CORAL

[dramatispersonae]

You'll find yourself standing in the middle of a brightly-lit kitchen, wearing aprons in your team colors. If you look around, you'll find the following things.

• A drawer filled with knives, forks, spoons, spatulas, and any other kind of kitchen utensil you can imagine.
  
• A bookshelf.
  
• A cabinet filled with all kinds of dishes and pots.
  
• A cabinet filled with . . . clothing and costume accessories.
  
• A drawer labeled "???".
  
• A refrigerator
  
• A sink. Dishsoap and rubber gloves are provided!
  
• A storage closet containing a 10 foot ladder, hammer, nails, string, a first aid kid, a mop and a bucket.
  
• Flat counters to work on.
  
• A pile of ingredients with instructions.
  
• Two cauldrons, one labeled "meal" and one labeled "dessert".
  

You'll hear the voice of the Baker after you're done taking a look around.

"Today I want you to come up with one meal and one dessert. For each creation, you can use up to five ingredients for each. When picking ingredients, please keep in mind the kind of meal that you would like to make. Do you want to make one that represents your team? One that represents your wishes? One that represents your favorite color? I'll let you decide that on your own, but it is something very important I think."

"For each ingredient that is prepared correctly, you will earn five points. If you only prepare it partially, then you get partial points. If you don't prepare it at all and just toss it in, then no points will be given. The instructions are a bit unclear, but ask your kitchen helper! They might have an answer or two. Once you are done, tap the side of the cauldron and your meal will be ready! As I always say, follow your cravings and do not limit yourselves."

(OOC INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Come up with themes for a meal and dessert (not an automatic loss if you don't but it can add to your chances to win. Assume characters know that ICly).
2. Choose five ingredients for each that fit with those themes. Prepare them using the instructions given here. You can get anywhere from 0-5 points depending on how you prepare them. Anything found in the kitchen can be used. If you're not sure if something would be in there, ping Celi in IRC!
3. Knights and any heroes that participated in the knight round have had the chance to receive clearer instructions.
4. Whenever you are done, turn in the themes you've chosen and which ingredients you used and how you prepared them.
5. Once you turned in your recipe, wait for results before heading to endgame!

Re: MINGLE

[becoming_hope]

Okay, so it really is up to us. That doesn't sound bad.

Re: MINGLE

[blackjacked]

[hff hfffff annoyance :T]

There's a specific way to prepare each thing. She let us ask questions, but she was still stupidly vague with her responses.

Re: MINGLE

[becoming_hope]

I guess we'll deal with that once we get to it. ...Or do you want to pick a theme with edible ingredients in mind?

Re: MINGLE

[blackjacked]

[hffffs] I don't think we should worry about whether its edible or not. Let's just pick things that appeal to us the most.

Re: MINGLE

[becoming_hope]

[nods] Something that says 'Coral'...

Re: MINGLE

[blackjacked]

And something I have an idea on how to prepare.

[points to the bowl of pop rocks and soda]

This, for instance, is easy.

Re: MINGLE

[becoming_hope]

Oh? What do you do with it?

Re: MINGLE

[blackjacked]

Provide excitement, of course~ By pouring the soda into the candy.

Re: MINGLE

[becoming_hope]

Oh! Will it make popping noises?

Re: MINGLE

[blackjacked]

It should. We should definitely use these for our dessert.

Re: MINGLE

[becoming_hope]

Sounds good! And with a start like that, our theme could be light, fun things.

Re: MINGLE

[blackjacked]

[grins]

I like that idea. You wanna pick out some other ingredients while I take a look around?

Re: MINGLE

[becoming_hope]

Sure!

Re: MINGLE

[blackjacked]

[nods] All right. I'll help you figure out how to prepare 'em when you have them picked out.

[IN THE MEANTIME opening the ??? drawer]

Re: MINGLE

[dramatispersonae]

There are nine potion bottles with plain white powder in each.

One is labeled "To make you taller".
One is labeled "To make you sneaky".
One is labeled "To help you read".
One is labeled "To help you dance".
One is labeled "For lack of hair growth".
One is labeled "For an abundance of hair growth".
One is labeled "To make you bigger".
One is labeled "To make you tougher".
One is labeled "To help protect".

Re: MINGLE

[becoming_hope]

Okay, I have some...

[looking over shoulder] What are those?

Re: MINGLE

[blackjacked]

[grins, pulling out the bottled labeled "to make you taller"]

I think we're supposed to use these to help us prepare some of the ingredients. The witch said we'd be given an item for some of 'em.

Re: MINGLE

[becoming_hope]

That should make it easier. Okay, what do you think about the puppy candies, gems, gingerbread zebra, glitter, heart cookies, riddle book and one of the teddy bears?

Re: MINGLE

[blackjacked]

Plus the pop rocks and soda? That's eight ingredients. Do we wanna pick two more?

Re: MINGLE

[becoming_hope]

Sounds good! And it's your turn to pick.

TURN-IN

Re: TURN-IN

[blackjacked]

[KIT AND MADOKA HAVE DECIDED ON A "LIGHT AND FUN" THEME. As such, everything they picked out had some kind of "light" or "fun" aspect to it. THEY HAVE ALSO DONE THE FOLLOWING THINGS TO PREPARE THEIR INGREDIENTS.

For dinner, they did:

gems -- licked them all, removing the bad tasting ones from the good tasting ones and only tossing the good ones into the cauldron
glitter -- told it a secret ("Pssst, just so you know, I'm an internationally wanted thief named Kaitou Kid~") and then dumped it into the cauldron
riddle book -- read and solved a few riddles aloud before tossing the book into the cauldron
empty bottle -- sprinkle "to make you taller" powder on it, effectively. . . giving it bunny ears. both bottle and ears went into said cauldron
pizza -- Asked if they could use it for dinner, said "please" and "thank you" even when it didn't respond. into the cauldron it went

For dessert, they did:

Pop rocks and soda -- poured the soda into the bowl of pop rocks, let them fizz a bit, then dumped them in the cauldron
puppy candies -- hugged them and told them they were good doggies before tossing them in
heart cookies -- sprinkled powder on them from the "to make you tougher" bottle, which effectively covered them in diamonds, and threw the cookies + diamonds into the cauldron
gingerbread zebra -- tossed it around for a while, making sure it never hit the ground, then threw it in the cauldron
blue teddy bear -- also tossed it around, but from on top of the ladder so it was higher up, like it was flying. also made sure it ever hit the ground before it went into the cauldron

Cooking at its finest, ladies and gentlemen

. . . also our cardboard fish was left near the sink. :'( Poor fish.]

Re: TURN-IN

[dramatispersonae]

[There is suddenly colorful smoke coming out of both cauldrons.

The first changes through the colors dark orange, light blue, yellow, bright pink and dark red.

For dinner, you get a bottle filled with something sparkling. Seriously it's like it was filled with water that was mixed in with glitter. If you listen to it, it sounds kind of fizzy. Carbonated perhaps . . . ?

It tastes like pizza.

The second goes through poofs of smoke colored bright pink, blue, yellow and dark orange.

For dessert you get a HUGE heart-shaped box that is zebra striped. Inside, you'll find all sorts of lollipops and sprinkle cookies and anything bright and colorful, as if they were made for a kid. But make sure to hold onto it or it will start floating away....

And then you and your creations end up here]
