Quitecontrary

And I'd have found a way to resist. A stick did, after all. You also could've spared the threat, and just told me if it was a secret. THAT is one thing cooks understand. Secret ingredients, secret recipes. Secrets to dry books in melting icy shelves... *sits down at a table, grabs a shardspork, sticks it in a fresh hot waffle, and waits for the head scholar to respond*

I've been wondering, Master Leftinch. How do you keep your archives dry in this castle? All shelves are made of ice!

The Toy Panda is locked in a place where it can do no harm, Master Leftinch. We scanned it and found a bug inside (typical of the Observers). But it's sooooooooo cute! I couldn't possibly throw it away.

These are beautiful, Awesome!! You should do a colorful one for our guild. You ARE still Wafflesworn, right?

The contract is so you don't have to Elsecall to take food from the kitchens (which you can't now anyway with the new security measures). In every realm that you Observe, we will set aside a table, exclusively for your guild. You will also be given 5 requests a month for custom-made, never-before-attempted dishes. Lastly, a pantry will be set aside with no security, for your Elsecalling tendencies. We will make sure it's always filled when you drop by to eat. A good deal, is it not? Now, if you will please sign at the dotted line...

Darkness within! Master Aether, will you arrange to have some of your minions guard the Wafflesworn Kitchens from pilferers?

Thank you for reminding me. I think it was because the peace treaty was off then, and you did try to sway a potential Wafflesworn. Anyhow, let's have waffles and peace. *hands him a plate of waffles and a contract for services to The Observers*

Yes, you did at that, Theorymaker (Ghostblood killer). Ashiok, leave him be. Observers won him fair and square. And Peng is now Wafflesworn so all good. For now, my problem is the pilfering and tilted kitchen. Let's prep a contract for The Observer's Guild. Your Majesty, Queen Elsa, Princess Delightful, your esteemed court should not have to pay for the pilfering that Observers do. We are happy to absorb these losses and not charge you so long as you ensure that Observers take their own catering contract with us. Otherwise, you will keep funding the Elsecalling they've been doing (by feeding them waffles). Here, take cupcakes. The snowflake designs are all tilted, because our kitchen staff was Elsecalled by the Observers while making it. They have definitely NOT been just observing.

Panda, you should sign a contract with us. We can't keep absorbing losses for all the stuff your guild is taking since NC will not pay for them.

Sorry to lose you to the Observers. Ashiok, leave him be. It was a fair fight. We cannot help it if he chooses starvation now, can we? We know that wielding power makes one hungry. We'll see where he goes then.

There is always another recipe. EDIT: Make that 1. The Smurf is cooked.

That blue Shroomie is either very brave or very crazy. And I suddenly feel in the mood to create a dish! The Fun-gwaffle The waffle so blue nobody wants to eat it, except the shroomies from which they are made of. Made of fluffy egg whites folded in "Essence of Shroom Smurf", this blue concoction can make anyone want to raise arms in protest. "Wafflesworn, grab that blue Shroomie! Which one? That one holding 2 atium spikes, whichelse? I need some of him for my recipe!" *brings out cauldron* <Insert mad cackle here>

Look at the bribes offerings below. They involve food, and in the case of Newcago Court - the Wafflesworn food. We should probably raise our catering rates. So if you want to be where the source of all that yumminess is, join us. We make great food, and custom waffles, sentient and otherwise, for the discerning Sharder. And for you, dear Theorymaker, we offer: The Waffle Scourge A pale yellow lemon waffle, slightly sweet and cake-like, this waffle captures the essence of the Bane of Ghostbloods - sharp, to the point, but with subtle tones of honey. A sprinkling of blackberries brings out a natural contrast, making it look delightful on the breakfast table.

A new member! *rubs floured hands together* Let's make something to welcome you to the team, Waffle Warden of the Everstorm. Since you're from Antarctica, a twist to a favorite dessert - ice cream! Fried Ice Cream in a Wafflebowl A dessert that's hot and cold, embodying confusion and chaos in your taste buds. This lovely dessert takes a ball of ice cream, rolled in cereal, and fried to a crispy perfection, then served inside a freshly made waffle bowl. Topped with whipped cream and your favorite fruit.

I did at that. Don't worry, Highprince of Sugar. He'll be back. He has to heed the call of the batter at some point.

Aww, Master Leftinch, the roots of your hair are turning red! A little something for you: The Blushing Schwaffle A marbled waffle done in shades of Parshendi red. Drizzled with a light vanilla sauce, and topped with fresh strawberries, it embodies the heart of the complimented scholar. One bite will make you hear the Rhythms of Craving.

Deja vu! I was just thinking of this earlier when I looked over the geography list. Simplest way is copying it in a Google Spreadsheet and choosing a Geo Map chart but it will still be based on Aether's List. The other is coming up with something like what Wordpress has where the users just tag their location. The last option is to create a map of Sharders using Google Maps Engine.

You're no fun, Leftinch. Note that we never serve experimental waffles to Newcago Court. We only serve those recipes that have been duly tested. Don't you read the small print in the packaging?

This will make Argent into a God King.

Now we now how dark chasmfiends are made. Thank you Panda for revealing the secret. Imagine the power you would have wielded, had you eaten that Waffle? A ChasmPanda! *and I've been looking all over for my whisk!!!

He already brought the fatally delicious Waffle you made last night, O Dark Lord of the Batter. *evil laugh* I can't believe he took it, after I said that the weapon is the food! Trust the Observer's Guild to be true to their other calling: Pilferers of the Realm

*putting down the Shardspork Ok then, Panda. Peace it is. Bring back my kitchen staff please. I need them. Thank you for making me realize that the true weapon of the cook is not the cutlery. It's the food. *here take a waffle

Ah then, you are most entirely right. And the Wafflesworn are not against the Featherclan or any clan. In fact, Ashiok, our Highprince of Sugar, is also a Featherfarmer (unless he renounces), and picked up arms in defence of Lady Feather in the recent Newcago skirmish.

I went shopping yesterday and was sorely tempted to buy the Kate Moss tasseled dress sold in Topshop. I tried it on, moved around and twisted this way and that, to get the feel of the tassels flying around me. It was both weird and fun. Long tassels are IN. I think I'm going back there tomorrow to buy it. A chance to own a modern-day, fashion-forward mistcloak/mistdress. *image courtesy of topshop -- In topic now, I think the material of the tassels could be softer (again if we're looking at what's in now). Long fringes on the dress (not outside of it) are definitely a hit, and I see them in some really high end collections lately. However, if you will stick with the short hard tassels on the longer asymmetrical hem, I agree on the pants being the best option. Body hugging pants will make the dress stand out. If you have the time, you can probably find a material similar to the dress, and sew this into pants, maybe of a more matte and stretchable material to get the dress design to shine. I adore the beading but I think putting symbols on the top and bottom hem are a bit too much. I would like the symbols on top to stay with a piping or underlain cloth of a different color to bring them out. Then choose one symbol to intricately create at the upper asymmetrical hem, like a brand. Have you thought of the shoes for this? I'd love an atium symbol beaded on solid black high-heeled pumps. It'd then be one-of-a-kind. Like those fleur-de-lis shoes: All my opinions, and of course you don't have to listen to a cook.

So the uneasy peace treaty is off? Kitchen staff, chaaaaarggge! *an angry mob of Wafflesworn armed with ladles, spatulas and kitchen knives charge the intruder* Too late Panda. He's already being Wafflesworn in. Mailliw, where you referring to the hidden purpose of the Wafflesworn or the Featherclan? The post above is confusing. And let's all remember that we swore to create Chaos in the name of the Waffle. We revel in these bickering guilds, all while serving fantastic food.
