The Scavenger Hunt (8 ) : Destiny City is hosting an annual scavenger hunt during the Star Festival to encourage people to get out and explore their city. The prize for turning in a completed scavenger hunt is a coupon booklet and a few free tickets to upcoming city events. Even if you aren’t interested in the prize, the scavenger hunt is specifically designed to take you through the city to showcase a few historic buildings, some art installations, and some of the city’s greatest accomplishments. While many of the places are familiar, during your explorations you come across a building you’ve never seen before--something that feels out of time. You’ve been in the area countless times before, so how did you miss this place? When you lay eyes on the building, you feel a strange timelessness and have the distinct sensation of being a part of something bigger. Briefly, you may see flashes of some distant past--a flickering memory that you can’t quite place or fully form. It’s hard to make out, but at some point in time you have the distinct impression of a faded figure taking your hand and telling you to do something. They sound hopeful and encouraging, like they really believe in you. By the time you blink, the visions are gone, the building is gone. The only thing that remains is a beautiful little garden and a plaque so faded that you can’t make out the inscription.
I have.... no idea where any of this is...
That's all Mina could think as she stared down at the scavenger hunt paper. The coupon book was her main goal since it would help cut costs on stuff she needed for class and for around her apartment. Pulling out her phone, she stood awkwardly by one of the lamp posts as she tried googling some of the locations on the list. It was a bit harder than she thought it would be since she didn't really know the proper versus local names for things.
After a bit of digging, she turned back in the other direction and began walking towards the first building on the list, which was an old local library that had been around forever. After getting a stamp on her sheet from a person sitting at a table just out front. The next place was another historic building but no matter how she tried looking it up, she couldn't find the right thing on her map app.
Internally groaning she looked around at the other people standing by with the look of someone who was completely and utterly lost. One day she was going to actually get around to exploring the city more, especially after this whole starfest thing.
