COOKING SHOW - 11AM PST - future is now

[idolpro]

[ Your unit-colored kitchen has all the basic necessities for cooking, but strangely, there's no refrigerator. There's just a table full of pebble-sized crystals. . . There are candies available in bins next to the crystals as well.

Though you can technically turn the stove on, you can't actually hurt yourself on it. It's like the flames are illusions. Huh.

Upon entering your unit-colored kitchen, you'll find that you can't see or hear anyone from any other kitchen. You're aware that this whole area is magically sight- and sound-proofed; no other unit will hear or see any conversation you have. ]

INSTRUCTIONS & RECIPE

[idolpro]

Today, you are making Salmon Quinoa! You will need the following ingredients:

• Quinoa (1 salty, 2 savory)
  
• Tomatoes (1 sweet, 1 sour, 1 savory)
  
• Salmon (1 salty, 2 savory)
  
• OPTIONAL: Cilantro (1 sour, 2 bitter)
  
• OPTIONAL: Cucumber (2 sweet, 1 bitter)

(Optional ingredients are there in case people show up late—they will otherwise not affect your score.)

Total Required (not including optional):

• 1 Sweet (happiness/excitement)
  
• 1 Sour (embarrassment/shame)
  
• 2 Salty (sadness/regret)
  
• 0 Bitter (anger/bitterness)
  
• 5 Savory (adrenaline/fear)

On the tables are pebble-sized crystals. Hold a handful of the crystals and share your memory (through talking or memoryshare candies) and the crystals will turn into that food!

Characters are aware that the cooking process will be done with guidance, so all they need to worry about are the ingredients. Tasteless ingredients such as flour and cornstarch will be provided for them, so those ingredients are not listed.

There are no rounds, nor any discussion headers. Please make a toplevel with every new memory/memory discussion. At 4 hours, please turn in the survey.

I can provide an absolute smorgasbord of sad regretful memories.

[asonoficeandfire]

... oh. Memory sharing?

[onemoreknight]

I barely remember anything at all!

[pyromagiac]

[ 3 stage of emotions:
1. confusion (did i hear that right)
2. happy (i did. ears work)
3. worry (;; wait) ]

. . . Miss Bell, are you alright—?

[scarvedforlife]

[ Looks at the recipe. ]

[ Looks at the people in this room who requested a high security door on the aquarium. ]

[angleordevil]

...I should have taken more memories.

[pyromagiac]

[ there is curiosity on the empathy bond ]

Is that something new?

[scarvedforlife]

[ AHEM, definitely not vibrating a bit with concern. ]

I could help with savory and sweet.

[ Anxiety bump. ]

And bitter and sour if we decide to give our food a little extra.

[metafaliure]

I lived a very long time, and most of it was tragic. I'm fine now.

[ she's kinda bitter about it though. and like, wistful? maybe a lil lonely.

also sort of proud the hearing aids worked. ufufu as expected of a genius ]

[pyromagiac]

[ despite her contemplative look she also feels pleased on the empathy bond (ears work!!!) ]

I don't, either. Maybe I should have bought memories. . . ?

[angleordevil]

[oh

concern/sadness on that bond]

Bell?

[metafaliure]

[ well now she's just embarrassed! TSUN TSUN TSUN!!! ]

I was around for almost five hundred years, of course I've got sad memories!

[pyromagiac]

[ why is it that even though i can hear what people are saying more clearly now it still feels like there's a disconnect between the words they say and the meanings they have

a little confused, a little worried still ]

It won't hurt to talk about it again?

[onemoreknight]

[ ?

????


???????

waves at him! hi!!!!! ]

[scarvedforlife]

[ Confusion still laced with concern. ]

... Good with the recipe?

[onemoreknight]

[ is radiance an emotion? radiance is probably an emotion ]

Oh, it's fine! I'm sure we can use the memories we've made in this place, right?

[pyromagiac]

I can help with sweet or—uhm, sour!

[angleordevil]

Oh.

You're really old, huh...

[smooth]

2/2 i didn't see the edit

[pyromagiac]

[ wait. are those feelings captain sho's???

wwwworry? ]

. . . Oh, are you alright. . . ?

[angleordevil]

...I only have one we don't need. So.

[metafaliure]

It's all long in the past and can't be changed. They're still sad memories, but I'm not going to start crying or something...

[ concern is embarrassing u_u soft tsun in the background of the general wistfulness ]

[onemoreknight]

[ ????? ]

Yes! Why wouldn't I be? Are you worried I won't like it? Don't worry, I'm perfectly okay with trying new things!

[pyromagiac]

[ tbh a little embarrassed ]

I should have, too. . .
