A Dash of (Culinary) Magic | Lottiana

After what felt like the longest grocery shopping trip of her life, Lottie was finally prepared for her first-ever cooking lesson with Tiana. She wasn’t quite sure what dishes the two would be whipping up, but she knew they couldn’t work with the leftover takeout and half-empty salt and pepper shakers that her barren kitchen held. 

So, in typical Lottie fashion, she went all-out. 

The fridge was stocked with vegetables, meats, and cheeses; the center island of her kitchen featured three (three!) bowls of fruit; and she was fairly certain she bought every spice the store had offered. Would they need all of it? Probably not. But hey, if this went well and she didn’t burn the entire house down, maybe she’d make cooking at home more of a habit.

Or not. Only time would tell, really.

The blonde had just pulled out her one and only cutting board when the doorbell rang. With a spring in her step and a lemon-printed apron tied around her (what? It was the only one the store had), Lottie greeted her friend with an excited grin.

“Hey there, Tia! Come on in. I’m ready to learn. And I even have a fire extinguisher.”

Loaners || Tiana + Ratigan

Thanks to the beast that now lived inside of him he had been made all the more aware how annoying those around him at the university were. The clicking of pens and the whistle nose of the professor across the hall had due to their allergic reaction to the blooms of Spring grated against his mind. 

Then, as if his punishment had not been severe enough, someone in the next room was building a new shelving unit for themselves against their shared wall in the loudest way possible. Work was alluding him which only built upon the growing frustration, the threat of it turning into the dangerous territory of anger had forced him from his seat.

He had taken refuge in the diner down the street. It, too, was a place of perpetual noise but not ones that had him on the verge of violent outbursts. 

It was late when he finally looked up from his work (both for the university and for his other affairs). The sun that had shone as he left the school to the diner having set some time ago without his notice. He had only ordered coffee while there, and now with his head up he spied as the waitress was wandering over to him with the pot. 

“Thank you,” he said once steam was rolling from the mug once more. Ratigan cast a glance around their surroundings, surprised to find that they were the only ones on the floor. “I’m not disrupting you by being here, am I?”

What is your favorite place you’ve been so far?

“Ain’t no place in the world like the beaches of Monaco! God I miss feeling warm sand under my feet instead of snow in my boots. Greece is a close second.”

//This is actually the truth, Flynn loves the beach. His retirement plan is ‘Buy one of those islands cruise lines have, ??????, profit’ lmao

🍁Do Tad and his sister ever fight? About what?

“Yo yeah. It’s like...okay so like Gilly got all these lists and things she wants to do and she thinks I’m like ‘wasting time’ or whatever. Time for what? I dunno my dudes. She’s usually just yelling stuff when I’m tryina vibe.”

🍁Is there anything that Petunia thinks used to be better but is much worse now?

Petunia thinks a lot of television used to be better. Like, don’t get her wrong, she does love a good trashy reality show but she misses the day of the sitcom. She loved those roles, loved how cheesy but heartfelt they always were, even when she wasn’t a series regular by any means.

What subject does Pip struggle with in school the most?

“Okay, fine! Maths aren’t my strongest subject, but I don’t need a tutor, thank you!!!”

🍁Does Devyn like to read? If so, what kinds of books?

Devyn likes books, likes stories and adventures but it’s always been difficult for them to get into reading. They read fairy tales growing up and most things since then have been rather disappointing. They just don’t have that happy spark that he’s looking for.

Beet Around the Bush & [Viana]

@almosttiana​

Vixey was just about to end her shift at the Market for the day. It was almost four o’clock and Tae would be rolling in soon to take over for her. Which was just fine with her. While Vixey did like her job at the Market well enough (it was certainly a better choice than some of her other options), it wasn’t anything she was particularly passionate about. And when things were quiet, it was rather boring. Of course, she wasn’t the kind of person to sit idle, so she swept or mopped or organized shelves when there was no one in the store, but--

That didn’t make it any less boring. Satisfying, because Vixey liked organizing, but boring. 

Right now, she’d cleaned up just about everything she could think of--so she was sitting at the register, scrolling Instagram on her phone--when a bell chimed above the door and Tiana walked in.

Vixey’s phone clattered to the counter. “Tiana, hi!” she called, before she could help herself. She probably shouldn’t have brought the attention to herself, but--well, too late.

Hey, you ok? It’s Interview Day!

Inhale, exhale. Breathe that fresh air, that sweet sweet air. No more scary fog scaring Swynlake’s inhabitants, but instead, the pristine air that had always been. Lumière was not present to see what caused it or what made it go away, but it was gone... and hopefully for good. Dealing with Eloise and Mia in Chapter Three was not how Lumière planned to enjoy his evening.

However, he did meet and befriend the hard-working Tiana Truitt. They discovered a mutual interest in possibly having Lumière work at her restaurant, Tiana’s Place... and my oh my, it’s interview day! With resume in hand and a genuine smile ready for the day, Lumière walked into Tiana’s Place with extra pep in his step. 

“Tiana! It’s so nice to see you this new day, how you feeling?”

Nominating Nuka for always being such a supporter of my business! Love to see that kind of community spirit

Don’t we all? Especially when it means getting to savour Tiana Truitt’s famous gumbo! Who could blame him for hanging around your place? 

Hi @nuka-blackwell, Tiana’s a fan of you just like you’re a fan of her!

OOC: Hi, this is a small-ish gathering at the Robinsons’ mansion on the night before NYE. Only people they personally are friends with were invited so please please please don’t feel slighted if none of your characters are on the list. This is just a small IC event and you can use it to plot threads or can ignore it! 

This isn’t like Franny’s Cambodian New Year party where literally hundreds of people trickle in and out of the home, most of the town is invited, and she has to hire security lmao. 

Each in play Robinson was given 5-6 people to invite, plus a handful that were just givens (Simba and by extension Ber bc Simba and coworker of Laszlo)

It’s a very chill “party” with food, the fire pit in the backyard’s got FIRE in it, there’s champagne and beer for anybody of legal age but not enough for everyone to get TRASHED, this is a casual thing, and Franny made some creative punches like strawberry jalapeno lemonade (it’s SO GOOD omg) as mocktail type options for any youths tm and anybody that doesn’t drink, and ofc there’s sodas

Franny cooked a TON of Cambodian and southern food but also just general party fare like mini cucumber sandwiches, there’s also burgers for the more #basic bitches, and plenty of vegetarian friendly snacks on account of her three fairy guests, and also all the meat is halal because she wasn’t sure how strict Simba, Reza, and Ratigan are with eating halal.

Givens: @simba-bonfamille-lyons and @ber-bonfamille-lyons on account of Simba is Simba, @professorofcrimeratigan, @miissbiianca, @professor-lungri are the courtesy coworker invites, @claraeuterpebaudry because when Franny heard her fave student wasn’t going home to her family for the holidays Franny insisted she stay in the Robinsons guest house, so she’s vibin

@mrrcbinson @alzcomicbarn, @rezares (for helping cornelius during the fog), @baenxietydad , sorry Phineas he’s trying to patch things up with Wilbur

@wilbur-robinson @justkeepdancing-nemo, @ashlee-inperfection, @ashle-intheknow, @exsqueak-me, @rydinger-tony, Lena lmk if there’s a couple more you’d like me to add

@eilonwy-notjustgirl (because she works for Franny’s non-profit), @almosttiana, @flameofpassion (a new friend but Franny wanted to welcome him to Swynlake with her small party), @missxspider (she’s Franny’s friend), @rosettapetalpot  (she’s franny’s longtime friend bc southern), and of course @american-dragon and her superfan Fu Dog

@petuniarobinson @apennywasted @lachlann-macnab

@laszlowrobinson I think all his pals have already been invited but Sid lmk if I missed anybody

It’s Always Nice To Catch Up || Minti

@almosttiana

Minnie was on her break and normally she took her break in the break room but she was in the mood for some cafeteria food. Mainly a coffee and a pastry. Coffee because it was every nurse’s life line and pastry because the brunette had a huge sweet tooth. 

Once her goodies were paid for, Minnie began looking for a seat because why bother going back to her unit when she was already in the cafeteria? Looking around, she spotted a familiar face and made her way towards the other vacant seat available in that table.

“Tiana, hi!” 

Minnie smiled bright, placing her tray down so that she can give her old friend a hug. It was a habit of the brunette, always hugging people as form of saying hello. It probably came from her Spanish roots. 

“How are you? I feel like I haven’t seen you in a while!” 

That of course, could be her own fault as Minnie practically lived between the hospital and primary school. She was surprised she saw Peri as much as she did, and that was saying a lot as the fairy lived with her.

Nice To Meat You || Kristiana

@almosttiana​

Kristoff had a cooking lesson. To be honest, he'd been thinking about it all day — to be extra honest, he'd been thinking about it ever since he'd arranged it. It had come from the realisation that he could only cook the most basic of meals; growing up the trolls had provided most things for him, and then when he'd been working, he'd either eaten with the family he was working for or he'd gone into town to grab something. The chances he'd had to learn to cook had been limited, to say the least.

He'd gotten home from work to find his roommate out; a good thing, too. He was about to embarrass himself, and the less people there for that the better. He had tried his best to clean the little kitchen up and make it look somewhat presentable, but there was no excuse for the rest of the apartment, which was mostly bare. Kristoff didn't have many possessions, nor did he want them. He doubted he would ever be a material sort of person.

He also doubted he'd ever be a personable person, but he was going to have to try tonight. He buzzed Tiana in when she rang, and then he went to open the front door when she knocked, trying to pretend that he hadn't been hovering nervously behind it since she'd buzzed.

"Hi, Tiana?" Who else would it be? He inwardly cringed. "Hi, come in, sorry about the..." Well, everything. He opened the door for her to enter, directing her to the kitchen. "Thanks for coming."
