Veshora:
Too bad the egg carton tea strainer idea didn't work. But after a lot of foraging, you find a small stash of tea strainers in assorted shapes and sizes. You also find a lot more tea. Seems like, despite how it appears, Kaderin does love tea almost as much as coffee.

Mekatra 10-25-2018 07:08 PM

I'm going to try the VERY ill advised task of grinding coffee beans... just quietly scoop them into the grinder and... man I wish I had my mortar and pestle with me.

Aaaand I rolled a 1... why am I not surprised. Sorry guys!

Of course the coffee grinder is INCREDIBLY LOUD!!!!

Death by Mirrors 10-25-2018 07:16 PM

...you could ask Vesh for soundproofing next time XD

Derpy McBlueEyes 10-25-2018 07:21 PM

Mekatra:

There is a soft, almost imperceptible, vibration in the ground. It happens again. And again, getting slightly stronger each time. You glance at the counter and see a rippling effect in a glass of water. It triggers a flashback to that popular dinosaur movie that came out decades ago. The vibrations keep getting stronger. The dishes on the set table begin to rattle with each heavy step. Then they stop. You slowly turn your head to the doorway. Derpy is standing there, his bright blue eyes glaring right at you. You hold completely still. Unfortunately, Derpy isn't a t-rex. He can see you. With a deafening shriek that has the pitch of a compy, but the volume and duration of the t-rex, he launches himself at you and clings to your leg so tightly that nothing will get him off. It is so disruptive that everyone spends the next hour trying to calm Derpy and get him back to sleep.

"Oh no! Evewyone has to wait 60 minutes to twy another task!"

Mekatra 10-25-2018 07:26 PM

OOOH NO! Derpy I'm so sorry! Shhhhh, hush little dragon, don't you scream, I think they filled some donuts with whipping cream. And if that whipping cream goes sour, we'll all try again in about an hour.

Kaderin Triste 10-25-2018 07:30 PM

I am literally silent-laughing so hard that I'm tearing up because I didn't actually think that the loudest possible task would be failed so well. XD
Especially with the odds of success being so high.

XoGizmooX 10-25-2018 07:35 PM

I am too lazy to figure out the game so I'll take a nap while y'all cook me food

Mekatra 10-25-2018 07:36 PM

If you're going to fail, fail spectacularly? I think I'm going to switch to one of my other sets of dice after this haha

XoGizmooX 10-25-2018 07:53 PM

-eats dice-

Death by Mirrors 10-25-2018 08:14 PM

I seriously love this game.
Perfectly timed fail and we even get to hear a sweet lullaby.

Derpy McBlueEyes 10-25-2018 08:54 PM

Derpy, though not immediately soothed by the sweet lullaby, does eventually tire out and fall back to sleep, still sitting on Mekatra's foot.

"Yay! Evewyone can go again!"

Mekatra 10-25-2018 09:05 PM

I very cautiously get the grinder all set up again, wrap a pillow around it and then cover it with a blanket and hope for the best.

I rolled a 5 this time!

Veshora 10-25-2018 09:10 PM

I believe Mekatra is doing well with the coffee, so we need milk to go with it.

Veshora opens the fridge and grabs the milk. After a brief moment of consideration she decides to risk a tiny bit of noise and slowly pours it into a milk jug so it will look nice on the breakfast table.

Derpy McBlueEyes 10-25-2018 09:12 PM

Mekatra:
With all that padding and being all tuckered out from his tyranosaurus tantrum, Derpy doesn't hear a thing despite his close proximity and even begins to snore softly.

Veshora:
Derpy rolls over in his sleep, but it doesn't look like he's waking up any time soon. Especially not with as quietly as you pour milk.

Mekatra 10-25-2018 09:23 PM

Oh thank goodness.

Making sure I'm reading this right. We have to wait 10 minutes to try another task?

Derpy McBlueEyes 10-25-2018 09:28 PM

"Yep! That's right!"

Mekatra 10-25-2018 09:30 PM

Well since I went to all the trouble to grind these beans, I may as well brew it as well. I think I'll use the fancy pour-over method. It's quiet.

Oh thank goodness, I rolled a 4.

Derpy McBlueEyes 10-25-2018 10:00 PM

Mekatra:
As you move around to brew the coffee, Derpy slips off your foot. Everyone holds their breath for a moment, but he just keeps on snoozing. Thankfully, tantrums really take a lot out of him and even the smell of delicious coffee isn't enough to rouse him.

mdom 10-25-2018 10:16 PM

The easier tasks are ending
*sweats nervously*

Death by Mirrors 10-26-2018 04:15 AM

Try a hard task then :p-evil:

Witchchylde 10-26-2018 01:42 PM

I will make toast, will all the butter and jam and anything else!

Wow, I rolled a 6! Is that a critical success?

Derpy McBlueEyes 10-26-2018 04:37 PM

Witchchylde:

You find the sliced bread sitting right next to the toaster. It doesn't take long to toast up a stack of perfectly browned toast.

Veshora 10-26-2018 04:41 PM

Let me just get cereal quickly. I think I saw the box in the cupboard earlier.

Veshora reaches into one of the kitchen cupboards, hoping that she remembered right.

Witchchylde 10-26-2018 05:25 PM

I'm going to brave the harder tasks! I will Snuggle the Unikat!

Oh no....

Ack it's the wrong die anyway, it was supposed to be the sparkle one but I somehow have the yellow and gray speckled one instead! And rolled me a 1!

Derpy McBlueEyes 10-26-2018 05:38 PM

Veshora:
When you open the cupboard, you find not just one or two, but a whole plethora of cereals. How do they even all fit?

Witchchylde:
Derpy baps your hand. "No! Gotta finish the first set of tasks!"

Witchchylde 10-26-2018 05:51 PM

Oh, okay good, then wipe that off of the timeline, and hopefully I'll find where the sparkledie ran off to.

Instead, I shall assemble the variety of jams and jellies for the toast I made!

There, rolled a four.

Derpy McBlueEyes 10-26-2018 06:52 PM

Witchchylde:
After practically having to crawl so far into the fridge that the others thought you might have found the doorway to a magical land, you emerge with several assorted jams and jellies.

Mekatra 10-26-2018 08:56 PM

Let's get this bacon frying up! I VERY carefully put the frying pan on the stove and put the bacon into it.

I rolled a 3 and honestly can't remember if that is a success of failure.

bluebird 10-26-2018 09:05 PM

reads "do not wake derpy"
 
i want...i want to wake the derpy ༼ > ◕_◕ ༽>

Mekatra 10-26-2018 09:10 PM

Oh please don't. Derpy cries VERY loudly when woken up.

Derpy McBlueEyes 10-27-2018 02:00 AM

At the first sizzle of cooking bacon, Derpy sniffs in his sleep and moves a little. But he settles back down and resumes his soft snoring. You release the breath you've been holding and continue cooking up some nice, crispy bacon.

mdom 10-27-2018 03:02 PM

ooh can we start medium tasks now?

Derpy McBlueEyes 10-27-2018 03:04 PM

"Whoops! I was sleepy and marked off the wrong one! Someone still has to pour juice!"
Derpy scurries off to fix the mistake.

mdom 10-27-2018 03:22 PM

Let's try to pour juice...

https://i.imgur.com/jEQsYwF.png

Derpy McBlueEyes 10-28-2018 11:42 AM

Mdom: The juice splashes a bit as you pour, but Derpy remains soundly asleep. Ay least for a little while.

"Congwats! You all completed task list 1!"

Derpy yawns and sits up, rubbing sleepily at his eyes. "Mowning..." he mumbles sleepily as he waddles over and cling to the leg of the nearest person with one paw while still trying to clear the sleep from bis eyes with the other. He sniffs the air and visibly brightens up. Probably because ge smelled fresh coffee and donuts. He quickly waddles over and attempts to climb into his highchair, but needs a little help.

**Witchchylde, Mekatra, Veshora, and Mdom, please roll 1d20 or rng 1-20 to determine currency bonus.
Round 2 will start once Derpy has double checked point tallies for accuracy and bonus (if any) has been generated.

In the mean time, feel free to play with Derpy and enjoy the lovely breakfast you made!

Veshora 10-28-2018 02:16 PM

"Good morning, Derpy! Did you sleep well?"
Veshora helps the tiny dragon into the highchair and grabs the dice.

So it looks like we're responsible for rolling our own dice? How are we preventing people from cheating though D:

The "success" and "fail" numbers on all task sets are randomized. Ex: On a round that we use 1d20, and the odds are 50%, it is not 1-10=fail, 11-20=win.

Derpy McBlueEyes 10-28-2018 04:23 PM

Veshora: Derpy gives your arm a hug as you settle him into his seat. "Yeah. I had some weird dweams though..."
