_{[When the broadcast starts the image above is shown with a short accompanying tune before it fades away to show Ciel and Oz looking rather dapper as they sit at a fancy little table with tea and pieces of cake. Both are smiling as they greet the feed as Ciel begins to address it.]}

Good Morning Siren's Port! Both Oz Vessalius and I, Earl Ciel Phantomhive, would like to welcome everyone to Funtom's Cake Challenge! Three teams will be pitted against one another to bake and decorate the most elaborate, captivating and delicious cake they can for the grand prize of one thousand dollars to each individual member of the winning team.

But, Ciel! Don't forget, if they fail to finish their cake in time, they'll forfeit the money. [ he sips at his tea ] Isn't there a charity we could give it to instead? [ mmhmm. he's doubting the team's ability to finish. Are you really going to take that? ]

Well, there is the Newcomer Fund, but surely one of the teams will win. Each team will be judged by our team of five judges consisting of Gabriel, Madam Red, Xerxes Break, Allen Walker and Franziska Von Karma. Do your best - they will not be judging your creations lightly.

[ Oz's eyes go wide ] That's quite a list and it certainly won't be easy for our players to make an impression on our judges. [ do some of them even taste their food? But then he giggles. ] Should we warn them to stay on their toes? I know of at least one judge who likes to show up in the oddest places. [ yes, Break. That's you. He has high hopes for you! Just don't eat all the cake. ]

Batter will fly and so will mixing spoons, I believe. Keep your wits about you, contestants, the whole port will be watching!

And don't forget, if you see something you like -- or dislike -- send in your texts, your comments, anything! Our contestants won't be responding, but they might just see something to egg them on because, that's right, they'll be able to see and hear every word of it too as we'll be broadcasting the stream right over their heads.

Honestly, I'm looking forward to it. Things could get really interesting, don't you think?

_{[Ciel nods in agreement, lifting his teacup off the saucer.]} I do. May the best team win - let the competition begin!

[With the whirring mechanical sound of a blender, Bender revs up his hands, one after the over, and strikes a sinister pose.]

Okay, meatbags; lets make them a cake they'll never forget.




Also, if we lose, can anyone spot me bus fare?

[mirroredmemory]

[Xion's standing there in her apron with a small notebook full of her recipes and looks just the slightest bit intimidated at all the people there who are here to bake, until she realises that perhaps the one she needs to watch out for is her team-mate, the one who looks like an Armor even if he isn't one.

And she's certainly never been called a 'meatbag'.]

Um...

[benderisgreat34]

What? You never seen a high-power self-propelled uber-appliance before or something?

[Bender flexes his perfect metal arms in an attempt to impress; they utterly lack visible muscles and mostly resemble plain metal tubing, so this isn't nearly as interesting as it sounds.]

[safeguarded]

[Meanwhile, Peeta is watching with fascination, clearly impressed, though it's not by the flexing, of course.]

Can you really use your hands as a mixer? That's incredible.

must bring your own recipe. safety not guaranteed. bender has only done this once before.

[benderisgreat34]

Yeah, sure, I totally got this covered; check this out.

[He casually opens his torso like a cabinet to reveal a temperature-control knob and a pair of wire racks holding springform pans. He takes the pans out and hands them to Peeta.]

Uh, one of you guys knows how to make a cake though, right?

[mirroredmemory]

Wow! That's really something.

[Xion is pretty much stunned by this impressive display of Swiss-Army-Bot.]

So you're a cooking Armor?

[benderisgreat34]

[Bender nearly spouts off a flippant one-liner, but remembers that he has to actually cooperate with these people if he wants a chance at winning.]

Uh, yeah, sure, we'll go with that.
