[Cooking] You roll a 20 (required 10). Critical success‼


Since you are planning to travel soon, you figure that you should try putting the food you have left at home to good use before you leave. With that in mind, you invite Honourshine over to your house for lunch.

Honourshine: "Now, there's an offer I can't refuse. Shall we get going?"

You nod, and begin making your way southward together. With a non-flyer back in your party, you'll have to get used to the roads again...


Your walk through the Everfree Forest is pleasantly uneventful. You enjoy the soft crunch of dry leaves underhoof, and the chaotically mixed colours of the untamed wilderness around you.

After the better part of an hour, you emerge on the other side of the forest, and enter Hoofington. The town is lively with the echoes of labour and laughter; everypony seems to be revelling in a fair autumn day that is neither too cold nor too hot.

Honourshine: "Charming... I can see why you chose to settle here."

Moonflower: "Everypony's super nice, too!"

Honourshine: "I'll take your word for it."

Soon, you arrive at your house. You give your foalhood friend a quick tour of the place, and show her the various things you've either gotten from your last adventure, or crafted at the festival with your friends.

Honourshine: "I suppose these memories make a house a home."

Moonflower: "Ooh, and check it out! Here's the toy I told you about!"

Honourshine: "Hm. It looks... squishy?"

Moonflower: "Heehee! And it tastes like berries. Oh yeah! What are we eatin'?"

You briefly look through the kitchen for an answer to that question. You find apples, oatmeal, cheese, eggs... Suddenly, inspiration strikes. You tell your companions to sit back as your magic comes to life.

Minutes later, you place three steaming bowls on the table: generous servings of apple-flavoured oatmeal in cheesy scrambled eggs with light grass topping. Your friends thank you for the food, and you all eagerly begin to eat.

Moonflower: "Whoa‼ 'Hish ish shuper tashty!"

Honourshine: "It is surprisingly decent. You've come a long way since the cooking attempts I remember."

You beam at the compliments, and admit that you've been putting more effort into it since you got somepony else to cook for every day.

Honourshine: "I see. For how different you look, you haven't changed at all."

You share a chuckle at that. Before long, the meal is over with, and the dishes are put away. You feel stuffed. Phew!

Honourshine: "I've eaten well. Thanks again, Blaze. Anything planned for the afternoon?"

Moonflower: "I dunno 'bout'cha, but if we're goin' on another adventure, I wanna come prepared this time! I'll go brew us some super cool potions an' stuff."

You nod, and Moonflower trots out of the door and around to her laboratory in the cellar. This leaves you and Honourshine to come up with something to do together.
