PERIDOT

[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. You can use more than five ingredients if you choose to but only five will be scored. Anything found in the kitchen can be used to help prepare the ingredient! 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!

Extra note: If the instruction says to "prepare it yourself", it basically means there isn't a particular instruction you need to follow.)

Hi, uh, I'm the kitchen helper. I guess enough knights didn't show up so she grabbed me instead.

Re: MINGLE

[dramatispersonae]

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

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

Re: MINGLE

[unionoftheheart]

...awesome.

Re: MINGLE

[silentknight]

So… we should think of a theme?

Re: MINGLE

[unionoftheheart]

Yeah...I have at least some idea of how to go about preparing most things, I think? So we can think of something and then go from there.

Re: MINGLE

[unionoftheheart]

I think it's more like playing with symbols, but yeah.

Re: MINGLE

[threadspinner]

Well, what have you decided? Any cohesive themes?

Re: MINGLE

[unionoftheheart]

Cassie and I worked out a meal that's about ways to protect people...and I was thinking may a dessert about ways to support people?

[THE COOKIES ARE ATHLETICALLY TOSSED]

[THE MEDICINE IS IN THE KIT]

[The candy is hugged!]

[Also hugged! The star actually glows]

[The apples seem to grow slowly but surely . . . but hm. They don't seem to be stopping either.]

Re: PREPARATIONS

[unionoftheheart]

Re: PREPARATIONS

[the yarn is being read some fine literature, at least until Ven breaks down from either giggling or embarrassment]

TURN-IN

Re: TURN-IN

[unionoftheheart]

Meal

We're making a meal about ways to protect people. The five ingredients are...
Boxing gloves: because strength and toughness are important if you want to protect people. Preparation: dishwashing gloves tucked inside them, and sprinkled with the "make you tougher" powder.
Heart-shaped cookies: because strength in your heart is just as important. Preparation: flavor enhanced with the "to help protect" powder.
Gingerbread zebra: because teaching somebody to be stronger Preparation: throwing it around!
Gemstones: because sometimes, to protect people, you need to sort out the good from the bad. Preparation: tasting them all to take out the bad ones.
Medicine bottle: because healing is another way to protect people. Preparation: adding it to the first aid kit.

Dessert

We're making a meal about ways to support people. The five ingredients are...
Teddy bear with star: because cheering people up with cuddles really does work sometimes. Preparation: MOAR CUDDLES :U
Apples: because helping people grow is a way of supporting them. Preparation: "to help grow bigger" powder.
Yarn: because reading to people is another way. Preparation: reading it some fine literature.
Teddy bear with monocle: because helping people fly is a third way. Preparation: tossing bear, wheeee! (And catching carefully.)
Puppy candy: because sometimes showing your love is the best sort of support of all. Preparation: hugging it as best as is possible.

Re: TURN-IN

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

The first changes through the colors orange, blue, yellow, and light pink before out pops a heart shaped, light-green cookie tin! Careful when you open it though, because a giant glove on a spring pops out and tries to sock you in the face (it's made out of a balloon-like material, at least, so any punches from it don't hurt). Beyond that, the box is also filled with multi-colored rock candy which pops and fizzles in your mouth. They also make you smell like cheese.

The second changes through the colors light green, dark orange, and blue before you receive a humongous gummy bear (the size of a bear you win at a carnival) hugging a puppy. Wrapped around it is yarn which tastes like apple.

And then you and your creations end up here]
