From the back, however, Geyser himself, after checking in on all the chefs, seems to be working at his own grand station! With an intense gaze, you have to wonder - is he cooking up a trick, or treat? You aren't left to wonder for long, however, as he hoists up a massive basket from his counter and proceeds to fly off! Here, he approached a lair not too far away, one with a notable banner out front, and he goes ahead to place down the basket by the entrance. The basket, a warm wicker wrap toasted with darkened charcoal, was covered in an orange blanket, a small tassel from the top with a name scribbled in. [i]For Flambaby~ From Geyser[/i] Within, the small, lovable dragon would find a bundle of decadent treats, ranging from toasted cinnamon swirls to pumpkin carved cuties, with some bloodspath petals weaved into small toys for easy munchies. In the center, a small health potion and some bat spoons, and another tag, reading, [i][color=darkred]"Get well soon, Flambaby!~ Your spirit is with us during your favorite competition, and I'll make sure you get the best plant delights our spooky chefs come up with, in three days' time!"[/i][/color] [item=cinnamon] [item=pumpkin] [item=blood spath] [item=petal bat spoon] [item=minor health potion] ------- [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/71954509][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/719546/71954509_350.png[/img][/url] Another attendant runs by and -slosh- the sounds of more slime gets thrown into Rosita's stew. Despite what Geyser promised, Rosita's many eyes gazed upwards with a slight glint of malice before she sighed, a light plume of smoke leaving her nostrils; She [i]certainly[/i] noticed! [color=red]"No matter! Honestly, it's fitting, truth be told! Can't be a plague dragon without a little slime~ after all!"[/color] she hums out with a smile, and turns to quickly chop up some dried herbs and places them in a dried leatherback sea turtle shell before scooping up some of the stew she was cooking before the slime could really sink into it. [color=red]"It's all about adapting to overcome your situation! I've got the spirit of the Riot of Rot on my side~ And, the flavor profile to match!"[/color] She pushes herself onwards despite the competition, and you can see some skewers on the back counter that she looks to be working on to prepare for the judging round.

Doing a bump for Mykonos support!

Points allocated up to here!~ Mykonos has taken the lead but Babayaga is right on his heels - will his chilling charcuterie keep his competitors crumbling??~ [emoji=snowflake size=1]

Did you miss any of the action today? Never fear, here they are! Also for view on the first page![/size] [size=3] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/3278027/5#post_55323664]Announcement Day 1[/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/3278027/6#post_55330214]Geyser's Get Well Soon Gift and Rosita's Reaction[/url] [/size] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/F5IsHb4.png[/img][/center] [size=3][color=darkred]”So, how has my engaged audience enjoyed the first round of our Scary challenge? Our dragon chefs have truly kept us on our toes as no one - not even I! Know who is going to be winning this first round! Everyone has a different definition of tastes, don’t you think? Some dragons prefer the subtle, poignant hint of flavor while others would gladly swim in the stuff, as an extreme connoisseur! I, myself, prefer a humble platter of both. So I hope our chefs have been creative with their concoctions today! I expect something truly exotic from Mykonos, sucker-punching flavor-filled from Rosita, and a trip into festive finery with Babayaga… I cannot wait to see who comes out the challenge winner! Ah, I digress; after a full day of meat in the kitchen, I nearly forgot tomorrow’s great choice of cuisine! We dive into the watery depths of all manners to gather the ingredients our audience loves to grill up!”[/color] [size=5]Please do not send in Seafood until 00:30 FR TIME 10/24/24! It will NOT COUNT until that date![/size] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/F5IsHb4.png[/img][/center] ----- Supports are food items donated by the audience (you!) towards your chef(s) of choice! Today’s competition is for [b]Screaming Seafood[/b], so any item that is considered a meat item [emoji=seafood size=1] will be counted as support for today’s competition! Each food point given will count towards one point of support. For example, if you send in one [item=Billy Bass], it has eight food points, and will have eight points of support added to your total support given. [i]Only seafood items will count towards today’s support totals![/i] ----- What’s this? [b]Special[/b] sabotages? To Last All Week? Ahh, I see, I see… Looks like our favorite saboteur is going all in for his favorite part of the games! And how could we deny him when so many of you are his fans!! ♥ 3 point items (Sabotages): You will subtract three points from the competitor’s score this round for every sabotage sent. [item=green goo] [item=green ooze] [item=copper muck] [item=grey slime] [item=green sludge] and all of Baldwin’s colorful varieties! ------ [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/F5IsHb4.png[/img][/center] [color=darkred]As a reminder, there are three stages your participation is [b]absolutely required[/b] in! Don't be shy, get those claws cleaned, aprons on, and protective eye covers appropriately adjusted and come in close![/color] [Emoji=meat][b]Supports[/b] are accomplished by sending one of the prime ingredients from the round to your chosen chef. Supports will add one point to a competitor's score, with each food point counted per support sent. [Emoji=plant][b]Sabotages[/b] are achieved by sending any of the [i]sabotages listed above[/i] - to a competitor. They're working so fast they won't even notice! Sabotages subtract three points from a competitor's overall score for the round. [Emoji=gem][b]Bribes[/b] are performed by handing Geyser a sack of pure treasure or gems with your competitor's name on it. Geyser is quite busy, so will [b]only[/b] take bribes in [b]10k treasure or 10 gem increments.[/b] Every increment of bribe will add 10 points to the competitor's score. ----- [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/F5IsHb4.png[/img][/center] Our badges for this event will be revealed on a day-by-day basis! Remember if you want to collect all the badges, you'll need to participate [b]every day![/b] When we announce the placements for the round, each chef will be awarded with the correlating badge! (First gets gold, second silver, third bronze).

A bribery badge and a sabotage badge! If you support any character with bribery or sabotage, you earn the respective badge!

Totals must be tallied from PMs sent to Reithya before the winners are announced! ----- [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/F5IsHb4.png[/img][/center] [color=brown]Spanspek gestures you over to his sign at his side of the caldera, speaking quickly in a quiet tone. "Remember! If you and a handful of buddies [b](top 5% of participants)[/b] send in the most sabotage daily you get an extra special, [b]non-buyable[/b] chocolate badge that even the great Geyser can't get his claws on!!

Day 1 for Meat ends at rollover in case you badge hunters were hungry for something other than spooky sweets!~ You can find the links to relative posts in my header. I won't ping you again unless asked, thanks again for participating in the past and hope you all have a wonderful Riot of Rot!

@Reithya I'm embarrassed, I completely forgot to get my username changed. If myriadofstars isn't officially removed from any pinglists, could you do so now?

Also, mini scene with one of my dragons and hir daughter.

---

A maren is watching from the sidelines, bouncing in her seat, large magical bubble of water surrounding her gills. She turns to the guardian watching beside her.

"Lib!" she exclaims to her parent. "Who do you think is going to win today's round?"

Libe shrugs hir large shoulders. "It could be anyone," she points out. "Plus that doesn't guarantee a win for the week."

Mina sighs. "I wonder if they'll like my fish tomorrow," she says. "I caught it especially for the competition. And I know you brought along your best spices. You're still rooting for Babayaga, right?"

"I am," her parent replied.

"Well, I still want Mykonos to win. And I know grandad is hoping for Rosita. Guess we'll just have to wait and see."

@harpyja Oh, I'm so sorry, I edited it now! I thought I went through the lists, I'm sorry!~ I also added the cute snippet of the family to the News and Announcements! So cute!! [emoji=seafood size=1]

@bonivich @Reithya [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/20336876][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/203369/20336876.png[/img][/url] Watching the contestants rushing about was fairly entertaining, they were all just brightly colored blurs to Sukh, given her poor eyesight. She had brought some gifts for the participants, but it was hard to decide who she wanted to support. Today's food of choice was meat, meaning she was less interested in the food itself and more in the methods of preparing it. Perhaps she could use some of their techniques when cooking for the meat-eating hatchlings in her lair. Perking up at the thought, Sukh decided to do something nice for the dragons whose cooking had inspired her the most. She'd found some meat when out and about earlier that day, she could give it to them and they could use it in their dishes! Going first over to Babayaga, she waited until it seemed like the Bogsneak had a minute before offering the bats she had carefully stored in one of her many satchels. "I hope you can use these! A few friends and I were in the Forgotten Cave, and we found lots of these. It's so interesting seeing what you can make with the different kinds of meat." She didn't cook much, others in the clan did that, but she was fairly good at foraging. There was a reason, however, that others tended to sort out Sukh's finds for her, as when she went over to Rosita's station, she set out jars of ooze instead of the jars full of various meats she thought she was giving. "I hope you like them," she called, waving cheerily despite that fact that she didn't know if the Bogsneak had even noticed her arrival or what she'd left. [Just wanted to do a cute little rp type thing for the meat and sabotages I sent in earlier :) Sukh means well, but she really should have had her familiar help out with sorting the various things she found.]
