I got bored last night and made cupcakes. The Houndstooth is now serving dark chocolate cupcakes with peppermint cream frosting and hot chocolate cupcakes. If you don't like chocolate...what is wrong with you?

(ooc: action is totally a go)

Closed to Duke


Hey, Pirate Man, you up for an adventure?

[ If asked if he'd thought about the blonde girl from the bonfire who had kissed him, Lucy was her name, Duke would say no. But the truth is that he has. And he's pleasantly surprised when her text comes through. ]

Hey pretty lady, always up for an adventure. What did you have in mind?

Re: text | duke & lucy

[mightbeconcussed]

[ If he hadn't thought about her since the bonfire then Lucy would be very disappointed and feel she needs to re-evaluate her kissing skills, possibly brush up, possibly kiss everyone in Itinere for practice, possibly hopelessly injure her self esteem in the process, get into cat fights (which Lucy would lose because what is fighting) and end up disfigured and insecure. Duke wouldn't want to be responsible for that, now would he?]

Scavenger hunt. I can't tell you where it ends up because that wouldn't be any fun. Are you ready for your first clue?

[troubledrogue]

[ Duke would not want to be responsible for that, no. So it's a good thing he thought about her.

The idea of a scavenger hunt surprises him, in a good way. She can't see it but he smiles and nods. ]

Inventive! Alright, I'm in. Let me have it.

Excellent. You're going to be getting to know the town a little better. Go to the place you can fuel your body and your brain. I like elephants and story time. Get some fuel for both mind and body and find something you think will entertain me. You should probably pick up a bag to hold all your treasures.

[ Of course Duke circles back to get a duffel he can sling over his shoulder. Then he's on his way, reading the text as he trudges through the snow. ]

Mind and body. Like coffee? Or one of those power energy drinks? But that's not fuel for the mind, right? So...music? Books?

[ Good for him. ]

Now you're cooking with gas. You're going to need to find something that offers both. I can't make this too easy for you.

[badboysupreme]

You say chocolate, I say when and where. Okay, so all of that's answered, I just have to look at my mega map and I'll be there!

[mightbeconcussed]

The Houndstooth. I've put them at the end of the bar. I'm the girl in the pirate costume

[ because of course she's wearing a pirate costume. Shhhhh]

[badboysupreme]

I'm on my way! I'm the boy in the awesome. [ But okay, wait. What? ] Why the pirate costume? Is there a holiday I don't know about? Is there a pirate ship? Because I could get behind a pirate ship.

[mightbeconcussed]

There's a pirate man on a scavenger hunt. I have to be appropriately dressed booty when he finds me. Duh.

[badboysupreme]

Oh. Well yeah. Duh. Strangely that makes perfect sense to me. Also, this place just scored some points in my book by having both pirates and booty.

[ Oh, Leo. No. Just no. ]

[fateless]

Peppermint frosting? Now I'm curious. That sounds awesome.

[mightbeconcussed]

They're pretty much hot chocolate with candy canes in cupcake form. Come on down and get one or six. I don't judge.

[fateless]

You don't have to tell me twice. I'm on my way.

[mightbeconcussed]

See you there then!

[ohhhaleno]

Oh my Gooooood, that sounds incredible. Chocolate does not agree with me, but I honestly am willing to take the risk.

[mightbeconcussed]

You poor thing. As long as you're not going to swell up and need me to perform a tracheotomy with a pen because I've only ever seen it done on TV and repeated watchings of ER and House are where my medical education beings and ends. Next time, I'll do something that isn't chocolate.

[ohhhaleno]

Nah, its not that kind of allergy. If anything, I won't feel well in a couple of hours afterward, but I'm usually really good about keeping away from it, so maybe I can get away with one little indiscretion. You think? Maybe?

[mightbeconcussed]

In that case, chocolate is probably worth it, at least a little bit of it. I'll make sure there's a glass of milk to go with it because maybe that'll be tummy soothing or something.

[ohhhaleno]

I'm so giving it a shot and hoping for the best, nobody can stop me. Ha, that would be a nice pairing even if it wasn't tummy soothing, so I'll take it.

Hot chocolate cupcakes?

[She's trying to imagine what those might look like, and trying to ignore the tinge of guilt and heartache that the mention of baking brings. Peeta is her past but there's still a part of her that will always care for him.

Mostly though, she's trying to wonder if the hot chocolate cupcakes are liquid or solid.]

text

[mightbeconcussed]

They're amazing. You should come get one.

text

[stillplaying]

Are they solid?

[She's feeling rather stupid asking that but Katniss remains confused on the idea of hot chocolate cupcakes. Aren't these two different things entirely?]

Re: text

[mightbeconcussed]

Yup with whipped cream icing on top and a little bit of cinnamon. I'll put one aside for you.

[ She shouldn't feel stupid. It isn't one of the usual flavors. ]

[stillplaying]

[That sounds really, really good. If she heads out now, she'll have to cross through the snow. Which brings up another question:]

Do you have real hot chocolate at the Houndstooth, too?
