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! )

[ he's just half a step behind! ]

Are you ready, Master Lu? [ in case there is an ambush behind this door. ]

[firetrap]

I am prepared.

[ He... has his swords out still too. Just in case.

He pushes the door opened and -- that statue. Lu Xun looks at the inside of the temple in awe... It's empty, though, other than the statue, the chest, and the warp point he's come to recognize.

They can enter, right? ...He slowly takes one step in. ]

[dragonsjaw]

[ yes he still has his spear in ready of course.

he pauses in front of the statue, should they...bow? He decides to, just in case. A small respectful bow before he makes his way in with Lu Xun. ]

[firetrap]

[ Uncertainly, Lu Xun walks up and when he thinks it's a comfortable distance, he bows as well...

And stays there. Waiting to see if someone tells him to rise. ]

[dragonsjaw]

[ that is not happening and after a long moment Jiang Wei looks over and straightens up. ]

I suppose we should take that as permission to go ahead. [ or else they'll be here all day. ]

[firetrap]

[ Cautiously raises his head and looks to the beast statue curiously...

Then at the chest.

Back at the beast statue. ] Do we leave the offering inside?

[dragonsjaw]

Perhaps... [ he half lowers his spear since it seems rude to hold it up in a deity's shrine. ]

There is another chest there as well... Perhaps we place it in there?

[firetrap]

[ ...well, this chest can't be booby-trapped, can it?

Lu Xun nods. ] Very well. If you will, Master Jiang? [ Since... you have it. ]

[dragonsjaw]

[ oh right, forgot about that being busy trying to figure out what kind of deity this might be. ]

Of course. [ ...poking with his spear would be rude, right? Okay so he's going to open it normally. ]

There is something in here. [ a reward for paying respects? ]

[firetrap]

A weapon. [ It's a low level lance with the wind element. Lu Xun looks over. ] Will it be useful for you?

[ ...because it's a power weapon he can't use it ]

[dragonsjaw]

[ he picks up the weapon and sets down the symbol down. ]

It should be. [ he sounds a little bit unsure, mostly because things seem to work differently here.

Except now he has two weapons. How does he put things away again? A moment of awkward fidgetting and he manages to put the new weapon away. ] I will examine it in greater detail once we've completed our remaining task. Shall we? [ glancing back at the beast statue again. THEY DON'T NEED TO DO ANYTHING ELSE DO THEY? ]

[firetrap]

[ He follows Jiang Wei's line of sight back to the statue, studying it, trying to memorize the features. Perhaps it was foolish to think that the deity would be present, perhaps someone back in the town would know of it--? ]

The last-- Ah! [ As he turns, Lu Xun finally looks downwards and it's by the warp point he spots the final egg, which he goes to pick up. Smiling at his companion, he says, ] We have completed it.

[dragonsjaw]

Then all that is left is to return to the city to turn in the eggs. [ ...that sounds weird. ]

Perhaps we will get some answers now, there must be a greater significance to this task.

[firetrap]

[ He nods, eyeing the rabbit ears on Jiang Wei's head for a moment ... wondering how he must looked with the ears on his own head. ]

Let us proceed to the Quest Kiosk. [ The unfamiliar words are hard to say, but he manages it! And, warp point go~! ]
