DiscoDude: ---BEGIN SESSION---
DiscoDude: Session logging commenced
GM: Things are beginning to wind down as the end of the day approaches, and one Ziziphus 7 has deigned to visit the lounge. A few contestants who are fans have been hounding him for a bit, but now he finally has some time alone; he uses it to head into the kitchen for a quick bite.
Ratatoskr: Ratatoskr, yet again, is found on the kitchen concocting food for their own eating pleasure, he does notice Ziziphus 7 and smirks, knowing that he might once again get some interesting information out of a kitchen.
GM: Meanwhile, there's a little Helio-Bat holding the tiniest camera with a quivering hand, wondering how to approach what is apparently a galactic superstar. Ziziphus is busy piling up a haphazard sandwich tower, meanwhile.
GM: (It's up to you to make the approach, <@!Ratatoskr>.)
Ratatoskr: Huh, would you look at that, the lil bat wants a photo... Perhaps, he can help, perhaps. Ratatoskr decides to approach Ziziphus with a polite bow.
"Why, My eyes must be deceiving me, the great Ziziphus 7 eating a mere sandwich?" He tries to act surprised...but most importantly, he tries to make him face the Helio-Bat, even if indirectly, so she can get a photo.
GM: (I never stated that Mimi was within sight of either of you, but okay.)
GM: (I seriously need to get better at establishing stuff you know but your characters don't. Anyway...)
GM: "Hm? Oh yes, I do rarely get a chance to actually eat. Busy schedule, don't technically need to eat, etcetera. You know how it is~"
Ratatoskr: "Then why not make this occasion special? I am willing to cook my own version of a Sandwich!" Ratatoskr shows his little cooking space, he was mangling some space chicken just a moment ago.
GM: "Ooh, sounds tasty. What's the catch?" You barely notice him move around to your other side, in spite of his metal joints and chassis.
Ratatoskr: "Catch? What Catch? I only want to have some conversation as I work my magic, that isn't much to ask, right? Perhaps even a photo!" Ratatoskr winks, a mischievous kind of wink.
GM: (Hm... An interesting idea for a Challenge has formed.)
GM: (Alright, so I'm going to give you three exchanges to make and plate a sandwich. Ziziphus will lose interest if you take longer.)
GM: (That sound good?)
Ratatoskr: (HO BOY, My body is READY!)
GM: "Welllll alright, but make it quick. My visit can't go on forever~"
Ratatoskr: "I shall not disappoint!" AND THUS, A MINI COOK-OFF BEGINS!
GM: (Round 1/3. You have little time to really get something done.)
Ratatoskr: To start, Ratatoskr begins putting actual effort into cutting the chicken, grazing it with an non-standard amount of spices. His objective to prepare some [Spiced-up Chicken Filling - Spicy][Value: 3] and get more time to prepare the bread itself!
GM: (Alright, roll Spicy vs. Good (+3) difficulty.)
GM: (Aim to tie. This is a thing I have learned.)
GM: (<@!Ratatoskr>?)
Ratatoskr: !f 3
DiscoDude: <@Ratatoskr> rolled 4dF+3 for 5 [4dF = [+][+][ ][ ]]
Ratatoskr: (bingo?)
GM: (Yup.)
GM: Mimi is still trying to work up the courage to enter the room, meanwhile.
GM: (Exchange 2/3)
GM: (What will you do for it? Make a side? A prep? Discovering a favorite flavor? Helping a little bat out? The possibilities are endless.)
Ratatoskr: (I shall actually make a aspect to help myself make the bread, because my Savory is only 1)
GM: (Describe what he's doing, and I'll decide what you need to roll.)
GM: (What's <@!Ratatoskr> doing?)
Ratatoskr: Ratatoskr has the chicken in the bag like a winner, Now he starts...gathering seeds! In fact he seems to be preparing some flour as well, if it was anyone's guess, he seems to be making not just any kind of bread but... a [Black Bread Preparation Mix! - Savory]
GM: (Hm, that's some direct cooking. With no obvious reality approaches, I'm tempted to have you roll Savory or Cool. Since you're restricting the flavor of the aspect, I'll reduce the difficulty to Mediocre (+0).)
GM: (Got any rebuttal?)
Ratatoskr: (HHmm, I see, I can definitely roll cool.)
Ratatoskr: ((shall I?))
GM: (Do it.)
Ratatoskr: !f 2
DiscoDude: <@Ratatoskr> rolled 4dF+2 for 1 [4dF = [+][ ][-][-]]
GM: (That's a normal success!)
Ratatoskr: (nice!)
GM: (And now it's the third exchange. Boy how they fly when you're alone.)
Ratatoskr: (Even when you have the slowest slug guy on the universe...)
Ratatoskr: FINALLY, Ratatoskr grabs the mixture he crafted and begins cooking it and forming it into [True Rye Black Bread! - Savory][Value: 3], what follows are his traditionally thing cuts of bread, trying to get the most bread for as many sandwiches as possible!
GM: (Roll Savory vs. Good (+3) difficulty.)
Ratatoskr: !f 1 (god please be on my side)
DiscoDude: <@Ratatoskr> rolled 4dF+1 for 2 [4dF = [ ][+][ ][ ]]
Ratatoskr: (GOD IS NOT DEAD AND I HAVE SEEN IT.)
Ratatoskr: (WITH THE BOOST FROM THE MIX I PULL IT OFF)
GM: And it's plated! You have successfully completed... a sandwich!
"And what do you call this?"
Ratatoskr: "...It is done." Ratatoskr shows the sandwiches...he doesn't say what they are actually named, though. "..." He is way too tense, he felt really close to screwing it up big time....
GM: "Is... Is that its name? 'It Is Done?'"
Ratatoskr: "..." Ratatoskr gives a 'what' look to Ziziphus. "uh..." He doesn't know what to name the sandwiches himself... he looks around the room, trying to find anything to name it quickly.
GM: Mimi is steeling up the will to head in. She's gonna do it!
Ratatoskr: Ratatoskr meanwhile is panicking over a freaking name issue.
GM: Mimi is... walking across the floor!
Ratatoskr: Ratatoskr is sweating bullets and avoiding Ziziphus' gaze.
GM: (Are you asking me outright what to name your dish?)
Ratatoskr: (I'm just waiting for Mimi to take a photo...)
GM: She's... climbing... so adorably up and onto a counter!
Ratatoskr: Winner Winner Chicken Dinne- No, that's for little kids! Chicken Saindavic- whatever that means!! Ratatoskr keeps going through ideas quickly...
GM: click! Mimi emits a surprised peep! at the sounds of her own device.
Ratatoskr: Ratatoskr turns to Mimi just in time to see the flash OW HIS EYES! He is left blinded for a few moments...but...Right! "The Helio-Flash Special!" He says in a flash of inspiration.
GM: "Well alright then~" Ziziphus picks one up and takes a bite, making sure to hold his neckerchief under the messy-looking thing.
GM: THE HELIO-FLASH SPECIAL
Spiced-up Chicken Filling - Spicy (Value:3)
On True Rye Black Bread - Savory (Value:3)
GM: Z7: "Most breads are a bit bland to me, but this one looks fairly rich!"
GM: FINAL SCORE: 7
GM: Ziziphus's expectations are...
GM: !f 3 (Sneaky)
DiscoDude: <@GM> rolled 4dF+3 for 2 [4dF = [-][-][+][ ]]
GM: (Beat his expectations by at least 5. I'd say that's a Success With Style!)
Ratatoskr: (HOW)
GM: He makes a show of savoring it and going "Oh, mmmmmmm-" content in having teased out a meal from a chef, but then he stops. "O-oh! Mmm! This is...!"
GM: (How what?)
Ratatoskr: Ratatoskr waits expectantly for Ziziphus 7's response...He even gives a small thumbs-up to Mimi.
(How was that a SwS by five?! XD)
GM: (I ruled that since he was unlikely to beat out the score of a remotely competent dish (making a normal success very likely), you'd need to beat it by 5 for a SWS instead of 3.)
Ratatoskr: (I..I see.)
GM: "This is... magnificent! Truly marvelous!" He finishes quickly, sticking his messy fingers in his mouth. There's a whirling sound each time, and that digit comes out literally polished.
GM: "Mmm... So!" Ziziphus puts his hand down on the counter and leans in conspiratorially. "What was this really about?"
Ratatoskr: "Ah...Well..." He looks at Mimi, then looks back to Ziziphus. "We want information, Yes, we want info!"
GM: "We?"
Ratatoskr: Ratatoskr points at his two heads. "Yes, we! "
GM: "I see. Please define info~"
Meanwhile, Mimi has her photo, and is now looking back and forth between the two figures, unsure of what to do.
Ratatoskr: "Well, we want to know more...about the next episode! " Ratatoskr points and strikes a pose out of a manga's serious moment, the kind that would be the last page of the issue.
GM: "Bold of you to assume~ If I were to know something, about, say..." He reaches for another sandwich slice behind him, pawing around the counter, getting dangerously close to accidentally manhandling a teeny weeny bat.
GM: (Will Ratatoskr try to say anything?)
GM: (Or will he leave it be?)
Ratatoskr: "Oh, But wouldn't it be strange if you didn't know anything? You are part of the judge crew after all~!" Ratatoskr actually picks a sandwich up, the audacity!
GM: (Is that meant to redirect his hand?)
Ratatoskr: (No?)
GM: (Alright then, it'll just be between Mimi and Ziziphus.)
GM: !f 1 (Z7 Quick)
DiscoDude: <@GM> rolled 4dF+1 for 2 [4dF = [-][ ][+][+]]
GM: !f 3 (Mimi Quick)
DiscoDude: <@GM> rolled 4dF+3 for 1 [4dF = [-][ ][-][ ]]
GM: "Eep!" Ziziphus ends up grabbing her by accident, before quickly letting go.
"Ah! Didn't realize we had a third party present~" That tone says otherwise.
GM: "I'msorryI'msorryI-I'ms-sorryyyyy!!!" Mimi is out of there like a bat out of hell.
GM: "Huh. Well that was a thing."
Ratatoskr: "Ah, it is fine, I bet she already had whatever she needed!" He takes a bite out of his sandwich- huh, this is pretty good!
GM: "I hope she does~ Now, what were we talking about? The food trucks being outfitted out in the Hawa II belt? Oops-" He covers his mouth with one hand. "Did I just say that out loud~? Oh." He moves that out to his cheek. "Oh no." Not once does he sound like he's actually ashamed of himself.
Ratatoskr: Ratatoskr has a smile from cheek to cheek."Aha, I see, I see, quite a blunder, don't you think? IT would be very bad if people who shouldn't have heard that...well, heard that!" That came solely from the right head, the crazy one
GM: "Indeed it would, if it happened, which it didn't, so there's no reason to discuss it, silly~"
GM: He's playfully elbowing you at this point.
Ratatoskr: "HA HA HA, Now I can get behind that! How about I try my hand at sandwiches some other time?!" He boasts, another meeting is pretty unlikely to happen, but it did net him some experience points.
GM: "Officially; fat chance! Unofficially... Well~?" He claps his hands and pivots off graciously.
GM: (Name the aspect you created.)
Ratatoskr: [Chicken Information] ?
GM: (I was assuming something about having intel for the episode.)
Ratatoskr: (OH)
GM: (Well?)
Ratatoskr: (:...i tried to come up with a name but it seems im blank today)
GM: (How about something more generalized; does Episode 5 Intel [!!] sound good to you?)
Ratatoskr: (It sure does )
GM: (Alright. Got last lines?)
Ratatoskr: ( none, i think im a bit tired)
GM: (Alright, then let us...)
GM: !end
