[.:Random Event 2:.]

AQUATIC EGG RETRIEVAL (FOR POINTS AND FUN)

The treasure hollowheart snorted as the wind off the ocean blew sand into his face. Clearly annoyed the sparkly creature set about cleaning his face his owner chucking softly to himself.

The boy wasn’t dressed like most boys would be if they were at the beach, no today he was wearing his school uniform, blue blazer white slacks and black dress does. Blue eyes and blonde, perfectly parted hair; he looked almost like Richie Rich or a politician made pocket size.
“Do you see them yet Victis?” The boy asked, voice older sounding then his age range ( 7 or 8 ) but was that really a surprise?
“Nothing yet Jake.” The hollowheart rumbled.
“Is the lower class always late?”
“Usually...”

~*~

Once the ‘lower class’ contestants had arrived Jake stepped forward and his hollowheart growled quickly silencing the crowd.
“Welcome to the Easter event here in the proud, strong city of Jawan! I hope you’ve all read through the rules and regulations and have a copy of the map! If you do not,” the young boy gestured to a table to his right, “Everything you need to know is here. If you cannot find the answers on the rules feel free to ask myself, Jake Fritz or Victis.”

The hollowheart bowed at his name but said nothing more.
“If rules are broken during the event Victis is here to make sure you do on my behalf!” He looked around at the faces actually managing to look nervous, “Umm... I’ll give you all some time to get ready before the hunt begins! My event is single so no teaming up!”

THESE DESCRIPTIONS ARE GUIDE LINES! You can twist them to your liking, really. Some will have a note with "RolePlay Required" where I'll step in and ad a detail or two. The 20 point eggs are all RP based, mind. All the eggs are numbered which is important. Your characters may, or may not, know beforehand what their eggs are doing or the "scenery" they have around them. S'up to you, yuppers. <3 Also, as we go along I'll cross out the eggs that have been found here on this list and not the main map so if you're not sure what has been claimed read other peoples posts or view this list. <3

1-2-3-4 Here the water is not as shallow as it is along the rest of the beach. A taller adult could still wade about but anyone considered short or still a child would have to actually swim. The drop from shallow to deep is rather sudden so watch your step! Sitting atop the water the eggs wait patiently to be grabbed.

5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12 Fine, silty slime sits at the bottom of the water, mostly undisturbed. The feeling is disgusting and most would consider unpleasant and gross, this gross stuff is deep enough in some areas that if you stand in it it'll reach right up to your knees! GROSS! The eggs bob about the surface but do you really want to wade through THAT?

13-14-15 The water here is shallow and clear. You can see your toes, no problem! The eggs bob about the surface of the water, easy points.

16-17-18 A thick wall of seaweed blocks your path. You could go through it but it won't be easy. The eggs themselves are about 10 feet below the waters surface so you'd better be a decent diver!

19-20 This seaweed is hard to navigate, this whole space of sea thickly clogged. Ypour pace will severely slow but the eggs trapped in this forest are worth enough points, right? You may also find small seawinders gliding past your legs and nibbling at you, most are friendly but I wouldn't dwell too long as they may decide your toes are tasty snacks.

21-22 The rocks here are jagged on this side; dark and unfriendly masses, the eggs seem to be keeping their distance from this rough neighbours.

23-24-25 Bit of seaweed litter the area but there is, otherwise, very little going on. But where are the eggs? About 10 feet below you.

26 Those same awful black rocks. On this side though they are much smoother, getting the blunt force of the waves from the open sea. Those same waves will make it hard for you to swim and avoid getting swept into those same rocks; you need to be a strong swimmer if you want this egg which is constantly going onto the rock, only to be pulled back by those waves.

27 Here the water is deep and dark, foreboding but at least it's quiet. The egg is the only thing in sight, a solitary thing?

28 This strange cave-like opening in the ship is dark and hard to navigate (there is a pocket of air though). Divers claim the space is haunted; who knew ghosts could live under water?

29-30 This ship is sunk (probably on those rocks..) and hella' old, the whole thing looks ready to fall apart but the host of this event hired a good diver to get these eggs where they are. He found a tunnel of sortswith air pockets and everything. The path is cleary marked with bioluminescent critters in jars (fantasy~ shush, let me have my fun~) so don't worry. Though the tunnel is still relatively dark and spooky. The eggs are floatin in the air pockets at the top of the water and are pretty easy to find.

31-32-33-34 Easy points, right? PFFT! WRONG! There's a mean looking creature on this raft. A dire fenref to be exact. Thankfully he's asleep but to get the eggs you'll have to get on the raft and sneak around. If you wake him up you're in a lot of trouble! I've been told that a good lullaby will put him back to sleep, but that might take awhile...
( ROLEPLAY REQUIRED )

35-36-37-38-39 These eggs are far from the finish line and aren't worth many points but they ARE easy pickin'! They sit atop the water, bouncing on the waves, there's enough that it looks a little bit like a party! The sea is rather devoid of anything interesting here.

40 13 feet below the surface this egg is worth diving for (if you can dive, anyway).

41-42-43 This coral reef is a delicate maze and the eggs could be anywhere! Better get looking and seriously, coral = fragile, don't harm the coral!

Event Type:

Single

How to Join

Simply post here (Roleplay it out!) your arrival and all of that. There will be a three days to join. We’ll start sooner if all the slots fill before the three days. Just post your arrival after I post again you’ll get ready to start and follow the rules (described below).

RULES

+ Follow all Evelon Rules, the exception to this rule is the five post rule. You DO NOT need five posts in a past RP to join this event. As well if you have five posts and join here you do not need to post five times to start a different RP.

+ One Character Per User. This is so you don’t have five characters going around each getting an egg per post. Choose wisely (I don’t want your 3 year old sleepyheart diving to extrodinary depths to get an egg or something).

+ No Double Posting. If you did then you could just run around collecting eggs willy-nilly. D8> No fair to others.

+No Posting Order. Pertaining a bit to the rule above, you don’t have to wait around FOREVER either. If there’s one post between your latest post and your post before that, it’s totally legal!
+Replying to PMs sent from RE2 Makes an RE2 mad. You have no reason to PM me, I’m serial here. I will have a rabid hydrolisk GOD MODINGLY eat your char if you reply to hurry up, serious here.

How It Works

Step the First: Join by posting your character of choices arrival. Stats don’t interfere with how well you’ll do so the pet doesn’t matter (unless in IC he/she/it/both is unable to swim, that could matter as this IS a swimming event).

Step the Second: Wait for everybody else to join. You can post mingling if you’d like basically you wait either three days or until all the slots are filled, which ever comes first.

Step the Third: I, RE2, will post and be basically say “EVERYBODY TO THE STARTING LINE!” then everyone in the event will have 24 hours to post. In this post you must include a BOLDED TARGET EGG!
EX:

“Finny was super excited about this event! He wasn’t here to get first, but to just have fun. Watching the small waves roll in and out the little kuni set his eyes on EGG #3.”

This will tell me what egg you want and how far it is from you. You’ll receivea PM from me basically stating the distance. Distance in this event is made up of post. So I’d say:
“From starting line to egg #3 is: ONE POST.”

Once you have received this first PM DO NOT POST.

Step the Fourth: Once everyone has posted (or 24 hours has past)I will post again in a “On your marks, get set, GO!” after this it’s a posting free-for-all (besides the rules outlined above). You will go to the egg you bolded in a prior post. Once you have completed the required number of posts to reach your egg you will boldly tell me your next target!

“Reaching #3 Finny grabbed the rope the egg was tied down too and tied it around his tail. Alright, his first egg! His next egg, #4, was not too far away.”

I will then PM you in the same fashion! This will repeat until all the eggs are found or if you guys give up.

Remember I AM RE2 and there’s a possibility random things might happen and try and stop you from getting to eggs. A school of fish blocking your way or a kid in a row boat or anything could happen but it won’t happen all the time so don’t get to excited. RP wise I’ll be mostly inactive in your thread.

The few random hot pink eggs worth the mother load will be given out using chance, they could take 2 turns to get, the could take 10 but will require RPing on my part once you reach the area.

Event Type Information

Well in the singles event it’s just you so it’s pretty straight forward. In the team even, on the other hand you need to team up with other users and collect eggs together.

That could mean all swimming together and all getting different eggs along the same “route” OR you could all split up, pick a strategy that best suits you and your team. The upside to swimming together is that it’ll PROBABLY be more fun and easier to RP. FYI. Both event types are basically the same.

In the team event you have to decide on teams and make that clear in your posts and/or before the event begins official (when you go out to get your first egg). Also whatever your team earns the total will increase by 15% and then be divided up.

All teams consists of either 2 or 3 characters.

[MillietheWarrior]

This wasn’t on his ’to-do’ list today, that was for sure. Why did he get all the dirty jobs? Well, he supposed it did involve swimming and water, so that was always nice. At least Nia had chosen a favorable chore this time. The large, reptilian creature rumbled as it swaggered along the beach, his tail swinging behind him like a giant pendulum. The waves crashed at his feet, and he rumbled pleasantly as he felt the water soak into his scales. He had to admit, it had been quite  awhile since he’d been let loose like this, free to swim and go where he pleased. It was rather…nice. Maybe Nia did know what she was doing after all.
When he’d been given to her as a tiny little egg, and then hatched, the first thing he saw was her chubby little five year old face. And now that she was nearly eighteen, he was happy to do as she asked, provided he got some kind of treat -coughfishcough-, when he completed the task. This one looked to be…interesting. He wasn’t planning on actually checking this out, but…well…orders were orders. He heaved a rumbling sigh as he sat down heavily in the sand like a massive puppy, head tilted to the side as he stared up at the hollow heart and his companion. Okay. He was here. What now?

[Elektra]

Ahava wasn't really sure what was going on here, with this event and all, but she had been told that it was an aquatic hunt, so she was all for it.  Running up, she saw only one or two people at the place she had been told to go, but of course, it wasn't even ready to start yet.  Finally Ahava was able to just sit down, and thought about what she was going to do. "A hunt.  So I'd better be ready." she thought to herself.  Looking around, she sat down in the sand, and sighed as the waves came up to her feet.

[Redd]

The large Frost Paragon tilted head and focused his glittering blue eyes onto the Treasure Hollowheart and the boy. As he listened he almost started wagging his feathered tail in delight and excitement.

Oh boy~ A Swimming Contest~ How exciting!

He glanced around at the other people around. Yes, he could easily best them. Easily~
Then he flicked his gaze down to his black ebony claws. No... He couldn't... Florence had said...
Man. The rules were so different here. You couldn't hurt folks who had hurt other people.
Though, X usually forgot that rule he generally pulled himself up before he did too much harm.

The big dragon shook his spiny head and flared out his spiny, webbed wings as he approached the people who were running the event.
"I'd like to sign up for this event~" X trilled happily. "My real name's X so... I guess that's what you'll need to put down?"

[GrayGriffin]

The large Slydra moved slowly towards the sign-up area, his eyes lowered nervously. After all, he couldn't speak human nor Pet. If he was to sign up, he'd have to...somehow show his intentions. At least Tayne'd had the good idea of giving him a piece of paper with his name on it...

"Ssss!" he added, facing the Hollowheart. He traced the sand at the other's feet awkwardly, trying to express by signs that he wished to sign up. It might seem surprising for a Slydra to want to swim, but he was a multitalented one. He gestured to the small piece of paper stuck to his scales: Alfred, it said.

[Kyrit]

An event that involved swimming? This was just perfect! His tails flopped around back and forth behind him, padding his way to the table to grab one of the maps. Small little puddles were left in a tail behind him, one for each step he had taken. It was as if he had already been in the water or something. Well, the or something was probably the better guess. Water was his element after all. He was going to feel right at home during this event! Some of the other competitors seemed rather.. scary though. He'd make sure not to go after an egg they wanted. Didn't want to stir up a fight or something, since he almost knew it would end with him losing.

Sitting down to listen and wait, his eye were fixed on the map. Maybe Myxed was thinking about which egg to go after first and where to go from there? Well.. probably not. Strategy wasn't exactly his thing. He'd probably just go after whatever was closest that he didn't think someone else was running after.

[ToxicShadow]

Naraqua

Ah, there was finally something to do that was right up her alley! Oh, how the lords knew that Naraqua had been wanting to get out of the house. There was a lake at home, yes, but swimming and sun bathing by oneself could only be entertaining for so long, and she did that almost every day. It was getting rather repetitive for the water elemental mage, even when she got to beat up the so-called sea monsters that lived in each half of the divided lake. Tormenting and teasing the creatures, swimming oh-so-innocently, then suddenly bending the water to shoot them away at last minute... It was like a dangerous game of cat-and-mouse, where each participant switched places at random. It was fun, indeed, but nothing had ever changed about the game. Her opponents never got any better; or, that is to say, they both got better at an equal rate, so nothing changed. This was a brand new challenge, something entirely different and with entirely different creatures.

The Lucain was smiling to herself as she settled in with a map, close to the starting line with all the other contestants that had gathered. She was pleased to see that there was at least one other Lucain joining the game, so she didn't feel like a completely wacko outsider. Heck, if she wasn't so sure that she could take care of herself, a lot of the other contestants may have intimidated her, but that would not be the case. She was going to do her best and collect as many, hopefully valuable, eggs as she could. This was, after all, her element.

[Silversky]

Oh, I am so in.
Siren trotted eagerly (though not too eagerly, she still tried to preserve at least a little of her dignity) up to the Hollowheart and the boy. "I'm signing up," she said imperiously. Without waiting for a response, she padded down to the edge of the water. The waves rolled up against her paws, and the smell of the ocean filled the air. This was perfect.
The others don't stand a chance.
This was just the kind of thing she might win.

[jackie125]

Patrice had heard about the egg hunt earlier, and wanted to join, but when he heard that it was a swimming egg hunt, he thought he could definitly win some eggs!
Patrice ran joyfully along the beach to the big hollowheart and the boy that seemed to be his owner. "I would like to join this hunt please!" He was more fond of fresh water, but salt water was way more fun.
He was so excited. He couldn't wait for the hunt to begin!

[josieweirdo]

Semren

Swimming? Hunting for eggs? It only sounded 'fun' if only your idea of that was to swim around like crazy, overcome obstacles and attempt not to smash the eggs in question once they were found. She had protested loudly when the matter came up, but she was not in any position to object and that was why she was now here, signing up for something as stupid as an egg hunt in the water.

Once she had signed up, Semren decided to give her current surroundings a bit of attention and snorted, noticing how the creatures already there seemed so much more eager than her to start the task. Her attention went to a table next, a stack of maps lying upon it and she grabbed one without a word. Now she simply had to wait for the rest of the competition to arrive. And for a decent explanation to be given...

[Dawnhawk]

Ahh, to finally escape the confines of the Pen and see the world! The glorious blue waves lapped on the down-soft sand of the golden beach, its beauty reaching down into the Evelonian's very soul...
Pssht. As if things were so peachy.
The Palowockee knew that he was only selected for his size. He towered over nearly every one of Dawnhawk's "companions", save for the Battlehearts, and his thickly muscled legs would be perfect for all of the swimming exercizes that were to be anticipated here. After all, this WAS the Sea City, and he WAS being sent out to participate in this... contest.
"I just hope that I don't have to speak to anyone..." Abolish muttered as he peered at the rules. Oh, how fitting it was to use a previous egg to find new ones. Was his purpose only to stand in the center of poorly fabricated coincidences? It appeared to be so.
And now he had to go and converse with the contest-holders. Disgusting.
Feeling ridiculous and rather more unfriendly than usual, the Palowockee trotted up to the Hollowheart, slightly pleased that he was large enough to look directly into his eyes. He pondered his wording for a moment, then told him, "I am hear to join your egg-hunting contest. I don't speak human, so... Tell your child to record the fact that 'Abolish' is participating? I don't know. Just... I'm here, and I'm going to find some eggs."
Well, he thought, being polite is NOT in my job description.

[Carlie]

Hmm, an egg hunt that requires swimming. Sounds like fun, Alice thought as she approached the area that the egg hunt was being held. She had always loved swimming, since she was young. And she wouldn't find finding some easter eggs, either!

She read over the rules quickly. Hopefully this would be easy for her...either way, it would probably be fun.

"Hello, my name is Alice. I'd like to sign up for this contest, please."

[Celtic]

Oh god. More like THANK god! Exxie had finally found a way to escape Celtic's clutches. He was a street puppy for crying out loud! All this fluffy pampering stuff was just not to his tastes. Certaintly she understood that, right?! Exxie knew that she was just being a good owner and was excited to have a dalma, but really? Could she have made his life anymore miserable?! Exxie wiggled his paws and shivered. She even put him in booties. He had just ditched them on his way to the city- thank god. Not to mention it was a miracle that she had even come close to letting him leave! Not that he really gave her much time to object. The instant Celtic had let on that there was something going on he ran out that door without hearing what it actually was. He could be fighting dragons for all he knew (though hopefully he wouldn't be. That would be reeeally bad. Celtic would never ever let him out again!)! But seeing the rather tame set-up, it probably wasn't. Oh dear.

But as he listened to the boy speak, he relaxed a bit. An egg hunt! That would probably end up being fun. Not dangerous or life-threatening. Unless a sea monster came and ate him up. Seeing as he didn't have a copy of anything, Exxie waited for him to stop speaking before going to grab one.

And immediately the dalma was in an even better mood. They were in WATER! 8D Exxie loved to swim and it was one of the things he was immensely proud of. See, when he was still a little street puppy, there wasn't much to eat in the city he wandered (Aldrect) considering it was always so stinkin clean! So he would go with some buddies to a nearby river and attempt to catch fish. More often then not, Exxie was the last one to get a fish and was almost always pushed in or fell in. The first few times he nearly drowned, so after that, Exxie had decided to learn to swim! Ever since then, this little dalma has absolutely adored water. Weird, I know.

[.:Random Event 2:.]

Participants were signing up quickly but Jake showed no outward display of emotions; no smile no nervous wiggly. Polite nods and the occasional polite smile did occur but he was otherwise composed. Victis on the other hand was a sort of body guard to the boy and was constantly in motion, watching everyone with an air of suspicion.

The palowockee was given an agree huff and a blast of hot air from the hollowhearts nostrils before he turned to Jake.
“This inconsiderate beast is named Abolish and he “is here and will be finding eggs”. “
Jake actually managed a laugh at that, writing things down. Got to keep records, right?

When it seemed there were enough here the boy looked to his hollowheart who stood up and loudly proclaimed that anyone else who wanted to join would be turned away and that those participating should listen up. With everyone’s attention the young boy stepped forward.

“Alright! We will be getting this event started now. Please everyone line up at the starting line!” The boy gestured to a thick red ribbon that had been staked into the ground. Simple enough.
“We will be starting soon!” If anyone was at all curious the young boy seemed to have a spark of excitement in his eyes. He wasn’t being to obvious about it, but he was excited about all of his hard work coming together.

(( Egg location descriptions for this event are up. Please read “How it Works” if you haven’t yet, in the first post so you know what to do, alright? Sweet. <3 ))

[ToxicShadow]

The female Lucain's tails swished and her ears swiveled forward when the event keeper let it be known that it was about time to start. For a brief moment, she wondered just how the maps were going to be useful once they were in the water. If paper got wet, it would end up illegible. It was a good thing she had just spent those few moments in attempt to memorize the map. She wasn't sure how things were going to work out, but she had a very ill-planned strategy. Take one egg, move to the next one near by that she could find. It all seemed simple enough, right? Hopefully, she'd be fast enough to snag a few eggs before the others got to them.

Naraqua took her place at the starting line, closer to one side than the middle. She'd start with a closer egg, yes, and work her way about. Several little eggs was enough to rack up these points, or whatever they were. Let's see... EGG #12 would be her first target.
