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.Quote:
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!

He had been tasked with food prep once again but this time he was alone. The company would have been nice, Cecil didn't particularly like being alone, especially not now, but he could manage all the same. The real issue was there was no means of distraction, no need for smiles, or trying to keep brave appearances. With the others around he didn't allow himself time to think about his losses and what he no longer had. Now ....he was only left with those thoughts.
With the key in hand Cecil slowly made his way into the kitchens and unlocked the pantry, looking over the food stuff that had been counted out for him to organize and repackage. It was just busy work, nothing that needed any real thinking, which made it all the harder to bare. He didn't want to think about the past, the what ifs, or the slowly dwindling hope he so desperately clung to. Unfortunately the small package of ramen noodles in his hand offered him no real solution or guidance. It remained silent as the rest of the room around him.
With a sigh Cecil placed the ramen in its appropriate place and reached for the next item now completely lost in thought. Mostly it was over the loved ones that remained unaccounted for but in that same stride it was hard not to reminisce about the time before. It was almost funny to think how his biggest worry had been being late for his internship and now he worried daily over the well being of those around him, the monsters beyond the dorm walls, how they would survive, and if anyone else had made it. Those thoughts were probably why he didn't get as much done as he had the first time he had come here. Why with each passing moment he felt more and more like a fake. Was he really just pretending?
Looking over the pitiful job he had done Cecil tried to speed up his work flying through stacks of food in a frenzy to repackage them. He was two minutes into his task when he paused with the most dreadful thought. What was the point. They were struggling, all of them, would this really turn out okay in the end? Was there even a small chance they would see those who were missing or lost?
No
NO
He couldn't afford to think that way. There was still hope, there had to be. It was slim but even a one percent chance was better than nothing. He would take it if only to keep him going. It wasn't just him, he wasn't the only one that was suffering and everyone here was doing there best to keep going.
After the brief episode Cecil managed to calm himself down and finish his task and put away all the things he had repackaged along with a few others that had been left behind by someone else. With everything tidy he closed the pantry door again and locked it behind him. There was a brief look of uncertainty as he stared at those pantry doors but soon he steeled himself and headed back to turn in the key. He really needed to avoid working alone.
