Whatever it was that had been making everyone act so strangely seemed to have worn off, at least a little bit; but in its place, it had left a strange, apathetic depression. Even coffee wasn't helping, and that was saying something. Jordan had found a table in the corner of the cafeteria, and was watching people shuffle in and out with a decidedly grumpy attitude.
You're sulking. Ferros sounded annoyed.
I am not. He knew he was, though, and it irritated him all the more. He usually had more control over himself than this. He almost wished that the bizarre exuberance would come back, just to get rid of this funk. The cafeteria would shut down soon, and then he'd have to either go back to his room or find something to do. Either option sounded like a pain.

Where as Jordan was sulking, Marcus was brooding. In his room, he'd been brooding. Outside, he'd been brooding. And now as he went into the cafeteria he was brooding still. A broody moon hunter. Mostly, he was just upset that there were no more presents to be had. That christmas cheer seemed to be leaving. That decorations would have to come down. It was all very depressing.
Looking around he sighed. Heavily. Nothing was cheerful and Christmas was over and just-Siiiigh. So depressing. What else was depressing? Jordan sitting in a corner sulking. Poor guy looked like he'd had his gifts taken away. Walking over, Marcus flopped into a nearby seat. "Sup Jordan." His body kind of...slumped. "You look kinda upset. But that's okay. Christmas is over and they will have to take decorations down and man-" Dis mentally rolled his non-existent eyes. "Depressing."

"Very depressing," Jordan agreed, and leaned his head on his hand. "I'm only slightly consoled by the fact that the weird mood seems to be hitting everyone, which means that it's probably some artificial influence acting on us. Ugh." He stared moodily into his coffee cup. "Ferros is annoyed with me. I'm annoyed with me. The sooner it wears off the better. Can't tell if it's better or worse than the excitement."

True, but god did it suck. "Dis keeps bitching how I'm sucking all the fun like a funpire, whatever the ******** that is."
You suck fun out of everything, that is what a funpire does.
No I don't.
Then do something other than brood. Sweet jack's bones do something.
Mentally rolling his eyes, Marcus tapping his finger on the table. What do so in here aside from eat and get fat and then have girl friend dump you because you were a fat loser and had nothing going for you and-God this was depressing as ********.
Suddenly...the aroma of cookies filled the air. "You smell that?" Did that small lady bake a new batch? Oh sweet baby jesus they might get him motivated. Or make him fat. Who the ******** cared, the smell was making him hunger. "If those are cookies... Let's get some. They tend to cheer me up." And make him giddy. But best not to say that part.

The cookies did smell good. Rather like the holiday cheer that was slowly seeping away and making everyone cranky and lethargic. Marcus's suggestion sounded like a fantastic idea -- which probably meant that it wasn't, considering his state of mind.
Don't, Ferros grumbled. I'm sick of your mind tasting like Christmas.
I thought you didn't want me sulking? Somehow, Ferros's irritation was the deciding factor. "Sounds good to me," Jordan said, and pushed away the cup with the last remnants of cold coffee in it.

It was a brilliant idea, given the JOY deprived state they were in, (Dis thought it was terrible but, if Marcus stopped brooding then whatever). Oh cookies you were so delicious. Come to him so he might devour you in droves. Getting up, he followed the delicious aroma of baked goods. So close, so tantalizing, so good yet oh so bad. Sort of like half of what they did.
The cookies, still warm, were set on a plate for all to take, so it was with a grin that Marcus, motioned to Jordan. "I am going to grab as many as I can, what about you?"

"Yeah." Jordan snagged another plate from the stack of clean plates on the counter and scooped a pile of cookies onto it. "And now I'm going to go find somewhere where there aren't too many people around, because these things make me talkative." He managed a wry half-smile. "Better than feeling like crap, though."
Ferros grumbled wordlessly, and Jordan got the distinct feeling that the dragon had just pointedly turned his back and was loudly ignoring him.

Following suit, Marcus was piling the plate as full as possible. Somewhere, in the back of his mind, he knew this wasn't good for him or his body but all senses were GO. Shoving on into his mouth he shivered and grinned. So delicious. "Can I join? Cass might want cuddles and I am not up for that. She also might want cookies and I am also not up for that either."

"Sure, feel free. Not up for sharing baked goods, huh?" Jordan started for the door again, casting a curious glance at Marcus over his shoulder. "Cass is your girlfriend, right? What division is she?" He knew her tangentially as one of the Strays, but hadn't actually talked to her.
The east-wing common room would probably be unpopulated at this hour, he figured, and headed towards the dorm hall.

Marcus nodded. He loved Cass but- Cookies! They would fuel him, if only for a while. You couldn't take them from him. Well she could but yeah no. His cookie time. And Jordan's. Even if they wouldn't be sharing "She's Mist and yeah." He grinned, face a bit red, "Girl friend. Actually official now and not like-" his free hand waved in the air. It seemed kind of weird in the fact she was technically underage, while he wasn't, and yet almost nobody gave a damn.
Magic.
Getting back to the dorms was easy, and thankfully no one stopped them or tried to steal their cookies. Marcus would have pretty much fought for them at this point. "So where exactly we chowing down? Dorm or commons?"

"Awesome. Congratulations, or something." The depressive mood meant that Jordan couldn't summon up much enthusiasm for the statement, but he did manage a smile.
"Commons - east wing should be pretty dead this time of day," he answered, and headed that way. His guess had been correct; the room was empty, and he put the plate down carefully on the coffee table before claiming a spot on the couch and snagging a cookie. The effect was like - like a good cup of coffee after a week without, and he sighed blissfully and sank back into the cushions. "Damn. These things are amazing."

Marcus was proud of his status as in a relationship. If it was facebook he'd post cliche blingee pictures. Maybe add a douche hat for emphasis on how pimp he was. Cass had dat a** after all. BUT THAT WAS HIS TO TAP NOT YOUR'S. Dis was giggling like a child at Marcus's inner ramblings, trying to not poke fun of the fact Marcus had gotten only as far as kissing and hand holding.
SCANDALOUS.
"Oh that works." Watching Jordan lounge himself Marcus went over to a chair and promptly sank, then melted as the cookie entered his word hole. delicious. Brain going durdurdur Dis was saying how Marcus needed to do this alone. have his alone time. And to stop being an idiot. That would help.
"They are. Oh oh hey, how was your Christmas presents?" He was still half sunk into the cushions, looking like he spine was broken. "Did you get my gift?"

"Oh, yeah. I've been enjoying the books. Thanks, man." Jordan nodded. "I kinda feel like I should have gotten something else for you too, but I couldn't think of anything. You're gonna have to tell me what you like to read." He lazily pointed a toe at Marcus.
Ferros grumbled something about mind-altering substances. Jordan ignored him pointedly. "Were you at the Christmas party? I heard that things got really crazy," he said aloud.

Marcus nibbled on the edges of a cookie, thinking what kind of book he might like. He- well dang. He was pretty selective in hit literary choices. "Hrmmm." Head rolling to side he paused to wonder why they hadn't grabbed milk. "Worlf histufy." He mumbled out, crumbs falling on his shirt.
Brushing the off he swallowed trying again. "World History. And yeah, the party was weird. Why did the presents attack? I was sad I didn't get any but then it was okay because I found something I hadn't unwrapped that that night." it was like a mini miracle.
"Why? Did you do something really crazy?" He was slowly turning into putty with the JOY from the cookies back in his system. Good times.

"I know just the book then," Jordan said happily, and plucked another cookie off his plate. "Next time I have a chance." Which might be a long time coming yet, but with the cookies delivering a hit of JOY, he couldn't really be depressed about it. No, instead he was looking forward to being able to buy presents again. Sometime at an unspecified future point, but still, presents.
... Attacking presents? That made no sense. He blinked, trying to figure it out. "I wasn't there," he said absentmindedly. "I was studying to be an elf." Which at any other time he wouldn't have admitted, but JOY made it seem so much less absurd than it actually was. "I saw some of the pictures, though," he added. "Crazy."
