Search Requests (OLD)

Search Requests (OLD)

Characters are allowed to travel across already traveled upon squares without mod intervention, but if they are traveling across unexplored squares or want to search buildings and other areas, you will have to post here. How much searching and traveling your character can do is based on the weather, any movement penalties your character may have, and any events that may otherwise hinder travel. Common sources of movement penalties are injury and being over-encumbered--if you want to try and drag a mattress around with you, don't expect to get anywhere very quickly!

The base amount your character can travel is divided up by area of the map and then split between safe and potentially unsafe travel. Travel is on a per-square basis; safe travel is how many squares you can move and still have time to find a place to shelter for the night--you could reasonably expect to be able to backtrack a bit and settle down in a house if you find yourself in an empty square, while unsafe travel means you're traveling right up until the 8PM lockdown. If you end up in an empty square at that point, your character will be locked outside and die overnight of exposure.

The time it takes your character to search is split into a quick search and a thorough search. SEARCHING HAPPENS ON A PER-BUILDING BASIS, NOT A PER-SQUARE BASIS. A quick search of a location gives you more time to travel; a thorough search gives you less time but can yield a larger quantity of items, as well as items that would be better-hidden. By default, a quick search uses up one square of travel time, while a thorough search uses two. Especially large buildings will take longer to explore completely, but these will be noted as they are found. As far as what you can find, typically they will be items normally associated with whatever sort of building you're in. There might be more unusual items in certain areas, though...

In the case of certain buildings, things can be assumed to be included in the rooms even if they are not specifically outlined in the descriptions. There are no electronics in homes unless specifically noted. Unless otherwise noted in a specific description, assume the following is in each residential home that has these rooms mentioned:
Living Room: couch, armchair, end tables, television stand, bookcases
Kitchen: cupboards, counters/counter tops with drawers
Dining Room: dining room table, chairs (default is six chairs)
Office: desk, chair
Nursery: crib, rocking chair, changing station, small dresser
Bedroom: bed frame, mattress, dresser, nightstand
Master Bedroom: bed frame, mattress, large dresser, two nightstands
Bathroom: toiletries

Electricity and running water should not be assumed to occur in a house and will be noted in case of a house having these things. If water is mentioned, it defaults to cold water.

We encourage you to do your planned traveling all at once so we can get you your results as quickly as possible, but don't worry if IC circumstances lead to your character traveling twice in one day! You can comment again and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. While you're traveling in this manner, if at any point your character would come across something unusual or something they would have to react to, we will pause your travel there to allow you to see what they've come across and react accordingly.

August 18 - August 31

First, reply to this thread to make a top level comment where all of your search threads will go. This thread should have your character's name in the subject line. To travel into unexplored territory or search, fill out the following form, making sure to reference the setting page where necessary and let us know who is travelling with you, and reply to your own thread:


If your character would like to alter something written in the basic description of a square or building, this is also the place to put that! For example, if your character really is going to give dragging a mattress around a try, they can take one from a house if you let us know. We can both adjust the descriptions of the locations and tell you potential results/penalties. To do this, fill out the following form and reply to your top level:


Finally, we have a character location spreadsheet that lists where characters are on various days, so you can more easily see where everyone is and how it relates to your character. This is player-updated, so feel free to make a row for your character and start adding where they've been!

Starting Point: M11
Squares Traveled: 2 (3 if you count where he started, I guess.)
Areas Searched:
M11 - 61 - THOROUGHLY
M11 - if there's any obvious other major tourist attraction houses of note there - QUICKLY
L11 - if there is one - QUICKLY
L10 - see above - QUICKLY
Anything Else? He's looking for Gae Bolg in M11, but obviously there isn't going to be a Gae Bolg anywhere. (Hope springs eternal, though.) Or large sticks he can use to bludgeon people with or other weapons he can use to kill people wi- look, he just died in Murderfest. Or I guess coats? Or people. People's good.

Starting Point: L10
Squares Traveled: 4
Areas Searched:
L9 - ??? - QUICKLY
K9 - ???? - QUICKLY
J9 - the mystery continues - QUICKLY
I9 - 43, apparently - QUICKLY
Anything Else? Besides the shit he won't find (people he knows, Gae Bolg) it would be large thwaking sticks, large fuzzy blankets that he can drape across his shoulders as he gazes across the snowy wasteland like an aged king, food, and people.

...I guess if someone happens to have picked one of these squares on Day 002 stop it there and let me know so I can ping 'em and see if they want to do shit? If it's not too much work for you, of course. If it's a pain in the ass then ignore this and do all four.

Starting Point: G9
Squares Traveled: I think it's 6, although since he'll end up in the school I don't know how you guys count that.
Areas Searched:
G8 - Nothing - Passing through
G7 - Nothing - Passing through because nothing
H7 - School - QUICKLY, I guess
H6 - School - Also QUICKLY, since I'm imagining he sort of dicks around with the intent of coming back tomorrow opposed to thoroughly searching, but ends up...
I8 - ??? - Starting to haul ass because oh shit it's getting cold
I9 - 42 - And due to hauling ass before freezing ends up going back, by accident, to the murder clown house
Anything Else? ...so I really want an excuse to have an IC post about clowns. Just imagine. Relief he won't freeze to death! And then he goes oh. Oh you. And then the door clicks.

G8 - Nothing - This is a fuck ton of nothing
G7 - Nothing - Still nothing, fucking impregnable building
G6 - 29 - THOROUGHLY because probably at this point he's stuck. And cold.
Anything Else? He's basically furiously trying to get into the school because it annoys him (and also because I've got a log coming up somewhere in the general vicinity, good times, if I don't have him there then it would suck.)

Okay, I'm phoning it in so apologies for any mistakes. But.

Starting Point: G6
Squares Traveled: 5-6, with backtracking
Areas Searched:
H6 - Nothing - He's mainly heading into school
H5 - 30 - Quickly
I5 - 30 - Quickly
I6 - Nada - Probably this is the point in which he wastes a bunch of time going ????????? on the network
H6 - Nothing - ??? might intensify, but he'll just go to the shack because like hell he's going to stay at that place for the night, it might be a large building and he's not afraid of punching a demon but shit that was an ill omen
G6 - 29 - Noping away from the school because seriously, what an omen
Anything Else? I guess he's looking for food, corpses, weapons, and any signs that someone opened up a magical rift and summoned hell spawn from the abyss e.g. creepy runes. He can't cast, but he can at least go, "That looks like creepy cultist bullshit."

God damn, actually gonna do this early.

Starting Point: G6
Squares Traveled: 4
Areas Searched:
G5 - Nada - Passing through
G4 - Nada - Passing through
G3 - 21 - QUICKLY, in the sense he might duck in and look the water makes it clear he'll want to nope away and he's probably getting distracted by the communicator doing it's thing.
G2 - 14 - THOROUGHLY, mainly because he's spending the night there.
Anything Else? Looking for Bard's corpse because the man mentioned a teddy bear and Lancer promised him that he'd bring word to his children so why not also the bear...at least up until the point Bard says hi (if he does given the static) in which case it'll turn into him looking for Bard himself. Plus is, not gonna lie, a little spooked about the school given spending two days in 29 and all, and basically he needs some him time. Some personal space time!

Other things include pointy objects.

Areas Searched:
H2 - Nothing - Why search when there's nothing
H1 - 4 - THOROUGHLY
Anything Else? 08 would be the day in which he realized that randomly roaming around looking for someone is pretty tough without a coherent map and might start mooching off of the group map.

Anything Else? Fucking around intensifies. I may or may not be stalling for time until I figure out if a log is a thing or not with someone else.

Location: F1, building 3
What Are They Doing? Dumping a bunch of beads because he's not sure why he's carried them around to this point - he had noble ideas about leaving his mark but now he's got a knife he can just make a more direct mark if he feels like it (which he doesn't) and so will be dumping it in the wheelchair.

It was a nice thought but then he ended up in the shack, the static happened, he flipped, things happened, and now it's like oh, right. Eh.

E1 - Nothing - As there's nothing, I imagine he's just examining the wall. Interpret that as a quickly or thoroughly as you will.
D1 - 8 - THOROUGHLY
D1 - 2 - THOROUGHLY
Anything Else? Default the thoroughlies to quickly in the event he finds something at the great wall of wall that would take up his time.

Day 011

[personal profile] croi 2015-07-02 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
And assuming that holds up...okay. In the event this doesn't work I've got a plan b, for the record, but my goals here are maximizing the amount of nothing possible for him to find.

Starting Point: D1
Squares Traveled: 6
Areas Searched:
C1 - Park - Is there anything to search in a park?
C2 - More park - Either way, park.
C3 - Park Continues - Well, it's probably scenic in a wasteland sort of way.
C4 - God, this is a fuck ton of nothing - Wandering wandering wandering.
D4 - Nothing, and yes, he's tragically missing both the convenience store as well as any chance at the funeral home. Because unlucky. - Wandering wandering wandering.
D5 - 28 - THOROUGHLY because he ends up here for the night because he's hauling ass.
Anything Else? On an IC level it's looking for holes in the walls because he can. On an OOC level, like said above, it's him trying to minimize the amount of shit he'll find for day 11. (And then he can have conversations with people that amount to, "Did you find the store?" "What store?" "You would've passed right by it." "fff...")

Priorities.
croi: (Hey look it's Saber Lion again.)

Day 012

[personal profile] croi 2015-07-07 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
Starting Point: D5
Squares Traveled: 5
Areas Searched:
D4 - Scenic and pristine rubble - Passing by
C4 - He was just here, so - Still passing through
C3 - Oh hey, the park - QUICKLY
C2 - More park - QUICKLY
D2 - 13 - THOROUGHLY, because this is where he stops for the night
Anything Else? C3's quickly could be described as, "Are there bodies whoa there are bodies indeed." Given Tim mentioned feeling watched (because of the town and effects, but that said) he'd probably just see if there's anything obviously wrong like...zombies rising from their frozen grave or whatever.

There probably isn't any. But, if you're in the area anyway you might as well check because friends don't let friends get stalked by shit.

C2's basically, "Is this one big bodies intensifying?" Might poke a little, but probably not much because all he has to really dig with is a stick, a frisbee, and a knife and there's a thing called snow. Like he shows up and then goes oh, right. He should have the things to do the thing and he probably doesn't.

And 13's just awesome because he figured he'd have to haul ass back to D1 and yo, housing.

E6 - 35 - THOROUGHLY

1. What happens if a character were to toss aside their shit, including their tablet, while running from the creatures? Would they have to walk back to grab it later?
2. More importantly, if two idiots (Lancer and Zack) were exploring the school when shit intensifies and end up reenacting the raptor scene from Jurassic Park except replace raptors with the shadow things, would they be able to bust open a window and escape that way (go from I7 to I9 through a window) or are the two of us stuck having them run around the school the long way/having them to hide in a shack?

"But why would they just merely pass through the funeral home?" you might ask. It's because the last time someone did (Clayton) he ended up leaving a touching message on the network. It's good to find out why people died before doing the thing.

Stuff he's looking for: probably Bard's body if it's lying around in there. Dude made a promise. The promise is becoming increasingly awkward.

To be honest it's probably just gonna be some kind of suitably long sticks that could double as a spear and/or sword so him and Zack can, assuming both of them survive long enough, at some point wail at each other in the snow like idiots.

Or an actual spear because Archer. (Gae Bolg intensifies but not all dreams are meant to come true.)

The above still applies. And they can be half-assedly 'searching' while yelling at people over the communicator.
