Ladies and gentlemen, I believe
it's officially time to begin the
Great Tornan Cook-Off! |
| 2 |
|
qst701604_msg0002 |
84 |
Please welcome our four contestants,
each of whom has honored us with
their culinary talents today! |
| 3 |
|
qst701604_msg0003 |
84 |
From the ever friendly Café Amicus,
we have Ms. Sorrel! |
| 4 |
|
qst701604_msg0004 |
84 |
Secondly, introducing the owner of
this very inn, Fred! |
| 5 |
|
qst701604_msg0005 |
84 |
Fred has been gracious enough to
provide us with the venue for today's
event. Thank you, Fred! |
| 6 |
|
qst701604_msg0006 |
84 |
Next up, it's the Paragon of Torna
himself, Jin! |
| 7 |
|
qst701604_msg0007 |
84 |
And last but not least, against
everyone's better judgment...
It's the Aegis herself, Mythra! |
| 8 |
|
qst701604_msg0008 |
84 |
Now, the four of you will be competing
amongst each other. |
| 9 |
|
qst701604_msg0009 |
84 |
And to gauge your performance,
here are our esteemed judges! |
| 10 |
|
qst701604_msg0010 |
84 |
Hailing from the arid plains of Mor
Ardain, please give a warm welcome
to Emperor Hugo Ardanach! |
| 11 |
|
qst701604_msg0011 |
84 |
From that same yonder land comes a
scholar and connoisseur of fine food,
Mr. Maulton! |
| 12 |
|
qst701604_msg0012 |
84 |
Our resident gourmet, known far and
wide for her gastronomic gallantry,
Omnom! |
| 13 |
|
qst701604_msg0013 |
84 |
Representing our younger age
group, it's the dastardly duo...
Mikhail and Milton! |
| 14 |
|
qst701604_msg0014 |
84 |
And finally, I, Addam Origo, might
even add a comment or two if I feel
like it. |
| 15 |
|
qst701604_msg0015 |
84 |
Judges, be sure not to let any
personal bias color your judgment.
Trust only your tongues! |
| 16 |
|
qst701604_msg0016 |
84 |
I know. I intend to remain completely
impartial. |
| 17 |
|
qst701604_msg0017 |
84 |
These are dark days, but that doesn't
mean we have to while our lives away
in misery. |
| 18 |
|
qst701604_msg0018 |
84 |
Relax and enjoy the show! |
| 19 |
|
qst701604_msg0101 |
84 |
Ms. Sorrel, would you care to go first? |
| 20 |
|
qst701604_msg0102 |
84 |
Certainly. |
| 21 |
|
qst701604_msg0103 |
84 |
I've prepared Café Amicus's
world-famous five-star offering... |
| 22 |
|
qst701604_msg0104 |
84 |
It's Tricolor Acqua Pazza. |
| 23 |
|
qst701604_msg0105 |
84 |
Tricolor, you say? |
| 24 |
|
qst701604_msg0106 |
84 |
It looks like three things put
together... Isn't that cheating...? |
| 25 |
|
qst701604_msg0107 |
84 |
This is the famous specialty, is it? |
| 26 |
|
qst701604_msg0108 |
84 |
I'm afraid it's been a while since
I last made it, so it might not be up to
scratch but, well...see what you think. |
| 27 |
|
qst701604_msg0032 |
84 |
Change scene with short fade-out |
| 28 |
|
qst701604_msg0109 |
84 |
For starters, meal gets points for
ample serving. Could become regular
after this! |
| 29 |
|
qst701604_msg0110 |
84 |
The delicate notes of all three flavors
mingle in perfect harmony. You'd never
find the likes in Mor Ardain! |
| 30 |
|
qst701604_msg0111 |
84 |
It is exceedingly tasty. |
| 31 |
|
qst701604_msg0112 |
84 |
...I'm gonna leave the leaves. |
| 32 |
|
qst701604_msg0113 |
84 |
It musta been proper hard work to
prepare all three meals from scratch. |
| 33 |
|
qst701604_msg0114 |
84 |
Yes, we mustn't overlook the effort
that was put in to make this feast look
so attractive. A boon to Torna, indeed! |
| 34 |
|
qst701604_msg0201 |
84 |
Fred, if you'd like to present
your dish... |
| 35 |
|
qst701604_msg0202 |
84 |
I don't know how I can follow up that
enormous helping, but here we are... |
| 36 |
|
qst701604_msg0203 |
84 |
This is the most expensive thing we
have on the menu. Hope you like it! |
| 37 |
|
qst701604_msg0204 |
84 |
What have we here?! |
| 38 |
|
qst701604_msg0205 |
84 |
Meat! Woo-hoo! |
| 39 |
|
qst701604_msg0206 |
84 |
Pretty straightforward... |
| 40 |
|
qst701604_msg0207 |
84 |
Go on, tuck in! |
| 41 |
|
qst701604_msg0208 |
84 |
Roasted to the perfect degree. You'd
never find the likes in Mor Ardain! |
| 42 |
|
qst701604_msg0209 |
84 |
I like it. Very palatable. |
| 43 |
|
qst701604_msg0210 |
84 |
Mmm-mm! I didn't know meat could
be so soft and juicy! |
| 44 |
|
qst701604_msg0211 |
84 |
...It's decent. |
| 45 |
|
qst701604_msg0212 |
84 |
Is exceptionally tasty, true, but
cannot help feeling anyone could make
if to be using high quality meat. |
| 46 |
|
qst701604_msg0213 |
84 |
It's a little on the spicy side. Which
isn't a bad thing at all. |
| 47 |
|
qst701604_msg0301 |
84 |
OK Jin, you're up. What have you got
for us? |
| 48 |
|
qst701604_msg0302 |
84 |
Well, Lora? Which one are we going
to present? |
| 49 |
|
qst701604_msg0303 |
84 |
Uhm, let me see... |
| 50 |
|
qst701604_msg0304 |
165 |
Which dish will you present? |
| 51 |
|
qst701604_msg0305 |
165 |
Fried Tartari a la Jin |
| 52 |
|
qst701604_msg0306 |
165 |
Wingberry Cake |
| 53 |
|
qst701604_msg0311 |
84 |
Let's go with the Tartari! |
| 54 |
|
qst701604_msg0312 |
84 |
As you wish. |
| 55 |
|
qst701604_msg0313 |
84 |
Today, I've prepared for you my
special Pan-Fried Tartari. |
| 56 |
|
qst701604_msg0314 |
84 |
More meat! |
| 57 |
|
qst701604_msg0315 |
84 |
Why, that's my favorite! |
| 58 |
|
qst701604_msg0316 |
84 |
... |
| 59 |
|
qst701604_msg0317 |
84 |
It's delicious! I can't fault a thing! |
| 60 |
|
qst701604_msg0318 |
84 |
Plenty to fill tum-tum! Omnom always
give high rating for sizable portion. |
| 61 |
|
qst701604_msg0319 |
84 |
It's so juicy and tender... You'd never
find the likes in Mor Ardain! |
| 62 |
|
qst701604_msg0320 |
84 |
I like meat, but this might be a little
too much for me... |
| 63 |
|
qst701604_msg0321 |
84 |
It sits heavy on the stomach, I fear... |
| 64 |
|
qst701604_msg0322 |
84 |
...S'alright. |
| 65 |
|
qst701604_msg0351 |
84 |
Let's go for the Wingberry Cake! |
| 66 |
|
qst701604_msg0352 |
84 |
Got it. |
| 67 |
|
qst701604_msg0353 |
84 |
Today, I've made Wingberry Cake. |
| 68 |
|
qst701604_msg0354 |
84 |
You look like tough muscle-man,
but make surprisingly girly dish. |
| 69 |
|
qst701604_msg0355 |
84 |
I must say, I never expected this
from you, Jin! |
| 70 |
|
qst701604_msg0356 |
84 |
I can only assume he intended to
catch us by surprise. |
| 71 |
|
qst701604_msg0357 |
84 |
Is cute, scrummy...
Omnom cannot get enough of it! |
| 72 |
|
qst701604_msg0358 |
84 |
It's been so delicately crafted...
You'd never find the likes in Mor
Ardain! |
| 73 |
|
qst701604_msg0359 |
84 |
It's a welcome change from all the
meat. |
| 74 |
|
qst701604_msg0360 |
84 |
It's not too sweet, either. Just right
in my book. |
| 75 |
|
qst701604_msg0361 |
84 |
It's like my tummy is being filled
with happiness... |
| 76 |
|
qst701604_msg0362 |
84 |
...Got any more Cranberry Bells? |
| 77 |
|
qst701604_msg0401 |
84 |
And finally, Mythra. |
| 78 |
|
qst701604_msg0402 |
84 |
Hoping to wow us all with your dish,
are you? |
| 79 |
|
qst701604_msg0403 |
84 |
That's the idea. |
| 80 |
|
qst701604_msg0404 |
84 |
Nice one, putting me in at the end.
Don't think I didn't notice.
Saving the best for last, am I right? |
| 81 |
|
qst701604_msg0405 |
84 |
Actually, I just wanted everyone to
have a chance to enjoy their last meals
before the inevitable happened... |
| 82 |
|
qst701604_msg0406 |
84 |
Hmph. Whatever... |
| 83 |
|
qst701604_msg0407 |
84 |
OK, are you ready?
Feast your eyes on THIS! |
| 84 |
|
qst701604_msg0408 |
84 |
Well. |
| 85 |
|
qst701604_msg0409 |
84 |
Urk! |
| 86 |
|
qst701604_msg0410 |
84 |
It's a surprise, I'll give you that... |
| 87 |
|
qst701604_msg0411 |
84 |
Yeurrggh! |
| 88 |
|
qst701604_msg0412 |
84 |
It's...definitely the one that's left
the biggest impression on me... |
| 89 |
|
qst701604_msg0413 |
84 |
Is afraid Omnom cannot stomach
another bite... |
| 90 |
|
qst701604_msg0414 |
84 |
Actually, I think with a bit of chewing,
it's definitely leaning towards edible. |
| 91 |
|
qst701604_msg0415 |
84 |
It's a very particular flavor... |
| 92 |
|
qst701604_msg0416 |
84 |
Yes, I could get used to this! You'd
never find the likes in Mor Ardain! |
| 93 |
|
qst701604_msg0417 |
84 |
Are Ardainian tastebuds broken
or something...? |
| 94 |
|
qst701604_msg0501 |
84 |
Well, folks, we've sampled all four
meals, and the judges have come to
a verdict. |
| 95 |
|
qst701604_msg0502 |
84 |
I'd now like to announce the winner
of the Great Tornan Cook-Off... |
| 96 |
|
qst701604_msg0503 |
84 |
Ohh, I'm on the edge of my seat... |
| 97 |
|
qst701604_msg0504 |
84 |
Come on, come on... |
| 98 |
|
qst701604_msg0505 |
84 |
... |
| 99 |
|
qst701604_msg0506 |
84 |
The grand prize of today's
tournament goes to... |
| 100 |
|
qst701604_msg0601 |
84 |
Ms. Sorrel's Tricolor Acqua Pazza! |
| 101 |
|
qst701604_msg0602 |
84 |
I'm honored! |
| 102 |
|
qst701604_msg0603 |
84 |
You are truly the finest cook that
Torna has to offer, lass. |
| 103 |
|
qst701604_msg0604 |
84 |
Not many people able to pull off three-
meal combo on one plate like that! |
| 104 |
|
qst701604_msg0605 |
84 |
I know it hasn't been easy for you,
but I'd be so chuffed if you could just
keep cooking like you did today! |
| 105 |
|
qst701604_msg0606 |
84 |
Thank you, Mr. Maulton. I feel I would
not have been able to start looking to
the future again were it not for you. |
| 106 |
|
qst701604_msg0607 |
84 |
Perhaps to reward my efforts, you
would be willing to part with your
closely-guarded recipe? |
| 107 |
|
qst701604_msg0608 |
84 |
That, I'm afraid, is non-negotiable. |
| 108 |
|
qst701604_msg0609 |
84 |
Hey, Addam. |
| 109 |
|
qst701604_msg0610 |
84 |
What's the deal?
Why didn't my dish win? |
| 110 |
|
qst701604_msg0611 |
84 |
Ah, well... |
| 111 |
|
qst701604_msg0612 |
84 |
I believe the problem was simply
that your meal was aimed at too
discerning a palate, Mythra. |
| 112 |
|
qst701604_msg0613 |
84 |
You mean I should have toned
it down?! |
| 113 |
|
qst701604_msg0614 |
84 |
Hard luck, Jin. |
| 114 |
|
qst701604_msg0615 |
84 |
Yeah. |
| 115 |
|
qst701604_msg0616 |
84 |
But I've never done something like
that before. It was interesting. |
| 116 |
|
qst701604_msg0617 |
84 |
Right? |
| 117 |
|
qst701604_msg0618 |
84 |
Like Addam said, the point was for
us to have a good time. |
| 118 |
|
qst701604_msg0619 |
84 |
Yes, and I had a wonderful time!
My heart was racing when they
were announcing the winner! |
| 119 |
|
qst701604_msg0620 |
84 |
All in all, it was pretty good. |
| 120 |
|
qst701604_msg0701 |
84 |
Jin's Wingberry Cake! |
| 121 |
|
qst701604_msg0702 |
84 |
Go team! |
| 122 |
|
qst701604_msg0703 |
84 |
We did it! |
| 123 |
|
qst701604_msg0704 |
84 |
Was very refreshing interlude that
came just at right time, especially
after series of heavy dishes. |
| 124 |
|
qst701604_msg0705 |
84 |
Yes, it could not have been more
well-timed. |
| 125 |
|
qst701604_msg0706 |
84 |
And placed in contrast to Mythra's...
highly combustible concoction...
that came right after... |
| 126 |
|
qst701604_msg0707 |
84 |
It instantly became the highlight of
the event with its exquisite flavor. |
| 127 |
|
qst701604_msg0708 |
84 |
Wait, let me get this straight... You're
saying my dish somehow highlighted
the flavor of the other one? |
| 128 |
|
qst701604_msg0709 |
84 |
In a nutshell, yes. |
| 129 |
|
qst701604_msg0710 |
84 |
Looks like you owe me one, Jin.
Just hit me up if you wanna go
halves on the reward. |
| 130 |
|
qst701604_msg0711 |
84 |
Good call, Lora. |
| 131 |
|
qst701604_msg0712 |
84 |
Hey, it was your cooking skills that
landed us the win! |
| 132 |
|
qst701604_msg0713 |
84 |
Haze's advice also turned out to be
a big help. |
| 133 |
|
qst701604_msg0714 |
84 |
I'm glad to have been of service. |
| 134 |
|
qst701604_msg0801 |
84 |
And that brings us to the end of the
contest. |
| 135 |
|
qst701604_msg0802 |
84 |
But never fear, folks - with your
support, I'd like to host a second one
someday, so keep polishing those skills! |
| 136 |
|
qst701604_msg0803 |
84 |
Perhaps we should switch it up next
time round. I'd gladly cook something
up for a change! |
| 137 |
|
qst701604_msg0804 |
84 |
Omnom quite happy to remain as
judge... |
| 138 |
|
qst701604_msg0805 |
84 |
I'm not complaining. Just as long as
you make sure to hold 'em here! |
| 139 |
|
qst701604_msg0806 |
84 |
We'll do even better next time,
won't we Jin? |
| 140 |
|
qst701604_msg0807 |
84 |
For sure. |
| 141 |
|
qst701604_msg0808 |
84 |
And I'll have to make sure to get
back into my usual rhythm! |
| 142 |
|
qst701604_msg0809 |
84 |
Next time, that first prize is SO mine! |
| 143 |
|
qst701604_msg0810 |
84 |
Please, just...don't. |
| 144 |
|
qst701604_msg0811 |
84 |
The only way she could win is if
she's the only one left standing... |
