“Welcome, all of you to the annual hunt! Now, I doubt that any of you know why you’re here, do you? Anyone? No? Okay then, allow me to explain. You see, You all will be hunting for items on this list here”
“What kind of items?”
“Important items, now shut up and let me finish. These items are located around the city, so you’ll have some fun looking for them!”
“So its a scavenger hunt?”
“Yes, but for more important things than say pine cones, or Easter eggs. So take a look at your lists!”
“Aren’t these things illegal?”
“Illegal? No. important yes!”
“These things are tasks, not items!”
“Now don’t be ridiculous, what intention would I have to give 7 year old children ‘illegal’ tasks instead of important items. I want you to have fun!”
“Well OK..”
“Alright, have fun and remember, keep it a secret!”
Later that week
“Reportedly some people were giving children orders to start utter anarchy throughout the city. What do we do?”
“Well we can’t arrest them, their kids!”
“Who told them this?”
“The kids won’t tell”
