Lewis was pretty excited for the new leadership in some of his favorite clubs. This one, however, was one of his favorites, if only because he'd get fed. Though, since the challenge was to tour across Europe, he wanted to make some desserts from Nan's giant cookbook. Thankfully, all of them were able to be prepped the night before, so he didn't have to wake up earlier on the weekend than strictly necessary. As he walked into the club, he heard Adelai comment on changing ingredients in order to remain alive. "We talking allergies? Mine's walnuts. Thankfully not something deadly. They just make my face swell up and I get a rash." He nodded solemnly as he set down a Caramel Apple Meringue Cake from the Faroe Islands, and a nice Ukrainian Kiev Cake. He noticed there were forms to fill out as well, so he quickly jot down his information, all while eyeballing the other food that he couldn't wait to tear into.
Name: Lewis Abrams Year: Sixth Favorite Food: mac & cheese (I've got the best recipe, if you'd like) Allergies: Walnuts

Mea had asked Nain for some good recipes when it came to Welsh cuisine. If anyone would know the good stuff, it was her! And sure enough, she sent him some recipes he could make easy-peasy! He opted for Welsh Rarebit. Nora had also sent a big loaf of homemade bara brith bread too. So when it was time to go to the kitchens (during which Mea only got lost once!), he carried both her food and his. "Hi Miss Alice! I made rarebit! And Nain Nora sent some bara brith. That's tea bread! She said to give it to you, so I think this is what she meant."
As he tried to figure out how to set both trays on the counter, a familiar pair of paint-stained hands lifted both out of his hands. Mea signed a quick thanks by tapping his fingers against his chin, then out. When he noticed there was paperwork now, he looked at the questions, then over to his cousin. Since he didn't want people to think he was dumb, he used his rapid BSL to ask questions, rather than doing so aloud. As he turned, his messy undercut showed enough to make his implants known to anyone that didn't know already. "Hey Lewis, I don't think I have any allergies, right? Or does that also mean food I think is icky?"
Lewis carefully crouched down, making himself a bit closer to his younger cousin's height. "No, little dude, allergies are foods that cause a negative reaction and can make people sick. You can just not eat your icky foods, right?" Once Mea had grinned and nodded, Lewis ruffled the messy brown hair before standing back up. "But you'd better turn that in so Alice has a copy, alright?" Mea nodded, handing the form back to the leader of the group. He was already so hungry just being near the food!
Name: Meallan Heulwen Year: second Favorite Food: mac & cheese or nutella toasties! Allergies: none
Racheal 'Rey' Eir Ross-Heulwen Hufflepuff │ Second Year │ Twelve Years Old │ Single
The tiny redhaired Second Year was having a time of it as she was hauling her contributions to the ‘Tour of Europe’ event Alice was holding today. Rey wanted to show her how much she progressed from what she was able to do last year, and while maybe she wasn’t able to make stuff other than from what she knew of home, at least Ireland would be represented well by her efforts. She was lugging a heavy pot filled with roasted red potatoes and corned beef brisket, as it just seemed appropriate for a fall day, while there was a basket filled with freshly baked Irish brown bread. She also had a freshly made bread pudding in another pot that she managed to have magically floating along with her as she went.
Her plan was to get all the important stuff in place at the party first before rushing off to get the crock of butter and the vanilla ice cream to complete her contribution. Knowing Lewis and Mea were bringing their efforts to the event, Rey didn’t want anyone to think she couldn’t do things in the kitchen too. The little Second Year also was wearing a pretty floral pattern dress, as this was a good excuse not to wear her usual school clothes, and she wanted something for Art Club as well.
“Hi, Miss Alice,” she said, with a grunt of effort as she struggled to get the door open, and get her contributions through the entrance. “I, um, brought roasted red potatoes, corned beef brisket, and made bread for it. Oh, I made bread pudding for a dessert too.” As she got into the club room she saw Alice wasn’t the only one there, as her brother and cousin were unloading their wares, and a bunch of others were present too. ‘Wow, it’s a full house. I hope I made enough for everyone to try.’ Rey’s eyes widened as she spotted a spare bit of clear table, and she carefully picked her way through the room towards it. She didn’t relax until after her heavy load was safely in place. With a sigh, she cracked a small smile of triumph.

Once Ella finished her dish, Alice scooted over to smell in because she'd been curious about what her friend had been working on. She gave her a thumbs up and a wide smile. The door opened and Tàmhas came in carrying several dishes, which caused the blonde to pretend to sigh exasperatedly, but she moved to help him get everything settled down. When he greeted her, he called her 'Henny', which made the blonde quirk an eyebrow. What did he call her? But he said he brought her a gift and she was intrigued. She opened the box to see the set of knives he'd made her and she gasped loudly. "Oh my gosh Tàmhas! They're beautiful! Thank you so much!" she exclaimed and hugged her friend so tight! "Uhm, by the way... what does 'Henny' and 'Henny Penny' mean?"
Following Tàmhas came her cousin Aina, carrying a dish. Alice helped her fill out the card, then they were joined by Kasamir and Hesperia. The blonde was happy to have a new member in Kas and she had already seen the heart eyes dancing between the two of them. Each of them got a greeting before more people arrived. Adelai arrived with two dishes, but before she could move to help him, Tàm got him and helped him get set up. Adi had something else for her, a message from Seb. The blonde huffed and said, "I reminded him to keep his camera in his bag. Oh that boy... Thanks for the message Adi." Alice was in a tizzy of people to greet, she barely got to try any of the food being brought in.
When the door opened again, this time it was Lewis joining them in the club. Alice greeted her friend/Prefect and nodded, making a mental note of his allergy. She didn't really have to because of the note cards, but she always did whenever anyone told her an important piece of information. She indicated that the ecclefechan tart had walnuts, but everything else so far was free. Mea followed his cousin in and he called her 'Miss Alice'. Alice had a flashback to her first year where she called Linsey 'Miss Linsey' and realized how much she'd changed since then. Also Mea had a tea bread from Mrs Nora and Alice thanked him for it. She caught him turning to sign to Lewis, but decided not to try to eavesdrop on their conversation. Which was good because Rey arrived right after him with a bunch of dishes as well. The teen went to help her, feeling a little flutter when Rey called her Miss Alice too.

Well, Alice did say this was a very lively club and Aina could definitely tell that was the case with the amount of people showing up. As it naturally did when there were lots of people, it was starting to get loud. Since Alice and Lewis were here, Ai could turn off her implants if it got too much to bear. That was when she noticed the boy she assumed to be Meallan start to sign to Lewis. She did catch notice of an implant much like hers peeking out of his hair. The girl tucked her hair back behind her ear so her implant was visible as well, then she shuffled off of her chair and walked over to them. To Lewis, she signed, "Hello Lewis, good to see you again." Then she turned to Mea, grey-blue eyes sweeping over him. "Hello, my name is Aina. I'm Alice's cousin." Her signing was faster than she usually did with her cousin since it Meallan and Lewis were better at it than Alice was.

Tàmhas was glad to help as people filed in. There were a lot of dishes and not as many hands. After gifting Alice the knives he'd made for her, she seemed quite glad to receive them. He gave her a tight hug, and was about to respond again when she asked about his nickname choices. "Weel, 'Hen' is a term o' endearment fur wummin. 'Henny', or 'Henny Penny', is fur younger girls. Either wey, tis an affectionate phrase. Ah figured it suited ye weel. If ye dinnae lik' it, ye'll nae hear it again." He'd figured her gender changing meant for a change of pet name too, but if she disliked it, he'd certainly put an end to it. He helped a few other people, a happy grin on his face. Now he just needed to get the herb garden going, and everything would be in swing.

Mea turned to wave at his sister when she walked in, and Lewis was about to jump to her aid, but Alice got their first. Even his long legs couldn't move quickly in this growing crowd. Thankfully the student kitchens were pretty big and had multiple places to cook. Meallan carefully adjusted the volume on his ears, listening to Rey's list of foods. "Wow! I only made one thing! Looks like you're more the chef than me!" He giggled, giving a thumbs up to the redhead.
Green eyes turned back to his cousin, but his hands stopped mid-sign as a girl about his age walked over and greeted Lewis... then him! Oh wow! And she was signing so fast! Either she was from a family who knew or... NO WAY! He reached a hand up, fingertips brushing his implant when he noticed she had similar ones attached. "Hi Aina! It's nice to see you again." Lewis sighed first, gently bumping Mea who'd zoned out a bit in his excitement. "Hi Aina! My name's Meallan. I'm Lewis' cousin. It's nice to meet someone with ears like mine." There was only one other person in school with hearing aides, but Sierra's weren't implants like his. It was so cool and he immediately hoped they could be friends.

Oh man, oh heck, oh dang! Seb wasn't supposed to be running late. Alice had even scheduled his watch early, but he forgot he'd left his camera in the News room after bringing it in to have some summertime film developed. So now, instead of being on time for cooking club, he was behind. Thankfully, on his way he ran into Adelai and was able to pass on a message. He didn't want Alice to think he'd fully forgotten or something! After continuing his jog, he got distracted in news for a minute, messily writing up notes on the big whiteboard of tasks. With his camera in hand, now he just had to get all the way back across the dang school.
Running back, he got almost to the kitchen doors before he remembered he'd also cooked for today! Dang it! With a heavy sigh, he sprinted off to the other kitchen, then he stomped back toward the kitchen. By this time, he was sure the club would be fully done! Goodness gracious. When he got into the room, he was chuffed to see it was still in full swing. "Hey Alice! Sorry I'm late. First I forgot my camera, but then I remembered I made jammy cakes!" He offered the dish of jammie dodgers toward the blonde, then set them on one of the nearby tables. For his, he used strawberry jam, raspberry jam, and orange preserves. Thankfully they all had different colors so they could be told apart. If that failed, he used star cookie cutters for the strawberry cookies, hearts were for raspberry, and circles for the orange ones. Hopefully everyone liked them!
