Plot || The Star Wars Vaikuntha Special

[hatejakku]

Who: Open
When: June 8-14
Where: Everywhere
What: The race for the crystals is on!!
Warnings/Notes: OOC Post


Crystals have fallen out of the Dream Width in a beautiful meteor shower and scattered all over the world! Due to their origins and mysterious properties, the Curti Center is interested in gathering as many as they can for researching purposes. To incentivize the public in helping out, O'aka has donated a few silver coupons to those top few who collect the most crystals. There's also a rumor that the one person (or more if there's a tie) who collects the most, wins something marvelous and mysterious~

The hunt for these crystals have taken storm across Vaikuntha and they're suddenly worth a lot. It's all anyone talks about anymore! The locals have gone crazy with it! If you weren't interested to begin with, surely the madness that is this new fad has sunk its teeth in. Besides, who knows what the crystals can actually do? Are they gifts? Curses? Dust collectors? Only one way to find out.

"As you wish," he says with a little nod. Then clears his throat:

"What asterisk guilds can be found in the city Kiddilion?"

[peace_through_empathy]

"Black Mage." Megatron replies promptly. "And...hmm." He thinks for a moment. Hand to chin, and closing his eyes he thinks for a moment. He remembers organizing the pamphlets in the Curti Center mess hall, and carefully reading each one to get the full picture of the asterisks, as badly put together as the pamphlets may have been. There was one more guild in Kiddilion. Black Mage and...

"-Geomancer." He finishes, his eyes opening.

[hatejakku]

"Correct." The hamster nods. "Two more. Now, tell me, what is the first place new arrivals go to when they arrive in Vaikuntha?"

[peace_through_empathy]

"The Curti Center." Megatron replies, privately wondering if that's what certain species refer to as a "gimme" question.

[hatejakku]

It was indeed a "gimme" question. "Correct! Just one more now." The hamster wiggles and clears his throat.

"Final question. What does H.C.F.T.W.C.U.J. stand for?"

[peace_through_empathy]

Well, talk about whiplash. At least Megatron had been expecting a difficulty spike after the last question. Seconds tick by as he thinks. An acronym that long would have to be fairly significant. Not the name of a person, no country or city he can think of. So an ability? A power? Or maybe something else...a business of some sort? What kind of business would

-oh.

Megatron looks up. "Help Center For Those Who Cannot Use Jobs." He says with a satisfied grin. "I investigated working there. Thought I might be able to help figure out why certain people can't interface with the asterisk system." All the rocks being chucked at him while he inquired about possibly bringing his medical knowledge to help with the situation however and the general mood of the Center convinced him his services might be put to better use elsewhere, though.

[hatejakku]

Hmm. The hamster stares up at Megatron for a long moment before-

"I concede. Congratulations, you have earned yourself a Plasma Crystal."

Flash rolls away and returns hardly a second later, shoving a Crystal to Megatron's feet.

"Thank you for your time," the scholarly hamster says. "You have one minute and thirty seconds to leave the island."

Wait, what-

[peace_through_empathy]

"Thank you." Megatron says gratefully as he scoops up the crystal at his feet. "This was a most stimulating exercise, I appreciate the workout."

He's tucking the crystal away into his chest compartment when he's warned he only has a minute and a half to vacate the island. However, he remains calm. "Understood. Have a pleasant day."

And then he turns and walks-briskly-to his waiting skiff.
