:: It's a sunny, blue-skied, clear day in the Muffin Forest. The temperature is perfect, just the right amount of breeze sways through the trees, and in a convinient clearing, Marakai Amenhotep is talking with two-dozen penguins, half of them wearing red scarves, half of them wearing blue.::
:: MA is standing amongst them, wearing platform white sandles, a blue flowy flowery sun dress, and a floppy straw sunhat, her long black hair free and flowing. She is giving out orders to her penguins.::
MA: Now remember, the red penguins go in the left side of the forest, and the blue penguins go to the right. Are all of the items tagged with the apprropriate color? :: penguins squack:: Good. Now move out!
:: The penguins scatter, and MA gets to work. She sets up a blue checkered cloth on the ground under the shade of a muffin tree, picks some muffins, and sets them out with a large jug of lemonade. She pulls out three first aid kits, a whitsle, and " The Picture of Dorian Gray" for good reading and settles down on the blanket. She pulls out two shiny trophies, one bigger than the other, a large box, and a small box, and sets them up, and then she pulls out a big sandwich board sign and sticks it up.::
:: With that done, MA grabs a chocolate muffin, gets a glass of lemonade, and begins to read.::
:: The sign says...::
CALLING ALL ADVENTURERS!
Welcome to the first annual " Muffin Forest Scavenger Hunt"! In it two teams (one red and one blue) set out into the wilderness and retrieve the twelve items that have the SAME color tag as the team. If they succeed and get back first (WITHOUT cheating), they will get a mystery prize and a shiny trophy.
So come one, come all, to the first ever "Muffin Forest Scavenger Hunt"!
(come to the checkered blanket and speak to MA if you wish to participate.)

*There is a rustling sound in the tree branches above MA and a squeak. TEO plummets to the ground, screaming, her hair tangled with leaves and bits of what might be squirrel nest. She wears what would be camoflauge pants, were they not red and yellow, a black shirt, and a black hat that harks upon French military officers.*
*She falls onto the blanket and knocks the pitcher of lemonade over.* "Yaaah! Coconut lied! That wasn't a wormhole into last Tuesday!" *She looks around indignantly and takes in the sign.*
"MA! You're having a scaveger hunt? I want to play! I can scavenge!"

*There is another rustle to the right of MA and TEO. Jette steps out from behind a tree, all stealthy like* "Oh. A scavenger hunt? Sounds like oh so much fun. I think I'll join." *Looks at the overturned lemonade pitcher* "How unfortunate."

After being salted, spiced, peppered, blown up, and then finally thwomped over the head for good measure, Oz woke up to find himself in a convenient clearing (is there any other kind?)
Scratching the rather large bump still decorating his forehead, he walks forward to see a table, MA, TEO, Jette, and Furball all lurking around it. Oz wasn't quite sure what 'lurking' was exactly, but he was pretty sure that the four of them were most definitely doing it.
Grabbing one of the first aid kits and using it to patch up a few of the holes still left in his body here and there, he asked the inevitable question.
"I'm not gonna nearly die this time, am I? ...cause, you know... it still kinda stings."

TEO turned to Oz and sighed.
"No, you're not going to die, Oz. It'll just hurt for a while, and you might be a bit scared, but not anywhere visible. Such is the price of becoming zesty."

I would not like to be zesty. Furballs just aren't made to be zesty. They're supposed to look pretty while sipping sprite. It's in the Furball Handbook *brandishes* It is very handy, pocket sized, and knows things ranging on how to propperly sip sprite, to how to never take sides but always remain evil and on everyone else's side without being smarmy.
^^ *blink* So! MA! Can I be on the blue team?

Yes. :: MA hands Furball and Oz a blue scarf each and TEO and Jette a red scarf each.:: TEO and Jette are on the red team, and Furball and Oz are on the blue team. :: she hands them a list each.:: Basically, you wander through the forest until you find a properly color-coated item and NO CHEATING BECAUSE I WILL KNOW.
:: The list reads...::
1) A manga book
2) A large vial filled with conspicuous liquid
3) The movie "Aliens"
4) A fake plastic knife
5) Ramen in a plastic container
6) A book on the Atkins diet
7) A jar of hair mousse
8) A book called "Organ Transplants for Dummies"
9) A dell laptop
10) A gold rolex watch
11) One of my muses (different one for each team, they're wearing the same colored clothing as the team they belong to)
12) A kumquat
^.^ You can all start...NOW! Good luck! :: MA blows the whistle, signifying the beginning of the hunt::

As MA described the importance of the items they were going to be finding, Oz turned to his new partner.
"Furballs aren't meant to be zesty? Must be a very boring existance, mustn't it?"
In return, Furball just showed him page Ninety eight thousand, seven hundred and sixty three B. Paragraph Eight.
"No it isn't. And unless you want to go from Mad Zesty to oh-my-god-the-eternal-suffering zesty, you'd just better accept it."
"My, that book just has all the answers, doesn't it?"

^^ *beams* *nodnod*
*flips through book* It says here that Alien Movies are usually located somewhere on someone's bookshelf, being all spiffy. *points in a random direction* QUICKLY!
*runs off past a muse with a blue shirt, a lap top, and a kumqat*

*Perks up* I smell ramen! Come TEO, this way! *Grabs TEO and runs off in a random direction, flattening a red-shirted Muse wearing a gold Rolex*

*follows Furball until he feels a hand on his shoulder*
*turns around*
"Oh, hey Minstrel, what's up?"
Oz's silent muse pointed at the person wearing a blue shirt and typing on a laptop and munching on a kumquat.
"Yes, yes, he, she or it, is very pretty. Now let go, I gotta find Furball."
The Minstrel (who shall now be known as 'Mince') sighed, raised the list of Items to hunt, then pointed at the person again.
"Uh, I'm sure they'll print something out for you on the laptop if you ask them nicely, now seriously man, I gotta go."
Mince stamped his foot, shoved the list into Oz's face then walked over to the blue shirt wearing individual, picked him up and started shaking him.
Oz ran over horrified. "No! Bad Muse, bad! Down! Put him down!"
Mince slowly lowered the man to the ground.
Oz shook his head. "God, look at you! You need to calm down. Honestly, why couldn't I get one of those beautiful female Muses the greeks were always talking about? Now you two play nice while I go track down Furball, alright?" Oz then ran off.
Mince sighed and shook his head sadly.
The other Muse looked up, smiled, and offered him a kumquat.

*rumaging through a bookshelf* I know it's here...AHA! *whips out copy of 'Alien'* *huggles it* Oh dearest bloodthirsty and moderately frightening wonderfulness that is Alien! ^^
*Looks over at Oz, who has finally caught up* Okay! You pick what we go after next! ^^ *continues to huggle Alien*
Twinkie: *takes out copy of the list and checks off 'Alien movie'* Purrleep!
Thankies Twinkie, my trusted advisor.
Twinkie: ^^ *eats a gold rollex watch*

*Sniffs the ground* "It's thataway!" *Runs in a random direction, but right into a tree* "Owowowowow! What the!?" *Is squished beneath a 100 chapter book on the Atkins Diet* "Uh, TEO. Help me!"

*Pondering*
"Hm... what should we go after next? Normally I'd say let's start at the top of the list, but the list starts with 'manga book' and if those little frightened squeals you let out everytime I mention that are any indication, that will be one of the scariest and hardest things to find. So let's save it for last, ok?"
"So... I know what a fake knife looks like. And what a real plastic knife looks like, but where will we ever find a knife that is made out of fake plastic? Oh, the horror!"
