The Great Luceti Rock Hunt

[ahappylie]

Who: Everyone here and anyone who wants to play along, even without a rock. o/
What: Rock hunting!
When: March 10th
Where: All over Luceti
Summary: Grumpy pants Smoker needs a pick me up and what better way to do it than trolling him relentlessly. Our lovely volunteers received a painted rock and a note - after that it's up to them.
Rating: G~PG

It didn't take long to find all his "volunteers," but once he had, he gave them their rocks and sent Smoker a message.

Notice anything missing? I have what belongs to you. Come find them and you'll find me.

Stealing what technically belonged to the Marine was a good enough reason for the grumbly man to come out, but it helped that Souji left the thief's name and identity as prize for finding all the appropriate rocks.

He just didn't need to mention he had sent decoys out as well.

[ooc; Post with your character as a top level and Smoker will find them to talk and retrieve the rocks. Go crazy! Make him sing, dance, stand on his head, whatever you feel like as long as players involved are cool with it. ...also no one saw me post to the wrong comm. orz]

[Kohaku had the privilege of waking up to a painted rock right by her face today. So clearly, today was going to be a weird day. And it's quite confusing to know someone is looking for a rock, since it was kind of given to her.

She won't worry too much about that though. Throughout the day she will be walking around with the rock in both hands, and hoping someone will say something. She would really like to give it back to the right person that wants it.]

Guess who died and was late to their own funeral!!

[justicereigns]

[Smoker scowls and at least the first place he looks is Okita's. So he's knocking on Kohaku's door.]

I was wondering what happened.

[amberguardian]

[Well, the door will open with Kohaku holding the rock, though most of it, especially the painted side is well hidden.]

Hello.

Funtimes with CFIDS. Sorry for the ridiculously late!!!

[justicereigns]

[He tilts his head at the rock.] Morning Kohaku.

Have you seen any painted rocks lying around? Your roommate stole them all. I think.

Fun

[amberguardian]

[Why do you have to just ask her. She still can't lie!]

Only one rock...why would Okita steal rocks though?

IKR?

[justicereigns]

[Because that is what Smoker does. He even asked random strangers and people in the street :| No really.]

Because he's insane. How should I know?

[Sorry Kohaku, he is in a very bad mood.]

[amberguardian]

Are you sure it was him? That doesn't sound like something he would do.

[Little oblivious here, yep.]

[justicereigns]

It was definitely him. He made me paint them in the first place. He said it'd be relaxing. I don't see what's relaxing in this rock-hunt, do you?

[amberguardian]

Maybe he wants you to meet more people?

[justicereigns]

Probably, but that doesn't make it better.

[amberguardian]

...How bad is stealing painted rocks? [Of course stealing is bad, but rocks? That's new.]

[justicereigns]

It's more annoying than anything else! What was the point of having me paint them in the first place if he was just planning to steal them all?!

[amberguardian]

Maybe it's like an easter egg hunt! [Yeah, she knows about holidays now!]

[justicereigns]

A what?

[amberguardian]

Easter egg hunt! People paint egges, or find fake colorful ones, hide them, and their children have to go find them.

I don't really know why, but it is fun for them.

[justicereigns]

Sounds weird, but I guess. Only instead of eggs... I'm hunting rocks?

[In which Smoker examines his life and his choices.]

[amberguardian]

Exactly!

[And then she looks down at her rock.]

Oh! I guess that means I should've hidden mine.

[justicereigns]

[Facepalms.]

I think if you hide it, I'll never actually find it.

[amberguardian]

...Why is that?

[justicereigns]

It's a rock. The only difference is that it's a non-defective stacking rock with paint on it. It would blend in very easily with other rocks and I can only talk to plants to get their help through you.

[amberguardian]

I could always hide it inside. That would be easier.

[justicereigns]

I suppose so yes. Are you going to hide it now, or is it already hidden?

[amberguardian]

I'll hide it now! So close your eyes!

[justicereigns]

[Sighs and closes his eyes, though that's not going to stop him from complaining.]

I'm not actually canine you know. [But he does have ridiculously keen hearing, so he listens closely for details.]

[amberguardian]

Kids can find the eggs without any problems! [Because they're in plain sight usually. But that's not important.

He'll be hearing quite a few thuds while she finds a good place, but eventually she'll give up, and use her magic to hold the rock up, underneath the table. And come walking over when she's done.

Thankfully she is very quiet with everything she does.]

There!
