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!

We could throw them back and forth, so they don't fall on the ground.

Good idea. No one wants to crash when they're flying, after all.

We'd have to stand pretty close, for the zebra, since it's harder to catch. Let's start with the teddy bear.

All right. We can start once we figure out what to do with the others.

[now turning his attention to the "dinner" pile]

The witch said the easy way to tell which gemstones were bad was to lick them. The bad ones would taste differently than the good ones.

She didn't say this about the glitter specifically, but she did say some items wanted to be told important things about ourselves. Things like secrets. So we could do that with the glitter.

The riddle book wants to be useful, and the Persona said reading from it would work. So we could solve some riddles from it before tossing it into the cauldron.

The bottle needs to be made taller, and we can use the tall powder for that one.

And finally, the Persona said saying please and thank you to the pizza would be minding our manners around it. So we should probably ask it if we can use it to cook before we toss it into the cauldron.

That sounds easy enough. I guess we should start licking the gems.

[picks two up, handing one to her and keeping one for himself]

Here goes nothing?

[. . . licks '-']

[tastes like gingerbread!]

[licks hers]

[THAT one tastes awful. It was as if something had been burnt to a crisp.]

Bluuuuuuuh! [sticks out her tongue]

[placing his aside]

-- tastes bad?

So, so bad! Let's not use that one!

At least we definitely know how to tell the differences now.

[I GUESS WE ARE LICKING AND SEPARATING ALL OF THESE GEMSTONES, THEN]

[Sure are!]

[you have successfully split the diamonds!]

[HURRAH]

[handing Madoka the "to make you taller" bottle of powder]

You wanna sprinkle this on the bottle while I sprinkle some tough powder on the cookies?

Yep! [doing that]

[sprinkling tough powder on the heart-shaped cookies aaaw yes]

[it is now covered in *~*~diamonds~*~*]

Edited 2012-09-05 00:53 (UTC)

Wow, that was cool!

[whoa. . .]

I guess that counts as making something tougher.

[and what of the taller powder Madoka sprinkled on the bottle?]

[it now has bunny ears!]

[giggles and pets the ears]

[. . . lol]

Someone has a weird sense of humor.

Should we talk to the pizza next?

[nods] Hello, pizza-san? It's really good to meet you! Would you mind if we used you as part of our dinner?
