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!

originallutece: no, please, touch the boiling beaker, it'll be fine (talk; doing science work)

Just do as I say, beginning with holding these.

[Two vials, one a worrying red, the other a clear liquid. They're both unnaturally warm to hold, but it shan't burn him. The smell is pretty gross, though.]

The list was numbered by what we can potentially fake. I can act as hard-won friend or what have you easily enough.
callada: (se siente bien estar aquí)

[personal profile] callada 2019-09-30 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
I see.

[No harm in that, really. It's just a silly scavenger hunt, and for all his positive traits, honesty has never actually been one of them, especially when there's something to be gained with a harmless fabrication. He sets his lantern down to take the vials.]

Well, the ones I suggested are good enough, and true enough too. I'm not desperate to go after every single item. What are these?
originallutece: my first and only love (talk; mmm science)

Concentrated formaldehyde is the clear one. The red is a failed prototype, but I can still learn from my failures.

[A beat, and then, vaguely:]

I'm attempting to make artificial blood.
callada: (lurk moar)

[personal profile] callada 2019-10-03 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
[Concentrated what now? It sure does stink, and he keeps it well away from his face on account of that.]

Artificial blood, huh. Useful if you run out of donors, I guess. It's a shame that's something we have to consider here.

[He's certain they'll be attacked again. If not by forest spirits, then by something else they don't even know about yet, for he's under no illusion that with the recent announcements they now know all the possible threats to their existence. Maybe blood donation is something they should be doing. Maybe Ms. Lutece is already arranging that and he just hasn't heard about it, in fact.]
originallutece: would be what they'd call this emotion if i was 12 (happy; delightfully impudent)

[personal profile] originallutece 2019-10-06 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
A fascinating subject material, though. I make an effort to prove the impossible possible. And given the necessity . . . I'm quite enjoying myself, I have to say.
callada: (se siente bien estar aquí)

[personal profile] callada 2019-10-08 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
So it's just for fun?

[Which isn't meant to be dismissive. He appreciates curiosity. Never thought anyone would get curious about making artificial blood for their own entertainment, but hell. The medically-inclined are strange people.]
originallutece: my first and only love (talk; mmm science)

[personal profile] originallutece 2019-10-09 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
More or less, yes. Less entertainment and more . . . hm. It's pleasant to have something to do. It's been months since I've had a proper goal, potential escape aside.
callada: (dress best in boldly-striped sweaters)

[personal profile] callada 2019-10-10 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
Ahh. Yeah, I understand that. But you've been working on escape ideas too? Like what?
originallutece: but no it's Objectified Scotsman VI: Return of the Kilt (talk; you'd think it's a science book)

[personal profile] originallutece 2019-10-13 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hm.]

How much do you know about quantum physics?
callada: (this is definitely going in my writeup)

[personal profile] callada 2019-10-14 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
[He takes about a second to mull it over, as if there's any way the answer could ever possibly be something other than "nothing".]

I learned some very basic physics once. Don't know what a quantum is.
originallutece: just kidding i'd kill the first student who mouthed off (talk; lecturing like im a professor)

[personal profile] originallutece 2019-10-18 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
Then for your sake, I'll just say that I'm building a doorway. One that can lead out of this universe and into another.
callada: (honestly the shock of it all)

[personal profile] callada 2019-10-18 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[Whoa, whoa, what?]

That's... Have you done that before?

[Is that how they got here, someone did something quantum or other? Individual people can wield that sort of power?

That strikes him as deeply unsafe in the wrong hands, and questionably responsible here. But also? Awesome. In the truest sense of the word.]
