9: Orias and I came up with a game that we think could be really fun to play together! It's like Mad Libs and scavenger hunting in one, but we'll be playing with facts about ourselves!
9: Yeah, but the app won't let us say personal stuff, right?
9: Well, that's where the scavenger hunt part comes in! α( α )α
9: If we post one half of a clue on the app and another half in the real world, and then try to match the clues we find to the right ones and compare them here, maybe we can learn about each other! Or make a lot of really silly guesses.
9: But no cheating by using names or symbols on the clues in town, okay? That wouldn't be very fun!
9: Okay, I'll go first! The starting half of my first clue is: I've been told I'm...
[OOC: An approved player plot by the mods, inviting characters to try and bypass the app's privacy settings! (And Luci!) This will result in tiny headaches for those participating, and for those that are successful, the reward of learning things about other app users and maybe even being able to identify them before the countdown has reached its end!
The other half of Kouyuki's clue can be found in Green Valley's apple orchard and will simply read, "...a little bit short for my age!" But players are welcome to match that up with others' clues and make as many absurd sentences and guesses as they want!
But please remember: talking about the app in person won't be possible if they do manage to meet!]

[And then there's radio silence for a long while. But he returns.]
10: "A skill I've never told anyone I have:" can be found by looking through an injured dragon's eyes.
["I know how to dance." If anyone knows that one gargoyle on the lower cycle campus, the one with a chipped wing? If someone should move to an angle where they can look it directly in the eyes... then look behind them, they'll find a trash can. Tucked away in a small niche next to the very bottom of it, in a plastic bag, is the answer, exactly where the gargoyle should be theoretically staring. Have. Fun. It's intentionally made difficult to find even if you have an idea where to look.]
10: "Even if everyone else does, something I won't do is..." This can be found in the source of knowledge. Seek something that runs but doesn't move, and has no lungs and no throat but can roar.
["...drink soda." If you said the decorative waterfall inside of Green Valley, you'd be right. ... of course, this being Kidou, it's sealed securely inside three plastic bags to ensure it stays dry (he tested it, it will stay dry as long as everyone puts it back correctly), weighed down underneath that small waterfall by a rock. No one ever should let him do these. Ever.
At least in this one, within that final bag is a collection of origami lucky stars out of fancy stationary paper. So there's a prize for those who find it.]

It occurs to him as he's getting ready to leave that he should probably leave something in exchange, and he paws through his things thoughtfully. After a moment of deliberation, Sakuma ends up slipping a chunk of raw quartz into it -- he'd bought it at the museum of geology to use as a subject for drawing, but it seemed appropriate. Plus, the quartz would help keep the bag submerged again.
Sakuma isn't looking to actually participate in the game by finding these. He's not nearly so interested in anyone else's. But this is important.]

9: I'm impressed!
[Kouyuki can't say he expected this level of participation from Eligor 10, but he's glad for it. Knowing that person isn't as reluctant to share as he'd first thought is actually quite a comfort.
Their clues are certainly clever, too. The second one is obviously a library, but unlike with Orias', Kouyuki doesn't have any accidental former hints to indicate where it might be. (Unless he missed something? He'll have to check later.) And as for that first one...nope, he doesn't know that one at all. An injured dragon? He doesn't recall ever having seen anything like that.
This is going to take a while...
And it does. The second clue gets a response first, being fortunate enough to come across it while looking for someone in the middle of the week. Kouyuki isn't sure what to make of the quartz stone in the bags, however...and with there being only one, he doesn't feel like it would be right to take it. So instead he adds a trinket of his own: a 9 from a deck of cards kept in his bag to play with when he's bored between classes or during lunch. Which isn't often, considering he's normally preoccupied with talking to people or heading out to the track, but on rainy or quiet days it's come in useful. The deck is virtually mint for how unused it is and, after some thought, the suit chosen is...diamond. To go with the quartz. He tucks it into the bags securely, seals them back up, and weighs them down underneath the water where he found the clue originally.
He still hasn't found the dragon, but this is a good start for now. And he'll message back after lunch...]
9: Okay, I think I got one of those, so here's another in return!
9: Look for the gift of nature to find what "I'm very pick about..."
[This time, the clue is quite literal, 'gift of nature' being one of the ways to translate Tenkei, a restaurant in Eddan where the other half of Kouyuki's clue resides. Tucked into the garden box outside, sealed in a bag, is a slip of paper that reads, "...what kind of ramen I eat." And on the back of the note there is a scribbled: try the miso ramen here β it's my favorite! β‘]
