The air of the day sky is generally pretty clear today. Whoever is gathered at the fountian would be enjoying a rather nice breeze. Right before a massive purple rift opens. In a completely assuming fashion, two beings step out of the portal, A rather thin man, and a large man carrying a fat cat with a collar reading 'Myuubey'.

Mogwai is sitting down on one of the nearby benches. She looks through the newcomers with a thousand yard stare

Helios hovers in from the north. "Our scanners picked up an anomoly. Has another rift opened?"

"So then what happened?" Finn inquires, strolling alongside Jake as they head toward the center fountain of Truce. "Sorry I wasn't able to come, though, man. I was in Caspia with Mogwai. It was pretty sweet." A pause, as he considers. "Oh, and I've got stuff to tell you about, but that can come later." He waves toward the distant, if distracted, Mogwai. "Hey, Mogwai!" Mostly trying to get her attention, since she seems spacey.

"And then I found his doll and he was all 'Hey, thanks!..uh..what did I need this for again?' Haha, it was awesome dude." says Jake as he strolls in from the south next to Finn.

As usual, Twilight Sparkle is sitting off to one side of the fountain, horn aglow as she flips slowly through a history book.

Myuubey's tail attempts to lash about in the normally unhappy fashion of a cat, but his appears to have too much effort involved in moving. Thus, his tail thrashes once before the cat lets out a loud yawn. "Mmmmmmhhhhh. Gillian. I am bored, and I hunger." The cat rolls onto it's back. "Have these people do something to fix this."

The thin man steps forwards at Myuubey's call, and from out of no-where pulls out a simple cone, which he holds up to his mouth to speak through. "Attention ladies and gentlemen of this fine city! Milord Myuubey calls all willing forth! A glorious foodery cooking competition will now take place! The winner shall take home a glorious prize!"

Mogwai finally appears to snap out of something, if only momentarily. She glances over at Finn "Oh. Hey Finn. Come to see the usual amusements here?"

"Yeah, Mogs. I wouldn't miss it. S'why I brought Jake this time," Finn admits and, with the two men - and their hungry feline - it seems that 'amusement' is definitely in order. He glances down at Jake, grinning at him. "Hey, man, we stand just as much of a chance as anyone else here. Wanna give it a shot? I mean, what if the prize is something cool, man!" He reaches down and grabs Jake, pulling him close to his face. (c)

"Super-awesome thing. An amazing thing. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS, THAT'S WHY WE TOTALLY NEED IT!" Finn shakes Jake a little bit, eyes wide. It's the curiosity that's killing him.

"Hey, is that your moogle friend?" asks Jake as he watches Finn greet Mogwai. "My name's Jake! Finn's told me about your craaaazy adventures!" With the word 'craaazy', Jake wobbles his thin arms. But before he can continue on, he is interrupted by the declaration of a contest.

As Finn pulls Jake closer to him he responds, "A cooking competition? Dude! I love cooking! Let's check it out, man!"

The announcement has Twilight Sparkle carefully setting the rather heavy book down on the ground, as she looks over with a raised eyebrow. "A cooking competition...? I'm not really prepared for this..." There's a reluctant sigh, and the unicorbrarian is rising to her hooves. "I really wasn't expecting this, though I'm not left with an option, even if I have to use magic to prepare the food. Oh, well. At least the prize will make it worthwhile."

Lorastine happens to be walking by on her usual trips around town mostly relaxing, happy to be home. While walking by the fountain the sounds of a cooking contest caught her attention.

The thin man snaps his fingers, and a large bag of gold and shiny gems winks into exsistance, hovering before him for a few moments. "Milord Myuubey offers this bag to the winner, and all the things it contains." He snaps again, and the bag disappears. "As for the food, use any means nessicary. Create a fitting meal for milord, with all haste. I warn you however, he has a refined set of tastes." The thin man snaps again, and suddenly the fountian is surrounded by a multitude of tables, all stocked wall stocked with cooking supplies. "Milord Myuubey will now announce the key ingredient to use in these dishes!" The thin man turns to Myuubey, who hums for a moment. "'tis a free for all. Use anything."

Mogwai wordlessy approaches a table, reaching for anything really that appears edible and chopping it up for a stew

Helios looks at the tables for a moment before beginning to scan one. "Simply fascinating, we must get one of these for the ship." He continues to scan as he accesses the ships database for whatever recipes it may contain. He finally settles on a dish and begins pulling out supplies from the table.

Finn nods in agreement with Jake. "Yeah, man! I know you're the cooking genius, so.." He jogs over toward one of the appearing tables, skidding to a stop. He kneels down to snag two toques, putting one on his head, and planting the other on Jake's head. He does offer Twilight a wave, but it's competition time! No holds barred, and no ingredients held back! "Use anything?" His eyes glimmer, and he looks back to Jake. He already knows what his bud's gonna say.

Jake stares at the reward bag with googly eyes, "Dude! That'd be a great addition to the loot!" He then turns his attention towards the preparing tables and grins, "Oh man, look at all this stuff! I've got this, baby. That cat's totally going to love my cooking!" He reaches his stretchy arms in and proceeds to grab a variety of things.

"Oh yeah man. -Everything-!" remarks Jake with almost wicked intent.

'I could use that much to build a much better library here in Truce...' With that thought, and a quiet giggle, Twilight Sparkle turns her attention to the large setup of tables, horn flaring with magic as she simultaneously trots over to one table to start working on her own special dish and levitate numerous ingredients onto the surface. "Oh, the possibilities... This is going to be so much fun...!"

Lorastine looks over to get a closer look and notices another cat-like thing like Kyuubey. From the sounds of it, everyone was excited to get cooking. She never had cooked competetively before, but she wouldn't mind some friendly competition. "Excuse me. May I join in?" Lorastine says already tying an apron around her waist and stepping up to the tables.

Myuubey examines the woman before nodding lazily at her. "Mmmmmyess. You may join." The cat then licks his jowls and the thin man takes time to watch everyone's progress like a hawk.

Mogwai slides a few more choice ingredients into the pot without looking. Whatever she's cooking LOOKS good... but the smell leaves much to be desired!

Helios has begun to prepare some sort of garlic salmon dish. He is currently mixing several of the ingredients in a magnetic field above him to be put on the salmon. "Those gems had better be good focusers..." He grumbles...."

Finn notes that the tables can be reached through to grab things, and he quickly moves to lean forward, grabbing hold of a few things that he thinks might go well with what Jake's planning, based on his experiences with the meal in question. These go out on the tortilla, giant as it may be, in addition to the other stuff. And it's not a burrito without some lip-music, so as Jake starts up, so too does Finn with some choice wub's, bub's, and dancing. "Gotta entertain that burrito!"

"These chicks have got nothing on me, dude." brags Jake as he lays out a giant tortilla. He then proceeds to grab whatever is closest and adds it to the growing pile of miscellaneous things. As he does so, he begins to start a beat using spoons and the table. After a few seconds, he adds in lip sounds as an instrument. Seems he's waiting for FInn to add more to the song.

Twilight Sparkle is working diligently in mixing the ingredients she picked out for a seafood-stuffed tilapia dish, being thorough - and not surprisingly, precise - with the measurements and baking process. "No slacking or carelessness, because the food has to be perfect... Nothing less than the best from me, if I want that stuff for the new library..."

Lorastine thinks hard about what Kyuubey would even like to try and pair it up with Myuubey. All she ever seen him "eat" was grief seeds. She descides to go with a stew and starts chopping away at a various vegetables with expert precision before dumping them into the pot to be stirred. Bits of Cucco in the mix for the meat and along with some other ingredients. It was starting to smell great, giving Lora a content grin on her face.

Myuubey's tail thrashes again, a heavy thump against the small platform he is carried on. Then, with one meow, the thin man nods and calls out through his megaphone. "ARENA HAZARD!" Suddenly, the foods being cooked lurch to life, animating and thrashing about as though they were maddened beasts! "Slay your meals to continue!"

Mogwai grabs onto a menacing block of cheese, savagely chopping it into pieces before tossing it into the pot. A monstrous rutabaga soon follows suit. Mogwai doesn't seem to be concerned at all by this change of events, and keeps slaughtering random foodstuff.

Helios stabs the salmon with his flakes as it beginf to try to wriggle out of his magnetic field. He isnt terribly concerned about the ball of spices and sauces as that can't really do much of anything. He puts the newly tenderised piece of salmon in the ball of glaze and begins to spin it around himself rapidly, accelerating the marinating process with a combination of centrifugal force and magnetisim. "A couple minutes of this..."

When the ingredients come alive, Finn quickly takes to.. well.. punching each in turn. Not exactly sanitary, to say the least, but then again, what part of the burrito they're making is anything at all edible to a normal person? Either way, he seems to not be deterred by the menacing ingredients, as he strikes them down one by one. "All these guys are gonna get beat. Not even sure if that's real meat. Nothin' in this burrito is fake. Gonna win this with my bud Jake!"

Jake continues to throw in various foodstuffs, "We'll grab everything from head to toe. That's just the basis of everything burrito. This meal's so good that it's going to win. Takin' all that loot with my buddy FInn!"

"You've got to be kidding me...!" Twilight Sparkle nervously steps back, with her enthusiastic smile quickly giving way to a dismayed expression. "...I can't believe this. All that work, wasted." With a sigh, the Element of Magic-bearer pivots on her forelegs to double-buck the now-animated tilapia into submission, deciding not to bother with trying to trap it with her magic.

Lorastine takes a startled step back when her stew suddenly came to life like some molten monster. She reacts quickly and grabs a frying pan before letting out a strong downward strike onto the monster slamming it down into the pot once more with a *twang* sound. She sighes and holds the frying pan down on the pot like a lid and she sighes. "Well it doesn't seem like its quite ready yet." she says with a little embarrassed laugh.

Myuubey begins licking his paws, which could be a good enough sign that the cat is pleased by the current events of chaos happening at the fountian.

Mogwai slices a fish lengthwise, gutting it and tossing the offal to the side much to the fish's protests. She tosses the whining pieces into the pot, and adds a magicite that appeared on her table to it before putting the lid on and simmering

Helios finally stops spinning the salmon around and scans it. "Hmmm... The marinade seems to have worked its way through the meat... Guess we should cook it." His lens glows red before firing a low powered beam at the salmon, cooking it through slowly. "Shouldn't be more than a minute."

Once things have finally settled down, each ingredient of the burrito in turn punched into submission, Finn wipes his hands off, seeming pleased with how things were working out. He glances over at Jake, knowing that it might be time to put the finishing touches on this game-winning culinary masterpiece.

"Dude, this burrito might be my best yet! We never have this many things in the house!" says Jake as he continues to add things to the burrito.

Twilight Sparkle closes her eyes in concentration and sighs again, before firing a magic blast from her horn at her former meal-prep literally gone bad. "And to think I was so excited about trying something new..."

Lorastine lifts up her pan-lid to check on the stew, it seemed to stop moving, but then again it was only stew. She never expected it to put up much of a fight since it really wasn't all that strong. Lorastine adds a bit more and stirs it until she was happy with the result. "I think thats about it."

The thin man holds up his megaphone. "Milord Myuubey hungers! All who are complete transport your meals to the table before him!" At these words, a large table appears before the man holding Myuubey himself, waiting for the food to be placed on it.

Mogwai turns the heat up on high and a keening wail comes out of the pot. She glares at it until it dies down, then hoists the pot over to the table

Helios finishes roasting the marinated salmon with his laser. "Just need a plate and..." He pulls a fancy plate out from the table and places the salmon on it. He then adds the various garnishes that are important for the presentation of the dish before floating it over to the judging table and setting it down. "Enjoy, small feline creature."

With the burrito finished, and Myuubey hungry, Finn moves to quickly put the finishing touches on the burrito, wrapping it up in that delicious and enormous tortilla. This requires some of Jake's help, because the burrito is quite large as a result of all the ingredients. "All right. Let's get that thing on the table!" He offers to Jake, moving to help him lift it up and carry it toward the table. Once there, it's settled down carefully. "We've got this in the bag, bud," he whispers to Jake, nudging

"Alright man! I don't think the tortilla can hold anymore anyway..except maybe this." Jake says as he throws in a couple spoons and a frying pan. He then stretches his arms out and helps FInn wrap the tortilla up into a burrito. Before picking it up with his help to move it to the judging table, Jake holds his hand out to bump fists with Finn.

Twilight Sparkle eventually levitates her semi-mangled - and magic-blackened - food over onto the newly-conjured table, taking hold of a spatula with her magic to ensure it doesn't decide to spontaneously reanimate as she waits for the judging process to begin. The thinly-built announcer gets a disapproving glare from the unicorbrarian, as she moves after her submission. "I hope you're happy with forcing me to ruin all my hard work, and my dream for a high-quality library here."

Lorastine waits patiently for the dishes to be finished since hers was rather easy to make. Childs play to her, but she wanted to take it easy on the others. She takes a quick taste test to make sure everything is perfect. A little salt was needed, but other then that it was perfect to her. She looks over at her competetion, and it seemed like they were all close to completeing their dishes. She wasn't sure how well the robot would do, considering it was a machine with no sense of taste.

Myuubey looks upon the various meals placed on the table, and suddenly they all fly up as one as Myuubey's mouth sterches into a massive fanged maw. In one massive surge, all of the food is consumed as one, and the cat settles down once more. He spends a moment before nodding to Twilight and Finn's team. "They have won. The boy made good food, and the equine amused me. Split the prize."

Mogwai shrugs

The thin man, at Myuubey's command once more, snaps again as two smaller bags of gold and gems appear before both victors in question. "You have the honor of this prize! May they be the best candied confections you have ever eaten!" With that, the thin man snaps one last time, and all the tables disappear before Myuubey and his wishborn are swallowed by another massive portal.

Mogwai is quiet for a bit before thinking back on the previous hour "...what the hell did I cook?"

Helios stares blankly for a long moment. "...This was a complete waste of our time. The prize wouldn't have even been useful to us." He dosent say anything more aside from a slightly confused statement as he turns to Finn and Jake. "Wait, did those two throw the cookware into that burrito?"

"Aw yeah, man, nice!" Finn immediately makes with the fistbumping, grinning as he snatches the bag out of the air. The fact that the man notes them as 'candied confections' gets him to wonder, as he hums, slowly moving to slump down to a sit and open up the bag, letting Jake look inside. "Is it all candy?" This seems to amuse Finn to no end, as he laughs out loud. He plucks one of the 'gems' out, and has a lick.

"Awwww yeah! Everything burrito trumps the competition, baby!" says Jake as he slams Finn a fist bump. As he looks inside the bag and observe the 'gold', he lets out a short groan. "Aww dude. It's just chocolate!" Jake for pauses for a second. "Ah well! It's going straight to the loot pile!"

Blink. Blink. "I... won? H-" Twilight Sparkle just sort of sits there at the announcement of the prize, with a shell-shocked stare and her mouth hanging open. "Wh- wh-" With a shake of her head, and an exasperated groan, the unicorbrarian is angrily trotting over to the sack containing her prize, then leaving with it in tow via a teleportation spell. "I can't believe that cheap- ARGH, USELESS!"

Lorastine blinks with confusion mostly at the fact that the cat inhaled all the dishes and was still able to tell them apart and judge a winner. She just shook her head trying to figure out how she lost, what she made was sweet, which was odd for her stew. She didn't exactly notice it until a second recall of it. "Well congratualtions you two." she says to the winners with a bow. The prize wasn't really all that great it seemed anyway considering Finn and Twilight didn't seem happy with their candy. 'I'll have to ask Kyuubey about that second cat, next time I see him' Lorastine thinks as she cleans herself up.

Mogwai looks over Twilight's haul "...wonder how much that'd sell for."

Helios shakes his core and flies north.
