1 pt items
Rosaline Gulper
Seafood
These odd fishes propel themselves by constantly swallowing excessive amounts of warm water and expelling them out of gills near their tails. Seems like a lot of work.
37
4
Amber Goby
Seafood
Rather than for its color, this diminutive fish is actually named for its symbiotic relationship with the Amber Gulper, whose plated flank provides both a bacterial food source and shelter.
40

My ears are still ringing with all the sounds of buzzing insects! Come, chefs, share with me the day’s bounty, and share with me this: What made you choose your specialty?"[/b][/color]
[color=darkblue][b]”Oh, mine? Well, in a way, I think edible chose me.”[/b] Asperitas chuckles a bit with his sheepish smile. [b]”I’m still learning, and I know I have a lot to learn still, so choosing a real specialty didn’t quite seem right. Really, I’m just grateful to be here and be able to learn from both Taurus and Valtorin - they’re amazing chefs.”[/b][/color]
[color=darkorange][b]”Desserts were an easy one!”[/b] His reply was certainly the most excited the gaoler had been since starting Geyser’s Grocery Games. [b]”I know I certainly appreciate having sprinkles on all of my meals, but there are some dragons out there a little too tight in their scales. I do like insects, too, but that’s more of a kinship than a specialty in cooking, I think.”[/b][/color]
[color=purple]Taurus actually seems to blush as he is asked the question of the day; He should have seen that coming! But he was just so focused on his work that it caught him completely off guard. He shakes off his claws and proceeds to wash and dry them, before sitting quaintly to take a moment to really think about his answer. [b]”I didn’t really… choose my specialty. I suppose I follow more in Asperitas’ clawsteps in that regard!”[/b] He chuckled lightly before continuing, [b]”I was simply the best at working with meat and fish. I enjoy other types of cuisine just as much, but when you’re cooking for little ones, you can’t offer them anything short of fully cooked, and it can be dangerous if you don’t take notice of it. I guess… Through my insistence and need to take care of them, I just naturally became better at it, I suppose.”[/b][/color]
[color=darkred]Geyser finished licking the sauce off of his claws as he nodded in agreement, [b]”Indeed, it’s something that intrigues me! Do you choose the food or does the food choose you?”[/b] He mused with a chuckle, standing to face the audience now as his great wings spread wide. [b]”My esteemed audience, thank you for your support and your patience! You certainly are good at keeping me on my toes throughout the Games! I am happy to announce that Asperitas once again has taken the lead for our crunchy cuisine, with Taurus in second and Valtorin in third. Don’t be surprised if the tables turn sharply tomorrow - Valtorin’s specialty is coming up and with our sneaky fae friend, who knows what will happen!”[/b][/color]

[Center][I]Hmmm. Where was he where...
Oh.
Nobleraven was asleep on a table, support basket empty.
Scarlyrn sighs. She had received the request for more inventory donations and because she managed the hoard, it was up to her to answer to requests of the rest of the clan.
Oh well. She had heard who the support ingredients would go to.
Now why did Nobleraven need all these fest currency... it was the Fire Fest. These ones couldn't even be used. She frowned silently as she opened her basket....
Only to find it empty.
She raised her head to glare around. She knew who tricked her.[/i]

[I]
Aaa Dessert. She knew that her fave chef had support incoming.
She knew because she ordered the fest currency while using Nobleraven's name. She was partially excited but also nervous by tricking Scarlyrn.
But it will be amazing. She is master trickster. Troll. Joker.

[b]"Mom! Dad! How do I decide?" [/b]
Casaba slides to a stop, panting, in front of her parents.
"I want them[b][i] ALL[/i][/b] to win. Can't they just make one [b]GIANT DESSERT [/b]and then I can eat it [b]ALL?!?[/b]"
"I don't think that's how it works dear." her father, Spanspek, replies.
Casaba looks crushed that [i]everyone[/i] can't work together and win, and slowly turns away.
"[b]But[/b]... you can show your support to all 3 chefs! Then I'm sure they'll feel appreciated, AND let you have a small taste of their creations." Spanspek quickly replies.
"That's right! Just split up your supplies between all the chefs." Cantaloupe, her mother, chimes in.
"[i][b]Really??[/b][/i] Then that's what I'll do- [b]BYE![/b]"
Her parents chuckle as they watch her sprint off once again.
"Ahh, to be young again!"

[size=3][color=darkred][b]"I always come to love and hate this round of the judging of my games… I am excited to see what our chefs can do with all they’ve learned, and yet I hate knowing that this is the last time that I get to see them for this round. It’s a mixture of emotions! But don’t let that stop you from being proud of being here, from exposing your talents and hearts to your food, and sharing it with me! Come, let us celebrate your creations one last time!"[/b]
The host couldn’t help but chuckle as the chefs brought their food up to him, at least, that which might have passed as edible. As a hope to lighten the chefs moods, well, at least, other than Valtorin who seemed to have enjoyed himself, regardless of the outcome, he decided to ask them one last question. [b]”What’s the worst dish you’ve ever made?”[/b]
[color=darkblue]The obelisk gave a nervous chuckle and shook out his mane. [b]”Oh, well… lots of things, I think. Probably mostly what I’ve made here. I remember those ones, so the one where I had to use all of the weird bits that were on fire?”[/b] He looked up at the ceiling as he considered before nodding to himself. [b]”Yup, definitely that one. It was positively disgusting, and not something I’d want to eat. I’ve still got some if you wanted to try it, though?”[/b][/color]
[color=darkorange][b]”Depends on your definition of worst! Was it the most decorated? Yes! But, it turns out, experimental sprinkles… Let’s just say it’s smart to not mess with sprinkle flavors before you make a confetti themed FlameForger party… Still! Because of that particular mishap, this year I was able to throw another one that turned out quite well! Especially because I wasn’t up here!”[/b] The Gaoler laughs, gesturing to the stage, calling out the actions of mischievous dragons in the audience of the current competition, shaking his mane to help dislodge some of the embers that clung to his craggy hide.[/color]
[color=purple]A dark presence seems to lower over the caldera, yet the smoke clouds look as they always do, despite the warm eyes that seemed to greet the audience upon the inquiry. [b]“Ah. Well. The one that happened to… Grace me with the pattern upon my hide,”[/b] he began, doing his best to shed off the remains of the leaves that were stuck to his wings and feet, albeit with some frustration before he sighed and gave up, offering a small smile as he added, [b]”Unless you count this debacle. At least, this one didn’t scar my skin - just my taste buds!”[/b] The chef began to laugh, Asperitas giggling as he couldn’t help but agree![/color]
[color=darkred]Geyser joins in with the laughter, all four chefs chuckling and laughing off their endeavors as they congratulate one another for their hard work this week. The host proudly stands and gestures to the stage, [b]“An amazing turn out this week, from chefs and participants alike! Thank you, all of you, for all of your support! The winner of our dessert round is no other than Asperitas! With Taurus as second, and in third, Valtorin! Congratulations, chefs!!”[/b]

"I always come to love and hate this round of the judging of my games… I am excited to see what our chefs can do with all they’ve learned, and yet I hate knowing that this is the last time that I get to see them for this round. It’s a mixture of emotions! But don’t let that stop you from being proud of being here, from exposing your talents and hearts to your food, and sharing it with me! Come, let us celebrate your creations one last time!"
The host couldn’t help but chuckle as the chefs brought their food up to him, at least, that which might have passed as edible. As a hope to lighten the chefs moods, well, at least, other than Valtorin who seemed to have enjoyed himself, regardless of the outcome, he decided to ask them one last question. ”What’s the worst dish you’ve ever made?”
The obelisk gave a nervous chuckle and shook out his mane. ”Oh, well… lots of things, I think. Probably mostly what I’ve made here. I remember those ones, so the one where I had to use all of the weird bits that were on fire?” He looked up at the ceiling as he considered before nodding to himself. ”Yup, definitely that one. It was positively disgusting, and not something I’d want to eat. I’ve still got some if you wanted to try it, though?”
”Depends on your definition of worst! Was it the most decorated? Yes! But, it turns out, experimental sprinkles… Let’s just say it’s smart to not mess with sprinkle flavors before you make a confetti themed FlameForger party… Still! Because of that particular mishap, this year I was able to throw another one that turned out quite well! Especially because I wasn’t up here!” The Gaoler laughs, gesturing to the stage, calling out the actions of mischievous dragons in the audience of the current competition, shaking his mane to help dislodge some of the embers that clung to his craggy hide.
A dark presence seems to lower over the caldera, yet the smoke clouds look as they always do, despite the warm eyes that seemed to greet the audience upon the inquiry. “Ah. Well. The one that happened to… Grace me with the pattern upon my hide,” he began, doing his best to shed off the remains of the leaves that were stuck to his wings and feet, albeit with some frustration before he sighed and gave up, offering a small smile as he added, ”Unless you count this debacle. At least, this one didn’t scar my skin - just my taste buds!” The chef began to laugh, Asperitas giggling as he couldn’t help but agree!
Geyser joins in with the laughter, all four chefs chuckling and laughing off their endeavors as they congratulate one another for their hard work this week. The host proudly stands and gestures to the stage, “An amazing turn out this week, from chefs and participants alike! Thank you, all of you, for all of your support! The winner of our dessert round is no other than Asperitas! With Taurus as second, and in third, Valtorin! Congratulations, chefs!!”
Round Five Badges
If you backed a competitor at all (supports or bribes!), you are entitled to take a copy of their medal for yourself! If you bribed Geyser at all, he has a special badge for you, as well! Rumor has it that our sneaky fae, Spanspek, might be handing out some badges of his own behind the scenes, too!
Did you miss out on one of the badges shown below? Decide you want to show your support for a different competitor down the line? Never fear! Geyser will happily sell these like exceptionally overpriced candy after this judging round!
Remember, there are Five Badges per day that you can purchase, so if you don't have all five, double check and order what you need!
