Who: Anyone!
When: backdated 3/14
Where: Hall of Glory courtyard
What: You thought you'd just come and go normally, but no there's an obstacle course and a...barbecue...? In the courtyard...? Obstacle course log that requires TEAMWORK or cheating to get through!
Rating: Naked, succulent meats, but otherwise nah


The courtyard of the Hall of Glory today looks a bit different. It also smells delicious. Are those cooked meats? Sizzled vegetables? There's BBQ going on and it's all free, costs covered! The only problem? It's at the center of this damn obstacle course. You could just leave and get your own food. ...But that still involves going through the course or one of the side exits of the compound, but where's the fun in that. Either way you should probably do as the sign helpfully pitched next to the entrance of the course says:

DON'T GO ALONE TAKE A PARTNER
I. THE ROPE BRIDGE

The entrance to the course is a ladder leading high up. When you get to the top... Congrats, a rope bridge awaits you. You can go it alone, but without someone to hold the ladder for you to keep it from flipping over you'll probably fall fifteen feet below. Onto a pile of cushions and...seagulls and cats? The cushions are covered in thrown out fish heads. Take this fall and you're going to have animals following you around all day. Probably best avoided.
II. THE SLIDE

You're doing good! Now it's time to get back down to the ground, lucky you. Your option is the slide in front of you. Just... Well. You're going to have a bad time when you reach the bottom unless your partner keeps the flames extinguished with a little ice magic (these flames will instantly re-ignite themselves once all ice has melted away, you see. Kind of a bitch). Don't know ice magic? Well that's what the helpful sign with step-by-step instructions to casting a low level ice spell is for! Time for a magic lesson!
III. THE BBQ

You reached it! Now you don't have to suffer Monday's deadly menu in the cafeteria. ...Oh. You were trying to get out? Keep pressing on, hero. Or not. Sit down. Have a bite! With a grill and a large selection of meats and vegetables to choose from along with water and juice there's plenty to go around. Maybe chitchat with the chef. Or maybe you've been conned into being the chef. There's no pay, but know you're doing your fellow heroes a great service!
IV. THE BOUNCE HOUSE

You enter a tunnel. Things get dark. And then suddenly there's flashing lights everywhere and every step your partner takes makes the floor rise beneath you, sending you flying up. You've enter the most obnoxious bounce house Caissa has to offer. Better figure out a way to walk in tandem with your partner or the two of you are going to be tumbling all over. Which isn't what you want seeing as you're not alone in here. Every bounce sends up slimy tendrils that squirm in your hair, your clothes, down your back. Isn't this obstacle course supposed to be kid friendly!? Get a good look in the strobe lights and you'll realize it's just worms. You're safe. Still disgusting though.
V. THE WALL

This is it. Then end. Finally. You can get out of this incredibly lame obstacle course. The final thing in your way? A wall of hay. Happily munching away cows included. At 15" high you can't get over this thing alone. Maybe if you stand on your partner's shoulders? Whatever it takes, now's the time to get creative because those cows sure aren't demolishing the wall any time soon at the rate they're chewing.
WILDCARD/INFO

This is just an obstacle course for fun to get characters ICly thinking about teaming up with one another and how to work together on their own terms in a safe (if...weird...) environment. Feel free to make up your own obstacles, wreck parts of the course, solve the obstacles however you like, etc. Essentially rule of funny goes!

You think? [Did Dust want food poisoning?] Do you think you like diarrhoea and vomit?

[It was saddening how much Rory expected this to happen. First, it was Vivienne, now Dust. That was why he was here, to prevent such a disaster. He did not know why, when they clearly knew nothing about cooking, they decided to cook for everyone rather than practise on just themselves.

He gave Dust a knife.]

Check the inside. Is it raw? [He then gave him a meat thermometer.] Or check the temperature. [Get ready, Dust, because Rory then went on to explain all the internal temperatures pork, beef, and chicken needed to be at to be considered safe.]

Back in Falana I ate chicken that came out of walls for some reason. I'm not sure I'm the right person to judge.

[Still, Dust listens to the temperature explanation, though he has to hold up a hand midway through --] Wait a minute, what about rare and medium meat?

[Chicken that came out of walls? Actually, no, he did not want to know. When Dust interrupted his lecture, he looked as if he wanted to take that hand and grill it with the rest of the meat.]

As long as you cook the outside of steak to temperature, it'll be okay. [He emphasised.] You only do that with steak. Other meats and ground beef need to be at temperature on the inside.

All right, but... why is that? [It helps him if he knows reasons!]
moreasleep: (Facepalm)

[Was Dust always this annoying? Well he did start a single goat rampage, so probably yes.]

The bad stuff that makes people get sick is only on the outside of steak. Not the inside. So you only need to cook the outside to the right temperature to make it safe.

[Did Dust catch that condescending tone? He hoped so.]
mithrarin: (frown)

[personal profile] mithrarin 2016-03-22 04:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yes. Duly noted.]

And yet that isn't true for chicken. I'm glad actually being a Hero doesn't require cooking. Seems like a more complicated skillset than swinging a sword.

[He turned the meats and vegetables on the grill. The vegetables looked done so he set it on a plate.]

Everyone should know this. [He did not mean cooking like a professional, just basic food safety.] You can't always rely on others for food.

[He used the thermometer to check the meat Dust had grilled.]

It's ready.

Somehow it never came up before.

['Somehow' being quite the story.]

I'm not sure why they didn't just get you to do this.
moreasleep: (Angry)

[personal profile] moreasleep 2016-03-24 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
Because I have better things to do than cook for fucking free!

[Yet here he was. Aw, look, it was as if he actually had feelings.]

Get that food off before it burns. Start the next batch already.
mithrarin: (look away)

[The fact that Rory is actually helping despite his yelling, snark, and attitude is the only thing keeping Dust from snapping back. Instead, he quickly shifts the meat off the grill to a serving plate, then tosses down several more chicken breasts and a couple of steaks. Can't fault his efficiency at least.]
