I heard of the legend of Poketechopia. How it came about, what happened on that fateful day, when David Pallas decided to put in some easter eggs. Of course, that could just be a simple rumour, no more than just an urban legend. He did a good job with it; I looked up at the sky, the beautiful blue expanse dotted with white fluffy clouds that rolled lazily across. Good job, David. However, I needed to find this out. What Easter Egg? What did he put in this world that was different? Slowly strolling, I saw three bridges; the famed Nordoponte Bridges. Looking carefully, which was the bridge that was over water? I was not sure if there was any but I had to look carefully. I will walk over that bridge into the huge Bastos Park. I needed to explore. The familiar phrase, that described this area, rang in my mind: Although that's believed to be all that's programmed into the city simulation, should anything else be discovered, it will be in here as well! I crossed my fingers and looked under the bridges, hoping to find a river. |

((I don't know what bridge you're looking under so I'll say it's the one farthest west.)) Upon first glance under the bridge, there seemed to be nothing spectacular. The water seemed to simply flow around the city in a clockwise direction, going under the bridge quite realistically. It was then that you noticed a little chunk of something bronze underneath the bridge, as if mounted on the bottom. Getting as close as you could, and looking into the reflection made by the water, the letter W was clearly visible engraved onto what appeared to be a metal plaque. A small shape was more or less visible beneath the letter, and you had to squint and focus to make out what it was: a very small engraving of a heart. Search as you might, there was nothing else unusual about this bridge. |

There it was. It was a W with a heart underneath. My fingers itched; what could I do with this? Could I reach it? No, I better not risk it. Touching it wouldn't solve much though. I got up slowly, from my knees. I already searched this west-most bridge, and wondered where the other bridges were. I crossed the bridge, to the wide expanse of Bastos Park and I turned left, walking. I would walk along the river, since it circled the whole city, until I see the next bridge. I would then search under it again; hopefully more clues would be uncovered. This quest was hard to do alone, but I sighed. I didn't know anyone else who were on this quest. --- Easter Eggs found: W with Heart Engraving below it |

The pyramid Tim had found slammed repeatedly against his thigh as he ran, it would have served him well to have moved it, but there was no time. The bridge, it had been one of the places he had considered searching, but thought that it was impossible for anything to have been their. Had he been wrong? As Tim drew near, the bridge was definitely empty, there was no one there. Tim sighed, his trail had run cold. He was about to sit down on the bridge, when something caught his eye. It was a person, walking away from the bridge. That was the one. Tim jumped to his feet, and ran off of the bridge, following behind them. |

I walked on, endeavouring to reach the next bridge as quick as possible when I heard footsteps hurrying behind me. Turning around swiftly, I stared at the boy who was following me. I tried to be intimidating, but I guessed I failed; in this digital world, it was a little harder to be loud and booming. Who knows why. I said, "Why are you following me?" It struck me only then he might be one of the people who were searching for Easter Eggs like me. Spying the bulge in his pants, I really hoped it was something valuable. Maybe, just maybe, I would consider working with someone else this time. |

(The bulge in my pants? Hah.) The person turned suddenly, asking, "Why are you following me?" Tim stumbled for a moment, that was a member of Team Rocket. Aha! Maybe if they discovered these secrets, they could keep them for Team Rocket. "I'm looking for the secrets of Poketechopia, which, I believe, you are too. I also think you're a member of TR, just like me," Tim said, slowly, choosing his words carefully. He felt that this was a situation that he should be a little more cautious in his approach to this situation, it was everyday you stumbled upon a fellow member, our numbers were so low. Tim showed her the black pyramid, to seal the deal. |

"Okay. Let's go then." There was nothing left to say; nothing left to do. We were both from Team Rocket but I didn't feel exactly close to the organization, since I just joined. The team pay was also cut and thus there was nothing much I really want to do for the team. However, relations still have to be kept and appearances have to be protected. I walked forwards as quick as possible. Names didn't need to be exchanged. I just needed to check the bridge. This boy could be useful soon; or maybe his black pyramid could be. I hoped he could hurry. The quicker this job was done, the faster I could get other things done in Poketechopia. ((Sorry!)) |

There was a similar plaque underneath this bridge (the south one, since you're going around in a circle and I'm assuming you went the shortest distance), though the letter and symbol were different. A large "S" was engraved into it, and beneath the S, an indentation that resembled the negative of the little pyramid that Tim had. It looked as if inserting the pyramid gem into the hole, point-first, it might just fit perfectly in there. The bad part was, it was beneath the bridge, and it wasn't exactly like you could just reach under it and shove it up. You were going to have to find a way to get directly underneath it, despite the rushing river flowing around below. Or of course you could just do something else first. |

Tim checked under the bridge, as did his new partner. A pattern was clearly forming, the S was for South, and each bridge would have a different imprint. Most likely, they would be hidden in the other two buildings beside the pub. Seemed simple, but it didn't seem like they could get far enough under the bridge from here to push the shape in. Tim stood again, sighing. There seemed to be nothing else to do but move on to the next bridge, even if they would only find out the next shape they needed. "We should probably go to the next bridge, I suppose," Tim said. |

"Yes." I walked again, as fast as possible. The next bridge would be quite far because it either could be the North Bridge or the East Bridge. There were only 3 bridges and yet I only knew of the presence of these two. --- After walking and talking to the boy, we knew what to do. We would see this last bridge, then get those symbols. |

((Hmm... Sylph... if you've found the West bridge and the South bridge, you wouldn't be confused as to what the next one would be, it would be pretty obvious that it would be the East one. I'm pretty sure that's simple directional logic... the North bridge would not be right next to the South one)) Searching under the bridge between Bastos Park and the main town located in the east, you found the same sort of plaque. This one had a large "E" on it, and below, had an odd engraving that at first glance appeared to be a slightly misshaped clover. There was no clear way to get to this one, though, either, short of putting yourself into the river. |

They reached the next bridge easily, the new shape was a sort of clover. Things seemed pretty straightforward from here on. "I guess we should head to the Trefle Cafe for this shape, it's the closest. Then the Hart Station for the heart. How 'bout it?" Tim suggested. (Meh, short post.) |

"Okay." It was logical; it was what we were discussing earlier when we walked. We already had the pyramind. The next step was to get these two shapes and figure out how to put these shapes in. In desperate times, I would most definitely agree to leap into the water, just to put in these objects. Turning about, I asked the boy, "Shall we split up and meet here? I'll go to Hart Station to find the heart." And without waiting for a reply, I left. ((We don't need to create separate topics, just post each of us looking at these individual places.)) Along the outside of the Hart Station, I searched everywhere; along the walls, on the floor, in every crook and cranny. I even looked up at the sky, trying to spot a heart shape in something; in anything! |

('kay) "Sure, we might as well. We should go back here with whatever we find," Tim agreed, walking south. The Trefle Cafe wasn't far, he was there soon. When he found the pyramid, it was behind the pub. It seemed like a good place to start, Tim worked his way to the back of the busy building, and began examining each of the bricks, looking for another shape. (Meh.) |
