While the preliminary poll and sign ups had gone up, the zomboil had begun to calculate the funds necessary for the even to (hopefully) go well. As secretary, he had to keep in touch with Thackery on seeds, Alex on posters and general attention getting, and Amrita and Aymet whenever he could nab them about this idea or that, leaving him a very busy boil indeed. After sign ups had closed, however, it was time to get to a different sort of work. While Prom was still a ways away, Mort was not able to brook the idea of waiting, even if food was not his strong point, and texts and notifications were sent to the students who wanted to help with catering about the meeting time and place. As the saying went: strike while the iron's hot.
Mort had commandeered an empty club room for the time being since it only needed minimal moving about. Four desks were arranged in a semi circle, while his own was pulled up front and in the middle to view them all. He ran a hand through his hair as he calmed himself, checking not for the first time that day to make sure no gray had crept up on him; he needed his head in the game.Quote: HIYA FOOD PEOPLE

The boil looked around the room and noticed there were two boil only and there were some familiar faces. He gave a gentle smile to everyone and be the first to suggest something.
"Hums! Shall we start? I don't have any experience on prom, but I do see people are wearing pretty clothes, so I guess snacks would be kinda good, like a mouthful size....Er - I don't know cooking well, maybe some with experiences here can share a bit?" He looked around and particularly halted a while on Xiu and Terra, his Secret Sandy, she cooks well too.
When he finished, AJ looked at the zomboil, he saw him at the Club, but not only that.......Gene was somehow remembered also, thanks to Mot senpai, the serpent-dragon boil wondered if she was his ghoulfriend.

Amarus would have, maybe, had to bite back the sensation that something was choking her, if she was not a Lotus Eater; lately something in her life had gone fairly awry, which was making her a little less than excited for Prom. When she found out they were actually going to let her cater prom, she certainly cheered up substantially. Well, by "cheered up" it was more accurate to say she was in furthering-my-mischief mode.
Though she honestly planned to help them make a delicious menu; Amarus did everything to the best of her abilities, and thanks to Xiu, it turned out baking was one of her secret skills. The instant she made it through the door of the empty club room, Amarus beelined to a fairly stressed-out-looking Mort: "Big brother!" she greeted him, with a smile, her expression faintly glossy like she wasn't all there. Which was probably because she wasn't. Lately, she'd been sleeping a lot, and exposing herself to concentrated extractions of her own essence. It was helping. She thought.
"I am so glad to see you; congratulations on your success," she added, reaching her arms out as if to ask him for a hug. She tilted her head to the side and smiled, her bells ringing.
She also definitely wanted to say hello to Xiu, once the ghoul arrived. For now, distracted by her excitement at seeing Mort again, Amarus could only nod to AJ and wave a hand absentmindedly in greeting.

Floating into the room with a folder tucked under one arm, a bag on the other arm, and one hand fixing her chopped off hair, Gene gave a smile to everyone present accompanied with a little wave to Amarus and AJ, whereas Mort received a friendly little hug. "Thanks for getting this together, Mort." She smiled, patting the boil's shoulders free of some accumulated lint. "And congrats on making Secretary! I voted for you." A small laugh, and she handed the folder to the zombie. "Xiu and I have... a proposal, so to speak. We can divulge when she comes in." Her smile became a little more mischievous, and she floated to sit at an available desk.
"Good afternoon! How are you two?" She chirped, setting her bag on the floor.

When Xiu finally arrived, she immediately realized--and was delighted to find--that the faces that were present were all familiar ones. Eyes lighting up, the baku's lips spread into a smile as she lifted a hand to wave. "Hi, all! Hopefully I'm not late?" She paused to spare a quick glance at the screen of her eyephone before turning back to look at the others.
When she had heard that student council was looking for volunteers to cater for prom, the ghoul had practically flung herself at the sign-up sheet. Making food for one of her favourite events of the year? Yes, please! Not to mention that it could potentially prove to be very good experience for her and Gene.
And speaking of the ghoul, there she was...but first, there were greetings to be done. "Hi AJ, hi Amarus! I'm really looking forward to working with you guys!" Each of them received a hug in turn, and then she turned to wave at Mort, her face beaming. "And yes, congrats on getting elected Secretary, Mort! I know you'll do a great job."
Finally, she moved to settle into the desk directly beside her friend and future-business-partner, unable to suppress her grin as she turned to look at the ghost ghoul. "Excited?"

Mort gave AJ a strange look, not because he was a (semi) new student, but because he had the strangest feeling like he'd seen him somewhere else before . . . Odd. "In a bit," he told the monster with a nod. "Can take a seat if want to, ah . . . AJ, right? Should be few more've you coming--" Ah, there we go!
"Lil' sis!" he greeted Amarus with a grin, accepting the offer of a hug and gesturing for her to take a seat. In a way he was cheered to see the ghost being more active, considering the first time they had met she had been terribly placid and removed; though some big brother he was, not knowing she knew a thing or two about food! "Glad could make it! Well, was very close match, y'know. Word is won by just two votes." Against who? Against Nobody of course!
"Thanks," Mort went on with a bit of a sheepish smile and a rub of the neck as Gene and Xiu completed the member count. "Will try best as promised with the rest've council. Welcome to th'meetin, guys, n' thanks for coming." There was an odd dissonance hovering around the baku as he'd felt with AJ, but this was more subtle . . .Mrrr. Things to think about later.
The zomboil looked pleasantly surprised that the pair came with a proposition, and he pushed his glasses up with another small nod. "Excellent! Was hoping would attract up n' coming chefs. As should all know by now, Prom's theme is Dark Carnival. So 'course'll be things like, ah, rotton candy, snow cones, popcorn, lil' things like that. Council can handle small stuff, so what m'looking for are foods that're . . . something more substantial taste n' all. Would do this on my own, but ah . . . Don't even have stomach t'think with," Mort said with a chuckle. "So if have ideas--or proposals--lay 'em out t'me!"

Amarus recognized the pale, short-haired ghoul who floated in shortly after. Amarus nodded her head in acknowledgement of the other ghoul, her silver eyes and her expression blank as she calculated why she remembered her. It was a vague memory; so distant that she could no longer recall it had been an uncomfortable conversation on the ghost dorm couches, back when they'd both been in first year. Amarus faced Xiu and then Mort again instead of bothering to figure out where the nagging sensation of familiarity was coming from. She lounged across the desk's surface when Mort gestured for her to take a seat. She hardly sat in those chairs when she felt like it, much less outside of class.
In response to Gene asking how they were (or at least Amarus assumed that was who she was talking to, since she certainly wasn't calling Mort two individuals all in his own) was a one-shoulder shrug from Amarus. She didn't much like to talk about feelings, except if it was someone she'd known well before, and she wanted to tell them the exciting news that she actually had emotions now. The novelty of feelings was starting to wear off pretty quickly, though; stress and loneliness were two things Amarus could have done without. "You seem familiar," she said, instead, and then looked at Xiu who'd arrived. Amarus smiled, and her eyes lit up: Xiu was sweet, Amarus had a soft spot for the ghoul.
Amarus' hug for Xiu was perhaps a little too enthusiastic; the ghoul didn't particularly consider her own strength, and the fledgeling emotions had overwhelmed her with a sense of I like this ghoul. She let go quickly, at least, so that they could discuss their proposition.
She knew that the pair, Gene and Xiu, had something to propose. She wasn't sure what it would be, but Amarus was fairly focused on her own goal, and wasn't ever really the kind to consider courtesy... so she sort of just leaped to the chance to ask for one thing:
"Last year, there was punch. It was very good punch. This year, Mort, I was sincerely hoping I could come up with a series of different beverages? I am certain I could turn them into festive experiences. Very festive. Hot beverages, cool beverages... frozen ones, oooh, flaming ones, hmm..." Amarus tilted her head to the side, her eyes glazed over as she gazed into some distant speculation of the future, her bells ringing briefly. She brought one fingertip to her lip and pressed it there. "I mean, I've been learning to bake, so I can also help with desserts... a cupcake carnival game would be very much fun. But beverages, I would like to focus on that."
