player plot | the great paleblood bake off
Hey, everyone! It's Cheryl bringing you a player-plot for the month of June! We're doing The Great Paleblood Bake Off!
Luna, noticing the ability Palebloods have this month, will take to the network offering to organise a baking competition in the style of The Great British Bake Off (she's a fan) for Palebloods using the fruit around Trench to make Corruption/Beasthood healing food to be then shared around the Sleepers.
She will propose the idea to Sleepers and ask for sign ups for the competition itself, along with asking for help from other Blood Types in helping to set the whole thing up ie: Darkbloods could help with set building, Warmbloods could offer lessons to some Palebloods; people will be needed for collecting ingredients, judging, presenting, etc.
WHAT AM I DOING?
Much of the set-up is something more of 'player discretion' kind of thing, to give some prompts for threads. Go out and have some fun doing threads outside of the actual event having lessons with a Warmblood, supporting your Paleblood friends and family in the midst of a baking meltdown. Maybe have a nice collecting thread, or Darkbloods arguing over set design.
The event itself will be post mid-to-late June and will basically be baking chaos set over the last week of June. Participants will be asked to bake a dessert of some sort which contains the fruits found in Trench to a Remina-month inspired prompt. The prompts will be as follows, which will be released well a head of the time, so players can use the month to prepare:
DAY ONE: a dessert that reminds you of home
DAY TWO: a dessert you learned from someone else
DAY THREE, THE FINAL: a dessert relevant to your culture
Banter with the presenters, sabotage your fellow contestants, make up your own baking distasters, go cry in a corner over curdled custard, be pepped up by your friends in the audience, terrify the judges with your ruthless need to win.
The idea is this thing is just some wholesome, silly bit of fun. Someone gets a nice trophy, and everyone gets some delicious food to take home to help fight off Corruption / Beasthood, which will be magically charmed to keep for up to six months.
HOW DOES THIS WORK?
The actual event will be depending on how many sign up. Granted there are currently roughly 50 Palebloods in game, it may be a case of forming morning and afternoon groups and either RNG or going off a player discrection basis on who advances to the next day. If your character isn't a very good baker, chances are they're out on Day 1 — that sort of thing. On the final day would be something like eight Sleepers taking part.
Once I get to know the idea of numbers better, I can put a more solid plan in place and will put up a new post to explain things better later on.
Plotting Proposal can be found here.

Palebloods will find themselves even more strongly drawn to the fruit than other blood types. While this could put them at risk during the event, it might be well worth it in the end. They will want to cook with fruit, bake with fruit, make jam, and will try to pass it out to others. Anything they bake with the fruit will be emotionally healing to others and can even help to rid another of corruption or turn them back from beasthood. These goods can be preserved in full for up to 6 months. Jams specifically can be preserved for up to one year.

Role: He is here to EAT
By which I mean he'll be volunteering as a judge and token Brit. He has quite the experienced palate you know. :) Loves any and every sort of food and considers himself a connoisseur, and despite the fact the three people closest to him are competing (THE SUFFERING... no wait this is amazing)... he'll judge fairly. He is generally very kind and polite even in critique/will appreciate that U Tried even if oh god it's awful, unless someone really deserves a hammer on their head. But they really need to be begging for a reality check/be acting like prats for him to break form like that though-- although the savagely dry British sass comes out then and it's gr8t.
