DiscoDude: ---BEGIN SESSION---
DiscoDude: Session logging commenced
Ryusui|GM: The Flerovium Chef practically twirls as he launches into action, aiming to sever a perfect specimen of Killer Eggplant from its stem!
Ryusui|GM: !f 3 (Clever)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+3 for 5 [4dF = [ ][+][+][ ]]
Ryusui|GM: !f 2 (Killer Eggplant)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+2 for 5 [4dF = [+][+][+][ ]]
Vera: (Very... CLEVER of him?)
Ryusui|GM: (oops, i meant Flashy)
Ryusui|GM: (his Clever's +4, his Flashy is +3, that's what I rolled)
Vera: (Got it.)
Vera: (I believe you describe yourself gaining a boost, unless you want to invoke?)
Ryusui|GM: (well then. it might be a bit early but i'm gonna go ahead and invoke, so he can keep his momentum)
Ryusui|GM: The savagely snapping violet vegetables attempt to sink their teeth into his glossy green skin, but he all but skates by the vine, deftly snagging a single [Killer Eggplant][!] with the aid of a precise snip from a tiny pair of pruning shears!
Vera: (BITTER, right?)
Ryusui|GM: (right, thx)
Margen: (Awesome added alliterative appeal there 👍)
Vera: Vera saunters up to the nuclear grapefruits.
"I heard you can get them to cool it with the radioactivity for a bit if you press 'em just right... How'd it go, again?"
(Getting some SOUR fruits with my CLEVER approach.)
Vera: (... Unless I've once again misinterpreted what I remember of you describing them.)
Ryusui|GM: (they're Atomic Grapefruit but that'll do just fine XD)
Vera: !f 3 (CLEVER)
DiscoDude: <@Vera> rolled 4dF+3 for 2 [4dF = [+][-][-][ ]]
Ryusui|GM: !f 2
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+2 for -2 [4dF = [-][-][-][-]]
Ryusui|GM: (BANG)
Ryusui|GM: (SWS)
Vera: (HA'-TCHA-CHA!)
Ryusui|GM: One of them tries to incinerate your retinas with a well-aimed blast of pure citrus energy, but the technique you picked up works like a charm. It doesn't resist as you harvest it.
Vera: Quite possibly the slowest and jerkiest pressure-point flurry ever, but it works; she has a Atomic Grapefruit [!!] (SOUR).
Vera: (... Anyone else?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Cool, Sour, and Bitter, right?))
Ryusui|GM: (right, and you already have one of the Bitter ones)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: (( I thought I said Cool.))
Vera: ^
Ryusui|GM: (OH! it was the Vampire Zucchini, then)
Ryusui|GM: (my bad)
Ryusui|GM: ( <@!Vera> you have him down for a Vampire Zucchini, right?)
Vera: (Yeah.)
Ryusui|GM: (thank you ^_^; )
Vera: (Wait, do you not have the doc open?)
Ryusui|GM: (i do, i just couldn't find it)
Margen: Margen will Carefully attempt to coax a (Cool) Vampire Zucchini off the vine with a small amount of blood and a stab-resistant sack
Ryusui|GM: (roll!)
Margen: !f 3 (careful)
DiscoDude: <@Margen> rolled 4dF+3 for 2 [4dF = [ ][ ][ ][-]]
Ryusui|GM: !f 2 (resistance)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+2 for 0 [4dF = [ ][-][ ][-]]
Ryusui|GM: (SUCCESS)
Margen: (had to find the number)
"Yess!"
Ryusui|GM: The vicious little cuke hisses with hunger as it approaches your bait. The rest is just quick fingers and a single decisive slice.
Margen: Margen wraps the bag around the Zucchini as it strikes the napkin inside soaked in synthoblood, and thoughtfully clips the stem
Ryusui|GM: ( <@!;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾>, don't forget you still need to make your move for the turn - the zucchini was a freebie)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((I know.))
Vera: (Meanwhile; Dovelia.)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((I'm finding my ability to focus one on task at a time diminished, so I'll be a bit distracted this session.))
Ryusui|GM: Dovelia elbows Vera aside as she makes for the Atomic Grapefruit. No finesse here - her intention is to tank the grapefruits' death rays with her cyborg arm.
Ryusui|GM: !f 3 (Aggressive)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+3 for 5 [4dF = [+][+][+][-]]
Ryusui|GM: !f 2 (resist)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+2 for -1 [4dF = [-][-][ ][-]]
Ryusui|GM: Dovelia grins maniacally as her hand begins to glow red under the Atomic Grapefruits' assault. Triumphantly, like ripping the heart out of her enemy, she yanks one of them straight off the vine.
Vera: "Weird flex, but okay."
Ryusui|GM: ( <@!;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾>?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: "Let's-a go!" Rachelle chirps in her best (but still awful) attempt at an Italian accent before taking off with Tako-San to grab some fruit from trio of piranha plants.
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: !f 3 (Flashily Create an Advantage against Fair (+2) opposition for Killer Eggplant)
DiscoDude: <@;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾> rolled 4dF+3 for 3 [4dF = [-][ ][+][ ]]
Vera: (She sad she didn't go up for Battle Pizza? XD)
Ryusui|GM: !f 2
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+2 for 0 [4dF = [ ][-][-][ ]]
Ryusui|GM: (and an SWS!)
Vera: (By Piranha Plants, you meant the eggplants?)
Ryusui|GM: The little bastards are bitey. How are you and Rachelle gonna deal with 'em?
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: Rachelle just rushes past with an outstretched arm, practically clotheslining the fruit from the vine before passing it to Tako-San who nearly falls out of their tank reaching in the opposite direction to catch it. The lack of momentum loss during the entire run puts them juuuust outside the plant's reach the moment it's verdant jaws snap shut.
Ryusui|GM: EXCHANGE 2/15
Ryusui|GM: The Flerovium Chef is like a whirlwind of blades as he moves to his next target, deftly deflecting the deadly rays of the Atomic Grapefruit as he closes in for the kill harvest.
Ryusui|GM: !f 3 (Flashy)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+3 for 5 [4dF = [+][+][-][+]]
Ryusui|GM: !f 2 (resist)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+2 for 2 [4dF = [-][+][+][-]]
Ryusui|GM: The Flerovium Chef grins as he holds up a knife at just the right angle to bounce one of the beams right back at the grapefruit that fired it. Microwaved from within in an instant, it explodes with enough force to stun the nearby fruit long enough for him to harvest one without any trouble.
Vera: "Whoa, neat."
Margen: Margen is simultaneously impressed and horrified
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: "Yeesh!" Tako-San and Rachelle say in unison.
Vera: Vera heads over to the Zucchini next.
"We've got these little shtters back home, actually. I think some geneticist was trying to make a political point about the monarchy or something? The monarchy made him mega-dead for it whether it was intentional or not, but whatever. Point is, their stalk only has so much give, so..." She makes a finger-frame to gage the nearest one's range, and steps to right before where she thinks it can leap before garroting itself.
Vera: "Yo. Yummy btch here." She starts clapping.
Vera: !f 3 (CLEVER)
DiscoDude: <@Vera> rolled 4dF+3 for -1 [4dF = [-][-][-][-]]
Vera: (Well shit.)
Vera: (<@!Ryusui|GM>, are you going to roll for the zucchini?)
Ryusui|GM: !f 2 (resist)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+2 for -1 [4dF = [-][ ][-][-]]
Ryusui|GM: (holy cow. XD)
Ryusui|GM: (you gonna boost?)
Vera: (... I'm going to keep the tie. Eclipse means Popularity Aspect, right?)
Ryusui|GM: (yes)
Vera: "SKREEEEEEEE-G-" Like she predicted, the *Vampire Zucchini* (COOL) is stopped short... except the vine breaks. The momentum carries it onto Vera's head, where it nibbles ineffectually as the last of its strength drains away while Vera patiently waits for it to die. Had she an once less self-control, she probably would have been freaking out in an ungraceful manner. But she didn't, showing off Nerves of Nonplussed Steel [!].
Ryusui|GM: Most of the zucchini were smart enough not to fall for your snare; the one that went for you is a runt. Full of flavor, to be sure, but only enough to be useful for a single dish.
Vera: (Just imagining Vera standing there, stock-still with a Vampire Zucchini trying to hold onto her head by its teeth with an expression that reads "ayup, this is happening now, I guess." XD)
Ryusui|GM: Meanwhile, Dovelia continues her attack, switching targets to the eggplant. She extends her mechanical arm, fully intending to use it once again as a shield.
Ryusui|GM: !f 3 (Aggressive)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+3 for 1 [4dF = [-][+][-][-]]
Ryusui|GM: !f 2 (resist)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+2 for 3 [4dF = [+][-][ ][+]]
Ryusui|GM: (going to boost for a reroll)
Vera: (Boost which?)
Ryusui|GM: (invoking her Cybernetic Left Arm)
Ryusui|GM: !f 3 (Aggressive)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+3 for 3 [4dF = [-][+][-][+]]
Ryusui|GM: (taking the tie)
Vera: (Remind me where Flerovium and Dovelia are at in terms of Fate points?)
Ryusui|GM: (2 and 4, respectively)
Vera: (She just boosted, how- Oh, right, she lost at facing off twice.)
Margen: Margen will go for the grapefruit, employing a large tungsten wok lid as a shield
Ryusui|GM: Three of the little bastards leap out and begin gnawing, ineffectually, on bare metal. While the most aggressive ones are distracted, Dovelia reaches into the middle and grabs the least-bitey specimen for her personal use.
Margen: !f 3 (Careful)
DiscoDude: <@Margen> rolled 4dF+3 for 0 [4dF = [ ][-][-][-]]
Ryusui|GM: !f 2 (resist)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+2 for 2 [4dF = [-][ ][ ][+]]
Ryusui|GM: (oof. invoke something?)
Ryusui|GM: (oof. invoke something?)
Ryusui|GM: (you got 4 FP)
Margen: eep
(Not sure what to invoke)
Margen: (Yeah fp)
Ryusui|GM: (well, you can fail, or you can succeed at a major cost)
Ryusui|GM: (or you can pick one of your aspects to invoke)
Margen: (Hmm, maybe Graceful Under Pressure to back away somehow?)
Ryusui|GM: (sure)
Ryusui|GM: The grapefruits' assault on your wok shield is intense, Margen!
Vera: (Keep in mind that Feeling the Pressure* is an aspect that's always at everyone's disposal.)
Margen: ~~Margen squeaks as the citrus zaps overwhelm the metal lid, and sets it against a countertop before it burns him~~
Margen: (not exactly sure what to do next)
Ryusui|GM: (describe your success XD)
Vera: (That'd be a tie, meaning you get a boost, right?)
Ryusui|GM: (btw, there are no nearby countertops, unless you're gonna do a Captain America-style throw to one of the kitchen stations XD)
Ryusui|GM: (yeah)
Margen: (my mistake, my initial idea was to jam the molten edge into the floor but I figured counter would be better)
Ryusui|GM: (it's fine, it's still a good idea XD)
Margen: (if there's no counter I'll do the floor one)
Margen: Margen squeaks as the citrus zaps overwhelm the metal lid, and sets it molten edge against the floor before it burns him
Margen: He reaches around and plucks a grapefruit from behind the failing shield
Vera: (I believe that leaves <@!;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾>.)
Ryusui|GM: (yes)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: With the two ingredients in hand, Tako-San and Rachelle stop their beeline at the far station and immediately begin pulling out prep-work. Since this is a no-meat dish, the first thing is a Specialty Food Processor from the cupboards.
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: !f 3 (Fashily Create an Advantage)
DiscoDude: <@;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾> rolled 4dF+3 for 4 [4dF = [+][+][ ][-]]
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Success with style given that the first is always Average (+1) difficulty.))
Ryusui|GM: (yeppers)
Vera: (Already noted.)
Ryusui|GM: "Ooh, that's a new BlendaMax NanoChop food processor!" Holly says, shamelessly taking Tako's choice as an opportunity to shill for one of the show's sponsors.
Ryusui|GM: EXCHANGE 3/15
Ryusui|GM: Dovelia, ingredients in tow, makes for the Lardertron. Her plans involve one of those meat substitutes the chairwoman was talking about...
Ryusui|GM: Her fingers glide across the display, trying to find something with the precise characteristics she's looking for.
Ryusui|GM: !f 2 (Clever)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+2 for 5 [4dF = [+][ ][+][+]]
Ryusui|GM: (SWS)
Ryusui|GM: Our pops a canister of [Neo-Seitan (Savory)][!!], which Dovelia grabs on her way to Station 4.
Ryusui|GM: The Flerovium Chef isn't done gathering ingredients, though. He's going for the triple-crown - the Vampire Zucchini! With the same dance-like flourishes, he aims to sever one from its stem before it can nip him.
Ryusui|GM: !f 3 (Flashy)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+3 for 0 [4dF = [ ][-][-][-]]
Ryusui|GM: !f 2 (resist)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+2 for 0 [4dF = [ ][ ][-][-]]
Ryusui|GM: (boost)
Ryusui|GM: He sniffs a little as the runt comes away in his hand, but he seems satisfied to have the whole trifecta.
Margen: Margen will Lardertron some fresh Ceti Alpha Savory (Savory)
Vera: Vera heads to the lardertron.
"Okay, I have a recipe for a burger that's all meat and a rule that says no meat. Believe it or not, customers have given stupider orders." She cracks her knuckles. "Bring. It. On." She proceeds to punch in just the right filters to find the exact substitute she needs - the occasional fussy customer means that this isn't her first vegan rodeo.
Margen: !f 3 (savory)
DiscoDude: <@Margen> rolled 4dF+3 for 5 [4dF = [+][+][-][+]]
Vera: !f 3 (CLEVER)
DiscoDude: <@Vera> rolled 4dF+3 for 3 [4dF = [-][+][-][+]]
Margen: (wait uh oh is it roll for flavor from Lardertron?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: Rachelle makes a dash for the Lard-o-tron for some of the seaweed native to Tako-San's home reefs. "Standard veggie-wraps, right." She calls as she bolts.
"And I didn't even need to ask. Couldn't ask for better." Tako-San, meanwhile, spends the exchange trying to figure out how the alien blender even works.
Ryusui|GM: (you roll reality aspect to get ingredients from the Lardertron)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: !f 3 (Flashily Create an Advantage against Fair (+2) difficulty for Octo-Reef Endemic Seaweed)
DiscoDude: <@;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾> rolled 4dF+3 for 2 [4dF = [ ][ ][-][ ]]
Vera: And out comes a big mass of Mangle Tofu [!!] (SAVORY); the fry-able tofu that comes complete with pores full of emulated blood!
Ryusui|GM: (at any rate <@!Margen> we can just say you rolled Careful XD)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ~~The alien synthesizer is having some trouble generating the exceptionally specific request and only manages to put out some Generic Japanese Seaweed instead.~~
Margen: (Ok)
Vera: (Wait, why the Fair (+2) difficulty for the lardertron, RG?)
Ryusui|GM: (lardertron difficulty is +0)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Oh! Forgot.))
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: Rachelle scowls at the machine's accuracy at recreating such an exceptionally specific request.
Vera: (What flavor?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Cool; sorry.))
Margen: The Lardertron produces a sizable heap of Space Lilac, a species that is as invasive as it is prevalent in cooking
Ryusui|GM: (i believe that's everyone?)
Ryusui|GM: EXCHANGE 4/15
Vera: (Which station did Tako take? (What number does "across" correspond to?))
Ryusui|GM: (if "the far station" then the one that's furthest from the entrance would be 2)
Ryusui|GM: The Flerovium Chef continues his wild routine as he takes a stop by the Lardertron en route to Station 1.
Ryusui|GM: !f 3 (Flashy)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+3 for 2 [4dF = [-][ ][-][+]]
Ryusui|GM: The Lardertron pops out what looks, to all intents and purposes, like a solid block of cheese. "That's [Synth-Parmesan (Cool)][!], folks! An advanced artificial substitute almost identical in flavor and texture to the real thing!"
Vera: (... I think I actually know what he's going for there.)
Vera: Vera heads over to Station 4.
"Okay, for a vegan menu, it's hard to f up a drink... and for the nuclear element... Yeah, that one from the drink menu back home should go over well."
Vera gets to work jotting out a checklist for a certain drink.
(Just checking; I can activate "Order Up!" a second time if it's a different scene, right?)
Ryusui|GM: (this is a different cookoff, so yes!)
Vera: !f 3 (CLEVER)
DiscoDude: <@Vera> rolled 4dF+3 for 3 [4dF = [-][-][+][+]]
Vera: (So it's like I got a SWS, even though I didn't. XD)
Vera: And she finishes her Chicago Piledriver Checklist [!!]!
Ryusui|GM: ( <@!Vera>, Dovelia is already at Station 4!)
Vera: (Oh, shit. Station 6, then.)
Ryusui|GM: (the numbering goes clockwise from the northwest/"10 o'clock" segment)
Vera: (Nah, I just missed her taking a station at all.)
Vera: (How'd you like my pun, BTW? XD)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((It's flying over my head.))
Vera: (Piledriver cocktail + Chicago Pile.)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Never heard of either of those.))
Vera: (Get thee to a Google machine.)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((NO :P))
Vera: (B'okay.)
Ryusui|GM: Dovelia starts off prepping her starter. Knives, for chopping vegetables.
Ryusui|GM: !f 2 (Careful)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+2 for 2 [4dF = [ ][+][ ][-]]
Ryusui|GM: Soon she has a selection of [Carefully Chosen Knives][!] ready to start slicing.
Ryusui|GM: ( <@!Margen> and <@!;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾> still need to act)
Margen: Margen prepares a breadmaker and sorbet reactor, (I'm not sure if that's 1 action or two)
Vera: (That sounds like two things. Also, parentheses.)
Margen: (probably 2 prep steps, right)
Starting with the breadmaker
Vera: (Describe how you do that, and that'll determine what you roll.)
Margen: (trying to figure out what to use, probably Careful to create an advantage)
Margen: !f 3 (careful to create an advantage against +1)
DiscoDude: <@Margen> rolled 4dF+3 for 0 [4dF = [-][ ][-][-]]
Margen: (oof)
Vera: (Fail, succeed at a major cost, or invoke?)
Margen: (do FP apply?)
Vera: (This is the kind of thing they're for. Do you have any relevant aspects? (If not... Feeling the Pressure (one of our Seasonal Aspects) is always there if you need it. >:D))
Vera: (Also, how many do you have left at the moment?)
Ryusui|GM: (3)
Margen: (Prooobably Simply Optimistic, considering I dropped a breadmaker on my head)
Vera: (You did? Invoking past the opposition means you succeeded. "You failed the roll." *invokes "No I didn't!")
Margen: (I was hoping to go with an "I bet it still works" approach and plug it in even though it's dented)
Margen: (A caught it on the bounce attitude)
Ryusui|GM: (i can work with that XD)
Ryusui|GM: Indeed, the breadmaker falls out of the cupboard, bounces off your cranium, and lands, dented, on the countertop.
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: "How are they able to recreate a very specific breed of seaweed?" Rachelle asks Tako-San, sternly, as she returns from the Lard-o-Tron.
"I gave the data beforehand, so I could use it on the show."
"That's....!" Rachelle hesitates, clearly conflicted. On one hand she does want Earth culture to be syphoned up by space aliens before humanity is on equal terms with them; on the other, it's a supposed "Earthling" giving it to them instead of them taking it, but that hinges on Tako-San telling the truth about their origins, of which Rachelle is still skeptical. She let's out an exacerbated "Uuuugh!" in her confusion.
"Rachelle; I need you to stay here while I go get another ingredient." Tako-San tries to push off the edge of the counter towards the adjacent Flerovium Chef, but Rachelle grabs ahold of the tank.
"A-a-a! No! You know I'm not allowed to do the actual cooking."
"I'm not asking you to, just hold down the fort while I scope the competition."
"Oooorrrr you could spend the time actually making the food and not risking wasted effort. I'm not as much a push-over as Daisy."
Tako-San gasps, complete with a tentacle to the spot under and between their eyes; "How dare you speak ill of your peers!"
"She is."
"True, but besides the point."
"I'll* get the ingredient."
"No time." Tako-San hops out of the tank with one of the sponges decorating it and slides across to Flerovium Chef's station to try to snag the missing piece of the trifecta, Rachelle cursing as she just misses the slippery old coot.
Tako-San being as small as they are can get under the house chef's "feet" relatively unnoticed, but actually grabbing the fruit will be tricky.
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: !f 2 (Sneakily Overcome Flerovium Chef's opposition)
DiscoDude: <@;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾> rolled 4dF+2 for -1 [4dF = [ ][-][-][-]]
Margen: bonk
Margen sees flying toasters for a moment, but seeing that the breadmaker is only mildly dented, he plugs it in anyway and it beeps happily.
Ryusui|GM: !f 4 (Clever)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+4 for 3 [4dF = [-][ ][-][+]]
Ryusui|GM: (hoo boy. you gonna do anything to fix that?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Invoking high concept for a reroll.))
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: !f 2
DiscoDude: <@;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾> rolled 4dF+2 for 1 [4dF = [ ][-][+][-]]
Ryusui|GM: (nope :3)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((A second will get a tie. I'm assuming that's "Tako-San copies the aspect instead of transferring it."))
Vera: (You'll find that Flerovium isn't nearly as much of an oblivious doofus as Rubidium. XD)
Ryusui|GM: (you know, i hadn't yet established the Flerovium Chef as having taken a station)
Ryusui|GM: (which station are you at, again?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((You said station 1.))
Vera: (^)
Ryusui|GM: (ah, right. mb)
Ryusui|GM: As it just so happens, the Flerovium Chef grabbed several Atomic Grapefruit during his wild dance. There's one, its juicy pink "eye" still faintly flickering with destructive energy, at the edge of his countertop. You wrap a subtle tentacle around it...
Vera: (I chose 6 'cause I've already bullied Dovelia enough this episode. XD)
Ryusui|GM: ...and a knife stabs into the countertop - as if it was made of butter - just millimeters from your grip.
Ryusui|GM: ...and a knife stabs into the countertop - as if it was made of butter - just millimeters from your grip.
Ryusui|GM: The Flerovium Chef stands above you, grinning with a mouth full of more teeth than any plant ought to muster.
Vera: (Grab and run like hell! XD)
Ryusui|GM: "You're lucky seafood is not in my repertoire," he croons. You're still in a position to escape with your prize, but nothing more than that - unless you want to risk getting filleted!
Vera: (Only one move action per Exchange. XD)
Vera: (So Flerovium might be about to attack either way. XD)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: "Ai betta make like a tree and leave." Tako-San quips before pushing off the opposing station, riding the still wet sponge with the alien ovum in tow.
((They initiating next exchange's movement since they already moved this exchange.))
Ryusui|GM: EXCHANGE 5/15
Vera: (You can't just pay movement forward like that. That's not how that works. XD)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((I was pre-announcing next turns actions, mechanically, Tako-San is still in Flerovium Chef's zone.))
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: Tako-San sliiiides back to their tank. As they're climbing back in a beleaguered Rachelle looks on, almost twitchy-eyed.
Vera: (In fact, if he's not going to perform a parting shot as you go, I'm going to Compel one out of him. He has an aspect that involves sadism, right?)
Ryusui|GM: ("Eat the Rude!" might work XD)
Vera: (Oh god that is a sublime aspect. XD)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Alright.))
Vera: (So since I'm a player, and not self-compelling, I have to toss my own point Flerovium's way, right?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Yes.))
Vera: (A'ight. <@!Ryusui|GM>?)
Ryusui|GM: (okay, one sec XD)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((So, as Tako-San is sliding towards the zone boundary....))
Ryusui|GM: (you and Flerovium are at 3)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((You said station 1.))
Vera: (3 FP)
Vera: (And he was talking to me.)
Ryusui|GM: (3 FP, yes)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Sorry.))
Vera: (Er... For the record, would he have done this if I hadn't compelled him?)
Ryusui|GM: (no, i was gonna have him focus on his cooking until the halfway twist)
Vera: (Haha, nice.)
Ryusui|GM: "I do believe you haven't paid for that," the Flerovium Chef croons, throwing a knife at your tentacles as you try to make your getaway!
Ryusui|GM: (Carefully Creating Advantage against you!)
Ryusui|GM: !f 3 (Careful)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+3 for 2 [4dF = [-][ ][+][-]]
Vera: (That sounds more like an Attack. Trying to hinder movement?)
Ryusui|GM: (yes)
Ryusui|GM: (aiming to maim)
Vera: (Pretty sure "aiming to maim" can only be an Attack, but okay.)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: With a sharp implement barreling towards his eventual position, Tako-San decides to take a literal leap of faith to see how far they can make it without the sponge.
((Flashily Defend.))
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ! 3
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: !f 3

Vera: ((Especially since dealing any damage leads to an invokeable aspect, anyway.))
Ryusui|GM: (success on a defense means nothing happens, i'm pretty sure?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: And with the assist on an ink jet, Tako-San manage to lanuch himself all the way onto his station's countertop.
Ryusui|GM: (ah, nvm, you do get a boost on an SWS)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((No; still boost, unless U.C. specifically does that differently.))
Vera: (Ah, guess it didn't really matter whether it was an Attack or Create Advantage, in the end.)
Ryusui|GM: The ink jet hits the knife, sending it spinning back at the Flerovium Chef. Without losing a beat, he seizes the blade between his thumb and forefinger.
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((I'm trying to think of a boost that'll be useful in the actual cooking.))
Ryusui|GM: Meanwhile, Dovelia grabs a head of Cosmocabbage and gets to work preparing a [Cosmocabbage Side Salad (Cool): 3]
Ryusui|GM: !f 1 (Cool)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+1 for 1 [4dF = [ ][ ][ ][ ]]
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Oh! I was thinking the knife would just stick in the ink-covered sponge.))
Ryusui|GM: (spending the invoke on the knives!)
Ryusui|GM: Dovelia looks at the salad, and the Neo-Seitan. She already had plans for this, but an idea comes to mind...
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: Tako-San triumphantly holds up the Extraterrestrial seed-pack as a beleaguered Rachelle plants a palm firmly in their face.
"Can we get moving, now?" She asks.
"Why, of course, nowhere to go now but up!"
Rachelle's hand presses deeper into her face.
Ryusui|GM: (XD)
Ryusui|GM: (don't forget, you still have an action this turn)
Vera: (What's the boost?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Lifted Spirits))
Vera: While that debacle played out with Tako, Vera's sauntering over to Station 1 from the other direction.
Vera: She has a cleaver.
Vera: "Yo." She grabs his free arm, (hopefully) paralyzing him. "Read online just now that you had a habit of using yourself in your dishes. And that you can regrow limbs." And the cleaver comes down on his hand!
Vera: !f 2 (AGGRESSIVE)
DiscoDude: <@Vera> rolled 4dF+2 for 3 [4dF = [ ][ ][+][ ]]
Vera: (Attacking, for the record.)
Ryusui|GM: (oh, holy shit XD)
Ryusui|GM: !f 3 (Flashy)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+3 for 4 [4dF = [+][+][-][ ]]
Ryusui|GM: (are you gonna boost?)
Vera: (Thinking...)
Vera: (Ah yes, the one I just recently swapped in; Villain Deflator.)
Vera: (That one bullies bad guys. XD)
Margen: Margen attempts to retrieve an ice cream churn (from a lower shelf this time :P)
Vera: (That's 1 stress, I believe.)
Ryusui|GM: (it is, and it'll take his Scrambled)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: "Fortunately," Rachelle continues, "I've found the instruction manual for the blender; the app they put on my phone when I competed should be able to translate it."
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: !f 2 (Cleverly Create an Advantage against Fair (+2) difficulty)
DiscoDude: <@;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾> rolled 4dF+2 for 2 [4dF = [ ][+][ ][-]]
Vera: (Also, I believe I have a stunt that places Paralyzed on him with no free invokes, since I made skin contact. XD)
Vera: (I forget, do I need to spend a Fate point on that?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: "****! It's only a Brief Summary of the Instructions."
Vera: (Or did I get rid of the free invoke to make placing it free once?)
Ryusui|GM: (yeah, there's no free invokes)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: Holly mentions to the audience, "Unfortunately we couldn't include the full operations manual as that would take up the entire inside of the station's cupboards."
Margen: Margen cringes. He too knows the agony of unhelpful leaflet manuals.
Ryusui|GM: The grin freezes on the Flerovium Chef's face as you make contact. His regenerative abilities are just as good as advertised, so you don't quite manage to sever his hand, but you do leave a very messy gash on his arm. Syrupy sap sprays into his face.
Vera: (Aw, I wanted a souvenir to use in my dishes. XD)
Ryusui|GM: (well, this is an attack, so you wouldn't get an aspect anyway XD)
Vera: (In flavor only, but sure. XD)
Ryusui|GM: (you can totally collect some of that sap if you want)
Vera: (It's just not the same...)
Margen: !f 3 (careful to create an advantage against +2 to hopefully pick up an ice cream maker)
DiscoDude: <@Margen> rolled 4dF+3 for 2 [4dF = [-][ ][-][+]]
Vera: Vera glances over at the leaflet kerfuffle.
"What, that's what everyone's reacting to?"
Margen: (Margen has been watching the Flerovium Chef intently)
Vera: (Next exchange, what would be the difficulty for effectively stealing the effect of Flerovium's self-ingredient stunt?)
Vera: (And how much would the difficulty lower if you consider the following; he is paralyzed?)
Ryusui|GM: (honestly? i would consider it a Create Advantage at +0)
Vera: (*unnecessary poker face)
Vera: (*poker face... breaking... down... smile... imminent...)
Ryusui|GM: (anyways whoop)
Vera: (I believe Margen has tied his roll?)
Ryusui|GM: ( <@!Margen> you can accept the tie, or boost for a clean win)
Ryusui|GM: ( same to you, <@!;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾> )
Margen: (I'll accept the tie, as long as I don't drop it on my toes xD)
Vera: (Tie is technically not a failure, so...)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((I already stated the boost the two acquired.))
Ryusui|GM: The sorbet maker looks very fancy, and also perhaps slightly busted. You might be able to get a use out of it at maximum capacity.
Margen: "Excellent! It turns!"
Vera: (That's the boost name. XD)
Ryusui|GM: ( also <@!Vera> i do believe we're about an hour from your mandatory sleep time, so perhaps this is a good place to wrap things up for the night? )
Vera: (Is this exchange 5 or 6?)
Ryusui|GM: (five out of fifteen)
Vera: (Yeah, 5 a night seems good. I was hoping for 6 this time and next since that would leave 3 exchanges and plenty of time for judging in the third session, but ah well.)
Ryusui|GM: ( <@&627978553669058562> good with calling it for the night?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((I'm fine with that.))
Margen: I'm good with whatever, I've had a relaxing day and now would work if that's what other people could go for 👍
Ryusui|GM: "Don't go away, Uranium Chef fans! We'll be right back after a word from our sponsors!"
Ryusui|GM: !end
