EVENT LOG:
GATHER UP

characters: everyone.
location: beacon at large.
date/time: september 16-25.
content: a town-wide selfie scavenger hunt!
warnings: unflattering camera angles.

🔎📸😘

It starts with a network post, and then a song begins to play in the Invincible, loud enough to be heard throughout Bonfire Square. Welcome to the scavenger hunt, everyone! You've been tasked with finding 25 "items" in and around Beacon, so hop to it!

Please remember to ICly report your findings on Robin's network post if you want them to count toward a prize! As a further reminder, you're free to interpret the list items however you/your character would like, and you're free to assume your character can find all of these things somewhere in town without running into trouble! Just don't stray too far from town to go gallivanting off into the wilderness, as that might be dangerous. This includes finding forest spirits! You're welcome to NPC your own forest spirit encounters, just like in our last event.

That said, if you would like to search a particular area for a fun surprise, let us know below!

Will you pass a message along for me to this mystery person?

( ambrose doesn't pose because he doesn't want the shot to look staged or silly but he does smile. )

And tell him or her that they should give me a call because I would love to have a chat with them.

( since there's no warning the picture is about to happen, Matt is not at all posing for it. it's fine, there's no requirement for him to look camera ready, just for him to be in it. )

All right, deal. Seems more than fair, all things considered.

( and it might embolden Grizz to talk to Ambrose on his own, and cut out the blind middleman. Matt figures that's for the best, anyway. )

But, and forgive the question but sometimes I just can't help myself, are you saying you don't think I'm beautiful?

( he's gonna put you on the spot, matt. )

( hey, at least he has a really good excuse to fall back on. )

I wish I could tell. It's hard for me to know without getting pretty up close and personal, and there's no good way to ask someone if you can touch their face.

( due to his bat sonar he has a sense of the fact Ambrose is good looking, yes, though he can't just admit to that!!! truthfully, Matt does wish he could see for himself. he just has to live with the fact he can't. )

Do you want to touch my face?

( sure, that's different and kind of strange but it's also not the strangest thing he's ever heard. )

As long as you don't poke my eyes out, I'm all right with it. Touch away.

Usually I need a couple of whiskeys before I get bold enough to touch faces.

( he won't lie, he's done it. Matt can sense a lot but just not enough. even feeling features isn't quite enough, though when he's tipsy sometimes he likes to try. it's never going to tell him about freckles or the exact shade someone turns when they're blushing, but it's ... something. )

So, we'll save that for when I've been able to get you to sit down for some drinks with me and this mysterious stranger who thinks I'm handsome.

( then, everyone can touch his face. )

It'll give me something to look forward to.

( Ambrose please you are too familiar with your face!!! Matt laughs, at the very least. )

If you ever find him out, I'll take you up on it.

( though he'll probably duck out early so his third wheel status doesn't slow down anything date-like. what a wingman!! )

Oh, I will find him. When I put my mind to something, I always succeed.

( was that the truth? maaaaybe. but, in this, he was determined. )

So, along with the karaoke we still have to do, this is going to be on the future agenda too. It'll be fun.

( so many fun date nights planned! this bromance is off to a flying start. )

I'm waiting for the karaoke machine to show up on the ferry. It has to happen one of these days.

And I will be there to greet every single ferry arrival to check on that.

( or maybe he'd just try and magically create one. that might be cheating though. )

But you're right. It has to happen one day unless the ferry stops coming.

( or worse. )

( foreshadowing... maybe Crowley didn't crash the ferry after all, maybe it was karma because Ambrose said that without knocking on wood! )

Obviously. Karaoke machines are a very high priority.

( this is said with a laugh, indicating Matt really doesn't actually believe this is true. )

As they should be! We're dead, aren't we owed a little fun?

( they'd already gone through one of the worst things ever, they deserved a little happiness and silliness, right?

even you, broody matt. )

It wouldn't hurt to have some brightness around here.

( even for him, broody blind batman. which is why if it shows up, he'd give it a go. he's already picked their duet. are you ready to go back to the 80s with Having the Time of my Life? they can rock-paper-scissors on who is going to be Baby. )

And hopefully we can convince this mystery third person to join in as well. The more the merrier.

( ambrose really wants to know who he is, okay. )

You've made my day, you know. It's a little hard to do that here so I appreciate this ego boost you've given me.

These things don't tend to stay secret for long.

( Matt is pretty sure Grizz should get to admit it on his own time, when he's ready. it's been a long time since Matt has had a schoolboy crush but he remembers well enough what they were like. not something you'd want someone else squealing on. )

You're welcome. And I appreciate the help with the hunt. If you need any help with your list, let me know, I'd be happy to help if I can.

I haven't looked at it too thoroughly, if I'm honest.

( he'd found a few things here and there but he really needed to get going if he wanted any sort of prize at the end. )

Oh, what about number three? Someone who's helped you. You've helped me find a karaoke partner. Let me grab that one and then I'll send you on your way?

( Matt isn't really doing it for a prize, he's doing it to help cheer up Grizz. it hasn't exactly been intolerable, thought — so he's happy to help others with a picture if he can.

except for the taking it part, Ambrose is on his own for that one. )

Be sure to get my good side. ( which means yes, he'll allow it. turnabout is fair play on scavenger hunt selfies. )

Oh, that's all your sides so don't worry.

( you were an attractive fellow, matt. ambrose does his best to find a good angle and then takes a few snaps before chuckling. )

And now I can cross that one off my list.

( another tip to his ego that Matt doesn't even remotely need. thanks, Ambrose... he's gonna fractionally more insufferable, thanks to you!!!! he smiles anyway. )

Happy to help. Good luck with the rest of your list.

( he's gonna have to go show Grizz this picture now... no snooping, Ambrose! )
