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.))

It's been a good day, but a long one. Jamie, garbed in Lincoln green, is making his way through Sherwood Forest, intending on getting a good night's rest before the tourney on the morrow. Blocking his path is a very large, very yellow....rubber duck.

"Hey?"

After a moment, curiosity gets the better of him, and he reaches out to poke at the thing. After all, it's a duck, right? What could possibly happen?

And in answer to what could possibly happen, a flash of light and smoke reveals a blond dressed in an orange chef's uniform, white hat, red cape, and wielding a giant fork like one might hold a quarter-staff. Just a regular old day in Sherwood.

"I am the mysterious gourmet, the Wonder Chef!" The man introduces himself incredibly cheerfully. Might as well get in character. It's almost kind of fun. "I will teach you the mysterious sauce, the exciting spices, the secret of curry!"

[bonnypiperlad]

Okay, that's not what he's expecting, and reflex has him reaching for the nearest weapon before the man's words cause him to do a double take.

"The secret of...what??"

He sounds more incredulous than confused. Robin hasn't a clue as to what curry is. Jamie does a bit, though, and his personality's a bit stronger at the moment, so it makes more sense. But only a little more.

"Why would ye want to go and do that for?"

[explains]

"Didn't I just say?" Guy, or the Wonder Chef that is Guy currently, taps his fork on the ground in emphasis. "Curry! The alluring, mysterious dish of kings. The spices will entice your senses and seduce your taste!"

Producing a recipe card with sleight of hand, he presented it to Robin--or Jamie. Whichever it was at the moment.

"I will give you this so that you may practice! Master this recipe, and be a step closer to perfection on the path of the gourmet!"

"Kings?" Jamie takes the card and glances at it, then gives Guy a very thoughtful look that about halfway through turns into a much more calculating expression as Robin's persona takes back over. It's the type of look that is sizing up the man - and his purse. If he has a recipe fit for kings, perhaps he has been paid well enough to share more than just his cooking technique.

Robin moves, but only in an attempt clap Guy in a friendly sort of way on his shoulder. "Ah, this dish you speak of sounds quite intriguing. Tell me, Master Chef, would you be willing to oversee a man's poor attempt at making this curry you speak of? I and my men would be more than happy to share our meal with you afterward, of course."
