02 ☀ ACTION [ In the Quad for HEC ]

[brightens]

[ For the week, the Home Economics class was baking cookies and brownies and all sorts of other tasty treats, and Vanille knew she'd made the right choice to sign up for this particular class! Other than caring for the baby Chocobos, which had been loads of fun, they were also gardening and, now, baking, and the best part? Eating the products of their hard work, naturally! Of course, they weren't allowed to eat all of it, as they were to set up a table in the Quad to pass out treats to the other students, but it would be hard (no, impossible) and maybe even a little irresponsible to not sneak a cookie here or there, wouldn't it? After all, she had to make sure they still tasted good! ]

[ That was where Vanille was now, sitting at the table in the quad, waiting for anyone to come pick something up and try it out. ]

[ If they didn't hurry up, though, she was going to take matters into her own hands and start passing things out. Forcefully, if she had to! After all, they'd all worked so hard making them, and they were so delicious... Not to mention if she had to wait too long for someone to come pick them up, she might not be able to resist eating more of them herself. ]

[ Getting a little impatient, she starts calling out to the first person she sees: ]

Heeeeey! Want a cookie?

( ooc: Feel free to hop in and threadjack! :3 This is for the whole HEC class. )

[It's like Snow smelled them from clear across the Garden!]

Hey, cookies!

[brightens]

Snow!

[ You've just saved her from gaining five pounds! You really are a hero! ]

[ She scoops up a few cookies and moves from behind the table to skip over to him and give him the very obligatory Vanille Greeting Hug, before getting on her tip-toes to offer him one of the cookies. ]

Say 'ah'-!

[haha-steelguard.livejournal.com]

Who are you, Serah?

[Oh please. Being hyper like Vanille would burn off those calories in no time flat.]

[And, teasing aside, he obligingly opens his mouth for a cookie. And, uh, ducks a little, because let's face it, Vanille on her tiptoes still doesn't exactly have the height required for this maneuver all on her own.]

[ex_strongerthanshelo_266]

[Serah settles down at the table next to Vanille, eyes skimming over their stock curiously before smiling at her friend and classmate.]

I was sure you'd have eaten more of the cookies than that by now, Vanille.

[brightens]

I've been holding back..!

[ She says it almost like a whine, because she really does want to eat those cookies..! ]

[ex_strongerthanshelo_266]

Well, at least it looks like there'll be plenty for you to eat later?

[Serah might be subtly encouraging Vanille to eat another one, possibly because she's tempted to eat another cookie herself.]

If no one else wants them, that's going to leave it up to you and Snow to polish them all off.

[Rinoa leans back in her chair, staring up at the trees with a sigh. She hadn't even made these ones so they were actually edible and yet there still wasn't hardly anyone around.

Turning to look at her newest classmate, a chipper cadet who honestly reminded her of Selphie at times, she made a face.]

I'm beginning to think it'd be better if we just took the plates and wandered the halls looking for people to feed cookies to.

[Worst case scenario she could probably find a way to con Squall into eating a few despite his known distaste for most sweets. Too bad Zell wasn't around, they'd have no cookies left if he was.]

[beginsoffstage.livejournal.com]

That might actually work. [Gabriella giggles, helping herself to a cookie - hers, as she knows, are pretty delicious] People can't resist cookies if we ambush them on their way to classes.

[brightens]

That doesn't sound like a bad idea to me, either..!

Maybe it's just because no one needs to come to the quad today..? Maybe they're all studying...

We should go to the dorms, too! And the halls... And maybe the cafeteria, too?

[werepanther]

[Heck yes cookies! Don't mind Tom carefully snatching one from her hands.]

Thanks! I bet it tastes great. [Without hesitation, he plops it into his mouth. Yum.]

[brightens]

[ She watches him eat with a curious expression. ]

Weeeeeeeell?

[werepanther]

Told ya. [He's practically beaming as he grabs a couple more for the road] They're awesome. Honestly, the cookies're one of my favorite parts of HEC.

[Squall's not in Vanille's HEC class ... but he's cutting a shortcut through the Quad at the same time the class is going on. The sight of all the cadets makes him pause about three steps in, head lifting to take in everyone moving around.

He lowers the documents in his hands and looks around. So maybe heading out to the courtyard isn't that good of an idea right now...]

[rebellingheart]

[Unfortunately for Squall, the HEC class as a whole has shown up in honor of this occasion, the occasion being class obviously. On the bright side the cookie Rinoa's holding, as she heads over to see just what he's up to, isn't one that she made herself. Those ones had been declared a hazard and properly disposed of right after they were taken out of the oven.]

Squall!

[She waves with her free hand before walking a little faster.]

I didn't expect to see you down on the Quad today, but I guess at least this way I don't have to go all the way up to your office. [Smiling she holds out the cookie expectantly, gesturing for him to take it.] Don't worry, I'm pretty sure Mikuru made this one so it'll even taste good!

[renzokukens.livejournal.com]

I was on my way out to the courtyard. [He looks down at the cookie, wonders for a moment if she made it, but nope, apparently not. Reluctantly he reaches to take it; Squall's never been much of a junk food person.]

... Thanks.

[brightens]

[ It was probably also not a good idea to be within Vanille's line of sight without a cookie in your hand— because she moment she spots someone who isn't munching on sweets, she gathers up a few and skips over to offer it to him. ]

Here!

[lostmyhyperion.livejournal.com]

[Of course he'd be in the Quad when the class is out there. Seifer doesn't even have a chance to avoid them when a cookie is thrust into his face.]

If this is your way of poisoning me, you've got another thing coming.

[brightens]

[ She pouts, placing the hand that wasn't offering the cookie out to him on her hip. ]

It's not poisoned! Just try it!

/sneaks in

[rebellingheart]

Don't worry, I didn't make this cookie. [Rinoa smiles more amused at his response than anything else.] You're never going to let me forget the first time I made cookies are you?

[In his defense they had been worse than horrible and pretty toxic.]

[whiplashings.livejournal.com]

[Quistis has a small secret-- she has something of a sweet tooth. While she limits her intake of sweets usually, she can't help but eye the table set out by the Home Economics class in the Quad as she passes through that afternoon.

One cookie wouldn't hurt, would it? And it would be a shame if the cadets put in all their hard work and were left with too many leftovers.

Convinced that it would do more good than harm, Quistis approaches the table with a small smile.]

These look delicious.

[brightens]

You think so?

[ Vanille was ecstatic— passing out cookies so far had been a lot of fun, and hearing compliments on their job well done was nice, too. It was good that she could use her outgoing attitude for some good as well. As long as people were taking the cookies and enjoying them, then this was a great success! ]

Here! Try one! [ She picks up a plate and extends it to Quistis. ] They taste as good as they look..!

[xnotarunt.livejournal.com]

[ Then off a distance, you'll hear a cry of... ]

HEY! GET BACK HERE YOU CRAZY WEASEL!

[ Right before an ermine hops onto the table right in front of Vanille, waving it's long fluffy tail. ]

[brightens]

[ She yelps in surprise at first, but then smiles. ] Ah... O-okay!

[ She scoops up a shortbread cookie and hands it to the little critter. ]

[hotpinkwhirlwind]

[Sharpay's rehearsing class was told to take fifteen so she could run down here with a container and grab some cookies. Girl had a baker boyfriend at home!]

[brightens]

[ She's her running with container... And gets incredibly excited. ]

Hi! You're here for cookies, huh?
