| ─── | It was Sunday, October 2nd, 2022.
Today happened to be the 1st Sunday in October, a perfect time for them to hold their first official meeting. After all, the TCC had only held two auditions so far, with some private auditions taking place between the two. It was now time for the club to hold its first monthly meeting with the current members. Last month's auditions had been held on a Sunday and Kim thought it would be fitting for the first meeting to also take place on a Sunday. It seemed to work out for everyone. However, there was a bit of a snag if he wanted to make it the first Sunday of the month. He'd already planned on attending two other club meetings that day. There was a Tea Sampling meeting, held by Sirin Liu and his very own Clumsy Club meeting he'd set up earlier. So, he needed to decide if he wanted to hold the TCC's first meeting the day before, the same day, a weekday, or the following weekend. It had taken him some time to think but eventually he'd decided on squeezing in the TCC meeting on the same day as the other two. After all, why not? Kim had too much to do on the weekdays and the weekends were jam-packed with various things. Putting them together was easier. Tea Sampling was supposed to take place during lunchtime. Kim had set up the Clumsy Club meeting to start a short time after the Tea Sampling meeting was over. He'd guessed it wouldn't take longer than an hour to wrap things up at the Tea meeting, so the Clumsy Club one was supposed to take place at 2PM. Therefore, if he wanted to also include the TCC meeting, he'd probably need to set it around 4PM to give him enough time to set things up for the members. The orange haired teen tilted his head to the side, easing out some kinks built up inside his neck. Maybe he was regretting setting it up today because he was quite tired from the previous two meetings. But it was too late. Letters had gone out and the TCC members were probably preparing to head to the area soon. Kim had sent instructions for them to meet him down at the campgrounds. He'd reminded them to bring their star pin-patch with them. A sigh escaped his lips as Puffie sat on his shoulder and looked around at the surrounding area with interest, wondering where they were heading off to. Kim carried a bunch of containers, namely 12, filled with various ingredients inside his backpack and wondered how many would show up there tonight.... The amount of people who came would be important. After all, this month's challenge would be a team challenge and members would be divided into two teams. Not that any of the members knew this, as the type of challenge was a secret until they got to the meeting and were informed about it by him. Kim was looking forward to seeing who would show up and how things would go this afternoon. Kim was currently wearing a black chef's jacket with red trim, along with a pair of black slacks and took a seat at the broad campfire area. The location was not too far away from the supply shack but far enough away that it wasn't a fire hazard. There were some picnic benches around the area too. The orange haired teen had levitated some of them to come over to him and placed them where he needed them. They pretty much were set up close to the campfire pit but far enough away that nothing bad would happen. Setting his satchel down on one of the benches, Kim made sure Puffie was settled before he opened his enchanted backpack and took out the 12 containers filled with ingredients. Setting them on the picnic bench's surface, he placed them so members would be able to see what lay inside each one when they came... At first glance there were a ton of them. One might even wonder if he was going overboard with the amount that were displayed to the naked eye. But people didn't realize how fast food tended to disappear during a cooking club. It was usually for two reasons. One, they were so hungry they couldn't help but eat a lot, or there were a lot of members. The latter would obviously make food go away faster. But if it wasn't for this reason, it was for the other reason. That some people weren't good at cooking or baking in the first place and they needed to be reassured that it wasn't the end of the world if they wasted some ingredients. Having a lot of ingredients available meant you didn't have to worry about running out of them instantly. Kim sat down on a stump of a tree, makeshift seats that were available around the campfire. The picnic benches were for eating much later. Well, the picnic benches behind Kim were reserved for that particular purpose. The picnic benches on the opposite site of the campfire were for the members to do their prep work on. Once they'd done that and were ready to start cooking or baking, they'd come over to the tree stump seats around the campfire and start their cooking or baking there. The place Kim had chosen had two cooking campfire pits, which was perfect for this team challenge he was going to give them. All that remained was for the members to show up there... Kim glanced over at the 12 containers. It was going to be interesting to see the members of his club start to cook and work together as a team. The containers held hot dogs (1), hamburgers (1), buns (1), potatoes (1), an assortment of vegetables (3), spices (1), soup stocks (1), basic ingredients for the above (3). What would the members be able to create? |

Parselmouth is in bold black.
The culinary arts were one of Kiana's many strengths - but a very rare passion of hers. A cold, stony complexion and a constantly grim frown gave off the impression that she was a cantankerous young lass. Quite the opposite. Only those who knew her well would ever get to see her warm, fuzzy, friendly demeanor.
Much of this stems from her childhood. When you've been raised with the burden of the world on your shoulders, is there time for play? Happiness? No. Childhood is but a fleeting dream, a training period for the future. There is no time to lay back. Throughout her entire childhood Kiana only knew two things: practice, compete. That was all.
Of course, that didn't mean that she was completely devoid of free time. Occasionally there was a rare leisure activity that would actually please her parents. Cooking was one of them. Her parents hated anything not academic related - plaything board games, for example. Her family never had 'family game night' or whatever that strange muggle concept was called. Instead, they held a series of rapid-fire quiz questions every night. Kiana would only be permitted to sleep when she finally scored 100% on the 'test.' Cooking was different. It wasn't academic but it served a purpose - "culinary skills are essential. How else are you going to feed your children?" her mother would often muse. Kiana loved cooking with her mother. Every time she thought of how far away her beloved mum was now, she couldn't help but cry a little.
She remembered the savory taste of "transforming rice" and the crisp crunch of her mother's signature tempura.
Kiana strode confidently, making her way to the campgrounds where the "TCC" meeting was to be held. Whatever they were doing today, Kiana wanted to remake her beloved "transforming rice" recipe again. Of course, that all depended on what ingredients she would be provided with.
As she stood alone, scanning the horizon for any club signposts, she let out a long sigh. Her fingers ached to move.

three meetings in one day.... kim what were you thinkingggggg bailey sighed. at least she hadn't had to set up for this meeting - she had needed to rest so she had changed into clean clothes, taken a quick shower and taken a nap. Feeling refreshed, bailey woke up from her nap. Putting her hair into a quick braid she shrugged into a loose cream cardigan, and put the essentials into her bag. Her water bottle full of clear, clean and cold water, her wand, several containers to store food, a notebooks, her journal of food ideas, and a bandana - Ravenclaw blue of course- to tie her hair back later.
Bailey also had a tray of cookies, as a dessert treat for the club if they were successful in whatever challenge kim gave them.
Walking down to the camp grounds, bailey arrived decently early. There did seem to be one person already there, but bailey was blanking on her name. So instead, bailey smiled and said cheerfully, "hello!!!"
Then she made her way over to Kim, and after setting the tray of cookies down, gave kim a hug. Slumping dramatically onto one of the chairs bailey sighed dramatically and asked "whyyyy did we schedule so many club meetings on one dayyyyyy - i had to take a nap. you have to be so exausted kim how are you still going...?

| ─── | It was chaotic.
Three club meetings in one single day was a little much to handle. But he was able to successfully plan it. Kiana was the first member to arrive at the location and Kim greeted her with his usual 'yo', waving her over to him. Soon after, Bailey came too, complaining about how many club meetings they'd done today and a faint smile could be seen on his lips for a brief moment. "I'm used to it." Kim told her and looked around, no one else was coming at the moment, which meant they would be running late. He wasn't surprised because people were busy with their studies, homework and other extracurricular activities at the castle now. But if they didn't plan on showing up, hopefully they would send him an owl to let him know. "Welcome to the TCC, Kiana. After a few more people arrive we can get started." Kim told her and wondered what he'd do if no one else showed up due to trying to cram the meeting into a day where lots of other meetings had taken place too. A lot of people might not show up because of this. Kim hadn't considered that at the time.... But it was still relatively early, there was still time for more people to show up this afternoon.... Hopefully at least three other members came. At least they could do two teams of 2 if there were four members. Of course, Kim and Bailey would oversee. |

Cooking? One of Cicely’s favourite things she did back at home, whenever she felt stressed or worried, she’d just go to the kitchen, and make something yummy. She loved to make food for those she loved, she rather watch people eat her meal than eat it herself. She usually made Korean or Japanese food, as it tasted delicious. At home, when she wanted to make something, she’d go to her family living room, where she’d pick out a recipe from the bookshelf, she usually used the cyan blue covered one, and and immersed herself into it, she had at least made every single recipe in the book once. Then she’d go to the kitchen and prepare the ingredients. There was always fresh vegetables available in the fridge and she’d spend the whole afternoon making something nice, like strawberry cake or beef ribs. She used to pretend she was a chef when she was cooking, cutting the peppers with smooth cutting movements and sizzling the pork in the pan. Now today she was going to a meeting where they cook. Wasn’t that lovely?
She walked out of the castle, wearing a white shirt along with her prized cardigan and beige trousers. She smiled, as the wind blew into her hair. She was so excited, as she made her way to the campground, she saw only a few people there, all waiting it seems. She smiled as she approached them. There was picnic benches and a fireplace there. “Hey there! Hope I’m not too late.” she smiled. “Or too early.” she added. She was wearing her favourite clips on her hair and she scanned the scene. “What are we doing today?
