JACOB WICKLIFF CORLEONE
Jacob was, admittedly, a little nervous about this. He'd never been anything other than a doctor aside from his time as chief but even that wasn't exactly like this. Then he realized this was like being chief but only the fun parts that he actually enjoyed and he felt better about it. Jacob loved bringing people together and helping them get to know one another so he supposed the change in career was a good one. It wasn't as stressful as looking after only the medical side of things too, which was good. He needed less stress in his life, especially as he was looking to marry Pinch and, hopefully, start a family.
When he'd talked to Pincher about it, he'd decided he wanted some sort of big event that he'd never done before as his first event as Dealer. Then he'd had an idea about something he'd done when he was little; a scavenger hunt. Of course, the other boys would just hide things and tell him to find them with all sorts of riddles that actually led him to nothing so he'd spend hours looking only for them all to laugh about it later. At least, that was how things were before he met Jersey and his big brother had sort of helped. Instead, he got dragged around to steal things with him. He still wasn't sure which one had been better but what he did know was that he'd received training he didn't even know he was getting in the form of pointless games that were just fun. So here he was. He'd gathered everyone in the main camp as a starting point and he called, "I'm holdin' a scavenger hunt for anyone tha' wan's ta' come join in! I'll be explainin' the rules n' givin' riddles n' things so you'll wanna' hear it. He then waited for a small crowd to gather before starting.
"Alright so the way this is gonna work is I'm gonna' give ya'll five different riddles right now. The answer ta' all the riddles is a location unique ta' Typhoon. The first person ta' solve all the riddles, visit all the locations, gets one of each color ah' cowrie shell, n' brings 'em back ta' me is the winner. When ya' get ta' each location, there'll be a basket with cowrie shells in it. Each location has a unique color so I'll know if ya' jus' try ta' take five outta' the same basket. The first shell ya' go to will be blue, then pink, then yellow, then green, n' the last one will be purple. The colors don' mean nothin', they're jus' ta' make sure ya' don' try ta' cheat. Make sure ya' don' hurt each other on the way ta' each location or fightin' over the shells. This ain't a sparrin' competition or nothin', 's jus' a race. Ah' course, I won't really know if ya' choose ta' do that but, jus' please don'," he explained before pausing and glancing around, making sure that everyone seemed to be listening.
"Now I'm gonna start with the riddles so make sure ta' listen close 'cause I ain't gonna' repeat 'em after this. Remember tha' ya' gotta visit each location in order. Alright, the first one is 'a jewel of darkness waitin' in the sea'. The second one is 'a place where one can find the throne ah' the sea'. The third is 'a place full ah' cheaters who love ta' play games, but everyone feels welcome'. The fourth is 'a place where bells ring for those who listen', n' the fifth is 'a place where everythin' glitters, includin' gold," he concluded, trying to speak each as clearly and loudly as possible so everyone would be able to hear him. "On the count ah' three, ya' can start runnin' ta' your first location. One, two..." he took a long pause for a moment, letting his eyes sweet over the group one last time. "Three!" He was going to love this job.
//Alright so the way this works is you have to have one post for each riddle/location! You also have to wait for at least one other person to post before you can move on to the next shell. For example, if I post about finding the first location, I have to wait for one more person to post before I can post about finding the second one. If you have any questions, feel free to dm me on here or on discord. There will be first and second place winners who will get the awards listed below!
First place: A headshot by [member=6]C★SMIIX[/member], a chibi by [member=1348]adomania[/member] and 40k gems!
Second place: 20k gems!
