evanstacie:
I love baking! Anyway, I totally get the over-baking thing you had going on. I do that too. But not because I’m stressed, it’s just kind of my job.
Mine too, actually. Happens to be a hobby as well. You work at Delia’s, right? I do too, I’ve seen you in passing on my way out some mornings, but I never get the chance to say hi. I’m Maria.
puckjoey:
How do you accidentally make seven batches of cookies?
Stress-baking. I highly recommend it.
coopander:
I am genuinely wondering how that happened accidentally.
I’m a baker. At work and at home. Want some?
cozymercyj:
If I have one rule, never say no to cookies.
That’s a reasonable rule. Although you don’t want to eat too many and make yourself sick.
cozysantiago:
Accidental? That sounds more like a deliberate plan of attack.
You’ve heard of stress cleaning? I stress bake.

Stevie wasn’t a student but he was no stranger to the community college. College students who couldn’t afford dispensary weed were Stevie’s biggest customers. It just so happened that he could easily blend in on campus. Walking around with a backpack and locking up his bike with the rest of the students helped him sell the bit.
He had just made a sale, his heart racing as it did after every transaction, even as he tried to play it cool. His focus was on making it to the bike rack so he could make the ride back to the trailer park, but as he passed the art wing a splash of color caught his eye as he passed an open door.
Stevie hung in the doorway as he recognized it was one of his coworkers from Delia’s, honestly he had no idea Maria liked to paint. Stevie realized there wasn’t about he he did know about the girl. “Yeah, I actually don’t-” better not open that can or worms. “I know. Sorry, I was walking by and you’re really good at that. I like watching my brother paint sometimes too. It’s really relaxing.”
Stevie felt pricklings of guilt as he made it sound like he was a student, but it beat blurting out the truth.
Maria’s smile softened when she saw it was Stevie. Maria didn’t have a lot of friends, and although she didn’t know him too well, he was a work friend. She was trying to get better at the social thing. One of her professors had warned her that unsociable people had a harder time finding work. Being focused on school was great, being focused on only school apparently wasn’t acceptable.
“ Hey, it’s fine, ” she waved off. “ I thought you were some student who was going to try and steal my painting time, ” she chuckled. “ You can come in if you want, this one’s not special or anything. ” she insisted. “ I’m not super secretive with my art. ”
Art was something Maria was passionate about, but it was a personal passion, not a professional one. Baking was her professional passion, though Stevie already knew that thanks to the cookie debacle the day before.
cozystevie:
Hey, you know you don’t have to bake in bulk off the clock right? I volunteer to be quality control though. Gotta make sure you’re still on your A game!
Some of us have enough sense to get jobs that we already do for free, smarty pants. But, yes, please come over and help with that control issue.
caneanders:
Holy schmoly batman! I love cookies.
Who doesn’t love cookies? They’re seriously the best.
evanstacie:
Capitol punishment made you bake a lot of cookies?
It was stressing me out so I baked. It calms me down exponentially.

OPEN TO; Anyone
Maria often snuck into the art room after her law class. Since she was a student (and a good sweet-talker to professors) she’d been given permission to use the art room at her leisure when there was no classes in session. She’d wanted desperately to take some of the classes, but she didn’t have any room on her schedule. Double-majoring meant she had little wiggle room.
She was painting with acrylics, since oils were giving her grief. She also had country music playing quietly from her phone, paint marks all over her fingers and wrists. She danced around a bit, trying to copy what her brother did, though she wasn’t nearly as fluid. She put a couple extra touches on her piece and spun around. She noticed someone in the doorway and sopped awkwardly.
“ Oh, hi, ” she said. “ Uh- classes are over. ”
Okay, so I accidentally made seven batches of chocolate chip cookies. I blame my capitol punishment paper, though. That was brutal. But yeah, no, I totally need help eating these, any takers?

Character Development
Plans for Development.
Telling her parents she wants to pursue baking and not law or medicine. She’s terrified to admit this and isn’t sure what to do. I’d love to really explore that journey of switching over her plans.
Maria has never dated, often seeing it as something that would distract her from her goals. She recently came out as bisexual in the last year and is curious about dating. She’s not sure how to go about it, but wants to try.
It’d be super awesome to have Maria featured in a local art show. She’s only ever showcased at school and do something professional would be huge for her. She doesn’t want to be an artist but it’d be cool to get her work out there regardless.
Other. none
Character Biography
Maria was the second child to Michael and Julia Chang. Her parents were loving, but strict, and her brother was often the one who encouraged her to follow her dreams. Ever since she was little she loved art. Like most kids she could be found coloring at any hour of the day, but as she grew up crayons simply changed to pencil crayons, then oil paints, than acrylics, than charcoal, and anything else she could keep her hands on.
As a kid she found making friends hard. Maria can be rather opinionated and career/school-driven which meant most didn’t click with her. She often kept close to Mike’s side when she could, since she got along well with him. She’d often accompany him to the dance studio and draw while he practiced. However, since they were never in the same schools after elementary she kept mostly to herself at school.
Her father didn’t overly support her passion, but as long as she kept her grades up and promised on law school or med school her mother was allowed to indulge her. In her teenage years she realized she was bisexual. She stressed for two years before finally coming out at 19. Her parents couldn’t have been more supportive. Saying that who she married wouldn’t matter to them.
She got into a few Ivy League colleges, but chose to stay in Lemon Grove until she went on to grad school. She’s currently double majoring in Medicine and Law, though she wants to do neither. She spend any free time she has out painting landscapes, and works at Delia’s Deli as a baker. She loves her life, and has little to complain about.
She did not want To be wanted ‘Cause she was Clever or kind But because she Was a person; With a heart, With a mind.
