Scavenger Hunt Spin the Bottle-Wheel Valentines Day CHALLENGEEEEE!

[magnetite_plz]

You all didn't think you were getting out of this holiday entirely empty handed, now did you?

There's red, white, and pink heart confetti falling like rain as Nekomata pushes out a ridiculously large gameshow type wheel with a bottle shaped ticker attached at its center. She raises the aviator glasses she's wearing and pulls a few cue cards out of her...actually she doesn't have pockets and it's best not to ask where these came from.

"Lyadies and Gentleman, humies, magi and all creatures alike! It's time for us to play a game mya!" She does her best Vanna White impression as she gestures to the wheel. "You may all have nyoticed the names of Nexus denizens. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to give this wheel a spin and track down whomever it lands on and get a selfie of you two smooching! All selfies delivered to me will be entered into a grand finale drawing. The winner will receive a very special prize everyone in the Nexus is guaranteed to want mya!"

She points into the crowd of the forum. She wants you to participate! Yes, you!

"What are you waiting for mya?!"

[Fun Valentines day shenanigans since I didn't see anything else go up today. Entirely fluffy and for laughs. Feel free to choose your target or have me select at random. I may or may not choose targets based on hilarity. Happy V-Day everyone and accept this loving post from me to all of you~

There's no saying that only one person can be smooched by another, so feel free to double up if you want! Just respect another person's wishes if they say their character doesn't want to be found and lip-molested k?

This is a spontaneous Nexus event that I did not make a sign up for. If you can't get in touch with your target/if you have been selected and for WHATEVER reason do not wish to play or interact with said character, PM me and I will change it discreetly. This is Zero Committment fun time. You may now return to your regularly scheduled smooching ]

"Do you really not know what a photo is? A picture. You know, with a phone?" By now she's tapping her foot-paw impatiently as her eyes watch the wheel whiz around.

She can't help it, movement is something she tends to focus on.

"Hopefully your target has a phone if you don't mya. Otherwise you'll have to borrow mine."

Surprise me.

[gate_crasher]

"It seems I shall need to prevail upon my, ah, target," he concedes. "I have seen only a little of these phones, and do not have one for myself yet."

He, too, watches the wheel spin, although for another reason. "Why a bottle?"

[magnetite_plz]

"Ancient ceremonial mating tradition of humans upon reaching sexual maturity." Nekomata replies, tails swishing form side to side. "They sit in a ritualistic circle and pray to their love dieties while spinning the empty bottle. Whichever person the open end lands on becomes their mate."

Nekomata is not responsible for any wrong assumptions made by listening to her expertise on human history.

"It's pretty silly. But since this place is mmmostly humans, I thought I'd cater to the masses on this one." The wheel slows to a tick and then stops revealing the target to be none other than the Nexus' resident robot lady."

"Blaze it is! Good luck champ, nya!"

[gate_crasher]

"Wait, this is to choose mates?" The surprise and alarm come too late. The wheel is spun, the die is cast, the river is crossed, and... Shade-Seeker doesn't recognize that person. "I... have not met this Blaze. It seems I must go find her? Please pardon me."

[rekindledtitan]

As luck would have it, his target is actually not far off. Some searching will bring him to the armored figure watching with folded arms from beyond the gathering. Or maybe it's not luck, so much as Blaze being drawn to signs of commotion.

"Seems pretty harmless," she's commenting, presumably to the tiny silver machine floating at her side. It answers in a murmur, its single blue optic flicking between members of the crowd, Shade-Seeker included. Blaze herself gives the reptilian guy a friendly nod as he comes their way.

[gate_crasher]

That is fortunate. The Nine must be watching over him. The white-scaled lizard in blue robes approaches, stopping a few arm-lengths away so as to appear less threatening, and raises a hand in greeting. A faint, silver-blue glow limns him and his robes alike, a spell of resistance against cold that protects him from the worst of Reynard's seasonal generosity. There is a rather generous amount of heart-shaped confetti in various colors sticking to his robes. "Greetings. Are you the person called Blaze?"

[rekindledtitan]

The Light and the Nine - possibly in cahoots? More on this later. Once she realizes he really is approaching them, Shade-Seeker gets their attention properly. Blaze tilts her head slightly, more interested by his robes and glow than concerned.

At his question, she gives an easy salute and a cheerful confirmation. "Blaze-37, Guardian of the Last City. Something I can help you with?"

[gate_crasher]

"My name is Shade-Seeker. Ah," he pauses, then, since they seem to be giving titles, he adds, "Knight Crusader and Archmage of the Mages' Guild of Cyrodiil. I was instructed by a peculiar game to seek you, and suspect I owe an explanation before I proceed. If you will indulge me in that?" He is perhaps ridiculously polite.

[rekindledtitan]

Ah, so he's a sort of warlock, which explains the robes. She's perked up a little at his titles: whatever task he needs help with is bound to be good, right? At the least, there should be some interesting conversation ahead.

"A game? Well, you've got me even more curious." She waves him ahead. "Explain away! I'm all ears."

[gate_crasher]

"In this game, it seems that participants consult a wheel of names, and must perform an act of affection--a kiss--upon the person named by the wheel." He's trying to gauge her reaction, but that is a difficult expression to read. "For my turn, your name was selected."
