SIX ⌘ Yotsuba and Buried Treasure [Action]

[rollypolyclover]

[Sometime in the afternoon, Yotsuba sees this message pop up in her journal. Rumours of buried treasure?! No way, she had totally been left out of the loop, what rumours?! There are probably hundreds, no, thousands of people already out looking for the treasure by now... She'll have to be quick and find it before anyone else! That treasure will be hers!!

First off she heads to the fountain and from there her treasure hunt begins! Yotsuba has her journal with her as she walks around all over the place trying to find the next hint to where the treasure is buried. There's the odd occasion where she's concentrating so hard on her journal that she ends up bumping into walls and maybe even people, but that doesn't deter her for long! Feel free to run into her at any of these locations: the fountain, playground, bakery, item shop, clinic, cherry blossom hill, library and finally around house 16. Yes, she's going to be all over the place today.

If you don't feel like engaging this five year old in her treasure hunting shenanigans that's fine. Yotsuba might just come to you first, waving her latest hint around and trying to get your attention.]

Hey, heeey! Do you see this? I need help, there's buried treasure out there and Yotsuba is going to find it!

[If you help her out there might be some candy and plastic coins in it for you in future. Maybe, if she decides to share.]

[ item shop it is! and the slayer's attention is pretty easy to capture... ]

Whoa, whoa. Slow down. You need help with the what now?

[rollypolyclover]

Buried treasure! Didn't you hear all the rumours?! You're out of the loop too Buffy, how could you?

[Gosh, these rumours have been going around everywhere since... Since that message came up in her journal, yeah! How can you not know?! Anyway, she takes the hint and holds it up as high as she can towards Buffy's face.]

It's a clue, it tells Yotsuba where to go to find the treasure!

[ Where else would Usagi be but around the bakery, seriously, she could almost just build a tent in front of that place and live there instead with how often she goes there. But just as she's walking out with some cookies-- BUMPED INTO.

And of course the impact from a five year old bumping into her is enough to make her drop backwards and land on her butt on the ground. Yup. Cue Usagi whining sounds. ]

[rollypolyclover]

[The advantages of there being a hint around the bakery are that she gets to go to the bakery. Yotsuba likes the bakery a lot. It's full of cake and stuff. Yummy delicious things-- USAGI GET OUT THE WAY?!]

Yotsuba walked into you!! [...] The cookies fell on the ground. The ants will be happy, especially the ants that like cookies.

[On another one of his routine patrols, Jay is busy watching the people in the plaza, looking for any interesting activities. Even so, his ninja senses detect the five-year-old walking up behind him. He steps aside, letting her pass by. Only then does he notice her embroiled in her book and not even paying attention.]

There are better places to read, you know.

[Action]

[rollypolyclover]

I'm not reading, Yotsuba is on a treasure hunt!

[She just so happens to need to read something to take part in this treasure hunt. Now if you'll excuse her Yotsuba needs to step over here and walk into this tree...]

Ohh? The treasure isn't here. [About face! More walking.]

[hisapprentice]

Treasure? ...Are you sure?

[Who else would she go to for hints?]

[rollypolyclover]

Yotsuba is really sure, it said so in the journal and everything! It's 'portant!

[With the journal already open on the page talking about buried treasure, Yotsuba holds it out and shoves it towards Luke's face as best she can.]

See?! There are rumours about it everywhere.

[allseeingdeath]

[ Shiki just blinks in surprise. ]

Yotsuba? What do you mean?

[rollypolyclover]

Treasure! You know, the stuff pirates go looking for with their eye patches, y'aaaaargh!

[With her hand she covers one of her eyes. Voila, eye patch!]

There are lots of rumours about it, you should help Yotsuba look.

[Voice]

[toujoursfluer]

Buried treasure, hmm? [As a pirate and archaeologist, she has some experience in this]

Are you sure it's a good idea to look for it? It could be something dangerous.

[Voice]

[rollypolyclover]

[Blink. Ooh the journal is saying stuff. Awesome, she can keep walking, read the hints and talk at the same time. Multitasking!]

Ehhh, dangerous? But it's treasure! [Therefore it must be something good. Gold coins and crowns and other pirate booty.] Treasure can't be dangerous, just don't get the coins if they're not the chocolate kind.

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

Buried treasure? Why would anyone bury treasure in a place like this?

[Voice]

[rollypolyclover]

Don't know, the journal says there's buried treasure though! Don't you know why there's treasure around here!? You need to keep up with the rumours.

[Well, it's not like Norma was doing much today, other than the usual studying of her Relares notes and walking about the village aimlessly. She has a donut crammed in her mouth as she reads over some writing in her notebook, but looks up once the excitable youngster comes calling. What's she going one about this ti--

Treasure? What kind of treasure? ]

...Boy, did you come to the right person. [Norma is a Treasure Hunter, after all.] So long as there aren't any traps, I think I can help you out with that, Munchkin. Can I see what'cha got there?

[Action]

[rollypolyclover]

[No Norma. Bad Norma. No swiping her treasure. It's hers okay? ... Okay.]

Ohhh you're good at this sort of thing aren't you? Even Norma has her uses. Here, this is Yotsuba's latest hint, hot off the press!

[She holds up a piece of paper with the words "Maybe you should look for something from home." written on it.]

[fleurdesel]

[Two very different and separate branches of research to dig through, not that Adele minds it, has her wandering through the library to find accurate texts. She has to double check every book she thinks may help her over for a sign that it came from an alternate world. Sometimes she's lucky and finds one that is, sometimes she isn't. She's in the middle of looking for a detailed account of battles in the Napoleonic wars when she feels something bump into her legs.]

What-

[She looks down. Blinks. Huffs a soft laugh.] Yotsuba. What are you reading so intently?

[rollypolyclover]

[Oops, hit an obstacle. Wait, it's Adele! Big smile!]

Hello! Yotsuba is on a treasure hunt to find the buried treasure. [The buried treasure. Surely Adele has heard all the rumours about it like the message in her journal says.] Yotsuba has found all these clues and everything and now I'm here. Look!

[She takes out her latest hint and holds the piece of paper with the words "Ask young Mister Hawkins where you ought to go from here." on it out to Adele.]

[greenghost]

[John's still very much a New Feather and still gaining his bearings in the village-- so in her zeal and attention to her journal, Yotsuba runs into him somewhere around the fountain. He starts, stumbles a little, and turns to stare wide-eyed at the green-haired little girl.]

...your hair is green.

[John she asked you a question.]

...your hair is green and you're like five.

[John.]

[...Right. He crouches down to see her at eye-level.]

What'd you need help with?

[rollypolyclover]

[Blink. Blink blink.]

I have green hair and Yotsuba is five. Good job!

[You get a pat on the leg for that wonderful deduction John, super good job.]

I have to look for a clue and find the buried treasure. Yotsuba really wants to find the treasure you know! Here, see, the journal is telling Yotsuba all about the buried treasure.

[Cue Yotsuba taking her journal and turning it around so John can see the page she had open.]

Yotsuba needs to start at the fountain!

action;

[gleamed]

Yotsuba? [You totally just bumped into her! Good thing Rapunzel doesn't mind at all. She seems...a little out of it and sad, to be honest. But last time she was sad, Yotsuba helped her cheer up a lot. Maybe she could this time, too.

So she starts looking curiously at whatever it is that the girl is staring at so intently in her journal.] What are you doing?

action;

[rollypolyclover]

Hello! [Bright and smiley as always~] Yotsuba is on a treasure hunt today, I'm going to find the buried treasure because buried treasure is awesome. Really awesome!

[Holding the journal in one hand she uses her other to point forward dramatically off towards some other location! ... Too bad she has no idea where to go next.]

The treasure might be over there! Ohh, Yotsuba should read the next hint.

[lastsmoke]

Buried treasure, huh? Sounds interesting--[ A smile, and he stoops down to try and take a look at what she's waving at him. ]--Now, what is it you need help with, kiddo?

[rollypolyclover]

A hint! See, Yotsuba has to follow the hint and it tells me where the treasure is. [This particular hint reads "Maybe someone who's sick needs a visitor."] Are you sick? I need a sick person to tell me where to go next!

[theoniongirl]

[the fountain is one of Jilly's favorite places to sit and people watch or, on nicer days, to draw. This time, she wasn't watching the crowd around her very closely, except when she looked up occasionally to grab a new reference to sketch, seeing how quickly she can capture the bits of movement around her. Sitting crosslegged on the fountain's ledge, her pencil moves in quick sweeps over the page.]

[rollypolyclover]

[And here comes Yotsuba, walking around the edge of the fountain with her arms out like a tight rope walker. Now she's meant to be looking for her next clue, but seeing an artist at work makes it very tempting to sit down and join in... So she decides to do just that!

Walking over on the fountain she sits right up close to Jilly, also crosslegged for the sake of copying her and starts sketching over the page in her journal that talks about buried treasure. She doesn't have a pencil with her though so it's purely pretend on her part.]

[doubleppk]

No way! What kind of treasure?

[rollypolyclover]

Don't know!! But it's treasure so it has to be full of candy and shiny things that are really eck-spensive and you wouldn't want to break them in a store!

[EXCITED JUMPING UP AND DOWN IS GO!]

[asobouyo]

[Hey BFF. I'm sure you're coming over to talk of buried treasure or piracy or something Indiana Jones Style, but Elicia's too busy sitting on her porch looking distraught and impossibly sad. In fact, there are a few real tears in there. Like, really real.

Somebody has hurt your brosis' feelings. And he's got a stupid beard.]

[rollypolyclover]

[Hey gurl heeey! Damn right she's here to talk all about this treasure she's looking for. In fact she's going to start talking about it right now.]

Hey Eliciaaa! Did you hear the rumours?! There's buried trea- [Oh no. Why are you crying? Did Byou come back?! Yotsuba tilts her head and looks legit worried. Like hell is her BFF going to be upset on her watch.]

What's the matter, did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed?

[Voice]

[of_sablier]

Buried treasure, you say? Does this mean you have a map to help find it?

[Voice]

[rollypolyclover]

... No! Yotsuba doesn't have a map, just clues. I really need a map now though, pirates always have maps to find their treasure and great big red crosses that tell you where the treasure is!

[But she does end up getting a map along the way!]

[thelittlemacthatcould]

[It's hard to ignore a little kid waving her arms as if desperately trying to flag down a taxi. The Bronxite's attention is caught in the midst of his jog and he slows to a stop, pausing to wipe the back of his arm across his forehead.]

Hey... [He is pretty sure he never met this little one before. Bemusedly, he asks:] What's goin' on? [Yeah, he didn't catch all that.]

[rollypolyclover]

Buried treasure, buried treasure is going on! Yotsuba wants to find the buried treasure.

Yes, the buried treasure, the one that everyone has been talking about. You must have heard the rumours. The journal says there are rumours so there are rumours!]

[Action, near the fountain]

[geniustheveil]

[Ami had been lingering over a rather pleasant book; but when the latest clue is brought to attention so... unavoidably, she looks up, and ducks her head in an apologetic nod.]

I'm sorry; I didn't hear you right away.

[Wait.]

Did you say a treasure? [Is Jack playing tricks, or is this a little girl's imagination?]

[Action, near the fountain]

[rollypolyclover]

Yeah, treasure! ... It's Usagi's friend, hi, Yotsuba ran into you at a good time, there's buried treasure to find!

[With her journal in hand she turns it to show Ami the page which talks about rumours of buried treasure and how she needs to go to the fountain to start looking.]

See? There are rumours about it and it's all Yotsuba's if I find it.
