DG's booth was bustling.
From tearful dreamers lingering just outside the perimeter to the fortunate souls already roaming the inner facility, everyone seemed busy, distracted, and utterly absorbed by something important. There were people counting tickets, people arguing with machines, people staring longingly at glass displays, and people who looked like they had not blinked in several minutes for fear of missing anything.
And then they heard it.
A clear, melodious tone cut cleanly through the noise and chatter, and the announcement that followed spread throughout DG's booth, bringing everything to a sudden halt.
"May we have your attention, please. The cooking class is scheduled to begin in twenty minutes. Registered participants should proceed to the venue ten minutes before the start time."
"!!!"
For a single breath, there was silence.
And then organized chaos.
