DiscoDude: ---BEGIN SESSION---
DiscoDude: Session logging commenced
Ryusui|GM: EXCHANGE 7/15
Ryusui|GM: The moment the Flerovium Chef's hand is done re-growing, he seizes a knife and nearly dices the cutting board itself as he turns his vampire zucchini into slices. A little breading and they're ready to dunk in the fryer basket.
Ryusui|GM: (Attempting to make Fried Vampire Zucchini (Cool): 5)
Ryusui|GM: !f 2 (Cool)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+2 for 6 [4dF = [+][+][+][+]]
Vera: (Can I invoke his condition to reroll that?)
Ryusui|GM: (do you have a FATE Point to spend? do note I have four to refuse the compel with)
Ryusui|GM: (which i guess means you get a FATE Point if you try to compel this)
Vera: (It has a free invoke.)
Ryusui|GM: (well i'll still spend a FATE Point to refuse anyway)
Ryusui|GM: (also i misread he has 3)
Ryusui|GM: (still)
Vera: (Hm... Alright, then.)
Ryusui|GM: The slices come out golden brown and delicious. It's impossible to tell what the Flerovium Chef is thinking as he lifts the basket out of the oil, but his eye is twitching dangerously.
Vera: "Vegan panko substitute, I presume?"
Vera: Vera, back at Station 6, decides to start work on her first dish.
"Alright, fake-ass burger time. Gonna turn this convincing pile of not-viscera into a Mangle Tofu Burger - SAVORY:6. I'm dying a little inside."
Ryusui|GM: The Flerovium Chef refuses to address your question; however, for the audience, Holly eagerly intervenes. "Panko is made from bread crumbs, and bread is made from flour in most parts of the galaxy - no milk or eggs required!"
Vera: "Whaaaatever."
Vera: !f 2 (SAVORY)
DiscoDude: <@Vera> rolled 4dF+2 for 2 [4dF = [ ][ ][-][+]]
Vera: (Using both invokes on the mangle tofu.)
Vera: "And there we go. Perfectly competent, even if I'm not putting those in my mouth in a million years."
Vera: (BTW, what's the house chef's popularity aspect?)
Ryusui|GM: (uh)
Ryusui|GM: (i didn't know they had to have one)
Ryusui|GM: (i just searched the book)
Vera: (Well, he got an eclipse.)
Ryusui|GM: (oh XD)
Ryusui|GM: ([Mounting Derangement], perhaps? XD)
Vera: (Nice. Any, uh... anyone else want to have a go?)
Ryusui|GM: Dovelia, meanwhile, soldiers forward with what looks like a [Killer Eggplant Ratatouille], putting some Killer Eggplant and an assortment of complementary vegetables and spices into a large stewpot.
Vera: (Flavor and Opposition?)
Ryusui|GM: (attempting to make Killer Eggplant Ratatouille (Bitter): 6)
Ryusui|GM: !f 2 (Bitter)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+2 for 1 [4dF = [ ][-][+][-]]
Ryusui|GM: (mmm...kay. I'm going to spend my free invoke of Killer Eggplant, spend one FATE Point on Carefully Chosen Knives, and another on her High Concept. Any objections?)
Vera: (None. How many's Dovelia at?)
Ryusui|GM: (2 FP, now)
Ryusui|GM: The smell of the dish begins to waft gently through the arena. Dovelia nods to herself, then surveys the battleground. Almost halfway through the competition and she's making good time...
Vera: (That's a main dish aspect, right?)
Ryusui|GM: (yes)
Margen: Margen plugs in the somewhat-dented breadmaker and begins preparation of his Date with a Vampire Cake (cool: 5)[+2 from the breadmaker and +2 from the zucchini means I'd only have to beat a 1 with that, right?]
Ryusui|GM: (right, but remember you need to spend the free invokes)
Ryusui|GM: (roll your Cool)
Margen: !f 2 (cool)
DiscoDude: <@Margen> rolled 4dF+2 for 2 [4dF = [ ][+][-][ ]]
Margen: (Plus the invoke and the aspect)
Ryusui|GM: (yep)
Ryusui|GM: (that's a win!)
Ryusui|GM: ( <@!;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾>? )
Vera: (Main dish aspect, Margen? (Wait, is that your second dessert, or is the "cake" part a technicality?))
Margen: (The cake is an appetizer)
Vera: (Got it.)
Margen: (Main dish is (savory))
Margen: The zucchini hisses in annoyance as it is grated into the mixing bowl, smoking slightly as it is shaved. The entire finished loaf appears to be asking to be devoured, in an otherworldly sort of way.
Ryusui|GM: (XD)
Ryusui|GM: ( again, <@!;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾> )
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Sorry; stepped away to get food.))
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((I'm actually not feeling as well as I thought after the rough sleep I had last night. I should be able to keep going, but I wouldn't mind pausing after this exchange is complete.))
Ryusui|GM: ('nother pause, then? sure)
Ryusui|GM: (i would like to point out that next exchange, the twist gets introduced)
Vera: (Pause after this exchange, that is.)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Perfect timing, then!))
Ryusui|GM: (would you rather i introduce the twist before or after the break?)
Ryusui|GM: ( <@&627978553669058562>? )
Vera: (After.)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((After.))
Ryusui|GM: (after it is, then :3)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((I think I wrote myself into a corner. I can't make Sushi with the zucchini since the seaweed is already Cool. Would it be alright to recton the aspect to Diced Zucchini Bits?))
Margen: (I usually think of nori as savory, actually)
Vera: (BITTER, for me.)
Ryusui|GM: (both your fellow chefs have a point)
Margen: (seaweed is versatile 👍)
Ryusui|GM: (if you want to cast the nori wrap as bitter or savory, I'll allow it)
Ryusui|GM: (it sure is)
Ryusui|GM: (there are these crispy seaweed snacks i haven't had in a long time, and they are definitely savory)
Ryusui|GM: (nori on its own would probably qualify as a bitter vegetable by UC standards)
Vera: (Should we set a precedent for just being able to retcon legit tactical blunders, though?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Right; I said it's a fictional species of seaweed, so I can just say it's whatever I want. Switching the aspect to Savory, then.))
Vera: (Like, this isn't just a typo or a math error.)
Ryusui|GM: (wait, wait, to be clear, what are we discussing here, it's been a while)
Ryusui|GM: (are we talking about something RG made, or something RG is going to make?)
Vera: (Going to, using an ingredient he procured several exchanges ago.)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Am I allowed to rewrite the zucchini aspect to not be suchi-specific and/or retcon the seaweed to be a flavor other than Cool?))
Ryusui|GM: (is the seaweed a dish aspect? or is it an ingredient aspect?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Cause both of those already exist, and my brain is mush right now.))
Vera: (He grabbed COOL seaweed as an ingredient a while back, then made COOL sushi innards out of a different ingredient as a dish.)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((The seaweed came from the Lard-o-Tron.))
Ryusui|GM: (okay, so)
Ryusui|GM: (you can use the seaweed but you can't invoke it to make a COOL dish aspect)
Ryusui|GM: (that's the bottom line here)
Ryusui|GM: (er)
Ryusui|GM: (you can ONLY invoke it to make a COOL dish aspect)
Ryusui|GM: (narratively, it's in the dish; mechanically, it does not help you)
Ryusui|GM: (so yes this was a tactical blunder on your part but it doesn't kill you)
Vera: (And you can find another use for it in a different dish where you can invoke it.)
Ryusui|GM: (^^^)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Alright.))
Ryusui|GM: (you have COOL seaweed and you can make a seaweed dish aspect that's SAVORY or BITTER but you can't invoke the COOL seaweed to help you make a non-COOL dish aspect)
Ryusui|GM: (simple :3)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: With the zucchini diced, Tako-San moved on to the rice and seaweed.
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: !r 2 (Creat an Advantage to place Ready-Made Wraps (Savory:8))
DiscoDude: <@;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾> rolled 2 for 2 [] (Creat an Advantage to place Ready-Made Wraps; and 8 for 8 []
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: !f 2
DiscoDude: <@;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾> rolled 4dF+2 for 2 [4dF = [+][-][ ][ ]]
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Both invokes of the food processor (I assume it has a tape-cutter mode), and expending Lifted Spirits.))
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((That ties, which has the same effect as a success.))
Vera: (Side or plating?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Plating; sorry.))
Ryusui|GM: (describe the win and let's continue :3)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: The strips of seaweed are laid out and pile with rice, and the zucchini on top, ready to be rolled on a moment's notice.
Vera: (If it's plated, I'd assume they're rolled already.)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((The gimmick is that rolling them up in front of the consumer is part of it's presentasion.))
Ryusui|GM: "Chefs!"
Ryusui|GM: The Chairwoman makes her appearance without fanfare at the center of the arena.
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((We agreed to reveal after the pause.))
Ryusui|GM: (hang on)
Ryusui|GM: "We're almost to the halfway point in this competition. And as you all know..." She raises her hand, finger poised to snap. "...that means it's time to introduce a complication to your lives."
Vera: (I assume GM's going to give us a cliffhanger.)
Ryusui|GM: "What diabolical twist does the Chairwoman have in mind for our chefs?" Holly interjects. "Find out after we return from commercial break!"
Ryusui|GM: (any last lines, <@&627978553669058562>? XD)
Margen: "I love surprises!"
Vera: "Spoiler alert; it's probably plants or something."
Vera: (<@!;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾>?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((I'm fine.))
Ryusui|GM: (then let us...)
Ryusui|GM: !end
