Case 111 [Action]

[manofgnee]

[There's a party today in Xanadu! It's the day before Euphie's 18th birthday, and in an effort to avoid any sort of bad curse, Hanna's throwing her party on Sunday.

There are big picnic tables set up with all sorts of snacks and treats. One table is devoted to desserts, especially the big birthday cake. Hanna even managed to pull through and make cookies, despite his overall inability to cook or bake.

There's music, and speakers, and a myriad of decorations, including balloons, paper lanterns, streamers, and confetti. Hanna's spent the good part of the past week planning this party.
The grill is set up, and the present table is ready as well. Hanna himself is lounging in one of the chairs, a large box in his lap. Every so often, the box moves a bit, and Hanna smiles and sticks a finger through the hole in the top of the box.

Yep. Everything is set for one awesome party.]

Well...I've tried learning before, but I'm just sort of terrible with cooking...but hey, I'm always willing to give it another shot.

I could write down directions for the super-basic things? Trust me, Hanna, I've showed some pretty cooking-hostile people how to at least work an microwave and an oven, and those're the most important things.

And if all else fails? I promise I can hook you up with food. No going hungry, got it?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Nah, I'm eating, promise. I can do some real simple stuff, but...well, I'm just sort of really bad at a lot of things. Heh.

[Still, he smiles.]

Directions that actually make sense would be pretty awesome, though.

Well... you can't live on cereal, ice cream, and sandwiches forever, and I bet you'd be just fine at cooking with a little help. You made the cake and everything, didn't you?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

I made the cookies...had help with the cake though.

[He sighs a bit at that.]

I know I can't...even if sandwiches and cereal are delicious.

[horrible-penny.livejournal.com]

Still... that's a lot. And the cookie I had was really good.

[Is she stretching the truth? The world may never know.]

At least say you'll stop in for soup or something hot when it starts getting colder out?

[manofgnee.livejournal.com]

Course I will! Besides, it'd give me a chance to come over and say hi!

[horrible-penny.livejournal.com]

Great! Thanks, Hanna. And thanks for giving Euphie an amazing birthday.

Heh, she's a great friend. It's the least I could do for her. For anybody who has a birthday, really...
