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!

First she had to salvage, now she had to prep.

Kelly wasn't sure which was worse, considering she never really made her own food. Often, it was either something fast or something simple, straight out of the box and into her microwave. After day zero, however, food prep and preservation seemed to change everything. It was all about making portions last, and being able to do the best thing possible in order to prevent anything from spoiling.

Food was a rarity, and bags of cereal did not grow on trees.

Most of what they could find often would be meat from hunting, or cans from houses around the city. Those cans would be in different states, and required re-packaging so they would last longer. It wasn't a glorious process, but it was necessary for survival, and so no one would really complain when assigned to the food storage. Kelly actually preferred it to going out into the dark campus and risking being chased by undying. At least she was (somewhat) safe, and if she had to hold up, she had food to survive.

Stepping into the food storage units, Kelly was glad she didn't have to actually cook anything. Her fellow survivors for the task were determined to keep silent, so she allowed them to move away and went to her own area. Let's see...what was the first thing she needed to do again? Oh, to organize everything by type. Perishable and non-perishables needed to be separated so they could be properly stored.

Stepping up to the pile of items, Kelly quickly went through and organized the fifteen products into their respectful sides. It took about fifteen minutes to determine what each thing was, as well as evaluate if they needed to be re-packaged or if they were ready to go. As she was getting close to the end, she heard one of her peers call out, and tell her that they had enough to add to her re-package side.

Instead of a small amount, she was faced with a large pile of items needing to be packaged. Thankfully, her meticulous evaluation helped her identify the key parts needing to be sealed or closed, and so she was able to focus on exactly where each thing required an adjustment. Unlike the sorting, this step seemed to fly by, as all of the products were superficial.

Stepping back, she eyed her piles and grinned, happy to see she had finished before the others. Kelly grabbed the cans and food and began to take them to their respected location, putting them away on shelves and moving around to fill the time before the other workers finished. It seemed her efficiency was noticed, as the others complained and gave her more to do to help fill the time.

Kelly didn't mind, and she suddenly became a runner to help put away the items the other workers finished re-sealing. It seemed to go fast, and Kelly actually found herself talking to the once-quiet survivors.
