rollypolyclover | SIX ⌘ Yotsuba and Buried Treasure [Action]

[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.]

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.]

Treasure hunt, hmm? You won't find it in the trees.

I won't? But what if one of the clues says 'Hey the treasure is in the trees'? Who does Yotsuba believe, the clue or Jay?

Well, naturally, you should follow the clues. But they can be tricky sometimes.

[He tries to get a peek at the journal.]

What exactly does it say?

pNo need to be sneaky, Yotsuba will quite gladly shove the journal in Jay's direction so he can read it for himself.]

Didja hear all the rumours about the treasure? Yotsuba didn't hear anything, it was a secret. Shhh.

I haven't heard anything, really.

[But what does it say?]

You should be careful, though. There's someone here who would try to find the treasure before you do.

There is?! [NO WAY THAT HEATHEN SHE WILL CRUSH THEM IT'S HER TREASURE OKAY?!] Who?! Should Yotsuba fight them for it, fight them like Sailor Cicada?!

Her name is Norma. All you have to do is find the treasure before she does.

[Fighting Norma is not recommended, however.]

Ohhh Norma is friendly, she calls me Munchkin. That's a nickname!

[... Well she did punch Norma that one time. It could happen again.]

Oh, you've met her already? That's a surprise. She gives everyone nicknames.

Yotsuba already met her and we got ice cream together after she was done being the Normonster.

[Cue even more WTF's.]

"Normonster?" When did she become a monster?

[The memory she has of Norma being the Normonster is a little fuzzy given she was a Sailor Soldier fan at the time, so it takes her a few seconds to think up a proper reply.]

... A while ago, she was all scary and Normonster-y, so Yotsuba took care of it.

Normonster-y, huh?

[Valuable information, get. It might be useful for blackmail later on...should the need arise.]

Well, Norma is a treasure hunter, so naturally she'll be hunting for the treasure as well. Are you going to share it with her?

No. [...] Maybe. Maybe Yotsuba will share some of the treasure!

[But preferably she would like to have it all to herself. Treasure hog.]

Yotsuba is a treasure hunter today too so naturally I'm hunting for the treasure.

[Well, that's a surprise. People hunt for treasure because they're greedy.]

That's interesting. Do you even know what the treasure is?
