HADES KITCHEN GENERAL RULES


- This overall "event" will consist of five elimination rounds. Each one will have a different challenge and last 48 hours each. If you are out of the round, you are free to post your tickets for the raffle. If you are not eliminated from the round, please keep your tickets until you ether win or are eliminated, then please compile all of your tickets + winning parts and enter them in the raffle where you see fit!

- If you do not post within the 48 hours for a thread, you will be automatically eliminated, just for fairness's sake, nothing against you at all! You will not get the ticket for the event you did not post in, but you will for all the events you participated in prior! Sometimes only the strongest chefs can survive.

- If you are in a team challenge and one (or more) of your teammates do not post for 48 hours then they are eliminated. If you have posted in that time, you're still in the game! Worst comes to worst you'll just have to go it solo. If you pass, your teammates who did not post are still eliminated however. There's no free rides here!

- Make sure to fully read the prompt and examples before entering! All entries should be RPed! You can also rp with other contestants during the match, by simply quoting them and interacting. For example, asking about how to cook X or telling them they suck, or asking to borrow supplies you are missing! Some team challenges will require talking to your team, so feel free to quote the peoples in your team. If there is no reply, no worries, just continue doing your part for your team as much as you can!

- At the end of each of the five rounds, there will be a final score tally you will need to post. Simply put that in the OOC post of your post, after you have finished the challenge (whatever it is). The score needs to be posted in BOLD RED in the ooc quotes for it to count like below:

OOC

MY FINAL SCORE FOR THIS ROUND IS ___

That's just to make it easy for the judge tallies!

- Occasionally the judges will walk around + guest judges and critique stuff! You can rp that as you please! Have fun and be as catty as you like!


ON CAMERA VS OFF CAMERA

- ON CAMERA: After a round has been finished a "summary" will be posted of the event. I will post the summary, and it is basically the editing team of the show taking all the footage from the thread (ie: your dialogue your character posted/ their actions etc) and creating a compiled version of that "episode". This episode will then be posted in an ORP ie (aired on tv) for everyone to view, including those not in the event! Those people can react as they please to watching the show. This episode will be broadcasted all over TV so everyone who even has a character in Halloween can have watched it and talk about it later!

- OFF CAMERA: Everything that happens in a thread is off camera. Only the edited parts (see above) will be considered national television fodder, but sometimes the editing crew will choose to edit out certain parts if it isn't juicy enough.

HADES KITCHEN PART 1: THE GREAT ONION (TEARJERKER) CUTTING


You feel yourself blindfolded, and ushered into a room. It is a dark. Suddenly you hear a loud beeping noise from behind you, it sounds like someone driving a very large vehicle.

BOOM.

THUNK.

There is a loud voice and it sounds like chef Gorgon Ramsey himself.

"Take off your apron," is the command, and as you do, you see you are standing in front of individual tables, with two bowls off the side. In front of all of you is a large monster truck, and it belches and unleashes from within the coils of it's fire furnace pits -

- Thousands and thousands of writhing, screaming, hissing veggies tearjerkers.

"Be careful, they bite." the exalted chef himself warns, picking one of the veggies up by it's long tendrils, and then beating it to a pulp with his knife. In no less than three steps, the veggie is peeled, de-tentacled, and sliced into a thousand pieces, the measure and skills of a true chef. He looks up at the contestants. "Now, you might have made it this far, but we want to see your work ethic in the kitchen. Each of you will cut one-hundred veggies tearjerkers perfectly into thin slices, and prove to us you are not a fluke."

"However, if any of you slice them wrongly, if any of you look like you don't know what you're doing you will instantly be eliminated. You have one hour starting now."

OOC

ELIMINATION ROUND 1 : SLICING THE TEARJERKERS


- All contestants must slice 100 tearjerkers into beautiful, thin slices. It will consist of removing the tentacles, skin, and of course teeth before you go for the beautiful insides. This process will require steps, so make sure to pay attention to the ooc and ic steps below. Each step will require a seperate post

- Each step will cost TIME. If you run out of time you will automatically be eliminated so be careful and good luck! Each person starts with 60 minutes.

gaia_crown [ STEP 1: ] DECLAWING AND DEFANGING YOUR ONION.
- First you need to get close to the veggies. They claw and hiss, they bite and are horrific, as true to their nature. They especially like going for the eyes, thus why they are called veggies tearjerkers of course!
- Roll 1d20 (1 20-sided dice) to see how many minutes it takes for you to gather one hundred rabid, angry, spitting veggies into your cart and slowly declaw them. They will attack at any given time, so feel free to rp it out, and oh, they have quite the bite.

gaia_crown [ STEP 2: ] THE INTERVIEW
- Just as you finish slicing your onion, suddenly the camera turns onto you, you are asked to pause what you are doing as you are being interviewed live on TV. Roll 3d10 to see what questions you are given by matching your dice roll to the interview question you are given. You will need to answer 3 of the 10 questions to carry on. If you get a repeat, you can choose either the number above or below the repeat.

Keep in mind, this cements your TV PERSONA and may be used in the final version of EPISODE 1 of HADES KITCHEN BROADCASTED ON LIVE TV ALL OVER HALLOWEEN so make sure what you say counts!

THE QUESTIONS:
1) Why did you try out for Hades Kitchen?
2) Tell me a little about yourself, your backstory, who you are.
3) What do you think about the other contestants here?
4) Do you envision yourself winning the grand prize and what would you do with the money?
5) Have you ever sliced a veggies tearjerker before? What is the secret?
6) Do you have any children?
7) What do you think about chefs Gorgon Ramsay and chef Dr. Hyde?
8.) If you had your own cookbook what would you base it off after?
9) If you could say one thing in front of live national TV what would you say?
10) Which contestant do you think is going home today?

Simply in your rp post post the question, and then post your character's IC reply to it, as well as any mannerisms, ticks, etc etc you want to show. When you're done, move on to step 3, the final step!

gaia_crown [ STEP 3 ]: CUTTING IT CLOSE
- Now you will need to slice the onion which is pretty straight forward. Unfortunately, while you were being interviewed, the time was still rolling, so now you must roll 3d20 to see how much time you used up!
- Remember if you hit over 60 minutes cumulatively you are bust! If that happens (add up the rolls from step 1 and 3) just post in bold red in ooc that you have gone over the time limit. No worries! You will still be rewarded the rp points AND raffle ticket for getting to this round.
- If you have NOT gone over 60 minutes by combining your score for step 1 and 3, you can continue onwards!
- Now you must slice your tearjerkers as thin as possible. However, when you do, the chefs decide to stop by and give you unwanted critique. In your next post after rolling the 3d20 post, roll 2d10 and match your dice roll to the results below. This is the critique the judges give you as they pass by your station. RP as you wish, and feel free to use it as flavour text to your advantage! After you have done so, and rped the prompts out, you are FINISHED!

- Congratulations, you have made it to the next round... HOPEFULLY.

JUDGE PROMPTS:

1) Judge Hyde looks over your shoulder. "Hmm," he says, "Hmmm... so people do do things that way." He says nothing more and continues walking on.

2) Judge Gorgon Ramsay looks at you working and frowns and crosses his arms, wrinkling his already wrinkly forehead. He says nothing.

3) Judge Hyde grabs a bowl full of sliced veggies and disposes of them. He stares at you with what might be smugness as you have to recut a whole bowl full of onions. (Just RP it, no need to reroll!)

4) Judge Gorgon Ramsay leans over. "Stop." He points to the bowl, and slowly, handful by handful, begins to pour the contents over your table in a haphazard manner. It is embarrassing as you are on live TV. "Look at this ****, this is ****. I wouldn't even feed my mother this. Stop, and start all over again (you must literally, repeat everything from step 1, but the second round, you don't have to worry about time). If you get this a second time, you can just skip this prompt.
- To clarify: you need to reroll 1d20 to gather tearjerks, then roll 3d10 and answer the interview questions again (if you get dupes you can reroll or treat it as a chance to redo your question, then reroll 3d20 to slice up the onions again. If this is the first prompt you receive, roll 1d10 to do your second prompt. If this was your second, you're done! You do not need to worry about going over as far as time goes. You're basically rerolling+RPing again.

5) Judge Hyde stirs your bowl of chopped tearjerkers and pulls out a stray eyeball, throwing it away. "So," he begins, "how do you feel about your chances of winning?"

6) Judge Gorgon Ramsay puts a hand on your shoulder. "Stop." He looks angry. "You. Take off your apron."

About ten seconds later, as you're taking off your apron, he finally concludes with a "And bring it over to winners table as you are moving on to round two." You no longer have to chop onions and can continue forward!

7) Judge Hyde leans next to you. "What do you think of the contestant next to you?" He opens his notepad to take notes. (The contestant next to your character is the person that posts ABOVE you). They will be considered iicly "next to you". Don't be too alarmed if you get different people next to you, the tables tend to shift sometimes!)

8.) Judge Gorgon Ramsay brings Judge Hyde over. They both stare at you judging and hating you, as their vibes of negativity practically radiate off them. They don't say anything though, just staring for a good five minutes as you work.

9) "Stop," says judge Hyde, walking towards you. "You are finished."

Just as you take your apron off he amends, "Your are finished using that knife. Go and get a sharper knife."

Looks like your day isn't over yet.

10) You are blatantly ignored by both judges. Maybe they really hate you.

Being blindfolded and carted off like cattle wasn't something Falair appreciated. Especially with how rough their escorts seemed to be. But at least it seemed she had made it to the next level of this competition.

She hoped. Unless they were all losers and being taken to some secret place to be put out of their misery for failure. Damn it was Alchemy classes all over again.

But soon the sound of beeping and movement roared about in the room they finally found themselves in. Taking off her blindfold, Falair cocked an eyebrow at the truck and then the sudden dump of tearjerkers. Their gnashing teeth and flailing tendrils. Oh good, something easy enough. All they had to do was declaw, defang and slice them up.

Easy.

When they were left to work Falair quickly made her way to the pile. Wrangling as many as she could as quickly as she could. The Horsewoman made it look a bit too easy, perhaps she should have slowed down a bit. But she didn't want to waste any time. Fifteen minutes later she had 100 of the little critters declawed and defanged. Of course she hadn't been too safe to save her fingers from being bitten a few times. But no pain no win right?

Right.

Of course, as time ticked away Falair was suddenly and unexpectedly approached by the camera crew. And someone with a microphone and a spook paste commercial smile. Ugh, she knew what this meant. They were going to ask her questions.

The interviewer looked greasier then one of the oven's grease traps.

What do you think about the other contestants here?
Her lips pulled into a tight line behind her face mask. She didn't really know any of the other contestants, or at least she hadn't payed attention to anyone else here enough to recognize anyone she might know. "I think they've got a bit of work to do to make it far in this competition."

If you could say one thing in front of live national TV what would you say?
Falair wasn't sure what kind of answer this question was truly looking for. Were they trying to make her look a fool? Turning to look straight into the camera she smiled and waved. "If you are watching hello Faiyum, hello big sister!" That's the kind of response they wanted she was sure.

Which contestant do you think is going home today?
Shrugging, she turned back towards the tearjerkers. "I don't know, its too early to really tell. Whoever runs out of time I would suspect."

[Yayoi]

Falair went back to her table, eyeballing the clock. Crap! Those interview questions too way too long for her liking. Picking up her knife she carefully and skillfully began to slice the tearjerkers as thin as she thought would be appropriate.

No time for lollygagging.

Occasionally she would glance around at the other contestants to see how far along they were with what little time remained.

STEP 3: CUTTING IT CLOSE
CONTESTANT NAME: Falair Saab

[Yayoi]

She had been moving along at a good pace. Falair was almost nearly done when Judge Ramsay came over to her table. Glancing up, she raised an eyebrow as to exactly what he wanted.

"Stop." He points to the bowl, and slowly, handful by handful, begins to pour the contents over your table in a haphazard manner. It is embarrassing as you are on live TV. "Look at this ****, this is ****. I wouldn't even feed my mother this. Stop, and start all over again!"

That had been so embarrassing. Falair thought she had been doing a really good job but obviously it was not enough for this one. Frowning heavily at all her hard work spread across the table and some on the floor.

[robot kitten]

After eating his dish (good thing I saved one for myself cause that stupid Gorgon threw it on the floor... grr) Kenta found himself hustled off and blindfolded. If this is how they get rid of contestants then this show has some serious issues! Kenta thought with a growl as he was let out and heard the Gorgon's voice again. It irked him, that voice did. So the Gorgon didn't like raw meat... did he realize that there were people who's stomachs could not handle cooked meat? Guess since we're undead, the living don't like some of our dishes! I should make more raw meat and make him eat it!

He took off his apron and watched warily as the truck belched forth tearjerkers and the instructions were given. So they bite? Then.. I'll just use my bone arm! Kenta thought with amusement, a bit glad that the exposed bones did not feel pain as intensely as the rest of his body. He took a few minutes to ensure he caught tearjerkers that didn't look.. rotten.

As he picked each one up, they screamed and tried to bite him, the flailing tentacles trying to find purchase on the bone claw that held it captive. The knife slashed down quickly, ending the annoying sounds and making the creature go limp. One tearjerker managed to writhe its way across the floor to attack his foot... Kenta chuckled at this and stomped down with his skeletal leg to hold it captive while he dealt with the one in his hands. The gnawing felt ticklish actually... though Kenta was a bit wary about them breaking the smaller bones in his paw.

Kenta was half way through his pile of tearjerkers when some people interrupted him. He frowned and eyed the camera warily; why were they talking to him?
"Hey there! Just here to interview you for the show!" The peppy announcer said as the camera got set up." Just a few questions for you~"

He grumbled and put his knife down. He didn't want to ruin any tearjerker because of interruptions.

Quote:

Which contestant do you think is going home today?

He looked at the announcer than over at the others. How should he know? He wasn't watching them! But he had seen some scores....
"...Not sure? Not exactly watching other people you know. Bit busy here."

Quote:

Do you have any children?

He snorted and smirked. "Do I look old enough to have children? Seriously! I'm a first year student... yah think I'd have a kid?" Well that was a stupid question! I wonder if they are just pestering me on purpose?

Quote:

What do you think about the other contestants here?

He rolled his eyes. "Hello? Cooking competition? You think I have time to watch others when I'm busy trying to cook myslf? Sure fire way to ruin a meal. Now will you leave? Trying to cut things right now."

Busy bodies and inane questions!

Kenta growled to himself and looked at the clock to see how much time he had left. he was shocked when he saw he had a measly 8 minutes! Just how much freaking time had those reporters wasted?!?!

STEP 3: Cutting it Close
CONTESTANT NAME: Kenta
MINUTES LEFT:53-45=8/60 minutes left!

 

[robot kitten]

Growling to himself, Kenta picked up his knife and began to cut; he always cut the tearjerker in half to ensure a flat surface on one end before he used one hand to move the tearjerker into the knife blade as he quickly sliced like a maniac.
"Hmm... s people do do things that way...." He heard the Hyde judge mutter before walking away. Kenta ignored him; he had 8 minutes to do 100 tearjerkers!

Not having to worry about cutting his bone fingers made this a lot easier for him; he just moved quickly and without hesitation. The pile slowly diminished and Kenta finally finished it with a sigh as he looked around and realized that after that first run by.. the judges hadn't stopped by! Which, as he saw one tell a student to start over and to replace their knife, maybe was a good thing!

[Chrystali]

Initially, Addie was so taken with pride that she had no fears or nervous thoughts towards the next round. Sure, Gorgon Ramsey had tasted and thrown away her meal, but...Gorgon Ramsey had talked to her. While the Nightmare was never one to really become a complete and total space case, it was no secret the mare favored the strong-willed types, and it didn't get much stronger than Chef Ramsey. Oh, if her parents could see her now...they'd probably be disappointed in her anyway, but she got to face the most popular chefs in this world and the other. Life was good.

Or so she thought, being lead blindly into what sounded like a large, spacious room, a warehouse maybe, and the hiss and drone of a large vehicle could be distinctly heard. With the blindfold off, she watched in a sort of heart-clenched, frozen-smiled manner as thousands of little screaming and twisting tearjerkers poured out in front of the gathered. Dang. Were they supposed to prepare these raw from scratch? She was really wishing that monster handling class had panned out right about now, as she'd really only had limited experience with the buggers--

But lo, the great Chef Ramsey gave them the most split-second demonstration! Ada was a visual learner, however, studying and words did nothing for her - and though it was quick, the execution was not lost on her, picking through her memory of shows she'd seen about techniques and trying to apply them to what she'd seen. The chef's chilling warning wasn't lost on her, and as soon as they were permitted to work, the Nightmare set in motion.

Tentacles were grabbed, skin was yanked, bodies were heaved, but Ada plucked exactly one hundred of the little writhing bastards, immediately following the mental picture she had in her head of the chef's immaculate preparation. What he did in seconds took her a bit longer, but she was getting better with each one: slice, peel, chop. A few of the biters made the mistake of gnashing their teeth at her, which she promptly responded with smacking the hilt of the knife into their teeth or chopping off the reaching tentacles. Most of them were content to just writhe until their demise, no need to suffer at the hands of the determined fire femme. Or so she reasoned.

She was a little over halfway done--

[Chrystali]

-- when a camera was thrust in her face.

Ada gave the fish-eye lens a scathing stare of disbelief. They were going to make her stop? During a timed tourney? To borrow from the good chef - bloody hell, did they have no presence of mind? Remembering that it was a bit of reality television, the mare supposed that tact and fairness were probably on the lesser end of the list of things that were important. The Nightmare set her jaw in clenched disapproval, turning her smoldering gaze of disapproval to the one asking the questions.

"Have you ever sliced a veggies tearjerker before? What is the secret?"

If she could purse her lips any thinner, they'd probably disappear right off her face. "You must be new, or you just don't pay attention to the show you work for -- in the tryouts, I used one." Well, it didn't exactly answer the question, but she was going to be very displeased if these interlopers cost her the round. "The secret is following instructions," the words were ground out, "especially when the master of his craft shows you out to do it." What kind of questions were those, anyway? Did they not just see the same display she did?

"Do you have any children?"

Ada's eyes were a perfect skewed picture of utter perplexity. "I'm hardly of the proper age -- were you really not paying attention to tryouts at all? We're students. I don't have time for children even if I was able to rear them now." Goodness! Nightmares didn't have children until they had established studs and ranks, didn't everyone know that? She was still considered a child as it were. Was he offering or something? Ew. Creepy.

"If you had your own cookbook what would you base it off after?"

Flicking her eyes to the chefs as a time was called out - fifteen minutes left?! - she set her jaw again and gave the other a disapproving stare. "I'd base it on respect and humility, and hopefully you'd read it! Do you realize you've wasted three quarters of my time? Shoo, go bother someone else, I have work to do!" The Nightmare lifted her glowing hands and made waving motions to get them out of her face and away from her cart. Heathens! Seriously, who took that long to ask three questions? Ada grumbled and shook her head, returning to her work. She didn't think she'd run out of time, oh no, but it was the principle of the thing; she never liked talking about herself and she wasn't going to hold back her thoughts or opinions when asked. It just wasn't always going to be what they wanted to hear.

Snorting, she yanked another set of tentacles off, finishing her last three tearjerkers.

The Nightmare was still grumbling to herself as she deftly chopped her remaining tearjerkers. There was a driving sense of annoyance and a stubborn will to succeed that kept her moving, fingers deft in pushing the finished pieces aside, the knife pressed against her knuckles as she'd seen before to make things even.

You can do this girl, Addie told herself, biting her bottom lip. Just do what Ramsey did. Do what Ramsey did. Do what--
