything such a hassle when you can just stay inside the kitchen and chow down some some of these kick ass cookies?

THIS GUY is more than glad to take the case! Also is that some eggnog being spiked over there? Sure, that's gotta go good to dunk in, right? Right. There is a lot of red flags being made with this guy in here but... sumerian dudes don't give a flip about consequences so DOWN THE HATCH!! Is that mistletoe there? Yeah, sure looks like it. DOWN THE HAT-- actually no, he'll be playing with it curiously though with a glass of eggnog in one hand and a piece of cookie hanging out in his mouth. ]

Mm. Not quite the food I'm familiar with, but it have its unique charm to it. I wonder if this will add some flavor to it?

[sylfied]

You know when you say things like that, it only makes people want to run away, right?

[ SHE HAS TO KNOW THAT BY NOW. ]

[spinatalltale]

[jabs a finger at Fie]

False! Impromptu performances in public spaces are all the rage these days. Who knows? I may have acquired a few new fans with that little number.

[arseid]

[ oh sweet Aidios no, it's far too early for someone to die-- so sorry, strange guy, there's a young woman hurrying towards you and grabbing his wrist. ]

Forgive me for my rudeness, but that isn't edible!

[ calm down, Laura. ]

[jokered]

You'll have to take that one up with Boss. I don't have a say in the decorations here.

[but, you know.]

I'm a good boy, I'm not here to kiss every girl that sits at the counter.

[alcobrawlic]

Oh, good. I'm not going to have to give you a teacherly lecture just yet.

[ how would she even lecture him on something like this?? ]

[sylfied]

... [ she just pointedly glances around at all the people who are definitely avoiding eye-contact. ]

[skiouros]

[ Maya will be educated today, for Eizen is a master baker of palmiers. ]

Listen carefully. I won't repeat myself.

These cookies are also known as elephant ears. You'll see why in a moment. Since we've got the puff pastry sheets on hand, we won't need to make them from scratch. [ This way, there's one less room for an accident. ] Start by sprinkling sugar on the board, then roll out the puff pastry.
