[The room itself is simple. A small table made out of crackers (chairs as well) and an empty pitcher with empty glasses. There are windows, a small light fixture above to illuminate the room, and the walls themselves are gingerbread. You can then hear the Baker's voice vibrating in the room. A low, quiet voice, old and tired, straining to get words across.]

I remembered something though I'm not sure what I've remembered. Whose story is this? I've forgotten a lot of things, but if I was able to remember this, surely it's important . . . :

There once was a baker who spent all of her days baking bread. It was neither good nor bad, but it would fill the stomachs of those who were hungry. She, herself, was a poor woman and earned very little. Of course, you cannot earn very much when you give almost everything away. However, she remembers being hungry, and she did not wish the same fate on anyone else.

Two little children in particular were fond of visiting the bakery . . .

[There's a pause and you can hear a soft "oh!" before the Baker speaks up again.]

I was in the middle of providing for all of you, weren't I? Provide, provide . . . ah yes, let me give you all a menu.

[And then a menu poofs onto the table with a puff of smoke. If you cannot read it for whatever reason, you can hear a voice reading you the menu as you need it.]

[Umm...]

...What should we go with, then?

Re: Discussion

[shipwithwings]

Let us get something like a 5 to start, to know how to pace ourselves later.

MAGIC #5

Re: Results

[dramatispersonae]

You have received a piece of cake with the label "Magic - 5 pts. Floating." Once you eat this, you will suddenly have trouble standing on the ground. In fact, you'll be floating away with only the ceiling stopping you from floating into aather space (does aather have space?). Light as a feather...

--

You will find a bowl of stones suddenly sitting on the table, labeled "PIECES - 10PTS from Jasper". Some are smooth, some are jagged, but all are white. There are enough pieces for everyone to have at least one. You can swallow them without injury, but it won't be pleasant.

Would someone like to float? I can eat the rocks.

Well, that five point one's pretty good! But stones, huh...?

[You have received a jar that seems to be filled with liquid fire. You can tell that it is not literal fire but from holding the jar, you can tell it is still hot.

If it goes down, it will feel like your throat is burning and the burning will linger in your stomach afterwards. No physical burns however.]

You will find a bowl of small tarts labeled "Magic 10pts from Jasper". However, they look old, moldy and burnt. You have a feeling that the magic will not be far from this.

The Baker’s voice sounds a little confused:

“Is this correct . . . ?”

You have received whitebait and twizzlers from Peridot. There's nothing special about them. It's just...white bait and twizzlers.
