Items Rolled: A Feathery, Irate Creature, Ominous-looking Berries, 2 Colourful Large Frogs and some Strange Mushrooms
Prize Pref: Gluttony
Entry: Gluttony rolled up her sleeves and put her quite scary looking apron. Although her stomach wasn’t growling any more now, she was still quite upset that she had to re-create what was perfect. It was hauntingly beautiful in all its poisonous goodness. Thankfully, her stomach had eaten enough gross creepy crawlies from who-knows-where to handle the poison. This time, she would have to create it about ten times stronger than the last time.
She grabbed for the feathery irate creature as it squawked relentlessly in her hands. The only thing she could do was cling to its neck with her small hands; trying to kill it without having to drown it or chop it’s head off. Not that she was afraid or anything! As the critter seemed to die down in its enthusiasm, she promptly removed its head and trashed it before it could come back. With the ingredients at hand, she couldn’t possibly bake a cake! She decided a change of plans and was going to make a roast bird thing with juicy berry and mushroom stuffing, decorated with a sauce coloured by the dyes from the two frogs and then frog legs as a side dish. Her mouth was already watering from thinking about it. Oh and of course, the poison must be added to the concoction!
She began to de-feather the dead creature while running it through water. Next she washed the berries and mushrooms, making them into bite sized pieces while she was at it. Stuffing the bird was the difficult part because she had forgotten that normal stomachs couldn’t digest bones and that they had to be removed. She coated the featherless bird with colours of this and that and popped it into the over! With only but a little bit of time left, she couldn’t risk the meal not being cooked. She turned the oven to a higher temperature as she tore up the multicolour frogs and stir fried the frogs legs to add to the side.
Only a little while longer before her plan unfolds. She placed the final details onto the meal. Some dye touch-ups, frog sauce over the legs and of course, a small handful of berries over the meal. Voila! Her master plan was done. All that’s left was to wait for her victim to arrive.

Prize Pref: Gluttony
Entry:
Gluttony looked closely at the Strange Mushrooms and Slimey Blue Fllowers. They reminded her of something...
 
Ahah! She knew exactly what they needed! She took the Bright Red Berries (which were the perfect pigment) and the Ominous-looking Berries (which looked like miniature skulls) and mashed them into two thick, gooey dyes.
She'd just use the basting brush aaaaaaand - hold on a minute. This was all about presentation. There was one more thing that was absolutely necessary to make the most perfect and irresistible dish imaginable. That Feathery, Irate Creature had been irate long enough.
After plucking it and boiling the meat off the bones, she had exactly the amount of bones and feathers she needed. She built a sturdy box. Then, using the slime from the Slimey Blue Flowers, she began the tedious process of sticking the colorful feathers to them. FINALLY, it was time to put everything together...
For something no hero could resist: A (poisonous) POWERUP!!!!

Prize Pref: Silver Pumpkin Seeds
Entry:
Gluttony looked over the ingredients she'd managed to find, a frown of thought upon her face. She could get some other, er... 'Normal' things from the kitchen, if she were sneaky enough. What could she make with these?
Something fast. Something tasty. Something easy... Pie!
Yes, a pie it would be. Surely 'Steve' would be dumb enough to accept a pie from her, right? Gathering up everything, she fled to the kitchen with the intentions to make some sort of berry pie. Of course, the ones she had found were a poisonous type, but mixed with just enough sugar and filling the strange flavor of them could be masked.
Time ticked away. Gluttony continued to fret over whether or not she would miss Steve's arrival. Once she had the filling made she swiped a ready-made crust (or something that worked just as well) and poured everything together inside before covering the slop with the soft, crumbling ball she had found. Even in rolling it flat, she had no idea what it was or if it had been alive at some point before she found it.
No time to wonder now! Into the oven it went! Luckily for the frog, she'd only used some of the slimy secretions on the skin, so he was free to go. Just... To hop around the cafeteria and probably be eaten by someone else, she was far too busy to take it outside!
With not a moment to spare (as far as she knew) the pie finished and cooled. Trotting back to the table with her pie in hand she set it down and deliberately put her back to it in an attempt to keep herself from eating this too...

However, how to put them together so that Steve would love them was the next question.
Gluttony was sitting on a chair at the kitchen counter staring at the items she'd gathered pondering. The Long, Thin Brown Sticks had the Wiggling, Curling Vines curling around them and wiggling. It gave Gluttony an idea, with a quick grin she grabbed the Long, Thin Brown Sticks with the Wiggling, Curling Vines around them and picked up the Strange Mushrooms and she began to put them together.
The combination looked a bit strange but perfect for roasting over a fire. The Wiggling, Curling Vines started to curl over the Strange Mushrooms as well. Gluttony sat the roasting sticks mushroom side down. She was sure that these would hold a particular exotic flavor that Steve would adore.
She was looking at the Pretty, Multi-Colored Flowers and A Feathery, Irate Bird. These two were tricky, specially since the bird wouldn't sit still. She was sure the flowers were a sweet tasting and the bird would hopefully be not too stringy and be a tasty little appetizer.
When she subdued A Feathery, Irate Bird she placed it on the plate and put the Pretty, Mutli-Colored Flowers around the bird and then set the Strange Mushrooms with the Long, Thin Brown Sticks and the Wiggling, Curling Vines around the center piece of the bird and the flowers. It was a pretty awesome looking plate if you asked her, Gluttony just hopped Steve liked it.

Items Rolled: Yellow Flowers with small petals, slender plants with no scent, An Old crumbling ball of....something, large dull-colored moth, and long thin brown sticks.
Prize Pref: Gluttony
Entry:Pizza! Everyone loved pizza, right? Well she knew she did, and cake. Oh how she loved cake. Her love for cake put her in this icky mess after all. Good thing there was a swamp near by. She ran out to grab everything she could get her hands on, in enough time, and ran back to the table to start cooking.
Gluttony looked through the things she collected to see what she could use to make pizza with, but before that she turned on the oven to 325 degrees. Spotting some slender plants with no scent , she grinned. She could use those to make the crust with; warm, fluffy, crust with buttery glaze over top of it. She started to salivate at the thought, her eyes glazing over at every bite she was taking out the pant. “Fudge muffins!” She said spitting out the pants. She had to concentrate, this pizza had to be done, by the time Steve got here or she would be doomed. Though, fudge muffins did sound pretty good right now. Wiping the drool off of her face, she grabbed a pizza pan and pressed down on the newly bitten pants to fit the shape. It was looking great already.
Smiling at what she had done, she looked around for what she could use for cheese. Looking at the pile of things, she grabbed an old crumbling ball of….something and yellow flowers with small petals . Perfect, she thought. What else could look better? Nothing, she thought, nothing at all. If this wasn’t poisonous she probably would grab a slice…or two, herself. Taking the two things from their pervious places, she started to crumble them over the pants. Yes, this was looking like a great pizza, crust and warm gooey chesses. Her tummy started to rumble at the thought.
Looking at the clock, she knew that she was running out of time. All she needed now was something the looked like meat. Anything at all! Looking at the last things she collected, she saw some long, thin brown sticks that had a large dull-colored moth flying around them. Hey, why not, moths and sticks probably tasted wonderful. Moving over to them she grabbed the month with a quick scoop from her left hand and the sticks with the other. Bouncing back over to the wonderful treat, she called pizza she smiled as she pressed the month and sticks down on-top of the “chesses.” Oh this was going to be too great. Not only did this look wonderful, it probably tasted as great too. Maybe she could just take a small bite. Yes, that wouldn’t hurt right? No, she thought, shaking her head. Steve wouldn’t eat a pizza that already had a piece missing.
Frowning at her rumbling tummy, she plopped the pizza into the oven and waited. And she waited some more and the amour of this wonderful pie made her sob. It smelled so good, so wonderfully good. If it wasn’t for the fact that she knew that Steve was coming, she would have already took it out for a taste test. Looking at the clock, she started to worry. She couldn’t wait any longer; she had to take it out. Grabbing the oven mittens, she grabbed the melted goodness of what she called her greatest pizza ever. She smiled and licked her lips. She just had to wait a little longer and then she would have her pizza and Steve all to herself.

Prize Pref: Silver Pumpkin Seeds!
Entry: (( Excuse my long entry. I kind of was having fun. ))
All the while little miss Glutton was in her kitchen brewing away for her precious Steve, Lucien was wandering in the woods with his own agenda. He didn't really want to feed Steve or even meet him again after the incident that will remain unnamed, but he figured this would be the perfect practice meal and if Steve accidentally choked on whatever he made and died of asphyxia then it wouldn't be such a big loss. Lucien considered the idea Steve might not have to breathe, and then Steve just would have to go around with a huge lump in his throat where the food bulged. Maybe if he got lucky he'd really screw up and he'd poison him.
Lucien was thankful he didn't have to actually walk through the swamp, very pleased he was able to simply move over it. It really didn't look too pleasing, and he certainly didn't want a mud-bath. He did however need ingredients and little miss Glutton mentioned finding the perfect things for her master plan... whatever that was, here in the swamp.
The first thing that caught Lucien's attention wasn't so much his own choice. You don't really have a choice when a HUGE, but dull coloured moth lands on your head. He felt like he was going to end up in the mud below him and he found himself desperately shaking his head, but the moth refused to leave even when Lucien threatened to stick his head into the mud. The moth knew his bluff. Lucien had no choice but to continue on in search, moth content on his head.
He went on for awhile, nothing catching his attention... until from the sky above him...! What this? A ball of... well, Lucien wasn't sure what this ball was of, but it whacked him in the face, nearly causing the poor guy to fall in the mud. It had landed on a soft pad of grass and beside it, a very pretty pink flower. He looked between the two items, and reached for the flower only to be pricked with the thorns of the flower.
"Ow!" He shrieked, tucking the flower in a bag in a huff.
He angrily grabbed the strange ball that clubbed him in the face and stuffed that too into the bag, vaguely wondering where it had come from. He had enough of that nonsense though and gave trying to shake the moth from his head another try. It refused to leave and Lucien once again found himself going through the swamp with a huge moth on his head. Maybe it was a new fashion statement?
None of the stuff he gathered was really edible by any standards and he was sure that the flower was going to taste lovely as it sliced up Steve's throat as it went down, and that just wouldn't be very good at all. Not in the least. Well, that's what he'd tell everyone. How sad, I'm sorry Steve... not. Lucien really should get over it, it wasn't Steve's fault he got hit by a billion instruments and now seemed to be a magnet for being hit by things. Even if it wasn't his fault though, it didn't mean Lucien couldn't blame him for it.
After a bit, Lucien got tired of staring at the ground and looked up towards the trees. There he noticed strange eggs, just sitting on a tree branch. They weren't even in a nest, that was just weird. That was just begging for Lucien to grab them, and he did. He stuffed them carefully into the bag and as he was about to continue on... an irate bird attacked him.
"Wah!" He let out, spinning around to face the bird. "Hey! Quit it!"
The bird would not quit it, and Lucien could not figure out why.
"I love birds, why do you not love me?" He yelped, but the bird kept pecking at him furiously. He was tired of things attacking him, it was too much in such a short period of time! Too much! Lucien grabbed the bird, "EAT STEVE," he said, putting the bird in the bag and quickly closing it. There was something about that bird that reminded him of someone... someone. He couldn't quite put his finger on it but it reminded him of someone he knew.
He had enough of this swamp though, and quickly hurried out.
He didn't even bother with a plate. He carefully reached into the bag and grabbed the ball of... well, whatever it was, he grabbed it. He then used it to pick out the thorny flower. It finally crumbled all over the table.
He took the pink petals off of the flower and stuck them into a pot of water. The pink colour and all of the fibre and taste were slowly seeping into the water. It would make a fine coating. He couldn't help but grumble as he heard slight squawking coming from the bag.
Then he brushed the crumbled stuff off the table from the ball that hit him in the head and dusted that into the pot of pink flower sauce, it thickening the liquid into something closer to a paste. It wasn't thick enough though, so he absent-mindedly opened the bag to grab the eggs and the bird, even more angry than it was before, flew out.
"Ah!" He hollered, throwing the eggs into the pot as he went to defend himself from the very irate bird. He heard a bubbling noise, and carefully peeked into the pot to see the eggs had broken when they landed in the pot and they were just yolk. It was not a pleasant looking yolk, a very bright blue yellow colour. They weren't even fertilized!
"Whhhhyyyyyyyy?" He said as the bird pecked him again.
The bird flew back a little and spun around and then flew back at Lucien. This time he ducked, and the bird flew right into the pot. The bird was knocked out cold and since it didn't struggle to get out the liquid paste inside of the pot attached itself to the bird. Then the strangest thing happened: the moth finally left Lucien's head and landed on the bird's head. It got stuck and it wiggled unhappily, sprinkling it's moth dust all in the pot. That couldn't be healthy, but that would be perfect for Steve!
The day was finally starting to turn around and he was finally done.
He put up the final touches. A sign on the table. "For Steve,
P.S. Do not eat miss Glutton."
And then Lucien was gone, off somewhere getting ice for his head.

Entry: Hrmmn... well, these things didn't look like much but it was what she has, so better make the best of it! Gluttony rubbed her hands together in gleeful anticipation of these highly poisonous ingredients all getting into Steve's system at the same time. It would be ever so lovely to watch him twitch and foam at the mouth and eventually keel over and die, oooh yes~
But first. She had to figure out how to make them look not only edible, but perfectly yummy, so that he simply couldn't help but gobble them all up. Hmm...
Picking up a mortar and pestle, the girl began by grinding the mushrooms into a sort of paste, adding some water to thicken it. Then she managed to somehow mold this paste into the shape of a cake. Eyeing that for a moment, she nodded and then squashed the 'cake' again so she could chop up the curling vines and add them to the mixture. She could claim they were oh ... raisins or something of that ilk.
Moulding the whole mess into the shape of a cake again, she quickly chopped the sticks up as well until they looked rather like quite a lot of small brown sprinkles - and then scattered them liberally over the 'cake'. Next, she used both types of flowers as decorations, and sat back to eye her handiwork. PERFECT. Steve had to eat this. It was too delicious looking to resist.

Entry:
Hmmm, well it seemed she had just enough to make a delicious...heh...heheh....hehehehehe!..ahem tropical drink. After all what was a good meal without something to wash it down with! She knew she loved a good vintage when scarfing. First off she had to make sure Steve had something to drink her delicious concoction out of. Grabbing the colorful large frog she pried it's mouth open, glaring evily at it. Then she pulled it's feet out so it would stand up like a glass. Finally she moved it's arms to act like handles on either side. A nice color beverage container!
"Swallow any of this and it's curtains. And I don't mean the dancing frog kind," she grinned. The frog froze stock still, trembling a bit.
Next she took the hard brown round berries and the ominous-looking berries, plucking them delicately off their branch. She placed each berry in a mortar and pestal to moosh them up. She saved a bit of the mush from the ominous berries for later. Next she mixed both mushed berries with a bit of water. It turned a lovely brown with purple looking swirls in it. Perfect. Next she added bits of the odd crumbling ball of.....something into the mix then gave it a swirl with the spoon. Now it had some munch to it's crunch! She was about to give it a taste before she remembered this was for Steve, not for her. She cackled a bit.
Now to add the tropical bit. She took the large dull-colored moth and proceeded to paint it with the left over berry juice she had saved. She made little designed all over his wings. she put a stick in the frog glass then looked the moth dead in the face.
"You are now an umbrella, so spread your wings and shade this drink," she glared menacingly. She placed the frightened moth on the stick and it immediately spread it's painted wings out, doing it's best to be an umbrella. Excellent! It was done! And just in them.....there's Steve...
"Hey Steve! You thirsty?"

Items Rolled: Large Dull-Colored Moth, A Feathery, Irate Creature, Ominous-looking Berries, Sluggish Snake, Long, Thin Brown Sticks
Prize Pref: Gluttony
Entry:
The swamp was the best place to find ingredients! Obviously if she made the strangest but yummiest food ever it would still work right? Of course it would.
She found a moth that she trapped in a jar, a feathery creature which she just threw in a box, a snake, some berries and some sticks. She could have probably found some other things, like trees and stuff but she was sure they wouldn't work.
Putting her new ingredients in the kitchen she stared at them before having the best idea ever!
She kindly killed the irate feathered thing and stuffed it with the odd looking berries, they would probably just be really yummy. She then used the snake to tie around the feathery creature in a bow. It looked good, yes it did! Stuffed feathered creature with snake bow! She then pierced a hole and put one stick through the creature and propped it up on the other stick, somewhat like a spit roast! She then threw it all in the oven and waited... and waited... and waited.
Eventually that annoying timer went ding and she ran to the oven and got it out. It was a bit hot and she nearly dropped it! She then saw the moth in the jar and rolled her eyes. How could she have nearly forgotten? She squashed it between her hands so it was nice and flat and put it on the creatures head as a decorative piece. She then threw it in the oven for a couple of seconds to help warm it up.
Placing it on the table it smelt, interesting. Her mouth was already watering! The berries all stuffed inside that creature, the snake making a nice edible bow... the moth, well that looked delicious! The sticks just helped with decoration and were to be used for eating as well like chop sticks! Edible chop sticks, why hadn't she thought of that before? Oh yes Steve would love this, it would be the perfect dinner... granted it wasn't a cake but she could eat forever so surely everyone else could but she had to remember, she wasn't eating this one.

This meant that she could only use the frogs as decoration, the flowers as a plate and expertly placing the berries within the open mouths of the unfortunately dead frogs. Well, even if they had eaten the berries they would have been dead too. C'mon Steve! Eat the damn berries!!

Prize Pref: Silver Pumpkin Seeds.
Entry: (POEM TIME)
Savory and sweet,
she devoured anticipation
spitting out anxiety like bones
of fish or chickens.
She faced the task
that only fingers starving
for triumph would face.
With a snap the snake
of sluggish life, death's cousin,
she stretched out
parting hinged jaws.
Small petals, clowns to precious gold,
on overgrown stalks
she then twisted, wrung
together with odorless blades
of pale envy.
Then slowly, torturously like the death
hoped upon him,
she threaded the stalks
through the serpents insides,
dressing the belly.
With unabashed hands
she then snatched
the berries that spoke
of omens like black dogs
mirrored in their color
and thrust them into the snake's belly.
The warms on her hand
made her stomach ache.
Almost done.
With red painted fingernails
she took the month,
drab as a wise woman,
and laid it to rest
between the snake's two fangs.
Mouth wet from her handiwork
she waited
to see if his body
would allow such a thing
to live within him.
