Something Cooking ; Open

[zepopeboy]

Landon decided he was no longer Landon Pope, but Landon! The Great Explorer. o.o He had to do something to occupy his time, and thinking up great nicknames was an easy thing to do. He had a ton of others, but I won't bother you with listing them off. That would take to long and you would be bored by the time you finished reading it, trust me.

Landon heard his tummy growling and checked his watch. Only 10:50. =O A whole hour and ten minutes until lunch. Mistuh Pope could not wait that long for food. He would have to find something to eat. And where better to do that? Somehwere he had never been before. Duuuuh. Mistuh Pope was going to go exploring in the kitchen.

What a wonderful place to go exploring.

Landon was currently on the third floor, and he knew the kitchen was on the ground floor. So Landon left the third floor and headed down to the dungeon. To have fun! Yes, it would be fun. An tasty. As Landon walked towards the smell of delightful food, he thought of what he, Landon, wanted for a snack. Something tasty. Something big. It took Landon the entire second floor to figure it out.

Mistuh Pope was going to have a giant cookie! And he was going to bake it himself. No silly house-elf was going to help him. Landon could get by on his own, thank you very much. And that was exactly what was going to happen. Mistuh Landon Pope was going to make a giant cookie.

Landon entered the kitchen [finally, yes, he is a slow walker] and headed over to the cooking area, ignoring the house-elves. He began searching the shelves for a recipe for cookie batter. Then he would just bake a big cookie. Yuuuum. But he didn't know where the cookbooks where. -.- This was going to take a while. His tummy rumbled, reminding him of how hungry he was.

Jasmine watched the boy for a long time. He was searching the shelves for something, but why? The house elves could cook something for him. then again...

She had a cookbook behind her back. She'd been taunting the house elves who wanted it. Maybe that's what the boy was after. She stood and brushed the crumbs from the cake she'd been eating onto the floor and looked down at her attire. Misfits shirt, black skinnies, notebook chucks, My Chem hoodie, black hat on her straight black hair, fringe over one eye.

She looked like some sort of emo kid but this guy wasn't gonna care was he? She walked over and held out the book near him and tapped his shoulder.

"Looking for this?" she said with a grin.

[zepopeboy]

A voice and a tap behind Landon made him turn around. Looking for this? The girl held up a book. IT WAS A COOKBOOK! Landon dove at the girl, although she was right next to him and snatched the book from the girl's hands greedily. He leafed through it, Mistuh Landon would not be hungry for much longer. His stomach growled again, reminding him just how hungry he was.

That's when he really noticed the girl. The first thing he thought was that he was doomed to only meet girls and that he might as well go get a sex change operation now. -.- But that was quickly wiped away as he remembered the fact that he had snatched a book from the emo girl, and she might not like that. Landon set the book down on the counter and straightened up slightly.

"Oh, hi," Landon said, trying to sound nonchalant, "I didn't... Notice you there."

'course she wouldn't realize he had snatched the book out of her hands. He was just that inconspicuous. >=] A mischievous smiled played at the corner of the Pope Boy's lips. It was SNACK TIME! Yes, that was it. And Landon would let the girl [only if she was nice] help him make a snack, he might even let her take one [or more. = O] bites. Or he might not, because he was just that ebil. >=]

Jasmine grinned. "It's okay. I guess you're just hungry. Want some help? I'm Jas. Jasmine Iero." She extended her hand.

Looking at the boy, she noticed that he was sporting mischeivious grin that wasn't very comforting. Either he was very hungry or she was in for some trouble.

[zepopeboy]

It's okay. I guess you're just hungry. Want some help? I'm Jas. Jasmine Iero. That's what the girl told him confidently, extending a hand in greeting. Grabbing her hand firmly and giving it a light shake he said, "Hullo Missus Iero." That was all. He smiled and grabbed the book up from the counter. It was at that time the Landon realized the girl wanted to help.

"Suuure," he told her, "you can be my assistant, if your good you might even get some cookies."

A house-elf appeared out of no where, a large tray of cookies in his hands. "Away!" Landon told the elf, "I want cookies, not... Away!" The house elf backed away, muttering rude words to himself. Landon rolled his eyes. The silly thing had brought him cookies. He wanted to make his own cookies, not eat some icky house-elf made thingamabobers.

He flipped through the book and found a good cookie recipe. He wasn't going to use that one. He'd make his own! "Now, Ms. Iero," Landon said, "you can get me some flour, 'kay?" He would say please, but he was the head chef! She was just an assistant, which meant he got to boss her around. So he didn't have to say please.

[jasmine1990]

Jasmine smiled and saluted army-style. "Sir, yes, Sir."

She turned and found the flour in a cupboard. As she passed it to him, She asked "Mind if I ask your name?"

She was slightly scaredby the way he'd treated the house elf but maybe he was aiming for a certain type of cookie.

"So are cookies my payment for helping you?" she grinned

[zepopeboy]

Sir, yes, sir, the girl said, saluting. He resisted the urge to smile and nodded curtly. "That's what I like to hear, Ms. Iero," he told her. Although this girl looked rather emo, she definitely wasn't. Well, Landon looked emo, but he was far from it. Landon had to stop labeling people. Yes, he did. NUMBER ONE PRIORITY: meet people that are guys stop labeling people. Yessireebob, that was done. [=

Jasmine passed Landon the flour and he took it. He found baking soda and sugar in other cabinets and emptied his ingredients into a clean, empty bowl. He found a spoon and handed the spoon and the bowl to Jasmine. "Stir!" he commanded, and then added, in answer to her question, "you may call me 'Your Head Chefness'." He grinned. He was a Head Chef, that's what you called them.

Then, Landon went to finding things to add to his cookie. He searched in the cabinets and found a bag of white chocolate chips and a bag of what could either be peppercorn or normal chocolate chips. Let's hope it's the latter, 'cause he was putting it in his cookies. He set the bags down on the table and turned to Jasmine, who should have been stirring, and hopefully was.

"Yes," he told her, "they will be your reward, or your punishment, depending on how they turn out."

[jasmine1990]

Jas grinned and stirred the mixture.

"Despite you being the Head Chef, it would be nice to know what I can call you if I continue to talk to you outside the kitchen."

She looked at the second bag he'd picked out. "You do know that's peppercorn right? Normal choco chips are in that cupboard." She pointed to a cupboard not far off.

Continuing her job, she glanced over the rest of the kitchens, looking at the people sitting there with the house elves serving them. She smiled as making them with 'His Head Chefness' was more fun.

[zepopeboy]

Jasmine was stirring the mixture, very good. [= As she stirred, Landon poured the rest of the mixture into her bowl. He then took the bowl and began stirring it himself, he had to do something too. He wondered if the girl knew how to make icing. Hopefully, she did, because that was what her job was going to be. "Missus Jas, please go make some icing," he told her, "oh, and, this is a no cookbooks kitchen-" he tossed the cookbook aside, "good assistants make up recipes if they don't know how to make things." It would be interesting to see what she did.

"Mistuh Head Chef, duh," he said, rolling his eyes playfully.

Jas pointed out that he had, in fact, emptied peppercorn into the cookies. Landon wasn't one to be upset that easily. He just grinned and kept on stirring. "Well then," he said nonchalantly, "I suppose our cookies will be a little spicy." This would be interesting. Landon was very relieved that Missus Iero would be taking the first bite and not him. It wasn't as if he had ever cooked anything before in his life.

There were other people around them, but they weren't nearly as cool as Mistuh Head Chef and Ms. Iero. [= They were going to make white chocolate chip, peppercorn cookies. Perhaps they'd even put some hot sauce in. If they didn't like it, they could go around and feed it to all the silly people, and watch them gag in horror. Who wouldn't enjoy that? Perhaps the silly people, but Landon would.

[jasmine1990]

Jas smiled. "Fair does."

She remembered being small and making icing so she found the correct ingrediants and mixed them together. Whilst she worked she smiled at the comment of the young chef. "Oh yeah. I'm sure I'll enjoy them as much as you."
