[Adventure] Familiar Turf - A Puzzling Problem

[king_of_egypt]

This is going to sound like a bizarre question..... but I don't suppose that anyone has come across any spare puzzle pieces lying around?

[No, don't worry- the Millennium Puzzle is quite in tact, but the Millennium Idol, aka Falcon, aka Horus (when in it's Falcon form) is the puzzle in need. With all the recent thefts courtesy of the rats it's not going to make this any easier either]

To give you an idea of what it likely looks like- you need only to recall my second familiar. I've never seen this piece myself but apparently this puzzle can be put together another way.

- Atem

[Then he has Horus, somewhat ironically, deliver messages to his friends that were with him when he's acquired the Idol since Atem still hasn't acquired one of those fancy journals that have become so popular.

OOC NOTE: Please feel free to either reply to Atem on the bulletin board or run into him wherever on the school grounds searching for this item. You could run into him anywhere, it's fine.]

[Private to Yugi and Kaiba]

[The metallic falcon didn't seem to have much trouble in finding it's marks landing before them and dropping the tiny scroll from it's beak but then it had to wait for them to write out a response. Yes, maybe Atem should invest in one of those aforementioned journals.... . Also, hope you guys have pens handy.]

I don't know if you saw the recent bulletin board post, but I might head back to Isolde Tower to search there.

[king_of_egypt]

Is it really?
That's going to make this even more difficult than I thought.
Thank you for informing me Yugi.

[woo_oo]

[A puzzling encounter about puzzles? Webby is very intrigued as she looks on the bulletin board today.]

Did someone try to break it apart and is now spreading the puzzles as an elaborate quest?

[king_of_egypt]

Well- honestly I'm not sure. I think I have most of the puzzle in my possession but I wasn't aware that the Millennium Idol could be reformed in a different way until now.

It's origins are shrouded in mystery, and I only found it in the first place by researching a card game called Fantastic Foils with a few of my friends.

[woo_oo]

Then maybe Fantastic Foils is the key to solving this mystery!

[king_of_egypt]

It might be at that-

I always thought it was rather strange that there was an item called the 'Millennium' Idol that took the form of a pyramid part of the time.... when my own 'Millennium" puzzle... had a strong connection to another card game.

It's almost as if there's a parallel between my world and this one.

[woo_oo]

Maybe there is! Your world could have super-strong connections to this one, like how it's full of humans!

[... webby that's like 99% of the other worlds...]

[king_of_egypt]

[That last bit gives him pause. After a shake of the head he writes a reply]

That very well could be.

[woo_oo]

This is so exciting! How else can I help?

[king_of_egypt]

If you'd like you can help me search the area. There's a lot of ground to cover and while I was going to start with the school itself, I might have to extend the search beyond it.

[woo_oo]

You can count on me! I'll report back to you ASAP if I find anything!

[king_of_egypt]

Thank you Webby, I'm glad I have friends I can depend on here.

[hyperdrivemonalisa]

I haven't seen any, Atem, but Chaos and I can be on the lookout.

Did you go where you first found them and look? I guess there's some benefit in returning to the scene of the crime, so to speak...

[king_of_egypt]

Thank you, I would appreciate it.

I thought I might try that first, however I have been informed that the location may no longer be there.

[hyperdrivemonalisa]

It might still be worth a look. Not to sound too cliche, but there might be something left behind...

[king_of_egypt]

Did you perchance want to accompany me? It's not that I mind searching alone but it might be easier with two sets of eyes.

[hyperdrivemonalisa]

Only two? I'm sure Chaos and your familiars could look, too! That means even more eyes! But of course, I'd be delighted to help!

[king_of_egypt]

I'm sure they would lend an aide as well, and I might be able to convince some others to join us.

Thank you Isabel. After classes we can meet up and head out.

[hyperdrivemonalisa]

Sounds good to me, Atem. We'll be there, Chaos and I.

[king_of_egypt]

Excellent! I'm glad that I can count on you both.

[shiningkindness]

I haven't seen any, but I can have Ballet and Tango look out for them since they're closer to the ground.

What kind of puzzle pieces are they?

[king_of_egypt]

Thank you, I would appreciate it Fluttershy.

As far as I know, there's just one missing. Here, I'll try to draw it.

[Judging from the negative space he assumes it to look something like the following]

[shiningkindness]

[It takes a moment longer for the reply, only because she's copying the drawing in a notebook for reference later.]

All right. I'll have Ballet and Tango keep a lookout for it.

Is there any idea where it might be? I saw some of the other replies that the exact place isn't there anymore, but maybe it's still somewhere in that area?

[king_of_egypt]

Thank you. I'm going to have Capricius and Horus searching as well.

My knowledge of the Millennium Idol is limited, unfortunately. This might sound strange ... but I found it when a couple of my friends and I were seeking information about a card game called Fantastic Foils. This tower was like a museum in some respects all about the aforementioned card game.

I was hoping to search the area it used to stand first. You're more than welcome to join me.

[shiningkindness]

Oh wow...that sounds really interesting. It sounds like you've stumbled onto some kind of mystery.

Sure, I'd be happy to help you look there. Where should I meet you?

[king_of_egypt]

It does, doesn't it?

Thank you again Fluttershy. I don't know if you've ever been there before but neither have I... apparently there is an Obelisk covered in runes and sigils disconcertingly named number 29 that might dispel some of the mystery.

[Then he proceeds to give her the coordinates to this]

[shiningkindness]

I'm not sure I have. Hopefully we'll be able to find something.

I'll be there as soon as I can.
