Faculty Lounge, Monday, noonish

[carbontelepath.livejournal.com]

Emma had found her office, but as it did not yet have enough white furniture or booze, she'd quickly relocated to the faculty lounge. That might not have white furniture either, but it did have a sofa which she was currently lounging in while reading 'Betty Crocker's Cookbook'. Every once in a while she picked up a red pen and made comments in the margins. A cup of tea was steaming happily on the table beside her, and her fifth attempt at muffins were piled up on a tray. They were probably not poisonous.

Comments

The Doctor came into the lounge and eyed the muffins.

"Those edible?"

Emma lowered the cookbook to look at him. "...Yes," she decided after a moment. They were edible, after all.

[nine-and-ears.livejournal.com]

"What flavor?" he asked. "Banana nut?"

[carbontelepath.livejournal.com]

"Um," said Emma. She looked at the muffins. "They should be plain. And tasty." There was possibly an emphasis on 'should'.

John wandered in to get a cup of coffee before heading to his office. He glanced at the muffins, then glanced again, not sure if he should try to eat one or exorcise it.

"The muffins won't kill you," Emma informed him after a moment. She was almost sure about that.

"I think I'll pass anyway, thanks," John said. Better safe than sorry after all. He'd never live it down if he got possessed by a demonic muffin.

"Suit yourself," Emma shrugged, and decided that this was a man to watch. She frowned a little at a stray thought from John, and sat up, folding her arms under her breasts. "My muffins are not demonic!"

Aly hadn't been to her office yet, but she wandered up to the school to make sure nothing had been burned down or completely changed over the holiday. She entered the teacher's lounge, somewhat surprised to see so many people, and headed over to get a cup of coffee.

"Afternoon, all."

[carbontelepath.livejournal.com]

Emma looked up from the book again. "Hello," she said politely. "There are muffins if you want."

Surely, someone would eat the damned things?

[tricksy-spy.livejournal.com]

Aly glanced at the muffins and made a quick calculation based on the fact that she had seen Alanna attempt to cook many, many times. "No, thank you. I ate just before coming up to school." She smiled at Emma. "New teacher, I take it?"

[carbontelepath.livejournal.com]

Damn it.

"Emma Frost, Home Economics," Emma nodded.

After his first class, Doctor Orpheus strode into the faculty lounge with a platter of leftover chocolates.

How is it there were left overs after offering said confections to a class full of students?

It's a mystery.

[carbontelepath.livejournal.com]

Emma gave the chocolates a hopeful look.

[bluewindbreaker.livejournal.com]

"Greetings fellow teacher! Would... Uh..."

If Emma had been trying to read Orpheus' mind before he addressed her she'd notice an "absence of sound" as she might notice when she's being blocked. When he does notice her it switches abruptly to the sort of absence of sound that is the result of absence of thought as he takes in how she's dressed.

"... Bon bon?"

"I wouldn't mind a chocolate if you're offering," Emma smiled, amused at the two definitely very different states of blankness the man presented.

So there was a lounge. Huh.

Wade walked in, saw Emma and then saw the muffins. He shrugged and took one. Might be interesting to see if Emma Frost's cooking had the same affect as most poisons.

He took a bite of the muffin and made a face. "Did you use salt instead of sugar?"

[carbontelepath.livejournal.com]

"They look the same!" Emma said, annoyed. "Anyone could've made the same mistake."

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Wade put the half eaten muffin back in the pile. "So, the class is just going to be you showing the kids how to call for takeout?"

Flynn wandered in, after falling asleep on the couch in his office, having put in a marathon weekend getting things ready.

Scratching his head, he looked for the coffee pot and a mug with which to drink said coffee.

He nodded politely at the hot blonde sitting on the sofa.

[carbontelepath.livejournal.com]

Emma nodded back. "Good afternoon."

[kevin-flynn.livejournal.com]

"Good afternoon to you, my dear lady." Flynn casually walked over and bowed before her, taking her hand and kissing it lightly.

"Kevin Flynn, Boy Genius." He introduced himself very properly as he always did to attractive women.

Rose entered the lounge and saw the pile of muffins. The looked a bit like they were listing to the left.

[carbontelepath.livejournal.com]

Emma spotted Rose eyeing the muffins and said, hopefully, "Feel free to take one!"

[rose-bad-wolf.livejournal.com]

Rose poked at one muffin, well it didn't disintegrate. She took one and slowly bit into one. She blamed her oral fetish on the Doctor, really. It's all his fault.
