thank you, that menu took a great deal of planning to create just the right gastronomic journey of complimentary flavors and PUNishments Did someone call?
"Your math is as accurate as your ice cream is tasty, and I share your hope. I just hope all the cooks will still be here."
"Young Lady, I believe everybody that was not....consumed by their passion, is still around." Really though, if GM has a hard time right now, nobody stands to gain from forced posts. Just imagine Firedove is on a 2-week vacation, as she pretty much announced that time frame. Looking forward to reading more from you guys next week :)
I for one like this. Makes me feel good, getting free online karma by someone! We need more Tacticslions.
Oishi sits down at his table, opening a nice bottle of Chianti he aquired from the Wine Cellar. It would go fabulous with the Fava Beans and the Fresh Liver he....aquired...on the market.
Oishi comes unbidden into the Restaurant meeting, and bows to all the fellow cooks "Best of luck to all of you, for the opening night!" Then he hands Chef Sali a scroll of paper, seemingly written with great care and large letters, as he overheard her thinking aloud and got bored earlier It reads: "Greetings, dear Guests, to Lord Schmultzfeathers tower,
Your cooks for tonight, and all future dinings,
First up for Soups, Vincent del Sol,
his Bread Partner tonight, Tessara the Green,
For the second course, chef Bahram von-Humperdinck,
His partnered cook Mimi, Mistress of Chop Fu,
The third dish tonight, part of it meat,
the other part seafood from our very own Gillman,
the grand finale, again split in two,
and Dinte Dolce, the "Sweet Tooth" he's called,
Dear guests, we took enough of your time,
Then, with a smile, Oishi bows, and leaves back for his room
I heart our group of chefs. :)
Languages:
I did alter Oishi slightly, also to make him old(Stats are basically the same as before) and fit with his choosen character image.
I also picked up some Languages. Infernal and Abyssal, it's really weird, but if you are looking for instruction on preparing meals from sentient beings, those are almost the only languages in which you can find proper books on the topic. Additionally, I picked up Elven. Elves have some of the most ancient cooks alive, and that experience translates into some amazing techniques, and learning them first-hand helps a lot. Lastly, I picked up Aboleth, to help with non-land-dwelling creatures, and the oceans have so much to offer in creatures. I have yet to convince a Gillman(*glance towards Kehlysch*) to partake in..er...Dinner ..preparation, though.
After he is done sifting throught the books pages, Oishi stretches his old bones and lays down on the hard bed:"Ah, I can't remember when I last had the luxury of a early-afternoon nap." He yawns, and slightly adjusts his position.
Perception DC 25: "Someone help. Free Polly. Don't eat Polly."
Oishi hears a commotion upstairs.
Only if you speak Infernal:
"Humans, Elves, Dwarfs and Halflings. Basic recipes and storage tips, with a foreword by the Lilin Chef Alis" Only if you're a good sport:
Oishi, asked to remain on standby, had wandered off into the city, originally having planned to take a look at the available seafoods, since he was unable to find the veggie hunter and nobody could tell him where she went. On the market, he found a merchant of exotic wares offering some kind of talking animal. knowledge nature(20):
Trained parrot Hm. Talking is a sign of sentience, even if they sound like they are not very smart. I did decide to try to include more sentient creatures in my creations. I wonder what i could create with those... Checking his pockets, he finds some coins left, and purchases a cage, with two birds inside. "You will make for a delicious dinner!" Oishi explained to them, while heading back to the tower. "Polly hungry", answered one of the birds, and Oishi took that as a go-ahead for his plans. ... ...
"Well, Congratulations to all of you are in order. It would seem I failed to convince the Schmultzfeathers. Your culinary exploits must have been top-notch, I suppose.
This is more joke posting Aye, but my Combat Crunch is not finished yet. I don't want to end up as meat pie. Don't think I'm not well aware of the practise to reduce competition.
Magnificent food, but too much competition. Regretfully must take steps. I am truly sorry I took your specialty. Every single one was already spoken for, i honestly did not want to step on anybodys toes. I really liked your interview, and IF GM decides to choose both of us I would gladly "revise" Oishis specialty to some other form of cuisine.
A seemingly blind man enters the Audience Chamber. "Greetings! I am Lord Schmultzfeather, and this is Lady Schmultzfeather. Who are you, and why do you want to be a chef at my fine new restaurant?" The man bows towards the Schmultzfeathers, then rises and smiles:"My name is Oishi, Oishi Tabemono. I have travelled far and wide, in search of exotic animals to turn into tasty delicacies. Unfortunately, most people do not seem to cherish the "exotic" aspects of my work. I imagine a restaurant such as yours would me more welcoming of my cuisine. As I heared, you are a man of exquisite taste!"
"I see; I see. Which is your Consumable Specialty?"
Oishi answers without pausing to think:"Things that were alive. In all manners and forms. There is so much you can do with them, so much you can do with spices, prepare it in so many forms. It is an art form, I assure you." "Please describe the three Consumable Specialty samples you have brought as we taste them now..." "First off, as a starter, a Steak Tartar with egg yolk, onions, pepper and capers. It really shows off the quality of the meat."
"The second course is a Troll Steak with exotic spices and a fine sauce based on wine and cheese, with a side of carrots and potatos." As the servant that cast detect poison moves to speak up, Oishi continues: "You see, it is a common misconception that troll meat should not be consumed by humans. Some nonsense about it continuing to regenerate, then kill you from the inside. Urban Legend, really. The real reason it is not usually consumed is it's texture, it's usually not a very tender meat. Through some special and secret treatment, however, i made sure that its as soft and flavorful as possible. Please enjoy."
"And the final course, the dessert, so to say, is a bacon surprise. It is a bacon-based flower of flavour, with alternating layers of bacon, spices, cheeses, and vegetables. Do not be unwise, judge it not by it's size, you won't believe your taste buds, taste the flavours as they rise."
"Interesting flavors! Now, explain exactly why I should hire you (and not someone else) for this elite position." "Because this is what I life for. Everything I did was in the interest of furthering my skill and craftsmanship as a chef. My eyes may fail me, but my other senses compensate adequately. I smell, I taste, I hear the food. As I said, cuisine is art, and i'm an artist, and as a man of taste, I am sure you know this." "If you had to describe yourself in three words, what would they be?" Ambitious, curious, savant. "Finally, please indulge me a strange question: What makes you laugh the most?" Oishi takes some time to think:"Indeed, a strange question. I would say the sound of children playing warms my heart. The taste of a new flavour warms my spirit. Alas, I would say what makes me laugh the most, is happiness itself. He who is satisfied with his life laughs easily and often." "Thank you; thank you. You'll be called for if you are chosen. Next!" Oishi thinks for a moment:"Mylord, there is one more gift I want to share with you. Something that often serves as an inspiration for me. If I may be so bold as to approach?"
