Why this must be read: This is a fun, crazy ride with sleep-deprivation, intense rivalries, and a Jensen that is very good at planning for a scavenger hunt. And really, it's a fic about a giant scavenger hunt!

Lakeview Hall

The headquarters at the Lakeview dorm was absolute chaos at two o'clock on Saturday morning, thirty-six hours into the hunt. One copy of The List was taped to the wall between the tall windows overlooking the lakefront, items crossed off in various colors. Pencil meant someone was looking into it, like Jensen's call to his dad about the letter from a consulate, although he was losing hope on that one since regular business hours were long since over. Red meant something that someone had to do on Sunday when the judging took place and a willing victim had been found, like the poor schmuck who was going to consume a packet of powder from a Kraft Macaroni n' Cheese box without drinking anything. Black meant the item was physically in the room, like the copy of Plato's Republic with all of the i's dotted with hearts, worth thirty-five points. Jensen's hand was still cramped from helping to finish that one.

The top of the list had the guaranteed point totals on Post-it notes that could be updated as necessary. The current total of 276 points was depressingly low, and as Jensen looked over the list, he thought there were a disturbingly large number of items on the list that were blank. How could they not have a quickening lined up? This was a university full of nerds; there had to be Highlander geeks around here somewhere. And surely they could find someone who could recite the Star Wars trilogy from memory given a starting point from any of the three films. He could probably manage the original, but there had to be someone who could do all three.
