Welcome to Gaia! ::

It took the alchemist a while to actually get back to the booth: the passage was far too small for her, but finally she managed to sneak in and check the space around the hidden door, with zero luck, though.

Finally, her efforts granted her some luck: scaring away an unknown scareon minipet that slept over a pile of what could be demon's horns, she did found a sweet! This scareon was probably saving it for themselves..

3rd candy!

Looking through the piles of junk and garbage, Eisheth spotted a whole lot of interesting things, but no candies, unfortunately. There were minipets, charms, artifacts, papers, almost everything, but not even a single piece of a Candy fluff. Spending a good hour the horseman felt tired and annoyed, and was actually slowly getting enraged. Looks like it was in candy's interest to be found asap.

Freya was back. Ohhh, she was back with everything on the list! She started putting down all of her finds, and took out those she had to take a picture of in her cameraphone, to show them off.

She pulled out the love letter to someone she didn't know. Then her left shoelace. And her picture of something shiny, Danny's demon horns, and something that flies. She handed in her box of treats, and lastly showed the picture of a sign, and a green minipet.

Then she pulled out her own lemon tart treat that she had won, for her yellow minipet. "And lasts but not leasts.. someone with blue eyes." She pointed proudly to herself. "Me!"

STATION 3 CLEARED

When Eisheth returned to the booth it was empty: just the way it was in the beginning. Could it be that she wasn't the only one looking for a treasure and combined efforts of all the participants looking for candies cleared everything out?... No, that doesn't make sense: where did everything, including sleeping treats, go then? Something was strange about the events here, something was definitely strange... According to the map she had to go to the... bathroom?... No wait, it wasn't bathroom. In fact, it was nothing. After a little walk around the alchemist returned to the same place again; observing the empty counter she couldn't help feeling somebody is watching her right now and laughing their a** out.

Already getting used to search for clues in all the possible locations, she finally found a new list of paper with some mysterious letters on it. Looks like the trick with a little walk was prepared for an owner to appear and leave her a message: well, then. Let's keep playing the game, if we already got that far, she concluded.

It took her next half an hour to figure out what kind of message was actually hidden in the note; when she did that her eyes rolled, and her eyebrows slowly moved up. She was right from the beginning: the owner is a little prankster! But hey, what else one should expect from a ToTer?.. it's their job, in the first place.

Finding what was required now appeared to be quite a hard task: in normal situation the alchemist would have been lost, but thankfully it was a big festival running around, and almost all sorts of thing could be found with a bit of efforts. So, in 30 minutes she was able to return with a bag full of THINGS.

Kwasi had elected to end up taking pictures of most of the scavenger hunt items. For a while he had been thinking of bringing them all back, then thinking it over, realized that dragging an irate deamon over to the booth and telling them to stand there until he got a prize for their horns wasn't going to work. And removing one to bring back wasn't going to happen. So he had taken the photos, brought them back to his room, printed them out, stapled them together, and brought them back. Shockingly well thought out and organized, for anyone who knew the monster.

First on the list was a box of treats from Desu's booth.
Second was a blurry shot of a shoe, laces visible.
Third was a shot of the deamon that ran the trading card booth's head, focusing on his horns.
Forth ... well after squinting at it for a while it was possible to make out the back end of a green pom disappearing into a snowbank.
Fifth was a photo of the small twittering angry looking ball of yellow fluff that now sat on Kwasi's shoulder, pecking at him occasionally.
Sixth was a shot of a singlesilver pumpkin seed, a prize he won at a booth he frequented.
Seventh was a photo of a slip of paper. It said 'Put out the fires of oppression.'. Where had he got that?
Eighth was dark and very badly out of focus, but it was possible to see a firefly sitting on a table, turned towards the camera. Kwasi had taken a photo of himself.
The second last was a hurried snap of the Treasures!!! sign that hung above the booth.
Last was a photo of a playing card. On it was a picture of a reaper with vivd blue eyes.

Freya found herself deeper into the rabbit hole, standing in front of a table in a tent and wondering just what she was thinking going this far into a booth. But the task was clear, and she was determined to succeed, regardless! So she began to collect the candies, putting them away as quickly as she could.

Not even a single candy found after that first one. Freya was starting to think this was all a trick. Maybe there was no candy. Maybe there was only one candy, and the trick was to make people look forever. Maybe that's why this booth was so deep.. and creepy.. and.. oh. Look. A candy.

Candies found: 2
