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?

[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!

[fateless]

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

[ohhhaleno]

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

[ 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?

[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]

[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.

[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?

[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.

[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.

[mightbeconcussed]

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.

[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.

[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. ]

[troubledrogue]

[ 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?

[mightbeconcussed]

I'm glad! It's actually a pretty cool place, not even going to lie to you. We've also got superheroes and wish magic.

text | duke & lucy

[mightbeconcussed]

[ 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.

[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.

[fateless]

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

[badboysupreme]

Hey, I don't know if you heard, but Percy Jackson's here and that's about at super hero as it gets! Me? I'm playing with the wish magic. If you eventually see a gold dragon flying above, thank me.

[ Duke stops off in the book store and takes his time to browse. To fuel her body, Duke grabs a bag of coffee and a book called Pirate Girl and on his way out, he spots this bookmark. So not one thing, but three things. Duke is an overachiever, obviously. ]

Done, what next pirate girl? [ Two can play this game. He just gave her a clue about what he got her. ]

[mightbeconcussed]

I'll have a plate and glass waiting for you. I'll even go make sure the toilets are clean just in case. I know. You don't have to say it. I'm pretty much the best.

[mightbeconcussed]

See you there then!

[mightbeconcussed]

Is it going to give you a sad face if I don't know who Percy Jackson is? As long as it's not roasting us or eating us, that's really cool.
