[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!

[Hibiki has had it with the Shogunate. She should be happy there, but her outfit has made her a bit too popular with samurai looking to fight in her honor. Even when she takes away their swords, they somehow find more.

As such, she's taking the first opportunity she can to try and make a break for the next world. Unfortunately, she's carrying kappa water and a few swords with her, because what is she supposed to do?! Just leave them around for anyone to pick up? They're dangerous! Unfortunately, she's been spotted, and she's currently trying to escape from samurai who have pledged eternal service to her.

Whelp.

Anyone is free to help her out at any time. She looks like she's under attack. If Souji would rather watch, however, Hibiki is going to run to him for help anyways.]

[gohon]

[ Oh, he'll notice the samurai chasing her. He gets up and for a moment moves to actually help her out when he spots that she's got a few swords with her.

Is this another one of those steal-swords-from-a-samurai thing again?

His gaze drifts back to the samurai chasing her, but it seems they have their weapons just fine.

Well then.

He hurries to the scene and jumps in between Hibiki and her attackers. Without hesitation, he draws his own weapon and begins fighting them off. Wow. These guys are pathetically easy. ]

[brandnewday]

[If Hibiki knew for that Okita was pegging her as a thief at first, she'd protest...but as it stands now, she's a bit out of breath and eager to put anyone strong-looking between herself and her pursuers.

She's just going to be over here, hunched over, catching her breath. She has to do everything at 200% energy...]

Thanks a bunch! Urgh... Y-you can win!

[gohon]

[ Of course he can win! As she says that he gives another clean swipe at his last opponent, who tries to move back away from him but the blade makes a nice cut on his upper arm. Clutching his arm, he yells some profanities at Souji before running off.

When they're gone, he turns back to Hibiki and flicks the blade clean of blood and sheathes his sword. ]

No, no need to thank me. This is my work, after all.

[brandnewday]

[Wow, that's...that's actually kind of scary. Hibiki's never seen a fight or anything like that up close...and that's real blood, right? She hadn't actually seen anyone get attacked yet. His words bring her attention back to reality.

Oh, she's not supposed to thank him...? Is that really okay.] Okay. If you say so. Um...[What if this guy is like some of the others and tries to force his way into her household?] You're not going to do anything weird like swear fealty to me now, are you?

[gohon]

[ He gives a snort. ] I'm not sure where you got that idea, but I won't, not to someone like you at least. Don't worry.

[brandnewday]

People here have been doin' that to me all day. They think I'm some warlord's daughter or somethin'. It's kind of a pain...

[Is she supposed to take offense?! Oh, well, she barely notices.]

[gohon]

Mm. [ Well, no matter.

His attention goes back to the bunch of swords she's got. That's more of his concern, really. ]

And that's why they've been chasing you? Not because of those? [ He nods to the swords. ]

[brandnewday]

These swords? Nope, they gave 'em to me when I asked...but they keep findin' new ones. I didn't know being a samurai was so tough. There are swords everywhere.

[gohon]

Huh. Well that's something. [ Narrows his eyes. Hm. ]

Don't you have enough already? What do you plan to do with all of those?

[brandnewday]

That's a really good question...I can't just throw 'em away, that doesn't feel right. I'll probably give 'em away. Do you want any extras, just in case?

[gohon]

Nah, I should be fine. [ His hand drops to rest on his own katana. He grins. ] I've got my own.

[brandnewday]

Y-yeah...where'd ya learn how to fight like that, anyways? It looks like you've been doin' it for a long time!

[gohon]
