DreamLyrics™ Play-by-Post Forums Modern/Historical DUC: Durham University Campus Competition Monday: Round 1 knock outs

Miranda thinks for a moment.

"Well it is likely to be restricted by both ingredients and the time available. I mean they won't be able to provide a huge variety or expensive meats that could go to waste, not for just a fun time. I guess there will be the basics, so I could make buns or scones or something. What about you Ian? And we will need a third. Anyone else willing to give it a go?"

Ian

"Not sure. It depends on the ingredients and if there is a time limit. But I could do turnovers and other pastries. Yeah we will need a third." He looks over his friends.

"Emma, did you want to join in the baking fun tomorrow?"

[OOC: Emma? ]

Sorry, somehow missed the question!

Emma

"Sure! It sounds like a lot of fun, count me in!"

Ian

"Awesome. We have three for the Baking contest. We probably find more about it. I mean do we use their ingredients or can we bring our own. Does it need to be baked prior or is it just at the competition. That sort of stuff."

Miranda says "We can ask Hilary when we get back to the gym."

[OOC: Folks ready for the afternoon ladies competition? ]

[ooc: yep]

Skye is in the Zone.

Feeling refreshed by their lunch, some light, some more substantial, the group set off heading back to the gym. They have plenty of time and spirits are high especially with the excitement from the two competitors. They chatter as they walk.

As they approach the gym, they see the two brothers just outside, apparently still at odds with each other. The younger brother grabs Daniel's arm pulling him back around to face him. Daniel is still in his gi, his brother wearing jeans and a black T-shirt.



Daniel is furious and shouts "What now?"

His brother replies.

"Daniel, I just don't know you any more. I.."

He is cut off by Daniel, speaking rapidly in another language. His eyes have lighted on all of you approaching.

Sky thinks it sounds like Arabic and recognises The word Allah as meaning God.

{Skye}

"Huh, Arabic." she mumbles under her breath just enough for Levon to hear. Having been so many places, it didn't phase Skye, but it was just a bit of surprise in this context. They kept approaching - mostly to walk by it seemed - but the only thing she could think to do is wave.

"More fights to come. See you later." It's as non-chalant as she could make it.

Henri

Following along back to the gym, he is almost anxious to see how the women will do in the afternoon fights. With his own nervous energy, he finds himself bouncing on his toes and at the same time trying to annoy Miranda with some fake punches. He calms down though when he approaches the two brothers arguing, and simply gives a quick nod and a smile to them.

Ian

Ian heads back to the gym with the rest of them looking out for Hilary as they go. When He sees her he'll go up and ask about the cooking competition. Namely rules and ingredients allowed.

The two men both went quiet as the group passed. Daniel seemed to be doing some deep breathing exercises to calm himself. The brother just looked away.

Inside the gym, eople were starting to get ready for the afternoon competition. Miranda was nervously doing stretching exercises as were a number of others.

Hilary turns with a smile at Ian's enquiry.

"There will be 3 rounds, one of which you can choose what you make. All ingredients will be provided and so, obviously, you need to choose something that you can make with them. All rounds will be timed and then judged. Anything else you'd like to know? And are you putting a team in? If so can I have a team name?"

{Skye}

As they enter, Skye goes over to the competition table to find out when her match is exactly.
