Following several months of recuperation after the spectacle he made of himself during the Orient launch celebrations and subsequently surviving the harrowing ordeal of escaping and eluding his Babylonian kidnappers (during which he was forced to dress as a Mesopotamian princess and hide in King Zig's harem to avoid the guards), our beloved Bao Bei has at last made his way home. *sigh* (That's his wittle picture on the wall.)

As we all know, NO citizen of AncientWorlds — not even the Divine Jot — can afford to have this little furball move in for very long. You would break the bank trying to keep him in chocolate, cherries, bamboo, and alcoholic beverages. (Yes, Bao Bei is of age, so it's okay.) So, your missions — those of you brave enough to accept one or the other — are these:

1. You may choose to be an Oriental Sleuth (or Roman or Egyptian or Celtic, etc.) and see if you can find WHERE Bao Bei is hiding. If you manage it, you'll receive a small badge to place in your homesite. Every year, the person who collects the most badges will be awarded the Sosokan-sama's Sleuth of the Year award during Springfest. Sign up here to compete for this coveted (*cough, choke*) award; or



2. You may play host to Bao Bei for as long as it takes for one of our detectives to find him (a dangerous assignment, indeed!) For this you will receive a nice plaque for your home that reads, "I survived Bao Bei's visit."

If you wish to play host to Bao Bei, please GRAM or EMAIL* one of the Orient scribes — No scrolls please. Those are public and you'll be giving away hints!! LOL Once our first volunteer host has contacted us, the game will be afoot!!
