[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)]

[ 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]

[breezing]

They like girls better than boys?

[ well that's what she notices as being different between them, anyway. ]

[endgames]

And baby animals, and miniature food, and basically anything that isn't us.

[generalflirt]

Well he might like me. [WITH A SMILE... but nah, he just is being a little shit]

[breezing]

[ Well, they should be nearing the priest, anyway. Are they coming or hiding? ]

[endgames]

[Nah, Shikamaru just stands over here and tries to look busy. He keeps an eye on her and watches out for a second priest to target from the corner of his eye.]

[generalflirt]

[Masaomi also hangs back, but he's juggling Linda's pokeball in one hand, absently. Just because]

if no one wants to npc we can handwave confused cute stunned priest? :|a

[breezing]

[ Well, she'll go by herself, then. Soren's taking his cue from Shikamaru and Masaomi, making himself scarce. Ikki will just skip up to the priest casually, since beyond "be herself" she wasn't given much in the way of instructions. ]

Hiya! I'm Ikki! What's your name? [ The priest probably did not expect the chipper greeting, and he might also not be expecting the torrent of words just waiting to be unleashed. ]

Pi told me to NPC him

[generalflirt]

[Well the priest is a busy, busy fellow. After all, managing relations between men and ghosts, appeasing the gods, managing the preparations for people's afterlives... All in all, it's a pretty demanding job, and as such he's very exacting about time! And actually starts to turn to snap some of this at Ikki...


...Until he sees she's small and then his eyes widen]

Well then!

[breezing]

[ She is very small. It comes with being seven. ]

Mister?

[generalflirt]

[....Waaaaaah it's cute. But he coughs and reigns himself in. To ask her what her business is]

[breezing]

Could I possibly have your dagger maybe?
