Oscar 0 Posted October 6 #1 Share Posted October 6 (edited) It came to him in a dream. A feast of legendary quality and proportions. An event where the meat was plentiful and the drink flowed freely. A festival of sorts, friends summoned from all over merely for the simple enjoyment of a shared meal. He awoke with a start, gripped with a sudden realization. He was a Grandmaster Cook. What, exactly, was stopping him from cooking bosses? He had the skills. He had the power. And he had people whom he could summon for his newfound goal. Without even taking a moment to think it through, a flurry of messages was sent out. Quote Want to try to cook some bosses. Help. To @Freydand to @NIGHT. @Cordelia and even a couple newcomers he’d heard of (@Wulfrin @Morningstar) . A summons was sent to Floor 24 where they would embark on this grand experiment. He had, of course, noticed the quests in his list. The Information Brokers had done a stellar job of gathering all the details together. But what stuck out to him was not the rewards, but the potential. A crab and a dragon and a massive slime. He could work with these. Make them the centerpiece of his buffet. All he had to do was figure out a way to actually collect them as ingredients. But it was two birds with one stone. A party come together for quest completion. Even if it wasn’t possible, they would all at least walk away with something to show for it. But they were on the very precipice of greatness. And for the first time, Oscar was actually interested in something the game had to offer that was beyond the constant grind for escape. And so he arrived at the beach. As he awaited his companions, he laid out three feasts. Oscar was a Grandmaster Cook. He would not have his friends - new and old - fight on empty stomachs. He had not been so excited in a long time. Perhaps that was because he enjoyed his profession. But more than likely, it was because the entire thing was a massive fuck you to Kayaba. And he simply lived for that.

Wulfrin 0 Posted October 6 #2 Share Posted October 6 (edited) Wulfrin worked tirelessly over his forge. He was desperately attempting to make some last minute preparations to his combat kit. As he finally took a break from his current project, a notification appeared in his peripheral. A player by the name of Oscar, whom he'd heard rumors about from a handful of other players. He sent a brief confirmation of his attendance before donning his charcoal leathers and coat and his current weapon Icingdeath. Wulfrin made his way briefly into the main living space of his home. His newly wed wife was taking a well needed break from her bakery. "Just letting you know," Wulfrin said trying not to disturb his lover's rest. "I'm headed up to Floor 24 to meet with that Glizzy Man we've hear so much about. Apparently he wants my help catching a crab." With little more delay, Wulfrin set out to the included meeting point. There he would find a wonderfully prepared trio of feasts. Apparently Wulfrin was the first to head the call of the fabled chef. "So you're Oscar yeah?" Wulfrin said as he approached who he hoped was he one that sent the invite. "Name's Wulfrin. Recent addition to the Frontline's roster of DPS players. Thanks for the spread." * * * Note: CS Shades of the Gemini is active. If any player objects to this, they should note it in their first post and the skill will be considered inactive.

Cordelia 0 Posted October 6 #3 Share Posted October 6 (edited) @Oscar >> Oscar: Want to try to cook some bosses. Help. Cordelia: << What?? Hello??? OSCAR???? ok. You get used to eating bizarre foods in SAO after a while. Sure, the game still had the standard meats and vegetables, but when you’re in a world filled with man killing flora and fauna, sometime’s you just have to take the bounty that’s given to you– even if “eating” didn’t really fufill it’s original function anymore. That being said, Cordelia isn’t sure she’s ever gotten to taste a field boss before, much less a quest boss. She eyed the message in her inbox warily. Cordelia was more than aware of Oscar’s… eccentricties when it came to cooking, but this vague cry for help– if you could call it that– takes the cake. But she came anyways. Cordelia didn’t know what this excursion would entail, but what’s the harm in indulging her partner’s passion for… cooking giant beasts and whatnot. She was by no means a Grandmaster Cook like Oscar (and she’s pretty sure she hasn’t touch her shop in months) but perhaps this is what she needed to finally figure out what makes a master of the culinary arts! She approached the feast laid out on the beach with a knowing look. “You prepared for this,” she observed. Cordelia wasn’t even sure what they were going to end up fighting, but the amount of buffs on the table was more than enough to tell her that defeating it will be no easy feat– which she should’ve honestly expected knowing it was Oscar that invited her here. With him, it was always go big or go home– at least with these passion projects.

"okay." and the player sighed. she hadn't intended to do much today other than look over paperwork for the multitude of excursions she was meant to execute on, but it seemed that her familiar made it incredibly clear that she should be up and about... hunting down a crab.

During that time, not a soul stopped by the Grand Library of Ronbaru. Occasionally, Destin would check in on him. He was a kind old man, although eccentric. Unfortunately, there was nothing he could tell Morningstar that he did not already know. Books came up empty as well. Some of them were quite literally husks filled with blank pages. A system generated library could only be so useful. Most of what was written was nonsensical, and what he could decipher seemed untrustworthy. "What do you have on mythology? Specifically, the twenty-fourth's gods." Destin stroked his short beard. "Gods, you say? Let me take a look." He returned with a stack of gigantic, old tomes. Star sneezed, wiping a thick coating of dust off one book's cover, his hand leaving behind a clean streak on the worn surface. He opened to a random page and skimmed its contents. "These will do. Thank you." His inbox pinged, notifying him of a message. Oscar was cooking monsters. Okay. "Do you mind if I take these?" Lucky for Morningstar, Oscar's location was close to home. He stumbled onto the beach after a quick and easy teleport, running into a growing party of new and old frontliners. "Morning. Afternoon? What time is it?" Link to post Share on other sites
Acanthus 0 Posted October 14 #6 Share Posted October 14 (edited) Acanthus sat in the low tide of the beach, throwing crumbs to the seagulls that grew more daring with each throw. You could tell SAO’s design team hadn’t been to the beach very often. Here, the birds were cute and shy, hopping to and fro, and gently squawking to tease morsels from the softer players. Real seagulls were downright villainous. Acanthus remembered a family vacation upon which her entire meal had been spirited away by a seagull so grizzled she wondered if it had been a veteran of some long-forgotten bird war. Her meal had not been the first it feasted on, and Acanthus doubted it would be the last. But sitting in the low tide, Acanthus was not fighting to keep her meal. She tossed it piece by piece into the lapping waves. It was the third day in a row she’d done so. Her palate had become more sensitive than ever before. She had initially thought it was some side effect of her time on floor nine. But as the issues lingered, Acanthus realized with some trepidation that her symptoms were worsening. Chewing on rice gave her the distinct sensation that the individual grains were trying to wriggle free from her mouth. Drinks tasted like they had been previously swished around in a stranger’s mouth. Even on her best days, all of her food had a mildly sour aftertaste. The issues were likely all in her head. But that realization didn’t make her meals taste any less spoiled. After gagging on a curry she’d loved in the real world, Acanthus gave up and ventured out to the beach for fresh air. Chunks of vegetables flew through into the surf as Acanthus stared blankly out to sea. Movement caught the corner of her eye. It looked like there were people gathering on the beach around a table. Acanthus even recognized some of the players: NIGHT, Morningstar, Cordelia, and Wulfrin all appeared to be conversing with a fifth, inscrutable figure. The figure was clearly tall, even from this distance. Acanthus’ curiosity overtook her desire for solitude, and she resigned herself to drop by and say hello. As she got closer, she fought to keep her face neutral. The group wasn’t gathered around any table—it was a table resplendent with food. Visually, the spread was downright gorgeous, and she had no doubt the chef’s talent for display echoed his or her culinary experience. Experience wasted on her regressing palate. Acanthus waved to the players she knew before taking a look at the unknown figure. He seemed happy as the center of attention,\ and had a noticeably jovial demeanor. His attitude spoke of a day full of excitement and promise. It would be nice to share some of that optimism. As she took in his physical features, a nagging sense of recognition tugged at her. Something on the first floor, perhaps? But she’d been to all the player shops on the first floor already… All except one. “You’re the man who sells the meat tube concoctions,” Acanthus said with a sense of dawning horror. She struggled to find the right words. “I have… always been… curious. To meet you.” There was some truth to that curiosity. On the other hand, part of her was terrified to meet with the mind which, when confronted with the endless possibilities of a fantasy realm, opened a hot dog stand. Her curiosity now overpowered her terror. “I’m sorry to bother you all unexpectedly. If I may ask, what’s the occasion?” Acanthus | Lvl 55 | ( HP: 780/780 | EN: 92/92 | DMG: 28 | MIT:14 | ACC:5 | AA | EVA:3 | BRN-IM | VAMP-D: 43 | REC: 8 | LD:5 Spoiler Equipment and Consumables Spoiler All enhancements reflected in the stat block unless otherwise specified.
