DiscoDude: ---BEGIN SESSION---
DiscoDude: Session logging commenced
Ryusui|GM: "Organics and synthoids! Matter-forms and energy beings! It's the moment you've all been waiting for! The latest season of URANIUM CHEF has begun!"
Ryusui|GM: The camera cuts to the shuttlecraft, delivering the latest challengers for the competition. The landing ramp descends in a dramatic cloud of smoke, and the competitors walk down towards the massive red carpet leading straight to KItchen Arena.
Ryusui|GM: "First, we have Vera Steinbeck! She's a [Space-Ghoul Line Cook] who's 'looking for a change of pace'!"
Ryusui|GM: The camera's on you, <@!Vera>!
Vera: "Uh, okay- Doing me first, then?" Vera cracks out a kink in her neck. "I've got over half a decade of experience, let's see... That should inspire confidence, right? ... Wait, who is this for? Do I get an advantage or something if I answer good?"
(Does questioning the questions thrust into her face count as CLEVER?)
Ryusui|GM: (...yes XD)
Vera: !f 3 (CLEVER)
DiscoDude: <@Vera> rolled 4dF+3 for 1 [4dF = [-][-][ ][ ]]
Vera: (Vs. 0, right?)
Ryusui|GM: (let's say yes)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Success with style.))
Vera: (Normal success; the result was 1.)
Vera: So, it seems the audience appreciated her Cold Opener to start the season off. (That good?)
Ryusui|GM: (sure XD)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Oops! I read the roll as the result.))
Ryusui|GM: "Next is an unusual one!" The camera pans over to what looks less like a single chef and more like a crowd of attractive young women carrying a multi-tentacled gastropod in a fishtank. "Ostensibly from up-and-coming Planet Earth, he seeks to expand his chain of Mexican-Japanese fusion restaurants to the intergalactic market! Heeeeere's Tako-san!"
Ryusui|GM: ( <@!;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾>, the camera's on you! )
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: "Tankyu! Tankyu! Gurad to be he'e!" Tako-San hops on top the head of the near woman to give the camera's a better look at who's actually the chef in the situation. Complete with half their tentacles contributing to a "Y" shape that humans often perform to acknowledge a crowd.
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: !f 3 (Flashily creating an advantage)
DiscoDude: <@;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾> rolled 4dF+3 for 7 [4dF = [+][+][+][+]]
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Whoo!))
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Are we still using the eclipse rules?))
Ryusui|GM: (i mean, hell, why not)
Vera: (*shrugs* I dunno if you should be able to get effectively a double SWS.)
Ryusui|GM: (let's just say you get two popularity aspects and rollllll on)
Ryusui|GM: (one with a double invoke, for the SWS)
Ryusui|GM: (the other regular)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: Holly: "Tako-San has really made an Outstanding First-Impression [!], and, my, how The Camera Just Loves Him! [!!]"
Ryusui|GM: "Next we have...a Glurrid! I think we've only ever had one or two of these before! His name is Margen Phtangg, and he's a...-a sound of notes being shuffled- a Prime Fluidic Recipe Master! Whatever that is!"
Ryusui|GM: (camera's on you, <@!Margen>; also, might wanna nick up)
Margen: Margen flibbers his tendrils
"Greetings and many hellos, I am Margen, a Glurrid specializing in sauce!"
Ryusui|GM: (gimme a roll for your popularity aspect!)
Margen: !f 3 (Careful)
DiscoDude: <@Margen> rolled 4dF+3 for 2 [4dF = [-][ ][-][+]]
Vera: (Careful in a "holding the cards close to their chest" way or an "endearingly cute" way?)
Margen: (endearing)
Ryusui|GM: (well, that's a win; name your popularity aspect ;))
Ryusui|GM: "Finally, we have a familiar face to longtime fans of the show: Greto Sleewa, several-time competitor and occasional season champion!" The camera pans over the alien grey, who looks back with evident disdain, like he's done this song and dance too many times to give it the time of day. It's a calculated move.
Ryusui|GM: !f 2 (Clever)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+2 for 2 [4dF = [+][-][-][+]]
Ryusui|GM: And the audience snaps it up; he is clearly [Too Cool for This Simple Game].
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: A very quickly aborted scream can be just barely heard from Tako-San's direction.
Margen: The crowd seems relaxed by Margen's [Endearing Nature]
Ryusui|GM: "And as for me..." The camera spins around to reveal a holographic projection suspended in midair. "Hi! As always, I'm Holly-Go-Lightwave, your holographic host! And now, we move on to the next part of the proceedings..."
Ryusui|GM: A quick cut (or is it an actual time jump?) later, and the camera is on the door to the Suites as the contestants enter, most for the first time.
Ryusui|GM: "Our contestants are free to take advantage of the amenities here between cook-offs. They shouldn't get too comfortable, though - getting comfortable is the last thing you want to do in a high-stakes competition like this!"
Ryusui|GM: There's three areas: the shared Living Room/Kitchen area, the individual Bedrooms, and the Bathrooms, each one shared by two Bedrooms.
Ryusui|GM: Any folks want to chat and/or stir up some trouble before things continue?
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: Tako-San's going to be occupied with trying to calm down the near-hysterical Rachelle.
Vera: Vera will be in her room, feeling up that hotel mattress goodness.
(If no one wants to declare that their character is her roommate, she'll be fending off Greto's preliminary moves as well.)
Ryusui|GM: all right, RG, that's gonna be a roll then
Ryusui|GM: or else that's gonna be an aspect you're gonna be working against XD
Ryusui|GM: <@!Margen>?
Vera: (If someone else wants a piece of Greto, then... I guess she's just chillin'. XD)
Margen: Margen will attempt to figure out how to get comfortable on a bed that isn't round
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((O....K.... Using this scene's use of “Could You Do This for Me, Darling.” to say that it's a group effort, giving Tako-San a +1 teamwork bonus.))
Vera: (So it's me with the grey, then...)
Ryusui|GM: (actually, I think I'm gonna have him try to go after Margen, but if Vera wants to interrupt that... XD)
Vera: (Both her and Margen are just trying to get comfortable, so unless they're sharing a room...)
Margen: He will eventually move about the building after trying several iterations of "square bed, radial symmetry" with varying degrees of humorousness
Ryusui|GM: "You there." Greto intrudes on your attempts to make yourself comfortable. "Just what sort of game do you think you're playing."
Vera: (Oh, uh... That's some bad timing there. XD)
Margen: "One where we cook and try to make some friends, if the forms were accurate" the Glurrid says while standing on its head, legs to the ceiling
Ryusui|GM: "Your impressions of these proceedings are...comically off. I find it difficult to believe you are, in fact, quite as dim-witted as you present yourself."
Ryusui|GM: (gonna compel a Face-Off here!)
Ryusui|GM: !f 2 (Clever)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+2 for 1 [4dF = [-][ ][ ][ ]]
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: "Réichu! Réichu! Calm down! You will be fine; do not have to be around grey alien as much as Ai do. You have more freedom of movement than Ai."
One of the other tank girls chimes in with some humor Rachelle might appreciate. "Ironic given Tako-San have fewer bones."
That seems to get a muted chuckle out of Rachelle.
Tako-San adds, "Go see your kids. I'm sure Chéru will let you into the audience-only area."
"Cherry?" Rachelle chokes.
"Hai! Teh Chéru Wumaan."
"Oh. Sure."
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((I want to just use Flashy, but I have a feeling that'll be veto'd.))
Ryusui|GM: (just roll with it XD)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: !f 4 (Flashily overcome with teamwork)
DiscoDude: <@;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾> rolled 4dF+4 for 2 [4dF = [ ][-][ ][-]]
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Wait; I forgot to ask for the passive opposition first.))
Ryusui|GM: (that's fine XD)
Ryusui|GM: (you got it )
Margen: As he listens, his face becomes an upside-down frown. As he rotates down to the floor, his face turns to right-side-up smile. "I am not dim as you imply, simply optimistic."
(Careful here?)
Ryusui|GM: (i'll allow it!)
Margen: !f (Careful)
DiscoDude: <@Margen> rolled 4dF for 0 [4dF = [ ][+][-][ ]]
Ryusui|GM: (i think you forgot to add your Careful score)
Vera: (You gotta beat 1.)
Vera: (Ah.)
Margen: (Oh whups +3)
Ryusui|GM: (so yeah you actually win that XD)
Ryusui|GM: (let's call that [Simply Optimistic] XD)
Margen: (sounds good to me)
Ryusui|GM: Greto seems flummoxed by your refusal to break in the face of his incisive, if likely misguided, analysis. He says nothing further, just turns on his heel and leaves, somewhat [Strained].
Ryusui|GM: (so are <@&627978553669058562> ready to move on? :3)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Yeah.))
Vera: "Sho comfy..."
Vera's having a good time so far, it seems!
Vera: (I'm good.)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((I wait to say that the walls are thin enough that Vera caught wind of some of the hysteria.))
Vera: (I mean, if Margen and Greto are roommates... oh.)
Ryusui|GM: (there's bedrooms for everyone)
Ryusui|GM: (no one has to share a bedroom)
Ryusui|GM: (it's the bathrooms that are shared)
Vera: (Got it.)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Lightbulb moment: Takon-San sleeps in the sink.))
Ryusui|GM: (XD XD XD)
Ryusui|GM: "And now..."
Ryusui|GM: Time skips forward again, and the camera circles around the legendary, the fabled, the dreaded battleground of Kitchen Arena. "Here we are at Kitchen Arena!" Holly's voice rings out. "As always, the arena consists of a ring of six cooking stations surrounding a central area! The center is where anything goes, and it's where our contestants will vie for the secret ingredients each round - against not only each other, but sometimes against the ingredients themselves!"
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: Tako-San chuckes; "Ai been both sides of that conflict."
Vera: "Mood."
Margen: Margen nods in solemn solidarity
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((The idea for Tako-San as a character originates from someone finding a whole octopus in a sushi shop, pressing their face to glass, then getting jump-scared by the live specimen.))
Ryusui|GM: At the moment, the center of the arena contains a pedestal covered in an ornate sheet of violet material. And out from behind the pedestal, striding like she owns the place - which she does - walks Chairwoman Maalu herself.
Vera: (I assume no one has anything to add here?)
Ryusui|GM: She smirks as she surveys the four of you. "Competitors. Most of you fresh to the arena, one of you..." She gives Greto a look that might be a raised eyebrow, if her mask didn't obscure her eyes. "...a noteworthy veteran of Kitchen Arena. All of you, however, I presume, are familiar with what we do here, correct?"
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: "O' course, Chéru."
Vera: "We gotta cook... dishes? Better dishes than anyone else." Vera looks around. "Is... No joke, is this a trick question?"
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: "Wii aso fight to ruin otha's dishes."
Vera: "Uhhhh nope, pretty sure other dishes are off-limits. There was definitely the word 'fight' mentioned somewhere, though."
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: "Finished dishes."
Vera: "Especially those..."
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: Tako-San does the best "Are you serious?" face a cephalopod can pull off.
Vera: (You just having a hard time with grammar today, <@!;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾>, or is Vera not quite understanding what Tako says gonna be a running gag? XD)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Tako-San was trying to correct Vera by specifying that only finished dishes can't be tampered with; incomplete ones are Fair (+2) game.))
Vera: (I realize the intent, but that's not how it came out. XD)
Vera: (Let's proceed.)
Ryusui|GM: The chairman smirks. "You do have the general gist of things, then. Good. In that case..."
Ryusui|GM: She snaps her fingers, and the material covering the pedestal dissolves in a carpet of blue flame. This reveals an enclosure containing several tall, fleshy, tube-like creatures; the upper end consists of a mouth-like aperture ringed by three large eyestalks. They bob around serenely.
Ryusui|GM: "Zykarvian Fluke-Tubers. Peaceful, intelligent. Also very much not the actual secret ingredient for our initial quick-fire cook-off. However..."
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: Tako-San breathes a noticeable sigh of relief.
Ryusui|GM: The Chairwoman holds up a glistening ovoid shape, about the size of an ostrich egg. "Their pearls are a different story. A Zykarvian Fluke-Pearl is a remarkable ingredient; [Cool] is its essential nature, but it is usable in a wide variety of culinary applications." As you watch, she twirls her finger around what looks like the solid top of the orb; it dissolves into something like whipped cream, never losing its pearlescent sheen.
Vera: "I will never get tired of watching videos of that..."
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: "Inturiging!" Tako-San says with fascination in their voice.
Margen: Margen's eyes glitter with potential shimmering sauces
Ryusui|GM: "This round, you will be required to make a [Cool] dish of some description using a Fluke-Pearl as a key ingredient. Obtaining said pearls will, of course, be a challenge I leave to you. I will give you one clue, however: the Fluke-Tubers are not known to respond well to force."
Ryusui|GM: "Now...Commencez a creer!"
Ryusui|GM: EXCHANGE 1/5
Vera: (How many exchanges?)
Ryusui|GM: (i realize i did not have her mention so i put the number there XD)
Ryusui|GM: "And there you have it, fans! The competition has started!" Holly chimes in. "The competitors have five standard time units to A. obtain a Fluke-Pearl, B. make a [Cool] dish using it, and C. plate it for the judge!"
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: "Daisy, dear, Ai could use a boosut into the other tank. While Ai'm the'e, I'll need you to set up my sutation."
"Which one, sir."
"Any will do, jusut make sure no else has it."
Tako-San will be in the center zone, while using “Could You Do This for Me, Darling.” To both create a prep aspect at the nearest station and claim the secret ingredient.
At the Fluke-Tuber (Sounds like vlogger that's obtained a statistically anomalous career success.), Tako-San is just straight-up climbs inside the tank and starts conversing with them to placate the alien sea creature into willingly giving up a pearl.
At the station, Daisy is pulling out the utensils and arranging them just how Tako-San taught her: to look like and the kana for Tako-no-Taco.
Ryusui|GM: Zykarvian Fluke-Pearls
Aspects: Protected By Fleshy Tube, All-Purpose Culinary Colloid
Natural Flavor: Cool
Difficulty: Average (+1)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: !f 3 (Flashily creating an advantage by sweet-talking the Fluke-Tuber)

Ryusui|GM: (wait, what was that?)
Ryusui|GM: (why'd you roll twice, for two Create Advantage actions)
Vera: (It's a stunt.)
Margen: (The Discord double-post bug?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((“Could You Do This for Me, Darling.”))
Margen: (blargh, parentheses)(oh ok)
Ryusui|GM: (OH)
Ryusui|GM: (mb)
Ryusui|GM: (so that's a success with style on the ingredient-get, and a normal success on the product placement!)
Ryusui|GM: (i should also clarify that while the fluke-tubers are normally aquatic they're here on dry land, but that doesn't really affect your action XD)
Ryusui|GM: The Fluke-Tuber croons with delight at your overtures, Tako-san. It eagerly regurgitates one of its choicest pearls for your use - you can tell from the slightly more silvery sheen!
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: Daisy manages to get the Cheeky Utensil Placement set up in time.
Vera: Vera strides up to the enclosure, craning a lanky leg up to the rim, pulling herself upright - Look ma, no hands! - and dropping down. For a moment, she stares in Tako's direction.
"Yeah... that's not gonna work for me." She gets down, raising her hands in pinching motions. "Late-night nature documentaries, don't fail me now..."
(Gonna use some CLEVER pressure points and massages to trigger some involuntary action in these tubes!)
Vera: !f 3 (CLEVER)
DiscoDude: <@Vera> rolled 4dF+3 for 3 [4dF = [-][+][ ][ ]]
Ryusui|GM: (oh that's beautiful)
Ryusui|GM: The tuber squeaks appreciatively! Out pops another fluke-pearl - not quite as shiny or showy as the one Tako-san earned, but a good-looking one nonetheless!
Margen: Margen scuttles methodically over to the central table and [Careful]ly examines the tubers, interacting with them in various ways to see if they can be coaxed to disgorge their pearls.
Vera: "We take those."
Margen: !f 3 (CAREFUL)
DiscoDude: <@Margen> rolled 4dF+3 for 3 [4dF = [-][ ][ ][+]]
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: Tako-San, climbing out of the Fluke-Tuber's tank and back into their own as Vera does the reverse; "Ai know you'a not hyumaan, but Ai have neva seen a veruteburate stretch that far."
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: Tako-San then plops back into their tank with a splash and pushes of the Fluke-Tuber's to let the polish arena floor carry them back to their station with Daisy.
Ryusui|GM: Margen, your experimental poking and prodding eventually bears fruit: something you touch prompts the tuber to let out a high-pitched happy squeal, and nearly deposit a pearl straight on top of your head. (It's still perfectly intact!)
Margen: Margen claps once with joy.
Ryusui|GM: Greto has been holding back this entire time to keep from divulging any of his secrets. With surgical precision, he prods one of the other fluke-tubers in key strategic places.
Ryusui|GM: !f 2 (Clever)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+2 for 2 [4dF = [ ][+][ ][-]]
Vera: (I'll excuse the double move action if it's flavor only. XD)
Ryusui|GM: It's enough. The tuber gives a perfunctory squeak, then out pops a fluke-pearl.
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Oops! Yeah, I guess Daisy used their move to get to the station separately.))
Vera: "Not stretchy, just flexible." This statement seems to contradict her perpetually stiff posture.
Vera: (So... Exchange changeover?)
Ryusui|GM: (if everyone's done! XD)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Yeah.))
Vera: (Which Station did Daisy go to?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((I didn't specify, since it was the first one to be occupied, and thus would be the reference point for everyone else.))
Vera: (I like using numbers instead of "the one two to the right of Tako and one to the left of Greto.")
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((1, then.))
Ryusui|GM: EXCHANGE 2/5
Vera: Vera hops out of the dry tank and ponders her situation, not moving from Center Arena just yet.
"Okay, I have the thing... Now; what do? Use your head." Ghouls tend to get lost in thought, but usually in productive ways. Vera, for instance, walks over to the lardertron, places a hand-notebook on its counter, and twirls a golf pencil in her free hand while trying to think of what to make of this ingredient.
(CLEVERLY making a recipe prep aspect.)
Vera: (First one of the cook-off for me means it's at Average (+1) difficulty, right?)
Vera: (<@!Ryusui|GM>?)
Ryusui|GM: (okay, so, you're using the Lardertron, so that means you're trying to get a specific ingredient of a specific flavor out)
Vera: (Actually, no, I'm not.)
Vera: (I'm just borrowing its surface as something to rest the notepad on.)
Ryusui|GM: (oh XD)
Ryusui|GM: (yeah, go ahead; normally this would require you to be at a cooking station but what you're doing makes sense anywhere)
Vera: !f 3 (CLEVER)
DiscoDude: <@Vera> rolled 4dF+3 for 2 [4dF = [-][ ][ ][ ]]
Vera: (Normal success, which is like a SWS with my Order Up! stunt.)
Ryusui|GM: (oh shit, nice)
Vera: "Okay, so," she takes a tiny taste. "Ah yep, that is certainly what COOL tastes like. Not very sweet, so... hm, might make a good contrast with something really heavy. Like, 'dark-matter chocolate' heavy." She starts scribbling a Death by Chocolate Cake (+ Topping) Recipe [!!].
Ryusui|GM: (also slight correction: the dish must contain at least one [Cool] aspect)
Ryusui|GM: (the main dish does not need to be Cool)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: Tako-San comes carting towards the station, and Daisy manages to stop the cart before it crashes into the counter.
"You really shouldn't do that Tako-San!"
"Yu caught mii, did yu not."
"...."
"Let us gettu cooking!"
"Yes, sir."
Tako-San hops onto the counter an starts taking apart the utensil display to begin processing the other ingredients in the pantry; aiming for nice Pepper-And-Wasabi Cores.

;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Same as if I pulled two +2's.))
Margen: Margen will take whichever station is unoccupied when he's done grabbing an armload of Gloopy Farms EZ-Melt Par-Denatured Pot Roast and some Arrakeen Spice from the Pantry, as well as some legendary Onion Hepta-isolate (powerful Savory ingredient) from the Lardertron
Vera: (Gonna have to roll for that last one vs. +0 difficulty (as that's always the difficulty for the Lardertron). The other two don't count as aspects, but you don't need permission to use beef and a normal spice rack.)
Margen: (Nah, they're just associated flavor for the gathering of stuff)
Margen: (onion powder is the special one here)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Pretty sure a geriatric, prescience drug is not "normal" spice.))
Vera: (Yeah, the DUNE spice is not literally spice, Thor. XD)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((I thought it was; just spice with superpowers.))
Margen: (okay it can just be tarragon and stuff but they do mention that it's good on food)
Vera: (Anyway, your description sounds like you were going pretty QUICK there. Is that the Approach you're using for the Lardertron?)
Margen: (Yeah, that sounds like a Quick (+2) action)
Ryusui|GM: it gives you an aspect
Ryusui|GM: but it can only be used for making dish aspects of the matching flavor
Ryusui|GM: so like
Ryusui|GM: Greto's going to grab something Savory from the Lardertron

Ryusui|GM: (eh, i'm thinking mostly that in-setting it suggests he's skilled at using this kind of hardware)
Ryusui|GM: (i mean)
Ryusui|GM: (any "Chef" high concept would apply for that)
Vera: (Ah. XD)
Ryusui|GM: (it'd be like using an FP on a "chef" aspect to finagle a stuck refrigerator door)
Ryusui|GM: (what kind of chef doesn't know how to operate a fridge? XD)
Vera: (I said "ah.")
Ryusui|GM: When he's done, the only hint he leaves of his presence is the powerful pungent odor of that sharp cheese.
Ryusui|GM: (i think that's everyone? ready for the next exchange, <@&627978553669058562>?)
Vera: Vera snorts her nostril slits.
"Er... Aw, gross, dude!"
Vera: (Yeah, I'm ready. XD)
Ryusui|GM: EXCHANGE 3/5
Ryusui|GM: Greto wastes no time taking over Station 4, as far away from the octopus and his retinue as possible, and begins blending together his [Aged Cosmocheddar (Savory)] and about half of his Fluke-Pearl into a [Cosmopearl Quiche (Savory): 5].
Ryusui|GM: !f 3 (Sour; using "Marinade Master" to substitute Sour for Savory)

Vera: (I mean, I think it's implied that if it's "because he's a master of marinades," then it would only apply to stuff where he... uses marinades. We can debate it later, though; I'll let it slide for now.)
Ryusui|GM: (thx)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: Tako-San starts pulling together a Savory Maze Wrapping (Savory:2) for some of the cores.
Vera: Vera still lingers at the lardertron.
"Got the plan, now I just need the materials." As a veteran of kitchen staples, she expertly navigates various menus to try and find some of that elusive BITTER Dark-Matter Chocolate.
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: !f 2 (creating a Savory:2 advantage)
DiscoDude: <@;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾> rolled 4dF+2 for 2 [4dF = [-][ ][ ][+]]

DiscoDude: <@Vera> rolled 4dF+3 for 3 [4dF = [-][-][+][+]]
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Success on ties, right? No cost?))
Vera: (Yeah. Also, SWS for me! Woo!)
Vera: (... Was that a side or plating, RG?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Side.))
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Sorry.))
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((We continuing?))
Margen: (typing frantically)
Margen: Margen grabs green 'beans' from the pantry and maneuvers to his station. After starting the Pot Roast (Savory:5 main dish) to bubbling in a(n) ceramic crucible indirect ("slow") cooker, he starts dry-roasting the Arrakeen Green Beans with a bit of butter (a Spicy:2 side dish). (I feel like this is definitely more than one action, but I want to get my plan in place)
Margen: !f 3 (SAVORY versus 5)
DiscoDude: <@Margen> rolled 4dF+3 for 3 [4dF = [-][+][ ][ ]]
Margen: (going to need that onion powder after all)
Vera: (You need to invoke at least once for the victory.)
Vera: (Using the free invoke on it?)
Margen: (yep)
Margen: (so 3 + 2 vs 5, tie)
Vera: (Success. Do you want to describe the victory, or shall we move straight to the next Exchange?)
Margen: The roast reduces to a goopy consistency, transforming from a solid meat block down into a puddle.
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((That sounds vaguely disgusting.))
Margen: (But it smells amazing)
Vera: (Now we're cooking with alien gases!)
Vera: (I believe that's everyone, <@!Ryusui|GM>. Exchange 4?)
Ryusui|GM: (yep!)
Ryusui|GM: EXCHANGE 4/5
Margen: The Glurrid sauceror spins to the chef station ovens, and begins prep on some (Spicy:2) Arrakeen Green Beans
Vera: "A'ight, showtime..." Vera takes her ingredients back to Station 2. "Only left myself enough time for two elements. I gotta get the layers for the flourless Death by Dark-Matter Cake - BITTER (Value:8) thoroughly creamed and condensed and in the oven stat." It's a lot of complicated proportions and times.
Vera: !f 3 (BITTER)
DiscoDude: <@Vera> rolled 4dF+3 for 1 [4dF = [-][-][ ][ ]]
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: Tako-San whips up some Bitter Seaweed Wraps for the remaining chili cores.
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: !f 1 (creating a Bitter:2 advantage)
DiscoDude: <@;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾> rolled 4dF+1 for 3 [4dF = [ ][ ][+][+]]
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Got it!))
Vera: (Invoking the chocolate three times (with a fate point) and one invoke on the recipe.)
Vera: "A'ight, go go go..." She just barely gets them into the triplet convection ovens in time for them to bake!
Margen: !f 2 (SPICY vs 2)
DiscoDude: <@Margen> rolled 4dF+2 for 1 [4dF = [ ][-][-][+]]
Vera: (Assuming the target score was what you posted before, you need to boost.)
Vera: (<@!Margen>, did you mean to use your Threading the Gaps in Scents On the Wind stunt here?)
Margen: (yes)
Vera: (Describe your success (and refresh us on what the dish is).)
Margen: (bringing it up to +3 vs 2 as nobody used Spicy last round)
Margen tosses some brownish powder onto a tray of roasted Arrakeen green beans, and the air above them momentarily shimmers blue as small amounts of the Spices are burned off by the oven. The pungency can be felt in your eyes and nose a little, but they're appealing nonetheless.
Vera: (Personally, I think using that particular spice would require a trip to the Lardertron, but we can let that slide this time.)
Margen: (Oh it wasn't supposed to be enough to have any special effects)
Ryusui|GM: As for Greto, he's turned a small amount of his remaining Fluke-Pearl into a whipped topping for his Cosmopearl Quiche.
Ryusui|GM: (attempting to make [Whipped Pearl Topping (Cool): 5])
Ryusui|GM: !f 2 (Cool)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+2 for 2 [4dF = [-][+][+][-]]
Vera: ("A smaller amount" doesn't negate its rarity.)
Ryusui|GM: (going to spend the free invoke on the Pearl, and a FATE Point on it to get the win)
Margen: (it's supposed to a cheeky alternative to cayenne (or more appropriately saffron) but I get where you're coming from)
Vera: (Is that plating, GM?)
Ryusui|GM: (it's a side; i want to add one more little thing for the plating)
Ryusui|GM: (so everyone's done?)
Vera: (I think <@!;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾> still needs to do something?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Nope; acted top of the round.))
Vera: (Oh, nevermind, I missed it. Is that plating, RG?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((No; I thought I specified that.))
Vera: (Got it.)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((A little miffed at the question, but moving on.))
Margen: (so what is up next?)
Vera: (Exchange 5.)
Margen: (Ah, plating.)
Ryusui|GM: EXCHANGE 5/5
Ryusui|GM: Greto's expression is unreadable as he prepares the finishing touch on his dish.
Ryusui|GM: (going for [Garnished with Premium Shadeleaf (Bitter): 2])
Ryusui|GM: !f 2 (Bitter)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+2 for 4 [4dF = [-][+][+][+]]
Ryusui|GM: A single dark vegetable leaf, artfully placed upright in the topping, completes the quiche's presentation.
Margen: Margen is going to manufacture a large batch of [Whipped Pearltato], using the entire Fluke-Pearl (and a sufficient quantity of butter)
Vera: (What value?)
Margen: (Cool vs 2 with a +2 for the pearl)
Margen: !f 2 (Cool)
DiscoDude: <@Margen> rolled 4dF+2 for 0 [4dF = [-][ ][-][ ]]
Margen: (+2 from the pearl invoke for a 2 vs 2, tie)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: Tako-San finally cracks into the pearl, sculpting it into a magnificent image of, not himself (vanity is not his vice), but of a particularly well-fit member of the same species; an Edible Cephodonis Horderve Holder, so to speak.
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: !f 3 (placing a Cool:4 plating aspect)
DiscoDude: <@;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾> rolled 4dF+3 for 2 [4dF = [-][ ][+][-]]
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Invoking High Concept.))
Margen: Gently, Margen unspools the fluke-pearl into a mixing bowl, liberating it into a fine fluff. Folding with butter and cream, he makes a fluffy platform of Whipped Pearltato on a plate to be filled with the rich gravy that used to be a whole roast.
Vera: While the cakes finish cooking, Vera moves to whip up Strawberries and Pearl-Jam Cream - COOL (Value:5). Luckily, the pearl doesn't need any additional sugar to whip up some pocketed air - and it'll still retain its sheen!
"If I'm not done with this before that timer beeps, I am in just the deepest shit..."
Vera: !f 2 (COOL)
DiscoDude: <@Vera> rolled 4dF+2 for 3 [4dF = [ ][-][+][+]]
Vera: (Invoking the pearl for the tie.)
Vera: (Also, uh... <@!;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾>, you know you still had two invokes on the pearl you could have used, right?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((I guess I'll use one of those instead of a Fate point, then.))
Vera: "Okay, this is done," *beeeeeeeep! "and that's done. Let's start to finish this." With the strawberries chunked and imbedded inside the whipped pearl, she layers the heavy cake layers, spreads the cream over the top, and even has enough time to carve some reaching hand motifs into it with a butter knife - the kinds of hands you see at the end of very long, spindly arms - before cutting and plating a slice.
"F@#k! Done! W-woo!" Vera throws her fists up weakly in victory, before cradling them behind her head. "This... might be decadent enough to actually kill someone..."
Vera: (Is that the end of the Quick-Fire?)
Ryusui|GM: (seems like it? <@&627978553669058562>?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Ready!))
Margen: Margen lavishly dumps the EZ-Melt pot roast on the Pearltato whip and sprinkles Arrakeen Green Beans around the edge of the plate.
(Yep)
Margen: (Thought I'd posted that up with the pearl floof)
Margen: (ready btw)
Vera: (Ready.)
Ryusui|GM: The buzzer sounds!
Ryusui|GM: "All right, chefs! Time's up!" Holly announces.
Ryusui|GM: The lighting changes; the Fluke-Tubers disappear out of sight into a hole in the floor, and a new platform emerges, this one with the Chairwoman standing on it.
Ryusui|GM: "A rousing first bout," Chairwoman Maalu says, clapping. "Now, it is time to present your dishes for judgment."
Ryusui|GM: "Today, your judge will be a familiar face from previous seasons..."
Ryusui|GM: She gestures to the figure seated at the long table, normally sized for four judges, but a single judge is sufficient for this quick-fire challenge.
Ryusui|GM: A dark aqua-furred feline with an immaculate coif of pale aqua hair, dressed in an elegant longcoat that suggests something between a majordomo and an elite general. She's clearly no stranger to this arena. Her eyes lock with Greto's for a moment, and a palpable twinge of animosity pulses between them.
Ryusui|GM: "...Dovelia Brise!"
Ryusui|GM: Dovelia looks between the competitors, clearly somewhat jaded. She sighs: "Let's see what you've got, now."
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: Cutting to the on site televiewing rooms, Rachelle can be seen looking on with a proud smile on her face.
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: Daisy carts Tako-San up with the food sculpture holding more food wrapped in even more* food.
Ryusui|GM: "You, the eight-legged one. You're clearly eager. You can go first. What have you brought me?"
Vera: (Uh...)
Vera: (Oh, you did mean Tako.)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: "Ai have kureated this dish in the likéness of a mythicaa figure amongsut mai peopa."
Vera: Vera mutters quietly to herself: "Lots of octopus heroes over there on Earth...?"
Ryusui|GM: Dovelia looks rather perplexed, and taps the side of her head several times, as if trying to adjust her auto-translator in response to Tako's accent.
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: "About as many as hyumaan ones." Tako-San quips back.
Vera: (That was just to herself; Tako wasn't supposed to hear that.)
Ryusui|GM: (can you describe the dish in full? Its aspects, etc.?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: "He'e Ai have Pepper-Wasabi Cores in assoruted wrapus, inkuruding Savory Maze and Bitter Seeweed; all of wiich herud up bai the cepharapod likéness made furom the pearu."
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Starting to think typing out he accent in full is a bit much; I hope you all can infer it from here on out.))
Vera: (Yeah. Kinda messes with the new connection aspect idea I had, but go ahead.)
Ryusui|GM: (what are the individual scores?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Now I'm curious to know what it would have been.))
Vera: > Pepper-And-Wasabi Cores - SPICY (Value:4) | Savory Maze Wrapping - SAVORY (Value:2) | Bitter Seaweed Wraps - BITTER (Value:2) ^ Edible Cephodonis Horderve Holder - COOL (Value:4)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Thank you.))
Ryusui|GM: "Ah. Rather like a butter sculpture. I see." She takes a pair of chopsticks - she's grown rather deft with them - and plucks off some of the cores to sample, getting a bit of the sculpture itself as well.
Ryusui|GM: !f 4 (Judges' Impressions)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF+4 for 6 [4dF = [+][-][+][+]]
Ryusui|GM: (oops oops)
Ryusui|GM: (that was just supposed to be 4dF)
Ryusui|GM: (that's +2)
Vera: (+4, actually.)
Ryusui|GM: (no, i mean, the judge's roll is a 4dF roll, so +4 is 4 too many)
Ryusui|GM: (6 - 4 = 2)
Vera: (Ah, you meant the roll, not the bonus.)
Ryusui|GM: Dovelia's jaded look turns to curiosity and then to a wry smile. It is difficult to impress her, but you've done so. "Some would call such a presentation outre, but I'm no stranger to such elaborate concoctions myself. This is quite good." She seizes a few more cores and devours them quickly.
Ryusui|GM: (FINAL SCORE: 14)
Ryusui|GM: "Next, next. Hmm. You." She points at you, <@!Vera>.
Vera: "Oh- uh... Me, right. Coming forward and... doing the thing." Vera almost makes audible cranking noises as she forces herself to teeter up to the podium. Her dish (and the larger one with the rest of the cake) floats up behind her.
Vera: "Okay, so. It's not much to look at... I mean, unless it is, but whatever." She slaps her near-lack of cheeks. "Here we have a death by dark-matter chocolate cake, topped with strawberries and pearl-jam cream - got that shiny pearl center stage on the presentation. And I did a little reaching hand design in it - like it's grabbing a slice. Not a lot of moving parts, but it was a pretty involved process - you look like you got better places to be, so I won't bore you with the details. Enjoy."
Vera: > Death by Dark-Matter Cake - BITTER (Value:8) ^ Strawberries and Pearl-Jam Cream - COOL (Value:5)
Vera: (<@!Ryusui|GM>?)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Not the most self-confident fellow.))
Ryusui|GM: Dovelia looks over the cake with an artisan's eye. She's seen - and made - her share of cakes; it's difficult for one to excite or surprise her anymore, but it does happen. She takes a slice - respectfully opposite the reaching hand - and then takes a bite.
Ryusui|GM: !f (Judge's Impression)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF for 0 [4dF = [-][ ][+][ ]]
Vera: (Damn, lost to the dice gods.)
Vera: (Er, is it possible to use the free invoke on my recipe aspect?)
Ryusui|GM: (how would that work?)
Vera: (Like, she hands it to her, and maybe the complexity of the cake recipe itself impresses her?)
Ryusui|GM: (mmmh...i'm gonna say no; your stunt says you get a double-invoke on the aspect you made)
Ryusui|GM: (so i'm going to assume what you did was make a value: 4 cake aspect, and the stunt doubled it, correct?)
Vera: (What? No, I made a Value:8 cake. The second invoke was on a prep aspect. I mean that I wanted to boost her impression, like with a favorite flavor or dislike - you know, that.)
Ryusui|GM: (well, you don't know her favorite flavors or dislikes, so you can't invoke them)
Vera: (I meant "can I invoke a different aspect for the same effect?")
Ryusui|GM: (i...wait, what?)
Vera: (That's a "no" then?)
Ryusui|GM: (i think there's been a bit of confusion about how your stunt is phrased and how you actually used it?)
Ryusui|GM: (actually nvm i was the one who was confused)
Ryusui|GM: (may I continue with the judging?)
Vera: (Sure.)
Ryusui|GM: Dovelia swallows, and nods. "This is some quite excellent cake." She scoops up some of the cream to try on its own. "The fruit topping accentuates it quite nicely. The presentation is perhaps a touch macabre, but again, I'd be a hypocrite to dock points for it." There is approval in her voice; not quite delight.
Ryusui|GM: (FINAL SCORE: 13)
Vera: "Macabre...?"
Vera: Vera walks back to the group.
Ryusui|GM: "Next, ah." She looks at you, <@!Margen>. "What have you prepared?"
Margen: Hello! Tonight I have made a Reduction Pot Roast (SAVORY 5) and Arrakeen Green-Beans (SPICY 2), Served On a Bed of Whipped Pearlt-Tato (COOL 2)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: "It looks like a more angular version of my tentacles." Tako-San clarifies for Vera.
Vera: "Okay. Thanks?"
Ryusui|GM: Dovelia looks at the pot roast and wrinkles her brow. She clearly has reservations for this preparation, but she takes a spoon and digs in anyway.
Ryusui|GM: !f (Judge's Impression)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF for 0 [4dF = [ ][-][ ][+]]
Margen: (oof)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Could be worse.))
Margen: (right, negatives)
Ryusui|GM: Her lips purse at first, but she takes another bite, and then another. "It's better than it looks," she acknowledges. "Unique application of the Fluke-Pearl. I'm not sure this is quite my preference, but it's a well-crafted dish."
Ryusui|GM: "And finally, we have you." Her eyes narrow, and Greto returns the gesture. He approaches with his dish in hand.
Ryusui|GM: "This is a quiche prepared with aged cosmocheddar and fluke-pearl, with whipped pearl topping and - as a tribute - a garnish of shadeleaf." He bows stiffly, and steps away from the podium. Dovelia glares at the leaf, as if trying to decipher an enigmatic message, then shakes her head, takes a fork, and begins eating.
Ryusui|GM: `Cosmopearl Quiche (Savory): 5
- Whipped Pearl Topping (Cool): 5
- Garnished with Premium Shadeleaf (Bitter): 2`
Ryusui|GM: !f (Judge's Impression)
DiscoDude: <@Ryusui|GM> rolled 4dF for -1 [4dF = [ ][-][ ][ ]]
Ryusui|GM: "It's good. It's quite good. The leaf is a bit ostentatious, though. Doesn't belong with the dish at all." She pointedly plucks it off, then finishes the entire rest of the quiche, handing the empty plate back to Greto.
Ryusui|GM: (FINAL SCORE: 11)
Ryusui|GM: "All right, then. Ms. Brise, you've had a chance to sample all four competitors' dishes," Chairwoman Maalu announces. "I assume there is a clear winner among them?"
Ryusui|GM: Dovelia cocks her head to one side. "Not as clear as one might think. Two of the dishes were almost neck-and-neck in quality." The spotlights shine on Tako and Vera.
Vera: "Oh shit, spotlight..."
Ryusui|GM: "However! Despite their similar technical merits, only one chef's dish truly dazzled me. And that chef was..."
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((So the difference of 1 isn't enough to avoid a tie?))
Ryusui|GM: The spotlight over Vera switches off, leaving the one on over Tako.
Ryusui|GM: "...Tako-san."
Ryusui|GM: (i was playing it up like it was almost a tie, which it was XD)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: Tako and Daisy start clapping together.
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Ah.))
Vera: "Huh... I almost won that. Cool?"
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: "Nearly tying with anyone for first place is always an accomplishment." Tako-San affirms.
Ryusui|GM: (RG, take the popularity aspect [Unexpected Contender] for your win XD)
Margen: Margen also claps
Ryusui|GM: "However! The challenge isn't over!" Chairwoman Maalu says. Dovelia nods. "Indeed," she says. "The four of you have only completed the first challenge of this episode. The main attraction has yet to begin!"
Ryusui|GM: "But for now," the Chairwoman announces, "the four of you will have some time to rest before the next battle begins!"
Ryusui|GM: (so...we've been running for almost seven hours, unless i'm mistaken, and I think this would be a good place to cut things off for next time? XD)
Vera: (Yeah.)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((Sure.))
Vera: (We're starting in the green room next time, right?)
Margen: (It hasn't been...
Oh)
Margen: (it has been 7 hours)
Vera: (So... <@!Ryusui|GM>?)
Ryusui|GM: (last lines, everyone!)
;}"÷™+╎®♂★█¬ˇ¾: ((I'm Good (+3).))
Margen: (I missed nightfall because my back is to the wall and the curtains are closed)
(Yeah I'd be ok with ending here)
Vera: (Same, I got my last line out already.)
Ryusui|GM: "Don't touch that space-dial, Kitchen Arena fans! Uranium Chef will be right back after these messages!" Holly calls out.
Ryusui|GM: !end
