EVENT: SCAVENGER HUNT
It's that time! The riddles are up and your characters can get to ICly figuring them out and bringing in the items. Regardless of whether your character "won" a question or not, or whether you even submitted an answer, or even if you submitted a wrong one -- you can have your characters figure out or not figure out whatever you want in the log. The wins only count for who figures it out first.
Found items should be brought to the altar in the yard of each Welcome Hall. When one of the "winners" (a.k.a. the first person from each house to guess right) brings an item to an altar, a light in the colour of their house will pop up. It's just a hovering ball of light and any touches will pass through it. After that, there's no effect in bringing the same item to the same altar, but people are welcome to do so as much as they wish. Characters are welcome to keep any of the items they find, or leave them at the altar, in which case they'll disappear.
And now for the correct answers:
ODIN: A crown. Very pretty, sparkly crowns can be found in various places throughout Odin's district -- hanging from trees, sitting on benches, just about anywhere! Some of them are cheap wire and glass beads, but some of them are true gold or silver and jewels. Either counts for the scavenger hunt, but the real ones are worth more if you keep them!
THOR: A plasma lamp/lightning ball. You'll find these plugged in inside a lot of various shops and public buildings in Thor district, with postits saying "free!" stuck to them. No one will complain if you take them, so have at! They're also in all different shapes, sizes, and colours, so feel free to imagine!
LOKI: A vial of snake's venom, similar to that said to drip on the face of the imprisoned Loki in Earth's myths. These can be found lying around Loki district, attached to silver chains (so it can be worn as a necklace). If the vial is opened and the venom is touched, it'll burn the skin like an acid, leaving blisters that'll take a few days to heal. All of the vials contain no more than an ounce of venom, so no one will be finding big bottles!
SIGYN: Golden apples! These will actually be in the form of small potted plants -- tiny bonsai-sized apple trees, even! They'll mostly be found in green areas, beside other full-sized trees. The apples are about grape-sized and golden-skinned but they are edible, and in fact taste like the best apples you've ever eaten! They're seedless too, and new apples will grow about once a week if the tree is kept and watered properly!
HEL: Plastic/rubber bats! They'll be hanging in groups of ten or so from trees or the eaves of buildings, and they'll seem like boring rubber -- until you grab the string that they're hanging from. Once you do that, they'll suddenly "wake up" and start to fly! They're still rubber, but they seem to be alive anyway. Maybe if you can hold onto the string long enough to get it to the altar, it'll decide to stick around as a pet?
HEIMDALL: Golden teeth, a famous trait of the original Norse Heimdall! There are sets of gold teeth (some plastic like a kid's toy, some real "grill" jewelry) just lying here and there in places where they'd catch the sun. There may even be some of those wind-up walking tooth toys! Any quality of "teeth" will apply for the scavenger hunt!
FREYR: A pig (a live one. Really, Allen. You'll make Freyr cry.) His pet pig gullinbursti to be specific, but it isn't a special boar you'll be finding. Instead, there are pigs of all sizes and breeds both possible and impossible (from giant wild boars to tiny potbellies that'll fit in your hand) loose around the district. They'll run if you try to catch them, so good luck herding one to the altar! You could even try riding the big ones if you're a brave soul.
FREYA: A necklace. Specifically Brisinger/Brisingamen, the necklace that, in the original myths, she had to bed several dwarves to obtain and which ended in quite a mess for her! Our Freya hasn't has such an adventure, but the beautiful necklace is still the item for this district. Both fake and real golden necklaces will be found around the necks of various statuary throughout the district.
BALDR: Mistletoe. Plenty of the plant that was this god's demise in the Norse myths has sprouted in Gefion park. Break or cut off a twig and bring it to the altar to win this district's hunt. To make it a worthy prize, a sprig of mistletoe kept can be sold to any NPC-run apothecary for quite a high price, as it normally doesn't grow in the city.
And as for the winners, here's the list of who "won" each question, sorted by house! This means that the characters listed under "ODIN" are members of Odin house. The houses listed with the names are the questions they were awarded. Therefore, Hanbei Takenaka is in Odin house and "won" Baldr's question. We gave some wins for "close enough" answers when no one else in the house got that question right. :) People are listed in chronological order within their house.

NOW! As you can see, not one house "won" every single question. However, since Heimdall House was the closest, they'll be awarded the big prize! Starting on Feb 4, the Welcome Hall will have a big spiral slide inside, next to the elevator shaft! There are openings on every floor, so characters can hop in and slide right down to wherever they want to go! They'll also find a new room on the main floor, containing, wait for it... a giant ball pit with climbable netting on the walls and ceiling! Still, since no one really won and everyone put in a big effort, every single house will have the slides installed. ;) Have fun with those!
In addition everyone who "won" a question will recieve a cute gift certificate for a free child's entree at a chain pizza restaurant that has a location somewhere in each district. Edit for clarification: This certificate will appear on the character's person when they cause the light to come on, so they'll get it immediately! Clearly, this is a very grown-up event!
Now that the "winners" and answers have been announced, let's have fun!Please wait for the mods to get a thread up for each district, then reply and mingle and do whatever you'd like. Threads don't have to stay in the district they start in, so feel free to have whatever kinds of shenanigans you'd like, and thanks for playing!

Now that the "winners" and answers have been announced, let's have fun!
all over the district!! oh, and it's open
and from the way it looks like, he's not running with them. he's running to get away from them. yeah no don't ask what he did. ]
no subject
Sorry dude, he's not helping yet, but he will be watching for now to see just how fast you can run from the pigs.]
no subject
watch him as he zips past you, acknowledging only your presence with by tipping his hat, before he moves on with the pigs hot on his heels. ]
no subject
What the hell did you do to them? Eat their mom?
no subject
I don't even know what I did. [ running -- are you running too, zen. ] I just approached one of them and then they started chasing me.
no subject
Maybe you smell like food!
Climb a tree! [He calls out a little louder, when the distance widens.] Heard that pigs can't climb at all!
no subject
[ goddamn you, you ass.
you know what he's going to do?
he's going to turn at a corner -- and then turn again -- and then again, until he's running back on the same street but with you in front of him and the pigs. ]
no subject
O-oi, what are coming back here for?!
no subject
You better start running too!
no subject
no subject
Shoo! Shoo! [ warding off the pigs -- making them angrier.
brb running faster. and probably overtaking zen. ] Good luck to you!
no subject
To hell if he was going to run away from a bunch of pigs.
Zen turns around to face the herd, growling as he glares them down. That face? Yeah, that face.]
Buzz off, you freaking bastards!
no subject
but dude that is one scary face.
so yes, he'll just hide behind you -- waving goodbye to those pigs. ]
I'm impressed. [ forever clapping!! ] But you know, you just frightened off one of the things we need to find for this scavenger hunt.
no subject
I don't really care about that. I don't even know why we even have one. [Especially after they just faced a dragon issue.] Though I can't complain about ingredients.
aww hell yiss
You now have a tall pink-haired kid running along beside you and laughing.]
This looks like fun! Most people are chasing the pigs, but having a race with them's not too bad either. Though, I guess I shouldn't compete -- you'd all lose!
so sorry this is late sob
he's going to just stare at him (while running, shut up) and wonder what the hell's going on. because lucille is sure as hell he wasn't having fun being chased by pigs who would probably gore and toss him around like a ball once they catch him. ]
Are you sure you shouldn't be competing with them then?
[ he gestures at the pigs behind him. ]
