Sailor Aster was doing her part to ensure that the civilians that were stuck in space were able to be happy and have their needs met. She was breaking a sweat in the kitchen, doing more work than she had ever done before in her life as she prepared a tasty treat for all the civilians who wanted a delightful snack. She was baking two hot trays of brownies - vegan brown of course, but equally delicious. Oh, and they contained a fair amount of marijuana in the margarine.
She emerged from the kitchen carrying two hot pans of fresh vegan pot brownies and placed them down to let them cool, the delicious smell spread through the air of the Leo Outpost attracting the attention of many.
"Free brownies for anyone who wants!" she cried loudly.

"Oh sure, make my candybars look like crap." Regulus accused the unfamiliar Aster, though it was with an joking smile as he lifted the box of Charleson Chew candybars he'd brought along. "At least the Soda I brought will go with something."
He had to admit, the brownies smelled delicious, though as a dedicated 'carnivore' he might have had to battle self control a bit less over the idea of Vegan brownies, never mind Vegan Pot Brownies. ((Europa's attempts to convince him of the merits of even vegetarian food had never gone especially well.))
"Probably should brought bottled water but I figured everyone and their cousin probably brought that." He admitted.
The supply run had an sort of awkward 'potluck' vibe at the moment, with no clear idea of what everyone was supposed to bring, and he felt like he'd maybe missed a request to bring a casserole. It was that kind of awkward.
"...But if this keeps up for long I guess we could always take request lists within reason. I mean "mani-pedi kits"... thats a little silly but 'paperbacks and mouthwash' maybe...."
He was a little anxious and it was showing, since he was running off at the mouth a little, and he cleared his throat in embarrassment as he caught himself at it.
"...Yeah. Soda." He added, limply. "Any cups around here? Champagne glasses?" The second was a joke, but with the way the Leo outpost looked, Champagne glasses seemed enormously more likely than plastic tumblers.

Natalia was briskly walking through, dirt and dust smudged on her face and her poofy brown hair held back by some sort of fabric wrap she had found. Needless to say she wasn't at her most attractive. Then again, maybe that was to be expected after....everything. Though at least she had managed a bath and had found some clothes in the closet of the room she occupied here. They were different but for someone who LARPed as a Gypsy, she didn't mind. If she ever got home she almost hoped she could take them with her...
But it was obvious that the girl had taken on a clean-up crew role - the things she carried with her were evidence enough, if the dirt wasn't. She stopped when she heard soda.
"Soda would be great," she said, sounding out of breath and more than a little tired.
It was then, stopped like that, that she took a moment to actually smell the scents of the room. Although her nose was a little off after breathing in so much dust.
"Brownies? They smell kinda different. They got nuts in them?" She made a face. She was allergic to nuts. Something she found out after a rather unfortunate incident with some Crunch-N-Munch. She hadn't been able to eat caramel covered pop corn since then, either.
"Oh, uh, I'm Natalia. Natalia Tsaritsa."

"Hi, I'm Sailor Aster," the brunette greeted with a friendly smile and a nod. "The brownies are vegan, so that's why they might smell different, but they're still really delicious and gooey! And no creatures were involved in the production of the ingredient, so there's that plus!" She paused and took three brownies out of the tray, offering one to Regulus and one to Natalia, and took a bite of the third. "Oh, and they have some pot in them!"

Ian had been working on cleaning up the second floor rooms, and when he realized he was thirsty, had popped up to the third floor kitchen just in time to catch the scent of very yummy smelling brownies.
He heard Regulus mention something about soda, and needing cups, and he was vaguely sure that he had seen some the last time he had been in the kitchen helping out.
"Let me go and grab some cups real fast, and then I would love one of those."
Perhaps it wasn't so bad up here in space, especially if some of the Senshi were are cool as this one seemed to be. After a few minutes of rummaging through the kitchen, he found a cabinet full of goblets, and carefully pulled about six of them. He could make more trips if more people showed up, but that would do for a start.
It was a little awkward carrying them out, but he managed, and then sat them them down. "I can get more if other people show up." It occured to him that he hadn't introduced himself yet, and added it almost as an afterthought. "The name's Ian."

Natalia crinkled her nose at the word 'vegan,' but her eyes all but flared at the word 'pot.'
'The ******** b***h!' Natalia thought. 'How dare she bring that crap in here!'
Blue eyes burned with a cold fire at the sunflower-dressed senshi. Of course said senshi couldn't have known of Natalia's rather rabid opinion on such things. It didn't stop the girl from being absolutely livid. Her brother had gotten started on his long, downwards road with occasional pot use back when he was in high school. Then in college he had gotten in to some harder stuff. The family was trying to get him to go to rehab, but he wouldn't have any part of it. Natalia was losing the big brother she had so idolized. The brother who had taught her so much and first introduced her to so many things that she had once enjoyed. She didn't anymore, because those things were a reminder, and it hurt.
"I hope you choke!" Natalia said before turning on her heel and briskly heading for the door. Soda be damned.

Cathleen looked around her new surroundings. She didn't know where was just that she heard someone say something about an outpost of some kind. Some of the people that she saw looked more banged up then she was. She heard someone mention Soda and Brownies she was a little hungry and thirsty and wouldn't mind partaking in anything she was offered.
"Thank you." She told the girl that had offered the free brownies.
"Umm this is so good. Better than my grandma's brownies what are your secret?"
Then she heard the word pot. Pot here in space? Well now she thought anything was possible.

"Er... yeah. I'm a die hard carnivore I'm afraid." Regulus noted, trying to be a bit more tactful as he turned down the brownies. That and he was a little afraid of being in space while stoned. "...That went well..." He added, under his breath and cleared his throat.
As soon as someone turned up a glass he took out the soda bottles. "Lemon Lime or Root-beer? I decided not to get into the Cola Wars this time through." He seemed to be trying to patch things over on the Brownie Wars.
"Nice to meet you Ian, I'm Regulus." He added, casting another look over to Aster and the others as he added. "Should uh... someone go check and see if she's ok?"

Pollux had gone to Leo due to two facts.
One: They had kitchens
Two: There were over fifty ******** civilians and he was betting they were going to b***h and moan and while he would deal with it, he also was going to assume they would be idiots and not eat properly.
However in his trek to the kitchens, he couldn't help but watch a young woman storm out from the room. The hall had carried the echo, and with a sigh, Pollux entered. What he didn't expect was that these brownies were being handed out by senshi. Truthfully, what irked him was the fact she'd wasted, (in his mind) perfectly good ingredients to make brownies of all things. They didn't need to be giving civilians things like sugar. They needed healthy, wholesome foods.
Pollux's mood worsened as he saw candy bars, soda, and other such 'luxury' foods. Didn't his fellow senshi think of long term nutrition?
Standing in the doorway of the kitchen he crossed his arms.
And judged them.

"You gonna glare, or are you gonna, oh, put stuff out?" Regulus demanded.
Admittedly most of what he'd brought involved bandages and blankets, but that was because he, like a lot of people, had fixated on the word 'hurt'. "Or if you feel like it you could always go after whats her face, who's apparently not a fan of uh.... " He cast a look at the brownie pan with a slightly... odd expression. "....Woodstock Brownies."
He couldn't entirely -not- grimace, but hey, they did have a pack of candy bars to boost low blood sugar and, in what he felt wasn't entirely going to hurt, give a little sugar soothing to very rattled people. It wasn't called "Comfort Food" for no reason.
He ducked into one of his bags again as he left Ian with his filled glass, and plunked out a number of bags of Jerky in various flavors. It was salty, yes, but then again, he hadn't been real sure about trying to find a way to bring a cooler full of meat into space. Besides, the Jerky was cheaper than trying to buy sixty peoples worth of burgers. Plus he didn't really want to deal with "I like mine rare" or "I only eat SOY" burgers."
So the jerky was, like everything else, including the plethora of cheap pasta rings in thin sauce, take it or leave it option.
"Standing there holding up the doorway is the frames job." He added, with his own share of judgement for some newb senshi who evidently had nothing better to do.

"Woodstock brownies?" a brow lifted as Pollux went over, suddenly interested. While he certainly disapproved of junk food, pot brownies- "These might be better served to those dealing with pain or high levels of anxiety." He really didn't care if people wanted to get high on mary jane or whatever, so long as it was with reason. Plus, given that context, the use of supplies to make something that could be of aid? Pollux's view shifted and he gave the flower senshi a nod of semi-approval.
The other senshi, out ranking him or not, was still given a glare. "I have 'put out' as you say. From treating injured, to bringing much needed medical supplies. My intent in coming here was to begin cooking and supply some fifty odd civilians and senshi with much needed wholesome meal that would help them heal and renew their energy."
His hand motioned to the soda and candy. "However, I see that you're rather offer them artificial sugary beverages which can dehydrate, candy that provides zero nutritional value, and if you're so concerned about one easily offended young woman that you'd let her run off apparently on her own only to chide another for not doing so-" The senshi of frost sighed, realizing how unproductive his own actions were.
"My appologies." He said towards the civilains. "I am afraid you are not seeing us senshi at our finest. My name is Sailor Pollux, senshi of frost. If you have need of me, do not hesitate to ask."

Cathleen watched the two bicking senshi's and sighed. She took up two cups of soda and decided to go and look for that girl.
The girl had a kind of sad expression when she heard what was in the brownies. Like she was remembering sad memories. "I hope she is ok."
She went out the door in search of the girl.

"You guys don't know how much I appreciate this."
Another of the senshi had joined them, though he wasn't quite as awesome as Aster and Regulus, and he seemed to have an issue with what they were trying to do.
It was, all in all, fairly reassuring to see that these people fought just like normal people, and he poured himself a glass of root beer while they were arguing.
"I know you're just trying to be helpful," Ian said to Pollux, after he had introduced himself, "but to be honest, it's really nice to see something as normal as brownies and soda. Do you know how disconcerting it is to be eaten by a whale? More than once." He did appreciate what they were doing for them, since it hadn't been the Senshis' choice to be invaded by so many people, but he could deal without the judgments. "Sure, we probably shouldn't be eating a lot of junk food, but a little isn't going to hurt us."
He grinned as charmingly as he could at Pollux. "Right?"

Pollux's lip twitched. Again, a truth which he could not necessarily deny. It was a comfort food. But he didn't have to like it, or approve of it. "Comforting or not, it's damaging in the long run. As for space whales-" He honestly wasn't sure on that. He'd not been informed of the details of that event or encounter. Not yet anyway. "I wouldn't know, having only been to my own world previously. All that had was a giant tentacled thing living under a frozen ocean." It was the truth. Plus he didn't want to find out about space whales. It did not sound pleasant.
Still, the stubborn senshi of frost was just that, stubborn. "It's not the best for you. We still don't know how long you'll be here. Be sure to drink water at least."
Pollux looked at the brownies again. ".........." He might need one or two later on.

"Given the entirety of two bottles of soda I don't think that's gonna be a problem." Regulus pointed out, deciding he was going to make every effort to ignore the kid. If he got much preachier, someone was going to have to hand him a dog collar and a cassock.
"I brought medical supplies but I don't have first aid training, so I made sure it got into the hands of people who do." He added, apparently forgetting his own rule. "Anyway considering the rush job to get everyone out here with supplies and the general lack of information, I think we did pretty well for last minute potluck." He focused his attention a little more now on Ian, who'd made him feel a little less like a dork by backing up his opinion.
"You got eaten -more than once?" He added, curiously. "Good thing it wasn't a space-shark..." He noted, sounding impressed, then added. "No I haven't seen one."
For all he knew there WERE such thing as Space Sharks, so he didn't want to dismiss their existence. Some kind of Youma, he assumed. Not really his area of expertise, being a normally more planet bound Senshi.
