Home Again, Home Again
It was so good to be back. Sylvie was making her way across furniture and particularly sturdy bits of wall decor, everything just like it was supposed to -- Oh. They moved that chair in the front atrium. She couldn't reach it now.

"The nerve, not preserving everything, amberlike, to await my return," she joked to herself as she climbed down and made her way across the floor. For good measure, she grabbed the chair with her top arms and very slowly but surely dragged it towards its more convenient spot.

"People have a way of changing things." comes the response from the next room.
"But hopefully this will help. I need a guinea pig or two to try some of these sugar cookies I made following old German and Norwegian recipes to give to Moira and Danielle's family for a taste of home. I'm not sure if I did them right, not used to such a well stocked kitchen. Make you a deal, tell me where things should go, and I'll move furniture, if you'll eat cookies and tell me what you think?"

	Sylvie looks up, grinning, from the chair that she could totally get to the right place eventually, don't get her wrong. "So I'm bribing you with eating your cookies? That has to be one of the best plans I've ever heard." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dream_catcher 2009-12-23 12:31 am UTC (link)
	He has absolutely no doubt as to her capabilities, but this will be quicker, and is a way to convince willing victims to try the cookies. "You are indeed. I'm going to need a few opinions. This is only a test batch, so feel free to help yourself and make suggestions while you direct the moving process." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Do I smell..." came a voice, as Rachel rounded the corner, "cookies?" Surprise overtook everything else. "Sylvie!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quadrimanial 2009-12-23 12:56 am UTC (link)
	"We have a deal -- Rachel!" Sylvie handsprings over to her. "First: So good to see you! Second: Join me in this cookie situation." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2009-12-23 12:58 am UTC (link)
	"What's this I hear about cookies now?" Lyta entered the room, a grin on her face. "Hey Sylvie. Thought that was you I heard." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dream_catcher 2009-12-23 01:01 am UTC (link)
	"There is a dire cookie situation. I'm testing out half a dozen traditional Norwegian and German recipes to come up with a gift for Moira's family, but I need cookie testers to tell me which ones are best and which need work. I'm not really used to a fully stocked kitchen and not kind of making due, so I need feedback from the brave volunteers." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marvel_girl 2009-12-23 01:09 am UTC (link)
	Rachel smiled. "What is this? Old home week? First Lyta, and now you? How come nobody tells me anything anymore?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2009-12-23 01:16 am UTC (link)
	"The element of surprise. Always works." Lyta smirked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

She grins. "Lyta!" Then to Rachel. "I believe I said something last year about being back 'around-next-Christmas-ish.' People these days. You need things repeated, and you move the chairs." She gets herself a cookie "Which, if you could get that right over there about five feet from the wall, Lucas--" she points with a free hand. "While I get started with Test Group A."

	"No problem." he agrees, happy enough to have a chance to help out and to get his recipe tested. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marvel_girl 2009-12-23 01:43 am UTC (link)
	"...Test group?" Rachel asked, cautiously. She'd heard that tone from Uncle Hank before. "What's in those?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2009-12-23 01:44 am UTC (link)
	Lyta grabbed a cookie off the plate. "Hopefully, something that won't turn us all purple or something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's merely a taste test. That doesn't mean we should ignore basic rigor." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Lucas continues shifting the furniture about as Sylvie directs.
"I'm pretty sure you're safe from turning purple. Those ones are butter, sugar, eggs, flour, almond and vanilla, the second is shortening, sugar, eggs, flour, cardamom, cinnamon, almonds and orange juice, the third is brown and white sugar, butter, eggs, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, flour and oats, the other three are just variations on Norwegian sugar cookies, though the last one has maraschino cherries baked in. Just trying to figure out which ones get the best ratings, or if any of them are close, but need more or less of something."

	lytaworthington 2009-12-23 02:03 am UTC (link)
	Lyta nibbled on the cookie. "Mhhm....these ones are really good, Lucas." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marvel_girl 2009-12-23 02:11 am UTC (link)
	Pacified by Lucas, Rachel tried the cookie. "Okay, yeah. This is definitely good." "How long you back for, Sylvie?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quadrimanial 2009-12-23 02:18 am UTC (link)
	Sylvie takes a bite of control group F in between thanking and directing Lucas. "The cherries work surprisingly well." "Until further notice. I'm home for the long haul; Europe's done with me for now." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dream_catcher 2009-12-23 02:24 am UTC (link)
	"There, that's advice I can use. The only real difference between those last two is the cherries. I'll need more opinions, but will note a mark in their favor." he adds as he shifts one of the couches. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2009-12-23 02:35 am UTC (link)
	Lyta perked her head up. "Cherries?" She grabbed an F-group cookie, taking a bite of it. "Mmhm...they do." She took a cookie from the third group. "The vanilla is a nice little touch." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marvel_girl 2009-12-23 02:43 am UTC (link)
	"Awesome" Rachel told Sylvie. "Be cool to have the whole gang back together again." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quadrimanial 2009-12-23 03:17 am UTC (link)
	"Cool indeed. It's been an amazing year, but I've missed all of you." "In Group C," she indicates. "The nutmeg may be a bit much. I'm not anti-nutmeg, mind. Just, with what you're trying to do here..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dream_catcher 2009-12-23 03:20 am UTC (link)
	"I'm not very used to a full spice rack, I'm just following traditional recipes. Normally this is a ways out of my expertise. So noted, less nutmeg, but the sugar cookies with cherries are winners." he finishes moving the last chair. "I think we're set, everything back where it should be?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quadrimanial 2009-12-23 03:28 am UTC (link)
	Sylvie abruptly gets up on the furniture and crosses the room without touching the floor. She beams. "Perfectly, thanks!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2009-12-23 03:30 am UTC (link)
	"I've missed everyone too," Lyta said, taking another nibble of her cookie, "Not that I didn't enjoy college or anything." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dream_catcher 2009-12-23 03:32 am UTC (link)
	"More than welcome." he replies to Sylvie, pulling up one of the larger cushions usually for extra seating when the room is particularly packed, preferring the floor to the chairs and couches, settling in near the old friends to listen in. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marvel_girl 2009-12-23 03:41 am UTC (link)
	"Bah, college," Rachel said, making a face. "Dad's already on my butt about picking one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2009-12-23 03:43 am UTC (link)
	Lyta laughed. "Yeah. Dad must have shoved fifty different catalogs in my face." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	A reddish haired fourteen year old boy came around a corner and raced past the small gathered group. A moment later a very wet, bathrobe wearing, angry Cait came running after him. Her hair was streaked bright red and her skin was more reddish in color. "I'm going to kill you, Rufus Drake!" she yelled in Latin as she ran after her brother. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dream_catcher 2009-12-23 04:00 am UTC (link)
	Lucas watches the scene, stifling a grin. "I'm sure it'll come out, Cait." he offers calmly as she rushes past his spot on the floor. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quadrimanial 2009-12-23 04:02 am UTC (link)
	"Oh dear. Yeah, it should fade...eventually." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marvel_girl 2009-12-23 04:10 am UTC (link)
	Rachel sighed and threw up a hand and sent out a wave of mental energy, catching Cait in a TK grib. "Cait! Calm down! Think of the property damage! Think of the lectures!" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2009-12-23 04:11 am UTC (link)
	"I'm going to kill the little Twerp," she said not realizing she was still speaking in Latin. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dream_catcher 2009-12-23 04:13 am UTC (link)
	His Latin isn't perfect or anywhere close, but he speaks a little. "Not in the house." he urges. "Come on and settle down, have a cookie or three. You can catch him later." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lyta smirked. "No murder in the mansion." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marvel_girl 2009-12-23 04:57 am UTC (link)
	"Now, can I let you go... or do I have to keep holding on to you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2009-12-23 05:21 am UTC (link)
	"Let me go so I can go get dressed," she grumbled. She was going to have to come up with suitable retribution for Twerp Minor. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dream_catcher 2009-12-23 05:23 am UTC (link)
	He can't help but smile, just a little. "I think she'll be fine. And really, its not that bad, it'll wash out. Then come hang out, he'll keep." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	quadrimanial 2009-12-23 07:24 am UTC (link)
	"You can weigh in on cherries in cookies and the appropriate use of nutmeg." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	lytaworthington 2009-12-23 02:52 pm UTC (link)
	Lyta smirked, taking another bite of her cookie. "You've got him good and terrified too. You could use this to your advantage." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	marvel_girl 2009-12-23 04:29 pm UTC (link)
	"Okay, I'm trusting you on this one," Rachel said, before relaxing her TK-grip. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	_tsunami_ 2009-12-23 07:37 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm going to go get dressed," she grumbled. "And plot my brother's early demise." Cait stomped off. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dream_catcher 2009-12-23 07:38 pm UTC (link)
	Ok, so once she's out of sight, he grins. "And so the Drake family cycle continues." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"And you two can escape it," Rachel told Sylvie and Lyta. "I'm stuck with Drakes for another two years." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	dream_catcher 2009-12-24 08:57 am UTC (link)
	"I'll be here to help all I can. And you and I have a lot more training sessions and classes together and either of us and the Drakes, anyway." (Reply to this)(Parent)
