[ Action - Day of the Contest! ]

[ Their hosts were a generous folk, and given the chance to try new foods crafted from their own local ingredients, well, their curiosity was more that piqued. Tables had been set up, with plenty of cushions to go around, and the small restaurant had given over its kitchen and cooking materials to Kirk and Misty. Everyone was welcome to come and go as they pleased (the food was free and the drinks were set at a discounted price for the event from the restaurant itself), but before leaving were requested to make their selection on who had served the better meal by placing slips of colored paper paper into a box - Red for Kirk and Blue for Misty. At one point there was even a small group of musicians adding atmosphere and enough room to dance near the back of the out door space.

The winner would be announced at the end of the day, with the paper slips counted by one of their new alien friends - to keep things proper and fair, of course. ]

_{[ ooc: As it says in the header, this is a mingle!

[ Sorry Kirk, he loved yours but Misty's were a lil bit more interesting ]

[ that's one more for Team Biased, but also for team home flavors and meatless food he can actually eat. sorry, Misty. ]

[Like he would vote for anyone else. Sorry, Kirk – this one's hideously biased.]

[She liked Misty's better, but even if she hadn't she probably would have thrown her vote to former crewmate, Misty, unless it was a lot worse.]

_{[ It's a little known fact in the Fleet, both their drifting one and Star, that James Tiberius Kirk can cook. What? It's an essential life skill and as an eternal bachelor he couldn't very well live off tack out and pre-made meals could he? Just ignore the fact that on the ships all their food was more or less "pre-made", that was a matter of efficiency not choice.

Today his sleeves are rolled up and he wore a clean white apron at his station, making his specialty - breakfast foods.

Kirk is busy whipping up everything from scrambled eggs and omelettes to pancakes and sausages (or as close as he can get given the ingredients available, but they all mimic familiar flavors enough to make it work). His is not the cleanest of work stations and his presentation would make Gordon Ramsey shout obscenities until he burst a blood vessel, but there's a warmth to everything he serves, like he's serving you at his personal breakfast table.

He's on obvious home cook amateur, but hey! At least he's having fun and hopefully people are enjoying what he makes, especially as he serves everyone with a smile. ]}

[Fenris is here partly out of emotional support, but also partly out of genuine curiosity. He doesn't see Kirk cook much, and since they got Jarvis, it's been even less so. A small part of him is hanging around too in case their captain sets something on fire and they need to beat a hasty retreat. It's not that he doesn't trust you, Kirk, but as first mate he feels it's his duty to book his captain out of there in case he burns the kitchen down.

He might eat food that's put in front of him, but he's no connoisseur. Plus he's rather biased, all things considered. Still, he watches Kirk with some level of amusement. ]

At least you're enjoying yourself.

_{[ He was not nearly at Jarvis' level, it was true. His specialty was things like these - pancakes, sausages, ham, bacon, eggs. Comfort breakfast foods. He had learned to make them early on as a child, and they had always brought a certain quiet peace to him. He could cook other things too, of course, but he had always had a special like for breakfast, so when challenged to a battle of foods he naturally chose his first love.

He approves of your loyalty, Fenris. It's very sweet. He flipped a pancake with more flare than skill, chuckling. ]}

I'll have a short stack ready for you in a second. Trust me, looks aren't everything in food.

[Fenris only has loyalty for those who earned it, good job, Kirk. The elf makes a soft, amused sound, watching.]

True, but I doubt I have a refined enough palette to honestly notice.

[Food is food. ]

_{[ He will be sure to make it as one of his lifetime achievements on his resume. ]}

But you can tell what's good and not. That's good enough for me.

_{[ He put down a plate and slid on three pancakes and some sausage, holding it out to Fenris. ]}

You can put syrup on it or some fruit, or both. Whatever suits your fancy.

...Yes, I can do that much.

[He considers this, before putting some syrup on the pancakes. He cuts them up and pops it into his mouth, chewing thoughtfully. Then, silently (because he's just going to continue eating if you don't mind him) he'll raise a single thumb. ]
