[Action]
[Shikamaru and Masaomi have tag-teamed to procure the items. Their quest begins later on, as they allowed for a number of days for preparation and quietly looking around/enjoying the sights before then.

At Shikamaru's suggestion, the first days of the scavenger hunt are spent in observation rather than gathering items. CJ let it drop there was a five day allotment and that they had to keep the items the entire time; waiting just seemed smart.

So they get started on the second to last day. At the Space Opera they have some Tang and trade something that is distinctly not Tang for some ray guns. For the robot, they found something even more effective than an off switch. Who knew flights of stairs would be so deadly?

From there they swipe a jetpack and head to the Shogunate. Neither one of them are manly enough to take on a samurai in pitched combat, so they resort the theft. Or rather Hidan does. While the angry samurai are off looking for him, they'll meet and greet some kappa. Masaomi uses the powers of meta to get the water from their heads.

In Gangland, they dress up some energy drinks as booze in exchange for the tommy guns. While the gangsters there are distracted by that, Linda uses the powers of attraction to get some studebaker keys.

At The Nile, having caught on to the priest's weakness to cute things, they take advantage of small children for the daggers. They face the traps for the treasure with the powers of Rube Goldberg.

The Ice Age is last. Their grand plan to defeat a smilodon?? ...feed it. The cavemen going to war, meanwhile, are happy to exchange their bone spears for the retractable spears Hidan Shikamaru has for them. With little time left until the scavenger hunt ends, the rest is a popcorn fest.

Threads for seeing them pull off any of these ten capers or being involved in them are first-come, first-serve (put the item in the subject head or body of the reply if you want) but if you want to just encounter them in the periods between any of them in any zone or after they complete them all, hanging out somewhere... maybe even run into them while lost in C1 if they're at their apartment, those are unlimited. As this is a joint post, all replies will be from Masaomi and Shikamaru (endgames)]

...Is that a blonde giant?

[He points at some person on the map, questioningly]

[breezing]

No!! That's Rapunzel at the bakery!

[ OBVIOUSLY. Geeze, Sifu! ]

Anyway, are you two exploring? Or are you doing the game-thing the Malnosso are running? [ Several of her family members are doing it, too. ]

[endgames]

[He'll let Masaomi field this one as he looks over the balcony they're standing on. There's no traps in the palace to watch out for, thankfully, they just need to spot a priest.]

[generalflirt]

We're something of gamers, Ikki, so obviously, it's a game that we're after. [with a little finger wiggle, rocking from one leg to the other.

...Rapunzel, really]

[breezing]

[ Thaaat's the face he makes when he's making a joke she doesn't quite get. ]

So whatcha got so far?

[endgames]

Everything but what's left here and that Ice Land place.

[generalflirt]

Yeah, and so not looking forward to the Ice place, you know.

[breezing]

It's not that bad. Kinda reminds me of the South Pole?

[ She's been there with her grandpa, at least. ]

[endgames]

Mark that down as another place I don't want to visit. [Casually. Stupid cold weather. But oh hey, there's a priest down there after all.] Say, Ikki. Wanna help us with something?

[generalflirt]

We promise it won't involve your death.

[He's just being irreverent here. On purpose]

[breezing]

[ Masaomi gets side-eyed for that in a why would it? kind of way - she honestly didn't even consider that anything Shikamaru or Masaomi would ask her to do would end with that - but Ikki nods cheerfully. ] Sure!!

[ ...Oh, she should probably ask what, though. ] What d'you need help with?

[endgames]

[Shikamaru jerks a thumb over his shoulder, past the balcony.]

We need to get one of those daggers CJ says those priests carry. And I'm betting... [with a small grin that isn't even forced] he might just hand it over if someone like you asked nicely.

[generalflirt]

Be sure to introduce yourself as Morgiana, though.

[breezing]

...Why can't I just introduce myself as myself?

[ Who's Morgiana, anyway? ]

[endgames]

...don't feel like you have to listen to him. He's been making up weird names all day.

[generalflirt]

Don't be like that, Alibaba!

[breezing]

[ Where is he getting these from. ] ...Well, 'kay! So I just go ask, right?

[ Because she can totally skip off to do that right now. Priest beware! ]

[endgames]

[And then they both ignored Masaomi.]

Yeah. I'll walk you down. We should be able to catch him before he gets too far ahead.

[generalflirt]

[wow you guys are so rude]

[breezing]

[ they are the rudest. ]

Okay!! [ She's raring to go and is already five feet away. Better keep up! ]

[endgames]

[THIS IS WHY THEY MAKE GENIN CHASE CATS, DON'T YOU KNOW. He keeps up, brisk but leisurely.

These people seem to be programmed a lot like the ones at the Battle Dome: which is to say not a lot of them have a wide range of personalities. Shikamaru's thought of several scenarios, however.]

I think he'll give it to you without much of a fight, but he'll probably still ask why you want it. You can tell him it's a present for someone.

[generalflirt]

We need two, bro.

[Said Masaomi, following behind them, still very sulky about how rude they are]

[breezing]

Do you think he'll have two? Or do we need to find another one after this?

[ Oh, and while she's not protesting helping, since she wants to do that ] Did you two try asking?

[endgames]

[wow he knows that]

They only carry one at a time, so we'll have to find another. Judging by what I've observed, you have better chances than either of us.

[generalflirt]

[... Wow okay whatever. And he just sort of rolls his eyes, smiling]
