Part 152: Missed Content - Skits: Cooking

Today's skits are all about cooking!


The first few are for mastering specific recipes.

Estelle mastering Vichyssoise.

Skit: Call It What It Is! / Baldurdash
Estelle, your potato soup sure is good!
I'm not used to soup being cold, but this is really delicious.
It's not potato soup. It's called vichyssoise.
Estelle, what would you call a soup made from onions?
That would be onion soup, but...
Then this is potato soup!
No, it's vichyssoise! It's the name of the dish!
Hey, Rita. What would you call this soup?
...Potato soup.
Why won't any of you call it vichyssoise...?


Karol mastering Omlette.

Skit: The Artiste



Wow... This looks great!
You drew a face on it in ketchup! This is Repede's face, isn't it?
Mine is Repede facing to the left.
*Woof*
Mine's a...golem?
Wow, you even got all the details right.
You're really talented, Karol.
Heh, so are they good? I spiced it up by adding some...
Huh? Why aren't you eating?
It's so cute... I don't want to ruin it by eating it!
I wanted to save him...
C-come on, eat up! Don't stare! Eat it already! I worked really hard!


Raven mastering Crepe.

Skit: Melts a Young Girl's Heart
How'd you master making crepes, Raven? I thought you hated sweet foods.
My boy, you got a lot ta learn about the miraculous powers sweet foods have over the ladies.
An exquisite crepe melts a young girl's heart and leads her straight into the arms of the chef--
me!
For people who like sweet things, there's nothing harder to refuse than a delicious crepe.
And if you know someone made it just for you...
Uh...yeah, I guess crepes could really reel 'em in...
I know someone's reeling at least...
Told ya. They love me!
Y-yeah, okay, good luck, then.
Not luck, son. Skill.


Judith mastering Pork Stew.

Skit: Judith Goes All Out
Rita, you're eating quietly for once. Do you like the food?
I wouldn't say I like it...but I don't dislike it.
I'm glad it suits your taste, Rita.
I've heard that making pork stew is especially time-intensive.
Yes, it takes at least two days to boil the pork until it's soft enough to eat.
It seems you're pretty good at cooking elaborate dishes, Judy.
I used to cook a lot. I don't mind a little work if people will enjoy it.
Did you use to cook for your family?
Yes. And now I have you all! It makes all of the hard work worthwhile.
...It's delicious.
Huh? Rita, did you say something?
No.
Heh heh, thank you, Rita.


This one is for letting Repede cook a bunch, which turns everything into Dog Food.

Skit: A True Gourmand
Hey, there's something seriously messed up about people eating dog food.
It's all the same mush once it hits your stomach, right?
Dog food and people food are totally different!
You're just afraid you'll start liking it.
But don't you think the taste is addictive? I love the unusual flavor!
An acquired taste for the true gourmand.
*Woof!*
Maybe that's one taste I don't really need to acquire...


This one is supposedly for letting the female party members cook a combined number of 300 times, which surprises me I don't have naturally.

Skit: Rita's 3-Second Cooking
Oooh, I'm following the recipes... Why isn't my food coming out as good as yours, Judith?
I do all of my seasoning by taste. Maybe that's it.
Try changing the balance of ingredients, or adding some seasoning that's not in the recipe.
Good idea. I'll try that.
Rita, I never expected to hear such practical advice coming from you!
H-hey! I'm not the best cook, but adding spices is like mixing chemicals. It's just chemistry.
I guess, in a way...but I also feel like that's not all there is to it.
So do you and Yuri use your own special seasonings? Is that why your food is so good?
Exactly. If you just rely on the recipe, your cooking will never be really delicious.
Cooking is hard, but I'll keep trying. I want to learn how to make better food!
That desire is the most important thing of all.


This one is for not cooking for a gameplay time of two hours.

Skit: About to Go Wild
I can't take it anymore... I'm seriously gonna starve...
Can I eat a gel?
No.
*Grrr... Woof!*
D-does the pooch look a little scary ta anyone else?
Oh, he's probably just hungry enough for his wild instincts to kick in.
...
...
The pooch isn't the only one about to go wild.
I'm no good at diets, seriously.
This isn't a diet. It's a fast... Why do we have to stop eating, too?
We can't have delicious smells just wafting by! We're just as hungry as you are!
Agh, what a tyrant...


And not cooking for five hours!

Skit: Let's Eat Already!
I...am...so...hungry...! We're seriously gonna starve!
Save your energy, Karol. You'll just make yourself hungrier.
Sharp stomachs make short graces, Karol.
...What does that mean?
It means hunger can make you rude...and that leads to angry people attacking you with sharp things.
I think yer a little off...
But whatever, Yuri and Rita seem ta be pretty calm despite not havin' eaten in a while.
I'm used to it.
Uh huh...
Ah! ...There's a delicious steak, right on top of Repede's back...
It's a trap! Don't succumb to temptation.
Maybe we should do something about this...
Yuri! Yuri! I found a green piece of veggie-bread in my bag! I can eat it, right? Right?
What the... No, Karol, don't!
Seriously, this is getting dangerous. Let's eat something already!


This one requires you to have no ingredients left after cooking something.

Skit: Mmm... Pretty Bread
It looks like what we just cooked used up the last of our ingredients.
*Whine!*
We'll have to stop by a town and pick up some more, I guess.
Hey, there was a green piece of veggie bread left in my bag!
A green piece of... Uhh... What a strange type of bread.
*Whine...?*
...Karol, when did you buy that bread?
I dunno.


Then we have one for cooking eight dishes Rita dislikes in a row.

Skit: The Proper and the Picky
I'm not eating! It's all stuff I hate.
It's not good for you to be so picky, you know.
*Woof*
Yuri's right. You need to eat more so you can grow bigger.
And just what parts of me aren't big enough for you?!
Karol, you have a lot to learn about ladies.
*Whine...*
Well Flynn told me that you didn't have any understanding of female psychology, Yuri.
Nice one, Estelle.
...


One for cooking any recipe 16 times in a row while having at least 8 recipes. The trigger debug text for this also states that it can't be any food that Rita or Raven hates, but the actual condition data doesn't seem to back this up.

Skit: Again...?
*Sigh* ...Again?
This food's a staple. But...I do wonder why we always have the same thing to eat.
We have other recipes we could be making.
Rita said she liked it so much she could eat it every day.
Hey, the old man was whining about how he hates every other kind of food.
Well, Yuri was goin' on and on about how we hafta save money on food!
Judy, didn't you say this would be a good way to compare our cooking?
I thought Estelle was trying to perfect this dish...

...I want something else.
Me too!
Me three!
I'm tired of this!
Our other recipes are going to waste!
All right, let's eat something different next time, okay?
So I wasn't the only one who was tired of it, after all...


Then we have a couple for having characters succeed in cooking something eight times in a row. This is Estelle's.

Skit: Estellise's Cooking Practice
Hey Estelle, you've been doing most of the cooking. You could let the guys cook every now and then.
No, it's fine! The more I cook, the better I get.
That's true. Cooking is something you get used to. I think your cooking has really improved.
Thanks, Judith! I'm happy that I have your seal of approval.
Every day I shred two vegetables, julienne one, and chiffonade two more. Guess it was worth it.
You didn't have to do all that... Right, Yuri?
Yeah. It's a waste of veggies.
I think you missed the point.
No, it's okay. Repede's been eating all of the vegetables for me, besides the onions.
Repede!!
*...Whine*
Ahh, I thought Repede was getting a little pudgy.
Ya, his attacks in battle've been leavin' a bit ta be desired, too.
Repede, you've gotta learn how to say no to food...


This is Karol's.

Skit: Today, Yesterday, The Day Before That...
Food's ready, everybody!
Umm, Karol... Isn't this the same thing you made yesterday?
Not just yesterday, but the day before, and the day before that, too!
Ya must like this a lot ta be makin' it all the time, huh?
That's right! I like this so much I could eat it every day!
Ol' Raven prefers a more refined, mature taste.
Since I'm always cooking, I figured it was my right to make what I like to eat.
Well, that's a good point.
Hold on! You're seriously okay with eating the same thing every day forever?
I'm happy just to have something to eat. Karol's cooking isn't half bad, either.
Thanks, Yuri! I can't wait to make delicious food tomorrow, too!
So tomorrow'll be the same as today, then?
It looks that way. Too bad...
I'm worried that this will be bad for our nutrition.
Don't bother making any of the same stuff for me! I'd rather go hungry.
You know, you could all just do some cooking yourselves for once...


And Raven's.

Skit: The Old Man's Cooking
Don't ya think ya've made ol' Raven cook enough lately? Come on, somebody switch with me!
You're kidding. No way.
You're a better cook than I am, too... Please, keep up the good work.
It's all you.
I like your cooking!
Why won't anybody trade places with me?!
Maybe there's a good reason for that?
And besides, your cooking tastes good.
Well, I'm sure yer happy with that, but I don't wanna do it!
So you shouldn't have to cook just because you don't want to? How selfish can you get?
...Selfish? You're one ta talk!
But cooking the food yourself is a good way to avoid forgetting when you last ate, don't you think?
True, true, lately my memory's been jus' horrib--
Wait a sec, my memory's not THAT bad!
*Sigh* Just how much of an old fart do you think I am...?


And finally, one for having very few recipes late in the game, though it's hard to say what that means. The debug text has something about less than 50% of recipes after getting to a point where you could have all of them but that doesn't sound right.

Skit: Not Too Sharp...
Ugh... This is terrible.
Did you follow the recipe? There are ingredients in this food that really shouldn't be in it.
Actually, I haven't seen our recipe book around recently...
Yeah, I wonder where it went.
Recipe book...? Is this it, by any chance?
Rita, you had it?
No wonder it seemed so flimsy and weak.
You were using it as a weapon...?
Someone replaced my book with this thing. It's not my fault nobody noticed the recipes were gone.
Well, I can't argue with you there.
We don't have very many recipes, either... Maybe we should have some more interest in cooking.
