Valentine's Day Mission [OPEN TO ALL]
Who: (Future)Trunks Briefs (light_of_willpower) and you!
What: Of COURSE Trunks is going to go to Ancient Greece and try and help retrieve Cupid's bow and arrows. It's not going to be easy though.
Where: Non-fiction-History-section, Ancient Greece
When:Valentine's Day
Warnings: ...fanservice?
Scenario 0: Research
Trunks wasn't kidding when he'd said he had no knowledge of Greece or anywhere like it. Which meant, even if they were in a hurry, he was still going to take an hour at least and go get a primer. Running through the halls, getting some direction and then heading for History. Time to get some basic information on customs and culture, who these gods were, and so on if they were supposed to 'blend' in.
Scenario 1: Hate Arrows
This had not been what Trunks was expecting, not least of which because of how he was dressed. He'd been assured his clothing was appropriate given he was a warrior... But it was definitely not what was used to. At least he was able to take his sword, even if he'd be trying to blend in.
Heading through the portal, it wasn't far to find things had already gotten bad. People fighting with each other, and thank Kami it was farmers and villagers. Children fighting each other with rocks and sticks against their parents, small brawls of adults of both genders, and he sighed to himself. Okay, time to start cracking some heads. He could knock them out, and that'd stop the fighting right? Just had to defend himself too.
Which meant, unless it was needed to parry, he kept the sword at his back sheathed as he waded into the fray.
Scenario 4: SO CLOSE
Trunks had managed to meet up with some of the other Library-people, and they'd been so close! The tangle of chaos as some people loved and others hated, and everyone argued and fought had been a mess. So far he'd managed to avoid most trouble, but this group of citizens was too large to handle on his own. Not and be 'discreet' about it. Good thing they went in a group in the city—but they must've just missed the culprit!
Scenario 7: Wandering around
This is the open option if you want to encounter Trunks while running around trying to deal with retrieving arrows and bow. He's at least dressed time-period appropriately (minus the shield and helmet above) and did some research before coming here, but this is definitely not his favorite situation to be in. (Darn fussy Gods....)

"If you're hunting a thief, then try playing a part that will let you," she said when laying down the book on another page about astynomia- people for the city's law, essentially. "Not all places or times had police, exactly, but where there are thieves, there's always people around that're supposed to catch them."
Well. Or try to. No one really caught Trance and there were times when she found things, and the rare time when she had to be a thief and steal things. "Luckily, age isn't so much a factor as whether you were fit and capable enough."

Considering the time-limit though? Worth the risk.
"I'm still more concerned about learning who these Gods are. The impression I've gotten so far implies they're prideful and picky." And hypocritical, but he wasn't saying that out-loud. "Given they're also gods, I really don't want to have to tangle with one or their agents if I don't have to."
Moving to get to his feet, Trunks bowed in greeting. "Thank you. Also my name is Trunks. It is nice to meet you."
