[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)]

Uh huh? [He says this lightly, not looking away from this scene. He's disappointed really :C ]

[endgames]

Their bite looks impressive, but they don't use it at all in the hunt. They don't open their mouths wide when they roar, and only use their canines to cut he jugular after the prey is caught.

[The smilodon sniffs the meat, looking thin and scrawny, but the saberteeth are clear and obvious even from here.]

They only seem to use them otherwise for chewing, and they're wasteful eaters. This would imply that really...

[The little tiger bites into the meat. Unfortunately, it's not a normal slab and is instead filled with thick bone. There's a crunch, and both canines break off.]

...their teeth are quite fragile. Especially in the malnourished ones.

[generalflirt]

Oh.

[...Wow, that's actually a pretty neat deduction all around. But isn't that thing going to be pissed now? He can't help but be impressed, regardless]

[endgames]

[It is, but it can't see them and it's pain distracts it. It snarls in it's agony and pulls back, nearly retreating... but it's so hungry that in the end it goes back.

It makes irritated sounds as it eats, going about it carefully each time, but it seems set on eating the whole thing immediately, chewing as close down to the metal bits as it can get. It won't take long to finish, and when it's done it will leave pieces of broken teeth (there's a few other fractured pieces besides the canines) behind.]

[generalflirt]

Man, if it wasn't fake an a vicious carnivore, I'd almost feel bad for it...

[He laughs this out as he watches the thing eat. Seriously]

[endgames]

It wouldn't live long like that anyways. I'd give it a month, if this were real.

[generalflirt]

Ooooh, fair enough. [He nods] So one each there, we're set?

[endgames]

Mhmm. [He looks around, making sure nothing else is coming.] Let's grab them quickly and move on.

[He jumps off the edge of this cave without another word about that.]

[generalflirt]

[Shrug. Oh well, he follows suit. Let's rock, boss.]
