First things first, I pass off the Starcalibur to Captain.Cat and ask him to perhaps help with the cooking contest. If we both put 3 actions and some decent fluff towards it, than an AG victory should be almost assured.
Then, I tell everyone that it would be really good if one or two people other than me and Captain.cat were to work on the Cooking Contest. It would provide us with a bit leeway, and I suspect that items made for the contest will be better overall. Also, it would be horrible if we were to lose the contest at this point.
I whisper to the wind: For Anniversarymas, I want an upgrade to the attack-redirecting properties of the portal gun in the quote above. (its in the player inventory)
If it is a free action, I use one of the medkits (at the bottom of the player inventory) on the Scarlet Prince.
I will do my real actions later.
I reach into the present and grab out a better portal making tool
The man considers the present, and decides to use it for good. He whispers to the wind, "I wish that I can find the most convincing informational pamphlet ever inside the present, and upon showing it to the currently Soulraze Builders, they will realize the error of their ways and join the Peacekeepers, along with their currently under construction buildings." Also, if relevant, it would be nice if the pamphlet contained counter-memetics to shut down any loyalty codes or cranial bombs or the like.
FOCUS - IT CARRIES ON
Using the Charge Booster once again, the man furthers his agenda, stockpiling resources at a far away location and preparing to move them into position when the time is right. Two more rounds, and he'd be able to activate the Dockyards and begin refining the Apex into the finest weapon of war the Hexagonafield had ever seen.
12/20
A projection of the man, sent forth by his mind, appeared before Xerath, wagging his finger and tutting. "Xerath, Xerath, Xerath! I'm afraid you overestimate yourself. I'm the only one who can get away with attacking AGs, it's a Player privilege I want to restrict. That's why I'll attack you now, and if your precious Alice gets punished due to your incompetence?" He smirks widely here. "Why, I couldn't care less! Do your best only to cry out when you fall, fool. Wash your neck!"
The projection disappeared as the Apex turned to fire. Its energy cannons, arrayed along its spine, turned as one to face the foe, skyward pointing barrels dropping down to attack angle. So too did the lesser, tighter packed railguns along the sloped armor plate below turn and depress their barrels. Naturally, there was an equal railcannon battery along the other side, but it could not be brought to bear. Such was the disadvantage of broadside design.
As one, the weapon systems fired, after taking a bit of time to acquire their target.
(This is fluff for the Apex attacking Xerath during the EotB, naturally.)
Reaching out to the Temporal Guardian I grant it limited access to it's own time stream, allowing it to alter it to a minor degree. In simple terms the Temporal Guardian can now regenerate its health every turn by selectively reversing time upon itself. (x2)
Finally I use my powers to make a wish that my entities that were evacuated will return to the HEXAGONAFIELD still under my control despite the fact players have lost their entities due to choosing Standard Processing Option in the past. (x1)
Whispering into the wind I say, "For Anniversarymas the only thing I truly want is the ability to make it so my entities will always remain loyal to me, despite whatever bribes, mind control, and the like others might try to take my entities for themselves."
I order the Temporal Guardian to attack the Void entities.
!Update! Attention this is an official update !Update! Very official! Serious business!
The carbonbased-lifeform that brought you this update right now can just be me, Moniker because only Moniker has control over updating, who else could've updated this?
How did I do this?
Well after finding out the secret identity of hungry visitor I visited him. How ironic! And decided to make this update with his account. Where did he go?
Hey hungry visitor! Did you just take over my account? Pretend to be me if you did!
Law of Moniker of the Hexagonafield can't be overthrown, but do you know the law of Moniker?
Everything goes after MY will! Nobody can say otherwise or I will declare your action as [NOT VALID]. That's all. Thanks.
I whisper to the winds... I wish for something that can increase my soldiers damage by a factor of their original damage... To increase their Firepower and get better armor

A Man by the name of Archmage Xilith walks to the HEXAGONFIELD.
Bleeding from his right leg and using his great Voidmetal capped Ichorium Stave as a humble walking stick, he hobbles towards the presents. after casting an obscure shield spell, he uses the wand focus: portable hole to retrieve a potion of instant health, drinking it quickly and sighing as his wound quickly heals.
He surveys the line of presents, looking for the one closest to dark, partially desaturated purple, and walks to it, radiating an aura of regale power... which literally everyone ignores because of his lack of power by comparison to anyone else on the field.

Out from the present he pulls a globule of tainted substance, purple and dripping, though it cannot function so close to the flower which he holds. he runs off to a distant area of the HEXAGONFIELD, bringing his source of taint with him. this shall do nothing yet, or for a very, very long time."I wish for the culmination of my research, the perfect weapon. the taint."
"That which can destroy everything, yet be kept at bay by this simple flower."
"I wish for a single shard, the tiniest piece, keyed to my soul. indestructible except by my will."
"And so I have said, and so it shall be."
/PresentClaimPostSemiNull
"Awwwwwww-"
"... Well that sounds kind of mean."
Taking the present in the seasonal theme, I whisper to the wind. "I wish for something that the Second Scarlet Prince can cuddle, like a giant teddy bear." Then, I reach into the present and pull out what I feel, while revving up my jetpack in case it's something really tall.
"Simurgh, Second Scarlet Prince, Pack of Packed Wolves, Monkeys, there's been a change of plans. Everyone, attack Xerath!"
I looked at the cooking contest. "Hmm. You know, I bet the Foundation could do something pretty cool with
FOCUS: 914 AND PANCAKES
."
After sending the request back to the Foundation, I waited... and waited... Until suddenly a portal opened and two things came through. First, a platter with five delicious-looking pancakes and a stick of butter, and second,Name: Dr. Clef
Date: 12/██/2017
Total Items: Thirty (30) identical buttermilk pancakes grouped into three (3) stacks (Other notable ingredients: Vanilla, cinnamon, ginger), six (6) unopened sticks of [REDACTED] brand butter
Input: Ten (10) pancakes, two (2) sticks of butter
Setting: Fine
Output: The pancakes were uniformly golden brown, due to the fact that they appeared to have been made by heat transfer from a fourth spatial dimension. The butter, after chemical analysis, was found to be completely chemically uniform.
Note 1: Not bad. Anyone want some before they spoil? Bright ate all the butter, though.
-Clef
Note 2: I did not! You did! And also, what just happened? I made a joke about the pancakes being hungry and they just spontaneously turned into pieces of paper saying "[NOT VALID]"!
-Bright
Input: Ten (10) pancakes, two (2) sticks of butter
Setting: Fine
Output: The pancakes displayed small cosmetic differences, due to the fact that they appear to have been made with a different recipe, with similar changes for the butter. Five (5) pancakes and one (1) stick of butter were used in flavor testing.
Note 3: Okay, those were a lot better than regular pancakes.
-Clef
Input: Ten (10) pancakes, two (2) sticks of butter
Setting: Very Fine
Output: Similar results to the second test. The opinions of the researchers who consumed one (1) pancake and one-fifth (¹/5) of a stick of butter each in flavor testing are as follows:
Agent P█████ W███: [Excited gesticulation]
Agent M█████: [Excited gesticulation]
Agent S██████: "Meh. What's so special about them?"
Agent S█████ S. P█████: "I can't really taste anything."
Doctor Alto Clef: "These are really good pancakes."
Input: Five (5) pancakes from the second test, one (1) stick of butter from the second test
Setting: Fine
Output: Upon opening the output door of SCP-914, [DATA EXPUNGED] self-replicating [DATA EXPUNGED] emergency relative defictionalization [DATA EXPUNGED] when Mr. Davis was contacted, SCP-3086 breached containment when the conversation derailed into the subject of a blue cat [DATA EXPUNGED] But you know who pays a lot more respect to his characters than Mister Davis? My creator Saul Szyslak, that's who! He made every single panel absolutely unique! [DATA EXPUNGED] And- Oh. Oh dear. This place doesn't look friendly. I think I want to go back.
I turned the page over, and found some handwriting on the back. "Nice going. Now I have to avert the avertion of the assassination of Kennedy while wearing a teal chinchilla suit. -TX"
"Ooooookaaaay. Well, by process of elimination, I guess this is from the third test."
Still a little baffled, I enter the pancakes into the cooking contest.
Taking a short break from cooking, Arsenical wanders over to the box in the center of the hexagonafield. "Tis' the season, ey?"
There was a few things he could get. His memories back, Travelius back, hot chocolate, maybe a pony, but no. He could get all of that later. Right now, he needs one thing, and one thing only.
"For Hexagonamas, I wish... That I can be freed from all debts, and all oaths! I want to be freeeeeeeeeeeeee!"
While he waits for that to take effect (or some other effect, knowing our hero's luck), he decided to take part in some other actions.
Action Number One & Two: Humble Tea
Well, back to the cooking. He could only make one more thing, but what?
... There isn't many drinks.
So, Arsenical got to work. He pulled his mobile kitchen back into his pocket, and took out only a few items: A worn tea kettle, a set of chipped cups, a small jar of crushed tea leaves, and a comfy mat, for him to sit on.
The kettle is filled with water, and a fire is lit beneath. Our cook thinks of the tea, and of this time of peace. It's nice. With such constant war and destruction, you can forget what you truly want. It is a fragile peace, and it will wither away. But you can gain something from it before the battle is over. Just like tea.
Oh, the water is boiling. Better remove the heat.
Once the heat is removed, the water is poured into the teacups and pot, then the water is returned to the teapot. This was a step that was supposed to keep the cup's temperature consistent, or so Arsenical heard.
Finally, the crushed tea leaves are put into steep in the hot water. The fragments of the plant dance in the water, falling gently, until the rest at the bottom. These leaves weren't special. They weren't grown from a plant that was several thousand years old, or blessed by a god. They were, for all intents and purposes, just regular tea leaves.
But even the most simple ingredients can make a wonderful creation, if you put your heart into it. Knowing all of you, though, I should warn you that that's not literal.
Now, with the tea finely steeped, Arsenical pours the tea into four cups. This tea had no need for a name. It was simply tea.
Action Number Three: TNT! I'M DYNAMITE!
The now MOSTLY FULL-GROWN EXPLOSION ELEMENTAL considers exploding from the pocket.
... Eh, nah. It was comfy in here, and the guy was making tea. That would just be rude.
They kind of wondered how they still fit in the pocket, however, since they were much bigger then when they were a baby.
(5/10)
Ah, if me giving charges to other people doesn't result in me dropping in the neutraladder I'll stick around as an AG then.
Present: the improbabiltiy drive dings and instead of Piono pulling out something out of the present, the improbability drive follows some preprogrammed orders and pulls out "something that will enable Piono to go on a journey of self-discovery while still charging stuff outside of the sidequest... but not yet."
Piono looks out over the field.
"Hmm... I should probably help with the cooking contest. I'm gonna need all three of my actions for this."
Piono messes with his watch and temporarily deactivates the improbability drive.
Piono turns back to the three NPCPs.
"You guys wait here, I'm gonna try and do something crazy"
Piono pulls out what looks like a pizza with a face, then opens up the mouth and steps through it into his inventory.
The pizza's mouth closes and it winks out of existence.
"Alright... food... food... food... Maybe I can prepare something myself?"
"But I don't know how to cook!"
"Hm... maybe there's something around here that can help with that."
Piono begins looking and looking in the food section of his inventory, and finally finds a massive shelf full of cookbooks.
"Betty Crocker's Family Cookbook... 1001 Low Carb Recipes... Food of the Gods! This one looks promising."
Piono pulls the book from its shelf, flips through it, thne sighs and throws it over his shoulder. "Nope, just how to make different kinds nectar and ambrosia. I need something with PUNCH, not just magical endorphine exxageration."
Then Piono notices a light, he turns around, and on a pedastal rising up out of the ground is a cookbook, a cover that is the brown of perfectly cooked steak, with trim of purple the color of the finest of grapes and a golden color that reminds one of fields of ripe wheat, fresh and ready for harvesting to be ground, rolled and turned into the most magnificent of breads.
Piono lets out a low whistle and reads the title of the book. "How to Make Decent Food, by Caelli Apitii, high godking of the cooking pantheon."
Piono flips through a few of the pages, and gasps, "This... it's perfect!"
Piono steps through the pizza portal onto the battlefield, carrying the book under his arm, and a small cube with him.
Piono looks around at the festivities going on, and affirms, hey look! It's actually safe to do stuff. Glad he doesn't need to take up the deck of the Godslayer to make his work have the proper space with which to do things, he sets down the small cube, presses a button on top of it, then begins to back up as the cube rattles around and shakes up. A small voice is heard from the cube. "Hello, thank you for choosing the TechCore Corp instant kitchen. Please select the configuration you would like to use today." "Upscale Italian, please." and the cube shakes even more violently, suddenly exploding outwards into a kitchen with stoves, ovens, a refridgerator, racks of knives and cooking utensils, everything you'd need for cooking Italian food. Piono didn't back up far enough and had a countertop spawn on top of him, and has to lift it off of himself. Great start to the cooking show.
Piono, acfter getting out from underneath the countertop, drags the trash can over to the fridge and immediately dumps all the food into it, before triggering the built in incinerator function, burning all of the food to ash.
"Sorry insta-kitchen, I'm going to be using my own ingredients for this dish." He cracks his knuckles and sets out a menu, with a single item circled on it.
Spaghetti la Deus Rex with a side of Supreme Ceasar Salad and a fine vintage of Extrulean Wine
Action the first: Spaghetti
The first thing to do, is ready the spaghetti. There are four major parts to any proper spaghetti, the noodles, the sauce, the meatballs, and the cheese. We shall do these one at a time, with only the greatest ingredients and the best of cooking techniques.
First, the noodles. In order to make the finest noodles, we need the finest grains. Some would use wheat, some rice, both have their merits, but Glampesh, from the fourth planet of the star Perilon, reknowned for its nearly-glowing golden sheen and a warm taste that envelops the taste buds even once cooked, our first step is to grind up the Glampesh into a fine powder, with these powerful rollers I have brought out of my inventory. The rollers will grind up the flour, and while they are doing that we will begin on the sauce.
Now, there are few things like tomatos, so I will be using special tomatoes, juicy and red, grown under the light of a blue star from the future colony of Andross 5, they have more flavor than just about any tomato you will ever taste. So we set the pot of water (for all the ingredients needed, since the spaghetti noodles are going to need it too) to a boil while we cut the tomatos, and peel them, with a careful edge. It has to be a knife, not a laser edge, as the application of the intense heat might somewhat spoil the flavor of the tomato, fortunately, I have a deft hand. Flashstepping techniques, when applied to cooking, allow for much cleaner and quicker slicing.
We bring the tomato slices to a light simmer, and while they are simmering we move back to the noodles. The flour has been properly ground up, and so we mix it together with some pure salt. Nothing but NaCL, purified through a process of atomic reassembly to ensure no impurities reach into our meal. Anyways, light amounts of salt, mixed with the flour. Next we take an egg, now, I WOULD use a more exotic form of egg, however, chicken eggs are the base used for most Italian cuisine, and I can't change up that without risking having some of the chemical reactions in the cooking process going awry, so we shall remain with the chicken egg (properly selected from a stock of one million for perfect of course) and crack it open into a bowl, before beating it lightly, and then adding it to our flour mixture, mixing it thoroughly. Now, our mixture is a LITTLE bit dry, so, to moisten it up just a little bit, we add a smidgen of water.
Now, we take the dough, and on a lightly floured surface with more of our Glampesh flour, we knead the dough. Careful pushes and strokes to knead the dough to perfection. Once perfection has been achieved, we roll the dough out flat, very thin, and cut it into strips, which we then hang on the rack to dry a bit before we cook them into proper spaghetti.
So, the tomatoes are simmering, the spaghetti is drying, let's start on the meatballs. First we pre-heat the oven, so that that can be ready when we have the meatballs all set up. Meatballs are fairly simple, we simply take a variety of different foodstuffs and roll them together. Let's start with the meat, now, most meatballs use pig or cow meat, that's not exotic enough. Fortunately, at some time in the past, I killed a dragon and butchered it (really wish I could remember that it must've been intense) so I have plenty of meat on hand. The nice thing about dragon meat is that it is naturally spicey and somewhat sweet, so it doesn't really require THAT much extra seasoning to make it taste good, but there are still other ingredients required to make the ball. We have some breadcrumbs made from Glampesh toast (Glampesh, when combined with proper yeast cultures, makes a light, fluffy bread that is savoury and absolutely delicious) a bit of milk from the celestial cows of the cooking pantheon, a bit of that ultra purified salt from before, a power onion (known to make some people temporarily gain super powers) and a perfect duplicate of the perfect chicken egg from before. This is all mixed together in a large bowl with a few drops of Nectar. Not the kind that comes from flowers, but the grand food of the Greek Gods. The ultimate drink, it also works well as a sweet and savoury sauce.
We mix all of these together, and to roll them all together, we will use the rollers we used to grind the flour. But first we need to clean the rollers. A quick power rince from a fire hose with a quick dry of fire magic rerouted from the stoves gets all the food particulates out quite fast, with no water leftover, we just set it into the additional setting, and slide in our meatball paste. We wait a few seconds, and put in a tray, there we go, 12 perfect spheres of meaty perfection. Now, slide these into the fire magic oven to cook...
And now we go back to our pasta! We have it prepared, and now, our water (prepared from the holy springs of Antiqua, among the purest waters you will ever find. Don't worry, Antiqua is a practical goddess and does not mind her holy spring being used for culinary purposes) is at a steady boil. So we carefully slide in the spaghetti noodles, and allow them to cook.
While they are cooking, the sauce needs to be seasoned. The ultimate tomatoes we have, while impressive, are not enough on their own, so we shall use my special blend of 13 spice. A particular blend of Waluigi Thyme, Runner's Leaf, Avendesora root, bacon powder, Anthron (a kind of leafy plant), Sagesalt, Condensed Plastrith, Yellow Spice (yes its an uncreative name), Cumin, Ginger, Coriander, Cinnamon, and Black Pepper. Carefully stir the mixture of special spices into the dish, and voila! The sauce is done.
And with a bit of time manipulation inherent to the cooking suite, so are the meatballs and pasta.
We take the pasta and lay it down in swirls on the titanium plate (silver's for fools), and pour the sauce over it with care. Then plop the meatballs down in strategic positions. Next comes the cheese, which is actually, in this case, a special form of dairy-based ambrosia. It is of the highest quality, but I don't possess the facilities to make it on-site, so I had to just use some I had handy in my inventory.
The Spaghetti is ready.
Action the second: Salad
Salad is a simple enough meal to prepare, you take some lettuce, you tear it up and put it on a plate, right?
WRONG.
Or, well, mostly wrong.
It is normally pretty easy, you just forgot the dressing.
But we're not doing this the easy way!
First off, we need leaves of the most tasty variety, and surprisingly, Yggdrasil, the world tree, has leaves that have quite the flavor to them. The problem is that they come with a woody/waxy exterior. This is simple enough to fix. We simply take them over to the stove and simmer them for a while. The waxy exterior flows right off in the heat, and we are left with a single large leaf that can be broken down to make the proper base for a salad.
Now we move over to the salad plate, and add some ancient grecian olive oil, fit for the gods. Crush some special garlic, crushed in our rollers (once again cleaned out the power way) a pinch of ultra purified salt, a pinch of 13 spice, some striped lemon juice, a dash of nectar sauce, sprinkled cheese ambrosia, and of course, some of that Glampesh bread, toasted to a ripe brown-ness over an open fire pit into croutons, and sprinkled all over the top of the salad.
There we go, that was simple enough.
Action the third: Wine
Finally, we have the wine. Now, the vintage is actually a Discord Reannual grapes wine, which are grown a year in the future, and come up the year before. they are exceptionally sweet, and this vintage has a nutty aftertaste to it, sure to tickle the tastebuds. Normally reannuals also grant visions of the future, but for certain reasons the magical fixtures to the wine have been removed, which shall be explained later.
BUT! BUT!
As we all know, the REAL value to any good wine is the history behind it, not just the age. Any old wine can survive 100 years in an oaken cask at the bottom of a cellar that got bricked over and forgotten, nobody will care. It has to, at the very least, have been buried with an age old pharaoh in his crypt beyond time.
And this vintage has quite the story to it.
First grown during the tumultuous years after Lord Havelock Vetinari's assassination, this vintage is unique in that it's one of the few that was never actually planted, as thanks to the visions of the future the farmer got from drinking it, the farmer decided they didn't have enough time to actually get around to planting their crops and instead skipped country. This didn't help them of course, as they were later eaten by a camel while crossing the Klatchian desert (they got VERY lost indeed) Most of the vintage was sold off to various different noblemen, all of whom began scheming immediately as to how to best take advantage of the patrician's death, which, ironically, was what led to him being assassinated in the first place. The wine's visions became self-fulfilling. All but one case of it.
The farmer took this case with him, along with his numerous other possesions, just in case he needed something to sell later into his journey.
He never got to sell it on account of the aforementioned camel eating.
But providence was on the side of this case of wine, it lay undisturbed in the sands for almost a year before an adventurer, chasing rumors of the last case of the "Doomsayer Vintage" went out into the Klatchian Desert and, by sheer fortune, found the case left by the unfortunate farmer. Having found the entire purpose behind his expedition, the adventurer was able to head home early, and, unbeknownst to him, saving a fortune on hourglasses that he would've spent had his adventure continued onwards.
And so the case of the Doomsayer Vintage was brought back to civilization, where it was passed between a number of different hands before ending up in the vaults of Pseudopolis.
From which it was pulled by a defictionalization device.
You see, there was a certain rich man in the world who decided he wanted to try out the taste of reannual wine, and spent trillions of dollars funding research into how to defictionalize things. Some people tried to recreate reannuals themselves through quantum entanglement, others tried to research inter-universal magic systems, but in the end the only group that appeased him were the ones that reached into the pages of the book and pulled the very object from the story.
The only downsides to this was that it removed any and all magical qualities, and disabled any tech not compatible with the physics system within the current universe.
The man was ecstatic, he now had a vintage of wine straight from the pages of his own fanfic, with a rich and valuable history within a few years, and it was all his. And he tasted it, and it was even a good vintage.
He used almost all of the bottles on parties following up, safe in the assurance that he could just use his defictionalization device again should he run out...
And then the apocalypse came. A nuclear blast not too far away from the man's house rendered everyone within his household dead, and only the contents of the deep basement, including the last bottle of the doomsayer vintage, were preserved.
And there it rested for 200 years before it was dug out by a primitivized tribe of hunter warriors, who found the bottle of wine and set up a shrine around it, worshipping it as an act of pilgrimage.
I wonder how I got it in my inventory.
Oh well.
Regardless, here is your glass of wine, drink it, and remember the wonderful and terrible times this wine has been through.
And now you have your drink. One of a kind and immensely valuable.
(Free Action)
I put up Christmas decor on my part of the HEXAGONAFIELD for the coming of Christmas with a simple eggnog machine to the side.
Settling down on my knees for for such occasion I Whispered to The Wind "May you be Strong Disco-orb chan, so we may meet in better circumstances in the future..."
(Action!)(3Charges)
(1 Charge)
Dusting off my knees of dust or whatever particles that may have gotten on my Robe, I look at the Slots I decided to pull one for this occasion.
(1 Charge)
Waiting for the slot to stop I turned towards my Siths and Bestow them some healing with the cat energy which still lingers in the air.
(1 Charge)
I beckon for the Catmancer Sith to help cast Catnap onto the [V] forces forcing all their units to roll a 6d to stay awake. (They just need to get higher than 2 on their dices to stay awake.)
(Orders)
Cat Siths are to follow their previous orders.
The Catmancer Sith is to use this turn to aid strengthen the effect of Catnap.
FOCUS!
The cheery girl runs at Xerath and uppercuts him before slamming him down on the ground and moving to an armlock to snap his arm off.
Back on the Hexagon field, I single piece of paper is seen "I simple wish for a simple Man of Mirror: For a simple, working solution to one of the AG's problems."
I postpone my Alchemiter Charge 12/15
I FOCUS and start working on my Dish: THE ULTIMATE STEAK OF LEGENDS!!
Preparation step!!
I go looking for the ingredients for the ULTIMATE STEAK OF LEGENDS!! I will need the Sides that sastify all, the Sauce that perfectly complements and the Main Part, the STEAK THAT IS ALL! Also I need some UNIVERSAL INGREDIENTS that will be used for the Cooking and the APPLIANCES OF LEGENDS also for the cooking, I will also need the ULTIMATE CHEFS to actually cook the food
For the UNIVERSAL INGREDIANTS, which are the Herbs, spices and other flavourings. I have been shipped the Salt
from the Dead 7 seas of an alternate Dimension,purified by sunlight for 7 years and 7 Days, exposed to the Moonlight of the Full Moon only,done by the Pure Witch oF Oceans Who has gathered the saltwater with her Bare Hands
I asked politely for the pepper from the pepper plants grown on an Active Volcano, erupting for 13 years, on its Last Eruption, cultivated by the Unorthodox Monks of Time, headed by an Elder Sauceror specialising in Spice, crushed by hand , in a runic altar as a offering and a Eulogy to a Dead Food Goddess
I have finally bought The Herbs from the Hippies and Wizards in Ivory Towers Community Garden,grown organically,magically,glowing with Kindness and zapping with Magic, carefully and tenderly uprooted with Apologies aNd Words of Numbing, Carefully packaged in Arcane Paper and Sent to the Shop in the City of Cheliver, where it sits in the ambience of the City that's both Noisy and peaceful for a year and a day
Next, for the APPLIANCES OF LEGENDS, I will need the PLATINUM FILTER,SAUCEPAN,FRYING PAN and some EVERLASTING DRAGONIC FIRE.
The last one is easy, I just turn into my Dragon Form and breathe out Everlasting Fire and turn back into a human,simple. The Fire heats all equally making it an ideal source of heat for the cooking.
Next the Platinum Everything-Else, I will need to get those from the the Goblin Mines, as the Goblins don't quite like Humans or Dragons, I will have to steal it.Hiding myself in an Invisibility Cloak, I quietly trode to their Storage Chamber and use a Skeleton Key to open it,I then steal some unrefined chunks of platinum ore and escape the mines as quickly as possible before they discovered the missing ores. I then use my paradoxify skills to summon forth the Ghost of Smelters Future-Past, Past-Future , Future-Future,Past-Past and Now-Now. I then ask them to use their Ghost Smelting Powers to smelt the Pure Ghost material of the Platinum Ores into the Filter,Saucepan,Oven and Frying Pan. After doing so I thank the Ghosts and dismiss them before doing a Ritual to Paradoxify the Real Pure Platinum Versions of the equipment.
I then Trick and Persuade some Elementals, Embodiments and Spirits to Enchant the Equipment to Burn away Evil and other such Negativity.
For the Potatoes and Broccoli for the Sides,I head to the Garden of Eden and ask the kind Archangel there to help me pick some Platonic Potatoes and Broccoli of the Heavens
For the Sauce, will be using a Garlic Sauce,for the Garlic,I get the first Garlic cultivated by the Zen Monk of Truth meditating for 1111 consecutive years,living on the Mountain of Despair in the Continent of Depression and Hopelessness,surrounded by the Seas of Hate and Doom
And for the STEAK THAT IS ALL!! I went to the Divine Butcher, to get Steak from the Enchanted Golden Apple Cows, Enchanted by the Creatve majicks of Minecraft, fed on Grass by Terraria, Watered by the Waters of Creation which is created in the First Sun in a Multiverse in the Plane of Creatio, given Life by the Creators and Architects,ifused with Hope,slaughtered in their sleep to prevent suffering, the Steak is infused with the essence of Hope,Creativity and the innate Healing properties of the Enchanted Golden Apple Cows

Actual Cooking!
I set my assistants to their tasks after first placing that Platinum saucepan and Frying pan on the EVERLASTING DRAGONIC FIRE and having the Platinum Oven properly pre-heated to 250F
First,the chefs season the raw steak with salt and pepper and some crushed and uncrushed herbs on all sides before placing it on a wire grid with some baking sheets underneath it and the baking pan,secondly we let it refrigerate the steaks uncovered overnight to dry out their exteriors and marinate the Steak, however as we are pressing for Time, i will set it to marinate off now in a pocket dimension with a time ratio of 720:1.after waiting for a minute,i removed the Steak.
Secondly,the chefs put the Steak(including the herbs and stuff) into the oven and waited for around 27 minutes until their refined Senses tell them tha the Steak is "done", that is the the internal temperature is around 118F.
Third,the chefs remove the herbs before placing it into the frying pan, prepared in advance with a tablespoon of vegetable oil or other high-temp-friendly oil before setting it to preheat,strting to smoke just as the Chefs put in the Steak with a tablespoon of butter as well.They then started tocook, swirling and lifting the steak occasionally, until the Steak is nicely browned on the first side They then Flipped the steaks and get the second side, then held the steaks sideways to sear their edges.Te roma during this is indescriable, ok maybe thats a slight exageration.It smells like the herbs,the butter and the steak cooking all combined into a melting pot of Aromas that tingle the senses and makes the mouth water,i know mine are,you ca nearly taste the steak just with a whiff of the scents.The steak is now done medium-rare,now onto the sides.There is an Aura surrounding the plate that is holding the majestic meal, it becomes made of Ur-metal.
For the Platonic Potatoes, i set th oven to 220F andlet the chefs work thir magic again,literally in some cases.They cut the potatoes in half lengthways, then cut each half into 1.5cm-thick wedges and place in a large bowl. Added the 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt and pepper and used clean hands to toss the potatoes until they were well coated with the oil.They then Spread the potatoes in a single layer over the lined tray and drizzled them with any oil remaining in the bowl.The chiefs the put the tray into the preheated oven for 10 minutes. They then reduced the oven temperature to 200°C , turning the potatoes every 10 minutes, for a further 33 minutes .For the Broccali,they snapped them into medium-sized florets.They then put the florets into a steamer or colander set over the Platinum saucepan full of boiling water. They then covered it with a lid steamed for 5 mins.After that they drizzled some melted butter over the Broccali of the Heavens,somehow there is a Ray of Sunlight shining on the dish now.
For the Sauce,the chefs Placed the garlic, salt, lemon juice, vegetable oil, and olive oil into the saucpan to cook for a few minutes, before adding in some potato starch,thcikening the mixture into a creamy texture, this will be our sauce.However this where my part plays in,i gather some paradoxical energy nd then use the platinum filter to filter all the bad stuff from the energy, i then infuse the sauce with the energy.
i then assemble the full meal,Legends hold that this meal is the Sublime,and is the most delicious steak anyone will ever have,the Medium-Rare steak is perfectly even in colouring and in taste which is said to have knocked giants off with a tiny morsel,the sides have been tasted and then Blessed by the numerous Spirits of the Underneath,for the sauce,the gods may even die for a chance to even taste a drop of its garlicy-godness.
I Whisper to the Wind for a Blessing,Hope in the Worst of Times and an Assurance that there will be a Happy Ending
Action FOCUS :
I chuck a gae bolg , a cursed spear that invokes an image of lightning straight at Xerath . It's forms turns into something strange like as if someone dyed a bolt of lightning blood red and forged into a spear , as if it broke apart and became what it originally was . It twists and spirals like a mad dog constantly rewinding casualty until eventually it bits deeps AND RIPS STRAIGHT INTO HIS HEART . The spear returns unnoticeably bloodier , crackling with red lighting into my hands .

UNIVERSAL SUPLEX : 8/10
Terry: "OH COME ON I OVERSLEPT AGAIN"

Terry: "for hexagonamas i want a bunch of cool swords, i guess"
Terry: "really just out of ideas"
----
FOCUS!
Terry whacks Xerath repeatedly with his microphone-staff. Remember that?
I use the X-blade to cut myself and get some blood on the Statues of me that were named Moniker, but now maybe are no longer named Moniker.
The statues seem to be alive... of course I knew that. Why else would I get blood on the Statues?
The inner Initiator heals the wound instantly and now I got a lot of Driver pillar men.
Attack shield the Driver pillar men.
They should be able to absorb anything that has mass, but better be save than sorry.
X-blade super combo!
Time to make use of these no longer ultra rare X-blades! Me and the pillar-mes shoot blinding rays out of the X-blades.
They free the soul of the body, which weakens and kills the enemy.
1/10 Churge
FOCUS!
The cheery girl decides to heal the Slot Machine by repairing it.
I attempt to figure out what the hell is going on here, and I do it by taking a random PG and using enhanced interrogation methods on it.
To keep the Temporal Guardian alive I summon a pair of completely loyal Rock Monsters to body guard the Temporal Guardian and attack whatever attacks CaptainNZZZ's entities. (x1)The Temporal Guardian now has a small amount of health regen! And wants to attack [V] entities.
Reaching into the present, you get an ENTITY BETRAYAL PUNCH CARD! On it is a slogan: "Every ten entities that betray you, get one entity back!" Nine out of ten holes are punched already. The next time someone betrays you, you can use this to return an entity to your side! Not perfect, but it's insurance!
Your processing response comes through...
EVACUCORP ENTITY STATEMENT:
CLAIM TICKET STATUS: DENIED
Reason: Ticket was processed after Ticket expiry update
However, you also get, thanks to your wish, a sidequest terminal update. It outlays two options you can take from here:
Player-power entity pullout:
You use your player powers to withdraw your entities immediately. The Buff While you Wait service will make them come back with stronger stats, to make up for the inconvenience.
Sidequest option:
You go on a sidequest to navigate the bureaucracy of Evacucorp and retrieve your entities! The Buff While you Wait service will make you get your entities back significantly stronger, and there may be more rewards as well.
I wish that you edit these words into something that gives me my pillar men, my attack and the attack shield I gave them. And if you instead give the godmodder damage I will get myself banned.Alright, I think I'm gonna have to ask you to do these actions next turn. Trying to take over the QM's position uses all three actions, fun fact.
I open the present.
Whilst looking upon the contents of my present my subconsciousness decides to give ronald mcdonald a red lantern ring.
My subconsciousness also upgrades the portals, so now the monkies that come out it have banana guns and drums.
My subconsciousness also summon Sun Wukong the monkey king and fluffles the destroyer of worlds.
Five Mini shadow realm portals open, and mini ronald macdonalds with lantern rings spawn from it each turn.
One of the mini ronald dies and a whisp of shadow goes to ronald mcdonald healing him for 500 health everytime a mini ronald dies it heals Ronald Mcdonald also everytime the mini ronalds kill something it heals ronald by 100 health.
Okay, I figured out what you meant, but... can't you just copy-paste it?I wish that you edit these words into something that gives me my pillar men, my attack and the attack shield I gave them. And if you instead give the godmodder damage I will get myself banned.
Wouldn't be a free action then. Like this is my wish to the wind or whoever wants to give me a present.Okay, I figured out what you meant, but... can't you just copy-paste it?
Finally with a grimace I turn my attention to Evacucorp's refusal to let me claim my entities and choose the second option, time to begin my first sidequest to reclaim my entities from this organization.
OOC: Oh that would be great, thank you.(OOC: If you're really worried about your Temporal Guardian, I can take them off the field until you get back. Sadly, they will not be in Evacucorp so there will be no Buff-While-You-Wait service.)
Taking advantage of the long wait ahead of me I cause a holographic display to appear in front of me that shows my current character stats and with a little Player power I massively boost my charisma stat. No doubt it'll help me in the future when my number finally gets called.As soon as you express a desire to go to Evacucorp Central Office, Evacucorp's Auto-transport Convenience Portal V1.3.2 opens up next to you. You step through, and...
SIDEQUEST BEGUN: PAPERS, PLEASE
You step into a smoothly polished lobby, as the portal closes behind you. You don't see an exit, but you could probably use your Player powers to escape, if you absolutely needed to.
Looking around, it at first looks like a normal lobby. The floor is smooth white tile, there are many chairs set out (all occupied), and the ceiling stretches high above, with a large chandelier hanging in the center. Through the windows, you can see a bit of the other floors. Looks like a standard office complex. But, you can't help but feel something's off...
On your current floor, you see a help desk, staffed by one attendant. You walk over and ask for help. Before you can even begin, she speaks.
Attendant: Hello, and welcome to Evacucorp central offices. We are your headquarters for anything and everything that needs evacuating or storage, from entities to Players to souls. Please take a number and enter the appropriate line for your grievance.
You explain that you have some entities you need to retrieve from an overdue Claim Ticket, and ask to be pointed to the correct line. The attendant points to desk #12, one in a long, long line of stations, each manned by attendants that look almost the exact same. Despite her referring to it as a line, there is nobody actually in any of the lines. Looks like you'll need to wait for your number to be called. Looking down at the ticket, you're number... #2,423,991,081,321. You notice a digital display...
Now serving: #1,890,432,617,992
This might take a while. You guess you'll wait in the lobby... but looking around a little closer, your suspicions about something feeling off are confirmed. All the people sitting in the lobby's chairs are either staring blankly into space, sleeping, or reading a magazine. Everybody looks bored, and none of them look like Players.
Suddenly, you hear a loud "DING!" Everyone sitting starts for a moment, then goes back to what they were doing. The DINGs aren't a common event.
Now serving: #1,890,432,617,993
You don't see anyone move from their seat. This is going to take a long time. Looks like you'd better poke around.

OOC: Oh that would be great, thank you.
Taking advantage of the long wait ahead of me I cause a holographic display to appear in front of me that shows my current character stats and with a little Player power I massively boost my charisma stat. No doubt it'll help me in the future when my number finally gets called.
Flicking my wrist to dispel the holographic display I look throughout the lobby to find the most attentive looking group of people or most attentive looking person sitting in the lobby's chairs and walk over to them. With a small smile on my face I loudly cough to get their attention and once they look towards me I say, "So this line is a real killer, eh?"
Internally face palming at my horrendous attempt at small talk I awkwardly remain standing in front of them, hoping they'll choose to talk to me despite of what I just said.
Shrugging at the man's lack luster response I walk away from him, frowning as I notice how the line continues to slowly move forwards. Clearly staying here and making conversation to pass the time wasn't going to work.OOC: Will do.
You gain Charisma! Maybe you can use this later...
Looking at the people waiting, nobody in particular stands out. You walk up to someone who's... awake, at least. You say your incredible conversation line. His eyes glance over to you for a moment, then back to their original position.
Person: Yeah...
They continue staring off into space.

Nothing changes in the lobby.

Setting up a magical alert-and-teleportation system to inform me when my number gets called and grant me the ability to teleport back here I head over to the staircase and go up to the second floor, might as well see what this Entity Processing Lobby is. Hopefully something in this building will be less boring than the first lobby.
