| 1 | qst701604_msg0001 | 84 | Ladies and gentlemen, I believe
it's officially time to begin the
Great Tornan Cook-Off! |
| 2 | qst701604_msg0002 | 84 | Please welcome our four contestants,
each of whom has honored us with
their culinary talents today! |
| 3 | qst701604_msg0003 | 84 | From the ever friendly Café Amicus,
we have Ms. Sorrel! |
| 4 | qst701604_msg0004 | 84 | Secondly, introducing the owner of
this very inn, Fred! |
| 5 | qst701604_msg0005 | 84 | Fred has been gracious enough to
provide us with the venue for today's
event. Thank you, Fred! |
| 6 | qst701604_msg0006 | 84 | Next up, it's the Paragon of Torna
himself, Jin! |
| 7 | qst701604_msg0007 | 84 | And last but not least, against
everyone's better judgment...
It's the Aegis herself, Mythra! |
| 8 | qst701604_msg0008 | 84 | Now, the four of you will be competing
amongst each other. |
| 9 | qst701604_msg0009 | 84 | And to gauge your performance,
here are our esteemed judges! |
| 10 | qst701604_msg0010 | 84 | Hailing from the arid plains of Mor
Ardain, please give a warm welcome
to Emperor Hugo Ardanach! |
| 11 | qst701604_msg0011 | 84 | From that same yonder land comes a
scholar and connoisseur of fine food,
Mr. Maulton! |
| 12 | qst701604_msg0012 | 84 | Our resident gourmet, known far and
wide for her gastronomic gallantry,
Omnom! |
| 13 | qst701604_msg0013 | 84 | Representing our younger age
group, it's the dastardly duo...
Mikhail and Milton! |
| 14 | qst701604_msg0014 | 84 | And finally, I, Addam Origo, might
even add a comment or two if I feel
like it. |
| 15 | qst701604_msg0015 | 84 | Judges, be sure not to let any
personal bias color your judgment.
Trust only your tongues! |
| 16 | qst701604_msg0016 | 84 | I know. I intend to remain completely
impartial. |
| 17 | qst701604_msg0017 | 84 | These are dark days, but that doesn't
mean we have to while our lives away
in misery. |
| 18 | qst701604_msg0018 | 84 | Relax and enjoy the show! |
| 19 | qst701604_msg0101 | 84 | Ms. Sorrel, would you care to go first? |
| 20 | qst701604_msg0102 | 84 | Certainly. |
| 21 | qst701604_msg0103 | 84 | I've prepared Café Amicus's
world-famous five-star offering... |
| 22 | qst701604_msg0104 | 84 | It's Tricolor Acqua Pazza. |
| 23 | qst701604_msg0105 | 84 | Tricolor, you say? |
| 24 | qst701604_msg0106 | 84 | It looks like three things put
together... Isn't that cheating...? |
| 25 | qst701604_msg0107 | 84 | This is the famous specialty, is it? |
| 26 | qst701604_msg0108 | 84 | I'm afraid it's been a while since
I last made it, so it might not be up to
scratch but, well...see what you think. |
| 27 | qst701604_msg0032 | 84 | Change scene with short fade-out |
| 28 | qst701604_msg0109 | 84 | For starters, meal gets points for
ample serving. Could become regular
after this! |
| 29 | qst701604_msg0110 | 84 | The delicate notes of all three flavors
mingle in perfect harmony. You'd never
find the likes in Mor Ardain! |
| 30 | qst701604_msg0111 | 84 | It is exceedingly tasty. |
| 31 | qst701604_msg0112 | 84 | ...I'm gonna leave the leaves. |
| 32 | qst701604_msg0113 | 84 | It musta been proper hard work to
prepare all three meals from scratch. |
| 33 | qst701604_msg0114 | 84 | Yes, we mustn't overlook the effort
that was put in to make this feast look
so attractive. A boon to Torna, indeed! |
| 34 | qst701604_msg0201 | 84 | Fred, if you'd like to present
your dish... |
| 35 | qst701604_msg0202 | 84 | I don't know how I can follow up that
enormous helping, but here we are... |
| 36 | qst701604_msg0203 | 84 | This is the most expensive thing we
have on the menu. Hope you like it! |
| 37 | qst701604_msg0204 | 84 | What have we here?! |
| 38 | qst701604_msg0205 | 84 | Meat! Woo-hoo! |
| 39 | qst701604_msg0206 | 84 | Pretty straightforward... |
| 40 | qst701604_msg0207 | 84 | Go on, tuck in! |
| 41 | qst701604_msg0208 | 84 | Roasted to the perfect degree. You'd
never find the likes in Mor Ardain! |
| 42 | qst701604_msg0209 | 84 | I like it. Very palatable. |
| 43 | qst701604_msg0210 | 84 | Mmm-mm! I didn't know meat could
be so soft and juicy! |
| 44 | qst701604_msg0211 | 84 | ...It's decent. |
| 45 | qst701604_msg0212 | 84 | Is exceptionally tasty, true, but
cannot help feeling anyone could make
if to be using high quality meat. |
| 46 | qst701604_msg0213 | 84 | It's a little on the spicy side. Which
isn't a bad thing at all. |
| 47 | qst701604_msg0301 | 84 | OK Jin, you're up. What have you got
for us? |
| 48 | qst701604_msg0302 | 84 | Well, Lora? Which one are we going
to present? |
| 49 | qst701604_msg0303 | 84 | Uhm, let me see... |
| 50 | qst701604_msg0304 | 165 | Which dish will you present? |
| 51 | qst701604_msg0305 | 165 | Fried Tartari a la Jin |
| 52 | qst701604_msg0306 | 165 | Wingberry Cake |
| 53 | qst701604_msg0311 | 84 | Let's go with the Tartari! |
| 54 | qst701604_msg0312 | 84 | As you wish. |
| 55 | qst701604_msg0313 | 84 | Today, I've prepared for you my
special Pan-Fried Tartari. |
| 56 | qst701604_msg0314 | 84 | More meat! |
| 57 | qst701604_msg0315 | 84 | Why, that's my favorite! |
| 58 | qst701604_msg0316 | 84 | ... |
| 59 | qst701604_msg0317 | 84 | It's delicious! I can't fault a thing! |
| 60 | qst701604_msg0318 | 84 | Plenty to fill tum-tum! Omnom always
give high rating for sizable portion. |
| 61 | qst701604_msg0319 | 84 | It's so juicy and tender... You'd never
find the likes in Mor Ardain! |
| 62 | qst701604_msg0320 | 84 | I like meat, but this might be a little
too much for me... |
| 63 | qst701604_msg0321 | 84 | It sits heavy on the stomach, I fear... |
| 64 | qst701604_msg0322 | 84 | ...S'alright. |
| 65 | qst701604_msg0351 | 84 | Let's go for the Wingberry Cake! |
| 66 | qst701604_msg0352 | 84 | Got it. |
| 67 | qst701604_msg0353 | 84 | Today, I've made Wingberry Cake. |
| 68 | qst701604_msg0354 | 84 | You look like tough muscle-man,
but make surprisingly girly dish. |
| 69 | qst701604_msg0355 | 84 | I must say, I never expected this
from you, Jin! |
| 70 | qst701604_msg0356 | 84 | I can only assume he intended to
catch us by surprise. |
| 71 | qst701604_msg0357 | 84 | Is cute, scrummy...
Omnom cannot get enough of it! |
| 72 | qst701604_msg0358 | 84 | It's been so delicately crafted...
You'd never find the likes in Mor
Ardain! |
| 73 | qst701604_msg0359 | 84 | It's a welcome change from all the
meat. |
| 74 | qst701604_msg0360 | 84 | It's not too sweet, either. Just right
in my book. |
| 75 | qst701604_msg0361 | 84 | It's like my tummy is being filled
with happiness... |
| 76 | qst701604_msg0362 | 84 | ...Got any more Cranberry Bells? |
| 77 | qst701604_msg0401 | 84 | And finally, Mythra. |
| 78 | qst701604_msg0402 | 84 | Hoping to wow us all with your dish,
are you? |
| 79 | qst701604_msg0403 | 84 | That's the idea. |
| 80 | qst701604_msg0404 | 84 | Nice one, putting me in at the end.
Don't think I didn't notice.
Saving the best for last, am I right? |
| 81 | qst701604_msg0405 | 84 | Actually, I just wanted everyone to
have a chance to enjoy their last meals
before the inevitable happened... |
| 82 | qst701604_msg0406 | 84 | Hmph. Whatever... |
| 83 | qst701604_msg0407 | 84 | OK, are you ready?
Feast your eyes on THIS! |
| 84 | qst701604_msg0408 | 84 | Well. |
| 85 | qst701604_msg0409 | 84 | Urk! |
| 86 | qst701604_msg0410 | 84 | It's a surprise, I'll give you that... |
| 87 | qst701604_msg0411 | 84 | Yeurrggh! |
| 88 | qst701604_msg0412 | 84 | It's...definitely the one that's left
the biggest impression on me... |
| 89 | qst701604_msg0413 | 84 | Is afraid Omnom cannot stomach
another bite... |
| 90 | qst701604_msg0414 | 84 | Actually, I think with a bit of chewing,
it's definitely leaning towards edible. |
| 91 | qst701604_msg0415 | 84 | It's a very particular flavor... |
| 92 | qst701604_msg0416 | 84 | Yes, I could get used to this! You'd
never find the likes in Mor Ardain! |
| 93 | qst701604_msg0417 | 84 | Are Ardainian tastebuds broken
or something...? |
| 94 | qst701604_msg0501 | 84 | Well, folks, we've sampled all four
meals, and the judges have come to
a verdict. |
| 95 | qst701604_msg0502 | 84 | I'd now like to announce the winner
of the Great Tornan Cook-Off... |
| 96 | qst701604_msg0503 | 84 | Ohh, I'm on the edge of my seat... |
| 97 | qst701604_msg0504 | 84 | Come on, come on... |
| 98 | qst701604_msg0505 | 84 | ... |
| 99 | qst701604_msg0506 | 84 | The grand prize of today's
tournament goes to... |
| 100 | qst701604_msg0601 | 84 | Ms. Sorrel's Tricolor Acqua Pazza! |
| 101 | qst701604_msg0602 | 84 | I'm honored! |
| 102 | qst701604_msg0603 | 84 | You are truly the finest cook that
Torna has to offer, lass. |
| 103 | qst701604_msg0604 | 84 | Not many people able to pull off three-
meal combo on one plate like that! |
| 104 | qst701604_msg0605 | 84 | I know it hasn't been easy for you,
but I'd be so chuffed if you could just
keep cooking like you did today! |
| 105 | qst701604_msg0606 | 84 | Thank you, Mr. Maulton. I feel I would
not have been able to start looking to
the future again were it not for you. |
| 106 | qst701604_msg0607 | 84 | Perhaps to reward my efforts, you
would be willing to part with your
closely-guarded recipe? |
| 107 | qst701604_msg0608 | 84 | That, I'm afraid, is non-negotiable. |
| 108 | qst701604_msg0609 | 84 | Hey, Addam. |
| 109 | qst701604_msg0610 | 84 | What's the deal?
Why didn't my dish win? |
| 110 | qst701604_msg0611 | 84 | Ah, well... |
| 111 | qst701604_msg0612 | 84 | I believe the problem was simply
that your meal was aimed at too
discerning a palate, Mythra. |
| 112 | qst701604_msg0613 | 84 | You mean I should have toned
it down?! |
| 113 | qst701604_msg0614 | 84 | Hard luck, Jin. |
| 114 | qst701604_msg0615 | 84 | Yeah. |
| 115 | qst701604_msg0616 | 84 | But I've never done something like
that before. It was interesting. |
| 116 | qst701604_msg0617 | 84 | Right? |
| 117 | qst701604_msg0618 | 84 | Like Addam said, the point was for
us to have a good time. |
| 118 | qst701604_msg0619 | 84 | Yes, and I had a wonderful time!
My heart was racing when they
were announcing the winner! |
| 119 | qst701604_msg0620 | 84 | All in all, it was pretty good. |
| 120 | qst701604_msg0701 | 84 | Jin's Wingberry Cake! |
| 121 | qst701604_msg0702 | 84 | Go team! |
| 122 | qst701604_msg0703 | 84 | We did it! |
| 123 | qst701604_msg0704 | 84 | Was very refreshing interlude that
came just at right time, especially
after series of heavy dishes. |
| 124 | qst701604_msg0705 | 84 | Yes, it could not have been more
well-timed. |
| 125 | qst701604_msg0706 | 84 | And placed in contrast to Mythra's...
highly combustible concoction...
that came right after... |
| 126 | qst701604_msg0707 | 84 | It instantly became the highlight of
the event with its exquisite flavor. |
| 127 | qst701604_msg0708 | 84 | Wait, let me get this straight... You're
saying my dish somehow highlighted
the flavor of the other one? |
| 128 | qst701604_msg0709 | 84 | In a nutshell, yes. |
| 129 | qst701604_msg0710 | 84 | Looks like you owe me one, Jin.
Just hit me up if you wanna go
halves on the reward. |
| 130 | qst701604_msg0711 | 84 | Good call, Lora. |
| 131 | qst701604_msg0712 | 84 | Hey, it was your cooking skills that
landed us the win! |
| 132 | qst701604_msg0713 | 84 | Haze's advice also turned out to be
a big help. |
| 133 | qst701604_msg0714 | 84 | I'm glad to have been of service. |
| 134 | qst701604_msg0801 | 84 | And that brings us to the end of the
contest. |
| 135 | qst701604_msg0802 | 84 | But never fear, folks - with your
support, I'd like to host a second one
someday, so keep polishing those skills! |
| 136 | qst701604_msg0803 | 84 | Perhaps we should switch it up next
time round. I'd gladly cook something
up for a change! |
| 137 | qst701604_msg0804 | 84 | Omnom quite happy to remain as
judge... |
| 138 | qst701604_msg0805 | 84 | I'm not complaining. Just as long as
you make sure to hold 'em here! |
| 139 | qst701604_msg0806 | 84 | We'll do even better next time,
won't we Jin? |
| 140 | qst701604_msg0807 | 84 | For sure. |
| 141 | qst701604_msg0808 | 84 | And I'll have to make sure to get
back into my usual rhythm! |
| 142 | qst701604_msg0809 | 84 | Next time, that first prize is SO mine! |
| 143 | qst701604_msg0810 | 84 | Please, just...don't. |
| 144 | qst701604_msg0811 | 84 | The only way she could win is if
she's the only one left standing... |
