So they ask me, "L****z**a Apporomentum ***q, what's the deal with looking the way you are?
That's real funny! I appreciate a good joke. Haven't you ever seen the Real Deal? Glowing red eyes? Translucent skin?
I look just the way you do, but better! Better! You're just wishing to be cool as me, huh?
Check this out... I've got vambraces made of coal.
Huh? You can't see my legs? Maybe I didn't put them on today.

Looking around the room, you can see that most other students have filled out their applications and are meandering about aimlessly.



After a moment, your PDA vibrates in your hands, signalling that a ‘new update’ is installing. It only takes a moment to load, and you see that you now have more categories available to you.

Interesting! It seems you can’t access the ones that you have nothing for, which is… everything, just about.

Oh, but what’s this? You seem to be getting a quest!



M. Chef! He was one of your tutors at chef school. Seems like now that you’re a bon-a-fide chef, you can start doing jobs! Well, better hop to it!

…

But where are you hopping to?
And… what sort of ingredients or animals do you hope to find there, to help make this stew simple, and amazing?

Alright, so you set up a Shopping List.

- Beef Stock
- Milk/Non-milk stew base
- Carrots
- Leeks
- Bones
- Cow
- Marshmallow ???
- Stu

You plug those options into your PDA, and it processes for a bit, before showing you a new screen. Hey, it's a map of the world! At least, as far as it's loaded. It'll load more when you discover more places.



There's the island you're on, with the giant Pot that makes up your chef school.. and then there's one smaller island... After a moment's wait, your PDA loads once more, and shows a pop-up with additional information on the small island.



Oh, it's Stu's Fear-m! A spooky place, but a good spot for burgeoning chefs to get some basic ingredients. Stu is a little eccentric, but he's a friendly fellow.

You schedule a boat to take you to the Fear-m, and within a couple of hours you arrive, docking at the grey shores, seeing Stu's fear-mhouse in the distance. A pale fog fills the air, and you're gripped with fear... for a moment, before you realize the scariest thing about this place is probably already dead, looking at the size of these bones everywhere.

Oh, but what's this? A new creature type, it seems!



ZOMBOVINES are grazing all over this island, both wild and tamed... Interesting! Your PDA adds an entry to your Monsterpedia for you to check later on.

You head further into the island, and approach the Fear-m. However, as soon as you cross the threshold into his fear-m, Stu stares you down with a strange look on his face.

"'Ey, get outta 'ere! I said no more dang flyers! When will you folk listen!?"

Seems he's mistaken you for someone else. You could just go up to him and explain it, but you've heard bad things happen to those who enter the Fear-m without permission...

What do you do?

Oh, it seems your PDA also received an update! Now items and monsters possess TAGS, which are broad descriptive qualities of the entity in question. Useful!
