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!

Food was easy. Food was not cleaning up the messes of other people who had nowhere else to put them. Food was not wandering the halls looking for things that might be useful and risking your safety in the process--the university had always felt somewhat safe, with its high walls and stone facade, but it was hardly an impenetrable fortress. The kitchens were far enough out of the way to be less easily accessible to people who didn't already know where they were. Cerise could breathe a little easier here and still feel like she was being useful.
Cerise felt like she could focus, now, on the task at hand. There weren't a whole lot of perishables left after a month and it seemed like she ate more like a college student now than she had when she had been an actual student. She hadn't even known there were this many different kinds of potato chips until she had little choice but to subsist on them. There had been jerky at one point, but she couldn't bring herself to eat meat. Not anymore. Not after--after what she had seen. She would happily eat junk food for the rest of her life, however long that might be.
She carefully separated out the perishables from the non-perishables. The non-perishables were easy: anything in a can would last a while, and would do so better without her interference; things in bags could be combined for easier and quieter access. It didn't take long for her to separate those out. As for the things that could go bad, Cerise was dismayed to find that some of it had. Without enough electricity to dedicate to the fridges and freezers, things rotted faster and there was simply nothing to be done about it. The milk had gone a while ago, followed quickly by the bread. Some of the fruits and vegetables had had to be eaten before they turned, but there were still some hardy things left. A visual inspection and a quick squeeze and a sniff was usually good enough to determine whether something was still edible. With a frown, Cerise tossed a few pieces of fruit into the trash. She was sad to see them go, but it wasn't worth someone getting food poisoning over.
What could be salvaged was, wrapped carefully in plastic wrap and stored in a big plastic container to keep it further protected from exposure. Cerise put the container in a dark corner of the kitchen storage--not hiding it, just keeping it out of the way, out of the heat and dim light as much as possible. The different types of chips and snacks all went in individual containers. She had considered separating them by taste--salty or sweet or sour--but decided to take the extra time to divide them out completely. Potato chips went in one container, pretzels in another, snack cakes were separated from mini muffins. It seemed so pointless, really, but it filled an extra few minutes, and what else was there to do? Organization was cathartic, and in the chaotic world they now found themselves in, she would take a little bit of peace wherever she could get it.
17 + 10 + 10 + 11 = 48
48/4 = 12
12/2 = 6 credits
