To those who seek adventure:

[ And following that begins a video with Nanana smiling as she begins to explain... ]

I've opened an archway to Nanae Island. It's the island that I created with my friends for students of all types to follow their dreams. Normally I wouldn't say something about this on my own since those seeking treasure would usually find out about it on their own, but since I'm the only one from Nanae Island I am the only one who knows about it.

[ Which is disappointing, since usually the best plan is to have people come to her and answer questions according to her own rules. She has to stick to her rules except for this single post. After that, each "quest" will have to be set out upon the request of others. Nanana looks to the side. She is at least somewhat aware of what's going on, so she does feel a little bad about it. ]

I realize there's a lot going on in Genessia, but I think that's why this is a good time to announce this. Before I was killed ten years ago, I hid all of my treasures that I found, ranging from gold and silver to powerful and magical artifacts that I found on my travels. Any of the artifacts are part of the Nanana Collection. Some parts of the Nanana Collection can prevent these sorts of events, can be used to change the world, simply provide some entertainment, or save lives. As a part of my rules, I can't tell you where anything is or what the puzzles and booby traps are like. I know this may seem unfair, but everyone deserves an equal chance to go on an adventure and to get each item. For those that had already been claimed in my world, if I knew where they were after being removed, I went and re-hid them in their original dungeons before announcing this. Don't go after anything unless you're prepared to risk your life; people have been hospitalized or died for these items before.

I will mention that anyone who cannot beat the dungeon hidden within Nanae Island 3rd Senior High School will end up dead if they go after any of them. Please test your skills there first. It's usually the minimum requirement of the Adventure Club there to join. You can try as many times as you like and teams are acceptable, but keep in mind that you'll need different and varied skills to pass any dungeons. I've removed the original treasure from that one and hid it in another dungeon, but I will add various tame prizes as a reward for those who pass. [ She wanted to say pudding, but she didn't think she could have that kind of self-restraint when it came to the only thing she could eat anymore. She'll probably find stuffed animals or neat things she finds from other cities here. ] It's just to make sure you aren't getting in too far over your head, even though it's the easiest. I don't want to kill anyone, after all, but.. well, if there's no real risk then you don't get the great feeling of your heart pounding in your chest and the adrenaline rushing through your body during an adventure. That's what I want to share with anyone here who wants it!

{{ OOC: If there's enough interest, I'll put up a log for the Nanae Island 3rd Senior High School Adventure Club beginner's test dungeon in a few days! }}

You died?

[Unfortunately she's more interested in a fellow undead than treasure hunting.]

[buriedtreasure]

I'm a ghost, yes.

[melonsaregreat]

Hm.

I might give it a run to see what it's like.

[This thing comes with enough disclaimers that she's not to worried but as long as she has nothing better to do she's willing to check it out and make sure the dungeons aren't total deathtraps. Gotta think of the children or whatever.]

[buriedtreasure]

Best of luck then! I should mention that the only way to disable the traps is to pick up the treasure.

[ They are total death traps unless you've got brains, athleticism, and sometimes a team is necessary. Children should definitely not go anywhere near them. ]

[melonsaregreat]

I doubt that, but if that's how it's supposed to be I can follow that rule.

[She has an expansive definition of 'children'.]

[buriedtreasure]

[ She's fairly confident that her dungeons need to be gone through properly. Many of them are built into public spaces but hidden extremely well. Trying something like destroying a part of it could put others in danger and result in interference from police or other security. The risk of destroying any part of the island she helped build would exceed the risk of just doing it normally. As for technology.. well, it's a mix of old world and new high-tech. All designed by geniuses and Nanana herself. No two dungeons are the same. They didn't design these so that they could be beat by someone who thinks they can just cheat their way through it. ]

I'll be cross with anyone who doesn't earn what they've taken. A ghost is pretty hard to get rid of. Thanks for agreeing to follow the rules.

[Video] Jacks on in here

[weavemyownfate]

[Don't mind Satsuki she's just going to.. Slip right on in here. The Deputy Guardian is rather interested herself; even though she's pretty busy and a rather tired from doing clean-up and maintaing Nova City business, these treasures sound far too good to pass up.

What's with the teacher volunteering to treasure hunt?]

You did not tell me you were related to Indiana Jones, Yukihime.

[.. Woah. A.. A joke.]

[Video]

[melonsaregreat]

Oh, I'm not. I'd much rather create something new than steal the treasures of the ancient dead. But when she's challenging our whole little world I thought it would be worth the time to make sure everything is as she says.

[After Lucifer she'd rather not have to deal with some ghost luring people into doom pits. Or to be more precise, she'd rather deal with it sooner rather than later.]

Besides, I could stand to move around a little.

[Video]

[weavemyownfate]

I hold a similar preference; then again in my world, such artifacts do not exist- at least not to my knowledge. But long story short, my interest is piqued.

Perhaps this could be an opportunity for us to work together- assuming this test takes off when the paperwork has settled down and you are interested. I would say I'm quite the capable swordswoman.

[Video]

[redsnowangel]

[Having been killed just prior to his arrival - and assumes everyone else here went through the same - Zelos looks a little surprised to see someone announcing it so openly.

So, he makes the rather suspicious sounding assumption: ]

Woah. So... you've been stuck in this place 10 years? You must know the ropes pretty well by now, my cute lavender~

[Video]

[buriedtreasure]

No, I haven't. I was bound to my bedroom where I'd been killed for 10 years. Genessia is the first time I've been outside since.

[ She's loving every minute of it. Adventures beyond video games are honestly much better. ]

[Video]

[redsnowangel]

Wow. Didn't think this place could have that much of a delayed reaction.

Guess that explains how someone ended up appearing in two other worlds first...

Gotta say, this place is certainly brighter now you've caught up.

[He gave her a wink.

...Not that he knew what it was like before she was here, but who cares about the details, really?]

[Video]

[buriedtreasure]

"Delayed reaction?" I figured it just took whoever it wanted, whenever it wanted. There are all kinds of items out there that can do all sorts of things like that, I'd imagine a city could pull people from all worlds easily with the right magic.

[Video]

[redsnowangel]

Well, you said you were dead for 10 years before it picked you up, right? That sounds like a pretty delayed reaction to me. Figured it just grabbed everyone straight away.

[Yes, he still thinks this is the afterlife. No one's proved him otherwise.]

…Seriously, must've sucked being stuck in one room that whole time.

No time like the present to live up your freedom though, right?

[For both of them.

It bothered him a bit, that she'd been bound to her bedroom like that - and reminded him rather too much of what his little sister went through.]

[Video]

[buriedtreasure]

It wasn't too bad as long as I had a good roommate. I'd just eat pudding and play video games.

[ Well, that's her optimistic side talking. Leaving out the part of what happened when whoever was her roommate wasn't so good or what happened when they went after her Collection and found certain items that made them realize they couldn't help her. Or the fact that her only adventures from that day on were online despite that they were the one thing she loved to do more than anything. ]

But what do you mean "straight away"? Most people are alive here, so my time of death doesn't have much to do with this place. There's no way I would've moved on to anywhere intentionally unless I killed the person who killed me and a couple of other things.

[Audio] Here, have the other one too

[beautifulmidboss]

[Well, this was certainly a welcome distraction. Lying around recovering from his wounds meant that Midboss spent far too much time dwelling on the battle just past. It bothered him, a little, to hear that she had died before - but then again, so had he.

Unlike before, he opened up an Audio feed. He was still feeling unduly self-conscious about his current state.]

So this is your latest project, Mademoiselle? I fear I may have to wait a little while to take the challenge, but this certainly sounds an intriguing thought.

[Audio] takes all of them hehehe

[buriedtreasure]

I'll continue to reset at least the beginner one, but I don't think the other ones are going to be passed so easily. Or even found, since they're scattered across the whole island.

[Audio] They're lovely! Really!

[beautifulmidboss]

Hmhm... That is good to know. I have to give my rivals a headstart or else I might defeat the challenges from under their noses!

[His bragging did not have the same energy it had before. Instead, it sounded tired.]

With the events of the last couple of weeks, a distraction like this is certainly welcome, I'm sure.

[Audio] that they are

[buriedtreasure]

It's a lot of fun for adventurous spirits. I wasn't kidding about some of them being deadly, and some of the items can be dangerous in the wrong hands too..

[ Honestly, allowing this probably wasn't the best of ideas, but it was something she wanted to do. Sharing that adventure and the happiness of receiving the items with people was one of the things that made Nanana happy. Happiness was something to be shared, after all. ]

[Audio]

[beautifulmidboss]

... How dangerous, mademoiselle?

[shslprogrammer]

You...mentioned that you died. [Just like he knew he was dead back home, she had been to. This place was really something.]

What was it like? I-I mean, sorry if I sound rude, but I guess I'm curious.

video;

[buriedtreasure]

It hurt.

[ After all, being killed usually didn't feel good. ]

Someone stabbed me from behind; I haven't seen their face, so I don't know who it was and the police haven't found out either. I ended up becoming bound to my apartment and I couldn't leave until I arrived here.

[ Even though she looked serious-- a little down even, she's trying to perk herself up. The smile seems a little forced, but her words are still pretty true.. ]

After a while it wasn't too bad. I just got to lay around eating pudding and playing video games for ten years~

video;

[shslprogrammer]

I see... I'm sorry to hear that. [It must be ought not knowing who it was and not having it solved either so one could rest.]

I admit I understand what dying is like myself. It's never nice, so if you ever want to talk when you feel down, I'll be happy to talk to you.

video;

[buriedtreasure]

You're dead too? There are a lot of deceased people around here.

[ She's never known other deadp eople before coming here, honestly. ] Are you a ghost?

video;

[shslprogrammer]

I don't actually know if I am a ghost. I mean I can remember how I died... [A friend he trusted hit him with a dumbbell, that wasn't exactly something he could ever forget.]

I do know that I died never the less and suddenly I was here. I honestly through this place was the afterlife.
