High up above the City, the figure who overlooked the sprawling mega-metropolis gazed down upon his little world, body expression rather lively and enthusiastic if the wiggling fingers were something to go by.
"I've gotten the minimum required number of Players to once more instigate a session... I wonder what will come out this time...~" The man shaped being simply reached out, grasping the handle of a machine that looked suspiciously like a roulette, if said roulette was as big as a whale and had literally tens of thousands of spaces etched upon its face. The giant wheel spun with the intensity of a hurricane after the lever was pulled, slowing down once a full minute had passed. Soon, the chosen theme was...
"Ohoho... Rather wonderful, this Challenge... I can't wait to see what the Players will cook up..." Chortling with glee, the Viewer eagerly watched...
The City rapidly changed a wave of color emanated out from the Tower and swept through every nook and cranny of the giant place, spreading to its outermost region in the blink of an eye. Even those who were awake and awaiting the very next day would be hard pressed to find any gradual change to the environment considering just how fast these differences came about, space all but shifting into something else in less than the blink of an eye. This particular Challenge was rather colorful to say the least... If one was to describe it with only one word, then it could only be described as "Plentiful".
Food sprouted up everywhere, far as the eyes could see. Ridiculous and nonsensical things such as
trees that grew giant baked goods to
ice cream mountains to
giant breakfast themed islands could be seen in the distance landscape depending on where people were located. Rivers of wine and mint candy grasses, cotton candy clouds and literal candy canes. It was utterly alien and defied the laws of physics, and even some regular ingredients could be seen to be warped as though they were something much more quirky like fish that literally shined a golden luster to butterflies whose wings were made from potato chips. There were even giant dangerous animals rampaging about certain parts of the city, untold amounts of property damage while still fitting in the theme of the challenge such as giant boars that barbecued themselves from their own anger. Just about anything could be imagined as long as it was epicurean in nature.
The various Players would find this to be just the tip of the iceberg as they experienced the liberal food themed challenge that all but beckoned to be eaten. Ranma for his part had been all but gaping, since this was a level of weird that was too much even for him. Still, he had thick skin to situations like this and proceeded to just go about sampling everything like the glutton he was, rather enjoying himself through his stomach. "...Well, it's not too bad if it's like this..." Already the pigtailed boy was going about and picking up random things to either munch on or throw in a bag for later eating. Currently he was seated in the branches of a tree that seemed to grow Japanese bentos, plucking a box and opening it up to reveal the fragrant smells of tamagoyaki and miso soup along with fresh white rice. Chao herself was out and about procuring the various ingredients that her restaurant would need, filling her stocks up to their very limit by taking advantage of the bounty.
Over in Roanapur, the same thing was happening though in a much more chaotic in nature. The poor were acting like wild animals, fighting tooth and claw over the large bounty while the rich went about the place, charging those weaker than themselves for the right to eat. Others were gored and attacked by wild beasts who appeared in the same vicinity as the tempting foodstuffs, defending their territories. Those who had went through previous Challenges were also waiting for the other foot to drop, seeing what specific Objective the Viewer had in store for this Challenge and when it would show up. They were jaded folks, and simply put, there was no such thing as a free meal. In fact, for some... it could be considered a "last meal"...
