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.

He'd mention Ingrid and pegasi, but those aren't really cuddling creatures in... any way.
"Felix, my boyfriend-" One of them, anyway. "-he tries very hard to make a team that will help him against gyms, but he has a terribly sweet fondness for cats. It's really rather cute."

Cough cough, Azusa Shiratori, cough.

"That... sounds rather specific," Dimitri says slowly, maybe more than a little concerned. That doesn't happen all the time, does it...?
no subject
That sure is a sentence she just uttered.
no subject
That is certainly a sentence.
Dimitri tilts his head to the side slowly, trying to just take all that in. "She sounds like a rather selfish individual," he says after a moment, which is true and by far the easiest part of this story to digest. Some people just steal animals for whatever reason. Sometimes it's just a matter of one's pet straying, and the thief not realizing it's an animal already owned. Other times, well... Other times it's more purposeful.
"May I ask how martial arts combines with ice skating?"
no subject
"You know how regular figure skating is two people doing their routine on the ice, trying to look pretty and impressive? Martial arts figure skating is four people on the ice, using their routines to do that and spoil things for the other pair. Basically."
no subject
Something occurs to him, and he pauses a moment. "I hate to impose upon a stranger, but should we ever be in the same city with an ice rink of sorts... Would you mind giving a demonstration some time? He would be glad to see it, and he likes iceskating with people. I understand completely if you refuse, of course."

"If you would not object to it, I could manage somewhat. I've never had a problem with lifting others."
