JUNE 2019 - SCAVENGER HUNT
COOKING
·Post 32 *FINISHED*

48/50
AL DENTE
BAKE - #8 (loc 3485, 72%)
I want to bake her brownies, and I've never baked a fucking thing in my life past a frozen pizza.
BEAT - #5 (loc 3763, 74%)
"Can we beat her to death?" Caswyn asked, watching Zoya reach the top without any real effort. "Yes," Kachka and Nina said together as they passed.
BLEND - #11 (loc 369, 21%)
It should have clashed, but instead it melded into a perfect blend of Texas, Spain, and Morocco.
BOIL - #3 (loc 279, 17%)
A regular day of being shot at and snuggling in the grass with a guy who makes my blood boil.
BURN - #4 (loc 2558, 65%)
She felt warm. Not like…on fire, villagers-want-to-burn-me warm but…toasty. Safe.
CHILL - #2 (loc 852, 46%)
"You sound like a deranged surfer, all fuck, dude and chill, bro and hella sweet and hang ten." "I never goddamn fucking said hang ten in my life."
CHOP - #7 (loc 3048, 95%)
"But if I don't get out of here now, Heimdall is going to kill me for real. Chop, chop, mighty handsome Viking."
CREAM - #9 (loc 2052, 59%)
"Do you like ice cream, Emily?" "Do fish like water? Ugh, yeah, I do."
CUBE - #8 (loc 2933, 61%)
Felicity slips an ice cube down my back, and I yelp, because fuck, where did she get that from?
DASH - #8 (loc 1345, 29%)
Dixie climbs out of the pile to lick my face while Tiger dashes for another round of playing with the sleepy cow-puppy.
DICE - #4 (loc 25, 1%)
"Let me guess. Those claws - are those so that you can rip your enemies apart? The better to slice and dice?"
DRAIN - #2 (loc 1176, 64%)
"What the fucking fuck?" I ask, feeling the blood drain from my face.
DRIZZLE - #7 (loc 1769, 56%)
It smells sweet and a little strange, but I'll try anything once. I drizzle the "syrup" over the bread and sample it.
FLAVOR - #4 (loc 513, 13%)
Her mouth opened beneath his. His tongue swept past her lips. She tasted him. Realized that she loved his flavor. Rich, masculine. And the guy could kiss. Her bare toes were practically curling against the grass.
FOLD - #13 (loc 907, 30%)
"You could stay." And I do. I fold my wings and follow her through the door, shutting the wind and the skies and the rest of the world outside.
FREEZE - #7 (loc 59, 4%)
You can literally freeze your balls off in this shite. Ball-freezing cold. That's what I'm talking about.
FROST - #7 (loc 91, 5%)
Hel hadn't been toying with gods and frost giants like a set of adorable dolls in her fun house. She'd been welcoming the freshly dead to her underground realm beneath Yggdrasil.
FRY - #14 (loc 1688, 59%)
Hey, she was mad, but she wasn't about to yell at a pregnant woman. Besides, it was Holt's balls she needed to fry.
GRATE - #4 (loc 55, 2%)
She shook her head. Made a tut-tut-tut sound that grated on his nerves.
GREASE - #11 (loc 280, 16%)
She wore a pretty lavender dress decorated with tiny silk flowers. If Mom had put me into that dress when I was her age, it would be covered with mud and engine grease in about five minutes.
GRILL - #2 (loc 477, 26%)
It feels like years worth of maple syrup and grease from the grill have settled over the whole diner, leaving it with this grimy, fuzzy sort of feeling that both comforts and disgusts me.
GRIND - #6 (loc 559, 56%)
Grinding his teeth, he fought the need to fuck her without restraint. He wanted to drag out the moment as long as possible, create memories for both of them of a hungry need so powerful they'd reverberate for years.
HARD - #5 (loc 685, 14%)
But the desk was no longer there and Ghleanna hit the ground hard. She came up cursing. "What the unholy fuck-?"
HEAT - #6 (loc 454, 46%)
The curve of his gorgeous mouth was wicked, but the heat in his eyes was tender and warm.
ICE - #7 (loc 122, 5%)
Its white eyes are more chilling than the spike of ice betwixt my butt cheeks.
KNEAD - #14 (loc 138, 5%)
He'd already seen her girls unfettered anyway. Hell, he'd spent most of the night suckling and kneading them anyway. He was better acquainted with them than she was.
LAYER - #3 (loc 866, 49%)
But at least she's now wearing a shirt that actually covers her body. And decided to add a thick protective layer of makeup.
MASH - #12 (loc 2997, 93%)
Like forcing Jell-O into mashed potatoes, fingers of power oozed into the space where his soul was supposed to be.
MEASURE - #5 (loc 3251, 64%)
Keita dropped her head and pressed her hands to her eyes again. She even added some shoulder shakes in for good measure
MELT - #1 (loc 2009, 61%)
He glared at me so hard, I thought surely my face would melt right off and slide to a puddle on the floor.
MIX - #8 (loc 2038, 43%)
I pack my dogs up and leave Dixie and Pancake with my parents' aging Dalmatian lab mix, Isaac Woofton.
MOLD - #10 (loc 434, 66%)
She aims the hairdryer at me and turns it on. And hell, it actually works. "Spread em!" she demands. "I'm fine!" "You can't stay wet down there, Trent, your balls'll go moldy." "You're not going to let this rest, are you?"
OIL - #10 (loc 26, 4%)
"Guess they did make me look fuckin' boring. Kama Sutra and oil and screams of ecstasy."
OVEN - #12 (loc 1868, 58%)
On the stove, a bubbling pot stirred itself. The oven opened, and a roast slid out, basted itself, and retreated.
PARE
PEEL - #3 (loc 614, 35%)
He starts up the bike with a roar of the engine and peels away from the curb, and I swear to God I can hear him laughing as he takes off down the street.
PINCH - #4 (loc 2053, 53%)
"What's the pinch for?" "To see if I'm dreaming." "Shouldn't you have pinched yourself?"
QUARTER - #13 (loc 135, 6%)
The unassuming shotgun house sits on the edge of Mid-City where the bright lights of the French Quarter fade.
RAW- #7 (loc 417, 15%)
"Listen, you sneaky little bastard," I threaten. "Tell me what the Hel is going on, or I'll have you on a plate for supper. Raw." My growling stomach backs up the warning.
RISE - #13 (loc 1354, 44%)
"Heaven tried to make me kneel once. It's done the same to you, I see." Bristling, I rise unaided, and Lucifer smiles.
SCRAMBLE - #1 (loc 312, 10%)
Stumbling blindly from the sharp sting, I attempted to scramble upward, only to stand on a cylinder-shaped candle and, like some demented log roller, lose my footing once more.
SEPARATE - #8 (loc 1945, 42%)
We wade into the crowd, and the six of us are suddenly separated by a sea of perfume and jerseys so small, they'd fit better on toddlers than on full-figured women.
SKIN - #1 (loc 1168, 36%)
"The good news is, you had a bra on, Stevie. I've seen more skin on SpongeBob SquarePants than you were showing."
SMOKE - #2 (loc 1365, 74%)
I cock one brow as I smoke my cigarette, ignoring the lewd hand motions Turner's making at me from the porch.
STEAM - #12 (loc 1406, 44%)
A mug floated down from the cupboard and the cocoa poured itself, releasing tendrils of steam that curled oddly against the force that was Logan.
STIR - #9 (loc 521, 15%)
Ah, but he did. The devil on his shoulder was itching to stir up shit.
TOSS - #5 (loc 1327, 26%)
Keita lifted her skirts and, with a toss of her royal head, walked around her cousin, making sure to brush up against her as she did.
WARM - #2 (loc 608, 33%)
The sensation of his warm, tattooed fingers curling around mine is something I don't think I could ever forget.
WHIP - #4 (loc 897, 23%)
Luckily, a hard, strong hand grabbed her arm. Steadied her. Then whipped her around. "I said 'please' for shit's sake!"

Carryovers
5/12
Music
ALTO
BASS - #13 (loc 1732, 55%)
The neighborhood symphony of blaring car horns and muffled bass from a rattling car stereo a few houses down cuts through the silence, but Lucifer is as unrelenting in his search for answers as he ever was in Heaven.
DUET
EMBELLISH - #4 (loc 3035, 77%)
"Thought that was just embellishment BS. Something to make her rep even stronger."
GENRE
HYMN - #2 (loc 1047, 57%)
If I wanted to listen to music, I had two choices: an old Dolly Parton record I'd found on a dusty player in the basement or a tape of the prophet's sister wives singing hymns.
IMPROVISE - #7 (loc 1829, 58%)
He's actually kind of fun to be around. And he serves as a great improvised weapon in a pinch.
INTERVAL - #12 (loc 613, 19%)
I engaged my active listening skills. I nodded at regular intervals as I watched his jaw work. Strong, sharp jaw.
Bowling
MIXER
State Fair
BUMPER CARS
CORN DOGS
Chicago
PIONEER
