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! )

[neither does he. he makes a heroic effort of following along, but give him a break, he's still trying to wrap his head around the concept of a video game.]

As long as you understand it, it's fine for now.

[solveforn]

[Hmm! He selects an area. Δ Disputing Heretic's Night Moon. Satisfied with his selection, he sends the party to the area.

Nighttime area! Low-level monsters, but what a pleasant place.]

Just as I thought.

[uwawa]

E-eh? How did we do that? [ getting a taste of her own medicine or so...? ]

You can teleport too! Am I really needed then...?

[lavenderglasses]

It seems to be this place's way of sending people to these areas for their games. It only works at these gates, however, and only with the aid of those devices. There's a limit to where one can get with this method, so I doubt it's going to replace you.

[it's ok viki, you are still useful. and cute.]

[solveforn]

It's very different from you, Viki. Your skills are unique to humans, as far as I have seen.

[uwawa]

I can still help then? Yay, I'm glad!

[lavenderglasses]

It's good to know you want to be helpful. I don't have to feel guilty if I need a favor, then.

[he keeps his tone lighthearted, joking, but there is a layer of sincerity to it. always good to know where he could seek help from without fear of owing a debt, or being seen as manipulative.

glancing back to N, he adopted a smile and nodded in the general direction of the rest of the field.]

Did you want to take the lead again? Or have your new ears discouraged you from it?

[solveforn]

[N looked uneasy at Saralegui before the comment about the ears. Guilt, in needing a favor... rather, the intent to call on a favor. N wasn't very comfortable with that. It was rather like Ghetsis, and after so recently being scorned--

He looks ahead, distracting himself from those thoughts.]

I will take the lead.

[uwawa]

I want to ehlp, I definitely want to help! So if there's anything that even I can do both of you should tell me, wa! [ she could not be more sincere. ]

After all, you're taking care of me now!

[lavenderglasses]

I will keep it in mind, thank you. [and he offers viki a smile as he falls in behind N, all too aware of the look the other boy had given him but playing oblivious. so despite his earlier insistence that he was sorry and wanted to make amends, his whole show of trying to be friends, N did not trust him. unsurprising, of course. it seemed like people distrusted him on instinct, always attempting to hide it for the sake of politeness or personal gain.

even still, it was a little disappointing.]

[solveforn]

[N went on ahead, leading them to an area devoid of monsters. It was a small area, after all. There were plenty of trees and barrels, however.]

A barrel might be a good place to hide an egg. And maybe there are eggs hidden by the roots of the trees.

[Simple suggestions. Even if it sounded strange and jilted to normal conversation, it wasn't too different than what he would say to his Pokemon.]

[uwawa]

Uwa, so we should look there first, right? [ half stumbling towards one of the barrels close by. And try to pry it open. ]

[lavenderglasses]

[he briefly considers going off to check one of the others, but splitting up, even in an apparently clear area, seemed more risky than it was worth. the only things he'd seen out in these fields were not sentient, and so his eyes wouldn't work on them. with his normal backup plan voided, he took more comfort in trailing after viki and looking the barrel over while she attempted to just pry it open.]

They can't expect us to break it open and not damage any eggs that might be inside... [but there didn't seem to be any easy way to open it otherwise, unless he was missing something...]

[solveforn]

[N looks at a barrel nearby, contemplating. Hmm...

He gives it a firm kick, and it shatters. Ohm Shells, but no egg. He changes course, looking instead at the trees, looking in the branches, the knots of the wood, and the roots.]

[uwawa]

[ she crouches to pick at the shells. ]

...we didn't break an egg, did we?

[lavenderglasses]

...Those are sea shells, not egg shells.

[viki stop being so aderpable.]

[solveforn]

[N climbs up into a tree with surprising ease, as nimble as a child despite his long gangly limbs.]

--I found one.

[And he knows it's one of the eggs they're looking for because in the nest it's the only bright pink egg.]

[uwawa]

Huh? Where's the sea? [ she at least knows they're not by the sea! ]

U-uwa, be careful coming down!

[lavenderglasses]

Someone could easily pick some shells up to put them in a barrel. But it's not like anything really makes sense here, so the point is rather moot anyway...

[he glances up at N upon hearing viki's warning, but adds nothing. if you get up there yourself, you can get down yourself, or get hurt and learn a lesson from it.]

[solveforn]

[You'd probably like to see him take a tumble, huh, Sara? But N hops down easily. It's not a very tall tree.]

Just a few more.

[uwawa]

We can do it, wa! [ feel her enthusiasm and otherwise useless positive traits!! ]

[lavenderglasses]

[he kind of would like to see N fall, ngl, but then he'd have to play concerned and that would just get irritating.]

Let's make it quick, then.

[solveforn]

[N nodded in affirmation, moving to another tree to see if he could find another one in the branches.]

(OOC: Should we skip ahead some?)

[uwawa]

[ ooc: suuure thing. ]

[ she is just going to follow somewhat excitedly. ]

[lavenderglasses]

[he does the same, minus the excitement and the tree-climbing. god who do you think he is, yuuri?]

((ooc: sure! to having found the last of the eggs, then?))
