[ When you enter the room, you find yourself in a small kitchen! It's fully stocked in terms of hardware, but there's not a single ingredient in sight. There's also a small table with chairs around it, enough for your team. ]

We'll keep this quite simple, dears. You'll be making pies today, but you also have a few decisions to make as well. Will you keep the pies for yourself, share them with others, or give them away? Bear in mind, I will only give you enough ingredients to make 5 pies. If you wish to give away a pie, you must give away the entire pie to only one team. If you wish to share one, there are knives to cut the pies with, but you may only cut the pie into equal parts, four parts at most, and you must keep one part of that pie to yourself.

Please discuss amongst yourselves and decide how many pies you'd like to make, which teams you would like to give or share pies with, if any, and how much pie you will be giving to each team. Yes, I believe that will do.

Oh, and do tell me which sort of pies you wish to make so I can provide you with the proper ingredients, dears. You may make each of your pies a different flavor, if you'd like.

…So, a strategy game. We need to guess if keeping the pies or giving away the pies earn more points.

Re: DISCUSSION

[regrets]

You think there's a strategy...?

Re: DISCUSSION

[wantsfear]

It's a "lesson," right? Like they teach to little kids. I'd guess that being generous would be worth more.

Oh. Huh.

What's going on? Pies?

Re: DISCUSSION

[doubleminded]

Distributing five pies. Sapphire, Kunzite, Turquoise, and Iolite. There's one left; where should it go?

DECISION

To make behind-the-scenes things easier, please use this general format for your answer!

KUNZITE: 1 fig pie
SAPPHIRE: 1 apple pie
IOLITE: 1 grape pie
CORAL: 1 melon pie

PIE-TERMISSION

[dramatispersonae]

[ On the counters of the kitchen appear all the ingredients to make the pies your team has decided to make, along with a piece of paper for each. On the paper is a recipe for each pie! ]

[ ... The second half of each pie's recipe. ]

Re: PIE-TERMISSION

[doubleminded]

[seriously… okay, time for guessing.]

Re: PIE-TERMISSION

[wantsfear]

I don't suppose anyone here knows how to cook . . . ?

Re: PIE-TERMISSION

[regrets]

Maybe we should have done whipped cream pies.

Re: PIE-TERMISSION

[doubleminded]

Whipped cream…?

RESULTS

Turn in a description of the results of your baking efforts here.

[Carnelian + knights tried their hardest. :'(

…The pies are probably edible, at least! But they're hardly culinary masterpieces.]

YOUR PIES

[dramatispersonae]

On the table appears 14 plates, each one colored to match a team with a glass cloche over it. Your team's pie distribution is:

JASPER: ¼ of an apple pie
EMERALD: 1x quarter of drankberry pie
KUNZITE: 1/4 slice of peach pie
IOLITE: 1/4th of cinnamon
SAPPHIRE: 1/4th of a pumpkin pie
HELIODOR: 1 Chocolate pie
CORAL: 1/4 of lemon pie
RUBY: 1/4 of a cotton candy pie
CITRINE: one slice of banana pie, one slice of cherry

Of note, Citrine's pie looks a little questionable, Ruby's pie is a burnt disaster and Coral's pie looks absolutely amazing.

There's also a note on the piece of paper, with neat, cursive writing on it

"You've received these gifts from other teams. Do you accept them all, or are there any you do not feel you should keep? If there is a team's pie you wish to return, you may"

Re: YOUR PIES

[fighting_alena]

What do you think? Keep them all?

Re: YOUR PIES

[regrets]

That's a lot of pie.

Re: YOUR PIES

[wantsfear]

[s-some of these pies . . . .]

So should we keep them? They were gifts, after all.

Re: YOUR PIES

[fighting_alena]

What's drankberry?

And cotton candy?

DECISION

Re: DECISION

[fighting_alena]

We'll keep them all!
