Elder Tale: American Server {Quest}

[shaderic]

You're not a Chef or anything, but you're starting to feel peckish.

There's an old bit of Boar Meat cluttering up your inventory, and while you don't exactly have proper seasonings or anything, there's a cooking accessory you were going to trade a friend something for.

Plenty of snow outside to boil too.

This won't exactly taste good, but if you slice the meat thin, then boil it...

___________________________________________________________________


When you tried to boil the meat, it...

There aren't really words to describe it.

It turned purple. And grew... things.

You're pretty sure it also screamed a little as it started twitching.

And you're just going to suppress the memory of what it smelled like. It's better that way.

You just took the 'results' and threw them out into the storm.

Seeing as how the stench woke you up, even though the sky has turned pitch black apart from the occasional lightning bolt, even with the room now comfortably warm, you can't sleep. The crashing thunder doesn't really help either.

Thankfully, none of it has woken up your injured 'friend'. Some colors come back to his face, and he's started to snore away.

You're actually pretty grateful for that. It's another sound to distract you from the howling winds outside. Which are honestly still as eerie to you now as they were when you were a kid. All there'd need to be is some tree tapping at the window and it'd be a perfect imitation of your childhood bedroom sound-wise.

Well, apart from the snoring old man and the crackling of the fire.

You decide to pass the time by experimenting.

With magic.

It kind of makes you giddy still.

You don't want to go overboard indoors, but still. Fllames dance around your palm on one hand, while the other emits tiny snapping sparks from the tips of your fingers.

It's awesome in a way you haven't really felt in years.

You giggle, and for once the sound of your new voice doesn't really disturb you.

Real, honest to God magic.

You sit there chuckling to yourself for what feels like hours, before you hear a moan coming from the pile of blankets that is your guest.

It seems like he might be awake soon. You should probably think about how you're going to introduce yourself.

... You guys have seen the show, right? And how unless you're a Chef you can't cook at all?

 

[Biigoh]

[X] madness! Take sum levels in cooking soon.

 

[Happerry]

Actually, what you need is levels in the cooking skill. While Chiefs are the masters and specialsts of that subskill, a few other classes have some access to it as well.

The only one we know for sure of though is the Housekeeper/Maid class, which has "Low-level Chef, Seamstress, Farmer, Brewmaster, Dairy farmer and Herbalist skills"

So I guess people were hoping the Alchemists got a bit of cooking skills.

 

[drake_azathoth]

Well, at least we can guess at the 'manual preparation' trick OOC. That's huge.

[X] Take a closer look at the old guy before he wakes up, see if you can get any clues as to what he's about.

 

[Pipeman]

It still made sense to actually try cooking IC.

[X] Introduce yourself by your character name, try to figure out whether or not he's another player going through the same stuff before starting to talk about game mechanics and the likes and find out who it is you're dealing with and whether they know the area.
-[X] If it's another player compare notes on game mechanics you've figured out so far and what class/level you both are.
