[ Did Yuri literally go out and buy a burner phone just so he could make this post under the guise of anonymity? Yes, yes he did. Is he also a painfully predictable sixteen year old who thinks he's more clever about aforementioned anonymity than he actually is? Most definitely. Pretty much anyone who knows Yuri even slightly is going to see the hell through that username- but fuck it, right? This is a god damn important question. And since he and Otabek haven't really. Officially announced things ~~to anyone who isn't considered family, anyway~~ well, this seems like his best bet to get advice without you know... lighting up their relationship to all of Riverview. Not that Yuri doesn't want to do that, eventually- but they're still in their fledgling stages. He's just not quite ready yet. ]

So I just started dating someone recently and like. They're really cool, and great, and have been way too nice to me in the presents department- so I want to pay them back, you know? Spoil them too. Problem is- they're really hard to shop for. Like. They're so cool but also minimalist and it's fucking hard, okay. I keep feeling like all of my ideas are okay, but not good enough for someone as great as he is. And I want to do something that's like- the best. The absolute best. Money isn't really a concern but, being reasonable is better than not. I don't think he'd appreciate the stupid champagne and diamonds treatment... that's so lame... diamonds aren't even rare. Also, it's probably way too soon for diamonds. I don't want to scare him off-

[ This is about the point where Yuri realizes he's rambling, and that he's getting off track because he's so fucking nervous. ]

I've never been in a relationship before. And I want to make it as good for him as he does for me.

tl;dr gift suggestions for the coolest guy on the planet who also seems to have everything he wants needed, assholes with basic bitch suggestions not welcome, or wanted.

Holy shit, finally someone who isn't a complete fucking moron about their suggestions.
amazing, one of you idiots has at least half a romantic brain cell. They should give you some kind of award.

[ And if Cisco didn't already know it was Yuri, wellllll... that plethora of cursing probably helped confirm it. ]

That... actually sounds really cool. A treasure hunt. It's out of the ordinary and I think he'd really like that. Shit.

[ Yep. That's definitely Yuri. Not just the swearing, but the specific way he swears. No mistaking it. ]

just glad i could help.
you can hide hints in places the two of you hung out at or whatever
maybe six or seven spots before the final location?

That's really cool. Should i leave like. Letters and balloons or something to mark the clues? What if people steal them though...

i guess there is always that danger
you could always deputize some folks
have them hang out and then hand over the clues when he gets there
that way they can also text you and let you know his progress, in case he gets lost or stuck on the way?
were you thinking of searching with him or waiting at the end?

Yeah... wonder if I could get enough people to help though. That's a really good idea though-
then I wouldn't have to get all worked up waiting to find out if he's figuring it out or not and make myself uh. Panic.

I think waiting at the end would have the most effect. That'd be cool, to be there to spring it on him when he figures it all out.

def agree about the waiting at the end thing
it's a better surprise
and you won't be tempted to give him extra hints along the way, or slip and say something you shouldn't

and i'm sure we can find enough people
there's me and eddie (i'm just volunteering him automatically lbr)
i'm pretty sure i know a couple guys who'd help out if i asked
and i'm sure you more folks than you think
if you're worried they're busy just put them on the first few clues

The last thing I would want to do is spoil a big surprise like this. It would be way too much fun. Also a little nerve wracking; what if my clues are too hard?

I don't have that many locations that I think would be appropriate for us to use, but...

[ The idea is already forming in Yuri's head, the way he'll do it- walking Otabek through their memories together in Riverview, until...

God, and it's so sappy, Yuri is almost disgusted with himself. But it's so good, too- and... He thinks- hopes- that Otabek will like it. That he'll enjoy himself and see what Yuri is going for as he travels through the Quarantine. ]

So. You, Eddie, probably my best friend here that isn't Otabek- [ Which would be Ivar, believe it or not. ] The guy who I train with... I think that would be enough people, then with me at the end. That way it's not too long and doesn't drive both him and me crazy.

yeah five's plenty for sure

you got ideas where you want to hide them?

and don't sweat it about the clues, i'm sure you can make them tricky without being impossible!

you gonna be waiting at the end with a gift, or is the scavenger hunt itself the gift?

I think so. Maybe. Just like, a vague idea I guess. The skating rink for sure, but that one is pretty obvious- so maybe send him there first? Hm.

I'm gonna wait with a gift. Everyone keeps saying I should make something, but...

[ Yuri really doesn't know how to make anything, honestly. ]

Headphones sound cool. He'd like those, and he could use them for work. He's getting pretty big around Riverview, he told me some magazine wants to do an interview about his music.

[ Yuri is a little jealous, honestly. He misses being in the spotlight, to an extent. ]

yeah definitely start with an easy one
the rink sounds perfect

[ Cisco considers for a moment before he suggests: ]

get him some headphones with like, really nice sound quality (i can probably help w that if you want i've had to build a fair amount of stuff involving sound waves)
and then what you do is
you decorate them
that way it's nice headphones that are good for his work
but they have a personal touch that you'd get with making something yourself?
