Thanks, Rikku. Here, we're just about to start breaking out the candy. You're just in time.
Guin, you're welcome to do a sketch of the room... I'm sure it's not very well furnished at the moment but whatever you draw will be great.
Oh, Fan, there's a little tea box in the back of that cupboard and there's a few different kinds of tea in there. There's peppermint, green tea, chinese black tea, camomile and the regular varieties.

*moira steps into the common room after enjoying a rather peaceful day. Out of the corner of her eye, she notices Rikku stepping into....a triceratops*
:oWhoa...what the heck? *scratches her head* Don't tell me that's always been there and I never noticed....
*moira wanders over to the door, notices the welcome mat, and peers in. Her eyes are greeted by fellow Huffs and a few other house members as well. She smiles a bit shyly, unsure of whether to come in and interrupt their cozy talking. Her eyes spot bean bags around the place, and her eyes light up, suddenly forgetting her politeness*
Dude, bean bags! Hey guys:) Uh....would it be all right if I grabbed a bean bag and joined you guys? I haven't sat in one for ages...*grins excitedly*

*grins* Sure, Moira. Come on in. There are plenty of beanbags, and Fan's about to make some tea... do you want a drink or some food or something? Guin said it was cold out.

*smiles and takes a bean bag. Its skin is a soft fuzzy orange* Thanks! Yeah, it's a bit cold out, but I'm usually always cold, so I'm used to it I'm all skin and bones, lol.
And tea would be excellent! And food, did you say? *grins* I'm always up for eating of some kind. *thinks of what she feels like eating* Have you got any shortbread cookies at all?

Oh, there might be shortbread cookies in the cupboard, I know there are chocolate and macadamia nut ones, and chocolate and orange ones, but I'm not sure about shortbread. You might need to have a look in there.

Alrighty-o, then:) *gets up and makes her way to the cabinet and looks inside. She finds the macadamia, the chocolate, some chocolate chip, some peanut butter, and finally, a package of shortbread.* Ooh, yay! You've got some! *she takes the package out, but hesitates a bit, her eyes wondering to the chocolate cookies, too. She doesn't move for about a minute, just staring between both sets of cookies, then breaks out a few of each, decided to eat both. After finding a plate in another cabinet nearby, moira settles herself back onto her beanbag*
You shouldn't have said chocolate, hehe;)

Oooh yes, if there is any chai back there, could you get me one of those? Usually I brew the stuff from scratch, but I haven't had time to do that yet, and I'm not sure where I put my cinnamon sticks and green cardamon.

Mmmm....chocolate chai is the best. *stirs the tea and hands the mug to Koko* Careful, it's hot. I think I fancy peppermint. *takes her tea and camps out on a hammock* What a lovely, lazy day. ;D

*accepts mug graciously, careful not to spill any on Rue* Thanks, Fan. I've never had chocolate chai. I usually have soy chai or green chai (even though that just tastes... very ecclectic) but chocolate chai sounds interesting and nummy...
*looks out the window (on the opposite side of the dinosaur's belly)* Ahh, it's still cold and grey outside... which is why it's even better to be warm and with friends inside.

*moira sips the tea and smiles, feeling its warmth carry down inside her. She nods at 'Neko's comment* Too right you are, 'Neko And Tasia, you've made some excellent tea! Thank you very much:)
*sits in silence for a bit, basking in the great company, and still looking around, a kind of thrill inside her about rooming in the belly of a dinosaur*
This reminds me of when I lived in Alaska, and in elementary, part of school festivities dealt with the eskimo heritage, and once a year for about a week, teepees would get set up in class, and during play time we'd go in the teepees with our friends and have a fun time. Call me weird, but this reminds me of that

Certainly, my dear. *prepares her some tea* Peppermint, chai, um....green tea, what else was there? Oh, and honey. What's your poison?

Heh, Fan's currently our resident tea slave. But yeah, oh we used to have teepees as well, but they were more like lean-to thingies and stuff. In grade 6 we did this unit on Australian culture and part of it was to study Native Australian lifestyles and stuff and we had to go around the school in groups and pick a spot for our group (or tribe : to build a shelter and stuff. Ours was pretty crap, looking back on it, because we found a really big pine tree that had a HUGE trunk, and one branch had been cut off so there was like this massive stump (big enough for two or three kids to lie on) about 3m in the air... so we made that a shelter.
