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.

"In the sky." Wait. More specific. The city with the observatory. "Cloud City."

[hatejakku]

"Correct," the hamster answers, seemingly proud. "Two more. Here's your next question.

"What happens to a hamster upon death?"

[righthandstand]

"It dies, doesn't it?" That was obvious. Too obvious. Was this hamster going easy on him because he's an idiot? But that can't be it. Everyone dies when they are killed.

"Unless, like, they turn into a zombie or somethin'. That'd be pretty damn scary." And now he's going to never step foot on this island again.

[hatejakku]

The hamster's ear twitches and he's quiet for a moment. But then- "That's correct. We do become zombies or the undead, whatever you would like to call it. Now then-" I guess we're just glossing over that. "-Last question.

"What is your name?"

[righthandstand]

Oh shit. These guys are unbeatable. He could die if he doesn't answer the question right--

"Huh?" Now this had to be a joke. "Okuyasu Nijimura, duh. You got somethin' to say about it?" Next, the hamster was going to declare that he was going to die.

[hatejakku]

Hmm. The hamster stares up at Okuyasu 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 Okuyasu's feet.

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

Wait, what-

[righthandstand]

He squats to pick up the crystal, never taking his eyes off the hamster. It looks real. The hamster is still standing there. These guys are jokes.

Unless that threat to kill him is real.

"The hell are you talking about?" Nevermind that whoever is on the boat is yelling at him to come back ASAP.

[hatejakku]

"One minute," the hamster responds. Flash is jumping up and down in his little hamster ball.

[righthandstand]

Was that hamster locked up for rodent crimes? Was he the one murderer that ruined the hamsters' reputation? No, wait, they were pretty okay with siccing a death biter on some dude.

"...See ya!" He disappeared, then reappeared twenty feet away before bolting for the ship.
