Riddle Me This

[highseasmods]

Who: The Contestants!
Where: A certain villa on an undisclosed island
When: May 30th-June 1st
What: Contests and Schmoozing with a chance at a prize or two
Warnings: Your usual
Status: Closed



Contestants will be able to use the Nav (regardless of when they last used it) to port over to the villa early in the morning on the 30th, though the contest won't start until mid-afternoon and carry into the evening until it's cut off for a formal dinner.

On the 31st, the schedule is much the same, mixed with a leisurely morning breakfast. Midafternoon the contest will recommence and that evening there will be a celebratory dinner out near the reflecting pool.

On the 1st, participants will be given another breakfast and will be able to wrap up what they've got going on, but will be shuffled off the island by mid-afternoon.

Contestants are able to have the run of the house and the grounds, but if they persist in trying to go beyond the terracotta walls that surround the estate, they will be disqualified and sent back to their ship.

6/1

[He'd been looking for Cynthia for a while now and he didn't see her anywhere inside the villa. So she must be outside, right? Because that's where he was looking now.

And sure enough, there she was in the gardens.]

Cynthia, there you are. I've been looking all over the place for you.

[ She was busy enjoying the roses when he walked by. Seriously, if he's going to babysit her even here, she'll run into the hedge maze...which would probably be a horrible idea because good luck out running a ninja. But you get it. ]

Now why on earth would you be looking for me?

[the_dancing_dork]

Well... it's the last day here and I've been distracted so I wasn't able to come see you, so I just... wanted to check if you were alright.

[anelegantmyth]

Oh...well I'm quite alright, thanks for asking. Nothing's hurting at the moment so that's an added bonus to an otherwise good day.

[the_dancing_dork]

Oh, great. I just... wanted to be for sure, is all. Glad to hear it.

[Great, now what was he supposed tt do? Other than make himself look like an idiot like he currently was.]

[anelegantmyth]

Well okay then.

[She'll go back to her flowers now. ]

[the_dancing_dork]

Umm... you don't mind if I stick around here do you? I mean if you want some alone time, I understand. But... you know, if you don;t mind any company...

[anelegantmyth]

No, of course not. Stay as long as you want Leo. I wouldn't mind the company at all.

[the_dancing_dork]

Okay, great. Thanks.

[He went ahead and stood nearby. He leaned against a tree and looked up where he saw a red rose. It looked kind of pretty... maybe Cynthia would like it? He could just give it to her as a... friendly gift. Noting wrong with that, right?

He pulled out a katana, lifting it up to where he could reach the stem of the rose. It took one cut to get it to fall, in which he moved the katana so that the blunt end would catch it. Looked good. So he went ahead and cleared his throat.]

Umm... here. I thought you might like this...

[Just moves the katana so that she could take the rose off of it.]

[anelegantmyth]

[ She was busying herself trying to identify one of the nearby flower bushes when she noticed him take out his blade to cut something from one of the trees. Maybe an apple tree or something? She wasn't sure. So she returned to her mini research. Although the clearing of his throat got her attention. ]

Hm? Oh...

[ Which was when she saw the rose. An adorable gesture coming from her favorite little turtle boy, which she gladly (and slowly) accepted. She knew Leo would never hurt her. But, for obvious reasons, the sword made her really uneasy. ]

Thank you, Leo. It's really pretty

[the_dancing_dork]

You're welcome. Glad you like it.

[Sheathed his sword as he went back to leaning against the tree.]

[anelegantmyth]

[ She tucks the rose behind her ear and walks over to take a seat on one of the benches. Cynthia wasn't really in a relaxing mood ever since her loss in round three. But she was so hoping Leo didn't pick up on that. ]

I can't wait to head back to the ship. I miss the boys.

[the_dancing_dork]

[Cynthia wasn't the only one, he himself wasn't happy with his own loss. But he wasn't going to show that. He moves from his place at the tree to go sit by the older woman on the bench.]

Yeah, I hope they're alright. At least by the time we get back they most likely would have reached Candy Mountain.

[anelegantmyth]

Yeah, I supposed there's that to look forward to. That was watching Gaius eat through half the mountain.
