They know the fate of the world is lying in their hands

Characters: Guy Cecil (guyexplains) and YOU
Location: Everyone's fairy tales
Time: Solstice Event
Summary: The Wonder Chef wanders the land, imparting the joy of cooking to all.
Warnings: Silliness.

There's an object you don't recall being there yesterday. Maybe it's the fact that it's a giant yellow rubber duck sitting in Robin Hood's base in Sherwood, or the fact that it's a green pumpkin in the Princess's chambers. It could be because it's a large bus stop sign leaning on the wall of the evil witch or wizard's labratory. It could be a lucky waving cat on the wicked queen's vanity or a statue of a wooden bear in the fairy godmother's cottage, in any event, the object is new and out of place.

It clearly needs to be investigated.

((OOC: Okay, so this is how I decided to do it. One log for everyone. Post a comment with your fairy tale character interacting with the new mysterious object in their setting, and they'll get to meet Guy the Wonder Chef and be magically taught a recipe. Feel free to have this interaction at any point in your character's fairy tale--right before the happily ever after wedding, or in the middle of the dramatic fight scene or just in some down time, any sort of situation and scenario is fair game!))

((Any format is fine with me, action spam, formal third person, past or present tense. WHATEVER FLOATS YOUR BOAT.))

Guy just regarded Braxiatel for a moment than sighed, leaning on his fork. "I don't really get it myself. And I can't say I understand what you're talking about. But I--" He felt it welling up, that kind of alter-ego urge to spread the love of all recipes, to teach and inspire cooking!

"The only necessary ingredient is rice!" He produced a bag of it, quite possibly magically, he wasn't sure how, and offered it to Braxiatel. But at least he could carry on a conversation again now.

"Er. Sorry about that. Would you mind letting me teach you though? It'll be painless I promise."

Braxiatel paused for a moment as the alter-ego surged up. Having suffered that himself, he decided it was politer to just let the moment pass by without comment. And though he already had considerable acquaintance with Japanese cuisine, he took pity on the poor boy and accepted the rice bag with a smile. "Certainly. It will make for a pleasant anachronism."

"You're really a proper gentleman aren't you?" Guy lifted his fork, waving it in a sort of salute and gesturing dramatically with his other hand. And... Nothing happened. Huh. That always seemed to work for the real Wonder Chef.

"Give me a second here. I'm new at this." And he hunted through his pockets until he found a piece of paper that, conveniently, had the recipe written on it. Go figure. He offered that to Braxiatel instead. "What's the line...? Right. I'll give this to you as proof!"

Braxiatel lifted his eyebrow to the slightest degree. And then a flicker of something sinister passed over him as he took the paper. "I'll add it to my collection. My new bride is sure to enjoy to it." His smile was the curve of a knife.

Wait.

Brax stopped himself. "My apologies. I'm well aware what came over me, and I am not particularly happy with it. But thank you, I appreciate this. Do you need anything from me?"

That was an incredibly creepy smile, and Guy took a surprised step back on instinct. He knew enough what it was like to have the other personality take over, and benefit of the doubt, that's what just happened. But what kind of experiment was the other man in when his personality smiled like that?

"Huh? No. Are you alright? Do you need help?" He wasn't even sure if he could help, but if the man were trapped in something unpleasant... The question asked itself.

"No, no, I know the story and my best friend is my would-be wife for this. We'll manage to avoid a bloody massacre. We usually do." The casual dismissal was genuine; Braxiatel was very accustomed to near-catastrophe, and as it was his life on the line, not Bernice's, he wasn't too concerned about things going wrong.

He smiled at Guy, a little distant but genuine none the less. As Guy said: a proper gentleman. "Thank you, however. For the offer and for the recipe."

"The fact that a bloody massacre is an issue in the first place is what worries me." Guy sighed. There really wasn't much he could do as it was. He couldn't really fight--oh he could cook amazingly, but along with his new-found powers of transformation and some sort of teleportation, he'd lost everything else he knew.

"Alright, if you say so." He could only accept that, right? Already the persona of the Wonder Chef was antsy to move on--he'd fulfilled his role, sitting and chatting was not part of the tale! "...Good luck."
