Crimson smirked she seemed like such a nice girl. He would never initiate a conversation like this, but it was still a nice change. He kept his gaze focused on the crowd, but paid attention to her all the same.
He gave a small chuckle, finding it a little hard to believe that that was still on her mind, "I think you are correct Ms. Rhodes. It is Miss, right?" He honestly felt kind of rude in thinking that a woman her age was single. But, he was, and they were around the same age, no? "But, I do believe that is it, love. Although I have seen my fair share of adults crying over pets, too. It's just more common, lassie." He nodded, he did love talking about his work. At least it didn't end like the first time he met Amanda. That was just awful. But, he had always been one to ramble.

He – wait, were they heading this way? Should he run? Ah, ********, he should run! Why? It was just Keith! ******** Keith. He didn't care! No. ..But wasn't Blaire waiting for him? He had to go catch her before they sort people. So, no, he wasn't ******** running, he was going to go find Blaire who was.. He glanced around. There! Without anymore word to the other, he got to his feet and stared at Keith. ..Well, of course, sitting around and thinking gave the other pair of pricks time to get close enough to the bush so they could strike matches. ..In the most sad, pathetic way Conor had ever seen anyone with a pair of matches. He was tempted, maybe from habit, to take the matches and light them up for Keith, but then he remember that this wasn't the right time to show someone how to ******** strike a match.
They had a good distance from each other, but.. this was still the closest he had ever been to Keith in ******** weeks. It was weird, awkward – up until he saw the ******** he was with and snorted with a small kick to the drunk below in irritation. He turned and headed, almost hurriedly, off to where his Blaire was waiting. “Blaire!” Did he call her on purpose? ..Maybe. ********, if he could, he would have dragged her back to the bush and made out just for the cigarette. But, he settled on wrapping an arm around her and holding her idly in greeting, staring pointedly in the opposite direction Keith had been in.
~~~
At the center of the square, Gaston had departed from Mao's side to reach the microphone. With a quick glance around the – oh, there it was! He found the list that replaced the slips of paper he had done last year, written on it was mysteriously everyone that was to participate that year and which team they went with. Without further ado, he tapped the microphone to get everyone's attention and announced the teams. “Hello, peasants! The teams for this year's Treasure Hunt is as follows.
For the BlueGold Team, the leader will be Crimson Skizo. The rest of the group is Fredrick Murrow, Blaire Vatonage, Celeste Trelawny, River Park, Avien Rothenburger, and Keith LeBlanc. The first clue will be handed to the leader right now.” A servant hurried over to Crimson to hand him the first clue for his team..
'A penny's worth is a penny's wish.' “For the SteelSky Team, the leader will be Zelynity Niami. The rest of the group is David King and Andrew Knight. The first clue is being handed over to the leader now.” Another servant dashed over to Zelynity to hand her an envelope containing the first clue.
'Where Past and Future Collide. The Present stays the same.' “For the CrimsonOrchid Team, the leader will be Jean Philip. The rest of the group is Conor Alvey, Lotte von der Bach, Haruka Koyama, Clark Rothenburger, and Zachary Boyer. The clue should be handed to Jean now..” Another of the various servants moved over to Jean to hand him an envelope.
'So, you wake up. And you look at yourself in the mirror. What do you see? A pathetic excuse of a human being, that's what you see! How could someone who looks like you have any hope of winning anything, seriously?' “For the GreenMaroon Team, the leader will be Mao Xiqui. The rest of the group is.. Gemma Rhodes, Camelia Grey, Holly Valentine, and Kaleb Roman. As usual, the clue is being handed over to the leader now.” A burly bodyguard headed over to Mao to hand him a letter.
'To decide whether you should rise or fall, one should go seek guidance from the wealthiest of all.' “For the Salmon Team, the leader will be Maxwell Knight. The rest of the children are Yoakim Jr. Waldroup, Molly Boyer, Catrina Murrow, Cindy King, and Florence.. I?” Gaston raised an eyebrow and glanced in the direction of the panda bear. Odd. He thought he met him before.. Oh, well. Jade, since the other servants were busy, headed over to Maxwell and handed him an envelope.
'Row, row, row your boat~'

He knew he should have forgotten the boy already. He knew he should care. He knew that he would just bring even more trouble than Keith should want. He knew that the boy didn't care at all for him. Yet, he knew that he didn't give a damn about all that. Even now, even as he was standing right next to Clark, who he had tried so hard to make a Conor replacement of, he couldn't stop but wanting the other boy. Keith had been the one leaving, but it wasn't without any reason. He knew that it had been the right decision, that he couldn't stay with Conor any longer, nor that he should return to him. It was only that awfully nagging voice in the back of his mind, telling him that, even thought he shouldn't do it, that he still wanted and could do it. But no. No. He wouldn't go back to him. Why? Because all what had happen would just happen again. There was no escaping it. Conor didn't care about him, had only used him. Anyay, he didn't needed him anymore, as he had Blair now. The real person Conor Alvey cared somewhat about, other than himself.
Conor was the first one to make a move. He turned around and ran back to... Yeah, to Blair. Of course. Of. ********. Course. Where else would he go too than his stupid whore of a girlfriend? He looked down, not really knowing what to say, what to think, what to feel. Everything, anything, nothing made sense anymore for him. He had thought he had been over that phase already, but seeing Conor had proven him wrong. "...That was Conor..." That was all he could say to Clark, before turning around and seeing his ex-friend holding his whore, not even bothering looking back toward Keith. "And that's Blair..." ******** them all.
He started to walk away, turning around and rejoining Clark once more. He looked left and right, not really knowing what he was supose to do in his confusion. "Uh, yeah.. Team... You should, go to your team.. uh... I'll see you later... at your place... if it's okay with you... uh.. yeah.. ********> He turned around once more, walking away toward his team, forgetting to take back the cigarette that he had given Clark to hold. Strangly, for the first time in that last 5 years, cigarette was far from being the first thing on the boy's mind.
Who was his team? He hadn't really paid attention.. he just knew that his name had been called for the first team and that the big guy had been the one receiving the first clue, so that was were he as suppose to go. He just hoped this time that it was wasn't going to be like last year Panties Raiding. ********, no. Who else was there? 2 Guy he didn't knew, 2 girls he didn't knew and him... strange... he had the feeling that there was someone else he should be worrying about... Still.. he couldn't quite put his finger on it, his brain still being way too confused for his own good right now. He was still thinking about Conor and Blair....Blair....
==================================
Lotte had been staring at David, still tapping her foot on the ground, awaiting a reaction of some sort. Yet, the boy hadn't moved at all since she had punched him in the stomach. That could only mean one thing. "Oh,BAM! I killed him... Not an other one.. Err... Stay there! You'll get eaten by a bear or something! Won't hurt if you're dead!" Comforting words straight from Lotte's mouth! Oh well, he was only a small casualty in the grand scheme of things. With some luck, whatchamacallit would have been an opposing team member. She had only taken cared of the competition! She ran to where her team was suppose to be. Arriving there first, she pressed her right hand on her hips and glared him down... er... up, concidering he as a good head and half taller than her. "Zam! Why should YOU midget be the learder, eh? I should be the leader, BAM! I'M BETTER THAN YOU! Gimme that clue!" She snatched the envelope of Jean's hand and started to read it. The ********? That didn't make any sense! "Yo! Is that a sick joke? Are you calling me ugly or somethig? OH' I AM SO GOING TO KILL YOU, YOU FREAK! KABOUM!"

Cindy, Jean Philip,David
"Erm, tis Jean Philip. Nots vust Jean.." He said rather annoyed, he didn't introduce himself as Jean! Or as Philip! HE was Jean Philip! And he wanted to be called as such.It sounded more cultured you see. .He looked down at the envelope and cocked his eye at the clue. The hell kind of clue was this? This was more a slash at his self esteem! Well, it was for the whole group...Did that mean it was a shitty group..? Most of the names sounded like dude names...maybe one chick...his group...which..He looked around not really sure who anyone in the group was...It was strange to him he would be the leader...Well, it worked for him! He did play a pretty mean dungeon master...
"Team CrimsonOrchid! Assemble!" He yelled, hoping his team would gather...and maybe be a nice group of people. So far everyone he had met had been very nice, erm..one person, but still it was a nice record! He looked down again at the clue..Hm..It was pretty much saying his group was full of ugly people..And where do ugly people go to get pretty..."Hmm...Team CrimsonOrchid! I thinks I 'ave figures outs de clue, its says ve are all very ugly ands musts go to ze salon to vevcome acceptable! So I say that we go there!" He said and began to walk towards the salon.
_______
Cindy frowned slightly and pufffed , why was Maxwell the leader? She was the flippin princess! How dare they undermine her authority! Oh well.,.They must know that Sir Maxwell was under her authority and did as she said! Seeing how she was princess..Yes. That must be it. Still, she was still rather upset..She wanted the envelop...She wanted the other children to know she was the princess.."So Sir Maxwell, where do you purpose we go?" She stood on her tippy toes and read over his shoulder. I think we should find a boat! See. Row row row your boat, we clearly need to find a boat!" She said smiling.
_______
David had been stunned by the punch in the stomach, the hell just happened?! H..he had been touched by a girl...A very pretty girl. The pain was numbed away from just the shock of a pretty girl touching him! Sure..i.It was a punch and it would hurt here in a few moments..but..She wanted him to be her minion?! His face turned a bright red, mostly from pain this time, but also the simple fact she said minion, that meant maybe a sort of friend? O..Or friend with benefits..or..Wait, she walked away!? She can't be leaving they had just met! He opened his mouth to call her back and tried to step forward...just to fall face down on the ground. There it was...The pain. He coughed a bit trying to talk after having the wind knocked out of him, he stretched his arm out weakly "W-..w..ait..Lotte..guugrg.." And she was gone. Just like that....He didn't even get to say hi..He stayed face down on the floor trying not to be a cry baby...He sniffled and began crawling away from his lost chance at love, in the direction of Andrew.

Treasure Hunt ❤ ❤ ❤(Frederick K. Murrow) (Maxwell) (Holly) (Andrew)
Frederick poked his fingers together, hearing he's stuck in a team with Celeste. It was faith dammit! Then again it could also be faith that she's stuck in a team with Crimson, that pretty boy... With his charming good looks, addiction to cigarettes, and fully functional brain! That's what women wanted, smokers with brains that weren't filled with nerdness! That's a word, right? It had to be, he just thought it... Frederick walked over to his group, or mostly the leader; Crimson, and had his arms crossed, defensively. "So uh, what does it say?"
_____
Andrew stared bitterly as his friend was approached and hit by a girl. A girl! Why was David so popular all of a sudden? Is it because he started using conditioner? When his team was announced, he looked over at Zelynity, and slowly walked towards her, before stopping a rather odd distance from her. Blushing a bright red as he did. This was as close to her as he was going to get.
_____
Luckily for Holly, she was standing right in front of Mao, so she just had to turn around and walk over to him.. then snatched the clue away quickly, read it, and handed it back. She was powered by Satan now, she didn't have to be polite! she even had a mean little smirk for doing that.. which slowly faded into a really pathetic apologetic one. "I'm sorry for snatching it for five seconds! That was mean. I'm sorry for being mean, you don't hate me do you?! Of course not, you don't even know my name and can't tell who I am because of my wig, so how can you possibly hate someone you don't know? I'm Holly, hello! So what do you think? I don't know. It's weird, isn't it weird?" She said very quickly, adding a very rushed laugh, before continuing. "I sacrificed a lot of little critters this morning, so I'm glad to say our team will win with the help of Satan, so we can sit back and watch us win." Mostly rodents who kept trying to get into the Inn.. still weird.
_____
And so, our grand quest begins, with the handing of the envelope, our Quest has began, and our party is united.
Maxwell opened the envelope and read his small clue. "It appears to be a trap. The information handed to us says that Nirvani Island is being under attacked by an army of Lawful Evil Necromancers, in the docks. They are using a heavily armored and very powerful ship known as the Row. Our only hope of survival and chance of defeating the great threat, is to combine our efforts and use a great power that we must first obtain at the Clinic..." He now scanned his team.
"I am Maxwell, the Paladin. This is Cindy, our Princess and Ranger. You two must be the Sorcerer and the Cleric." He said, looking at Yoakim Jr and Molly. "We are also accompanied by a..." He raised his eyebrow at Catrina. "...Beast Master and her pet Bear." He added, seeing Florance nearby Catrina. "Together we shall be known as the Fellowship of the Treasure Hunt, now, to the clinic for the explosives we require to defeat this vast army of evil." He now turned away from the group, and started walking off to the clinic, to buy some fireworks from the crazy people there. Someone should have really thought it through before having Maxwell be their leader...

Gemma believed she'd never get married, because after the 'first time' with that person... well, the thrill goes away. And Gemma is left unsatisfied afterwards, very much so. She was more cut out for brief romances, unless she stumbled on the fabled 'soul mate' or whatever. She didn't believe that crap, though. One person in the universe just for you? Hogwash!
"Do you have lollipops in you're office?" Gemma asked, totally random. "I've found that sweets, particularly suckers, work well with children. Although, now that I think about it... they would have just lost they're pet, they won't want lollipops. Or anything sweet to the tongue, for that matter. Just salty, like they're tears... or something." she rambled, unthinking.
"Yeah, forget the lollipops." Gemma flicked her wrist dismissively, like swatting the imaginary thought bubbles away. "Maybe--?" Gemma started saying, being interrupted by Gaston's announcement. This irritated her, as she hated to be interrupted, and much more so by an huge idiot. If the Cooking Festival had been any clue, on that matter. He was clearly a poor excuse of a mayor, if not for his huge amounts of cash and such.
"Oh, it seems like our time together is over." Gemma frowned slightly, quite upset by this revelation; they were on opposite teams. Well, whoop tee ta. She stood up slowly, looking around for a moment. She turned back to Crimson, looking puzzled. A confused look seemed to really come naturally to her, by any means.
"Do you know who Mao Xiqui is, by any chance?"
And then an odd boy came up toward them, which was very surprising. But he seemed to be in Crimson's team, and she merely looked at the crimson haired man and raised an eyebrow. Then looked back at the younger man, before settling on Crimson again. Waiting for his answer.
[[Had to edit, because of Frederick... not much, though]]

Crimson couldn't help but laugh at Gemma, especially after her little tears thing. "I'll take that into consideration, maybe keep them away from the blubbering kids, eh, lassie?" He let out a louder laugh and then glanced over to Gaston that was going on about something. Ah, the festival was beginning! "Ay, I see that it has, love." He gave her a nod and then glanced over to the man that had approached, he recognized the man from the vet before.
"I do apologize, lassie, but I don't recall meeting them." He gave her a shrug then turned his attention to Frederick. "'Ello there Mr. Murrow." He smiled at him with his unbelievable for a smoker white teeth. He then looked down to the paper that he spoke of, "Oh, of course, mate." He chuckled softly and began to read the clue aloud. "It says, a penny's worth is a penny's wish. But, I know Blaire and Celeste... Do you know who Keith LeBlanc, River Park, or Avien Rothenburger is?" He looked from the slip back to Frederick, hoping he knew these people, he honestly didn't want to leave them out when he thought he had an idea of where to start looking for this one...
___________________________________
Zelynity closed her sketchpad once the mayor began talking. She stood to her feet and rubbed the dirt off of her butt. She was honestly a bit bewildered when she heard that she was going to be the captain of a team, and of people she didn't know. Oh, there was that delicious green-haired male, whose name she still didn't recall ever obtaining. But nonetheless he wasn't on her team and she needed to get this egg thing figured out! She had to win this!
She smiled to the person that handed her the paper, "Thank you." She then unfolded it quickly to read the clue, 'Where Past and Future Collide. The Present stays the same.' Hmm... She then looked over to the two young boys standing just close enough to cause her to believe that they were on her team. "Umm, excuse me?" She gave them a soft smile and approached them. She stopped a mere foot from them, "Are you... David and Andrew?" She tilted her head gently at the end of her question. Hopefully they had some wit to them, she was at a loss with the first clue... this was so unacceptable.

Cindy, Jean Philip,David
Jean Philip jumped slightly as he just noticed the girl. Huh, how could he have not noticed her..? Oh. Right. She was a girl he couldn't do things too, so why would he even notice her? If he did, he'd be a *****! "Vell, I'm pretty sure thats is the right one eh? Vhat else could et be?" He continued to walk then paused...Maybe he shouldn't go without the group... Him going with a little kid all by himself to somewhere to get her candy? That was wrong. So wrong. He stopped walking and crossed his arms trying not to pout, ""Hm..Vell maybe your right, ve should wait for ze others...." And he wanted to see if there was another girl in his group..He hopped so.
_______
David glanced up at the voice, it was a girls...His face reddend and he quickly tried to pull himself up. So she was the leader of the team? S..she was cute. Really cute..Why did this island have so many cute girls!? Although she was cute, she paled in comparison to his beloved Una... But...Then again..pink hair. He brushed the dirt off his chest and stood up straight. Being so close to a girl was always so hard..At least Andrew was in his group too, and it looked like it was just the three of them..."...erm....yeah I'm Uh..David..."

==========
"What? Waiting? Kabam! The other team will beat us if we wait! And we'll have to share! Do you really want to share with ten other people?" She asked him as she learned foward. She looked really silly, trying to act all high and mighty when the boy she was lecturing was over a feet taler than her. Damn her mother for being a short woman! Why couldn't her mother had been tall like Frja! Then she would have been tall. Oh well, she was small, she could be...sneaky~. "Know anyone else? Cause I sure don't! Useless people! I don't bother with useless people!"

Although she didn't like young anything to speak obscenely, this one gave her something of a feeling. Intuition kicking in, though Gemma didn't fully understand it. It was just a feeling that this boy sure was somebody to avoid, or to not anger, in any case. "Thank you..." she said with a little more caution, before turning on her heel and walking over to Mao.
"You are Mao Xiqui, correct?" Gemma asked, though her eyes darted to the space of black right next to him. What an odd girl. Black didn't suit her at all! She seemed more for the type of bright colors, not darker ones. And what breasts! They were even bigger than Gemma's! Must be fake... yeah, definitely.
"I am Gemma Rhodes, and I am also part of the GreenMaroon Team. Oh, is that the clue, may I see?" Gemma asked, her eyes trailing down at the paper. Not like she knew much of the Town, but maybe it was something anybody could figure out? Hopefully, it was the latter. Otherwise, she'd be completely useless in this competition. After a moment, she outstretched her hand to the short man, looking at him with expectancy. It's not like he'd be some condescending a**, right? He was short, and quite unpleasant to look at. If he did, he must be compensating for... something.

Crimson smiled to Keith, "Nice to have you aboard, mate." He then listened to all this male had to say, boy he sure was a feisty one. Hopefully he had some brains to back up his mouth. He nodded towards the direction of the Avien character then looked over to where Blair was standing with the young man. "Um, I believe you are mistaken. Blair is standing right over there." He extended his index towards her direction. "But, anyway. I think I may know where we need to go. So, as soon as we have everyone accounted for we can head out. Unless there are any other suggestions as to where we should start?"

Haruka couldn't help but let out a relieved sigh when the teams were announced. Thank god, she wasn't leader this time. Last year... well, that hadn't been fun. She wasn't a natural born leader. And hadn't that kid Conor pretty much done most of the work anyway? At least this time she could stand off to the side without feeling guilty.
She heard some guy with green hair yelling for her team, and so she headed over to who she assumed was Jean Phillip, plus some other girl. "Team CrimsonOrchid?" she asked as she stopped next to them, though she didn't wait for an answer before introducing herself. "I'm Haruka."
River was excited! The hunt had started! She glanced around for her group, but.... honestly, she didn't know anyone here. Oh, silly River, that's what you got for not making new friends~ She placed her hands on her hips and scanned the square. Her leader was name was Crimson... Hey, there was a guy with red hair! That looked pretty Crimson! Actually, now that she looked closer, it looked like there were two guys with red hair! That must have been it~ For a brief moment River wondered how the people sorting the teams knew that she, too, had naturally red hair, but she shrugged it off as she hurried over to the group. "Hello~ I'm River!" she greeted them cheerfully as she bounced over. "Are you guys my group?" she tilted her head to the side as she looked from Crimson to Keith, and back again. Oh wait, there was someone else, too! She looked over to Frederick as well and smiled excitedly.

Woah. That guy had a really good sound system. His announcement had been louder than her music, which was a feat since her music was blasting right into her ear drum. Unhealthy yes. But she liked to indulge every once and a while. Turning off her music she pulled the earbuds from her ears just in time to hear that she was one of the "rest" in Crimson's group.
She looked around until she found Crimson in the crowd, his hair was hard to miss, and with a slight lifting of the corner of her lips, she made her way over to her treasure hunting group. She approached the group as another girl was introducing herself. Trying not to interrupt she moved up behind Freddy and balanced on her tip toes to look over his shoulder at the clue that another guy in their group had passed to him. "Hello Freddy. Nice to see you again." She said with a smile once River had finished introducing herself. Her smile going slightly crooked she looked over at Crimson. "You again." She said jokingly before turning to the others in the group. "Hello, I'm Celeste. It's nice to meet you all." Based on her count they were still missing two people. She wondered if the other red head was Avien or Keith, but she didn;t want to ask since she had been late getting to the group. She'd find out soon enough though.
