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!

At least it wasn't cooking. Thank God it wasn't cooking. Anyone crazy enough to let the idiot red head near their precious and very much limited, ingredients or more importantly, the stove, would need to have their head checked. Rook was a terrible cook. In fact, any brave enough to sample his food had claimed that the results of his cooking was closer to that of rat poison than anything edible. So it had long since been decided to not let him near the kitchen. But apparently sorting and packaging food was an exception and yet, even that was proving to be more than the twenty-two year old could handle.
A pile. A large pile of food stuffs and how many did Rook grab? One. Just one and it was merely sitting there in the center of the table as he pretended to examine it.

Possibly three minutes had passed and Rook was still staring at that one piece of food. He hadn't touched it since he had placed it there. Nor had he moved from his seat. He merely sat there and stared, like he was expecting it to come alive and jump up at him or something.
Five more minutes and perhaps he blinked. He was completely still now and one might have sworn that there was a thin layer of dust collecting on him.
Finally by the eighth minute, he suddenly came alive and with a proud announcement of "PERISHABLE!" he slapped the food item into its proper pile.

After his little stare down with the food item, Rook settled for attempting to package some of the already sorted perishable food items. Fortunately, they had plastic wrap available to them as well as a lot of spare plastic bags laying around, and after locating a couple clean enough to use, he sat back down at the table to begin the artful task or wrapping. Just treat it like a Christmas present.
It's not like it was going to need to be wrapped perfectly. After all they were going to just throw it in the freezer anyways, and while he imagined not many would complain about a little freezer burn, he was sure the better wrapped it was, the better it would taste.

That was the idea.
Unfortunately, the idea eventually involved two bags per item, not one. But even that didn't seem satisfactory to him. So he went off in search of more bags and more plastic wrap. Should someone be present, they would have told him to stop, but at the moment, no one else was there. He had been left on his own and that was, honestly, never a good thing. Then again, letting him around the food in general was all around, a very bad idea. Rook didn't seem to mind, however, and by the end of his search, all items ended up being wrapped in four bags, along with plastic wrap at the center. A ridiculous and wasteful number to wrap a few amount of food items, but Rook was determined to see to it that these six food items would out live them all. Or at least until meal time. Though why it took him eight ridiculous minutes was beyond anyone.
