KICK IT UP A NOTCH [Building Gingerbread Houses with Northstar]

[Sel]

[align=center]

Selena Felix

She'd been in the kitchens with several NPCs all day. Sel wasn't much of a chef, so she ended up heavily relying on some of the more experienced bakers to put all this together. Definitely a wise decision, and led to some pretty nice gingerbread pieces (and men) being made. While the actual baking and assembly of candy decorations was being done, Sel had sent an NPC to Northstar.

Now she stood in the cafeteria, gingerbread and frosting and candies all over the tables for people to use. She was overseeing the final touches, waiting for Northstar to arrive, and casually biting the head off of the gingerbread man she was snaking on. She'd hardly been able to stop eating them ever since the first batch came out of the oven, and she had a feeling she was about three men past the limit and would likely have to excuse herself to be sick at any minute.

That was a problem for future Sel. Present Sel was going to enjoy her goddamn cookie.

"They're here!" Someone called, running into the cafeteria to alert her before Northstar's delegation could come in and surprise her. She damn near choked. "Go get the rest of the group." She said when she could speak, waving a free hand, gaze turning towards the people from Northstar that were now filing in.

Personality —
— Sel is a very bold, competitive and stubborn person, with a wild side that is shown frequently as well as flirtatious tendencies. She is easily bored and is always on the lookout for adventure, with a spark of curiosity that she hopes will lead to what she seeks: adventure and romance. She seems to not be a very serious person and would rather have fun than be productive, and failing entertainment she can be quite productive and get quite a bit done. She's loud and lacks discipline. While Sel is irresponsible (and oddly bossy) and wild, she is very family-oriented and loves her family dearly. She is usually a cheerful, friendly person but she definitely has a passion for the weird, dark and creepy. She is somewhat vain and egotistical. She has her secrets and one of them is her intelligence and ability to collect information; most dismiss her as a dumb party girl (or something like that) and that's part of her cover, she has her fair share of sins and has to have a way of hiding them, and because she is a good liar and good actress, she succeeds.

— mateo had never tried to make a gingerbread house, before. when he was younger he could vaguely remember eating gingerbread cookies - but it all seemed like a faint dream more than a distant memory. a memory so faint and far away he couldn’t even remember if he liked the taste of gingerbread or not. regardless, he wasn’t even there for the gingerbread houses.

it was about time he came over to visit sel, rather than making her wander all the way to northstar to see him. “sel,” he greeted once he found her. with a grin on his face and a look so genuinely glad to see her, he wandered closer. “looking as gorgeous as ever, corazón.” and he meant it. he really did. the man was a charmer, but he was also quite the sap when it came down to those he cared about.

[truce.]

    Whilst Tara was never really one with a keen eye for baking nor decorating, she'd gladly participate in building a gingerbread house if it made Finn happy. And so, as Northstar arrived, Tara made her way to the back of the room with her two year old son, taking a seat with him on her lap. ❝ Ohh, look at what we have here. ❞ She cooed gently, leaning over the table to grab a gingerbread man for Finn.

The young boy was committed to leaning over and trying to grab the cookie, only for Tara to begin smiling. ❝ Hey, you're only allowed to eat him once you make him look all pretty. Look at this: frosting, candy... ❞ She began to grab some bowls for Finn, the toddler humming thoughtfully before taking a spoon. ❝ Mm... This! ❞ And with that he began to messily spread icing all over the gingerbread man with the back of the spoon.

Selena Felix

To say that she was positively delighted with Mateo's appearance would be an understatement. She'd grown so used to having to always go to him, him hiding out in Northstar, lest one of his enemies spot him and try to hurt him. She knew it was for the best that he stay far away from Bluestem, but she still wished it didn't have to be this way.

But he was here now, that's all that mattered. She spun around to see him, face lighting up immediately. "Mateo!" She exclaimed, happy as she could be, going up on tip toe and reaching up to his cheek with her free hand. "Get down here." Dating someone so much taller had its benefits, but had its inconveniences when all she wanted to do was kiss him.

[bub c.]

MY DEAR, THERE ARE SECRETS HERE | | |

Bub was feeling pretty optimistic about this. Gingerbread houses were, well, pretty fun; she'd spent one winter with a kind family who'd made them. Of course, the gingerbread tasted like ash and she ate it more as a dare than anything else, but she remembered nearly crying with laughter as her and the other kids raced to make the best gingerbread house.

Maybe she ought to tell Sel about that, her sister did seem to want to know what'd happened when she was missing. Or maybe she could keep that fond memory to herself, like a keepsake that nobody could ruin.

Anyways, gingerbread houses with Northstar. She'd had little warning until she was being shooed into the room alongside a few other Los Santos residents, but everything smelled delicious and Sel seemed relaxed. Too relaxed- wait nope, she was kissing that dude. Last Bub checked, none of them were raised European so she instantly felt a jolt of pity for her sister.

Bub hurried over, not sure how to feel but she knew it wasn't good. All the guys in Sel's past that she could remember always used her sister, then threw her away like a wet paper towel when they were finished. Well, Bub wasn't going to let this guy or anybody else do that to Sel.

"Who's this, big sis?" Bub asked, voice cold and lacking her usual nervous tilt. She tried to put a hand on Sel's shoulder and pull her back a bit, distrust plain in her body language though her expression was hidden.

Believe it or not, most of her family would leave her alone whenever she was with a guy. Her parents didn't care, and Aaron wasn't about to touch that with a ten foot pole. But her sisters were different, especially Bub. It didn't matter what she was interrupting, as long as there was something to interrupt.

Sel sighed as Bub pulled her back a step. This was one of those rare times she didn't like being so short - even her sister, eleven years younger than her, was taller than her. "This is my boyfriend, Mateo. Mateo, this is Isabel, my sister." Then, knowing the fury she would surely unleash, she added: "Bub to you."
