COOKING SHOW - 5PM PST - AlcheME!

[ 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. ]

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.

For every shared memory, please give a 1-4 for how open they were about it, with 1 being cagey as fuck and 4 being as open as they could be:

# of candies consumed:

For every unitmate, please give a 1-3 for how much they learned about them/how much they were affected by this new knowledge, with 1 being a little/unsurprising and 3 being a lot/shocking:

[ This emotion can only be really summed as 'ah shit here we go again'. ]

...So we're literally cooking with feelings, okay.

[Long story short: K has terrible taste in friends.

[It's not easy finding out that someone you desperately want to trust with your life has already tried to end it once; it's even less so when that person's next act is to try and do it again. Doesn't take either, and he's gearing up for a third go-round when K puts an end to it by ripping a hole through his chest.

[He's got an egg now. Yay?]

Ugh, okay, let me just get...one of these out of the way. [ He says, when his face is already heating up just thinking about it, apparently. ]

So you remember me, uh, getting married in the hotel, right? Absolutely ridiculous journey? Somehow not the most embarrassing part about it, even though it was definitely the most insane part of the journey! No, the most embarrassing part was afterwards when we were all in the tower lobby, covered in blood and everything.

Lancelot apologise for...I mean, I guess it's obvious what he apologised for, and then we tried to joke about it 'cause what the hell else are we supposed to do about all of it, and then he called me cute, admitted that he really meant it and that it wasn't something put into his head. Said it all with a straight face, even. Apparently he really does consider me special?

So...yeah.

[ After opening his mouth and closing it, twice, as it dawns on him that he doesn't really know how he wants to talk about this memory, he just takes a candy. What follows is this memory (cw: torture, graphic violence, eye scream) in which Lark apprently gets kidnapped by a gang member, gets his arm and leg broken, and then proceeds to stab a guy in the eye and beat him to death.

Yeah,,, ]

Mmmm I don't exactly have anything much better.

[So. Let's fuckin' go or something.

[Okay. Candy. Right. Let's see what we

[... oh, okay, this one is also kind of grim. K is fighting a scarred juggernaut of a man with close-cropped white hair and the ability, seemingly, to tank any blow that's flung at him. It's an extremely one-sided fight, even though K's brought a friend, and the only thing that stops it from ending very poorly for him indeed is when a middle-aged woman, who's been watching helplessly all this time, flings herself in front of a fatal blow.

[She bleeds out in K's arms and whatever her sins, she was worth ten of him.

[The worst thing about it is how familiar it all feels.]

[ You made a Simple Omelet! . . . Well, you tried, at least—but the eggs are sour and so is the cream cheese. While it isn't 10000% perfect, it's also full of heart and emotion; ultimately, it's a little on the sour side—it could have really used some sweet or salty—but more importantly, it gets you a 16/10 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! ]
