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!

They're so polite that they've gotta bow back when you bow to them. That knocks the water [a little shake of the bottle] out of the bowl on their heads and they get stuck that way.

[sugarglitch]

... Really? That's it? [She pauses just for a second before she bursts out giggling.]

Man, that must be really stupid-looking! I've gotta try that out! [She was totally going to swipe Sheena's bottle, but now she just wants to try getting the water herself!]

[corrinesbell]

[She would've learned a lesson about trying to steal from a ninja.

Especially when she could've just asked.]

I was just gonna give you this one, if you want it, but it's not like I can stop you from trying.

[sugarglitch]

[Okay, that derails her.]

Woah, really? You'd give that to me? How come?

[Strangers being genuinely nice to her...]

[corrinesbell]

Well, you got me outta trouble, and I can always get more if I can find another one of those guys, and I already have some extra...and why not? [A shrug.] You're trying to win, right?

[sugarglitch]

Oh. [Grinning up at Sheena!] Yeah! I'm gonna win this thing. So that'd be neat.

Why'd you get extra? Have too much fun with the kappas?

[corrinesbell]

So that if anybody showed up and tried to take my stuff, I'd have a backup. I dunno how many people know how to get that water, either. Maybe someone'd trade me for it.

[And she hands over the bottle, no fuss no hassle.] I think I'd rather help you win though.

[sugarglitch]

[Vanellope still can't believe that someone was being so nice to her and they barely knew each other.]

Um, thank you. [She shakes the bottle experimentally, then beams up at Sheena.] I guess you're all right. D'you need any help with the other stuff?

[corrinesbell]

I don't wanna go over to that 'space' place, but I bet there's a lotta people who would in exchange for some of the rest of the prizes, so it's no big deal. Thanks though, for offering.

[Sheena checks to make sure she still has all of her stuff with her...and breaks into a mischievous grin.]

So. Wanna find a kappa?

[sugarglitch]

[Grinning right back!!] Uh, yeah. What do they look like? Is it hard t'find one? They're not gonna try and pull me in and drown me right away are they?

[corrinesbell]

I found a couple in a pond thing, but I think if we can find a river instead that'll work out better. They'll try to trick you into it, you've just gotta be smarter than them.

[sugarglitch]

Okay, gotta be smart when talkin' to a kappa. Got it! Let's go, let's go!

[corrinesbell]

[Whoa she's excited. Sheena laughs a little, following her out the back of the house after a furtive glance around for enemy ninja.]

Okay, let's head out of the village part. Remember, we're looking for a river.

[sugarglitch]

[Nodding enthusiastically! - Oh but she's also noticing Sheena's caution. Hm.]

So what's the fastest way outta here? [She's barely been in the village a week, she doesn't quite know her way around yet!]

[corrinesbell]

[If they try to take that water from Vanellope they'll have another thing coming.]

Probably this way. It's hard to follow the landscape when everything looks so different, though.

[sugarglitch]

Yeah, I guess so. But I haven't been in this game very long, so I didn't get to explore much back when things were normal and stuff!

[corrinesbell]

In...this game? [Maybe she means the hunt and Sheena's just a little lost.] You'll get a chance. This stuff never lasts for more than a week usually.

[sugarglitch]

Huh, really? What is it, some kinda weird bonus level? What happens after a week of this stuff?

[corrinesbell]

[Kid, half the stuff you're saying makes zero sense.]

Then it'll go back to normal, most of the time.

[sugarglitch]

Weird. [But she just shrugs and looks around - look, the river's coming up!]

Hey look, there's the river! [Skipping right ahead is a go!]

[corrinesbell]

Hey, be careful! You could fall in or get yanked in if they're around here.

[sugarglitch]

Ahh, don't worry! I can totally take care of myself!

[She crouches down by the riverbank and leans over the water eagerly!]

[corrinesbell]

They'll grab you and pull you under if you don't pay attention, remember!

[A few are sneaking up on her now.]
