DreamLyrics™ Play-by-Post Forums Modern/Historical DUC: Durham University Campus Competition Monday: Round 1 knock outs

Levon

Levon echos the itinerary that Skye proposes, "Showers, a costume change and Chinese? Sounds good. Meet you all for dinner." He offers Skye's his hand and heads to dorm.

He intended to slip in some other activities while in private, but the plan was firm.

{Skye}

"Oh - I see that look in your eyes." Skye teases Levon as he takes her hand and they step away from the others. "Didn't work up enough sweat today? Me either!" She winks.

OOC: Henri wiill just be studying, so whenever you want to move time ahead to dinner is fine with me.]

Eventually everyone has finished their activities - studying, recipe research or other.. - freshened up, changed and met outside the dorm to head for the canteen. They arrive to find the place busy. And the large room is decorated with paper dragons, chinese decorate parasols and large chinese characters which are mostly red or gold and hang from the ceiling. People are queuing for food, possibly more than the number of tables and chairs could accommodate. If the group want to sit together, someone is going to have to claim a table quickly.

The food scents are enticing. Spices, fruits, meats tempt the palate.

Ian

Having less need of a shower than the rest of the guys camps out at a table as he scrolls through potential recipes. An eye out for the others.

Henri

After finding the library without too much trouble, he does some catch-up work for his courses. Feeling better in getting some school work done, he heads to the dorm just to freshen up and change his shirt then heads back done to find Ian at the same table.

"Hey Ian", he says with a smile and nods at his phone in hand, "What you're doing?"

Emma

Emma refreshed, took off the face paint of school colors, and did something lighter. One approving look in a mirror, and nodded. Ready for the day, and she went to meet the others, finding Henri and Ian looking over recipes.

"Anything good?"

Ian

Ian looks up as Henri comes in. He waves to let him know where hhe is. Phone still out. Recipes still on the page.

"Saving us a table. Going through recipes while I wait. Maybe have a few ideas before Miranda and Emma get here.

When Emma arrives. Ian stops scrolling to bring up a few saved items.

"Hey Emma. I think we should try these white chocolate raspberry scones and possibly some muffins." He leans over to show her the recipes he found.

Miranda arrives, her hair still damp from the shower. She looks around admiring the decorations, wondering if she is here first but then spies several of their group at a table. She heads over.

"Hi everyone."

She leans down and kisses Henri's ear, the easiest bit to reach, then sits down beside him.

"Do we need to get organised and get some in the queue fetching for others or maybe we take turns?"

Emma

"You had me at chocolate! I wonder how much time we will get, and what the various ingredients we will have are? It is bound to throw a wrench into things, that's most of the fun of baking shows."
