[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. ]

[ HOLD UP A SEC GUYS-- ]

Wait, all of them!?

[ No. That's--that's just wishing a cruel sugar-induced death upon them. ]

There has to be some clue to narrow it down!

[She's not eating anything that was made here!

Cringing, Nui pulls herself away from the trainwreck in front of her, shaking her head like a wet dog.
]

Ehhhh... can't we just go through them with a knife and fork?
chuusai: (hey i work hard pray hard pay dues)

[personal profile] chuusai 2017-06-09 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
Was there anything in the last clue that might tell us which flavor to look for? I can't think of anything, it was all just math.

[ He's also kind of distracted but nothing helps focus like coffee, right? A mocha flavored cupcake might help, and even if it doesn't, it's delicious. ]

I guess, but why?
strawberrypunch: ([Huh] Your head bowed)

[personal profile] strawberrypunch 2017-06-09 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
[He's quite possibly eaten through two by now.]

Don't like cupcakes?
youraffection: (game001)

[personal profile] youraffection 2017-06-09 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
She's right, what if there's something in there we're supposed to find? Other than a stomach ache.

[ Don't eat the clue! ]
eyestitch: (45)

[personal profile] eyestitch 2017-06-10 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, who wants to lose because strawberry shortcake here swallowed a clue?

[She's not waiting around for it to come back. Nui looks around for a napkin and utensils.]

Besides, appearances are important, and I'm not getting frosting everywhere. Not that I have to worry about gaining weight or anything!
strawberrypunch: ([Down] The endless choices)

[personal profile] strawberrypunch 2017-06-11 06:09 am (UTC)(link)
[Now he just looks sad.]

That's a waste of food.

[...Though not sad enough to prevent him from biting through half of the next cupcake.]
chuusai: (hey i am the wisdom of the fallen)

[personal profile] chuusai 2017-06-11 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
You should at least taste them. These are really good, and I don't think whatever we're looking for is too small to get noticed by eating these. Otherwise why put them in something edible?

[ If they wanted them to just cut things open to find the clue, they'd've put it in something less delicious. ]
eyestitch: (48)

[personal profile] eyestitch 2017-06-12 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
[She makes a big show of sighing, then eyes whatever strawberry cakes remain, trying to gauge if it would be worth it to snipe one and see the other guy's reaction.

Not worth it, probably, so she settles for the s'mores flavor, using her thumbs to pull it in half. She pops one half into her mouth.
]

A lot of these have filling...I guess it really is "different insides."

[But who's going to find the most important filling of all?]

[personal profile] youraffection 2017-06-12 05:31 am (UTC)(link)
Fine, fine...

[ He'll taste them.

And it just so happens that Luck is Yosuke's lowest stat.

Which, of course, would mean that as soon as he decides to take the plunge and bite into a cupcake, he bites into a friggin' piece of paper. ]


Blech!

[ He would throw the thing away if he knew better, although it is tempting. ]

What is this!?

[ What was something chocolatey is now something papery. With a disgusted look on his face Yosuke pulls out a folded piece of paper. ]

[It's just as well, mostly he would just be sad if Nui were to do such a thing ):

That said, Tatsuma pauses mid-bite in his surprise.
]

Found it?
eyestitch: (☺ douze)

[personal profile] eyestitch 2017-06-14 05:24 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, yeah, that's totally small enough to cause any problems! [Thanks for not choking, Yosuke.

Using her napkin, Nui plucks the paper from Yosuke's hand with a disgusted expression and unfolds it.
]

That doesn't have any red stuff in it, right? [She squints at the highlighted blanks.] Well, it's something about glasses! Which you might need to read this now. [She turns it around to the group.]
youraffection: (game005)

[personal profile] youraffection 2017-06-15 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ Well, someone had to be the guinea pig... ]

Ugh, yeah...

[ He wipes his mouth with the back of his hand, suddenly not in the mood to even try to finish the rest of that cupcake. ]

Glasses? [ He blinks as she turns the paper around. ] Oh--shit. We're supposed to decode that, huh? And...use the letter that shows up in the red dot? I suck at th--

[ Wait. He squints. ]

...Is that last one "sweatpants"?
eyestitch: (☺ deux)

[personal profile] eyestitch 2017-06-15 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
[She flips it around again--probably fast enough to give the guys some kind of whiplash.]

Clever boy! Sure looks like it. So we've got E, S... poonch?

[Ah, she thinks she's figured out the theme.] This was tailor made for me! [Haha.] Number three's a poncho!
chuusai: (hey this is the proof)

[personal profile] chuusai 2017-06-17 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
[ Huh. It really would've sucked if Yosuke hadn't been paying attention; the clue'd be gone forever. Instead they get to look at a slightly brown, kind of wet sheet. At least the ink didn't smear? ]

Crad... carding... Oh, cardigan! Are they all clothes?
strawberrypunch: ([Surprise] So search in each)

[personal profile] strawberrypunch 2017-06-17 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Blinkblink. He stuffs another cupcake into his mouth before he goes to try to see the paper’s contents for himself, thinking it over as he chews.]

…Cr... Is that cravat? [Is what he finally comes up with once he’s swallowed.]
eyestitch: (☺ huit)

[personal profile] eyestitch 2017-06-17 06:30 am (UTC)(link)
Glasses aren't really clothes; they're more like an accessory! [Nui corrects him unnecessarily. But these hairs need to be split; it's important to get the terminology correct.]

So that means we've got E, T, O, R, W, and one missing...but do we even need to unscramble that last one? One of those letters probably fits way better than all the others~
youraffection: (pic#10142347)

[personal profile] youraffection 2017-06-18 08:36 pm (UTC)(link)
...Doesn't that just spell "WROTE"? What does that have to do with clothes or fashion? Also, who even wears cravats anymore?

[ Asking the important questions. ]
strawberrypunch: ([Surprise] that instant)

[personal profile] strawberrypunch 2017-06-19 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Yosuke...

Swallowing down another cupcake.
]

It's "Towers," right?
chuusai: (hey i am the wisdom of the fallen)

[personal profile] chuusai 2017-06-19 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Towers like the store?

[ He grabs one more cupcake because they might be leaving soon so get them while the getting is good... ]
eyestitch: (☺ douze)

[personal profile] eyestitch 2017-06-21 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yay! You two are thinking just one I'm thinking.

[ICED OUT, YOSUKE. Nui turns back to the Confectionery employees, as if they can answer her question.] It can't be anything else, right? Then let's gooooo!

[...Then, she asks a question that could actually be answered.] Hey, we're kind of in a hurry, so can we get some doggy bags?
youraffection: (game007)

[personal profile] youraffection 2017-06-22 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
[ He almost chokes on the clue and this is what he gets... ]

Dude, forget the cupcakes, let's just go.

[ Okay he's a little salty. ]
strawberrypunch: ([Neutral] You finally murmur)

[personal profile] strawberrypunch 2017-06-23 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
That's a waste of food.

[Don't be like that Yosuke!!

...Though it probably won't take too long to shovel the cupcakes into bags and take off for the next location at least!
