An Elf Cook
An Elf Cook is located in the 2016 incarnation of Crimbo Town after aligning Uncle Crimbo's Boots Chakra.
- After aligning Uncle Crimbo's Boots Chakra:
A portly elf wearing an apron waves you over. "Hello there!" he says, while stirring a large cook-pot. "You must be the adventurer that's helping with Uncle Crimbo's chakras!"
"Yeah, that's right," you say. "Are you his cook, or something?"
"That's me!" the elf says proudly. "Jameson the cook!"
"Nice to meet you. So, since I have a Liver chakra, I guess it makes sense that Uncle Crimbo would have a Stomach--"
"Jelly!"
"...What?"
"Uncle Crimbo's third chakra is Jelly! You know, shakes when he laughs, ho ho ho?"
"Okay, but it's really Stomach or Belly or something, right? It can't literally be Jelly, that's just a metaphor for..."
"Look, all of this is metaphorical, right? Uncle Crimbo, in his very nature as a personification of a holiday, is a metaphor!"
"...I guess you have a point there."
"His Jelly chakra represents his good cheer, jolliness, kindness, and so on. Pretty important! Can't have a Grumpy Gus in charge of Crimbo, after all!"
"Right. Okay, I'll go get it sorted out then."
"Good luck, friend!"
- Subsequent visits (before aligning Uncle Crimbo's Jelly Chakra):
"Hey there!" Jameson grins at you, still stirring his steaming cook-pot. "How's it going with the Jelly chakra?"
"It's coming along. What's that you're cooking, it smells pretty good."
"Stew, I guess!"
"You guess?"
"Yeah, I got distracted mid-recipe and forgot what I was making. But pretty much any food can be stew if you wet it down and stir it up, right?"
"No wonder he asks the kids to leave out cookies for him," you mutter under your breath.
"What's that?"
"Er, nothing. Never mind."
- After aligning Uncle Crimbo's Jelly Chakra:
"Heya, Jameson," you say to the cook elf. "I finished polishing up that Jelly chakra." "I can tell! Can't you just feel how much more cheerful and Crimbo-y it feels around here?"
"Now that you mention it, there is a pleasant sort of... uh... aura, I guess? It does feel like the atmosphere has improved."
"You see? That's the good work you're doing! And you're halfway done!"
"Cool. So what's next?"
"Beats me, you'll have to ask the next elf. Hopefully, my stew will have congealed properly by the time they get here!"
