Campus Feast [Action, OTA]
Who: Porrim Maryam & OTA
What: Fun at the Campus Feast!
When: November 22nd, Campus Potluck Day
Where: Center Campus on the grass!
Warnings: None anticipated
Porrim wasn't sure what to expect from the Campus Potluck. This was the first time she would be likely to meet the large variety of individuals that made up her campus: ones from literal different universes with different cultures, different rules of physics. Supposedly there would be no flying or throwing fireballs, because of the way the campus worked (worked how? she had no idea).
It was also her first social gathering since officially leaving her parents house. She has been to parties, certainly. Including some pretty shady ones with lots of drugs and underage drinking. None with demigods and lizardmen. Would an official party at a college campus be way too normal for her, or too weird?
Porrim was bringing a dish of Puchero, a Filipino dish of stewed beef and plantains. It had been a good orientation-challenge, forcing her to go to town and buy ingredients, and then track down her Residence Hall's communal kitchen. The dish had come out... passable. It wasn't as good as her mom's, which started her on an early homesickness minipanic, which she had gotten under control. Mostly.
She was pretty interested in seeing what other people had brought, though. Once she set her dish down, she started exploring the more unique (or at least unidentifiable) dishes she could find.
"Hmm, who brought this one?" she said aloud, examining one particular dish.
