What's Cooking In the Horror Kitchen?

Dish 1: The Steak Monster, Opening Acrostic

Dish 1: The Steak Monster, Opening Acrostic

Jul 03, 2025

"Hi there, my name is Siorc Ingne, the
Ever energetic, but silent hyena chimera
Living in the dorms of Cultural Culinary Arts Institute. But,
Let me start by saying, my journey is
Over today! That's right,

I'm graduating, and I'm receiving
My culinary license. I'm

So excited to one day open my own restaurant rich
In food from every single culture across the world!
Oh, and now that I'm free, maybe I'll travel! Well, first I need to
Return to my home. I have a pretty huge family.
Chimeras, you see, are human appearing creatures, but have some traits of animals.

I am called Siorc because of my shark brain.
Now, I am just
Going to reveal it! Right
Now, so I am the valedictorian,
Ehehe, that's pretty awesome,

Isn't it? I was the highest

Acheiver here at this college. It
Might have almost six years to

Get here, because I went for a master's, but it was
Rather worth it! And, I
Am the top performer. I
Don't think I could have done it if I studied anywhere else.
Uh, anyway, my graduation is today,
And I am excited.
Though, I won't be giving my speech,
I wrote it down, but I am honestly
Not a talker. I'm
Going to be a little more honest about that

For a moment, I've never
Regarded myself as much
Of a talker, I know that
Might come off

As incredibly ironic since I'm a hyena

Chimera, but I am just not someone who speaks.
Uh, for starters, I don't
Like my voice, so
I use other methods of communication instead.
Now, a lot of people
Are wondering how a
Rather silent person like me got valedictorian.
Yes, I know, it's an

Absolute shocker, isn't it? It's
Rather perplexing, hmm?
To be honest, it really isn't.
Simply put, I just

Continued to get the best grades
Of everyone here, and it
Lead me to getting the top grade point average.
Look, it's not about sociability.
Everything is about
Grades. I never,
Ever went to parties, never accepted invitations

To bars, and the like.
Of course people assumed I
Don't have friends because of that, but
Actually, I do. But, most people assume I'm a never
Yielding loser who is

A stick in the mud. But, I am
Simply not.

Though, I suppose I can
Hardly blame people for assuming this. I'm not
Especially the loudest nor do I hang out

Very often, but I
Am not a complete stick in the mud.
Look, I found some chimeras who aren't
Especially loud party animals.
Don't get me wrong,
I have met a whole ton of
Completely off
The cuff party animals
Over the course of six years I've been here, but I
Rained on their parade
In seconds, so pretty much
All of them
Never tried to invite me to drink with them

Again. In any case,
Starting tomorrow, I

Am a free hyena.

Hopefully, I will get enough funds to open my restaurant within a
Year! I don't
Even know if that's possible, it might
Not be, but I'll put my
Absolute all into it!

Counting the days I'll finally
Have my dream eatery.
I don't know when that
Might be, but with my
Enthusiasm maybe I'll get funds
Relatively quickly!
After all, I can make cuisines from all around the world.

I have what it takes,

Have what it takes to
Absolutely prove to this world there's a
Decillion recipes that I can do!

That's a bit
Of an exaggeration, but I can do anything! Any

Recipe will do. Pretty much,
I can do any cuisine,
So I think a restaurant run by me will
End up being famous, end

Up on television, but I don't care about fame.
Probably, anyway.

But I do care about being the
Ultimate flavor spreader across
The globe! Which,

I know I'm capable of, of course!

Do I think
It'll all go easily for me? I
Don't know, but of course,

I'm going to
Try my best!

You know the key to success is
Always being ready for anything, and
You bet I'm ready for anything!"
