[OPEN] RECOLLÉ TREASURE HUNT
WHO: Everybody
WHERE: All around the city
WHEN: Sunday, June 4
WHAT: It's time to go treasure hunting!
WARNINGS: None
Four in One,
under eternal rainfall,
a ReVA event coordinator makes Five,
with clue #1 for you all.
Either by solving the above riddle, hearing the answer through the grapevine, or simply following the trickle of people gathering at the center of Recollé Square this early Sunday morning, one finds Ryoji circling the Founders fountain with a box tucked under his arm and a ready greeting for anybody that approaches him to get started on their hunt. To each team, he hands over a blank sticker and their choice of marker in any of the colors of the rainbow— red, orange, yellow, grey, grey, purple— to write down their name and their team name, along with a small white pin reading "TH 2017 Participant" in bold red. Both the name tag and the pin must be affixed somewhere visible on the front of each member's shirt before he hands over their clue.
Have fun, play hard, get on out of here and find that treasure!
----
[ notes: IC, the above can be hand-waved, with top-levels in this post starting from when Ryoji hands your team the first clue. OOC, all clues will be distributed on the ooc/sign-ups post, and any questions can be directed there as well. ]

Clues should be solvable with a little thinking and referencing the locations page, but if something looks impossible, please contact me ASAP in case I made a mistake somewhere.

Call/text Ryoji if you're having trouble with a clue, but want only hints instead of an outright answer! There are also opportunities to talk to him in person throughout the day in his top-level below.
OTA
[ Ryoji's been at the fountain since five in the morning, head back against the cold stone and letting the sound of running water— eternal rainfall— fill his head and drown out his thoughts as he waits and watches for the sunrise.
Once in a while, something around him flickers, almost like light, and the spray of water seems to stop before it can reach him, but Ryoji doesn't react. Quiet, pensive, not expecting anybody to show up until around 8 o'clock when the treasure hunt is supposed to start, he seems hardly aware of anybody that approaches until they step right in front of him.
While seemingly distracted, he is sitting on that box of clues, though, so don't think you can steal one and get a head's start. Regardless, he's here for anybody who wants to chat a bit about absolutely anything, or they want him to walk them through the sample clue. ]
B. 8:00-12:00
[ If you really want to thread out receiving the first clue, and/or maybe discuss it with Ryoji in person instead of text if you need any help, he'll be hanging around the fountain until noon. ]
C. 12:00-
[ After noon, he's relieved of his post by another ReVA volunteer, and can be found anywhere around town to be called over to help with any of the clues, or maybe just chat while your team's taking a break. He isn't hard to spot, very unsuccessfully trying to sneak quietly around without being seen... Being a ninja is hard? He has no idea what he's doing, back pressed against building walls, head peeking out from around corners, dying in the bad idea that is a black shirt and pants on a sunny day. ]
A little before 8AM
Did his eyes play a trick on him...? Part of him wants to say yes, but after the things he's started to see...]
...Hey.
[Is what he finally says in greeting as he continues to walk like he hadn't noticed anything whatsoever, like he isn't being particularly observant (he is).]
Going to be a ninja, right?

B, including a third person
It'd be easier to explain why she brought a friend, antisocial and prickly as she was. She wanted to invite Freya to something for once, instead of the other way around; her roommates did that a lot, she should return the favor, someday. Not doing so made her feel a bit guilty, but Lucy was also at a loss as to what to even suggest. This seemed...okay, hopefully?
Bickering with her roommate over petty things like names aside.
Walking to the fountain was largely uneventful; Lucy didn't trip (more than once, and she kept glancing back over her shoulder to see if Freya was still there every so often.]

...
he just hands over the pin nicely though because he's not insane, and pins his own carefully before he flips open the first clue. he is for the record in jeans and a long-sleeved shirt despite the heat, although at least the shades look less dumb these days with summer. ]
Oooh, bad poetry, my favorite.
[ "sweet spring and summer
off the tree,
steep and spread
for eterni t"
he reads it off, though dirk can just. look over his shoulder. ]
So anyway I guess I'll let you buy me a drink?? [ has he had anything else to eat today, PROBABLY NOT. ]
no subject
I'll buy you a drink, and a snack while we're in that direction. Have you had breakfast, Bro?

[Minako tilts her head at the clue.]
NaCl is sodium, right? What's the last bit, though? It kind of just looks like it's the alphabet, starting with H.

[ Yosuke's been here a couple of times, but he's not really a "sweets" kind of guy. Unless Minako is making the especially for him. Then he can't say "no", but that might be an entirely different issue, really. Either way, it's a familiar enough place that he's immediately on the lookout for anything out of place as soon as they arrived.
And it...yep, sure looks like Confectionary. ]
Okay, so...we're here.
[ He crosses his arms. ]

It looks like a map.
["it used to be colored, sorry! the dark grey is blue, and light grey is green... or what used to be blue and green."
That's a great observation and all, but a map to where, exactly? What's with the stars?]

CLUE 1
[Introductions: done. Clue: gotten. Nametag: kind of falling off. Chibi's not sure it'll last the day.]
[Regardless, he doesn't even have to look at the clue for three seconds to know what it is. Instead, he just sets it on the little table in front of them and rummages in his man-bag
excuse me, his #everydaycarry bagfor a moment.]Ah, a cipher! [GETS HIS NOTEBOOK OUT... and starts scratching the letters into it.] That was one of my first projects way back in undergrad, was finding out an algorithm to make solving rotation ciphers easier. If this is a rotation cipher, at least - it might not be, but we'll just have to see.

Team Decadent Tarts
Clue 1
[Catherine slightly disappointed. On reflection she had to admit that it had its advantages; you couldn't misinterpret this the way you could a riddle, or choose the wrong method the way you might a cypher. But it did feel just a little... lacking in mystery, when it was the same kind of puzzle you could find in your daily. If you still got paper dailies.
Yeah there was just no pleasing her.
She waved the puzzle at her partner.]
