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!

Even with busy schedules, Dani always found time to make herself proper meals. As tempting as it was to just fall back on fast food and prepackaged snacks, she knew all the sugar and sodium would only make her more sluggish. Still, that didn't mean exceptions couldn't be made here and there. Proper food care was essential among so many students and staff, and in such a situation, all the more so that things were prepared with care.
Even if considered a simple task, Dani took it upon herself to make sure she saw this through properly. At the very least, she hoped to redeem herself from the cleaning fiasco.
Taking the key, Dani made her way to the food storage units, and glanced around. It looked like everything had been accounted for, so her task should be simple. Still, it didn't hurt to double-check, and she did just that.
She took eleven pieces of food, examining to see if they were perishable or non-perishable. Even such a simple mix-up could result in unpleasant experiences if one was not careful, not that she was doubting whoever was in charge of categorizing. Still, better safe than sorry, and once Dani was satisfied, she moved onto the next step.
Perhaps it was partially the fact that she was still paranoid about a lot of things and the fact that she had no need to hurry, but the research assistant spent more time than usual with organizing everything, taking a little over a minute for each item. It was probably a good thing this was not a retail position or being monitored by an impatient person, as even the usually-quick researcher would have been appalled at how long she was taking.
After that, onto the next step. Among the 11 pieces of food organized, Dani only found about three that needed repackaging. Perhaps that extra time spent analyzing everything paid off, and saved her the effort of having to repackage everything (or more). However, unease settled once more as Dani held each item in her hand, taking more than 5 minutes to make sure each repackaging was absolutely perfect. In a world where time was money, Dani didn't seem fazed that she was probably taking absurdly long. She HAD to make sure everything was done absolutely perfect, down to the simple fold of each package. It was the woe of being a perfectionist, when even your best work didn't seem to satisfy you.
After much fussing and re-packaging, Dani stood up to admire her work.
She... had done nearly absolutely nothing. In half an hour, she only managed to reorganize 11 items and repackage 3. Had she really fallen so far? There were no excuses. Such a task did not require specific tools, so she couldn't even blame it on that.. not that she should have. Owning up to one's work was just as important as seeing it through, and Dani acknowledged this was unacceptable. Still, what's done is done, and there was no use musing over it. Time to move onto the next task.
