Freshman Quest: Food Prep

If experience has taught us anything, noisy packaging can ruin a perfectly good plan. Since the 'Great Sunchip Bag Fiasco Of Two Weeks Ago' and 'Twinkie Wrappers of Two Days Later', we spend some time to transfer packaging safely. This is where you Freshmen come in.

To complete this task, your character is given a temporary key to the food storage units. All of the food had already been counted and accounted for by the time they get there. Their only two objectives to their time in Food Prep are as follows: Organize by type (i.e. perishable vs non-perishable), and Repackage everything that can/needs to be. Once they are finished, they are to return the key, and their work is once more counted - to ensure they haven't taken more than what they are rationed to take.

To complete this task:
- Roll 4d20 however you'd like. (You can either do 1 post of 4d20, or 4 posts of 1d20)
  • First Dice: How many pieces of food you organized.
  • Second Dice: How long it took you to perform the organization. Each number represents one minute.
  • Third Dice: How many pieces of food you repackaged.
  • Fourth Dice: How long it took you to repackage the food. Each number represents one minute.

- Example: I roll 4d20. I get 17, 11, 11, 5. I organized 17 pieces of food into perishables/non perishables, and it took me 11 minutes. I then repackaged 11 pieces of those foods, and it took me five minutes.
- You can make excuses as to why the numbers are skewed - in this case, I would say that something happened outside of the kitchen area, and they had to stop me from continuing my work. Or, you know, my character was lazy and the last six pieces sounded like much too much work. If you have excess (example: you organized 5 pieces, but repackaged 20), assume someone else left organized food without repackaging them. More work for you!
- Once you roll your 4d20, and write a post of no less than 500 words, you can consider this quest completed, and may count it towards your rankings.

Obtaining Credits
- Add up your dice, divide it by 4, then divide that answer by 2. This is how many credits you earn.
- Example: I rolled 17, 11, 11, 5. I add them together. 17 + 11 + 11 + 5 = 44. I divide 44 by 4 and get 11. I divide 11 by 2 and get 5.5. Round up, and I managed to get away with 6 course credits.

If you wish to do this in a group:
- You may!
- Each player in that thread must roll 4d20 - after all, they're there to work together, not all do the same work.
- Basically, you can just RP with each other while you play with food.

OOC Rules
- Assume the key giving, key returning, and counts are all done off-screen. You can just mention them in RP!
- When it comes to obtaining credits, always round up if there is a decimal point.
- This quest will be considered complete if you roll a 4d20 and write at least 500 words. Because of the ability to win a substantial amount of credits, we will be checking this using this word count tool, so make sure you are getting at least 500 words!

While Kammy considered her current skill tree to be of the 'completely wrong build' so to speak (She considered herself to be a mage that had no more manna points, and everyone else were melee based classes ), she knew that whining about it wasn't going to help. She didn't want to slack off and risk being seen as a liability. Every day their rations would grow shorter, and it would only be a matter of time before they decided some of the more useless ones would need to be thrown out. She didn't plan to be one of them.

There weren't many jobs that freshman could do, except the more menial chores like cleaning, food packaging and scavenging. Kammy didn't want to do cleaning, nor did she want to go outside without anything to defend herself against the infected, so the decision came easy as to what she would do. There was also the added perk of proving she could be trustworthy, just as long as she didn't eat any of the food.

With the key in hand, Kammy let herself into the dark room, flicking the switch to turn on a light that offered little light for her to see by. The main room was empty, yet it lacked the ransacked quietly that the main buildings possessed; considering it was so well guarded and all.

She could see boxes and crates of food packed neatly away in the shelves, no doubt done by other freshmen, but there was still plenty of foods left on the counters and in boxes. Most of it consisting of granola bars, canned goods, and other wrapped items. The refrigerator had stopped working ages ago.

It didn't take her long to put a little more order into the place, retrieving a box from the corner of the room and unpacking it's contents so she could sort the items into separate perishable and non perishable piles. She even separated the perishables again by their due date.

"I miss meat." She sighed, working quickly to organize the food, only to stop when she found a few packets of ramen noodles. "Oh, I didn't know we had any of these left, score!" She was tempted to sneak the delicious packets away, but threw that temptation aside; not only would she risk expulsion, but she could disrupt the delicate harmony of comradeship that existed within the university. Although she wasn't the bestest of friends with everyone. Socializing in a apocalypse was hard okay.

The organizing done, Kammy placed her piles of food back into various boxes, and then placed the boxes in marked cupboards. Her repackaging though didn't go as well as the organizing, with some of the boxes being to small now to fit the items properly. She spent some time figuring out what to do, then oped to just leave some of the boxes empty and place the food in other boxes already filled.

Okay. There, done, she did her task. Hopefully she'd get some good street cred for her work.

+ 4.125 course credits achieved
