[OPEN] RECOLLÉ TREASURE HUNT

[appraiser]

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. ]

[ A SECOND PACKET OF KETCHUP ] Not 'till we solve this, dude. Onwards to the bars.

[ WHERE HE WILL GET peanuts? or pretzels? or well maybe an apple drink at luke's, non-alcoholic. ]

[splinten]

[Dirk orders an orange juice at Luke's? ORDER AJ TO MATCH YOUR BROTHEr, DAVE]

[parodeity]

[ he got an aj but this still means not a lot of food?? ]

...Okay, we're clearly on the wrong track here. Uh...Union Grocery does teas and preserves, don't they?

[splinten]

Yeah, products with longevity. [Perhaps THAT is the eterni T???] We might as well. [Dave could eat there too]

[parodeity]

I like the jam there. [ .....................

is he suggesting he will just get 1 jar of jam. MAYBE. ]

[splinten]

[...] It's best served on bread or somethin'.

[He is walking there now but also. God. Why.]

[parodeity]

If there's a clue there you can buy shit to make me a sandwich. [ ... ] Or I guess we can go to an actual sit down place maybe.

[splinten]

Please I would love that.

[HE HAS BEEN TROLLED THIS ENTIRE TIME HE JUST WANTS TO FEED HIS BROTHER]

[parodeity]

Where would you even wanna eat??

[ since they're basically still in the dining district.

ALSO THAT ISN'T THE POINT OF THE GAME, DIRK ]

[splinten]

Wherever you are willin' to eat. [But!!] I'd prefer healthy meats and a good helpin' of vegetables.

[...Dirk is Not overbearing.



Yes he is, he is and for all of his delinquent habits their Mom knew that if she left Dirk in charge of the well-being of his siblings, he would completely throw himself into making sure they had quality care]

[parodeity]

[ dave makes a face. ]

That sounds expensive??

[splinten]

A cost made up for by the fact that you barely let me feed you these days.

[parodeity]

You say like I - [ ...

wait. he did used to do that, all the time. he also constantly bugged dirk to feed him ice cream and coffee and other unhealthy shit, which dirk probably might even miss at this point, and. yeah. ]

- well, it's still super expensive to eat at a place like that??

[splinten]

If this is my one shot to feed you well for the next few months, I'm not doing it halfway.

Alternatively, you could agree to let me feed you once a week. Either at my place, or with food I cooked there and then bring to you. [Thereby guaranteeing Dave is fed healthy but less expensive.]

[parodeity]

...Did you just suggest we have a weekly fraternal date night?

[splinten]

...Is that ok.

[parodeity]

...Is that different from trainin' time or not?

[splinten]

Training time is for taking care of our newfound need to be fragile speedster swordsmen. [At least THIS Dirk knows he isn't a tank. ...For now.]

The dinner thing would just be... you know. Time to hang and make sure you eat well and shit.

[parodeity]

[ he honestly hasn't even regularized training time yet. ]

For like...how long? When?

[ eyeing dirk with a vague sense of ??? so it's not like he's saying no? ]

[splinten]

What... kind of thing would work? [Guys look for the clue? or don't] You're the one with the busy schedule.

[parodeity]

My schedule is variable.

[ he has time travel. he can make whatever work. what is dirk offering??????

NO THE CLUE IS LESS IMPORTANT THAN THIS CONVERSATION, APPARENTLY. dave is staring very intensely at dirk and has probably stopped walking. ]

What do you want?

[splinten]

[Well. So much for the clue hunt. Dirk is answering this stare with the nerves of someone afraid they're about to say the wrong thing.]

I want... At least a couple hours a week where I know I can make sure you're fed and spend time with you. Your schedule varies, so... you can pick the hours every week? Like... at the beginning of every week, you can tell me which hours you can give me.

[No he didn't interpret this as 'Dave has time travel and can make it work' he interpreted it as 'Dave has too many things and can't set aside time.']

[parodeity]

[ well he. halfway said the wrong thing?? but halfway said the right thing. for a given value of either. ]

I don't want that. [ ...UH. SHIT. ] The. Changing it every week. [ it is an actual effort to clearly state what he wants, but he still does try. ] ...I wouldn't mind a regular thing.

[ continued staring like this. will help dirk's nerves at all.

he fidgets. ]

[splinten]

[...]

You said your schedule varies? Is there... a time that doesn't vary, that I could have?

[Fucking idiots. Dirk is being very still.]

[parodeity]

I said it's variable. I can loop around whatever the fuck doesn't work to do whatever you want.

[ ...an hour backwards can work in his favor, okay. ]
