[font=trebuchet ms]A scavenger hunt based around riddles? He liked to think he was a clever person- no idiot would survive this long in the Typhoon- so this ought to be right up his alley, he thought as he approached Jacob and listened in to the riddles. He had to turn his head at an odd angle to hear Jacob properly, but it was worth it to catch everything the first time through.
After Jacob finished, Paper hurried off on his search. First was “a jewel of darkness waiting in the sea.” There was only one location in the Typhoon that was in the sea. As he walked, he pondered over the other locations. “A place where one can find the throne of the sea” and “a place full of cheaters who love to play games, but everyone feels welcome”
were easy enough. “A place where bells ring for those who listen” was simple too, and “a place where everything glitters, including gold” could be narrowed down to just a few places. Not too difficult, but he suspected the others would have figured it out too. It was going to come down to who could manage their energy the most efficiently, more likely than not.
Hurrying up to the Tempest and coming across the basket, he was only mildly surprised to see Fischer had arrived first- blind though she may have been, she still had a working nose and ears- with Vandal, Rose, and Caesar arriving a few moments before he had. As he grabbed a cowrie shell, he overheard a few snatches of conversation about working together, but paid them no mind. He already knew where he was going for the most part, so there was no point in trying to consult with others.
With that, he left the Tempest and hurried off to the next location. If his hunch was correct, it wouldn’t be far. There was only one location here with a throne, unless Jacob was being proverbial.
