	THE MESS HALL Feeling Hungry? Alcyone is the mess hall/general restaurant for all of Star Center. You can purchase hot, cold, or prepackaged food here. The Mess Hall also has enough seating to house the entire population in the form of rows of long tables. The Cook reigns here, and will quickly expel anyone who causes trouble in her restaurant. A rough guide to food prices is as follows: Snacks: 30 tickets Fast Food Meal: 80 tickets Standard Quality Meal: 200 tickets High Quality Meal: 500 tickets Lavish Meal: 1,000 tickets In addition, characters can individually unlock kitchen access. Doing so allows that character to access the kitchen and cook their own meals. In return for doing their own cooking, the price per meal is halved. Characters on bad terms with The Cook will not be able to purchase kitchen access, however. The price for permanent kitchen privileges is 3,000 tickets. Not Sure of a Price? You are welcome to assume prices vary depending on the actual food. Use the above guides to give you an idea and then go from there. Just keep in mind that all prices will end in a 0! You do not have to get mod approval for every price. However, if you're unsure of how to price something, don't be afraid to ask the mods! You can also drop an IC price question here and hash it out with the Cook herself! Quests from The Cook If your character is lacking in money, they can ask the Cook for a ticket quest. Quests range from simple fetching or delivery runs to difficult things like VR room puzzles or tasks that require you to interact with other player characters. The Cook is likely to give easier quests with lower payouts than the other two NPCs. Comment ICly to this post to get a quest!

Excuse me.

[There is some sound of dishes being moved for a few moments before she exits the kitchen.]

Hey! What can I do for you?

[insouluble]

I'd like to work out some kind of arrangement to offset the cost of food.

[showbusiness]

Would you? I'm afraid I don't have much use for help, but I'd be glad to give you some errands for tickets. It's a part of the game, that.

[insouluble]

... As you like.

[showbusiness]

Two options, take 'em or leave 'em.

You can run some packages from the shop to here. Trader'll bring em out if I authorize your card. Ten boxes, 100 tickets each. You can repeat that every day if you want.

Or I can give you a VR program. You'd be digging up onions at 20 tickets per over a two-hour period.

Don't ask for pardoning if you didn't do anything to pardon, kid.

Re: day 5, morning

[unquestion]

Y-, yes! I-I'm sorry!

Is there... something I could do for tickets? To buy food?

Re: day 5, morning

[showbusiness]

Sure is! Lucky for you, that's part of my job.

How about going and giving people some compliments? I'll give you 100 tickets per compliment.

Re: day 5, morning

[unquestion]

Oh, that sounds-- v-very doable! Tha, thank you, Cook-san!
