DiscoDude: Session logging commenced
Ryusui|GM: EXCHANGE 9/10
Ryusui|GM: "ALMOST DONE, GUIDO!" the Rubidium Chef yells, his voice full of static as his excitement builds to the maximum. "TOSS ME THE ANDROMEDA ANDOUILLE!"
Ryusui|GM: (attempting to add [Andromeda Andouille Sausage (Spicy): 4] to the pizza, with the Sous-Bot's help)
Ryusui|GM: !f 5 (Spicy + Sous-Bot)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+5 for 3 [4dF = [-][+][-][-]]
Ryusui|GM: (and i will use my final FATE Point to make it a win)
Vera: (High Concept again?)
Ryusui|GM: (yep)
Ryusui|GM: Channeling his rage at the as-yet unknown cheese thief into his work yet again, he tears up the sausage links into tiny pieces and adds them to the pizza. "I TELL-A YOU, GUIDO, THERE IS NOT A PIZZA I-A CANNOT COOK!"
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: "Margen! Brain storming! I refuse to leave so much of our ingredients uncooked; what opener can we make with all this?"
((O.o.C. equivalent: what would all these ingredient aspects go together to make?))
Margen: (I need to consider for a minute)
Margen: "Mozzarella sticks!"
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Remember: Two exchanges with two chefs allows for main, two sides, and plating, which is just enough to use all four flavors among those aspects.))
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: "You think we can work every last ingredient into those and make it work?"
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Is <@!Vera> going to act while Margen and Tako-San are thinking?))
Vera: (I was waiting to see what you were going to do.)
Margen: (I'm now extremely confused, what are our primary dish aspects, what is secondary? It's kind of indecipherable to me in the document what is what)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((We haven't started on the third dish yet.))
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((D.C., this might take awhile.))
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Don't let us hold you up.))
Vera: (This is strategy, not politeness.)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Thor, first in each line is the main, last is the plating, everything in between is a side.))
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: "It's going to be tricky to make it the main appeal."
Margen: "Stellar Basil and the Good Cheese with a spicy, sour tomato and smoked chili dipping sauce!"
Vera: (The last two sound like one dish aspect.)
Margen: "In the remaining untouched tempura!"
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: "Brilliant! Glad to know I'm not the only genius here!"
Margen: (it's the overall plan)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: "I'll get on the cheese, you work your magic on the sauces."
Margen: "check check"
Margen: (and the sauce would probably be plating?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((You mentioned three sauces, so I assumed to would be sides and one would plate.))
Margen: (the tempura was going to be the outside of the mozzarella sticks in my head)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Right; sorry.))
Margen: (I probably should've mentioned that sooner)
Vera: (So before the breading, you're just starting with... cheese... logs?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((That was my original thinking before Margen mentioned dipping sauce.))
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: !f 3 (creating an Advantage: Stellar Basil Mozzarella Sticks (Cool:10))
DiscoDude: <@;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾> rolled 4dF+3 for 3 [4dF = [ ][ ][ ][ ]]
Margen: (yeah that's how you mozzarella stix)
Vera: (You can't go higher than 8, remember?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Forgot; sorry. Cool:8))
Margen: (you batter and fry string cheese xD)
Margen: (or some other stretchy cheese)
Vera: (Well this is clearly more than string cheese if it's worth 8 before the breading even goes on. XD)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Invoking Milky Way Mozzarella, Stellar Basil, and Through the Fire And the Flames We Carry On.))
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Also: Eclipse.))
Margen: (really smooth string cheese)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((With basil baked in.))
Vera: (Oh snap. Describe your victory, and the popularity aspect you gain with it. Did I get that right, <@!Ryusui|GM>?)
Ryusui|GM: (for an eclipse? heck sure)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: Tako-San manages to turn the basil into a power that he mixes with the cheese before holding it over the fire-wall to melt it all together. This Miracle Mozzarella Master manages to mold them without getting burned, the water stuck to his body as the reach out of the tank acting as a heat buffer.
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: "Margen! Get on the sauces!"
Margen: "on the docket: Sweet and zesty tomato dip, quantum Quasi-Smoked spicy chili flakes to top"
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Hold on for a second.))
Margen: (👍 )
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Margen's best is Savory and second is Cool, the inverse of Tako-San's. They both have Fair (+2) Spicy and Average (+1) Sour, so it doesn't matter which sauce comes first; however, the two tomato aspects and the Pre-Heated Oven will allow Margen to make a sauce at Sour:8, so I suggest trying for that this exchange.))
Vera: (Okay, I think I've seen enough to know I'm not winning the appetizer.)
"Okay. I'm gonna try and finish these wings. Gonna have these Served with White Hole 'Shroom Aioli - BITTER:1. Let's make it quick and dirty." It's the return of the blender; in go the last of the truffles, oil, and a handful of chanterelles.
Vera: !f 3 (BITTER)
DiscoDude: <@Vera> rolled 4dF+3 for 4 [4dF = [-][+][+][ ]]
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((What are you going to put the effort into, then?))
Vera: (Dessert. Doesn't even need that much, with how quickly you and Rubidium both slapped it out.)
Vera: "Aaaaaand there we go. Wings? Boom."
Ryusui|GM: (boom indeed XD)
Ryusui|GM: You could definitely have made it better, Vera, but it comes out nice regardless.
Vera: (Went for the guaranteed plate.)
Margen: (Sour 8 you said?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Yes.))
Vera: "Greto, see if you can make a side for the killer cake. Maybe something that brings out its explosive quality in the right way? I'm thinking Fuse Spark Syrup - SPICY:4? Crud, I just noticed we forgot to use those blue-screen zappers I got for the wings. They were more of an 'electric' spice than a 'hot' spice, anyway."
Margen: Weaving with Gaps in Scents on the Wind, Margen roasts the sour Titanian tomatoes (x2) in the preheated oven (total of +8 I believe)
Vera: (Didn't you already use that stunt?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((I think you did, early.))
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((It was with the pizza sauce.))
Margen: (ohhh right back up earlier. It's 1 per competition not per exchange)
Margen: (The last round I saw there was in reference to the constraint)
Margen: (so +6)
Vera: (Remember, factor in invokes after you roll. I got confused looking at this before I realized you were doing preemptive math.)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Margen has Average (+1) Sour; add that to the Thermo-Tomatoes, Carefully Diced Tomatoes, and Pre-Heated Oven, and it'll be Epic (+7), which will only need further invokes on a zero or less on the dice.))
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((That kind of planning head is still useful to figure out what target you want to aim for.))
Margen: (so which number should I roll against on the fudge dice? 7 or 8?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Make the Sour:8 roll.))
Margen: !f 8 (SOUR)
DiscoDude: <@Margen> rolled 4dF+8 for 7 [4dF = [+][-][ ][-]]
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((N-no. Not that this can't be fixed without a reroll.))
Vera: (UM. The number you put after the command is supposed to be what your bonus is, not the difficulty.)
Margen: (Uhh I did that wrong, it's supposed to be+7)
Vera: (And again, wait until after the roll before invoking. It makes more work for me when editing.)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((That's a Poor (-1) roll with Average (+1) Sour, you just need four invokes to clear the bar.))
Margen: ( that's why I asked above, and somebody said 8. Whups :l )
Margen: (I was hasty)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((8 is the target difficulty.))
Margen: (Ok so I have 3 aspects and a high concept invoke)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Fortunately, the two ingredient invokes, and two preparation invokes meets the target.))
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((No fate points needed.))
Margen: (2 prep invokes?)
Margen: (Ahh the chopping!)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Carefully Diced Tomatoes and Pre-Heated Oven are prep aspects.))
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Thermo-Tomatoes has a double free invoke.))
Margen: (So with the Thermo Tomat x2, the choppening, and the oven that's a success)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Tie, but no cost for tying on dish aspects.))
Margen: Margen pulverizes the tomatoes, creating small dishes of the Zesty Titanian Tomato Salsa to go with the cheese sticks
Ryusui|GM: (is that...everyone? oh wait...Vera, did you want Greto to do something?)
Vera: (Uh... you seem to have neglected to actually name the dish.)
Vera: (Yeah, I can repost it. Not like I can make that much more work for myself later.)
Margen: (D'oh)
Vera: (I'll let Margen finish his business first.)
Margen: (adjusted)
Ryusui|GM: (oh man, sorry, i missed the line)
Vera: (I... I honestly don't blame you.)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Sorry.))
Ryusui|GM: "You overestimate my skill with...peppers," Greto says, tactfully. "Still, I'll do what I can." (His Spicy's a +1, <@!Vera>; you want me to shoot for a Value:2 or 3 instead?)
Ryusui|GM: (oh wait, he's got FATE Points he can invoke, nvm~)
Ryusui|GM: (still, if you want to lowball it to be safe, lemme know)
Vera: (Nah, getting him to spend those is the name of the game. >:D)
Vera: "Don't skimp on it! I'm not gonna lie, that appetizer the tentacle boys are making? I'm starting to get scared."
Ryusui|GM: (attempting to make Fuse Spark Syrup (Spicy): 4)
Ryusui|GM: !f 1 (Spicy)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+1 for 2 [4dF = [ ][+][-][+]]
Ryusui|GM: (invoking the peppers, and throwing in a FATE on the peppers FTW)
Vera: (He only needs the one boost.)
Ryusui|GM: (oh, right)
Vera: (You get away scot-free again, Greto...)
Ryusui|GM: The reduction throws up a cloud of blue steam. He sniffs the pot, as if unsure whether it should quite smell like it does, but he decants the blue, peculiarly fizzy syrup into a small container, ready for you to apply to the cake as you see fit. "Looks about right," he says with a bemused expression. "I hope the judges are impressed by your pairing a pepper sauce with a dessert."
Ryusui|GM: (all right, is that everyone now? are we ready to move on to the final exchange?)
Margen: Margen mumbles something approving about bold choices
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((It's the FINAL COUNTDOWN!!!!))
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: "Don't praise the enemy until after the battle is over."
Ryusui|GM: (what happened to Tako-san's accent? XD)
Margen: (it's there)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((I've said this multiple times already: It's there, I'm just not typing it out.))
Vera: (It's implied now because it got annoying to type and gave Grammarly aneurisms.)
Ryusui|GM: (XD)
Ryusui|GM: FINAL EXCHANGE
Ryusui|GM: (i'm going to have the Rubidium Chef do something a little risky)
Margen: (Och, grammar programmes cannae handle thae Scots English neither)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: "How are you with tempura, Margen?"
Ryusui|GM: "Guido, papa's counting on you!" the Rubidium Chef says, throwing his Sous-Bot the knot of Milky Way Mozzarella. "Make-a me proud!"
Vera: (Not sure if my brain could handle that.)
Ryusui|GM: The Sous-Bot chirps happily, and produces a bevy of knives, preparing to generate a pile of [Finely-Shredded Cheese] to assist with the finished product!
Margen: "batters are a gray area I'm willing to explore" he says confidently
Ryusui|GM: !f 2 (Sous-Bot's Prep Skill)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+2 for -1 [4dF = [-][-][ ][-]]
Ryusui|GM: (SHIT XD)
Ryusui|GM: (yeah i'm gonna take the loss there)
Vera: (Dunno if you can just shrug that off like nothing happened, either. Negative invoke aspect?)
Vera: (Also, isn't Milky Way Mozzarella already shredded?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((That's what I'd say.))
Ryusui|GM: (no, it's like long gooey strings)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((The compel, I mean.))
Ryusui|GM: ([Non-Newtonian Extruded Cheese Product], remember?)
Vera: (... I might not have known what "extruded" meant.)
Ryusui|GM: (would anyone cry foul if I just eliminated the invoke he has on the Milky Way Mozzarella as "punishment" for failure?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: "I'm going to need something better than a 'gray area'."
Vera: (It's just a boost, so... goodbye vital cheese? XD)
Ryusui|GM: (oh, was it a boost? i had it marked down as an aspect with a free invoke)
Ryusui|GM: (well, either way)
Vera: (Second attempt after the theft was a tie.)
Margen: "It's a sauce, it just isn't immediately edible in that form. I can make them, but I don't do it often. If it's savory I'd have a better shot."
Ryusui|GM: The Sous-Bot is way too enthusiastic with its chopping. "No, NO!" The Rubidium Chef attempts to intervene, but it's too late: the Sous-Bot has chopped the Milky Way Mozzarella into a pile of chunks instead of the fine shreds he needs. "Get away! Back off!" This time, he sends the Sous-Bot flying into the flames with his flailing limbs. "I'll-a do it myself!"
Ryusui|GM: (attempting to plate with [Topped with Milky Way Mozzarella (Cool): 1])
Ryusui|GM: !f 2 (Cool)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+2 for 2 [4dF = [+][ ][-][ ]]
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: Tako-San.... Smirks? "As savory as fried chicken! I'll finish the spicy sauce."
Vera: (I guess it still counts from a flavor text standpoint, even if the boost disappeared.)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Not yet, though; plating comes last.))
Margen: (spicy is a topping)
Margen: (actually I don't know)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((I didn't want you to make the tempura plating before the spicy sauce.))
Ryusui|GM: The Rubidium Chef manages to salvage enough cheese to top his pizza with. "Now...it's time for PIZZA JUDGMENT!" The flames of his oven turn a blinding blue, and the entire temperature of the arena - even accounting for the perpetually blazing burners separating the stations - raises by several degrees as pure pizza alchemy takes place within the Rubidium Chef's flaming maw. After a handful of seconds, the completed Cosmic Meat-Lover's Pizza emerges, smelling positively delectable.
Ryusui|GM: "IT'S...FINIIIIIIIIIISHED!!!" the Rubidium Chef cackles.
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: !f 2 (create an advantage: "Fires of Mexico" Dipping Sauce Spicy:8)
DiscoDude: <@;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾> rolled 4dF+2 for 1 [4dF = [ ][ ][ ][-]]
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Invoking Quantum Zesty Chili Flakes and Quasi-Smoked Quantum Zesty Pepper Flakes to bump that up to Epic (+7).))
Vera: (That seems to bring it up to 5, unless you erased an invoke on the ingredient aspect I missed.)
Vera: (Unless you used a Fate point yourself.)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Woops! You're right.))
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((<@!Margen>?))
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: MargenToday at 6:04 PM !f 3 (savory, plus 4 for 2 Deep-frying Batter) DiscoDudeBOTToday at 6:04 PM @Margen rolled 4dF+3 for 3 [4dF = [+][ ][ ][-]]
Margen: (D'oh)
Margen: (wrong fricking channel)
Vera: (Did you describe the dish you were making at all?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((One more invoke and you'll hit the 8 we need.))
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((That, too.))
Margen: (One of what, though? Fate point?)
Margen: (I have one of those, and I think I'm last, so would Grace under Pressure work?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((That'll do just fine.))
Vera: (Me and Greto still have to go, but I'm waiting for you before I go.)
Margen: (it's also the last round) Showing Grace under pressure, Margen deftly dunks the Stellar Cheese Stix Cores into the batter and ports them to the Hot Fryers.
Vera: (Was... Was one of those a dish aspect name, or...?)
Margen: When they're golden, he carefully drains them on a wire rack.
Margen: When they're golden, he carefully drains them on a wire rack.
Margen: (Woohoo no groceries to carry)
Margen: (thanks Discord double post bug :v
Margen: (oh crud give me a sec to sort this out, I dropped a word somehow)
Margen: (there we go)
Vera: (... Is "Hot Fryers" the plating aspect?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((I think D.C. wants you to de-bold the phrase "Hot Fryers".))
Margen: (Hot Fryers was the prep aspect)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((One that doesn't exist, Thor.))
Margen: ...(Oh)
Vera: (Am I going insane-? What is happening?)
Margen: (sigh give me a second)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Not sure.))
Margen: (I thought there were frying stations prepped for this)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Probably thought declaring story details allowed for aspect placement.))
Margen: (you mentioned prep aspect?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((There are, but no one made them aspects.))
Margen: Thor, you're up. Good (+3) Savory, the double invoke on Deep-Frying Batter, and your three fate points means a Savory:8 plating aspect is a shoe-in.
Margen: (what in here is what)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((No where in there does that mention prep aspects.))
Margen: (I thought the batter was a
Oh
OH
Dangit)
Vera: (He literally meant Deep-Frying Batter. Paraphrasing aspects is something you just don't do, man.)
Margen: (I figured it out)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((You used the Deep-Frying Batter's free invokes, which weren't enough, so the simplest solution is to invoke Deep-Frying Batter a third time with one of your fate points.))
Margen: (that I can do, I'm sorry about the confusion I ended up not carrying things but distraction got me anyway)
Vera: (And we still need a name for the plating aspect.)
Margen: (Coronal Tempura)
Vera: (Finally! My turn!)
Margen: (sorry :{)
Vera: (Didn't mean for that to sound aggressive, sorry.)
Margen: (it's all good)
Vera: Vera pulls out her team's pizza, too, and gets started on plating the dessert.
"Okay, pizza's plated - I mean, it's been 'plated;' it just needed to cook for a bit - now I need to have this cake Served with Black Lung Coffee - BITTER:3." She fires up the water heater for the French press!
Vera: !f 3 (BITTER)
DiscoDude: <@Vera> rolled 4dF+3 for 2 [4dF = [ ][ ][ ][-]]
Vera: (A'ight, spending a Fate point on my High Concept. I'm all tapped out.)
Vera: "And there we go; that's all dishes done. Greto, think you can haul ass over to the judges for some schmoozing real quick?"
Ryusui|GM: "Any particular judge you had in mind?"
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Greto seems a lot more subservient this time around.))
Vera: "... Hapax. He seems like the biggest hard-ass to please."
Vera: (The GM doesn't wanna stress too much about controlling more than one character.)
Ryusui|GM: Greto clears his throat, and attempts to cross the flames to the center platform.
Ryusui|GM: !f 2 (Quick)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+2 for 4 [4dF = [+][ ][+][ ]]
Vera: (SWS? I guess that earns a boost.)
Ryusui|GM: (yep XD)
Ryusui|GM: (let's call it -Jack-be-Nimble- XD)
Ryusui|GM: Greto lands from his death-defying jump through the flames, a little winded. Araza claps a little, smiling.
Ryusui|GM: He clears his throat. "Mr. Legomenon," he says, a form of address which earns him a slightly disgruntled grunt from the ex-warlord. "Rather a poor showing from those circus clowns, isn't it? They don't respect the theater of cuisine like you do."
Ryusui|GM: !f 3 (Sneaky)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+3 for 2 [4dF = [ ][+][-][-]]
Ryusui|GM: !f 1
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+1 for 2 [4dF = [ ][+][ ][ ]]
Ryusui|GM: (i'll invoke Greto's "I Play the Gossip" with an FP for the win)
Ryusui|GM: Hapax grunts and rolls his eyes. "They'd both be better served on a dish than making them," he mutters. "Not sure what I make of you two, but at least you're not-" The Rubidium Chef interrupts his rumination with loud, boisterous, prematurely triumphant singing in Italian. "-not that," he says.
Ryusui|GM: (Greto has put the aspect [I Dislike You The Least][!] on Hapax, in your favor, Vera!)
Vera: (And his favorite flavor is- huh?)
Ryusui|GM: (uh.)
Ryusui|GM: (i told you i don't remember how this mechanic works)
Ryusui|GM: (you said it was a Create Advantage roll)
Vera: (First one discovers their favorite flavor, second gets their Dislike.)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Pretty sure those have to be separate from general Create an Advantage actions.))
Ryusui|GM: (my bad, thx)
Ryusui|GM: (yeah i just found it in the book)
Vera: (I thought you were asking how the mechanics worked.)
Ryusui|GM: (sorry to pull a Margen)
Vera: (You... didn't have to say that in public chat. Ouch, man.)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Hey, now.))
Ryusui|GM: (ignore the aspect i just made)
Margen: (it's all good I know I'm literally the benchmark for slow response)
Margen: (:P)
Ryusui|GM: Greto nods in agreement, and Hapax continues. "Not a fan of this challenge. Too many...simple, easy flavors getting thrown around. Where's the challenging stuff, you get me? The stuff that'll make a weakling's tongue curl in their mouth and their stomach turn itself inside out?" He chuckles. (It seems his favorite flavor is Bitter, which your team can invoke once for free!)
Ryusui|GM: (is that everyone, now?)
Vera: (I think so.)
Ryusui|GM: (and do you think we have time for judging, or do you think we should call it for the night?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Yeah; once the buzzer sounds, I'll add the narration for Tako-San.))
Ryusui|GM: TIME'S UP!
Ryusui|GM: The buzzer sounds. "That's it, everyone!" the Chairwoman declares. "Put down your tools; back away from your dishes!"
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: "**** IT! I just finished the sauce!"
Ryusui|GM: The Rubidium Chef is still laughing and singing to himself, dancing on his spindly wheel-tipped legs. One of his mechanical arms is holding a glass of wine. He dumps the entire thing into his mouth, and a gout of flame comes out.
Vera: "How's that thief hunt going, chef?"
Ryusui|GM: "Oh, I'm-a gonna find him," the Rubidium Chef says, his voice processor somehow a little slurred, as if drunk. "And when I do, I'm-a gonna bake him up! I'm-a gonna burn him to a crisp!" He laughs and pours himself another premature victory glass.
Vera: "B'okay. Whenever you uh... get around to that. Happy hunting."
Ryusui|GM: "An exhilarating battle," the Chairwoman says. "I believe my fellow judges share my hunger to experience the results for myself." Araza gives a little cheer; Hapax studies Greto and Vera carefully.
Ryusui|GM: "Next up," Holly says, "the long-awaited judging! But first...another word from our sponsors!"
Ryusui|GM: (any last lines before the "commercial break," <@&627978553669058562>? 😉 )
Margen: "May the best chefs win!"
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: Daisy leans in to whisper to Tako-San, "Are you sure you'll be O.K. with the weird alien robot after you?"
"I'll be fine, Daisy, Darling." Tako-San replies in kind, "Even if they find me, they'll have to burn down the entire studio and everyone in it to catch me."
Vera: (I got nothing.)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: Daisy looks a little concerned.
Ryusui|GM: (then let us...)
