EVENT LOG: GATHER UP

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!

Oh, oh, you found him! I was so worried! Matt, Matt, you're amazing!
[Give her a second, she'll notice that he's not exactly looking, uh, great.]
no subject
He was finding himself a snack in the store. ( Matt and rats in stores. that sounds like the title of a children's book, only it's terrible. ) Mary, he hasn't hurt you, has he? He doesn't seem to care for people.
no subject
[She stares lovingly into the box, like it isn't housing a horrific affront to nature.]
He doesn't like to cuddle, but it's okay. We have an understanding, so he won't try to eat me.
no subject
( there'd been some gnawing going on, though not so bad that he is particularly worried about it. he sits down, though, to catch his breath. )
I wish you to have a pet you could cuddle, Mary. ( and one that liked her more than just not trying to eat her. Mary, stop him before he starts being sad about a little girl trapped in a world of darkness with only a multiheaded rat pet, please!! )
no subject
I do, too. I want some that will love me forever and ever, and never want to run away.
no subject
If you could have any pet in the world, what would you have? ( let's try that. maybe it'll be a hair less horribly depressing!!! )
no subject
Any at all? I think...a mother, or a little girl who's as small as I am!
[Her definition of "pet" may be a bit off, here, but she decides this so eagerly!]
But if I can't have those, I think a kitty.
no subject
Didn't you have a mother back home? ( for his part, despite all his sad orphan problems, Matt has never wanted replacement parents. then again, he was pretty fucking metal as a kid, most kids were a touch more forgiving. )
A kitty, huh? There used to be a cat I liked outside the orphanage. He was about as friendly as his majesty over there, but I got to pet him a couple times.
no subject
[As he talks about the cat, though, she leans back a little and finally seems to notice something amiss.]
Did he do that? Matt! Animals are so mean to you, aren't they?
no subject
I lost my family when I was about your age. It was lonely, but family doesn’t have to be someone you’re related to. Just remember that. ( they may be sad orphans but look someone could very well love them one day!!! probably not him he’s like twenty odd years too old for adopting but the point still stands!!!
Matt shrugs at the mention animals didn’t like him. Matt thinks he gets along okay with most animals, hell he really worked for the love of that alley cat, but there’s one thing that’s for sure. ) The rat king sure doesn’t.
no subject
[But...a part of her still wishes she had a real mother, even though, ultimately, it shouldn't matter. She just wants to be like everyone else.]
I'm sorry you were lonely. And I'm sorry that my rat friend was mean to you. Do you need a bandage?
no subject
( he means that; Wanda had helped him without knowing him even remotely, and that she'd open her heart to a little girl alone in such a dark, depressing place? it is about 1000 brownie points for Wanda. )
I think I'll be okay. ( he's just bleeding. it's fine. he distracts with a joke. ) The shirt, maybe not.
