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.

I don't doubt Master Cooks can pull tricks to hide ingredients like that, but there's no need to worry about that with me, young lady. What you see it's what you get. [Which is a huge fucking deal coming from Mr Lying In My Songs For The Embellishment.] My cooking skills, while they do exist, are basic. That is why I decided to choose drinks instead - easier to make a show with them.

[21+ IS EVEN WORSE THAN 18+ DON'T GET HIM STARTED!
Her comment gets a chuckle out of him, but he looks very pleased. Yes, good, praise him more.] Thank you. But as much as I enjoy the taste of a good drink, I'll leave this particular art to the experts, and I shall return to my music. I only looked into it because I wanted to participate in these contests and cooking was the chosen theme. But who knows! Mayhap I may do some mixing again if the situation calls for it.
[Like a party, or a need for a temporary job.]
no subject
[ Jinx is a clever girl. She's also a giant nerd who loves high fantasy and the man's mannerisms and speech patterns remind her of one for certain... She may actually look him up later. ]
If you do well in the contest, you can probably use that as advertisement for your skills. [ little does she know... ] Are the contests always different themes...?
no subject
[He bows for her with a flourish, because that's what his introduction deserves. Or so he thinks anyway, but Jaskier has always had a dramatic way to think of things.]
Using this contest as the push I need for my career is exactly what I had in mind when I signed up! As for the themes, well-- from what I've read during my research, other kingdoms [Regions, he means regions.] have regular contest competitions similar to the gym challenge here. I don't believe those are themed. But from what I understand, the occasional contests held by Riegfried and Soy are indeed themed.

I'm called Jinx. It's nice to meet you. --Oh, that's probably a good idea. It'd be a lot of publicity from the start.
[ Would they get to visit other regions? She's only heard things about Kanto and Johto, but there's 'regional variants' like her own ponyta. But it sounded like everyone stayed here... ]
That makes sense... Have you been here long?

[ She's not happy about that, to be honest- the weather thing. She loves Razor though. 10/10 good wolf boy, would recommend. ]
It's nice that you have someone you already knew with you- and your best friend at that.
no subject
[This isn't based on personal experiences, what are you talking about.
He nods with a big smile on his lips.] Oh yes, I've been incredibly lucky. I wish my instrument had arrived with me as well, but I shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, I suppose. [Except he's totally pouting, because he's a brat that's just trying to keep manners up for the sake of conversation.] I've acquired a new one already - so I have my music, these incredibly Pokémon and my best friend with me, in a new realm with so much to see and discover. Makes it easy for a man to easily make himself at home.
no subject
He's here somewhere, but he doesn't like crowds so I don't know if you'll meet him today. But he's been great to know so far. [ Aside from, you know, the complete lack of understanding people. ]
No, I understand. My sketchbook was left behind too, and it's nice to have a new one but it's not the same. But... otherwise. I think I like it here.
no subject
[They say the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, the idea applies to witchers as well. Well, perhaps not their hearts, but to their company at the very least.
He raises his eyebrows at the mention of a sketchbook.] It was? How curious - I did have my notebook with me when I arrived, right there in my pocket where I left it. Does this mean I'm talking to an artist~?
[Curious scholar is curious!]
no subject
Ah... hm. Maybe it's because I wasn't carrying it? But yes. I draw and paint, and sometimes I make jewelry.
