Munchies || Flynn

[Vega Starling]

Sundays were the best for Vega. No drills, it was a slow day at the bakery and better yet her mother went out of New Rome to take a class on cooking for new dishes for the shop, so she was all by herself. While the morning was a bit of a rush, it was now late in the afternoon and there was nothing to do, so she did the only reasonable thing, she practiced. Her powers were nothing impressive most times, but napkins were easy targets. Or using her powers to give the baked goods a quick turn to warm them back up later in the day was always interesting. Though she quickly grew into a expert at this things and wanted to test it more.

Levitating herself was another deal, only a few inches to reach the higher shelves. Still a doting task as she ended up making it uneven and flying off to the side twice and falling over. Which would have been find if she hadn't heard the door charm ring. She shot her head up, curls out of place and a napkin stuck to the top, peeking just over the counter from the ground to see who came in. "Hi!! Welcome!"

[Flynn McAlister]

Flynn was still a wreck, but, of course, she wasn't going to show it at all. Instead, she got high. Really high. She was so stoned that she was on Cloud Nine and then some. She didn't have to care about stupid boys running around and trying to break her heart. Flynn had no time for all that mushy gushy stuff. Instead, she got high in her cohort, but after a few minutes, she got the munchies. Of course, none of the food in her cohort was good, so she ventured into New Rome. But she wasn't an idiot, of course, so she wore her darkest sunglasses so she wouldn't be caught by any of her superiors. She just wanted to get food, not get in trouble.

So she made her way to New Rome as she headed towards the cafes. She wasn't really picky about which one to go into, but she picked the first one she could find. She opened the door only to be greeted by a girl behind the counter. Flynn smirked as she moved her sunglasses on top of her head as she walked in towards the girl. "I know you," she said as she pointed at her as a smirk grew on her face. "You're that cute girl in my cohort. Whatcha doing here?"

[Vega Starling]

Saving herself any true embarrassment Vega rushed to straighten her hair(now minus one napkin) and stood up. Oh, it was Flynn. Vega knew who Flynn was, even if she didn't know her. Flynn was always in some sort of trouble to the Centurion of the Fourth. She was drunk, or high, or a unstable combination of the two. It was never any of her business though, so she stayed out of it. She watched as she moved up her sun glasses and spoke. wait....wat.


Okay, Vega hadn't heard the word cute outside her mother in years so that was a little shock for her. The second was how red her eyes were. She blinked and took about a five second pause before realizing she should answer. "AH! Yeah thats me... I mean the girl, not the cute part. I mean its a opinion but still...not that cute, just.... yeah. Not saying you are lying!! No no! I just mean like..." And cutting off that horse right there. She may be half black but she knew she was blushing enough for it to actually show.  Second Legionnaire in a while at the shop, maybe Cam brought in more business or something."My mom owns this place. I've been helping here since before I was even able to count to twenty." She said, trying to regain what nonexistant dignity she had. "Is there anything i can help you with?"

[Flynn McAlister]

Flynn chuckled to herself as she watched the girl get flustered a bit. It was a very welcomed change, especially everything the asshole did to her. "Nah, you're cute," Flynn said with a bit of a smirk as she walked up to the counter once the girl rambled one of a bit. "No matter of opinion on it. Cute's cute and you're cute." She clicked her tongue as she glanced over to the pastry display. "So your mum owns this shop? That's pretty cool." She pointed to the display case before she said, "So you make all this shit? Any of it good? I'm really craving something sweet."

Then she looked over back at the girl as she knitted her eyebrows a bit. "What's your name again? Isn't something fancy like Vegas or something? I've always wanted to go to Vegas. Sin City sounds like a place that I would fit in really well."

[Vega Starling]

Embarrassment? Check. So Vega was functioning at normal levels when complimented. She sheeply blushed and did a little half chuckle, unaware how to respond to the girl, choosing to let it slide. No big dealio right?! Gods she was dead. "Um yeah! Shes had it since before I was born, well I guess she had at least." she sputtered out before taking and breath and nodding "Yeah, I make most of the sweets, my mom handles the breads and such. I'd like to say most of them are good since I make them. The cupcake of the day is strawberry lemonade if you'd like one of those."

Vegas? She smiled a little and shook her head "Close, its Vega. And Your Flynn. The one always being called by the Centurions all the time."

...
Error recognized. Rebooting. ...50%...85%....Reboot completed.

"NOT TO SAY YOU ARE IN TROUBLE OR A TROUBLE MAKER OF ANYTHING I JUST MEAN THATS HOW I KNOW YOUR NAME. NOT THAT IT HAPPENS A LOT I MEAN IT HAPPENS NO MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE I MEAN...Cupcake?"

[Flynn McAlister]

"Strawberry lemonade," Flynn muttered to herself as she eyed the display. Everything looked delicious and she knew that she didn't have enough money to buy every last sweet in the display. Besides, she didn't want to puke in the middle of the cute cafe in front of Vegas because of a sugar overload. But she eyed the sweets, making a mental list of everything she wanted to shove into her mouth in a few moments. She glanced over back at Vegas as she started talking again.

"Vega?" she asked as she raised her eyebrow in thought before she shrugged her shoulders. "Eh, still kinda cool as Vegas, but I like Vegas better." But then the girl started rambling about the Centurions and her being in trouble or whatnot. Flynn raised her eyebrows, not completely following what Vegas was saying. But she shrugged it off as she shook her head. "Nah. They just don't understand my lifestyle at all." But she turned her attention to the cupcakes as she walked over to the display case holding them. "Yeah, sure. Do you got other flavors of that shit? I want to try others unless you only have strawberry lemonade."

[Vega Starling]

Vega sighed in relief at the fact she didn't feel insulted by what she had said. That was the last thing she could ever want. She nodded as she asked about the other cupcakes. "Yeah that is just our cupcake of the day. We have the classics every day. Chocolate, Vanilla, Red Velvet, and Marble." Vega was always proud of her cupcakes, mostly since they were the best thing she made and she knew it. She had been baking since she was 11 but she only recently stated mastering cupcakes where every batch was perfect. "But we also have other stuff as well. Cookies, Baked goods, Breads and sandwiches. Anything catching your eye?" Vega seemed to have fully calmed down and was no longer a pile of rambing goosh. For now at least.

[Flynn McAlister]

Flynn licked her lips before she clicked her tongue as she eyed the cupcakes. Each and every one of them looked so delicious and it didn't hurt that the person who made them was a cutie. "All of that shit looks and sounds good," Flynn said as she looked back up at Vega before pulling her wallet out of her pocket. "I'll take one of each of those cupcakes. And do you want something?" she asked as she raised an eyebrow at Vega. "You'd want to have something right, Vegas? I mean, I don't know how you could stand being around all these things and not want any of them." She eyed the girl a bit before she looked down at her wallet. "So what will the damage be?"

[Vega Starling]

For some reason Vega felt like she was about to be a deer hunted by a lioness, yet Flynn wasn't as bad as her cohort had made her out to be. She was actually nice, and Vega had felt bad. She had figured she was a troublemaker for a reason, she had judged her and she didn't even know her. She laughed when she said one of everything, this girl had a serious sweet tooth. Not even she could eat all those cupcakes. She smiled as she shrugged "eh, I eat them a lot so not really." she said as she pulled the cupcakes she ordered and put them in a box. The damage? She just shrugged it off "Don't worry about it, As long as you like them" she said and laughed a little. Vega was determined to get to know the real Flynn rather than the one she saw at the cohort. After all she knew what it felt like to not be yourself there.

[Flynn McAlister]

Flynn was about to pull out money before she stopped. She had to be too high. There was no way she just got the cupcakes for free. She looked up at the girl and smiled before she chuckled a bit. “You have to be shitting me, but you're too sweet, cupcake.” She took the money that would've gone towards the cupcakes and stuck it in the tip jar. “I have a feeling these are going to be very good cupcakes.” She smirked as she grabbed the box before she nodded her head to the tables. “You want to join me? You can have some yourself if you want.”

[Vega Starling]

Most of the customers she got today had just gotten had just came in and left so it was unusal for Vega to think of someone sitting at the tables but she shrugged the idea, Flynn seemed to be good company at least. Very cheerful and happy, and apparently on a sugar rush. She smiled and shrugged again, "Why not, I'll just go back to the counter if anyone comes in." she said simply before grabbing a couple forks and going over to one of the tables with Flynn.

"I mean I like to think they are great but they aren't the best cupcakes ever, i am still working on the recipe though, they get to dry too quickly don't last long after they are made." she said simply, looking at the cupcakes she gave the girl. She was determined to get them right one day, hell she'd use magic if she needed to.

[Flynn McAlister]

Flynn smirked to herself as Cupcake agreed to join her at the tables to enjoy the cupcakes. She sat down at one of the tables next to a window and sat the box down. She opened it up as she pulled out a very delicious looking chocolate one. Vega brought over forks, but Flynn didn't use one. She was going to go about this the old fashioned way.

She stuffed it into her face as Vega said these weren't the best ever. Flynn's eyes widened. These were already great, but if they could be better. She finished her bite as she quickly as she could before she said, “If you need someone to be your taste tester, sign me up. I'm so down for it if I'm eating good shit like this.”

[Vega Starling]

Vega liked to believe she didn't care if anyone liked her baking or not. Kinda that whole 'i don't have to please everyone' feeling and yet when she saw Flynn stuffing her face and enjoying it she couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. There was a pleasure in people liking things that you made, it made her feel like she had done something good. She laughed when she volunteered to be a taste tester and kept her smile on her face. "I think a taste tester would work perfectly. I've got a few new flavors I've been meaning to try anyways." She ate her cupcake with a fork, having just cleaned up her messy self and not wanting to make another. "It's all a lot of trial and error when making them but I want to make them the best I can you know?" she sorta rambled as she ate. Vega didn't have much to do in her life; legion, home, work, repeat. Cupcakes were something she could pour herself into without having to leave, she could make them about anything with anything and with no rules attached. Every cupcake was different, some had more sugar, some had more eggs or milk, she never followed the same recipe twice and tired to make the most unusual cupcakes she could. It was her mark on New Rome, every cupcake was like tagging a wall to her. It left her mark.

[Flynn McAlister]

Flynn just stuffed her face as she listened to Vega go on about her cupcakes. “I'm definitely down for that kind of shit. I'll taste anything you make.” She smirked to herself as she finished stuffing the chocolate cupcake into her mouth. She reached up to wipe the crumbs off her mouth before she added, “Cupcake, I'll eat whatever you make despite how many times it takes to get it perfect.” She chuckled to herself as she grabbed another cupcake. “I mean, that means there's more of your baking for me right?” She started stuffing the new cupcake in her mouth. “I mean,” she said between mouthfuls of food, “I wish I could make this shit. I can barely make a PB&J or whatever.”

[Vega Starling]

Flynn seemed to be fully enjoying herself and Vega just smiled wilder. Some things made her soft inside and seeing people enjoying her baking was one of those things. Her mom, customers, Cam and now Flynn. She was starting to feel more at home the more she met people. She smiled as she ate her cupcake and nodded. "Of course,  whenever I make anything you can have some." she said looking back at the deserted shop and then back at the girl. "If you want, I could teach you sometime. Baking I mean of course. It wouldn't be the master chief but it is something. Of course only if you want to, I mean not everyone likes cooking others like to just eat things as well." she was mumbling like before but more confidently at least. She wanted to be Flynn friend and she knew that this could lead that way.
