'Don't worry about it, It was nothing. You're ok right ? The popcorn seems to have suffered the most' She giggled. "Yeah, I'm okay. Thank you for asking. And yes. Sadly, my popcorn has suffered." She fakes being sad before giggling again like a fiend. Ares then stands and offers his arm to her. 'Come on now, let's go together then. I'm also quite hungry' She hides a smile behind her hand. He is such a gentleman. She takes his arm and as he leads them to the kitchen, she skips a little. Good to know she wasn't the only hungry one.

'So, what do you want ? Maybe we can get this pizza ready ? I'm sure the people are hungry for something too. It wouldn't be bad to get everyone something' "Pizza works!" She says. As long as she gets to eat something. As Ares prepares the pizzas, she begins snooping around, exploring. Though, he heart pounds as she explores. Last time she was exploring... well... no need to think of that now.

Out of the corner of her eye, she notices George looking defeated and sad. About what? She frowns a little herself. Having someone sad on this trip? It just won't do! She makes a note (that she probably forget. But she can ty, right?) to cheer him up and asks what is wrong later. For now, they have food awaiting!

Nicolas Thompson
Locations: Cabin| Interactions: Everyone| Mood: Frustrated/Nervous| Outfit: Here

Shit, was the only thought in Nic’s mind at the moment. Shit. He’d been stuck in this god damned blizzard for forever now, the snow whirling around him, the wind battering his car as he made his way up the side of the mountain. Why had he even agreed to go? It wasn’t like he was friends with any of them. Ellie had probably only invited him out of pity. That was the kind of people they were. They acted all high and mighty, like they were saints, when in reality they were just as sad and cold as him. At least he didn’t bother hiding it.

Nonetheless, he was almost there, so there was no point in turning around at this point. Not to mention that getting a week off of all three of his jobs was like pulling teeth, so why waste it? Now he just had to hope his mother didn’t go off the wall while he was gone, like last time. Shit. Another gust of wind battered Nic’s car, pushing it towards the looming edge of the mountain road. Thank God for guardrails. He didn’t know how much his old car, a battered Toyota Corolla about as old as him, could take it. The thing was already making noises.

As if he had summoned it, the car gave one last rumble before turning off completely, the engine deciding to die not a quarter of a mile away from his destination. Shit. With a groan, Nic pulled his suitcase out of the backseat and opened his door, about to brave the storm to get to the cabin. It wasn’t too far, right? Immediately, Nic was almost knocked over by a gust of icy wind and snow. “Shit,” he said, this time out loud. He was instantly freezing, and as he darted through the snow covered road, he regretted coming. Stupid, this was stupid. Trees rushed passed him in a blur, the branches of the pine trees shaking with the force of the wind, knocking against one another.

After about five minutes of running through the onslaught of snow, the golden lights of the cabin came into view, several cars visible. Nic dashed up to the door, hands fumbling as he tried to open it. He busted in, slamming the door behind him, teeth chattering. “I need a drink,” was all he said. Shit.

Elie climbed onto her stepstool, pulling a green apple from the bowl of fruit on the counter. Now, her friends couldn't say she never ate healthy. She opens her mouth, watching Ares prepare the pizzas. She didn't offer to help. She would have, but she doesn't think Ares would let her. They all probably didn't want a fire right now.

Just as she is about to bite into her apple, the door bursts open. Snow and frigid air blows in before it is quickly shut again. Turning, she sees Nicolas - Nic - standing with his back to the door. 'I need a drink.' She smiles wide, setting her apple on the counter and forgetting it. "Nic! You made it! I was worried you wouldn't!" The small girl jumps off of her steptool and runs over to him, sliding to a stop in front of him. Her eyes sparkle and she has a big smile, the gap between her front teeth visible.

Remembering what he said about the drink she gasps. "We have hot cocoa! Kait makes the best hot cocoa ever! Want some?" Without waiting for an answer, she darts back into the kitchen and past Ares. "Nic is here!" she says. She pours him a mug of the hot cocoa. Then, she walks carefully back out to him, biting her lip as she focuses on not spilling the drink. "Here you go, Nic!" She hands the warm mug to him with a bright smile.

Selena Sparks
Location: Cabin | Interactions: Everyone | Mood: Happy, surprised | Outfit: Here
Nicolas Thompson. The last face she thought she’d see around here. I mean, he’s not even friends with any of us. Or anyone for that matter, Selena thought, raising a brow at the snow-soaked boy. Of course he would show up, and throw things off kilter just when they were getting settled back in after the loss of power. And Kait was going to play for them! There’s no way she would now, she’d be too embarrassed. Well, who was she to judge? She wasn’t close with any of them before this, and yet here she was. Sitting on the couch besides some of the best people she’d ever met. But Nic was different. He was kind of an asshat, notorious for being the ‘badboy’ at school. It was enough to make Selena snort.

Now, Nic looked anything but like a badboy, in his flannel jacket and ripped jeans, teeth chattering. He just looked cold. Why was he so soaked? Where was his car? How had he made it here in such weather? Selena shrugged the thoughts off, looking longingly towards where the pizza was being made. Her stomach growled loudly, angry at her for not having eaten since she’d had fruit loops early that morning. How long ago that seemed!

Selena decided she’d ignore Nic until he spoke with her, and turned to Kait and said: “Play something happy, will you?”

Jun-hui | Location: Living Room -> The Kitchen | Mentions: Everyone Everyone | Interactions: TayMaiTer TayMaiTer Nobuzout Nobuzout camlochan camlochan


Underneath the distant attitude Ares always seemed to have, Jun-hui knew he actually was a very caring person in their friend group. The warm smell of pizzas coming from the kitchen was evidence of that. Also, it actually made Jun-hui realize just how hungry he was.

Yes! Mo joined the sock gang!
Their power was growing!

Elie had the right idea when she skipped over to the kitchen with Ares. Jun-hui happily followed them to the island. Even though cooking frozen pizza was fairly simple, he knew better than to try to help with cooking. As his recent snack suggested, he was an instant ramen kind of guy.

The pizzas would need time to cook which was perfect, giving Kait an opportunity to play her guitar and sing. When she asked if anyone had requests, Jun-hui began to think hard. However, after a minute or two, he couldn’t find a song to contribute. It seemed like even if he knew many songs, the instant he would need that knowledge, they would all seem to disappear. Was it like that for the others too?

At that moment, the cabin door swung open and the howling, freezing air rushed in. It was a tall, dark haired boy he didn’t know. He glanced around to see if anyone knew him. Jun-hui did remember seeing him around school, but no words had ever been exchanged between the two.

Unsurprisingly, Elie greeted him. She pretty much knew everyone. Or More like everyone knew Elie.

Disappointed that he couldn’t offer any request to Kait especially since they encouraged her persistently, Jun-hui felt a little bit better after Selena turned to Kait and suggested,

”Play something happy, will you?” Jun-hui looked over at Kait, ready to hear whatever she was about to play.

Out of the corner of his eye, he could see the new guy begin to settle in. He seemed kind of awkward and out of place. By the way some of the others were responding to his appearing, maybe the new guy felt that way too. Jun-hui wasn’t going to try to be as welcoming as Elie. Hardly anyone else could be that bubbly. But maybe the guy wasn’t bad. So Jun-hui decided he’d wait awhile before talking to him.

George Carlton
The Jock | Location: Inside | Interactions/Mentions: MadeInAdelaide MadeInAdelaide Kio.exe Kio.exe CommodoreOlaf CommodoreOlaf TayMaiTer TayMaiTer

George was in the middle of some serious contemplation about who should end up with who, but he hit a roadblock called logic almost immediately. They had all known each other for ample time for crushes to have bloomed as well as have died, so if no one was in a relationship by this point, it likely meant they weren't interested in anyone in the friend group, right? There's no way someone would have a romantic interest in a long term platonic friend, that'd be absurd. Flawless logic as always, Mr Carlton.

And then, as though a blessing from the heavens, Nicolas Thompson burst in cold and wet and demanding a drink. He didn't have a strong opinion on him either way since he wasn't someone he usually spent much time with - George's eyes widened in realisation that the newcomer wasn't as close to the rest of them as they were to each other, making him a perfect candidate for a new blossoming love! Brilliant! Now the only considerations to make were his preferences: was he into dudes or dudettes or both or other configurations? George frankly didn't know him well enough to have that information, but he had a good smattering of people in this cabin, and surely one of them would work. George looked around and noticed that all of his friends were weirdly good-looking to some extent, every one of them conventionally attractive like some sort of model or drawing. Weird coincidence, huh? Must be a teenager thing.

Elie was on it as per usual, making no hesitation to offer some hot chocolate and a greeting... but some of the others were less eager. He didn't count out Selena or Jun-hui just yet despite their tepid reaction to Nicolas' arrival, because he concluded that they might just have been shy. Whether that was misplaced optimism, George didn't know or care - he had a promise to keep (to himself) and he was going to do it. George rummaged through his bag once more today (it had been very convenient thus far, and there's no reason for it to stop being convenient) and pulled out a spare towel. Man, the foresight he must have had to have packed so many things in advance was unreal.

"Hey Nic, you should dry off, it's a doozy out there." he said, tossing the towel in his direction with usual pinpoint accuracy. George would have to speak with him afterwards about getting him into a relationship since it was far too public in front of everyone. "I don't know if there's still hot water after that storm, but it was working fine earlier if you want to take a shower."

Kaitlin Garret

As Nic stood by the door, Kait looked between all of her friends nervously. She still sat perched on the arm of the couch, her slippered feet not quite touching the floor. The new arrival was dripping water onto the floor, looking pissed. Kait had never spoken with the boy, though she had heard of him. They all had. He was notorious in their school for being the resident ‘bad boy’, the one that was so horribly cliched in the movies. Leather jackets, a motorcycle, pouty lips. The whole ordeal.

Play something happy, will you?” Selena said, glaring at Nic. Well she obviously wasn’t a fan. Something happy. Like what? The rest of her friends weren’t being very useful, offering no suggestions. Kait sighed, plucking at her guitar’s strings absentmindedly. She dared a glance out the window, eyes widening at the maelstrom occurring outside, wind and snow whipping in freezing gusts. How had Nic made it here unscathed? George tossed him a towel, which he produced from within the bag of his, telling him to go take a shower.

Looking quickly back out the window, a song immediately popped into her mind. She grinned, playing the opening chords a few times before turning to her friends. “Alright, I know you all know this song, so I better not be the only one singing,” she said teasingly, peering up at Nic again, who still stood by the door.

Before she could change her mind, Kait played, opening her mouth to sing the first line of the song:

Oh, the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful,” she began, grinning and glancing at the fire that had been so haphazardly started earlier. Yes, this was perfect.

After giving the mug of hot cocoa to Nic, she turned, surveying her gathered friends. While Nic was the bad kid of the school, that doesn't mean that he should be ignored. Yes, he made some bad choices. But everyone makes mistakes, right? Plus, Elie tries to be friends with everyone. Everyone in school knows her. They have all heard of the clumsy little girl with the boundless energy. And she likes it that way.

Soon, Kait begins singing. After the first line, Elie joins in. Whike she may be small, she has a set of lungs on her. She isn't all fun and games. This small girl is captain of the swim team and has set multiple school records. How else would she have made friends with other sport captains? But then again, if you had just met her, you wouldn't take Elie for an athletic person. She has multiple skills that makes it easier to make friends in all groups. She sings along, slightly out of tune. But that was expected.

She glances at George, who seems to have cheered up and was currently studying everyone. Is he okay? He is never usually this interested in how everyone interacts with one another. She mentally reminds herself to ask him what was wrong later.

As she sings, she jogs back into the kitchen where Jun-Hui stands, leaning against the counter quietly and Ares stands, preparing food. She darts up to Ares, pausing her vocals. Gripping his arm as he gets food ready, she tugs it slightly, looking up at the tall boy. "Ares, can I make something? Pleeeaaase? You know that I can bake! I want to make something too! Just like you!" She sticks out her bottom lip, putting on a pouting face for the boy. Hopefully, he will give her permission to raid the kitchen and prepare a special treat for everyone.

Mo | The Mom Friend
Location: Living Room| Mentions: basically everyone | Interactions: MadeInAdelaide MadeInAdelaide CommodoreOlaf CommodoreOlaf Nobuzout Nobuzout TayMaiTer TayMaiTer | Mood: vibing
It seemed like as soon as Mo sat down, half of the group had begun an exodus to the kitchen (which was fair, she could feel her stomach growling a little bit herself and was glad that someone was cooking something). She was also excited to hear Kaitlin play, as she didn't know the girl very well and thus had never really heard her before, but she wasn't feeling very helpful in the suggestions department right then because, another consequence of not knowing Kaitlin very well was that she didn't know the kind of music that the other really listened to. And, well, Mo tended to listen to songs that were more suited to ukuleles or wasn't as popular and she always felt kind of embarrassed to share her actual music tastes (which is why she usually let others pick the driving tunes).

As she decided to get up and join the others in the kitchen, someone burst through the door. It was Nic, another boy from school that she hadn't spoken to much. Still, the reactions of the others (except maybe Elie) were rather negative. To her, Nic wasn't any worse than Benny, so what was the deal? Maybe it revealed their secret prejudices against their other friend that they just didn't let come out or maybe they just saw Nic as an other because he was new to the group. It didn't really matter to her, if they were a friend of the group they were a friend to her and she would take them under her wing and help them. Nic just so happened to be her newest baby bird.


As Kaitlin sang and Elie handed Nic hot cocoa, Mo popped up and grabbed a throw blanket from the couch before heading over to Nic and draping it over his shoulders. "Here, you look like you might need this. The rooms are upstairs, you might wanna take your stuff up there when you are warm enough and change or take a shower. When you get back, we will fill you in and you can pick a side in our faction wars," she laughed before patting him on the shoulder, giving him a big smile to make him feel welcome and then turning and heading to the kitchen to check on Ares, Jun-Hui, Elie and the pizza.

"How's it going?"

Ares Lancaster
Role: The Future Detective | Location: Kitchen |Mentions : Mostly everyone | interactions : TayMaiTer TayMaiTer irregular-neptune irregular-neptune MadeInAdelaide MadeInAdelaide CommodoreOlaf CommodoreOlaf

During the pizza preparation the door bursts open, revealing no one but Nic. Ares spaced out, as if the world around him wasn't important, his friends knew that Ares happened to have this moments of pure nothing quite often. He was staring at the guy who just entered the cabin, they weren't so different but their ways of expressing were very but very different. From the entire group, Nic would be the one who Ares interacted less.. in his eyes they both had problems in expressing proper feelings, but Ares tried his best to keep this amount of problems inside his own head, his friends didn't need to hear about his troubles.. his life was quite a good one, why would he have problems when others suffer way more than he did. There was no need to tell them anything. He only had to help them, that was a good way to forget about his own problems. On the other side, Nic did say and did cause a lot of trouble during school. Which led to him getting very mixed emotions from the entire group. Elie, of course was the first to greet him. She was a nice one, maybe a little too nice. But nonetheless she was a great person, in his eyes, she was doing her best to keep that guy in line. Ares didn't know if it was working at all but there was a bit of improvement since the early days of school.

Ares, did not say a word. The room was filled with silence for a couple seconds before everything went back to normal, those few seconds felt like hours for Ares who was able to look at his fellow friends and think about what they were feeling. He just hoped that Nic tried his best to be friendly with the others, or else they would most certainly have a problem. He crosses his arms, the sound of a distant guitar playing as his friends were talking around, he caught himself staring at the others again, he felt so distant, as if the place he was in was some sort of dream.. surely he felt strange, but this was just his imagination, what a weird feeling.. he thought. His line of thought only being broken by a gentle tug on his arm, Elie once again. He looks at the girl, he takes himself some seconds looking at her before saying "You want to cook something ? Sure, but I will help you.. so, what do you have in mind ?" The smell of pizza filled the air as he placed his hands on the counter, he was unsure about what recipe they were preparing.. Ares wouldn't call himself a chef but he knew how to cook quite a lot of things.. it wasn't really a skill but just something he learned by the years. Jun-hui also joined them, but he didn't speak much while he was in the kitchen "You decided to join us ?" He said, trying to get Jun-hui involved with the pizza preparation.

Mo approaches them, making Ares turn once again. Mo, a girl who held the group together along with Elie, those two sure knew how to help everyone, maybe Ares didn't open up with her due to the amount of issues she already handled, aside from her owns, she was the mother of the group and every once in a while she would help the others with their own issues. Ares didn't want to be another one to dump his problems onto her. wait.. he thought. He was staring at her, he needs to stop doing this.. "Ah.. well" he said, struggling to find words. The embarrassment of staring at someone filled his thoughts as he crosses his arms trying to say something.. "The uh.. pizza is almost ready. Now Elie decided to cook something. So I'll help her with some things" He was able say something before turning to Elie once again "So.. we better start soon"​

'You want to cook something ? Sure, but I will help you.. so, what do you have in mind ?' She smiles wide when Ares agrees to help her. "Oh no no no. We won't be making a meal. More like a treat for after pizza!" She bites her lip, lost in thought for a moment. Then, she suddenly realizes that she still held his arm. She lets go with a giggle before darting to the pantry.

"I want to make something we make in the bakery a lot. A molten s'mores chocolate lava cake. I figure we could make some of them... adult worthy." She begins gathering the ingredients, setting them on the counter. She gives a grin. Last time she made the treat, everyone loved it.

To make the molten s'mores lava cake, you simply need dark chocolate, salted butter, eggs, sugar, flour, graham crackers, marshmallow fluff (which can be created by slowly melting marshmallows), and caramel-filled chocolate. She doesn't know what alcohol would complement it, so she'll leave that up to Ares. First, you'll want to crush up the graham crackers and mix them with melted butter, creating a crumble. Set these aside for later. Then, melt the dark chocolate and some more butter together. In a seperate bowl, you will beat two egg yolks, two whole eggs, and the sugar together it is pale and thick. Add the melted chocolate/butter combo and mix until smooth. Then, slowly add the flour, mixing all the while. Then, pour into the muffin pans and cook for about ten minutes. Afterward, top them with the marshmallow fluff and enjoy!

Elie begins relaying these instructions to Ares. "If you need any help, let me know! I will be right here." Then, leaving him to his devices, she goes to prepare the special treat.

While she gets started, she thinks about anything else she could make. Maybe a drink? No, they have hot chocolate. Plus, she had brought egg nog and apple cider in her cooler. Elie absolutely lives for baking and decorating sweets. Her apartment always smells like a bakery and there is always supplies in her kitchen to bake. But only baked goods and desserts. When it comes to dinner, she is usually ordering out or eating frozen meals. Hot pockets and such. With how much this girl eats, and how unhealthy she eats, it is a wonder she is so thin and petite.

Ellie skidded to a halt in front of him, smiling brightly, a cup of hot chocolate in hand. She handed it to him, rambling on about how Kait—whoever that was—made the best hot chocolate, and so on. Wrong kind of drink, Ellie, he thought, fighting the urge to roll his eyes. Come on, no one could be that excited to see him. Especially not with the glares he was receiving, from...what was her name? Sarah? No. Serena? No. Ohhh...Selena. She was staring at him with barely contained contempt written across her features, a look similar to that of most of the group.

Hey Nic, you should dry off, it's a doozy out there,” George said, whipping a towel at Nic. He didn’t particularly have a free hand, what with his suitcase in one hand, and the hot chocolate in the other, so it thudded against his chest before plopping onto the ground. George continued on, something about a shower. A shower sounds so good right now, he thought, spacing out a bit. Mo approached him then, wrapping a blanket around his shoulders. Nic flinched back at the contact, frowning, hot chocolate splashing over the side of the mug. She gave him a big smile regardless, before striding off into the kitchen.

A girl—Kaitlin, he presumed, because he recognized everyone else—was playing guitar softly, before glancing up at him and singing. She had a lovely voice, bright and clear and low. It was some Christmas carol, one that Nic had long ago forgotten the words to. What was he doing? Oh, yeah. A shower. He set the hot chocolate on a end table besides the couch, before snatching up the towel that lay by his feet, abandoning the blanket and rushing up the stairs. The bathroom wasn’t hard to find—someone had left the light on, Sighing, Nic closed the door behind him, before peeling off his soaked clothes, and cranking the shower all the way to ‘hot’. His teeth were still chattering, his hair dripping icy water down his exposed back, and he hopped in the shower, glad for the relief that hot water provided.

He lingered in the shower for about ten minutes before exiting it, stepping into the steam filled bathroom, a towel wrapped around his waist. Nic grabbed his suitcase, before stomping down the hall, finally choosing an empty room. He didn’t bother turning on the light while he dug through his clothes, coming up with black sweatpants with some foreign language down one leg and designs on the other, and a red crew neck sweater. At the bottom of his bag, he found a pair of black slippers. Really, mom? They’d had an argument about those very slippers right before he’d left. For whatever reason, she’d wanted her to bring them.

Sighing, he slipped them on his bare feet, his toes instantly warmed. At least they were useful for something other than making him look ridiculous. Exiting the room, Nic tromped down the stairs, almost falling while putting his glasses back on. As he re-entered the living room, he found half of the group looking expectantly at his feet. He raised a confused brow at them, unsure of what too do with himself.

"Oh, hey, I know this one!" George spoke with glee as Kaitlin began strumming and singing purely due to the fact that he knew very few songs off the top of his head if they weren't shoved down his earholes constantly. Some small part of him was concerned that she had chosen a song advocating for heavier snowfall in the middle of what was essentially a mini-blizzard, but then just assumed that Australians likely didn't have much and therefore assumed the weather outside was simply 'frightful' and not 'a fucking piss take'. Having the musical equivalent of two left feet, he didn't dare join in with some words as she sang, but he did hazard to hum along with the tune. Though, he did consider the fact that this was essentially a love song demanding that snow continued as long as you love me so - so maybe the plan to set Kaitlin up with someone wasn't totally off the table, despite Selena's intervention.

And then Nic came down, the holy items around the base of his legs. This was goddamn perfect - the ranks of the slipper faction had grown once more, combatting the sock gang's recent surge in growth. "You have chosen wisely, young one," George began, ignoring that Nic was older than him (and besides, he had seniority in slipper age). It was excellent, the one that would be his useful pawn in creating a romantic pairing between his friends had basically sworn his allegiance and loyalty to his cause.

"Now, my fellow compatriot, help yourself to some snacks and drinks. Fear not, these heathens here have been given express permission to dine with us on this special occasion!" he said, emulating some long dead Roman emperor, which translated to: hi, Nic, have some snacks whilst we enjoy Kait's performance. Don't worry, these guys are kinda cool even if they don't wear slippers.

No doubt, Nic had no idea what he was getting himself into when he covered his feet and entered the living room. Everyone was eager to see who Nic would eventually join. When the boy came down the stairs unknowingly declaring allegiance to the slipper gang, Jun-hui smiled knowing George would welcome him enthusiastically with open arms. And that he did.

At the top of a cold, cold mountain and inside the living room of a huge log cabin, an undeniable warmth could be felt (although it wasn't the fireplace). Even though some of them he did not know well, it was because of things like Elie's caffeinated friendliness, Mo's consistently attentive care, and George's genuine and welcoming antics, that Jun-hui began to foresee that these strangers would not stay strangers for long. It was already happening with Kaitlin, who had decided to finally sing for them. Of course, singing in front of strangers was no easy task, certainly not something Jun-hui would ever do. Jun-hui knew music theory, but his voice was closer to a hysterical bleating goat than anything. As she carried the tune, her tone floated cleanly across the room, accented by the strum of her guitar. Jun-hui concluded that Kait's voice was certifiably amazing.

As Kait sang and played in the background, Jun-hui, amused, watched Elie zip around the kitchen, throwing together what seemed to be something very sweet. One of the main ingredients was chocolate so as much as he looking forward to trying it, he knew he would have to pass. After a few minutes, the oven timer went off. Jun-hui was no chef, but taking the pizzas out was an easy enough task. He carefully took out the pizzas and set them on the counter, the amazing aroma of crispy bread, ripe tomato sauce, and rich mozzarella cheese beginning to dance around the kitchen.

"Pizzas are ready." He called out softly to the others in the living room. He began distributing paper plates across the kitchen table, placing a napkin in the center of each one.

Mo | The Mom Friend
Location: Living Room| Mentions: Nobuzout Nobuzout | Interactions: CommodoreOlaf CommodoreOlaf MadeInAdelaide MadeInAdelaide | Mood: teasing, relaxing
Mo noticed Ares staring at her for a second and almost looked at him questioningly (was there something on her face?) before choosing to ignore it. Ares was an interesting character, and his brain was always working quickly to pick up on little things, so she was sure it was just him spacing out for something like that for a second. Though, what clues he had to find she wasn't sure, considering she wasn't all that sure that there was a mystery currently (except maybe the mystery of how none of her friends had started dating yet, considering the matchmaking and confusion she vaguely noticed going on behind the scenes but didn't care enough about to comment on). Except... but she didn't want to think about the rabbit and she didn't want to focus too hard on the lights that flickered ever so often from the generator. She felt safe here with her friends, right?

It was her turn to look awkwardly away, not wanting to creep Ares out, and she nodded. "Okay, well let me know if there's anything I can do!" So she watched while Ares and Elie began to throw together some concoction (she wasn't really sure -- of all the culinary skills, baking was not her best, but Elie was a master at it). Soon after, Jun-Hui took the pizza out and she scrounged around for a pizza cutter while he prepared plates for their friends. Maneuvering around the kitchen with four people was like a poorly choreographed dance that they had tried to learn but ended up stepping on their partner's feet, and on Mo's return she bumped into Jun-Hui and stepped on his foot. "Oof, sorry," she said, patting Jun-Hui on the back apologetically before setting to cut the pizzas. Now this, on the other hand, was a culinary skill she had. She began putting cut pieces on plates so her friends could come in and just grab them. When she was done, she grabbed two plates and left the kitchen before the incoming horde of her friends.

She brought the second plate over to Nic, who had unfortunately already made a choice (the wrong choice) in the faction wars. She stood next to him and handed him the plate, following him to where he chose to sit and giving him a smile. "Do you feel better now? Also, I see you chose the Slippers and I just wanna say, while I have loyalty to the Sock Gang, this is a judgement-free zone and we can still be friends."

Nic stared blankly at George as he rambled on in that way of his, always joking around, never serious. It was an effort not to roll his eyes. Frowning, he looked away from the jock and to where Kaitlin still sat on the edge of the couch, still singing. Another song he didn’t know. Not that he would sing anyways.

Nic stood in silence at the base of the stairs until Mo approached him, shortly after Jun-Hui had announced that pizza was ready. He was starving and the red-head mercifully approached with two plates of pizza, handing one to him. “Do you feel better now? Also, I see you chose the Slippers and I just wanna say, while I have loyalty to the Sock Gang, this is a judgement-free zone and we can still be friends," she told him, smiling. Sock gang? Slipper gang? Nick thought, confused.

He simply shrugged, shoving a bite of pizza in his mouth, immediately burning his tongue. “Shit!” He yelled, pain lancing up his tongue. “That’s fucking hot,” he added unnecessarily. He glowered at the pizza, sticking his still-burning tongue out at it. His cheeks were red with embarrassment, and Nic scowled at the floor. Why did he even come here?

Selena watched as Nic got hit in the chest with towel, thrown by George, stifling a laugh. As the older boy headed upstairs to take a shower, Kait finally began singing, after glancing outside at the gales of snow that were whipping around outside. Selena wasn’t a good singer, but joined in nonetheless. No one could out-goat George. Seriously. You’d think a boy with such a pleasant speaking voice would also be good at singing. Nope. Not even close. Ellie, Ares, Jun-Hui and Mo were in the kitchen, preparing food and dessert, and Darwin and Josh were busy setting up the latter’s Nintendo Switch to the T.V.

Selena let out a content sigh, wrapping the white fur blanket that was draped over the couch around herself as Nic stomped back down the stairs, his wet hair plastered to his forehead. Her eyebrows rose as she took in his slippered feet, and just as she expected, George was as excited as a kid in a candy shop. No one approached him though, until Mo came out of the kitchen with two plates of pizza in her hands, heading over to where Nic stood by the base of the stairs, looking like a lost puppy.

She could hear Mo speaking quietly to her, after handing him the plate. The boy merely shrugged at whatever she had said, and shoved the pizza into his mouth, swearing as it burnt his tongue. Selena didn’t bother holding her laughter back this time, and as she got up to go into the kitchen, she stopped in front of his and smirked. “Yeah, captain obvious, thanks for telling us. It wasn’t like they just took it out of the oven or anything,” she told him, patting him on the shoulder and smiling at Mo before popping into the kitchen.

“Hey guys!” She said brightly to Jun-Hui, Ares and Ellie. “Anything I can do to help in here?”

Elie wanted to make sweets, she passed him the instructions and soon enough he started preparing the recipe.. he wasn’t really an expert in how to make sweets even if he loved eating them. Soon enough, the pizza is ready and Jun-Hui and Mo are grabbing slices and sharing it with everyone, the smell sure is nice but he wanted to finish things before eating anything, Elie looked happy while preparing her special treat, people know that letting Elie cook most things alone is a mistake but she seems to handle herself well well it comes to sweets. Ares on the other hand was unsure if he was doing whatever he had to do correctly, he didn’t want to bother Elie and surely just at the right moment Selena showed up, one more pair of hands wouldn’t be bad. “Selena, you can help me with this..” he stopped for a moment trying to remember the name of what he was preparing “with this.. molten s'mores chocolate, lava cake ?”

It sure sounded like he was asking Elie if he got that name correctly, but nonetheless it didn’t matter. Ares would then gently pull Selena by the hand and point at the little note he left on the top of the counter “That's the recipe, We are almost finished but I could use some help" he said, the sound of Kaitlin playing her guitar made the room way more peaceful than a couple minutes earlier, Ares guitar skills were no match for her abilities, maybe she could teach him a bit. George was singing along which was pretty funny for Ares, but it's not like he is a singer himself so he wasn’t one to judge. A couple seconds later and Nic let’s a simple ‘That's fucking hot' Ares ended up letting a short laugh escape his lips, it just came out of the oven after all, he shakes his head in a joking manner as he resumes the recipe preparation.

“Elie this smells wonderful. Sometimes I forget that you can cook this well. I will need some of your recipes later" he gave her a smile and turned hearing that Nic joined the slipper gang, he probably didn’t know what was happening but of course Ares and the rest of the Slipper legion knew they had another worthy warrior, maybe he should stop worrying about Nic, people grow, surely he isn’t the same person he was a couple years ago, Ares is just overthinking as he always does.

Elie was humming to Kaitlin playing as she darted around the kitchen. The only instruments that Elie could play was cello, and even then, she wasn't great at it. As Kaitlin played, Elie found herself calmed. A strange thing. Elie was never calm. But all that changed as Nic came downstairs, unknowingly claiming allegiance to the slipper faction.

She giggled as she stirred ingredients in a large bowl. She stands on her stepstool, flour somehow smeared on her cheek. 'Elie this smells wonderful. Sometimes I forget that you can cook this well. I will need some of your recipes later.' She gives him a smile, looking up from the bowl to see that Selena has joined them. "Hiya Selena! Here to help? We are about done." She throws a mischevious grin at Ares. "Ah. But my recipes lie in a secret book that I keep hidden at home. They are mine!" She giggles before pouring the batter into the prepared pan.

At the smell of the freshly baked pizza, her mouth waters. As soon as he batter is poured and she places the pan into the oven, she stands. Elie tucks a strand of hair behind her ear, smearing chocolate batter in her hair and on her cheek next the flour. Once it is in the oven, she snatches a piece of pizza from the shert and darts out of the kitchen. She slides into the living room, taking a big bite of pizza all the while.

Ingredients flew about as Ellie whipped up whatever concoction she had in mind. Ares helped a little bit, but it looked like Elie was in her own world. As Ellie and Ares continued preparing the sweets, Jun-hui watched. He was very impressed with the way they were putting together this dessert. Suddenly, he remembered something he found interesting about pizza online: "Hey guys, believe it or not: in the 16th century, pizza was considered food for poor people. Something like a peasant dish. Although today, pizza's quite popular and-"

Pizza thoughts running through Jun-hui's head were interrupted by the pleasant voice of Selena coming into the kitchen. "Anything I can do to help in here?"

Jun-hui stopped mid-sentence to look at Selena. "Hey! Uh.. sure. Yeah, I think.. Elie is making an Ares cake. I mean-! Elie and Ares are making a lava cake. Haha! It's supposd to be really chocolatey and sweet."

An Ares cake, really ? Jun-hui scratched his head and laughed weakly. He quickly noticed that Ares led her gently into the kitchen by the hand. At first, he didn't think anything of it. But as he turned away to pour himself another cup of water, the thought lingered in his head a few seconds longer than usual. Brushing it off, he downed the water and then stood up.

"I'm not big on sweets though." Jun-hui chuckled quietly. Feeling a little red, he headed back to the couch, sitting down and beginning to snack on a handful of tortilla chips. Outside, it didn't seem like the snow was letting up.

Hm.. Let me check the weather.

Jun-hui pulled out his phone and tried looking up the forecast. No luck. Eventually, he discovered that the Wi-Fi signal was completely unresponsive. Jun-hui looked outside again, wondering how many inches of snow they'd see in the morning. Across the room, he saw familiar faces, but several stood out. Jun-hui looked back at his phone again, wondering if some of the newcomers would really find a place with them, their tight knit group. Would getting snowed in do the trick? Only time would tell.
