Welcome to Gaia! ::

A small town know for their cooking spices and their cooks. Many come here to train to become great chiefs.

As Roku headed towards the crowd, he saw a huge banner saying, "Karai Town's 23rd Annual All-Blue Cook-Off!" He pushed his way through the crowd until he got to the center, and got in the registry line. As he made his way to the registration deck, the woman behind the desk asked, "Okay, fill this out." She then handed him a clipboard with some info he had to fill out. After he finished, he gave it back to her. She read over it and said, "Okay, you're good to go. The contest doesn't start for another hour though, so feel free to walk around in our town until it starts. Ther will be an announcement for the contest five minutes before it starts." With that, Roku turned around and started to go into the stores. After 15 minutes, he got bored and decided to go back to the ship. As he walked into the kitchen, he saw Jima there, eating some onigiri. He smiled at her and said, "Hey, having fun?"

"No thanks, I'm not much of an onigiri person. And it starts in about a half hour. I was gonna come see if you two wanted to come cheer me on."

Roku smiled and said, "Well, lets go." He then left the kitchen and dragged Jima with him. He then walked past Maix and said as they left the ship, "Jima and I are going to the competition, you can come if you want."

Roku and Jima navigated their way through the crowds until they got to the cooking station. They then heard a man say on the speakers, "Okay, it's time for our 23rd annual All-Blue Cook-Off. The rules are simple. 2 chefs will be pitted against each other and both have to cook a meal from a certain category(soups, salads, meat, poultry, fish, desert). They will be given 15 minutes to make their dish and serve it to our judges. If they dont finish in time, too bad. You either serve it, or forfeit. The winner of each match moves on to the next round until we get a winner. Now this part is important. Each chef must have at least ONE assisstant chef to help them. Everybody good? OKAY, NOW LETS...GET.....COOOKIIINGGGGG!!!!"
Roku then looked at the TV screen and saw his face next to some guys with a 5 foot tall hat. "I guess thats my opponent." He then linked his arms with Jima's and pulled her to his cooking area. "Come on, you're gonna help me."

Roku smiled and said, "Okay fine. You can boil the water, cook the spaghetti, and cut the vegetables. I'll do the meat." He started to walk to the cooking area and said to her, "Oh yeah, why don't you put your female powers of seduction to use. Try to show a little more skin. The judges are mainly guys, with only 1 girl. And I'm sure that adding a little more umph in your cooking would get us a more, positive feedback from our male judges."

Maix walked up to Roku's cooking booth, his scarf covering his face, a bandana covering the top half of his head, along with armor, all of which he bought a few minutes ago. He was completely incognito, dressed like this:



He bowed to both of them, 'introducing himself' he even masked his voice. "Greetings. My name is Deus. I will be one of the judges today. I'm going around, meeting all of the contestants. I wish you good luck in the cook-off." He said, bowing once more and walking away.

Roku smiled and said, "I dont know, and I really dont want to know. Anyways, maybe you could dance around while you cook, and jump up and down happily after you do something. And say something cute to attract the audience towards us. If the audience loves us, the judges will too. Its not jst about taste, its about presentation too. Now go and change into something more revealing!" He pulled out a wad of beli and shoved it in her hands saying, "Take this and hurry up and find the smallest, most revealing thing you can find. NOW!"
