[hr] Location: Kitchen Interacting with: [@CanisMajoris2], [@Fubsy], [@Alethias], [@DisguisedDemon] [hr] Mandie winced as she noticed more and more people entering the room, and as the density of the room increased, she backed away into a counter, which she pushed herself on top of to avoid the overwhelming crowds. She watched as noodles were passed around and opened a drawer with her toes boredly, from which she plucked (with her fingers) a few wooden spoons to cook with. One she tossed to JC, the second she chucked to Leo (it hit the puppy, unfortunately), and the last she slid along the counter to Calliope. As Mandie worked, she caught herself murmuring along with the guitar playing outside. [color=orangered]"She told me she worked in the morning and started to laugh,"[/color] she whispered, tapping a vague, off-tempo rhythm with her fingernails. Only once she realized who the source of the guitar playing was did she stop and fold her hands, lips slightly curled in disgust. So easy it was for him to irritate her now. Then again, the boisterous personalities of those around her weren't too pleasant to her, either. She propped her heels on cabinet handles and continued to watch idly.
