COOKING SHOW - 5PM 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 Simple Omelet! You will need the following ingredients:

• Eggs (1 sour, 1 salty, 1 savory)
  
• Cream Cheese (1 sweet, 1 sour, 1 savory)
  
• OPTIONAL: Onions (1 sweet, 2 bitter)
  
• OPTIONAL: Tomatoes (1 sweet, 1 sour, 1 savory)
  
• OPTIONAL: Garlic salt (2 salty, 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)
  
• 2 Sour (embarrassment/shame)
  
• 1 Salty (sadness/regret)
  
• 0 Bitter (anger/bitterness)
  
• 2 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 into the comment below.

GENERAL

[nohalation]

[There is a constant noise coming from Angel's emotions, just a wild ball of buzzing of feelings that seem to just be an absolute mess.

But it's fairly muted at least.

Except nervousness. Which seems to be the most noted noise now.]

Wowee.

Re: GENERAL

[pyromagiac]

[ just like, pretty relaxed and curious. this is her round 2 so she's pretty chill ]

Miss Dusk?

Re: GENERAL

[nohalation]

HELLO FELICITY.

Re: GENERAL

[onemoreknight]

[ ! ]

Angel! Hi, Angel!

Re: GENERAL

[nohalation]

[SPARKLE HAPPY FEELINGS]

HELLO, VALUMI.

SALTY

[nohalation]

[Angel is sharing a memory that makes her VERY SAD, Intensity and Man Eater and King graduating. It is very much the feeling of losing another half of your self, and there's some lingering emptiness. But also a minor feeling of relief. It's no good for someone to be in a place where they an get hurt, after all.]

Re: SALTY

[pyromagiac]

[ oh . . . ]

That's . . .

That's an older unitmate, right. . . ?

Re: SALTY

[nohalation]

Yes, that is Intensity. He is my most important person, but he was able to graduate recently.

Re: SALTY

[onemoreknight]

...That was Intensity, right?

SOUR

[pyromagiac]

This is my embarrassing memory . . . It happened during the kissing game.

I was reading the instructions to the game, but since I couldn't hear anyone, I was in the way of everyone else . . . I didn't realize I was in front of the door, and there was a mistletoe above me.

. . . Someone ended up texting me to move because I couldn't hear them . . .

I didn't notice it until later either, but I had so many mistletoe in my hair, and that ended up making trouble for people, too. . . I'm still embarrassed about that. . .

Re: SOUR

[nohalation]

OH MY GOSH, ENDLESS MISTLETOE!!

[s h o c k]

Savory

[nohalation]

[This is a memory of Angel and Sunny. There is fear of her brother and what he will become after murdering their parents and their court, and the fear of what will happen to the kingdom.

There is a lot of sadness too, but also some determination as well.]

Re: Savory

[pyromagiac]

[ oh. . .

:(

getting up off her sheep to reach out to angel and hug :( ]

SWEET

[pyromagiac]

[ eating a candy this time to show it:

It must have been, maybe a couple days ago at most. It's future is now, and Bell has given you hearing aids. You put them on and you adjust them, and suddenly—

Sound, which was so dull before, is clearer than it's ever been in your memory (you don't remember much). You can hear—it's like someone pulled the cloth from your ears and your skull and now you can hear it so, so clearly. Everything is still blurry—you have to squint to read things—but you can hear.

You spend the day overwhelmed by the sensation. It's just the day to day of people in fin moving in and out, opening doors and closing them, talking about whatever, but you can hear it all. You can even somewhat hear yourself when you move the sheets.

You start to log this in your journal—you're talking aloud, this is the easiest way for you, but you realize . . . you're talking too loud.

Oh. You've always been talking like that, haven't you? Because you couldn't hear yourself, you you were adjusting. But you can hear yourself now.

You adjust your volume, practicing and looking up reference videos of what volume people normally talk at. The adjustment doesn't take long; it comes more naturally to you than anything, like you knew how to do it and just forgot, and

and you can walk! You try getting up, and somehow, your head manages to stay straight. It's like a piece of you that was missing has finally returned. ]

Re: SWEET

[nohalation]

[What a familiar feeling...

Not quite the same of course, she had her senses, but there was once upon a time where she, too, struggled with all sorts of NEW things like emotions, learning about the world, etc.

Understanding and warmth fills her heart though.]

...that makes me feel happy.

SAVORY

[pyromagiac]

This is . . . a sad memory, but it's also a memory of fear.

Eight days ago, on my first day—everyone remembers when Doctor Eirene visited, right?

Uhm, she took an examination of my body. I have a disease—I'm not sure how it works, exactly, but one of the symptoms is the crystallization of flesh.

But when she examined it, she didn't find any crystals.

. . . I think that means they're all internal. In my brain—and that's probably why I have a hard time hearing, and seeing.

That night, after I found out, I was . . . really scared, and really sad. Because I just came here, but I might not live for very long, if it's all internal. . . And I was really scared, because I don't want to die, and I was really sad, because. . . If I die from Oripathy, then everyone on future is now—uhm—

—I thought, everyone is so kind, and I don't want to make anyone sad if the worst comes to pass.

Re: SAVORY

[nohalation]

[Oh right, emotionshare, there is like a massive spike in fear and terror, a place that feels impossible to reach like the deepest depths of the oceans.]

Sour

[nohalation]

[This is Angel and Sho playing kiss and tell!! It is very cute as they have to smooch after drinking bottles and it starts off fun, some teasing that makes her flustered, but the real embarrassment/shyness happens when he suggests that she should be more selfish which includes them travelling together and having more memories!!

There's a lot of WARM FEELINGS and nervousness mixed in and also a little bit embarrassed/ashamed for being GREEDY AND SELFISH (she's an idol after all) but there aren't any regrets either.]

Re: Sour

[pyromagiac]

[ she is

entirely flustered

she is 100% science brain and has 0% readiness for ANY LEVEL OF ROMANSU INTIMACY AND ALSO FROSTY SHOWED HER STUFF EARLIER BUT IT'S STILL SO !!! WAAAAAAAAH FLUSTERED AND EMBARRASSED BUT ALSO HAPPY FOR ANGEL BUT ALSO WAAAAAAAAAH ]

M-Miss Dusk is in a relationship with Captain Sho!?

Re: Sour

[onemoreknight]

Wow, that's a lot...

RESULTS

[idolpro]

[ You made a Simple Omelet! While it isn't 10000% perfect, it's also full of heart and emotion; ultimately, it's balanced in its sweetness, saltiness, and savorinessside—it could stand to be a little more sour—but more importantly, it gets you a 39/10 score!

. . . That's not how scores work but whatever!

You can head to endgame, though maybe some of you might be coming back for an encore. You can take some of your food with you as you go! ]
