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.

Scott sighs softly to himself as he makes his way to the food storage unit; rotating the key around and around within his hand. It was nearing sunset and he'd been given the monotonous task of organizing and repackaging today's collection of food. This was, quite possibly, his least favorite chore as the youth had quite a hard time sitting and having nothing to do but organize. He was impatient, and he was restless. The type that, as a child, had given his parents hell whenever they demanded that he clean his room, or- worse- organize the toys within his closet. But, carrying out such a task was something he'd been assigned and something that was considered much more important than the way his toys were placed within his closet and thus he would do it without complaint. He both knew and understood that their faction had to run like a well-oiled machine, carefully planned and carefully maintained. Otherwise, it would all fall apart and Scott certainly did not want to be left out in the open. Factionless and truly alone. He was happy to be given structure; happy to follow orders and have someone to lead him. It made dealing with the situation at hand much easier. It helped him stay sane.
The student slides his key into the door of the storage unit; unlocking it with a sliding click. He pushes open the door and closes it carefully behind him; making sure it was locked again before heading to the table at the center of the room where a pile of food items needing to be repackaged and organized lay in wait for him. He settles into the chair at the table, then grabs the first piece of food and places it in its corresponding container. He continues to do this for the next 18 minutes; scanning the food, placing the food, sighing, just trying to get things done as quickly and efficiently at possible. He remains quiet as he does so, carefully focused in order to maintain some sort of sanity during such a boring thing to have to do. When he stumbles across a pair of twinkies, the male grimaces. Carefully, he opens up the package- releasing a sweet smell that wafted up into his nostrils and teased him with its mouth watering flavor. He hadn't eaten since the morning; and that had just been a hunk of old bread. He inhales deeply. His stomach rumbles. And then he sets to work repackaging them in something less noisy, all the while desperately fighting the urge to shove the treat into his mouth. His inner child throws a tantrum over not getting what it wants, but Scott wrestles the selfish pattern of thinking away. It wasn't just about him, not anymore. It was about survival.
When he's finally done, Scott runs a hand through his dark hair. He stands, and leaves the room; making sure to lock the door behind him and then heading back to the dorms. He returns the key, and decides to go find himself something to eat. His stomach flips and growls. He remembers the way that twinkie had smelled and, without even really realizing it, he licks his lips.
