~♥FORTY♥~

[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 ([personal profile] endgames)]

Whoah! So squiggly line, vertical squiggly line, fish, bird, creepy head guys means thaaat... That means the squiggly lines over there with the cross and the blocky thing are talkin' about... Aah, I get it now.

[Yo, welcome to the treasure chamber. Those traps were a blast to get by, huh? There's a pretty snazzy looking ruby red jewel sitting on a pedestal in the middle of the chamber next to a sarcophagus. There are stone statues lining the walls and there are hieroglyphs everywhere. Pascal has been here for sometime now trying to work out what all the pretty pictures say while rushing around the chamber with a book on hieroglyphs in her hands. She's pretty engrossed in what she's doing, so Masaomi and Shikamaru go completely unnoticed.]

[ And what better small child to utilize than one they both know? Ikki's spotted the pair, anyway, and she'll be running over to say hello, decked out in required costume thanks to the rules of the experiment. Soren's with her, too, which shouldn't be at all surprising. ]

Sifu! Shikamaru! What're you doing? Are you playing the game? Oh oh oh or are you exploring? I've been making a map!

Gangland - Keys, featuring not he who was expected

[personal profile] wildbluevagner 2012-11-29 07:52 pm (UTC)(link)
[Once they leave one establishment, they'll come across a sharply-dressed demon leaning against a lamppost dramatically, as if he were waiting for them.]

Word on the street is there's a pair of guys looking for some keys.

[Of course, while they were in whatever building they were in, they might have gotten the sense that someone was nearby eavedropping on their conversation and very easily could have picked up the sound or smell of the bamf as he teleported out here.]
endgames: (Watch)

[So after what was probably an overly complex method to get past the traps into here, the dynamic duo has finally reached the treasure chamber!

Since their apartment is in this area, Shikamaru ditched his costume for whatever came closest to plainclothes in this era he could find that he felt more comfortable in. While he notes Pascal is in here, he's also unusually focused and only concerned with what they came here for. Rude.]


Don't be hasty in here. If it looks obvious [he eyes that ruby] it's probably booby-trapped.

Ikki --> Shikamaru --> Masaomi

[personal profile] endgames 2012-11-29 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[Shikamaru's is so un-noteworthy it doesn't even get a link.]

--I could've asked you that if you hadn't already explained. At least we have the excuse of living in this area.
endgames: (Quit it)

Kurt --> Shikamaru --> Masaomi

[personal profile] endgames 2012-11-29 09:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[Shikamaru gives the guy one look, then casually turns his attention to fixing the cuffs of his snazzy suit.]

Yeah. We left them in there.
breezing: (+ formal clothes glee.)

[ Have a frown, Shikamaru. That's not at all the happy greeting she was expecting! ...Yeah, that lasts for all of two seconds before she's back to grinning cheerfully. Soren would greet them, but he's overhead and shows no interest in landing. ]

I've already done my area! And the one with all the people in suits and guns and stuff. Actually, that one kinda reminds me of Republic City in a way, you know? Not completely, but a little bit! Maybe 'cause it's more city-like than Luceti normally is. Look look look I have it here!

[ HERE SHIKAMARU HAVE A CRAYON MAP OF THE SHOGUNATE which is actually pretty accurate if you understand Ikki's landmarks which can be people as well as places. There are also a lot of extra flowers. She's started working on the Egypt section now, although the sand is pink in her rendition. ]
endgames: (Think I'll take the last one...)

[They've started on every area but the Ice Age now, so it makes plenty sense to him. He takes a look at her drawing and passes it on to Masaomi.]

That's a good drawing. I think I like your map better.
castbytheglyph: (Can I hold onto expectations)

Pascal --> Shikamaru --> Masaomi

[personal profile] castbytheglyph 2012-11-30 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Pascal is rocking this outfit, sans the bangles and the material running between them. She also managed to pick up this awesome hat that she took a liking too when she went off to research hieroglyphs in the first place. It looks very snazzy, oozes adventure and does nothing to compliment her outfit at all.]

Hey guys, try not to stand there, there or there. And don't touch the statues. Actually, better just tip-toe around everything you see.

[It's hard to see where she's saying not to stand when she's still completely absorbed in the markings on the wall and is just waving to a vague part of the treasure room where something might happen.]
wildbluevagner: (lighten up man)

Kurt --> Shikamaru --> Masaomi

[personal profile] wildbluevagner 2012-11-30 08:01 am (UTC)(link)
[They are clearly snazzily-dressed young men. And that clearly resembles a certain cartoon mouse on that one guy's shoulder. But Kurt steps from the lamppost and strolls towards them with his arms spread out. He still has to try to look as cool as he can.]

Did you now?
endgames: (Dull)

[personal profile] endgames 2012-11-30 02:35 pm (UTC)(link)
--like I said. Anything obvious.

[Which, like the statues, is more than half of what's in here.

Her advice doesn't make a lot of sense without that, no, but Shikamaru's able to pick out the vague tells of the other traps with that minimal direction. He motions to each one, pointing them out more thoroughly for Masaomi and Linda's sakes.]


So the writing on the wall doubles as an instruction manual, Pascal?
endgames: (Whatever)

Re: Kurt --> Shikamaru --> Masaomi

[personal profile] endgames 2012-11-30 02:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[Shikamaru straightens the buttons the cuff and raises his eyes almost lazily, not seeing the need to repeat himself. 'Sup, rocking the best poker face. Apparently it's the cool thing to do here??]

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: (that's interesting)

[personal profile] endgames 2012-12-01 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
[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.]
castbytheglyph: (Today I had lots of laughs)

[personal profile] castbytheglyph 2012-12-01 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Yep and yeppers! Well, kinda anyway. Y'see, if you take a peek over heeere...

[Skipping and twirling to the other side of the room now.]

The squiggly drawings talk about a king guy, like there, it kinda looks like a person sitting down. The determinative swirly thing has something to do with ill will, so either the king guy was bad ooor we're bad for being here.

[Cue more twirling as she returns to where she was.]

Now these cool little doodles talk about the sparkly-shiny over there! If you touch it then you're gonna be the luckiest guy alive! [...] Or you bring down the wrath of the king guy and these statues start trying to kick your butt. I dunno, I'm still working it out.
endgames: (Scowl)

[personal profile] endgames 2012-12-01 07:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Shikamaru crosses his arms and moves over for a look. He's quiet, paying rapt attention to the symbols Pascal pointed out before rapidly scanning the others lining the wall in the rest of the room.]
breezing: (& jinora: say what?)

[personal profile] breezing 2012-12-02 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
[ Thaaat's the face he makes when he's making a joke she doesn't quite get. ]

So whatcha got so far?
