EMERALD

[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.)

Re: MINGLE

[twilight_boy]

So, is it just us?

Re: MINGLE

[prosight]

Yeah, I think so.

Hey, Roxas.

Re: MINGLE

[twilight_boy]

Hey. So, I hear you guys got extra details?

Re: MINGLE

[prosight]

We played a guessing game to try to figure out how to prepare the ingredients right. I'm not sure if we got all of them, though.

Re: MINGLE

[twilight_boy]

Well, let me know if I'm about to pick something you have no idea about?

Also, how're you doing, in general?

Re: MINGLE

[prosight]

You got it.

And I'm okay. Thanks for asking. How about you?

Re: MINGLE

[twilight_boy]

Better, I think. Good, if nothing else explodes for a while.

Re: MINGLE

[prosight]

Well, as long as no one gets sick, then I got one of my predictions right. A nice and easy game . . .

Any ideas on what you want to make?

Re: MINGLE

[twilight_boy]

[looking over the ingredients] Well, the drankberries were practically put there as Emerald-bait. How about you? Is there something that looks that kind of right?

Re: MINGLE

[prosight]

That is the weirdest reputation. And do you want to put those in the dessert or dinner? Both?

[checking out the bottles] Heh, found the whiskey, too.

Re: MINGLE

[twilight_boy]

Dessert, probably. We've made pie with them before.

The whiskey can go in the dinner. I heard you could cook savory things with booze, right?

And we're not even as drunk as people think we are. Just...

Re: MINGLE

[prosight]

You don't keep it a secret? Or was it the other members of Emerald who started that?

And you can! I was thinking that it might go good with the meatbuns if I could figure out what else to put with it . . .

Re: MINGLE

[twilight_boy]

Mostly the others, yeah.

[re: meat buns] Those look good!

Also, man, I wonder if there's an ingredient for each of my teammates in here... Whiskey's named for a kind of alcohol. And we have these, for Wing and Viridian [holds up wing-shaped cookies]. Plus the cat cookies, for Natsume. One of the pies, for Stealth ...A lot of dessert stuff.

Can you think of something in here that sounds right for Lightning? You know her best.

Re: MINGLE

[prosight]

Is there anything here for you?

And the question mark, bacon, and pillow are the right color. But the boxing gloves suit her better, or the pocket watch . . .

Re: MINGLE

[twilight_boy]

Let's go with the gloves or watch for her, then.

...Why is thinking of something for myself harder than thinking of stuff for others? Any clue what the question mark water actually is? Or what's in it? Also, we should have something for you.

Re: MINGLE

[prosight]

Wonder which one tastes better.

Pick something you like! I'm going for the strawberry pie. And she wasn't answering any questions about the water, so it might be better to pass on it.

Re: MINGLE

[twilight_boy]

Okay yeeeaaaah. I'll take the question cookie, for me.

Okay, so... strawberry pie, question cookie, alcohol, drankberries - wait those come with other stuff, too. Does that all count as one?

Wing cookie, cat cookie, meat buns, um... watch looks less scary to eat? We can add tea, too. That's nine. Am I missing something?

Re: MINGLE

[prosight]

I don't think so. I mean, we could use it, but . . . Well, it might be better to pass. [c-condoms]

The bacon is green. It might belong to Emerald, too.

Re: MINGLE

[twilight_boy]

[cringes at those] Y-yeah.

The bacon's like Emerald and Citrine had a party.

Re: MINGLE

[prosight]

Well, it wouldn't be a bad party. Bacon's pretty delicious.

TURN-IN

[dramatispersonae]

Re: TURN-IN

[twilight_boy]

Roxas and Serah picked ingredients which represented various people on Emerald, Emerald-y things, plus Serah herself.

Of those, meat buns, bacon, whiskey, tea and pocketwatch went into dinner. A strawberry pie, wing cookie, cat cookie, question mark cookie and drank berries went into dessert.

Serah placed the meat buns under the refrigerator light.

They both told important things to the tea: Roxas that he might be able to go back home, though he'd thought he couldn't, and Serah that she was engaged.

They both sampled the whiskey, bacon, drank berries and cat cookie.

The pie got dropped from the top of the ladder, probably making a mess.

Serah wound the watch, to make it happy.

The curve of the question mark is already bent! That's the nature of question marks.

They poured the dancing powder on the wing cookie. And then everything went in its respective cauldrons.

Re: TURN-IN

[dramatispersonae]

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

The first changes through the colors light pink, light green, orange, light yellow and bright pink before out pops a giant cup of tea with intricate clock patterns drawn around the sides, with meatbuns shaped like pig faces floating inside. The tea tastes like bacon. Hope you like bacon tea.

The second changes through the colors pink, yellow, dark green, light pink and light blue before out pops out a pie with feathers growing out of the top of it. The pie jumps and/or bounces on it's plate every so often. It is filled with mysterious looking berries, and every time you take a bite the flavor changes-- from strawberry, to raspberry, to apple, to chocolate-- well. You get the idea.

You and your creation ends up here]
