 Fortunatly for Talna, her sick husband was not so sick anymore! Feelings of guilt and shame to be leaving his wife walk around men without her husband had healed him to perfect health and he was now dashing toward the town square to help his beloved. "Oi! You ain't no need to worry, darling! Yer husband's here to help ya'll!", he yelled at her as she came into his vision rage. It was clear that a woman couldn't succeed to anything without the help of her husband, so of course, she would be relive to see him. While running across the town square, he had been fortunate enough to hear Gladice annouce the theme through the speakers that had been set up pretty much everywhere. Gaston wanted to be sure everyone would here his beautiful voice whenever he took the stand.
Turner placed himelf next to his wife and started to wash his hands right away. This, he knew he had to do! Especially with being sick and all that only a few hours ago. "I 'ere that we need to make it Gaston? Well, I'm sure ya'll can make a turnip look like him!" Without wasting more time, he grabbed his trusted.... sickle, and started to carve the turnips in order to shape them like Gaston the best he could.

As the theme was annonced, he was momentarily relived! Mediterranean, he could do! Oh, he would start with some spanokopita with tzatziki sauce and -wait, what? The theme was changed? To Gaston? "What kind of a theme is that?", he voiced, outloud. Oh yeah, today just was a horrible day, wasn't it? So... what was Gaston Food? For Keith, that would translate into anything "overboad, fancy and pricey" so, he would try to do somethign like that... He Grabbed some potatoes, cream and earth cherries from the ingrediant stations and brought them back to his cooking station. He would try making some Potato Nest. Surely that was rich enough for someone like Gaston. Golden Potatoes with Rich Cream and Special Cherries, what else would one want? Now, to be sure he was able to carve them properly and Conor was able to not burn the potatoes or the cream and everything would be good... yeah, right.

“I cook. I do now,” She patted a hand to her chest as she looked to said animals, raising her brows as though she were talking down to them.. well, nevermind that, she was talking down to them. Stupid dogs! “You staying.” With that made very clear, she gave a happy smack to the top of the puppy's head and turned to her station. Oh, so many things she could use! She didn't know what to do with that thing-a-ma-bob or those empty-balls or that.. In fact, most of this seemed to have no use to the little girl. She needed stuff she knew! So, grabbing a pot, the child screamed and slammed it down onto the table repeatedly, her eyes screwed tightly shut as Jade came forward to tend to her. Five minutes of scurrying and pleading and the woman had finally guessed her way to victory in the form of a bowl of mud. It was hard to say how Jade had come up with that, but the point stood that, when one green eye peeked down at the desk below, her bright red face had died down to it's usual, healthy pink and she smiled.
Oh, mud~ She knew what to do with that! She giggled and started to sing in varying volumes as she squished the mud into a round shape joyfully, “Pie, pie, pie, piiiie~!” ..It took perhaps ten or so minutes before she was done, and, promptly, discovered her hands were caked with mud. As well as her dress! Stupid mud! She sniffled some, her eyes filling with tears as she looked about frantically to find – ah! “Flo, Flo!” The poodle glanced up at her, reluctantly obedient as she came to the lap being motioned to. Thankfully, the dog was light enough to not bother Lilia – but it wasn't like it mattered much in any case. The second the animal had settled onto the open spaces of Lilia's chair, the child shoved the animal backward into the pie with a smile at the satisfying splat when the dog's behind collided ontop of the mud pie. Ah, she felt better now~ She wiped her hands off on another dog's ears and continued to sing happily to herself.

Unfortunately for Alex, it wasn't as simple as sticking to a certain cuisine, and his expression settled into a deep scowl as the theme was announced. Gaston? What the hell was that about, what kind of food was that? And so he crossed his arms and took a moment to think it over for a moment. What did he think of when he thought of the mayor? Something exceedingly extravagant, almost gaudy. But not necessarily high class, just kind of stereotypically rich. The Sonata's struck him as the kind of person who preferred things that sounded fancy, rather than actually being fancy. Like caviar or something. And so Alex set about cooking, assembling an eel roll with caviar and avocado. It was the sort of thing people would spend ridiculous amounts of money on at the restaurant he worked at in San Francisco, thinking they were having a high class meal, when they really weren't. And while Alex's mood was overflowing with disdain for the mayor as he worked, he couldn't help but enjoy himself, just a little -- he hadn't worked with ingredients like this in a long time. ...And it kind of showed.

 Yuri honestly couldn't help but gawk at June for a moment. Did he honestly think they were going to win? They were a couple of kids, and she knew she definitely couldn't cook, so she couldn't imagine any scenario in which they would be victorious over a bunch of adults. She opened her mouth to question June's confidence, when the start of the competition was announced and she hurried off to the closest available station.
It took her a moment to realize where she was standing exactly. She had access to the equipment, June didn't. Upon realizing that it seemed that she was the one to cook, she turned and stared at June blankly, as if waiting for him to announce that she was in the wrong spot, that he was a cooking prodigy and she would just be charge of arranging things on the plate, and she wouldn't have to worry. But no matter how long she stood there and waited, there didn't seem to be any sort of indication that June was a child genius, and a deep sense of dread settled in her stomach. She was in charge of cooking. Yuri Allen, age twelve, who had never even so much preheated an oven on her own, was cooking.
Well, that changed things. She didn't know who or what Gaston was, but her knowledge of recipes was so limited it didn't matter anyway. Even if she spent every day with Gaston, she still wouldn't be able to cook anything appropriate. And so she stared at the stove and wracked her brain for something. Sometimes, when she was bored, she'd watch her housekeeper cook things for her. She was good at making french toast, so that was pretty regular. And it didn't seem that hard to do, it was just bread and sugar and vanilla and egg and stuff. And so, after giving June a terrified look and figuring out how to turn on the stove, she tried her best to imitate what she had seen her housekeeper do.

After the theme was announced, Ether was already stationed and ready to cook. Of course she made sure her partner was as well. Now, she wouldn't call herself culinary inclined, but she was no where close to being bad at it. Living on your own did that to you. Especially for a 'proper' lady like herself. Though she did feel a bit uneasy about the contest after hearing the theme. Gaston? As in the mayor? That rich guy? "Tch," She clicked her teeth in disgust as she began to think of what to cook. The answer came easy for her though. Rich people liked expensive foods. And even though she wasn't good at cooking fancy foods, there was an expensive one that was easy enough. Ether took out a rather large lobster into one hand and a knife in the other. Gutting the shellfish with ease and taking out its entrails, the red head was obviously making only one possible dish. A nice stuffed lobster. Well she wasn't sure how well she could do. But, taking the meat of the lobster and other choice ingredients she began to make her meal.

When his companion was done with preparing the lobster delicacy, it was up to Avian Stonebrak to make it look nice. He was at a loss. The man wanted so bad to join the festival only to realize that his culinary skill was zero, even at just making the food look edible. He shifted his wait from one side to the other as he stared down the plate. How did one make food look delicious? Doesn't food just being food already have that effect? The green hair on his head shook with his head as he tried to shake the thoughts from his head. He had to concentrate after all! So he did the only thing that popped in his mind. He took the left over shell parts and placed them in the stuffing of the dish, like candles in cake. Why? Well for the same reason he was on this island. For the same reason he became a farmer. And for the same reason he was able to entertain himself as of late. Because of chickens. Because chickens were awesome. So using the red shells he tried to make the dish look like the comb of a rooster. Of course, probably not the safest bet. Yet, very out of the box. Maybe enough to make it work.

Now June, being a compete-aholic, was already quite emotionally invested in this festival. He felt like if he didn't win, he was worthless. Not the best mentality for a ten year old. But... What can you do? And that feeling of worthlessness was riding up on him faster than ever. Why? Well number one, his partner, his ace, his trick up the sleeve, looked more stunned then a deer in the head lights. Secondly, she couldn't cook at. ALL. Not that he could, however that didn't really factor into the disappointment he felt right now. Yet, there was no use yelling, and June knew that. So in his mind, it was up to him to salvage his dish. Of course he was just decorating. But, it that stuck up guy was one of the judges, then appearance would probably mean more than taste. And the boy was quite confident he could make it appear good. So with some powdered sugar, a bit of syrup, and some other nice ingredients, the blonde began decorating the simple dish as best he could. If he could just make it look 'Gaston-y', maybe the pre-teen duo would have a chance.

Now what was little Ray doing at a station? Cooking of course!... Kind of. It's not like the kid actually understood how food could be cooked. However, he wanted to have fun too! That's why the white haired boy decided to team up with his white haired friend and have a go at the festival. As best as two six year olds could do in a cooking competition. And what would there best be? Well for Ray, rocks. Rocks, wires, and some pieces of metal he had carried around with him. The boy didn't know what 'Gaston' was, not that anyone else could discern the theme, but he did know what it sounded like. A robot! And what did robots eat? Minerals. Like rocks, and metal, and wires. The boy felt quite content with his answer. As if he had just answered some impossible riddle. Which might be a very similar event seeing how a child is trying to figure out what he was even doing in this festival in the first place. After putting together his Robo-meal, Ray smiled contently and past it off to his teammate to decorate.

-Eleanor Vatonage, Rune Vatonage, Lucas Grey, & Eet Alvey-Leblanc-Some idle chat later, with Yoakim still glaring at the young boy, it was time to do this! She left her husband, on her way to find the small boy. Now cooking... least that's what Ellie was hoping... but a Gaston theme... wasn't exactly what she was planning on doing. What could she do about Gaston? Something fancy? Something fancy sounded about right. "Come on Wil, time to get cooking" smiled the woman as she took the boy's hand and led him to the station. Smoked Oyster Deviled Eggs. That's what Eleanor was going for. It was something her mother made for every dang occasion at her house, so it was quite easy to remember the recipe. Now it was just doing it... which she did! Prompting the child next to her to add the finishing touch... maybe some salt?

Rune had been feeling bad enough about her little brother attacking her friend, but she hadn't much time to dwell on that. Why? Well the children had somehow ended up competing as well! In the moment her mother took the boy away and Yoakim looked to his grandmother, well they were too close to the stations and one of the servants paraded around put them in the station. Apparently they were in the way. Go figure. The girl had been trying to figure out what they would do in silence, while Ray took over and made a meal, passing it over to her. "...Um..." What could go with that? Ah! Flowers! Flowers went with everything~ So the girl took whatever she could that was a flower or resembled one and decorated the robo-meal.

-Eleanor Vatonage, Rune Vatonage, Lucas Grey, & Eet Alvey-Leblanc-Luckily for the blond, it was time to cook! Or not really because Lucas didn't have any clue what to make. Had it been Mediterranean... oh he still wouldn't know what to do in all honesty. Probably what Alanis told him to do. Now Gaston... Gaston... How was that possible? Maybe make something in his shape? What the heck was Gaston themed food? Luckily, and this it was, the idea of Crab Stuffed Mushrooms came to his mind. Why? Oh well that was probably the last edible thing his mother had brought back from a trip. It was also probably the last meal he ate with her. Oh well, she had repeated the steps so many times from that cooking segment that he memorized them himself. Albeit it not perfectly... it was Lucas after all. Could Alanis salvage it? Good question.
