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.
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!

This time, Hitsu had gone to repackage food by herself. It was a safe task, especially since the room was kept locked and secure when no one was inside. After borrowing the key she let herself in and locked the door behind herself - never could be too careful - and pocketed the key for safe keeping before setting to work.
Since she'd already accomplished the task once before, everything was much faster this time around and took less thought. Hitsu often thought too hard on things, making an easy task more complicated than it needed to be. It was both a positive and negative thing about the girl. One couldn't expect her to take the easy way out of anything, but perfection was at times just not necessary or plausible.
In comparison to digging around in rubble and debris in different rooms on campus, this job was much easier - and cleaner - and she could say that she enjoyed it. At least, when she wasn't hungry. It would just be miserable to stare at all of this food if she was hungry. She had been lucky enough to have her rations satisfying her well, so far, though she still worried about others and whether or not they were getting enough to eat. It was realistic to think that Cecil was going without enough, as unlikely as he was to admit any suffering, and she was sure that he wasn't the only one.
Hopefully seven days was not just a rumor that held no truth. She didn't want to see anyone hurt, let alone starving. Starvation would be an even more miserable death, she imagined, than any violence that the infected could cause them.
Hitsu wasn't quite sure why she was amused by the fact she'd managed to grab a Cosmic Brownie in her collection, but was still thankful for the slight mood boost. She wondered if she might run across Justin later, and offer to trade. He seemed quite fond of the treats. It was a surprise that the supplies weren't cleaned out of them, honestly.
Chips, snack cakes, pretzels, popcorn... Hitsu continued her silent bagging of each item she'd sorted, sealing or wrapping them up and setting them aside to reach for the next. She wasn't quite sure if she had a favorite thing among their rations, now that she thought about it. Chocolate was good and all, but it tended to make her thirsty and that just wasn't the best thing when even water was scarce.
They weren't eating at all healthy these days, in quantity or quality. It was baffling to think that they could actually survive on mostly junk food without paying for it by the lack of nutritional value. Something was better than nothing though. They had to make due with what they had. She missed real food, and couldn't help but think about the meals back home.
Hitsu wondered when she'd get to enjoy a family dinner again, and then with a pang of sadness she wondered how many might be missing from their gathering after all of this.
