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! }}

I'm a ghost, yes.

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.]

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. ]

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'.]

[ 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.

Just because you're a ghost doesn't mean that nothing bad can happen to you. If you have a dispute get that far tell me. I've represented people like you before.

[Which is a pretty epic level of understatement but she's used to being secretive.]

I know that. Bad things happen from time to time. I don't need to be represented though, everyone could see me even back home. I had quite a few visitors and a lot of online friends. My friend tried to exorcise me once because I was losing her money by not being able to leave the apartment room, then there are always.. Sometimes disagreeable people get interested in this. But I set up rules and I intend to follow them just as everyone else needs to follow mine if they want my treasures.

I don't mean because of that. I mean that there may be people who fear you because you aren't human, and there may be others who use that fear to flaunt your rules and steal from you. That sort of thing is easier to answer if someone else is standing next to you.

Well, I haven't seen anything like that here so far. But it's something to keep in mind.

Everyone's been pretty nice around here, you're right. What exactly are you suggesting in terms of having someone standing next to me? I like to think there are a few people who would if someone gave me trouble..

It depends. Against simple threats or the spreading of rumors it can be enough to make a show of support or mediate. But against someone who is resolved to destroy you, it means to kill them in turn.

In either case I'm offering my help if you care to ask for it, but it would be better if you were willing to offer the same. Promises between individuals are only worth so much. Even if it's only informal, I'd rather have bonds of association between many nonhumans. That's the kind of organization I used to have.

I'm not really sure what you're asking from me specifically, but I don't mind being your friend if that's it. If I can catch your name, that is.

[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.]

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.

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.

From what the ghost said if you're fit and quick-witted it should be enough, but don't trust too much in your sword. A dungeon isn't an opponent you can just cut down.

[Well, no, it is, but she already promised Nanana she wouldn't cheat with magic. Though not in so many words.]

Still, your first adventure, hm? [She has a bit of a glint in her eye. Like she said, she somewhat enjoys watching those more... childish cracks in Satsuki's cold demeanor.] I wouldn't mind joining you. Though what will you do if the artifact isn't something we can share?

[Ah, yes.. 'Ghost'. Somehow Satsuki managed to miss that detail in her earlier conversation with the teacher. That said, her sharp gaze seems to narrow just a bit, but she refrains from accusing Yukihime of lecturing her again.

That aside, her response may suggest she already considered the question.]

In such an instance I would say a game of chance could suffice.

[Though it is easy for her to say since she doubts the first test would hold anything of significant value- it made more sense to her it would hint at something greater. And even if it is a bust entirely, she had been meaning to spend some time with the blonde anyway.]

[Yukihime nods.] If it's just once we may as well keep it simple.

You can contact me whenever you have the time. I'm not doing much right now.

Very well.

[Satsuki is about to hang up, though she actually hesitates in doing so.]

By the way, has your housing situation been resolved yet?
