Bakers, start your baking!
Who: Everybody!
Where: Riegfried and Soy's mansion
When: January 15th; day time for the cooking part, evening for the mingle part.
Summary: Come one, come all to the newest contest hosted by Riegfried and Soy. Today's theme: cooking!
[Daytime - The kitchens]
Throughout the day, the kitchens will be open to all contestants, though any casual onlookers --human, pokemon, or otherwise-- will be shooed out to prevent any cheating.
Each contestant will be directed to a gleaming counter, where they will be able to find everything from your basic whisk and spatula to gleaming kitchen machinery fancy enough to make any cook feel faint with envy. Each counter comes complete with a small fridge (should you need to chill any of your ingredients), an oven, a stove, a microwave -- really, anything you can imagine and it is there. Riegfried and Soy clearly didn't want anyone to run into the issue of not having the right equipment for the job.
At the back of the room are the fridges: tall, imposing fridges made of gleaming metal stocked full of every sort of ingredient you could possibly think of. And next to the fridges, contestants can find rows and rows of shelves, each nearly bowing under the weight of the products placed on them -- from fresh fruit, to spices, to rice and noodles. If you need it, you can find it.
Riegfried and Soy will be flitting around the room like a pair of extravagant Butterfrees, happy to engage contestants in small interviews. Everything for the camera, baby! Because those are also there; they are clearly trying to stay out of everybody's way, but small, Rotom-powered cameras flit around the room for close-ups, while cameramen and women with heavy-duty equipment get the distance shots. Hopefully, you haven't got an issue with stage fright.
[Evening - The show]
And when all is said and done, and the last dishes have been cooked, it's time for the actual show. There is some time between the actual cooking and this part of the evening, during which contestants have a chance to change their clothing and freshen up, but before too long, the mansion's doors open to the guests, who are herded by the cheerful hosts to an enormous hall.
The hall itself is set up with all manner of comforts. There are some small tables and chairs for anyone who wants to sit down for a while. Long tables line the sides of the room, absolutely laden with all manner of refreshments. There is even a special table set aside where the dishes the contestants made (at least the ones that made it to this part of the evening) are displayed and ready for tasting.
The schedule for the night is rather straightforward.
After some meet-and-greet and time for every last guest to arrive, the day's events (cut and edited by a very exhausted camera crew) will be projected onto a huge screen for all to enjoy. The votes will be tallied afterward and awards and prizes will be handed out. The rest of the evening will give the winners a chance to celebrate, the losers a chance to commiserate, and everybody else to clear the buffet of everything edible.

[His own workstation is a mess. It would probably be on parr with Claude's if he'd opted for something more complicated than pancakes, but the thought doesn't seem to occur to him.]
no subject
[After a moment's pause, he offers Steve another slice of starfruit he's holding.] Anyway, nice to meet you! Name's Claude.
no subject
[Experimenting with cooking has never gone well the rare occasion Steve's decided to try being adventurous with it. It doesn't look like it's going any better for Claude either. He feels as though sticking to what he knows has paid off here since here he is with a syrup laden stack of pancakes already finished, and hours to spare before the end of the contest.
He takes the starfruit with a look of suspicion, not sure why he's being so friendly when they're currently in competition. He bites into the fruit slowly, surprised to find he enjoys it. It isn't something he's tried before. It softens him a little, if not completely.]
Steve. [He jerks a thumb over his shoulder towards the Miltank watching one of the other contestants work with hungry eyes.] That's Bessie. We finished ours a while ago.
no subject
[He looks back to his kitchen.] I mean...that probably won't be today. I think I definitely went too far too fast...and now I'm mostly just trying to find something that'll pull what I've got together. Haven't so far, though. [He shrugs and smiles.] It's fun, though. And I got to learn about a bunch of stuff I've never tried before! I don't even know what this fruit is. [He pops the rest of his own slice of starfruit into his mouth.] But if I hadn't entered, I wouldn't be trying it now. It could be worse.
Anyway, nice to meet you, Steve! [He'd wave at Bessie, but she's obviously preoccupied.] Your pancakes look great! I hope there's some left to try later.
