Pizza Planet - Tuesday Lunchtime

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

After the carnival in the Danger Shop, Peter headed down to Pizza Planet to meet Willow.  It wasn't like carnival food had ruined his appetite.  

He took a seat and studied the menu, mentally crossing off the types of pizza that including pig.

[OOC: Peter's here for Willow, but open for all your midday pizza needs.]

Peter quite possibly pouted and looked at her sadly. "Anything but that."

"My poor knight," Willow said. She leaned over to kiss him. "Okay. You can still have cookies. But you have to promise to brush."

"You could show me how to make the cookies," Peter said, kissing her back. "Then laugh at my lack of cooking ability."

"Oh!" Willow said, perking up. "That could be fun! We could take over a common room and eat raw dough."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"We could! And when people came around asking for cookies, we could give them the dough." He grinned. "Or we'll have you keep an eye on how long they're in the oven."

"I think it would be rude to shove people who asked for cookies into the oven," Willow said, looking innocent. "Though that might work if they tried to steal them."

"Perhaps if it was a cookie monster?" Peter replied, grinning.

"Wouldn't he be more interested in staffing the cafeteria?" Willow asked.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"What if the cafeteria didn't have any cookies that day?"

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Sad day for lunchgoers then," Willow said.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"And would probably make for a rampaging monster looking for cookies."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Would making cookies help to bring peace in our time, do you think?" Willow asked.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

Peter blinked. "Hopefully not in a Munich Conference way."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Well therein lies my point," Willow said. "Are we bridging cultural barriers between us and the cookie monsters or are we just enabling them in their destructive lifestyle by giving them what they want?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"I'm pushing the cookie monsters in the oven if they try to steal our cookies," Peter said. "Thus ending the quandry."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"What if the cookies are already in the oven?" Willow asked. "You may have fallen for their trap."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Not too intelligent of a monster if it tries to steal cookies before they're through making," Peter pointed out.

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Maybe it likes them in the halfway stage?" Willow suggested. "Like those cupcakes with the hot batter inside?"

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Hopefully the monster has an asbestos gullet then," Peter said, frowning slightly. "Otherwise he'll end up burned."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"He could blow on them," Willow pointed out.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"I...suppose?" Peter said. "Though it seems to defeat the purpose."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Perhaps it's a part of monster culture we are not meant to understand," Willow said. "It could be a secret tradition passed on from parent to child, connecting them to their ancestors."

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Perhaps. Or perhaps this monster is a deviant and flies in the face of the traditions of his culture thereby defying his ancestors by stealing and eating cookies."

[willbedone.livejournal.com]

"Either way, we won't know until we try to talk to him," Willow said, nodding as though that solved the problem.

[once-a-king.livejournal.com]

"Talk to our hypothetical monster?" Peter said. "Probably before I push him in the oven, hmm?"
