Tynx: [Bounds in] OK! Here's where we'll do the treasure hunt, so we'll be out of the way of the socializing peoples and persons and angry dragons and whatnot. So! Join in! Anyone can join, but there is one rule: You must have fun!

[Picks up a shovel (awkwardly, because he picks up in his mouth] Let's go!

Ouskar: Sure, I'll help. *grabs shovel and pick-axe*

Klasina: *runs in with shovel* Here I am! *spots Tynx and goes over to him* Where do we start looking?

Tynx: Awesome! Glad to have you both on board! Hmm... [Looks around] Look! [Points to a trail] The treasure must've gone that way! I can smell the ocean! C'mon! [Takes off running, but occasionally stops to adjust his grip on the shovel as it skips over various mounds of dirt or rocks]

Klasina: *laughs and runs after Tynx* I.. didn't know... treasure... could run! *pants*

Osukar: Neither did I. *runs after them*

Tynx: [Pants] You... never know. It could be.... [Adjusts grip on shovel] Anything. Or, maybe a person just carried it. Or a dinosaur!

Ouskar: *nods sagely* Right. Look for an x then.

Jaimie: * grabs a shovel and take off with the group *

Me:

Jaimie: "What?"

Me: "Nothing."

Jaimie: * looks ahead * "Tynx, stop! There's a cliff!"

Tynx: You bet! 'Cause X always marks the- Wah! [Scrambles back away from the cliff] Whew. Thanks, Jaimie! Welcome to the treasure hunt!

Jaimie: "Thanks. Are you all right?"

Ouskar: *peers down cliff* I've got rope and a grappling hook if we want to go down.

Tynx: Yeah, I think I'm OK. [Looks down the cliff] May as well explore. That's part of treasure hunting. You get to explore everywhere!

Jaimie: "I think that's a beach way down there... Tynx! Can't you shapeshift?" * grins *

*There is a flash of light and the crackle of electricity, and Susyn Doylen appears with a shovel over her shoulder.*

Susyn: Okay if I join?

- Terra

Klasina: Whoa... that's a long way down.

Ouskar: Of course.

Jaimie: "Welcome, Susyn! Please come join us!"

Me: "I love her name, Terra."

Ouskar: Shall we go down?

Tynx: Welcome aboard, Susyn! [Looks down cliff, quivering with excited energy] Awesome sweetness! This'll be fun! What should I shift into? I can do a long snake.

Jaimie: "Or a dragon..."

Ouskar: *unslings rope and grappling hook and places it securely* *he begins to rappel down*

Tynx: Haha... Oh yeah, I knew that. [Pretebds to look unembarrassed and shifts into a dragon. Lowers himself so the others can get on] All aboard the black dragon. Please keep your limbs closeby, because I'd hate for someone to lose one... Somehow. Not sure how, but just in case.

Ouskar: *reaches the bottom after an amazing jump off the cliff with a light landing* I see a cave!

Jaimie: * climbs on * "Ouskar, wait for us!"

Ouskar: I'll wait!

Tynx: OK, all who are descending, hand on tight! [Leaps off the cliff and spirals down, gliding lesurely, then lands beside Ouskar] Alright, are we all still on?

Klasina: Heeeeeeeey! *cries* Come back and get me, please?

Me: Sorry about that... keep forgetting to come over here.

Jaimie: * clambers off * "Thanks, Tynxie." * calls up * "He's coming, Klasi!"

Klasi: *sits down to wait, still crying as bit* It's loooonely up here.

Ouksar: Come down the rope!

Klasi: B-but I'm scaaaaared!

Me: She's only ten or so, Ouskar.

Me: You've been rather quiet, Susyn. Go talk to people.

Susyn: Sorry. I can't think of anything to say.

*Looks up at Klasi.* Susyn: Don't worry. We'll get you.

- Terra

Klasi: Hurry, please?

Ouskar: *climbs back up the rope* I can make a sling to lower you down.

Tynx: [Smiles slightly] Don't worry kiddo, I'm comin'. [Flies back up to the cliff and land by Klasi] Hop on. Adventure awaits!

Klasi: *grins at Ouskar* Thanks, but Tynx is back. You can ride down with me, though! And * holds up a squirming Kitty * play with my kitty!

Kitty: I am not a toy!

Klasi: *giggles and squeezes Kitty tight while getting on Tynx*

Kitty: I'm going to scratch Kai for this...

Ouskar: Right. *unties rope and climbs on Tynx's back*

*Susyn peers into the cave with a flashlight.*

- Terra

Jaimie: * looks in * "It looks... wet. We'll have to make sure we don't get trapped by the tide."

Tynx: [Roars and plunges downward, but lands gently] Alright, are we all here now?

Ouskar: I believe so. *pulls out a torch and lights it*

Klasi: Yep! Here, Ouskar, you can hold Kitty like I promised! *dumps Kitty in Ouskar's arms*

Kitty: *growls*

Me: * giggles *

Jaimie: * is trying to figure out they have before the tide comes in but really has no idea how to do so * (@ me)

Me: * shrugs * "You don't."

Jaimie: "So..."

Tynx: [Shifts back into fox form] Well, let's go in fast before the tide comes, and maybe the treasure will be washed out if the tide comes!... If it doesn't sink first.

Ouskar: *heads in*

Klasi: *follows Tynx in* I think I lost my shovel.

Kitty: *jumps out of Ouskar's arms and runs off *

Jaimie: * cocks head and follows Tynx *

Tynx: [Scampers inside, but land on Klasi's shovel, which makes the handle swing up and smack into him] Wow.... How many shovels did you lose, Klasi?

Klasi: Sorry! *picks up shovel* Just one! But how did it get down here?
