[Video] End of Scavenger Hunt Event

[Everyone's mirrors glow at once, and the Speaker's kindly bearded face appears, just as it did when they first arrived. He beams, eyes twinkling with pleasure]

It's taken us a while to tabulate the results, but I'm here to announce the winner of the Scavenger Hunt. The winner will receive a thousand dollars - quite a prize!

[He clears his throat dramatically]

And the winner is...

[He raises his hand, and from somewhere the sound of a drum roll begins to rumble]

The Disciple!

Congratulations, dear. You can come to the government offices to claim your prize.

[OOC: Feel free to keep backtagging, of course!]
highb100d_seeker: (D --> Happy (with Nepeta))

[personal profile] highb100d_seeker 2012-09-28 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
D --> Oh
D --> Well, yes, we do get along fairly well
D --> But at the same time, I don't know if she likes the same things that my Nepeta likes
D --> For e%ample, my Nepeta enjoys painting and tea
whomheloved: (puzzled)

[personal profile] whomheloved 2012-09-28 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
oh, yes, you're right of course :((
painting and tea sound like things i like too, so i guess it makes sense your nepeta likes them!
i guess i'll have to ask this nepeta myself
i was just hoping to manage to make it a surprise for her
highb100d_seeker: (D --> :/)

[personal profile] highb100d_seeker 2012-09-28 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
D --> I'm certain she'll enjoy the gift regardless
D --> I apologize that I couldn't be more definite
D --> She wasn't completely forthcoming when I spoke to her on a few subje%

D --> Can I ask you something
whomheloved: (content)

[personal profile] whomheloved 2012-09-28 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
that's okay!
i know you'd have helped if you could have

of course :33
highb100d_seeker: (D --> Hmph you are beneath me)

D --> I locked the thread, since this is a rather delicate subject
D --> Now then
D --> And e%cuse me for my rudeness, but I must ask
D --> Are you a heretic
whomheloved: (waiting)

[He can't see her but she sighs, closing her eyes. If anything could dampen her current happiness, it's probably this.]

i chose not to believe the empire's propaganda
to follow instead a troll who spoke of a better, kinder life
where trolls would work together, not merely make use of each other
an alternia without slavery or fear...

if that makes me a heretic, then yes, i am one
highb100d_seeker: (D --> Oh god...)

[Tech filtered]

[personal profile] highb100d_seeker 2012-09-28 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
D --> I see
D --> Yes, I think that does make you a heretic
D --> Uh
D --> I think that means I'm not supposed to talk to you
D --> But I admit I'm rather confused about this whole issue, so I'm not sure what I should do
whomheloved: (looking inward)

[Tech filtered]

[personal profile] whomheloved 2012-09-28 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
i won't apologize for what i believe in
because it's been everything good that's ever happened to me in my life
but i would be very sad not to get to talk to you again, equius
highb100d_seeker: (D --> Uncertain)

[Tech filtered]

[personal profile] highb100d_seeker 2012-09-28 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
D --> Why
D --> I STRONGLY believe in the correctness of the hemospectrum
D --> But you want to overturn it, don't you
whomheloved: (holding his words)

[Tech filtered]

[personal profile] whomheloved 2012-09-28 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
we do not wish to overturn it
i've s33n trolls here from an alternia where that happened, and that is nothing we ever wanted

what we wanted was for trolls to be equal
not to use bloodcolour, something we are hatched with and cannot change, as an excuse
an excuse to be cruel to each other
an excuse to make life even shorter and harder to bear for those with short lifespans
an excuse to make those with longer ones wall themselves in loneliness as a shield against those who'd backstab them
there is so much n33dless misery and fear and hatred among our people, equius
we can be better than that
highb100d_seeker: (D --> Lipbite)

[personal profile] highb100d_seeker 2012-09-28 10:05 pm (UTC)(link)
D --> Oh

D --> I think I understand why I'm not supposed to talk to you
whomheloved: (beloved)

[Tech filtered]

[personal profile] whomheloved 2012-09-28 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
we don't n33d to speak about this if you'd rather not, equius
i wasn't trying to convince you of it, only to explain why i believe what i do
it...doesn't matter much now, anyway
highb100d_seeker: (D --> Listening)

[Tech filtered]

[personal profile] highb100d_seeker 2012-09-28 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
D --> Maybe that's best
D --> I have found a lot of things e%tremely confusing since I arrived here, and even before then, on the subject of the hemospectrum and the proper conduct of highb100ds and lowb100ds and related topi%
D --> But I think I need to ponder it some more on my own, lest I be swayed by dangerous possible 100nati% like yourself
D --> No offence
D --> But why doesn't it matter
whomheloved: (blood on my hands)

[Tech filtered]

[personal profile] whomheloved 2012-09-28 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
that's fine of course
thinking things over for yourself is always a good thing
too many people let others do all their thinking for them

because the empire put a stop to it, of course
i don't know how much of our message lasted, but i doubt anything of us did
they tortured my love to death, took my best friend back into slavery and erased his mind, made him a helmsman
i don't know what happened to rosa or myself, but i doubt it was anything good
we always knew we'd never live to s33 the peace we'd dreamed of, but...
not like this, never like this
highb100d_seeker: (D --> Grimace)

[Tech filtered]

[personal profile] highb100d_seeker 2012-09-28 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
D --> That helmsman is your friend
D --> I see
D --> But you are alive here, so you could still spread your ideas
D --> I suspect there are many here who'd be receptive
whomheloved: (looking inward)

that's right
the psiioniic, he was called
our hardheaded, brilliant psii

we are alive here, but for how much longer?
signless and psii have b33n through too much
i want them to be at peace while they can
they've already given everything they have
and this place...it is already closer to what we hoped for than i ever thought i'd s33

perhaps i'm just tired to speak like this
i'm sorry, equius
whatever else can be said of this place, i'm grateful it gave me the chance to m33t you, and nepeta, and everyone else here
highb100d_seeker: (D --> Shy)

[personal profile] highb100d_seeker 2012-09-28 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
D --> There's no need to apologize
D --> I'm sorry that I've made you sad
D --> Maybe I shouldn't have brought this up at all
whomheloved: (all i've lost)

[Tech filtered]

[personal profile] whomheloved 2012-09-28 10:33 pm (UTC)(link)
no, no, never worry about talking to me about anything
and i'll be fine, i promise

D --> Whatever our differences, I have no wish to harm you
D --> I can assure you of that
whomheloved: (puzzled)

[Tech filtered]

[personal profile] whomheloved 2012-09-28 10:40 pm (UTC)(link)
that is very good to know, equius
thank you

...can i ask you, though?
what made you ask me if i was a heretic in the first place?
highb100d_seeker: (D --> Let me e%plain)

[Tech filtered]

[personal profile] highb100d_seeker 2012-09-28 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
D --> My ancestor told me you were
D --> And something about you being instrumental in whatever it is he won't tell me about his past
D --> He said I should be carefoal of my associations
whomheloved: (no more beeth)

[Tech filtered]

[personal profile] whomheloved 2012-09-28 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
ugh he won't tell me either!
...well
i know part of the role he played
but i know there's more to it than just that and i have argued with him about it back and forth and he won't say a thing
highb100d_seeker: (D --> Sulking)

[Tech filtered]

[personal profile] highb100d_seeker 2012-09-28 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
D --> I suppose it would be wrong of me to ask you to tell me what you do know, so I will not
D --> I'm glad he's no longer fleeing from me whenever I approach, though
D --> He's very strange
whomheloved: (the scribe)

[Tech filtered]

[personal profile] whomheloved 2012-09-28 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
no, i'm glad you won't
i don't think it's my place to talk about it if he wouldn't

that is good to hear, though
he always took some pinning down before he'd stop and talk
highb100d_seeker: (D --> Creep)

[Tech filtered]

[personal profile] highb100d_seeker 2012-09-28 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
D --> No, it wouldn't be your place
D --> I'll get him to tell me, perhaps, some day
D --> I just wish I understood him more
