Lonzo

Hearing the beeps he turned to see a maiden close behind him. Well, that was oddly surprising. Did she just check all his stats and everything? That's almost like peeking through his clothes. He found that pretty funny. 

"Normally you ask someone out to dinner first before you gather their personal information. Like what you see there darlin'?" he asked with a chuckle. "The name's Lonzo by the way. I'm here looking for a certain quest. Could you point me in the direction of Griswald? He's an armorsmith in town. Unless you just got here too." he looked her over. She certainly was a petit lady that was for sure.
"I'd ask you to join me but you look like you've hardly had a bite to eat little lady. Anyway what's your name?" he then wondered if there was a language barrier. He sometimes had that problem with people in this game. "Also you wouldn't have a smoke on you would ya? That's just a joke." he chuckled.

Lonzo had gotten through the teleport gates just fine. However, he still hadn't seen any combat at all. To be honest he was a little surprised he didn't run into a boar on his way to floor three. Still, he didn't want to come here alone and looked up at his friends list and only saw the one name. He figured the blacksmith was busy and was curious what an NPC blacksmith could do. Even if it was dangerous. Why on earth was he sticking his neck out this far, and for no one for that matter? He rubbed the back of his neck and felt safe in his dark armor but knew he couldn't die it in. He had to return it at some point. He walked around and saw a lot of fog in the area. It threw him off a little bit. 
He wondered into the Delilah Settlement and was impressed with it. It was so cozy looking even with the light fog it had today. He started to relax not feeling the ominous cold that he had been feeling from the season changing, or was that all in his mind. 
His metal boots trudged on the dirt roads. He soon found himself on a short bridge and he looked out onto the winding river. It was gorgeous here. He stood there at peace with the world and took his helm off and held it under his arm. He then looked around for another person, someone he could go with on a quest he knew was here but didn't want to do alone. Maybe another player would be looking for the same quest as himself and he waited on the bridge for someone to cross over to get deeper into town.  

Lonzo made his way to the tent. There were still people milling about and buying things. He wasn't sure what the excitment was about but he figured he'd stick around the area and see what other people were getting. He eyed up the food at the stand and sauntered over to it. He heard about tickets and weapons and seemed a little confused as to what everyone was buying at the moment. Still he was a little jealous at the prices of the items and crossed his arms. He may have just started as a cook but he wasn't sure he could content with this NPC if the prices were always like this. Then again he couldn't craft all the time either, not that he wanted to.

"Hey there handsome mind fillin' me in on what this is about?" he asked with a southern drawl as he kept his arms crossed. 

Everything was strange to him these days. He heard stories of zombies and wondered if they were once people.

"Sorry I'm a bit behind it seems."

Lonzo looked at his pub. This would be his hole in the wall and a smile spread across his lips as quickly as a fire would spread on dried wood. There was something beautiful about having your own restaurant. Something yours to call your own. He walked to the back and started working on more treats. The cook hummed an unknown tune just to pass the time and he got his materials out and brought out his double boiler just in case and got the fryer ready as well. Maybe he'd make chips or candy today it was all he really knew how to do without pushing his limits. As he continued to ponder what he wanted to make he got to cooking. Letting his hands and mind work together in harmony. He could only hope that someone would be pleased by what he created. If he was lucky Maggie still had her luck on him.

Lemon Curd Semifreddo

 

It wasn't his petit four that was for sure nor was it was what he was imagining. He stared at it surprised. Instead he had mad a sword shapped treat. Considering it was October maybe that made sense.
"Don't worry Lonzo, you will one day make your petit four," Maggie told him. "But this right here is proof you are indeed a cook. Here you can try mine though."

He looked over at her and she took materials from her own kitchen and put something into the oven. When it came out it was a petit four with a cute pink flower on top.

"Here try this."

He nodded and picked it up eating it in one bite. He chewed slowly savoring it's sweetness and 

"Hey, Mag, we should go get married what do you say?"
"Oh, you must say that to all the cooks you meet."
"Ha, well you might not be wrong if I get to eat like this all the time. One day I'll make a petit four for the person I care most about." he doubted that would ever happen though.
"Right well I'll give you a little help starting out okay. Here's a deed to a restaurant for you to set up. Also, I want you to have five more of these materials on top of the ones you didn't use that you got yourself. Keep up the good work Lonzo."
"What really? Thank you, Maggie."

With that, he went to head out with everything to get his restaurant ready.

When the timer went off he pulled out a charred black ominous goop. He stared at it and set it on the counter. He swore under his breath and fanned it and tried to scoop out what he could into a bowl but it shattered in the blue glass-like shards. Then was gone. His shoulders sank down. Should he have taken up potion-making instead?! He felt Maggie's hand on his shoulder. 

"Again." Was all she said and without hesitation, Lonzo began cleaning the pan even though it had seemed to clean itself. 
"As you say." He put the pan back down and got to work on the food again. He wasn't giving up on his petit four but he also thought about a delectable lemon curd semifreddo that he had at a four-star restaurant a long time ago. He wondered if he could mimic its taste and graduate. 
He put the new batch into the oven and waited.

He winced a bit and saw that it wasn't doing well. He put it onto the marble countertop and took his oven mitts off and quickly moved the mat into the mixing bowl. It turned back into everything he had had beforehand. He stared at it surprised and then looked to Maggie not sure what just happened.

"You managed to save the material. Please try again Lonzo. You can do it I believe in you." she tried to urge him on.

He looked back at the bowl and started to separate everything again. He took his time once more and cut what he needed to. He wasn't going to clean up the knife until he was sure he was done. 

"Don't worry Maggie, I won't let your tutelage go to waste. I'm not giving up. I think I was just too cold from outside still."
"Or you left it in the oven for too long."
"Okay I'll try to take it out when the timer goes off this time," he said and placed it back into the oven and waited for it to ding once more.

He made the batter and placed it in the pan. He wasn't sure how good it would be but felt he did his best at it. He went over to the oven and saw because of the pie Maggie put in before that it was already preset and ready to be fired up. He took in a deep breath and placed the pan inside the oven and closed it with a light snap. Maggie put her hands together as if ready to pray. While Lonzo waited on bated breath. When he heard the dig he almost didn't even want to look in it.
"You have to take it out or it'll burn Lonzo." She warned him.
"You take it out," Lonzo asked.
"Lonzo...I can't help you in this way."
He nodded and put the oven mitts on his hands and opened up the stove to see what the fruits of his labors brought him.

He put the knife down and separated his dry and wet ingredients. 
"Most players just put the material in and see what happens. Why don't you try that Lonzo?" She asked him.
"Maybe one day, but I don't trust my luck. I'm also trying to warm up my hands so I doubt fumble around so much. Thanks for the idea though. Besides this feels more natural to me anyway."  he started mixing things together. 
"What will you try to make Lonzo?" She asked curiously.
"I want to try to make a petit four. However, if I fail I figure it'll turn into a pie or something. Or dubious food." he chuckled. 
"Are you saying my pie was a failed attempt."
"Not at all but that would be my second pick, to make a decent pie slice if I can't make my petit four. With a nice rose on top. That'd make me pretty happy."
"I see. Good Luck."

Too worried about cutting into the material as how it was he went over to the sharpening stone and checked to see if it was wet. It was so he moved his blade on top semi-parallel against the stone at twenty degrees. He used the heel of the blade and brought it towards himself to sharpen the blade and repeated it five times on each side then three than one side each alternating a few times. He then turned the stone over but checked the knife first seeing a bur on the edge. He smiled seeing it was finally ready. He then ran the blade over the smoother side of the sharpening stone to polish the blade so it would be ready to cut. Maggie nodded impressed with his work. "You know to do this every time before you cook correctly?" she asked him.
"Absolutely, or your blade will get dull and cause you even more problems." 

Lonzo opened up his inventory and again and separated all the supplies he had managed to forge. His fingers trembled a bit still cold from his venture out into the cold. Yet his body was sweating from how warm the room was. He watched as the mats transformed in front of him after he selected them to be used for cooking. He turned over the orb in his hand and set it back down allowing it to turn into all the ingredients he needed. He then turned to look at Maggie who balled up her fists and nodded to him with the most determined face he had ever seen. He pointed to one of the knives making sure that was the one he was supose to use and she nodded again with an mhm noise. Lonzo smiled at how cute she was turned the knife over in his hand a few times to check it's balance.

"Okay so here are your five materials back."
"Wait didn't you need them actually?" Lonzo asked.
"No, we were just testing to make sure you could gather the right kinds of mats needed for cooking. Seems you can. So this is what we do. Once you have the material you'll get a box and it'll say if you want them into a cooking orb you see?" She asked and Lonzo nodded. "Very good, now than once it transforms you'll only need to use that material to get started." she took one of her own materials and turned it into an orb then got started. The orb broke down into all the ingredients and she was cooking in front of him. Lonzo watched her work and put something into an oven. After a few moments she took it out and it was nice cherry pie.
"Woah teach, that's pretty amazing." Lonzo smiled happily. 
"Now you try with what you've collected, please.

She smiled brightly at his words. Then nodded. "I see you understand the foundation for why most cooks are cooks. Very well are you ready for your next task then? I have your cookware prepared let us see what your soul and heart make Lonzo! You can do it I have faith in you."
"Well, that makes one of us. My hands are still a bit chilled even after running the warm water on them, but we'll see what I can make." he walked closer to her and traded her the materials she smiled happily again and made sure her cooks had what they needed before pulling Lonzo by the arm in front of the cooking station. 
"So how do we do this? I just picture what I want in my mind and try to make it?"
"Yes, however at your current rank to unlock cooking you'll only be able to make sweets. Might I suggest thinking of baking Lonzo?"

He walked over to Maggie who was sorting out materials for teaching Lonzo the next step in cooking should he fail. "Did you get what we needed?" She asked him. 
"I did darlin' don't you worry your pretty little head over it." he winked at her. "Now then I think it's time to do this don't you think?" He asked as he rolled up his sleeves and washed his hands. He then opened up his inventory after his hands were clean and got the materials. He cleaned them as well and Maggie smiled. 
"You don't have to go through all that trouble Lonzo dear."
"For some reason, I want to. I haven't cooked in ages and not only am I starving for food but this feels a little wholesome don't you think Mag? This is why you're a cook right? Fills some sort of void. One in the heart and one in the gut. Right?" He asked.

He went into the restaurant the other cooks looked over happily at him. "Yeah don't worry I got the supplies you don't have to worry any more guys and gals. You can always count on your buddy Lonzo." There were a few claps from then and Lonzo ruffled the back of his own hair with a wide smile. It felt kind of nice having so many people rely on him. He made his way to the back room the smell of sweet and savory filled his nostrils. His stomach growled and he felt his mouth wetten and his throat locked up. He swallowed trying to ease both issues at once. He never felt such a hungering pain before in his life. Was it like this for other players as well? He did eat daily of course but the smell of something like this it drove him almost mad with pleasure. Then again he was a sensualist after all.

After the knightly character Lonzo managed to wiggle his way up to the top like a thief would, he surveyed the area and looked towards the tent further ahead. It was starting to pique his interest but he was worried about what might be waiting for him inside. He took a deep breath and instead made his way over rooftops. He jumped from one to the next and did his best not to fall which was painfully difficult as he looked down several times. Eventually, he jumped to a lamp and slid down it like a fireman's pole. This earned him a few strange looks and he shrugged it off. Guess people weren't into that sort of thing here. He might be interested if he saw someone else do it but whatever. There were a few people in front of the shop and he had slid through. "Pardon me coming through."

He ran past the fountains that littered the entrance of the Town of Beginnings and found himself trying to get past people. His hands found the backs of other players as he made sure not to accidentally run into anyone. He stepped to the side when he realized they were not going to move. He somehow didn't fall over and make a fool of himself. However, the event that was going on sure made things more difficult with more people bustling around than usual. Lonzo growled a bit when his way to the restaurant was blocked off. He sighed and looked up at the buildings and wondered if he could climb over them. He never thought himself as particularly nimble but he'd give it a try nonetheless. Lonzo sauntered over to a window and placed a foot on the sill. He lifted himself upwards and climbed the iron light that was mounted outside of it.
