[ OPEN ] That haunted house was our tunnel of love.

[hostage]

Date & Time: After dinnertime on October 31 (forward-dated)
Location: Cafeteria
Characters: OPEN!
Summary: As mentioned here, it's half a cookie-baking party and half a Halloween celebration.
Warnings: Warnings in subject lines if necessary (???)
Notes: Party-style! Just tag in and tag around. And don't cause too much trouble or you'll be, um, escorted out.

[For anyone who's been at any of the previous baking sessions, the setup is much the same, only larger in scale now that they're in a cafeteria instead of Unit 409's kitchen. Supplies and ingredients are everywhere, including food dye, nuts, sprinkles, and frosting. Anyone who's new at this will at least have gotten five minutes of instruction from Jesse, though the recipe is written and on display for anyone who's forgotten details. It's all very simple and easy-to-understand, because your host is also very simple and easy-to-understand. How exactly you decide to flavor and decorate the cookies is left up to you.

The cafeteria itself has been livened up with Halloween decorations. Snacks have been provided so the party-goers don't end up eating all the cookies meant for newcomers. And there's music! Some of it appropriately themed, some of it the hip hop and dubstep that can typically be found on Jesse's iPod. The atmosphere is relaxed and people can be expected to make a mess.]

Always completely fine!

[About to thank Caspian for taking care of the waiting tray, Fili leaves it at a nod that doubles as a response to Caspian's question.]

You've guessed it, I'm that brother. If you're looking for Kili, he's over there. [He points into the direction where he last saw Kili getting various ingredients on himself.]

I will say hello to him! After I taste these cookies. [He can't help a grin at that.]

Is this your first time with the cookie baking?

[walkingarsenal]

[He chuckles.] What gave us away?

[ready_to_bloom]

You look about as lost as I feel. [Grins at Fili and makes an admission.] I never baked a cookie before today.

[walkingarsenal]

Luckily it can't be just us – and judging by those, you must be a quick learner. [He waves his hand at Caspian's cookies.]

[ready_to_bloom]

Would you like to try one? [Caspian offers him one, which luckily isn't too hot right now. Be his guinea pig, Fili!]

[walkingarsenal]

[Accepting, Fili breaks the cookie in half and holds one of the pieces back out to Caspian.]

-- The rest are for the new arrivals, after all. [And he fearlessly pops his half into his mouth.]
