[text] @keeper; EVENT POST: GATHER UP [open]

[beaconkeeper]

Hi everyone! I'm Robin, or the Lighthouse Keeper, for those of you I haven't talked to yet. Hello hello! Welcome to Beacon!

Sooooo I know it's been pretty dark and gloomy these past few weeks. :( I hope the little thing Rastus set up with the paper boats helped. That was like, totally his idea! And really pretty to see from up here, I gotta say.

But! I want to get some ~*~positivity~*~ flowing now, so I set up a scavenger hunt for you guys! There's a whole list of things below for you all to find, all stuff you can find in Beacon somewhere! I think, anyway. It's been a while since I've been down there, but I left the prompts pretty open-ended, so feel free to interpret stuff however you want. I'll be the judge, but since I can't be in town with you all, I want you to take selfies with the stuff on the list!!! I know that'll be kind of a pain since the tablets don't have a flash, but I'm not judging on quality. Just do your best, and be creative!

Here's a couple rules and instructions before I get to the list:

- I put up little headers for each item down below, so to submit a "find", comment with your selfie under the item header you want it to count toward. That way we can all see everyone's pictures! It'll be really cute! You guys can like, comment around on people's pictures, too. [ooc note: submissions may come in the form of a written description of the selfie, or you can link pictures to give us the vibe! just make sure to note which thing in the picture is intended to count for the find.]

- You can totally work together on this! If a bunch of you take a big group selfie with a thing on the list, all of you will get credit for it! Teamwork is really great!

- One selfie can count toward more than one list item, but let me clarify! You could, for example, take a selfie with someone else with both of your lanterns down at the beach, and this submission could count toward list items #3, #5, and #7 all at once! BUT one "thing" in each selfie can only count toward one list item, so taking a selfie with your fabulous outfit from home could only satisfy either #9 or #10, not both. Make sense? If not, let me know!

- The scavenger hunt ends on September 25, but you can keep submitting stuff until the end of the month! I can see the timestamps on pics, though, so I'll know if you CHEATIN' 👀!!! [ooc note: the takeaway here is that backdates selfies are allowed up until the next intro log, as prizes will arrive via the ferry. oocly, selfie timestamps mean nothing since these ain't real selfies, it's just an ic thing!]

- Everyone who participates will get... a prize! The prize will depend on MY JUDGEMENT but everyone will get something cool for chipping in! I'm gonna keep the prizes a secret, but trust me, you don't want to miss out!!!

Oookay, I think that covers everything, so... Here's the list!

1. A forest spirit with feathers
   
2. A work of art
   
3. Someone who has helped you
   
4. A letter
   
5. Your favorite lantern
   
6. Something delicious
   
7. A postcard view
   
8. Someone you've never spoken to
   
9. Something from home
   
10. A fabulous outfit
    
11. Somewhere you've never been
    
12. Your favorite place to be
    
13. A forest spirit like you
    
14. A web
    
15. Something you treasure
    
16. A hard-won friend
    
17. The Rat King
    
18. A gift
    
19. Something beautiful
    
20. Someone beautiful
    
21. A game
    
22. A forest spirit bigger than you
    
23. An effort of teamwork
    
24. Footprints in the woods
    
25. The lighthouse

Good luck everyone! :)

1. A FOREST SPIRIT WITH FEATHERS

[beaconkeeper]

[featherknives]

[It's not clear but- there's something on the bed behind Xayah. With a feather crown atop of the paper bag the spirit is wearing and feather blanket as a cape, the shy, timid forest spirit Xayah met at the party is just living its life. And trying to imitate her by wearing the feather blanket on one side.

Ignore the fact that her room is overgrown in plants, vines and weeds, ktnx.]

2. A WORK OF ART

[beaconkeeper]

[equinoctials]

[ Riku's smile is embarrassed and a little helplessly fond, because who wouldn't be, holding a cute drawing like that one? ]

3. SOMEONE WHO HAS HELPED YOU

[beaconkeeper]

[equinoctials]

[ Just... this. ]

4. A LETTER

[beaconkeeper]

[equinoctials]

[ This one looks like some kind of large origami flower that, unfolded in this picture, reveals some written words. They're too unfocused to read in low light. ]

5. YOUR FAVORITE LANTERN

[beaconkeeper]

[lunchbreaks]

[ Well this looks familiar. Hey, it's Riku! ]

6. SOMETHING DELICIOUS

[beaconkeeper]

[lunchbreaks]

[ Pictured is Misty having made beignets for her cute but unstable family! ]

7. A POSTCARD VIEW

[beaconkeeper]

[lunchbreaks]

[ I really almost just erased the background and wrote "harbor" here ]

8. SOMEONE YOU'VE NEVER SPOKEN TO

[beaconkeeper]

[lunchbreaks]

[ Technically, he did have to speak to Allie to take the picture. But he hadn't spoken to her before! ]

9. SOMETHING FROM HOME

[beaconkeeper]

[equinoctials]

[ It's a Gummiphone! It's a lot like a smartphone. The screen is dark. It's pretty hard to keep Gummi block tech juiced up around here when it runs on "happy faces". ]

10. A FABULOUS OUTFIT

[beaconkeeper]

[lunchbreaks]

[ He had to flag Eliot down for this one. ]

11. SOMEWHERE YOU'VE NEVER BEEN

[beaconkeeper]

[lunchbreaks]

[ The museum happened to have a feathered spirit in the shot! Fancy that. ]

12. YOUR FAVORITE PLACE TO BE

[beaconkeeper]

[lunchbreaks]

[ Where else would Aziraphale be but the library? And, he did want a photograph with his favorite librarian. ]

13. A FOREST SPIRIT LIKE YOU

[beaconkeeper]

[lunchbreaks]

[ ...Because who's more like him than the Librarian? A lover of books and sweets, a little nervous... sometimes he just wants to be left alone with his books. They're two peas in a pod! ]

14. A WEB

[beaconkeeper]

[lunchbreaks]

[ This is a bit of a stretch but here's a web on some door that is totally an unrelated door... ]

15. SOMETHING YOU TREASURE

[beaconkeeper]

[equinoctials]

[ Riku's face is out of the picture, but that's definitely him holding up a small, hand-sewn charm. It's not something he openly wears, but anyone who has spent any significant amount of time in his presence has probably seen him taking it from his pocket sometimes. ]

16. A HARD-WON FRIEND

[beaconkeeper]

[lunchbreaks]

[ They have been friends for 6000 years. And supposedly enemies. ]

17. THE RAT KING

[beaconkeeper]

[lunchbreaks]

[ Misty was very excited to meet the Rat King. Aziraphale decidedly less so. ]

18. A GIFT

[beaconkeeper]

[equinoctials]

[ This one looks like a small wood carving of a key. ]

19. SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL

[beaconkeeper]

Re: 19. SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL

[lunchbreaks]

[ It's a ring he obtained some centuries ago. ]

20. SOMEONE BEAUTIFUL

[beaconkeeper]

[lunchbreaks]

[ Molly is the prettiest princess. ]

21. A GAME

[beaconkeeper]

[lunchbreaks]

[ And all he needed was some string and a friend! ]

22. A FOREST SPIRIT BIGGER THAN YOU

[beaconkeeper]

Re: 22. A FOREST SPIRIT BIGGER THAN YOU

[lunchbreaks]

[ Oh look, a scary skeletal horse with two heads!

Yes, that is also footsteps in the background... of Aziraphale trying to walk away quickly. ]

23. AN EFFORT OF TEAMWORK

[beaconkeeper]

[equinoctials]

[ Riku is never gonna let anyone forget about this, he's got one of the logbooks with him in this picture. Ok, so he's kind of holding it in front of his face. It still counts! ]

24. FOOTPRINTS IN THE WOODS

[beaconkeeper]

[equinoctials]

[ This one is pretty dark... but it's the tracks that head northwest to the Museum, lit by torchlight. ]

25. THE LIGHTHOUSE

[beaconkeeper]

[equinoctials]

[ The only way Riku could get a good shot is if most of his head was left out of it. That's definitely his silver hair in the corner. ]
