SOPHOMORE BONDING: November

SOPHOMORE MONTHLY BONDING

On this chilly November afternoon, the sophomores meet in the kitchens for a bonding activity with Prospero, assisted by his companion elf, Ambrosia.

Students are broken up into pairs or groups of three, and they're given a basket of secret ingredients that they must make a dessert out of. They have exactly 90 minutes, after which their creations will be judged by Quinn Cunningham, Theresa Noble, Magdalen Gillis, Robin Youngblood, [Senior/Junior Volunteer E]. The volunteer judges won't know who made what dessert. (OOC: Please allow players who do not play a sophomore to have first dibs on volunteer slots. If there are still open spots by 10 PM Mountain Time, then anyone may volunteer.)

Prospero is his usual gentle, supportive self. Meanwhile, Ambrosia keeps giggling affectionately at the proceedings, and seems very excited to watch the volunteers try the (likely questionable) results of this game. There are other house-elves in attendance, ready to assist the sophomore contestants.

Everyone's basket of secret ingredients contains:

Bananas
Candied ginger
Dark chocolate (vegan)
Maple syrup
Curry powder

Each dessert creation must use every ingredient in the basket. House-elves will retrieve any other requested ingredients (e.g. flour, eggs, sugar, avocados), but Prospero will be on the lookout for anyone who is rude or makes unreasonable demands. Contestants are allowed the use of magic, assuming they are responsible with it, and are given access to all the equipment in the kitchen. House-elves will help students with equipment they don't understand, or with anything they feel unsafe doing (i.e. knife use).

The sophomore pairings are as follows:

Hayley & Regan	Joanna & Susana	Solomon & Frances
Gabriela & Micah	Cole & William & Estella	Calvin & Philippa

Please give your character's cooking skills a rating from 1 to 10 and discuss with your partner(s) what your characters are going to make! The results will be calculated with help from the RNG, but volunteer input/reaction may be taken into account.

The winning team gets to pick the menu served to the whole school on Monday for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Ferris nods in agreement about this fudge sauce and totally hands over the chocolate and maple syrup to Ree and told her to start chopping and then looked miserably at the idea of trying to freeze the bananas but that seemed like the hardest part so far and asked for extra milk. She would have explained to Ree how to take frozen bananas and blend them up with a tiny bit of milk to make ice cream which of course needs a bit longer freezing time but whatever they have this.

	Ree is totally enthusiastic and into this. Though she may eat more chocolate than she should. Oops. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ferris likes to pretend she's the worst but she can at least teach people what she knows when she cares. They can always get more chocolate! Once everything is totally together and actually you know...good, Ferris takes a bite and claims they did fucking fantastic and they should get a ten for their ice cream. Damn straight.

	Ree does a triumph - dance and demands a high five or three. "We make a good team," she declares happily. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ferris refuses to admit this but she might get a forced smile and a quiet agreement. There might be an attempt at a high five, this is way too much energy for Ferris and too much admission that something is awesome. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ree is briefly disappointed, but then she shrugs and gets on with life. You do you, Ferris. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
