EVENT LOG: SCAVENGER HUNT

[lucetimods]

Who: All you scavenger hunters!
What: Scavenging and other fantabulousness, I suppose.
When: November 24th to 28th
Where: The whole village! And yet also all over time and space...
Summary: See this post for more info.
Rating: P for Points! (Keep it PGish, folks. Anything worthy of a higher rating can be brought to your appointments posts.)

As announced by CJ, the village's immediate environs are divided up according to this map. There are five areas: the Nile, Ice Age, Space Opera, Shogunate, and Gangland. Time-and-place appropriate architecture and conjured up NPCs exist in each area.

Don't forget the scavenger hunt! While actually finding things is ultimatly optional, you can find more information on the hunt here. If you want to claim a reward from the hunt, be sure to link at least two related threads on the new rewards claims post.

Finally, here's a quick rundown of the objects:
- In THE NILE: A ceremonial dagger and a piece of Pharoah's treasure
- In GANGLAND: A tommy gun and a set of car keys
- In ICE AGE: A bone spear and a smilodon's tooth
- In SPACE OPERA: a raygun and part of a robot
- In SHOGUNATE: a samurai sword and water from a kappa's head

Happy hunting!

[Well. Ace didn't expect to be in space when he woke up. And he's sadly not in the mood to deal with another shift. He already put on his regular shorts, and was going to go to the kitchen to make some coffee. But sadly, everything was so bizarre and different, he just plopped into a chair and groaned.] Today is not going to be a good day.

[And he does not want to go out there because it looks like a pain in the ass. Bro, do try to drag him out.]

[fierybluebird]

Correction.

Today, is going to be fun as hell. You just don't even know it yet. [Grabs a coffee and sips it... only to make a face.] Oh hey, new coffeemaker has an option for tea. Sweet. I wonder what else it can do?

[And after a few Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy moments, Marco gets himself a cup of tea and some kickass breakfast pastry.] Ace, Ace, try this croissant. It's really good.

[Waves it under Ace's nose. Smell the sweet chocolate and flaky goodness, taste a bite...]

[hiken_ace]

Yeah, because outside looks so great. [You can feel the sarcasm. It's too... weird and modern for his tastes.

And you shoving that croissant in his face... fine. He'll eat it. He opens his mouth to just take it like that from Marco's hand, but... bites his hand hard, too. Yeah. Enjoy.]

[fierybluebird]

Ow. Didn't Makino ever tell you not to bite the hand that feeds you?

And there's more outside than just this area. Your brother's crew is in an Alabasta area, and everywhere else looks pretty interesting, eh.

[And don't ask how he already knows about the Straw Hat's area or why he came into the kitchen from the roof...]

[hiken_ace]

Never asked to be fed. [He already knows the reason, he doesn't even have to think on it. Seeing Robin. Again. But hearing that there's different areas helps.

A little.] ... what kind of places are there?

[fierybluebird]

Food is good for you.

I'm not sure yet. I heard something about city over by the shops though and that's the first place I'm gonna check out. And one of the items is a samurai sword and water from a kappa, so that place might be cool too, eh?

Want to come? I bet there's more food.

[hiken_ace]

And what if I'm not hungry?

[Marco, you're kinda losing him here.] There's a city? And what are you talking about with items?

[He pauses.] Maybe later. [Which translates to a "no" which translates to "Marco, drag his ass out."]

[fierybluebird]

Then I know you're being an idiot.

[Picks him up, slings him over his shoulders and walks out with him like that. Kidnapping brothers, it's the true Marco way.]

There's a scavenger hunt going on. Free 40 points if you get these ten items scattered all about. I got nothing to spend the points on, but maybe you'll have fun with it.

[hiken_ace]

Maybe I'm just not hungry for once! It happens, okay?

[dfbkgjfdg bro, pls. There's a little flailing as he's picked up.] Oi! Put me down! [And of course, Marco just keeps on going. Ugh, he's not getting out of this one.] You mean those mission points?

[fierybluebird]

You've been eating less for weeks. Did you think I wouldn't notice?

Yes, mission points. Seeing as we haven't found a good mission to go on together yet, it was nice of them to bring the mission here instead, eh?

[Hey there Mr. Grumpyface, when life gets you down, you know what you gotta do? As Marco, just keeps walking, just keeps walking~ No fucks given, beat him up all you want, he won't stop.]

1/2

[hiken_ace]

So I've had a smaller appetite lately. It's not the end of the world. [He grumbles a little to himself.] Knowing them, they'll probably do something to fuck it up. Again.

I LIED 2/3 SHHHH

[hiken_ace]

[... wait, did he start singing. He started singing- WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT SONG, DID HE JUST PULL THAT OUT OF HIS ASS OR SOMETHING. Marco pls, stahop being so weird. Seriously, Ace is just... he doesn't even know.]

[hiken_ace]

[Okay, fine, he'll laugh a little, geez. That was so ridiculously stupid, he can't help it.] How the hell did you make up that song?

[fierybluebird]

Ha ha ha ha hoooo....

I don't know, it just came into my head, eh. It might have been something I heard about Fishman Island a long time ago. Or from Namur. One of them.

[Boop be boop! Marco opens the space doors, complete with Star Trek's "whoosh" sound.]

[hiken_ace]

It's sounds so stupid! [But he still likes it because it's stupid. Anyway, just chilling up on your shoulder.] Can we go somewhere without all this stuff? It's really annoying. Some place quiet sounds good.

[fierybluebird]

You're just jealous of how awesome my voice is, eh.

Quiet... [A shrug.] Want to go to the Alabasta area?

[hiken_ace]

"Awesome"... if that helps you sleep at night, sure. [Lies, your voice sucks.]

Mn... what other areas are there?

[fierybluebird]

[It's fabulous. He's even getting voice lessons from a heron!] It does, actually. My marvelous singing voice croons me to sleep whenever I want. And seduces birds.

Ah let me check the journal.

[Flips it open to CJ's post.] Okay looks like some sort of winter island area, something with robots, oh that's where we are now, some place with kappa and samurai.

Eh, just come with me to the city. It's not quiet, but it reminds me of something... It needs investigating. I don't know what a Studebaker is though. Or why it needs keys. Maybe it's a chest.

[hiken_ace]

I know it sounds so dull, it can put me to sleep. [Take that.] Kappa and samurai?

[Bro, you were not listening.] I don't know what those are, either, so let's just go somewhere else. I did say quiet.

[fierybluebird]

Food can put you to sleep, that's not saying anything.

Right. Kappa and samurai.

[Sigh.] None of it looks quiet, but it's probably quieter than here. Fine, let's try the place with kappa and samurai. Maybe they'll have tea. My guess is that it's probably like the moon festival, but more so. And something with kappa, so there's gotta be a lot of water.

[hiken_ace]

Food does not put me to sleep!

Mn... [He's quiet for a moment as he thinks.] Okay, first of all, put me down. Second, we'll spend a little time in the kappa place if I like it, then head over to the city. Sound good?

[fierybluebird]

Oh, okay, you just choose to sleep in your food. Makes perfect sense to me matey.

Aye. Promise to come with me? I'm not putting you down until you promise.

[hiken_ace]

I'm gonna punch you for that later.

I promise, I promise! [CAN YOU PUT HIM DOWN NOW.]

[fierybluebird]

Now I don't want to set you down because you'll punch me.

[Burns blue flames, just in case, and sets him down.]

Kappa-land now?

[hiken_ace]

[You get... a punch, but it's pretty light. Pussy. :\] Kappa-land.

How are we gonna get the water from its head, anyway?
