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!

[Jason was not sure how to react at first. Spirits and a crab running an ice-cream stand with questionable flavors were one thing, a very tall robot was another entirely. Belatedly he realized he was staring and not responding. He blinked once and then returned the smile. That was polite at least, right?]

Sweet is fine...I mean it's ice cream. [Wait...did he say savory?] I don't think we had flavors quite like that back home...

[sunborne]

Same here! [ if daylight's noticed jason's reaction before his reply, he doesn't let it show. or maybe he's always this peppy and cheerful if clueless ] Some of the flavours are really interesting; it seems like the ice cream vendor made the stuff themselves.

[ he turns to the ice cream vendor after he speaks, giving them a nod to show his respect to them and their diligent ice cream making way.

but- right! back to the question at hand: ]

I would suggest the Matcha and Flower, Seasame, Honey flavours! [ he gestures to the ice creams in question as he speaks, daylight's winglets wriggling up and down from genuine pleasure of chatting with someone new. ] They're the most conventional sweet ones Coraline and I tasted when we explored here for the first time.

[notthatjason]

Oh. [He looks over at the vendor again. He supposed he should have guessed that, but it still came as a surprise. A pleasant one, at any rate. The spirits were certainly a creative bunch.] That's pretty cool...especially since you've made it into your own business.

[Jason considers the flavors mentioned.] I guess conventional would be safest...but did you have a flavor you preferred?

[It's a nicer question than asking something like 'Robots can taste ice cream?']

[sunborne]

I do, actually! It's this one, here.

[ daylight points to one of the ice cream flavours that's proudly on display: it reads... it reads something along the lines of 'edible(!!!) dirt.' yes, really. there is an ice cream flavour that's labelled as edible dirt here in the village.

okay then.

well- at least daylight has enough self-awareness to realise how strange his answer might be to others, judging by the sheepish look he gives as he continues to speak, ] I know, I know- It's, like, weird. I swear it's really good! Earthy but smooth is the best way I would describe it. It kind of reminds me of a blend I used to have back with my friends.

[Jason raises an eyebrow, but considering he spent a long time with a satyr who popped soda cans like they were popcorn he couldn't really be too surprised by flavors like that...or someone enjoying them for that matter.]

I think I'll go with the Honey flavor. [An idea occurs to him and he turns back to the vendor. He knows something of what it's like to be apart from your friends.] Can I get a scoop of the Honey and a scoop of the...Edible Dirt for my new friend here?

[He notices the vendor bob its head back into the shadows of the stand and start to prepare the scoops, which is kind of impressive to see given the claws. In case Daylight plans to protest he looks up at him.]

Thanks for the insight, I hope you don't mind me getting you one too.
