[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)]

Fantastic my ass... [Shikamaru slowly disengages his jutsu, satisfied that any immediate threat has been handled.] Hopefully that's the last thing we have to deal with. Didn't you see all the traps you set off?

[generalflirt]

[that's a good question, and he'd follow up on it, but right now he needs to go and praise Linda, who is running back to them proudly]

[wise_maiden]

Hm? Sometimes one must engage in risks while breaking through to new discovery. [...No, she didn't.]

[endgames]

There's more people coming through here than just you. If not for yourself, you should be more cautious for them.

[generalflirt]

Wow though, you're really into this, aren't you?

[wise_maiden]

Following a more conventional method may lead to less results, but it's something to keep in mind for those explorers who aren't experienced...

[What Masaomi is saying is far more interesting, so she'll quickly turn to smile at him instead-] Quick Masaomi. During what period of Earth's history were these pyramids formed?!

[endgames]

[Wow this isn't a classroom.]

[generalflirt]

A...h? The ancient one? Like, in Egypt?

[History is his worst subject, but this seems obvious...]

[wise_maiden]

Yes, the ones from Egypt!

[Sorry Shikamaru.]

[endgames]

[The question is directed at Masaomi and he calls himself exempt from any turn in this conversation by rule of not being from Earth.

He looks decidedly unimpressed and slips off to disable any other traps in here, giving Linda a thumbs up for her good work on his way.]

[generalflirt]

A...Haha. And I'm not sure that's relevant, but maybe I could help?

[Sheepishly. You go, Shikamaru]

[wise_maiden]

This is a pop quiz! Take your best guess! [Who knows, there may be another snake or two laying around.]

[endgames]

[There's not, but there's other scorpions and so on. He takes those out and moves to dismantling the hidden arrow shooter. And possibly kills some other living traps like rats with said arrow shooter.

CASUAL AS HELL.]

[generalflirt]

Okay, so what's the question?

[wise_maiden]

What is the name of the largest pyramid known to earth and what is it's significance?

[generalflirt]

That's probably that one in Egypt, right? Isn't that the one with King Tut?

[wise_maiden]

Yes, it's in Egypt, but your guess is incorrect. The largest known Temple is in Giza, and it's known for being one of the only surviving wonders of the ancient world.

[generalflirt]

And what were the other six?
