quest one | here comes peter cottontail!

[tsunderator]

CHARACTERS: any and all!
DATE: April 8th~14th
RATING: PG for possible (and expected) swearing?
SUMMARY: It's the first Quest in The World, just in time for Easter! There's a message awaiting everyone on their Relics when they wake up, so hop to it!

[ You'll see this becoming a theme, Kain unfortunately decked out for the holiday in question while being rather sour about it. He's at his usual spot behind the Quest Kiosk, in his usual blue garb. The only difference is the silver bunny ears perching on his head, one straight with a bent tip and the other rather floppy.

The fluffy tail sticking out the back of the chair was not helping matters any. There's a basket filled with pastel paper easter grass and filled to burst with silver and bronze eggs, intricately designed with pipes, rivets and gears.

The Relics around town chirped, steamed, and vibrated, with the message already on-screen.

HAPPY EASTER （＊´∀｀＊ｂ）━━！！！！ There's eight eggs to be found in every area and dungeon today, so grab a basket by the Chaos Gate and find them all! One has a surprise for you, so bring the other seven to the Quest Kiosk for your final prize!

There's a sign beside the stacks of empty easter baskets detailing the objective a little further, stating that eggs in dungeons will be found no lower than the second floor, and that there's a prize for participating as well.

In the meantime, Kain is kicked back and playing a game on his Relic. ]



( ooc | Please don't forget to tag your characters into the log when you've replied! Here's the low-down on prizes: one of the eggs, when picked up, will spontaneously combust and your character will have a Rabbit Hood item automatically equipped. You can't remove it for the rest of the week, and it will give the character unique bunny ears like Kain, in the character's hair color (but sometimes accidents happen and it may not match!).

Anyone who participates but doesn't collect all the eggs in one area will be auto-equipped with an equally-irremovable Rabbit Tail charm ONLY ONCE! There will be no item duplicates, and all of the eggs they gathered will disappear at the end of the Quest if not turned in for the prize. The Rabbit Tail charm will give them a perfectly round fluff tail to match their ears.

Finally, if you collect all seven (eight with the bunny ears), you'll win a basket filled with fresh hot food, some extra rations, and a number of healing items. More free grub on the house! )

Yes, you did well. [yeah, he made that connection fairly well for a person who's never cared for pets. viki is probably close enough anyway.]

[solveforn]

...Sorry. I wanted to know them. What their dreams were... if they were like my friends from before.

[N looks a little lonely, for a moment, before shifting his attention and mood entirely. Live in the moment, just like the animals do.]

Let's move to another area. We'll see what we can find.

[uwawa]

W-wa... [ she can recognise loneliness if nothing else, it's all too common in war. ]

It's okay! Just be careful! [ she tiptoes to give him a little patpat. ]

Okay, I'll follow you!

[lavenderglasses]

[he arches an eyebrow, but decides not to push for the time being. he's supposed to be angry at N anyway.]

After you, then.

[solveforn]

[N doesn't seem to react poorly to the patting on the back, at least! He awkwardly smiles, and goes on ahead, sword still drawn for precaution.

He'll lead them to the next spot, a couple bridges over, making wide arcs around the monsters to avoid any unnecessary fights. He stops, spying a little bit of color under a tree.]

I think that's...

[But then it moves??

It appears to be a lucky animal!]

[uwawa]

[ she follows, staying close to both of them. ]

Eh? Is that a monster again? [ she looks worried between the two of them. wat do? D; ]

[lavenderglasses]

[he frowns at the things as N points it out, nodding slightly at viki's question.]

It could be, so let's not provoke it, alright? [N this is blantantly directed at you.]

[solveforn]

...No, it's different. I'll go look.

[N, fearlessly and potentially stupidly walking right on up to it! Hello, little Fate Worm. It flips, and starts running around to avoid the strangers.]

Harmless!

[uwawa]

...so...we recruit it? [ is that what you do with harmless animals? She looks at Saralegui to see if he knows what to do. ]

[lavenderglasses]

We leave it be. For all we know, it'll attack if we get too close.

[yes, it is a derpy little worm thing. but the most innocent looking things could be dangerous. just look at yuuri. or himself, even.]

[solveforn]

Yes, yes, leave him alone. He's happy.

[Such a simple thing, so quickly, completely lifts N's spirits! He's got a much happier spring in his step as he keeps walking.]

Wonderful. This place... it's not perfect, but the elements and components are there. With the proper balancing and putting the components into the right formulas, this place may very well become perfect.

[uwawa]

Oh, okay. [ she is... clearly somewhat confused by what N says. She looks around as if trying to see what he's talking about. ]

Wa! Is that a box over there? [ point point. things are in boxes, right? ]

[lavenderglasses]

"Perfect" is subjective.

[perfect would involve passage home, without all these stupid games. but no need to argue that right now. he turns his head in the direction viki points in, squinting.]

It looks like...a treasure chest?

[solveforn]

I've only read about those in stories. Unless it's a child's toy chest, that is.

[uwawa]

There were treasure chests where I come from! There were nice things in them!

[lavenderglasses]

It's not like anyone is taking any of this seriously anyway. Let's just go look.

[and he'll just stride on ahead of the others, rolling his eyes, tolerance for this game quickly shrinking.]

[solveforn]

It's a game of hide and seek. I don't think it's supposed to be serious.

[uwawa]

[ Is already there. What is walking? ]

[lavenderglasses]

[deadpan look. seriously viki stop that, how do you expect him to be chivalrous and all that with all these teleporting shenanigans.]

Is there anything in it?

[solveforn]

[N doesn't seem to be too distracted by the teleporting! It's cool he's got a friend who's a psychic type.]

You made it there first, go on and open it!

[Nothing about ladies first though.]

[uwawa]

E-eh? Me? Really?! [ but isn't the leader supposed to open things? ] W-wa, I won't do it wrong, will I?

[ she taps at the box with her staff a few times and it pops open. ]

[lavenderglasses]

[luckily, it doesn't seem to be a trap box -- that would be just a little too cruel for their first outing. saralegui keeps a safe few feet away just in case anything does decide to blow up, but he does lean in curiously to try to peek at whatever the chest's contents are over viki's shoulder.]

[solveforn]

[A level 1 accessory! Nice. N reaches in and pulls out the necklace.]

Equipment, I think. It appears to have stats attached to it.

[What a strange thing! But it's not completely beyond N's scope of understanding. It's like a hold item for a Pokemon. It looks something like a choice scarf.

He looks between his two party mates, before passing it to Viki.]

Here. You found the chest, so it's yours. May it make you stronger.

[uwawa]

...huh? Really? Really, really? [ she looks between the both of them...then again she did get equipment from Prince and the others. Oh right, what happened to all that ]

Okay then, thank you! [ Viki equipped simple necklace! ...wait, wasn't she wearing one already? ] Oh, where did that go?

[lavenderglasses]

[he just nods slightly, half-smirking at her excitement. it wasn't like he particularly cared about jewelry anyway, and if it made her happy then so be it.]

Well, that's wonderful and all, but we're still short a number of eggs.
