The Great YWS Treasure Hunt
A YWS Tagbook
Storybook Month 2020
Starting Note: Tagbooks are a special kind of storybook. Instead of making a character profile, the character you write for is yourself - and other members of the site! Your goal is to tag as many users as you possibly can in your posts, while also telling a story. In this case, you're telling the story of the Great YWS Treasure Hunt, which was hyped up last month with a Captain's Challenge requesting additional ships/storybooks to be built!
Tagbooks are usually wacky, random and filled with fourth wall breaks - if you're lucky enough to be tagged, or just want to pop in with a post of your own, you're in for a treat!
( Here's an old tagbook, if you're still confused.
And here's the link to the YWS Birthday tagbook from last November! )

As Mage looked out across the seven storybooking seas, she tried to remember the last time she had done a tagbook. It felt like an eternity ago, but she was fairly certain that it had just been in November - back during the peak of the #Classified vs. #LongLiveBigBrother debate. Doing a tagbook always gave her a fresh wave of nostalgia - it reminded of her of when she was a brand new YWSer.
But fourth wall breaks and reminiscing aside, Mage was excited. This was going to be the greatest adventure the SB Crew and its many allies had ever embarked on. Armed with a ship of her own and a trusty crew, Mage was prepared for the treasure hunt that they had finally set sail on - even though the month was already a third of the way through. Her gaze swept across her ship as she looked down from the crow's nest. First mate @soundofmind (a title sound claimed for herself during the first storybook month write-in, but one Mage wasn't going to dispute), falconer @Featherstone, navigator @AstralHunter, gunner @ScarlettFire and Mage's recently returned brother/boatswain @sheyren all were eagerly awaiting the first sign of their treasure.
They were almost there. Mage was sure of it - they had the best map-maker of YWS on their side. Though the greatest treasure in the seven storybooking seas had only been heard about in myths, @LZPianoGirl had used her mapmaking skills to draw the most trustworthy of all - and @ShapeOfVoid had provided some great editing where needed.
Her gaze turned to the other boats sailing alongside them. A few ships away, @Bullet was holding an impromptu writing session to keep the ship from getting bored. @alliyah and @Arcticus had a similar idea, but they had decided to start serenading the crews on the ships they were on with some beautiful poetry. Even without looking through her spyglass, Mage knew their audiences would be teary-eyed.
Mage climbed down from the crow's nest, landing on the deck of the ship with a resounding thud as she jumped off of a few ladder rungs from the bottom. As Mage started to head over to her brother to do some good-natured teasing to kill the time, @Elinor climbed out from below deck - she must have been working on the script to her next amazing movie.
Mage gave a wave and opened her mouth to say hello, but there was suddenly an enormous rumble of thunder and the brightest flash of lightning Mage had ever seen. Maybe she should have looked at the sky instead of just straight ahead - the skies were almost pitch black with storm clouds!
The waves started to roughly slam against the hull of the ship.
Mage gulped - it looked like they were in for a rough one!
