Celeste found herself pulled into a very tight hug. Which was nice at first... but it was rather hard to breathe after a while. And she could hear Freja saying something to Crimson. Celeste frowned, confused as to what Freja had meant by that. Celeste didn't even know if Crimson was entering the contest this year or had just been by to watch like Celeste usually did. Freja released Celeste for a moment but before she could even open her mouth to say anything to Crimson, Freja was dragging her off to the booths. Celeste put her free hand out, almost as if she were reaching out to Crimson to save her. But she quickly dropped it giving him a crooked smile and a wave good bye instead.

She was pulled into another tight hug, this time struggling a little bit at not being able to breathe, but was released before it got too bad. She sucked in a few, deep, calming, breaths while Freja said something about toast and safety. Celeste was a bit light headed, so she was more than happy to let Freja cook this one.

Which meant she would plate them. That shouldn't be too bad, Celeste was had a decent eye for that sort of thing. Heck, she had helped a lot with the Vet's. French toast shouldn't be too bad. Right?

Talna nodded knowingly at Turner – oh, his mama~ She really missed talking to the old woman; she was always so full of wisdom! And criticisms on Talna's whorish way of dressing herself; she couldn't help if the times were changing! Honestly, just because she sometimes went with cotton stockings instead of wool, she was always so hassled! She would never understand the previous generation.. Anyway, Talna had made it to the cooking station and, of course, the first thing on the list was to grab as many turnips as they could! Among other things, but the turnips were a must! She knew her husband wanted to try his hand at cooking, so she would have to let him try for this round – with her careful instructions, of course. “Now, hon, we're gonna get them roasted turnip n' terrorgawn an' parsley butter done.” She started as she went to wash the turnips off upon reflex – she wasn't going to say the French name. Oh, no, that was much too hard to pronounce! Sticking with good old English for little miss Talna! She handed him a batch of washed and peeled turnips and then went on to explain the rest of the process from the sidelines, watching him carefully for any mistakes.

Of course, Turner would normally let Talna do all the cooking, but... somewhere, in the back of his mind, he just couldn't get around the fact that his wife would be doing something for a countest. Proper wives were supose to be at home taking care of the children. They should let their husbands do the things like cooking for a countest... even if he didn't knew at all how to cook. Well, those were turnips and he knew his little babies well enough to handle them... especially with Talna's instruction. He started by cutting them like she was telling him to do, as she went to do something with herbs and butter he couldn't really care for. The most important was the vegetables and they were just looking good! Well... sure, maybe the cuts were a bit too thick and uneven but.... He was doing his best! Cooking was hard //pout.

Catrina had hurried the pair over to a station the moment the announcement came up, excited to get started with something that would test her wonderful skills as a hunter~ She looked at the tools they were 'supposed' to use, rolling her eyes at how silly it was that they thought she needed such contraptions! She looked at Mei before she decided on what to cook, ignoring completely the announcement because, really, what did she care about French or whatever? She was here to show her talents! Not abide by some silly human requirement! She shook her head before switching to a nod at Mei's question. Of course she wanted to cook! Why else would they be here?! “Stay there, mjau~” She instructed as she turned to get the ingredients.. from the bush behind them. What, use what they laid out for her? How lazy! She would find her own food! She huffed as she disappeared into the bush, rustling about quietly for a few minutes before she came back up with a handful of slugs, some worms she had dug up, and dead squirrel.

..Well, she wasn't an expert hunter for nothing! Of course she could catch an unsuspecting squirrel in a manner of minutes~ Why the slugs? Well, she had seen some woman using snails in her food, so she figured that maybe it wouldn't be such a bad idea to add something slimy. Thus, worms came with them! It took almost half an hour of skinning and cleaning the squirrel, but, soon, she had a plate with sliced chunks of squirrel meat, some squished worms and slugs slathered ontop, and a dash pepper ontop just for.. extra measures. This was fine cooking, yes? That's what it always looked like from her perspective whenever she saw a cooking show on TV!

Somehow, Mei was reassured by Catrina's enthusiasm. She wouldn't be so excited about a cooking competition unless she fully intended to cook, right? "Okay," she smiled as the girl told her to wait for she was. She watched the girl go to get their ingredients, but her smile vanished the moment Catrina passed the ingredients table and disappeared into the bushes. Oh god. Don't tell her she was... No, no! Fresh ingredients! That's what she must be doing! But Mei's attempts to calm herself didn't last long, because when she saw the snails and the worms and the squirrel in the girl's hands, all hopes she had for this competition disappeared. She turned away, unable to watch the girl "cook". It wasn't until the plate of .... meat... was shoved in her direction. Just one look at it was enough to make Mei want to cry. It didn't look cooked, not at all! Still, it was her job to make it look nice, and so she grabbed a fork and started to shift the contents around on the plate, trying her best not to be sick.

French, eh? Well, surely that wouldn't be too hard to make! She only wished she had the job of presentation, but even then, she knew Raiden was the worse cook of the two. So, maybe this would turn out better. "Let's get to it, Raid." She smiled at him and made her way to their station. She tried to think of all of the recipes she knew and decided on the one that was quickest. "Preheat the over at 375, okay?" She hoped Raiden would calm down long enough to at least be of minimal help. She began softening butter as he did so and threw all of the little spices all together hoping to get everything done in time. Her paranoia was starting to get the best of her.

Raiden was actually pleased that Zell had it mostly under control. At least for the cooking part, and she didn't even ******** it up. He was proud to be on the same team as her. For now, anyway. He pulled the tray out of the oven and placed it on the counter to do his part. He had already sliced up a lemon while he was waiting on her and left it sitting on the saucer while he arranged the stuffed mushrooms into the cutest fashion he could muster. He then placed a slice of the lemon next to them and placed the plate in front of Zell for inspection. "Did good, right?" Hopefully she loved it, because he wasn't changing it.

Xeiro cracked his knuckles and then placed a hand on Beatrice's shoulder. "Let's do this." His voice was low and fierce. He was not messing around this time. French wasn't too hard of a task, at least he thought. Maybe it was his cockiness getting the best of him, but he felt ten feet tall and bulletproof. There was one recipe sticking out in his mind and he just knew that was what he needed to create. Perhaps he was stupid for wanting to push the envelope like that, knowing that this recipe took exactly 40 minutes. Well, if you were lucky. But, he had an assistant and he got to work as fast as he could. He started up the deep fryer and began mixing flour, cornstarch and pepper before adding sparkling wine to make the batter mixture. He was feeling pretty good at this point. He sat the batter aside and started to shuck the oysters. His eyes were flicking from the shellfish to the clock back to the shellfish. He hoped Beatrice would be perfectly ready to make it all purdy.

Led to the table, Emery followed obediently if not eagerly. She saw what was up ahead, saw the crowds and excitement, and she wanted to be apart of it too! Oh what were they to do? Were they gonna paint? Or maybe build stuff? Emery grinned happily at her sister in reply to the command, which wasn't at all demeaning to little Emery, but an every day command that she was used to. Why, it complimented Emery! Since she didn't notice the leash being tied to the table, it was as though her sister trusted her to listen to the order and stay. Then, one thing led to the next, and she was watching Bennedetta prepare a yummy meal as she smushed the banana inside its peel and ate the created mush when she was pleased enough with it.

The food, after baking, had been placed promptly in front of her. There was no command to eat, or any kind of the sort, just it in front of her. It didn't look very good.. Emery glanced down at her banana, then the food, then her banana. She grinned her Emery grin. Biting her banana, she chewed it up into a pudding like substance, took it off her tongue when her sister wasn't looking, and proceeded to pile the mush on each of the baked mushrooms into cute little spirals of yellow cream. Prettier. Not pretty enough. Sorting the mushrooms closer to make a triangular shape together, she found some grass on the floor and placed a single blade atop of each yellow stack neatly. Now it looked pretty. ”Done.” She said merrily, mostly to herself then any others.

Beatrice was finding it rather hard to ignore Xeiro's cheers and hoo-rahs over how great the dish turned out. She knew she didn't have very long to make it presentable, so her hands were flicking as fast as they could. She pulled the prettiest leaves of spinach she could find and laid them out around all of the fritters. She was pretty pleased with the way it looked, hopefully it worked for everyone else, too.

Once the turnips were roasted and ready to be served, Talna shooed Turner behind her so she could get to her part of the team! Ah, teamwork~ She hummed to herself some sweet little folksong she always sang when doing work like this, taking the biggest four turnips and setting them at each corner, then taking the smaller ones in between to fill the gaps, adding a parsley garnish ontop of each carefully as she could. She spent almost the entire time just making sure everything was on perfectly – no mistakes! Ah, she couldn't stand something even being a little off! It just ruined the whole picture! If that parsley wasn't in the exact same position as the previous turnip's parsley was, then the whole dish would be doomed! She swallowed nervously and carefully worked her way to perfection~

Oh, just look at Lucas! He was so cute cutting things like that! Making little diced potatoes! And little chopped onions! Awh~ She really had the bestest boyfriend ever, didn't he? In fact, he was so good that she spend the next 25 minutes simply staring at him in awe... completly forgetting about the food. By the time she had remembered it, she was rushing everything trying to make it good and... well, it hadn't came out it's best. It was still pretty!... if you forgot about the chuncks and the clarity of the soup... Oh well, it was still a good Vychissoise nevertheless! It was pretty simple, and she could probbaly have done better if she hadn't wasted time fawning in front of Lucas...
