((alright, so your spreads are set up, you've got a bit of time during the judging to investigate the crowds using whatever you've got at your disposal to play Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boy(s), birthrights, investigation, empathy, etc. If you discover anything it could lead to an upset in the contest or more. ))

Gourmand (Dec 5, 2011 6:43:33 PM)
*So yeah, the three other competing teams were waiting around their food waiting to be taste tested and critiqued, and there were grumbling boggans and cooks from other freeholds and their teams who were talking amongst each other, grumbling about how the contest was rigged and they were sabotaged...*

Emmaline Dupre (Dec 5, 2011 6:44:28 PM)
*Emma is dolled up in purple, gold and green - how better to represent New Orleans than mardi gras colors? - and starts out to investigate the other tables after helping her cousin get his set up. She follows her nose, whiskers a-twitch, to the closest bunch of boggans*

Antoine Bourque (Dec 5, 2011 6:45:03 PM)
((Rocking some birthrights here - perc + Empathy, this could be a harsher roll.))

Gourmand (Dec 5, 2011 6:45:13 PM)
*boggan's boggan's everywhere!*

Gourmand (Dec 5, 2011 6:45:19 PM)
((roll it))

Emmaline Dupre (Dec 5, 2011 6:46:06 PM)
((I don't know who all the teams are! Hence my vote for "closest"))

Emmaline Dupre (Dec 5, 2011 6:46:44 PM)
((oh, there they are. meadowbrook!))

Gourmand (Dec 5, 2011 6:47:40 PM)
*so, yeah, Emma came upon the french feast when the old french boggan woman suddenly appeared barring her advancemeant.* Non.

Antoine Bourque (Dec 5, 2011 6:47:58 PM)
*Antoine has a similar New Orleans purple-gols-gree flair for his hat, but he's rocking his Bobby Hebert jersey loud and proud - his dishtowel, a falcons cheer towel. Because the Dirty Birds are only fit for wiping your hands with.* ((4, 3, 6, 8, 2, 3, 10 for the roll))

Emmaline Dupre (Dec 5, 2011 6:49:07 PM)
Non? *Her ears droop* It smells like snails, anyhow. Though if you had any rejects, oui? Bonjour, by the by. I might be a praline. *She grins toothily at the boggan and extends a friendly hand*

Gourmand (Dec 5, 2011 6:50:26 PM)
*she huffed at the snails comment, but took the offered hand and shook it* After judging I'll let people taste, but not before.

Emmaline Dupre (Dec 5, 2011 6:51:41 PM)
*Her ears perk* Oui? Oh, that's... well, okay, I guess. If you would insist, I suppose. I like mexican food. How long did it take you to get this all together?

Gourmand (Dec 5, 2011 6:53:31 PM)
((Ant would get a basic gauge of the room, no one was considering the multi-kith kitchen a true competitor, thought they were trying to stay in high spirits, Stonehearth wasn't as competitive since they knew everyone was competing for their favor anyways, the french was favoured to win based on sheer enormity of her spread and her pressence... the others who couldn't compete, well something was odd, their tempers were getting flared up since Ant's arrival, and he could tell it was aimed at him and the multi-kith kitchen*

Gourmand (Dec 5, 2011 6:54:10 PM)
Several days of cooking from me and my sous chefs, we had many setbacks that we kept working through.

Emmaline Dupre (Dec 5, 2011 6:55:58 PM)
Oh. Setbacks? For shame... *She frowns* Was there a friday the thirteenth? Or a black cat? But you obviously succumbed to them, looking at this... *sniff, sniff, whiskers a-tremble and a look of longing at the goodies* What happened? How did you manage? ((Yes, tell the pooka your secrets! Everyone confides in the fuzzies))

Antoine Bourque (Dec 5, 2011 6:57:25 PM)
*humming something zydeco-ey and cheerful as he's working the presentation, sidling toward one of the cranky ones who missed out on ths* Mais, I just wished everyone coulda taken a shot at this brass ring.

Gourmand (Dec 5, 2011 6:59:29 PM)
*looking at the very pathetic possum look she sighed and grabbed a few of the home made sea salt caramels and handed them to her* Things. We got our cooking done that's really all that matters.

Gourmand (Dec 5, 2011 6:59:57 PM)
*The boggan that ant just talked to looked at him suspiciously* I'm sure you did...

Emmaline Dupre (Dec 5, 2011 7:01:01 PM)
Oooo... oh, merci! *She blinks, then tries to temper it* Oh, I mean... I -guess- I'll take these. *She tastes one with a happy sigh, eyes half-closed*

Gourmand (Dec 5, 2011 7:01:32 PM)
(perc+alertness)

Emmaline Dupre (Dec 5, 2011 7:02:23 PM)
And you are probably right, that all it matters is that it got done... but overcoming adversity is usually a boring story, anyways, right? ((12/06/11 00:01:52 Emmaline Dupre rolls 5 dice vs. diff of 6 to per/alert: 6, 4, 4, 10, 5 : 2 successes))

Antoine Bourque (Dec 5, 2011 7:03:41 PM)
*there's a little smile* S'aight - I tell you what happen wit' my kitchens?

Gourmand (Dec 5, 2011 7:04:08 PM)
((You're very observant when your eyes are half closed. :D))

Gourmand (Dec 5, 2011 7:04:20 PM)
Random Boggan With Ant: Eh?

Emmaline Dupre (Dec 5, 2011 7:04:41 PM)
((it's the nose! The nose knows!))

Emmaline Dupre (Dec 5, 2011 7:06:31 PM)
*She licks her fingertips for the last traces of the sweets* Do you have any friends here to cheer you on? *She gently nudges with her voice, trying to encourage the boggan to open up with her birthright*

Antoine Bourque (Dec 5, 2011 7:07:04 PM)
Some cooyon made the'selves up look like Mart'a, she make bes' bourbon cake in the state I tell you, but they dressed like Mart'a and the put grapeseed oh'l in everythin' an' took the salt and put it in everything that wasn't salt, and the powdered the salt too. *shakes his head* I almost feel for 'em, messin' wit' Papa Bernards' salt.

Gourmand (Dec 5, 2011 7:12:07 PM)
Oui, though I wish he'd stayed home... or in France... little brothers can be a curse some time.

Gourmand (Dec 5, 2011 7:14:35 PM)
RB: Someone sent a flame elemental to our kitchen last night, nearly killed our prep cook.

Emmaline Dupre (Dec 5, 2011 7:15:07 PM)
All the way from France? *her eyes widen* So french-french, and not cajun? Sacre bleu! But I know all or nothing about little brothers. And big brothers. There are 9 Dupres, and at least half of them are boys. But Bernard isn't really that little, just short, because he takes after mamere, instead of papa, and mamere is very tall, so to speak, a troll amongst boggans, but a boggan amongst trolls....

Emmaline Dupre (Dec 5, 2011 7:16:23 PM)
Now, my little brother, he is not a boggan, nor a pooka, but he could well be a boggan for all the pranks he plays. Does your brother play pranks, too? *A sigh* It is so hard having to be th'mature one...

Gourmand (Dec 5, 2011 7:17:35 PM)
*another boggan, with a deep gutteral french accent came up to Antoine and his friend.* Oui... we had something similar happen... they think Armande did it to try and be able to place in the competition.

Gourmand (Dec 5, 2011 7:18:23 PM)
Josette: Sometimes too well.

Antoine Bourque (Dec 5, 2011 7:19:38 PM)
Shut de fron' door. *eyes* Place of wha? Someone cheerin' for the Lanta falcons? Cause you know the only way they win is if th' other team don't show up.

Emmaline Dupre (Dec 5, 2011 7:19:43 PM)
Oui, oui. Mais oui. Showed me up a time or two. *She bobs her head* Do the chefs get to try everyone's food? I'd think trying everything would be the best part.

Gourmand (Dec 5, 2011 7:21:33 PM)
Josette: It'll probably be tasted at the end.

Emmaline Dupre (Dec 5, 2011 7:23:07 PM)
Who do you think will win? *She leans in, conspiratorial-like* I hear th'French have a shot.

Gourmand (Dec 5, 2011 7:23:37 PM)
Oh, they're afraid they won't be able to compete bein the only multikith competition...

Gourmand (Dec 5, 2011 7:24:23 PM)
Josette: Oh? Maybe. Maybe not... The host seems to have a nice spread.

Emmaline Dupre (Dec 5, 2011 7:26:08 PM)
Hm. I can't tell from here. I will have to inspect that one closer. *She squints at the stonehearth table* What about th'Cajuns? Or the rainbow kith kitchenette? You think they stand a shot? Cajun is almost french, oui?

Antoine Bourque (Dec 5, 2011 7:26:56 PM)
*blinks* How they think that? I hear tell they might know what they're doin'.

Gourmand (Dec 5, 2011 7:27:56 PM)
*and she harumphed at that*

Gourmand (Dec 5, 2011 7:28:35 PM)
RB: Lets face it, when it comes to cooking, we got this don't we?

Emmaline Dupre (Dec 5, 2011 7:29:22 PM)
Non? *She tilts her head* The cajun smells like.. mmm.. *Sniff, sniff* Perogi!

Antoine Bourque (Dec 5, 2011 7:31:52 PM)
Mais oui. *grins* But then if you thin' about it, Anyone mighta sent me 4 turduckens, messed with the salts...*lowers his voice to "CONSPIRACY AFOOT!"* The Duke loves him a good competition, non? ...bless his heart.

Gourmand (Dec 5, 2011 7:37:00 PM)
*RD just looked over at the turducken and narrowed his eyes a bit...like he was thinking about something*

Antoine Bourque (Dec 5, 2011 7:39:18 PM)
*Nods solemnly, not saying anything* After we recovered from the condiments and spices - you get you a membership at costco, it pays you back 3 times I tell you what - someone done made me a gift of turducken. Mais, but them things cook up good under bacon.

Gourmand (Dec 5, 2011 7:41:36 PM)
*the other boggan nodded, the RD boggan just nodded then moved to another group*

Emmaline Dupre (Dec 5, 2011 7:42:22 PM)
Of course, rumor said that the Armada is gonna take it all. Would be a right shame if a boggan didn't win though, right?

Antoine Bourque (Dec 5, 2011 7:42:32 PM)
*Nods in agreement before going to scope out the Sidhe-group of eclecticness*

Emmaline Dupre (Dec 5, 2011 7:43:09 PM)
*One ear swivels, and she keeps tabs on Antoo's table*

Gourmand (Dec 5, 2011 7:45:02 PM)
Josette: Armande was trained by some of the best of the best, so he should do well.

Emmaline Dupre (Dec 5, 2011 7:45:54 PM)
Oh? *Tail-perk* Who trained him? Were -they- french?

Gourmand (Dec 5, 2011 7:47:18 PM)
One was, another was mediterranean.

Emmaline Dupre (Dec 5, 2011 7:51:06 PM)
Many cuisines, many kiths?

Gourmand (Dec 5, 2011 7:55:11 PM)
((Okay, I've got 30 minutes left guys, just to let you know))

Emmaline Dupre (Dec 5, 2011 7:55:35 PM)
Me, I'm sad you speak so highly of him. Lots of folks saying a sidhe doesn't belong at a boggan competition.... mayhaps I go see his food, too. Oh, oh, oh - tasting after judging! I won't be back!

Gourmand (Dec 5, 2011 7:55:39 PM)
((Actually check that... I gotta go now. :( ))

Emmaline Dupre (Dec 5, 2011 7:55:46 PM)
((Alas!))

Antoine Bourque (Dec 5, 2011 7:56:22 PM)
((Sorrow!))

Gourmand (Dec 5, 2011 7:57:06 PM)
((if you guys wanna follow up on anything just post it in your threads, so far the winners are Meadowbrook, then Heart of Fire, then Stonehearth, and in fourth is Armande's group))

Emmaline Dupre (Dec 5, 2011 7:57:53 PM)
((Emma wants to neb around the other two camps! Alas))

Gourmand (Dec 5, 2011 7:58:29 PM)
