Comfort Food

[genius_here]

[Finding his way to the dining hall, Rodney sits himself down at a random chair at the largest empty table he can find. For a minute he just sits there tapping his fingers on the table... thinking.

He's not tried this wishing thing yet. He's not really he's fully sure how it works, but if the Castle has already taken payment from him he's damn sure he's not going to waste it. And, he's a scientist after all. What good would he be if he didn't experiment.

With that he clears his throat and begins...]

I wish for ice cream sundae, make it caramel, no hot fudge and whip cream and a cherry. Or better yet, make the ice cream pistachio, hmmm or maybe Neapolitan would be better.

Better yet, a banana split with a scoop of vanilla, chocolate, and ... not strawberry, um... how about chocolate chip?

Oh, now you know what would be good, chocolate chip cookie dough! It's been like forever since...

[Suddenly the table began filling with the different ice cream treats that Rodney mentioned and some he only had thought about but hadn't yet said.]

Uh, oops?! I think I may have gone a bit overboard. If anyone cares for some ice cream...

Comments

[toobravehearted]

Someone has a healthy appetite. Or imagination.

[genius_here]

A bit of both actually... But I think this time I may have wished more than I can eat.

Pistachio?

[toobravehearted]

Gesundheit. [A pause, and a quick smile as he enters the dining hall further instead of leaning at the door.] That's kind of you, thank you, but I shall pass.

I think you've wished for more than what half of the castle can eat. Purely by accident, so it seems.

[genius_here]

I'm sure that kind of thing happens. Run away wishes and all that.

Was much easier than I expected to be honest. In my experience, that's not a good thing.

Action

[DID SOMEONE SAY FOOD?

Sugar was already on her way to the dining hall, but when she sees the cold treats laid out on the table, the fairy zooms over to gasp and stare.]

Oh wow! So much ice cream!

[Rodney's eyes look up to see... he's not fully sure, he's never encountered a fairy before. Didn't think they actually existed.]

Yes uh, small wishing mishap. Help yourself.

Action

[sugarwaffo]

[It's hard to mistake Sugar for anything but a fairy. Only a few inches tall and hovering with her wings, she looks exactly like your typical fairy. Well... except for that pink hair of hers.]

Oh boy! Thank you!

Now, let's see. Hmm... [What to choose? She floats in the air, surveying her options.]

[babyaliendaddy]

I'm sorry, dude, but you did say free ice cream? Fuck yeah, I'm on that shit.

[genius_here]

[He recognizes that voice... And, only one person has called him 'dude' since he arrived. There's a smile to his tone when he speaks even though there's not one on his face.] I'm still not a dude!

Tucker, wasn't it?

[babyaliendaddy]

If you gotta dick, you're a dude, dude.

[Heh heh. Sup Rodney? It's your favorite foul-mouthed Private.] The one and the same. How is life treating you, Rodney? And where's this ice cream?

[Dictated]

[cant_breathe_no_heir]

Ice cream.

[A drawn out silence as he thinks.]

What is that?

Re: [Dictated]

[genius_here]

Seriously? You don't know what ice cream is?! That's a crime.

Basically it's cream or milk with added sugar and flavouring, like fruits or chocolate, that's whipped while it freezes.

[Dictated]

[cant_breathe_no_heir]

[ooooh....]

There is... milk in it?

[silentrunning]

[Chell walks in ... and gawks. That is a LOT of ice cream. But she hears what he said, and wanders over, flopping down across the table from him and snagging a sundae.]

Thanks.

[She grins.]

[genius_here]

[Rodney smiles at Chell, impressed with her manners.]

You're very welcome!

[silentrunning]

[And she grins back.]

You have brilliant taste in ice cream, sir.

Voice

[hasmommyissues]

The offer is very much appreciated my good man.

However I am watching my figure.

Re: Voice

[genius_here]

Really?! [Rodney stops the spoon mid-way to mouth]

I hadn't thought about the drawbacks... [Shrugs]

Too late now I suppose. Can't let it all go to waste now can we?

[hasmommyissues]

A little short sighted of you...but never mind.

Perhaps you are gifted with a good metabolism?

[simulatedmedic]

You know what they say about eyes being bigger than stomachs.

[genius_here]

Yes yes, clearly I have that problem. Although, in my own defense, this was my first crack at the wishes.

[simulatedmedic]

I take it you've also heard that nothing is free? Not even "magic" wishes?

Dictated

[princelyspirit]

Urgh... no offense, but I can't believe that anybody's thinking about food at a time like this.

Re: Dictated

[genius_here]

None taken. It's always time to think about food. In my recent experience it's best to fill up when you have a chance to, anything can happen at any minute and who knows when you'll have that chance again.

Re: Dictated

[princelyspirit]

It sounds like you had it pretty rough before you came to this place. But... I don't know. Maybe it's because I had it easy back home, but it's hard to think about things like ice cream sundaes after everything that happened. It's almost a little too cheery, you know?
