DiscoDude: ---BEGIN SESSION---
DiscoDude: Session logging commenced
Ryusui|GM: "A reminder to you all!" the Chairwoman calls out. "You will have five exchanges to prepare and present - with flair - an appetizer dish in your assigned flavor!"
Ryusui|GM: COURSE 1/3 (APPETIZER), EXCHANGE 1/5
Ryusui|GM: You might note, if you look, that each of your stations has its own Lardertron for gathering ingredients.
Ryusui|GM: A small concession, given the center of the arena is out-of-bounds.
Ryusui|GM: It has, for the time being, been converted to a rather opulent Eastern-style restaurant setting (or whatever suffices for "Eastern-style" in space).
Vera: “A’ight, let’s get, uh...” Vera looks at her Lardertron with apprehension. “SWEET appetizer... SWEET appetizer? Oh! That should work, right?” She has the CLEVER idea to try looking for one of the SWEETer types of shellfish.
Vera: !F 3 (CLEVER)
DiscoDude: Vera rolled 4dF+3 for 2 [4dF = [-][-][ ][+]]
Vera: (We take those!)
Out pops a water-filled container of Scaramel Scallops [!] (SWEET).
“The ‘buttery candy of the sea,’ right? I’ve seen ‘em used to give like... a natural-tasting sweetness to certain vegetable soups.”
Ryusui|GM: (score!)
Ryusui|GM: "A seafood dish! How divine!" Aurum says, looking over at your station, Vera. "My mind was going in the exact same direction!" She delicately, carefully taps in an order for some suitable ingredients.
Ryusui|GM: !f 3 (Careful)
DiscoDude: Ryusui|GM rolled 4dF+3 for 3 [4dF = [-][+][-][+]]
Vera: “I mean, that’s kind of a ‘no sht’ move if your flavor is COOL, but whatever. I really do hope your thing turns out good, lady.”
Ryusui|GM: What comes out is a Star Fish [!] (COOL). Not to be confused with an Earth starfish, to be clear - the strange sea(?)dweller is known to eat cosmic rays and develop a positively luminescent* glow. Right now, in her hands, it's as bright as a glow stick.
Ryusui|GM: Dovelia has no response. She punches in her own Lardertron ingredient order, almost as if she's punching the machine itself.
Ryusui|GM: !f 3 (Aggressive)
DiscoDude: Ryusui|GM rolled 4dF+3 for 5 [4dF = [+][+][+][-]]
Ryusui|GM: Her brutal treatment of the machine has its rewards. Out comes some prime Xenofungal Caps [!!] (SAVORY), glistening pink mushrooms harvested from a hostile exoplanet. Perfect for the appetizer she has in mind.
Ryusui|GM: ( Margen, ;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾?)
Margen: (typing up pyrohol, checking Margen's sheet
Margen: Margen decides to harvest some Glurrid fermented chili-pepper liquor from the Lardertron, carefully selecting the necessary volatiles to make Great Aunt Zxxzxz's 190-Proof Pyrohol
Margen: !f 3 (Careful)
DiscoDude: Margen rolled 4dF+3 for 3 [4dF = [ ][-][ ][+]]
Ryusui|GM: (score!)
Margen: (Nice!)
Vera: (Is that the ingredient you got, or the dish you plan to make with it?)
Margen: (Ingredient, the dish is the burning shots that make everything after taste mildly spicy)
Vera: (Got it.)
Margen: *Great Aunt Zxxzxz's 190-Proof Pyrohol (Spicy)*
Ryusui|GM: (i love the idea that Margen technically isn't ordering the ingredient from the Lardertron; he's ordering the constituents of the ingredient and trusting the Lardertron to combine them XD)
Margen: (Just the right amount of chemistry :y)
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: Tako-San, exuberant as ever, carts over to his larder-atron and, with a fluish befitting the King of Games, plucks a card from one of the dolly's side compartments and inserts it into the larder-atron's reader.
((Flashily Create an Advantage against Mediocre (±0) difficulty to place a Bitter ingrediant aspect on the scene.))
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: !f 3
DiscoDude: ;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾ rolled 4dF+3 for 2 [4dF = [ ][ ][-][ ]]
Vera: (Normal success.)
Ryusui|GM: (good, good~)
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: After a bright, nearly blinding flash from its screen, the machine dispanses a delicate-looking aquatic flower with petals as dark as the void of space itself. With his Black Lotus in tentacle, they they return to there station to collect the other ingredients.
Margen: (hehehehe)
Ryusui|GM: COURSE 1/3 (APPETIZER), EXCHANGE 2/5
Vera: Vera sets out the tools she’ll need for her presentation... only to wander off to [Station 1] partway through. There, Tako’s making his own preparations.
(Attempting a SNEAKY paralysis attack against Tako (or his tank-girl - whoever’s less likely to notice her coming over all of a sudden), using my You Feeling Alright? stunt.)
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((I think Escape Artist would cancel that.))
Vera: (Would it? It’s an attack, not an obstacle or compel.)
Vera: (Ryusui|GM, what’s your ruling? I’m not trying to impede his ability to act.)
Ryusui|GM: (if he's trying to paralyze the tank girl then Escape Artist doesn't apply)
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((I checked; the stunt is a +2 to Attack, so an immunity stunt wouldn't stop it.))
Ryusui|GM: (yeah there's that too)
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: (("You Feeling Alright" also only applies to attack the chef themself.))
Vera: (I kinda assumed the tank-girls counted as the same mechanical character, but sure; if your immunity doesn’t protect against it anyway, I guess I’m targeting him directly.)
Vera: (Shall I roll?)
Ryusui|GM: (i won't stop you 😉 )
Vera: !f 4 (SNEAKY + Stunt)
DiscoDude: Vera rolled 4dF+4 for 3 [4dF = [-][ ][ ][ ]]
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: Tako-San, sensing the approach from behind, lunges at his would be attacker, spinning with their beak as the axis, in a brazen attempt to throw off the Ghoul's assualt.
((Flashily Defend against Vera's Good (+3) Attack))
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: !f 3
DiscoDude: ;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾ rolled 4dF+3 for 1 [4dF = [+][-][-][-]]
Ryusui|GM: (That's two shifts of stress, Tako. How are you gonna take 'em?)
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: However, Lue-Anne leaps also leaps in to protect her employer, hoping to take the blow in his stead.
((Spending a free invoke for a reroll.))
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: !f 3
DiscoDude: ;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾ rolled 4dF+3 for 2 [4dF = [ ][ ][-][ ]]
Ryusui|GM: (shoulda just added the +2 ^_^; )
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((The +2 would have been more prodective.))
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((I was banking on the unlikelyhood of another [-][-][-] to same him.))
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: With Tako-San's tragetory altered by the intervention, instead of planting directly onto Vera's face, one of his tentacles bushes it as he falls to the floor. Strained from the ordeal, they also find that the tentacle which came in contact, is indead suffering from the paralyzing touch.
Vera: (Dang it, I had my own paragraph queued up. XP)
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: "Ha!" Tako-San give a hardy shout. "This won't even slow mii down!"
Vera: (Involved catching the tentacle like he went for a handshake, then chuck him into the trash - paralysis only lasts for a few seconds and Lue-Anne could free him easily, but getting dropped in the trash would still cause stress.)
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((I'm going on the logic of "The paralasis effects his species at full potency, but is limited to the portion of their decentralized nervous system that made contact."))
Vera: (Okay? Still, I’d appreciate it if you could let the one who made the successful Attack describe what happens in the future?)
Margen: Satisfied with the flammability ||and serious tongue-disrupting qualities|| of the potent Glurrid potable at hand, Margen moves next door and offers a measured thimble-sample of the high-octane capsaicinoid jet fuel schnapps to Dovelia; there is obviously not enough there to inebriate ||but more than enough to make everything taste like a random selection of peppers for the next few minutes||. (Careful)
Vera: (I had a whole paragraph queued up thinking I had the right of way.)
Margen: (does that work for the setup to create a sabotage advantage?)
Vera: (Absolutely, but could you explain how it’s CAREFUL and not SNEAKY?)
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((Hmm.... Yeah; that does seem to be a problem with P.V.P. in Fate that's a bit more baked-in to the core functioning of the system.))
Vera: (I’m thinking in PVP, the one who won the roll has first right of way in describing the outcome.)
Margen: (I probably should have emphasized that he's deliberately measured it out be unassuming but still enough to cause trouble, though that might also be sneaky...)
Vera: (I mean, I think the challenge here is convincing Dovelia to drink it. XD)
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((I think Careful works here, especially if Margen isn't going to be suibtle about the actual offer.))
Vera: (Lie-to-your-face deception also falls under SNEAKY.)
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((Oh, yeah; that.))
Ryusui|GM: (either way i'm rolling CLEVER to defend)
Margen: (I was thinking about the titration itself)
(Margen has had at least as much, though, but he doesn't care because his dish is spicy anyway)
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((Yeah; the part of this that's actually the saboutage is getting Dovelia to take of an opponent's offering.))
Vera: (Ryusui|GM, you’re the one with the final call here.)
Margen: Margen tastes the pyrohol and burps a little bit of green fire.
Looking a little confused, he pours another two thimbles. He walks over to Dovelia, offers her one, and asks "from one chef to another, does this taste right to you?"
Ryusui|GM: (hot damn, i love this)
Ryusui|GM: (okay but this is Clever or Sneaky, not Careful)
Margen: (probably Clever)
Margen: !f 2 (clever)
DiscoDude: Margen rolled 4dF+2 for 0 [4dF = [-][ ][ ][-]]
Margen: (wuh oh XD)
Ryusui|GM: !f 2 (Clever)
DiscoDude: Ryusui|GM rolled 4dF+2 for -1 [4dF = [-][-][ ][-]]
Ryusui|GM: (oh my god XD)
Ryusui|GM: Dovelia has no concept that Margen has a capacity for deceit. She frowns briefly, then takes a careful sip. But a sip is enough. She coughs, sputters, hands the vial back, then runs to the sink, trying to wash the taste out of her mouth to no avail. [Everything Tastes Spicy Now!][!]
Vera: (When you roll a 2 for Deception, but the other guy rolls a nat 1.)
Margen: Margen's eyes start to dilate as the peppers hit
Ryusui|GM: (bear in mind, you will need to invoke this against her 😉 )
Margen: He is not immune
Vera: (Is this a self-compel or Margen just being goofy?)
Margen: (honestly probably both, he did drink twice as much xD)
Vera: (You compelling the ingredient itself, or one of your character aspects? (Your Carrot and Persona both maybe work here.))
Margen: (Probably Persona)
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((Compelling a confessional from the attempt on Tako-San's career.))
Ryusui|GM: (so what does this actually do to Margen? Like, if you're self-compelling, you get an extra FATE Point, but you're also inflicting some manner of complication on yourself)
Ryusui|GM: ;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾ VOIP!
Vera: (Maybe the same aspect he gave Dovelia?)
Ryusui|GM: "Well, that was a shocker!" Holly giggles. "Bet you didn't see that one coming!"
Margen: What about [Everything is Spicy for Me Now Too!]?
Ryusui|GM: (pffffyes)
Vera: (BTW, keep in mind that Tako still needs to take his own action after this.)
Margen: Margen half-groans, half-hiccups, and half-yelps "I hate being right sometiiiimes"
Ryusui|GM: ;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾ !f 2 (Holly's Clever)
Ryusui|GM: (oop)
Ryusui|GM: !f 2 (Holly's Clever)
DiscoDude: Ryusui|GM rolled 4dF+2 for 3 [4dF = [ ][+][-][+]]
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: "Almost!" Tako-San puffs up before going to a dramatic cooning pose. And bless Lue-Anne's heart; she meant well despite ruining the animé moment."
((Flashily defend against Holly'es Good (+3) attack))
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: !f 3
DiscoDude: ;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾ rolled 4dF+3 for 1 [4dF = [+][-][-][-]]
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((I forget what failure here means.))
Ryusui|GM: (you take an additional condition)
Ryusui|GM: (but you still get the FATE Point)
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((Alright; I'll let you continue as Holly, so Tako-San can appropriately bounce off her.))
Ryusui|GM: For some reason, Holly's mockery only makes the pain in your partly paralyzed tentacle worse.
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((Oh; was expecting dialog, but I can work with this.))
Ryusui|GM: (she already got a line XD)
Vera: (Like, her jabs are so bad they cause psychic damage? XD)
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: After being Scrambled by Holly (though, not showing it) and teleported back to the arena, Tako-San climbs back onto the counter, limps over to his tank, grabs up a bunch of the utensils lying around and starts juggling them hap-hazardly, which is enough for the now beleaguered Lue-Anne to break character.
"Tako-San! What are you thinking?"
"Don't worry! I' barely even need four tentacles to do this."
"That's not--AAGH!" Lue-Anne catches herself and recomposes.
((Flashily create an advantage against Mediocre (±0) difficulty to place the aspect Cutlery Arranged with Showmanship on the scene))
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: !f 3
DiscoDude: ;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾ rolled 4dF+3 for 0 [4dF = [-][ ][-][-]]
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((Boost.))
Vera: (I invoke STRAINED against you.)
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((Of course.))
Vera: (And the first prep aspect you make is against Average (+1) difficulty.)
Ryusui|GM: Aurum giggles at the shenanigans happening at the other stations. "My, what a lively bunch," she says as Dovelia's face all but ignites. She turns her attention back to her own cooking, deftly mincing some of the Star Fish in preparation for her actual dish.
Ryusui|GM: !f 3 (Quick)
DiscoDude: Ryusui|GM rolled 4dF+3 for 5 [4dF = [+][+][ ][ ]]
Ryusui|GM: She now has a pile of [Deftly Minced Star Fish][!!] to work with.
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: Unfortunately, the flying forks and spinning spoons are too much for Tako-San and they all come crashing down.
Ryusui|GM: Dovelia, still coughing and spluttering, fumbles around with some bread and a saucepan, attempting to make some stuffing for her main dish.
Ryusui|GM: !f 2 (Careful)
DiscoDude: Ryusui|GM rolled 4dF+2 for 3 [4dF = [-][+][ ][+]]
Vera: (Margen, you wanna invoke?)
Margen: (Yep)
Ryusui|GM: (i was gonna say "it won't apply here, 'cause she's not working with flavors," but then i realize i established she is stumbling around in an absolutely miserable state)
Ryusui|GM: (she still gets a boost out of it, though)
Ryusui|GM: She almost burns herself once or twice trying to make this simple preparation; in the end, she manages a passable pile of -Breadcrumb Stuffing- to work into her dish.
Ryusui|GM: COURSE 1/3 (APPETIZER), EXCHANGE 3/5
Vera: “And back to [Station 6], I go~”
Vera brings her hot-plate(?) griddle onto the stovetop facing the judges, along with her scallops and various kinds of sugars and spirits.
“Hey, who wants a spooky lesson in thermodynamic chemistry?”
Ryusui|GM: Araza waves. "Me! Me, me, me!"
Margen: Margen wanders back to his station in a chili-delerium; it feels like it takes weeks
Vera: “Cool.” Vera clicks on all the gas-burners. “Give this a moment, and I’ll be ready to cook up some Caramel-Scar Scallop Risotto - SWEET:2 - with that lesson in the process.”
Margen: he wants to see this chem demo but he doesn't know where the sounds he's hearing are coming from right now
Vera: (“The abridged version, that is.”)
Vera: !f 1 (SWEET)
DiscoDude: Vera rolled 4dF+1 for 1 [4dF = [+][ ][-][ ]]
Vera: (And I spend the invoke on the scallops to succeed at making the dish itself.)
Ryusui|GM: (yeppers)
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: With Tako-San's botched attempt, he brushes aside the disaster, clearing the counter top, and plucks a wee fae lass from a jar in the pantry and callously plucks the wings from the Poor (-1) pagan's back, before tossing the tortured soul over his mantle, where she land in Lue-Anne's hands, where the two women stay, stunned until the veteran tank girl carries the lass back to the pantry.
((Flashily create an advantage to place the prep aspect Fair-Folk's Flight Filigree on the scene))
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: !f 3
DiscoDude: ;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾ rolled 4dF+3 for 0 [4dF = [-][-][-][ ]]
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((What is with my luck today?))
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((Invoking Tako-San's Carrot for a reroll.))
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: !f 3
DiscoDude: ;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾ rolled 4dF+3 for 5 [4dF = [+][-][+][+]]
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((Much better.))
Ryusui|GM: (indeed XD)
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((Double free invoke, I believe.))
Ryusui|GM: (yep, SWS)
Ryusui|GM: (...t'be clear, you needed to make the dish aspect first, and then the flair aspect, but i'll let it slide this first time)
Ryusui|GM: (the two have to happen on separate exchanges)
Vera: (OH! Never mind, then.)
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((OH! It's a Flair aspect for each dish?))
Ryusui|GM: (lemme go over it again: your dish needs a Flair aspect, which represents something extra you do with one of the dish aspects)
Vera: (Let’s assume she made all the right measurements that it’ll come out tasting okay - at least good enough for Value:2, anyway - even if she hasn’t quite gotten to the execution.)
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((Then I just cheated myself out of a completed dish.))
Vera: (I mean, I guess you can plate with flair?)
Ryusui|GM: (...a plating aspect can't be Flair'd; it's the final aspect that finishes off a dish)
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((I think I need to stop after this exchange. My mind's slipping faster than I thought.))
Vera: (So wait, are they two parts of the same action or two separate actions?)
Vera: (I meant “use the Flair aspect AS the plating aspect,” not “use your Flair action ON the plating aspect.”)
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((The Flair is in addition to everything else, if I'm understanding this correctly.))
Ryusui|GM: (yes, flair is like...an additional aspect, but its difficulty + value is tied to an existing aspect you've made)
Vera: (Like, you flair a non-plating aspect, but the resulting aspect made by flairing it is used as the plating aspect?)
Ryusui|GM: (no, i mean, the plating aspect has to be done separately)
Vera: (Okay?)
Ryusui|GM: (so you have to make three aspects, minimum - main dish, a flair aspect, and a plating aspect)
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((Thus the "incomplete dish" comment.))
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((Three aspects in five exchanges, when I planned for only two aspects.))
Ryusui|GM: (if you'd like to go back and change your action for this turn, i'll allow it)
Ryusui|GM: (if you were legit confused what was expected of you this challenge, that's on me, not you)
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((Uh-oh! Now I want Fair-Folk's Flight Filigree to be the Flair aspect, but that's at odds with not having a main dish aspect yet.))
Ryusui|GM: (well, do like Vera and save it for Exchange 4)
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((That seems impractical given that the difficulty will be adjusted retroactively.))
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((I'll still take it if you're still offering.))
Vera: (I’ll say that I was planning to do another “whoops >:)” after I had completed my dish, but I too miscalculated (though mine was that I thought flair was attempted in the same exchange as the aspect one flairs).)
Ryusui|GM: (i am)
Ryusui|GM: (again, this is an entirely experimental mechanic and i'm not going to screw people over because i didn't explain what i had in mind properly ^_^:)
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((I had forgotten there was a new mechanic entirely.))
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((Regardless, I guess I only have to go for half-an-hour more.))
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((Margen; Margen still needs to take their action.))
Vera: (So wait, what’s Tako-san’s new action?)
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((Fair-Folk's Flight Filigree is now a flair aspect instead of a prep aspect.))
Margen: (sorry I had to grab things for my mom when she got home)
Ryusui|GM: (you need to make it after making a dish aspect)
Ryusui|GM: (you pick a dish aspect you've already made and roll against its value to make a flair aspect)
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((You said you were offering to let us make it now.))
Ryusui|GM: (oh, whoop)
Ryusui|GM: (all right, but remember it's backwards - your dish aspect will need to be made keyed to the flair aspect's value)
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((How would the key'ing work normally? I don't remember you specifying that.))
Ryusui|GM: (i said it several times: you make the dish aspect, then you roll against the value with a reality approach to make the flair aspect)
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((Thank you; sorry.))
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((Maybe I do need to stop early.))
Margen: (that refresher helps me too, actually)
Margen: (ok)
Margen: Margen's eyes are watering rather badly at this point, but he manages to prepare some miniscule snifters from the cabinet, prepare a (hopefully fairly stable) pyramid of glasses, and fill it with pyrohol (Spicy 3)
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: (("Snifters"?))
Margen: To make a Glurrid Pyrohol Pyramid ||to be set alight in short order||
(Brandy glasses)
Margen: !f 2 (Spicy)
DiscoDude: Margen rolled 4dF+2 for 2 [4dF = [ ][ ][ ][ ]]
Margen: (uh-oh...)
Margen: (hm)
Margen: (oh drat, this is an appetizer not a side)
Margen: ((or plating))
Margen: (I'm not sure what to do here, I have Fate points but it doesn't look like I have any relevant stunts to boost at the moment; I guess I could invoke the Sauceror (Subschool: Brewing) to reroll, perhaps.)
Margen: (Does High Concept work here?)
Vera: (+2 is better.)
Margen: (oh, I have the ingredient. That totally slipped my mind, I'll go with that.)
Margen, remembering tricks from his Great Aunt, the Astounding Zxxzxz herself, goes all-in on the pour and fountains the liquor from one glass to the next.
Vera: (+2 will get you the win, yeah.)
Margen: The pyramid erupts with a shimmer of alcohol gas.
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((I believe that just leaves Dovelia and the Aurum Chef; Ryusui|GM))
Margen: Margen giggles excitedly, he's never actually done this next part before.
Ryusui|GM: (i do believe it does)
Margen: he can barely see though, so he's going to take a minute.
Ryusui|GM: The Aurum Chef smiles as she seizes several vegetables out several pantries and sets to work dicing them, not even bothering to put them on the cutting board - just straight-up tossing them behind her with one hand, then cutting them into tiny cubes with two more. Together, they will make a delicious [Star Fish Ceviche (Cool): 4]!
Ryusui|GM: !f 2 (Cool)
DiscoDude: Ryusui|GM rolled 4dF+2 for 3 [4dF = [+][ ][ ][ ]]
Ryusui|GM: (and spending the invoke on the Star Fish ftw)
Ryusui|GM: On the cutting board is a ceviche worthy of her House Chef title. Yet there is still more she can do with it...
Ryusui|GM: Dovelia, meanwhile, is trying to keep her senses coherent long enough to prepare a batch of [Exoplanetary Stuffed Mushrooms (Savory): 4]*. The filling is in the caps, the oven is ready...now here's hoping she saw the dials correctly through all the stinging spice-induced tears she's trying to blink through.
Ryusui|GM: !f 2 (Savory)
DiscoDude: Ryusui|GM rolled 4dF+2 for 1 [4dF = [-][ ][+][-]]
Ryusui|GM: (...and spending the two invokes on the mushroom caps)
Ryusui|GM: The smell tells her everything she needs to know before she even opens the door. At least that's still working. She still has to add some flair for the judges, but the food itself looks delightful.
Ryusui|GM: (last lines, Chefs (Hiatus)?)
Vera: (Nope.)
;}"÷™+╎®^★█¬ˇ¾: ((:asdf_potato_with_gun: Not today.))
Ryusui|GM: "Three exchanges into the first course and it looks like there may already be blood on the kitchen floor! Will anyone* survive this exciting first round? Stay tuned - we'll be right back with more kitchen carnage!"
Ryusui|GM: !end
