Dave didn't actually have a reason to be here. The best excuse he could come up would be jacking some food, but even then, that was a stretch. Honestly, he was just probably looking for good hiding places.

And maybe he was just trying to avoid people by wandering around.

He stops and stares at Yuki though. He's met her briefly. She was Sora's friend. He won her from Conquest last round...

[isur2ndprincess]

When she hears the door open she turns to see who was joining her. If he couldn't tell what she was here for, she's wearing an apron and holding a wooden spoon, that should give it away. Her first instinct was to be afraid of Dave, purely for being male, but surprisingly she wasn't scared. Maybe because she was better or maybe because Sora trusts him, who knows.

"Hello Dave, did you come here to bake as well?"

[knightime]

Even if she couldn't see his eyes, his body language probably let off how damn curious he was at the moment. That, and he sauntered over to the table curiously. He shakes his head at her question, but he doesn't seem to leave. He looked positively fascinated with what she was doing.

Sis never really baked (did she even cook?). So, actually watching someone do this was pretty new to him.

[isur2ndprincess]

"You can stay if you would like, but I may ask you to help," she smiles warmly at him. Yuki can tell that he's curious about her baking and thinks that it is rather cute. The boys she was used to would probably make some rude joke about women and kitchens, so this was a nice change.

She hands him a bowl that once housed the batter for cupcakes, there is some remaining in it, a little that she didn't bother to scrape off, "Would you like to try the batter? It tastes good."

[knightime]

God, he loved that he keeps such a good pokerface outside sometimes. But he was sure he lit up just a little. Maybe he wanted to try it. Even if it was so fucking domestic he could make Dave wife jokes until he would be literally beating that dead horse with another. But...he never got to do this shit before. And maybe it'll keep his mind off things.

Dave looked into the bowl, swiping some of the batter onto his finger so he can lick it off. Shit, this stuff is good.

[isur2ndprincess]

He did, in fact, light up a bit, and Yuki noticed it. She smiles a bit wider in response and is noticeably happy when Dave likes the batter. Because he seems to like it so much, she'll make some more (you can never have enough cupcakes, that can be her excuse).

"I'm glad you like it! I think we're going to need some more cupcakes so I was planning on making some more. Would you like to help me? You can have that batter as well. We can make a different type too."

Every so often, Yuri drops by the cafeteria to cook up something when the cafeteria isn't offering what he feels like eating. It might be more work but there's only so many times he can eat pancakes or hamburgers without needing a change of pace, which is why he's stopping by today.

While it's not uncommon to see someone else in the kitchen, it's the first time he's seen Yuki so don't mind him throwing up a hand in greeting as he starts tying back his hair.

[isur2ndprincess]

Oh an older male, Yuki is just going to stiffen up for a moment before allowing herself to relax. He was here to cook, not to hurt her so she should be okay.

"What are you making?"

[mrdickery]

With only one eye on her because of the way he's standing, when Yuki stiffens he has to blink, wondering if he imagined it. Surprise at his appearance, maybe? Or fear? He can't exactly tell, so he'll just not bother to comment as he finishes tying the knot on the band around his ponytail.

"Depends on what they've got in stock. Probably something sweet though." The latter comment is added with a grin and shrug as he starts perusing the contents inside the fridge. "What about you?"

[isur2ndprincess]

Yuki busies herself with the baking supplies in front of her, "I'm making cupcakes for the sleepover later," she doesn't look up from the flour as she speaks but mentally berates herself for being afraid of him, he's not from her school and would most likely not hurt her.

[mrdickery]

"Sleepover?" There's a pause as Yuri finally decides based on what's available and pulls out a few containers as well as an assortment of fruits. Mostly blueberries, strawberries and the like. That complete, he takes up a counter across from Yuki and starts pulling out cutting boards, knives and a strainer.

"You mean the one that poster was talking about?" And now he's off to the cabinet where, after some deliberation, he pulls out two clear and tall glasses.

[isur2ndprincess]

She watches him take out the ingredients, "Yes, the one from the poster, I thought I would bring some sweets for it and I believe others wanted to bake as well," it isn't until after he takes down the glasses (two, she notes, and is a bit embarrassed at the thought he may be making her one) that she asks, "are you making parfaits?"

[relentless_sentinel]

Nephenee was more than happy to make snacks for the sleepover, and she came armed with an apron she had bought and a lot of love in her heart. And everyone knew that was the secret ingredient to the best baked goods.

"Hello?"

[isur2ndprincess]

Yuki peeks around the corner to see Nephenee, "Hello, I'm back here. Are you here to bake as well?" she smiles at the other girl, "I just put some cupcakes in the oven and thinking of what else to make."

[relentless_sentinel]

"Well, that was the plan, yes. I was thinkin' bout makin mah cookies. My siblings back home like em a lot, so I was thinkin they'd be perfect."

[isur2ndprincess]

"What kind of cookies?" she smiles a bit, "Did you have many siblings?"

[shootingforpeace]

Koharu had slipped in while Yuki was talking to someone else and started peering through the kitchen, contemplating something savory to balance out all this sweet.

"Not enough time for something big..."

[isur2ndprincess]

Yuki turns when she hears another voice in the kitchen, "Oh Koharu!" she smiles at her. Her Koharu is better at baking than she is, so maybe this Koharu is just as skilled!

"Are you planning on making something?"

[shootingforpeace]

"Maybe!" Koharu hesitates and then opens the fridge a little wider so Yuki can see and perhaps help.

"Something to cancel out the cupcakes and things. Just finger foods. Maybe little sandwiches...?"

[isur2ndprincess]

Oh that's a good idea! Yuki made a bunch of sweets that she won't really eat, so it would be nice to have something to nibble on during the sleepover. Yuki peers over her shoulder into the fridge, "We can make cucumber sandwiches, and there's probably lunch meat somewhere. I really like your idea, Koharu, a lot of people don't like sweets."

[shootingforpeace]

"Well sweets are sort of traditional for parties like this. So it's no wonder people would go to making those first. Hmn, cucumber sandwiches. Let's see what meat and cheese there is and we can just make a big plate with a bunch of choices."

Koharu pulled out turkey, a bit of hamn and whatever cheese she found stashed in the fridge. She contemplates the fridge a little longer before snagging a thing of preserves.

Dave's already gone by the time John comes in. Hilariously, John is actually trying to find Dave, and failing miserably. Because sending a text and saying 'dude we need to hang, park your butt someone and tell me where' is apparently overrated.

He stops when he sees Yuki baking, though. It sparks a series of memories that all lead back to-- nothing. Okay. So one of his missing memories apparently involves baking. And given how heartwarming and special baking scenes tend to be in movies both good and bad, he feels like he's probably forgetting something important.

It's kind of depressing, actually.

...yes, Yuki, there is a short, kind of gawky teenager standing in the doorway of the kitchen looking a little lost in thought.

[isur2ndprincess]

Yuki was just about to wash a cupcake tin so she could reuse it a little later when she notices John, seemingly lost in thought. She let's him stand there for about a minute before she speaks up.

"Hello?" a meek voice says from the kitchen. If John snaps out of it and looks at her he'll find that Yuki has decided her feet are very interesting right now.

[has_soothing_bells]

Reimi was minding her own business when she smelled food. Delicious food. She had to stop herself from drooling a little as she came up to the kitchen.

"W-what smells so good, if I may ask?"

[isur2ndprincess]

"Oh!" she turns to face the other girl, there is a bit of flour on her clothes and face, "I'm making cupcakes, some are already done though. Would you like one?"
