He smiled at the happy bouncing girl and glanced down to the paper in his hand, "Ay, you are in the right place, love." He looked around at the small amount forming around him. Hmm... there were three others they were still waiting for. He glanced around the place, it didn't seem that anyone was really getting started yet... so he guessed it could wait. He was feeling rather competitive though, and this was putting a damper on things. But, he was the captain and he didn't want to cause a mutiny by being an a*****e. So, he waited.
Crimson looked up from the little group to see Celeste, "Hey there, lassie." He gave her a small smile and looked back around, "Two left." He sighed, this was taking soooo long. Or was it just his impatience? He tried to shake it off and glanced at Celeste, it seemed that their little date had gone well. At least well enough to not hate each other afterwords. That was good, right?

Jean Philip
Jean Philip was surprised at how selfish the little girl was..Well she wasn't that little..she was also rather cute. But she looked about 15...maybe 16 That was off limits! Or at least...maybe. He wasn't sure about the islands rules on that..He would have to ask Freddy on the rules of dating slightly younger chicks later..."Vell, its just candy, ve can get that at ze store.." He would keep going...but he wanted to see if there was going to be another cute girl or not.. And alas, there was! He smiled at Haruka, "Ah! Vhy 'ello there. I am John Philip." Wait..She seemed to be...Damn. Really? She looked young too..Well..flirting never hurt. but still. "Ve are waitings for ze rest of ze team to assemble."

   __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ - Blaire Vatonage, Camelia 'Cam' Grey, & Kaleb Roman - __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Blaire couldn't help but smile upon hearing that voice. So he was here after all. "Hey-" started the girl, slightly surprised by that... hug? Or something close to it. He had been moody lately, so it was nice. She had started to tell him something when Gaston's announcement came up. "Looks like it's starting. Luck" said the teenager, leaning up to give him a quick kiss before heading to her group. Oooh... damn it. Her group was a good one but... Keith... She had only gotten little tidbits of information from Conor, the conclusion? Things ended rough between them. That's about as far as she got. Hey! She wasn't dead! "Crimson. Hey~" A frown stayed on her face, at least until Crimson spoke up. "Sounds good to me." GreenMaroon Team? That could work. Cam glanced around to realize she didn't know anybody. She did however know how to listen closely, and at the mention of the GreenMaroon team by a brunette her attention shifted over there. Ah so there was her team! Stopping by the brunette, who was only three inches shorter than her, she nodded, as if she had been in the conversation all along. "The more working on this, the better" she commented, waiting to hear the clue. "Camelia Grey, by the way.""GreenMaroon? Kaleb reporting for treasure hunting" said the redhead as he approached the little group. Cam looked up at him to merely nod at that greeting before focusing on the clue once more. Hey this was a first for all of them.

Oh? Catrina was on the same team as him! “Miyav~! Come, come, kitten~” She coaxed eagerly to Yoakim Jr., who had his eyes on the man with the microphone curiously. His name.. was said by someone else.. That made him feel oddly happy. So, so.. so he had been noticed! He smiled softly to himself, happy to be in an actual group of someones that weren't Zap and Bull- … ..Zap. He felt the weight in his pocket for some consolation before glancing up at the older girl he was with, a little late for Catrina's taste as she proceeded to drag him off to where the only other kids were sitting. Florence followed easily enough behind the children. He wasn't as pretty as he was when he was in Gaston's care, his white fur not being nearly as white or soft as it once was, but he was still a freaking panda. That should be enough, fluffiness aside! The kids and bear came to a stop in a row beside who they guessed was Maxwell. He was the only other boy outside of Junior, after all.
Much to Catrina's displeasure, she was the oldest and yet.. she wasn't the leader! That wasn't right! The Murrow family were always the best of leaders! ..No, wait, they were sneaky, underhanded loners with no alliances. Oh, well, she guessed those would be horrible leaders. Better to be following behind. She nodded to herself with a now satisfied mew, listening in on what their leader had to say. Yoakim Jr, who was just happy to be a part of something, did the same. He was a good listener, especially since he did it every day! And nothing but that.. But, that still made him a good listener, right? ..Right.. He frowned and fiddled with his fingers, not understanding this at all. He thought they were looking for baskets, not defending the island from an attack! He paled and swallowed, while Catrina smiled widely – ooh!! This was so interesting! A war? In Nirvani? She bet even Neil didn't know about thaat.
“S-sorcerer..? Like, um.. like.. a magician..” Junior replied eagerly in a low tone which only lowered as he went on, giving a hopeful glance at Molly. They had been mentioned in the same sentence, which made them partners now, right?! ..If she even knew he was standing next to her.. He swallowed while Catrina purred her way into the conversation.
“Mjaau~?” Beast master..? She looked at Florence, who stared back at her blankly. She liked the sound of that! “Princess! Mew!” In a flash, she was beside Cindy and tugging on her arm towards the panda, “Princesses ride steeds, mjau!” She slapped her hand on the panda's upright back, somehow managing to signal Florence into standing back on all his legs again with a soft, confused sound. “Onto the steed, merow, merow?” She turned back to Cindy and started to lift her stiffly so she could start shoving her up onto the panda if the girl didn't struggle~
~~~
Conor had to ignore Keith. Because, ********, he didn't know what he would do if he didn't. That had been his friend for years. ..Who ******** replaced him in the blink of an eye. He couldn't have any guilt over this now, not when it was obvious the guy was doing just what Conor was. He looked at Blaire as she greeted him, forcing at least some kind of a smile in return to the one she gave. He doubted Keith had to deal with any of this baggage, though. Guy looked perfectly ******** happy with the other guy. That look he gave him? Before Conor walked away? That was just.. nothing. As if to emphasize that point, he made a move to deepen the quick peck Blaire gave him, but she had already started to walk off before he had a chance. He frowned and raised a hand slightly in a small wave, shoving the other into his pocket with a wince. Blaire was..
Oh, <********> Blaire was in Keith's – wait, ha, no, that didn't matter, did it? Keith didn't give a s**t about Blaire, he wouldn't care to do anything.. to her.. He swallowed and scratched at his upper arm. ..Nah, she was with, what, four others? They wouldn't let anything happen to a girl. He glanced over at where his group was, only managing to locate it because of Haruka. The b***h from last year – of course he was on the same team as hers! Everyone always ended up with a familiar face or two during these teams. He didn't recognize the other two with her, though. He raised an eyebrow at the green haired man, then to the blond girl. “'Kay, so.. We've got two bitches and one ******** f**. This it?” He glanced around to see if anyone else was coming, his eyes stopping at Keith and Blaire to watch them carefully as he forget the whole point to why he was looking in the first place.
~~~
Ah, so, Mao was the leader. Perfect. He wouldn't expect any less. The man took the envelope from the woman who handed it to him – just as it was snatched by another woman. His eyebrow twitched up in irritation, frown deepening as he drew his eyes towards the brunette who dared to take his clue. ..Oh, of course he recognized her! She was the daughter of that popular porn star – her picture had been in the paper during the woman's funeral. ..Of course, Holly Valentine had different hair then and wasn't dressed in nearly enough black, but Mao had been able to recognize his own nephew with breasts and in women's clothing, of course that wouldn't fool him. He didn't make a move to speak to her as she blubbered on in apology. But, to silently answer her, yes, he did hate her. Especially now.
With little hassle, he snatched the letter back from Holly as two women who he took to be Gemma and Camelia walk up, unless one of them had the unfortunate circumstance of being named Kaleb, to which he would guess the darker woman would be that and he would soon laugh at her for such a thing if she hadn't introduced herself first. ..Damn it. He was left to give them all a slow, critical look, then shrug and turn away. Useless. He read the clue to himself, then folded it and slipped it into his sleeve, keeping a hand there so no one else could snatch it away like Holly had. He looked back to them. “The school's principal's office.” He directed them before heading off just to that location, not caring whether they would follow or not. Judith was certainly among the wealthiest in every category he could think of, plus a school was a guide enough. ..And he really would like an excuse to rummage through her office.

    _________________________________________________________________ As was to be expected! Molly was separated from her big brother! Curses on being full of youth! Oh well, at least it'd be easy enough to be the smartest in her group... She paced over to the group of children, assuming this is where she belonged but spoke not a word... She was surveying the bunch to see if there was anyone worth being nice to... Probably not. There was a little blond though that looked like a prime target for her bossy behavior. It was all the better that he'd peered over at her. A fresh smirk slipped over her lips as she paced over to greet him, "Hey there, I'm Molly, what's your name?" oh yes, her fake niceness when she introduces herself... ~ "Huh? Oh..." this being Zachary's first time to participate in a festival really, he just kind of went with the flow. It seemed like he wasn't on that bad a team... There was a promise of someone that seemed at least somewhat close to his age on the team... What was her name though? Haruka he got it when she spoke... "Oh... uh... I'm, uh, Zach Boyer..." he half-assedly waved to his team, a bit awkward... This is what spending too much time with Gail and Molly did to the poor boy... At any rate, Conor's way of starting off the adventure as a team didn't really help with introductions... ~ Clark blinked a few times at the way Keith had behaved... He thought he vaguely remembered the man saying something about this Conor person before... Rambling about him being a jerk or whatever.. He couldn't remember the details but... oh... it seemed he'd have to deal with this anyways since... oh... he was stuck with the douche... He could tell by the way he was already talking about the rest of the team that he'd be beating the s**t out of at least one person today... After Zach made his introduction, Clark lurked jut slightly behind and to the side of Conor, "Clark Rothenburger here... call me 'rotten burger' and you'll regret it..." Nice introduction Clark, nice... Your social skills are so bad it's painful... but at least you aren't drunk like your brother. ~ At the mention of his name for what team he was on, Avien stumbled to his feet. He was... stuck with Keith? Well this couldn't be all bad could it? He was Clarks... uh... whatever he was. Avien didn't need to think about what the relationship was right now! He was too drunk to even understand how he knew Keith. Oh right, Clark... Hm, yes... Wait what? He stumbled over to the group, already having been introduced by Keith as the drunk emotional wreck pretty much... Touche... It was all true. _________________________________________________________________

==========
"Just candy? Just candy???" Lotte was stunned. How could that man think of it as just candy? What kind of a useless leader would he be if he didn't take that seriously? She should have been the leader! Leaders didn't need to know the answer to the clue, they just needed followers who did! She was about to punch him in the face stomach, when a girl introduced herself. Good! This was seemed reasonable. She grabbed Haruka's hand and shook it fast and strong. "Good to see you Haruka! I'm Lotte! The best treasure hunter/ Inventor/ Adventurer on the island! Nice to meet you, Bam!"
She had hopes for that girl! Hopes for her not to get in her way at least. She then walked were Conor was, listening to his introduction. She smiled at him, then kicked him in the groin, keeping her smile on her face. "BAM! Make it 3 bitches, b***h!" There. He shall now know his place in the world, that is, under her as a doormat. The other two that had joined them.... Mister Damsel and some big brainless man. She'd probbaly find a use for them later. "So, Salon?" She glanced at Jean, waiting his instruction. She wouldn't cause a mutiny by going there by herself.... well, not until the final egg, that is.

Crimson glanced over to the direction he heard his voice. "'Ello, Blaire." He nodded to her and was glad that she agreed that the fountain sounded like a great place to start. He gave another little nod at that, it was looking better. At about this time, the final person approached. Was he drunk? Seriously? Who in the world comes to a treasu-- well any festival for that matter. It was just soooo inappropriate! Oh well, there wasn't much he could do about it. "And I assume you are Avien." He smiled to the young man and left it at that.
His attention was soon drawn when his cigarette was pulled out of his mouth. He trailed up the hand to look at Keith questioningly then inhaled as it was placed back into his agape mouth. He watched Keith begin to walk away. "Since everyone is here and accounted for, off to the fountain we go." He smiled to everyone and placed his hands in his pockets, now walking close behind Keith.
___________________________________
Zelynity smiled to both of them, they seemed shy. It was kind of cute. "Well, the paper says... Where past and future collide. The present stays the same." She looked up from the paper to them and gave a little shrug, "All I can think of is the Ruins. So, unless you got anything else... I say we head there?" She smiled at them and placed the small paper in her pocket. She held her hands behind her back waiting there response, she wasn't going to leave without them! Why, that would be rude. And she'd be a terrible captain!

Jean Philip,David
Jean Philip wince when she Lotte punched the new kid in his most private area..What the hell was wrong with this kid! ..Either way he didn't really want his boys getting punched..Or his face. That was his money maker! He quickly took count and it seemed they had about everyone...Creepy little girl, cute (legal?)girl, now crippled boy, another dude...Damn. Sausage fest. What he was fearing. "Vell hello Zach 'nd clark.And...you.." He stared at Conor coldly, he didn't like this guy. One bit. He reminded him of the jocks who'd pick on him in school. "We 'ave everyone 'ere so lets us gets going to the Salons, I thinks thats wheres we need to go eh~?" He turned around and walked off to the Salon, hopefully his first guess would be right, this didn't seem like a group of people he'd want to regularly spend time with...
----
David smiled shly at the girl. She was really friendly... And very cute...As for the clue..It made no sense at all. Kinda sounded like a drunk rambling..but that didn't matter! He didn't care about the prize, the adventure with an adorable girl like her would be good enough! And the ruins sounded like a fun place! In a creepy sort of way! "I-..I..uh thats a great idea..I can't think of anything else, s-so we should go there..." He smiled blushing slightly at just being around a girl and looked down at his shoes...As what he normally did when nervous. "L-lead the way then...?"

Now Gemma was quite upset she didn't fall in the same team as Crimson, she imagined he'd be a much nicer team leader. Or, well, he could be barking orders right now, for all she knew. She didn't even know him that well, but she certainly didn't mind a tall guy to come to her defense if somebody would order her to crawl into a tiny, cramped space; where nobody else would fit. If that were to happen, she could very well just throw all the responsibility on Mao.
He was pretty short, and didn't leave a very good first impression. Yes, manipulate the events so that Mao would not seem likable to the rest, and therefore, send him into those cramped and hard to reach places! Everyone else was pretty tall, so it would fall on Mao or herself to go into any kind of crawling space. And it certainly wasn't going to be her that dirtied the shins of her pants!

Was she.. she was! She was looking at him! Yoakim's stomach twisted up, fluttered, and lurched all at once. Another kid was actually talking to him! He clenched his jaw and looked at the ground to avoid eye contact, though his bangs did that enough from at least the other's perspective. He opened and shut his mouth, mumbling more than a few things out in a voice lower than a whisper, but if she could hear it, it would only be stutters. What did he say?! Her name was Molly – he knew that! She went to school like everyone else! He looked back over at her, lowered his head once more and gave a small, nervous smile. She was smiling at him! Not even Mitsukai smiled at him~! His throat felt dry, so he swallowed, hardly noticing that Maxwell had started to walk off. “Yoa.. Yoakim.. B-but, but.. It's.. n-not my.. first name..” He drifted off, eyes darting this way and that from under that mess of hair. Did the other kid leave..? He saw the cat-girl with the princess, but the boy.. Oh, well, he was being talked to! Eggs weren't as important as the potential for a human friend!
~~~
Clark. Rottenburger. ...Conor snorted. That was a ******** shitty name! He didn't know that people could be called something like that! He thought LeBlanc was funny.. Of course, he was, what, nine when he first heard it? Still, not like there was much difference from then and now. He glanced at Zach, then to Haruka, then to the nameless b***h just before a leg shot up between his knees and he crumbled to the ground with a string of hissed curses. The ******** was up with that s**t?! Why – he hadn't done any ******** thing wrong! Not yet, anyway! He was being good! He thought he was! Or.. or maybe – ah, <********> that hurt! He clenched his teeth to prevent a whimper and stayed still as the rest of the group started to walk off, or at least the leader and the b***h did. It took a good few minutes before he even started to stand up, taking even longer with the action. ..He was really starting to hate bitches. Even <********> wouldn't cross that line. He mumbled something more to himself, most likely something derogatory towards the blond, but he went quiet beyond that. With his hands balled up in his pockets, he glowered at the group while they headed to the salon. He just prayed that Blaire hadn't seen that. Or, worse- ...No, just Blaire. He stole a look to the BlueGold team before heading after his own team with as much pride as he had left.
~~~
Once the team or, whoever had decided to follow him, reached the school, Mao found that the office was locked. Of course, it wasn't a school day, so it was bound to be closed. Still, the man was determined. With his sleeves covering his hand, he gave a few tugs to the door before he backed up a few steps to look over who was there. Even if it was just a simple game, he was still the leader, yes? That meant he could control the peons like he did with Mei and Zhi every time he saw the girls. Women always were such good hiders! He should congratulate them for that, but he never saw the use for hide and go seek. “You.” He pointed to Kaleb – only other male of the group, though he had heard rumors about Holly.. Still, Kaleb looked more fit than any satanic, nervous-wreck of a woman. “Open the door. I don't care how – kick it open if you must.” It was all he would be good for, anyway. Plus, Mao wouldn't get blamed for any vandalism if it was Kaleb's doing~

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ - Blaire Vatonage, Camelia 'Cam' Grey, & Kaleb Roman - __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This... Well... Blaire was trying to decide if this was a better start than last year. Though they were right on track to somewhere, one of the members was drunk and the other didn't seem to like anyone so... At least they weren't panty-raiding a house. Maybe they'd be right about the fountain? Now with Crimson being the only person she knew... she'd be sticking close to the man. And to keep Conor's mind at ease, she had focused on her team and hadn't been there to watch that... low blow."Hey!" Cam could only look at Mao, keeping her hands in the air at the only sign of protest she could think of that didn't mean insulting the Chinese guy. He didn't even let them see the clue! Oh he'd get his... For now she'd follow, even if she didn't like not knowing what they would be doing. She did raise an eyebrow once they were at the school. He was serious? Oh he-? Cam couldn't help but laugh incredulously at that. Quietly though."Is that legal?" asked the man, taking turns to eye the doctor and the door. Could he do this? Well... Kaleb shrugged slightly, answering his own question before trying to open the door, the civilized way. After that came the forcing inside way. It took him a bit to figure out the door's weak point and ramming was just what got it open. Well it would've if Cam hadn't stopped him and handed him a card to finish the job. Why break it when you could sneak in? Besides, after the first hits the door would open just a bit, enough to let the card swipe finish it. "There we are." Was this really necessary? Then again Mao was determined to get inside. They just had to be sure this was the right place.

Zelynity nodded to David, "Follow meee~" She gave a big nerdy smile and began towards the Ruins. That made sense right? She had no other idea where to go... The past was there right? It was the Ruins... that meant old. And the future would be...? Uhhh... okay. That part didn't make any sense at all. Well, this was just crap. She couldn't even figure out the first clue... How in the WORLD would she know something like that. She was new... she deserved an EASIER clue... Okay, now she was just begging for pity. She needed to get over it. So she manned up and left the area, the Ruins weren't all too far. Hopefully this was it... She became more nervous with every step. David couldn't think of anything else... and she didn't even have a backup plan. She let out a sigh and continued walking.
Headed toooooo~

They hadn't have a long way to go to get to the fountain, considering that it was right next the the town square. Keith was a bit angry at the fact that Blair hadn't decided to have a heart attack and just die right there instead of following them, but he could always keep ignoring her. At least she had kept her mouth shut during their small walk. Arriving there, he sat down on a bench, let his head fall back, staring at the sky and waited for the others. Crimson was right behind him, but some (Avien) were taking their (drunken) time to walk. "Anyone sees a basket full of eggs?" He asked, not noticing the blue basket floating in the fountain. This was getting depressing. He really should have stayed home. Of all things, to be stuck with Blair and Avien... ********. Only thing worst than that would be including Conor in the group. Thanks god he wasn't there. He'd have probably went into panic attact mode and started stabbing himself repeatedly.
