01 - Close To Home (Action, open)

 {Sebastian + Sylva Twins}

Unfortunately for Sebastian, his roommate is a nocturnal miqo'te, and what the Sylva twins consider a good time for dinner and studying happens to be about 3 am. 

At least the smells of baking aren't that bad to wake to?

{Open To All, one or both of the twins}

Somewhere, most likely on one of the campus's many lawns, a pair of miqo'te have settled to nap.

Is it too early to nap, perhaps before noon?

They're Keepers of the Moon, this is their usual sleeping time. Who cares that it’s January and cold outside still. It’s the usual sleeping time.

Wake one? Wake both? Continue on to class? See how soft those gently twitching ears are? Astefe'li and Viliandre seem to be soundly asleep, so who knows when they'll wake on their own.

{Open To All, one or both again}

Around the time that everyone was coming back, if they left for winter break, the twins can be seen walking towards the dorms/onto campus with what appears to be a Copious amount of...jerky.

They look awfully pleased, judging by the tail swishes at least. 

Astefe'li's ears perk toward anyone crossing their path and holds out a chunk of jerky that doesn't appear to have been gnawed on yet. "Want to try some?"

“We made it at home.” Viliandre’s tail swishes a few more times in what appears to be lazy pleasure.

"DO I!? YES, I THINK SO!" The cheery skeleton takes a strip and wedges it between the pages he was so absorbed in.

"HOMEMADE BOOKMARKS, HUH? NEATO! THANKS!!"

[innercactuar]

That totally isn't... what....

"... Maybe. Might not be good for the book, though...."

[healersgild]

"Usually you eat it... It's meat."

Her ears turn down. The meat itself will be fine but, the book...

[cool_skeleton]

"WHAT!? HOW COULD A BOOKMARK BE BAD FOR BOOKS!?!? IS IT A SOLVENT?? WILL IT WEAR OUT ITS SPINE???" Papyrus doesn't make enough money for replacements!

Then catgirl explained.

"OH!!! WELL WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY SO!???" The meatmark is removed.

"WOULD THAT MEAN YOU TWO...ARE CHEFS???"

[innercactuar]

"It's meat, it's still a little oily. No good for the paper..." And y'know, the uneven thickness might not be good for the spine either.

His ears perk, although the way his tail is flicking, "Yes, a little." it might not be a good thing he's a cook?

[healersgild]

She sees that tail flick. "Astefe'li can't be one on his own," for safety reasons, "but I am!"

...she's just not going to say that they thought it was obvious that it was meat instead of a bookmark.

[cool_skeleton]

OHOHOHO! THE SENIOR GIRL TEACHING THE STANDUP GUY!! AN ARRANGEMENT I'M VERY FAMILIAR WITH!!!

[Then the happiness of nostalgia is replaced by suspicion. He peers down at the book again.]

IS THAT...GREASE...!!!??

[innercactuar]

Yes? [ His tail flicks another way. ]

Do you not know how meat works because you have none?

[cool_skeleton]

WHAT??? OF COURSE I KNOW ABOUT MEAT!! HOW ELSE DO YOU EXPLAIN ALL THIS BEEF!!!

[He flexed one non-existent bicep to prove the point. Just go along with it and make this easier for everyone.]

GREASE! MY ARCH-NEMESIS!! NOW NOT EVEN BOOKS ARE SAFE FROM ITS VILLAINY!!! WELL, YOU COME ROUND TO PAPYRUS' PLACE, AND ONCE MY ROOMY LIFTS THE BAN, I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT REAL COOKING'S ALL ABOUT!!

There are worst ways of being woken up in the middle of the night than the smell of baking so Sebastian tries not to look too grumpy when he appears, hair sticking up at odd angles and his eyes squinted slightly against the light. He scratched his stomach under his t-shirt and yawned.

"Something smells...cooked." He's too tired to think of a better description.

[healersgild]

"Brother, could you turn to chapter three for the terms again?" She hasn't quite noticed Sebastian yet, sticking her arm into the oven to pull out another tray of cookies - small and soft and...well, that's probably fruit not meat.

Once the tray is safely not in her hands or on anything that'll burn, she waves at her brother's roommate. Hopefully the trays of cookies cooling explains the smell without having to give a more detailed description.

Or Astefe'li can explain.

[innercactuar]

"Ahh.... Which chapter three..." Probably her book's chapter three, not your own, Astefe'li.

His ears perk then sort of .. bashfully flatten. ... Then perk again.

"Do you want cookies?"
