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. Residential Zone One: August 18 - August 31 Day 027 - Day 031 Safe: 5 Squares morning start, 4 Squares day start Potentially Unsafe: 6 Squares morning start, 5 Squares day start September 1 - September 30 Day 032 - Day 041 Safe: 5 Squares morning start, 4 Squares day start Potentially Unsafe: 6 Squares morning start, 5 Squares day start Residential Zone Two: August 18 - August 31 Day 027 - Day 031 Safe: 5 Squares morning start, 4 Squares day start Potentially Unsafe: 6 Squares morning start, 5 Squares day start September 1 - September 30 Day 032 - Day 041 Safe: 5 Squares morning start, 4 Squares day start Potentially Unsafe: 6 Squares morning start, 5 Squares day start Ice Caves: August 18 - August 31 Day 027 - Day 031 Safe: 7 Squares morning start, 6 Squares day start Potentially Unsafe: 8 Squares morning start, 7 Squares day start September 1 - September 30 Day 032 - Day 041 Safe: 7 Squares morning start, 6 Squares day start Potentially Unsafe: 8 Squares morning start, 7 Squares day start 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: <b>Starting Point:</b> The square your character is starting from. <b>Squares Traveled:</b> The amount of squares your character will be traveling, not counting the square they start from. If your character is backtracking, that will add to this amount, so please note that here. <b>Areas Searched:</b> SQUARE - BUILDING - PASSING THROUGH/QUICKLY/THOROUGHLY SQUARE - BUILDING - PASSING THROUGH/QUICKLY/THOROUGHLY <b>Anything Else?</b> This is the place to note if your character will only continue searching until they find a specific item or if they're specifically looking for only certain things and would discard other things. You can also mention if they're going to try doing anything unusual anywhere. MAKE SURE TO NOTE ANYONE TRAVELING WITH YOU. 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: <b>Location:</b> Please be specific! If they're doing something in a building, specify the building. If they're doing something outside, the square would be fine, unless you're having them work in one specific part of the square. <b>What Are They Doing?</b> Again, be specific. This can be as simple as taking an item that's part of the description or as complex as trying to break something down or build something. Note it may not always work and the town may react to attempts to alter it. 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!

Mami Tomoe | Puella Magi Madoka Magica

[fataliteas]

DAY ONE

[fataliteas]

Starting Point: P9
Squares Traveled: 3
Areas Searched: P9, P10, (P11 was traveled through but not searched) O11, no backtracking
P9 - 108 - QUICKLY
P10 - ANYTHING NOTABLE IN THE AREA - QUICKLY
O11 - 118 (where she'll stay overnight) - THOROUGHLY
Anything Else? She'll specifically be looking for paper, writing utensils, books, matches/lighter fluid, medical supplies, small tools like hunting knives/flashlights/screwdrivers, and any sort of weapon but especially firearms.

[snowblindmods]

Searching building 108, Mami will find a small plastic container (it would fit in the palm of her hand) filled with red, blue, and yellow metal paperclips.

P10 contains building 110, which is described as follows: While all the pumps are missing, this is undoubtedly a gas station just based on the flat area and the large flat roof above it. Digging under the snow will even reveal the holes where the pumps once were. Going inside the gas station, it's very small; it can't be called a convenience store, and while it's very clean, there's hardly anything inside. Behind the counter is a door that leads to a small bathroom with only one toilet and one sink. It receives water, so it's better than nothing, even if that water is cold.

Searching building 110, she will find an sealed individual-sized bag of plain potato chips. They're stale but edible.

Searching building 118, Mami will find a paring knife and hand lotion.

DAY TWO

[fataliteas]

Starting Point: O11, at morning start
Squares Traveled: 5 (P11, P10, P9, P10, P9) backtracking yay
Areas Searched: 1
P11 - ANYTHING NOTABLE IN THE AREA - QUICKLY
Anything Else? She's still looking for anything of use, and will likely be taking anything that's not objectively garbage with her when/if possible. Also, upon reaching to P9/building 108, she'll be counting how many steps it takes to get to P10/building 110. She's trying to gauge distance to see if there's a quantifiable amount, like 2 miles or whatever, from building 108 to building 110, and will be making her stride 2.5 feet (so that 1k steps would definitely equal 1 mile) for that reason. Then she'll return to spend the night at P9/building 108, getting in just before curfew.

[snowblindmods]

Six squares is approximately a mile, so each square is a sixth of a mile. Obviously this isn't much, but travel time is significantly slowed due to snow, ice, rubble, and general weather conditions, not to mention the atmosphere of the town.

(Note not all buildings may be to scale because the mods are liberal arts people.)

P11 contains only rubble, with nothing notable in the area.

Mami is likely to run into Stephanie at some point today.

altering a square description; now here for modly ease

[fataliteas]

Location: BUILDING 108
What Are They Doing? Opening the locked desk drawer and removing the contents. Success was already confirmed!

DAY THREE

[fataliteas]

Starting Point: P9
Squares Traveled: 4 (Q9, R9, R10, Rll)
Areas Searched: 3
Q9 - ANYTHING NOTABLE - QUICKLY
R9 - ANYTHING NOTABLE - QUICKLY
R10 - BUILDING 112 - THOROUGHLY
Anything Else? Traveling with Stephanie but conducting her own search, continuing to look for anything of value or interest that isn't objectively garbage. She'll also continue to count her steps from landmark to landmark.

[snowblindmods]

Q9 contains only snow, with nothing to search.

R9 contains only snow, with nothing to search.

Searching building 112, Mami will find a novelty bar of soap in the shape of a frog.

DAY FOUR

[fataliteas]

Starting Point: R11
Squares Traveled: 4 (S11, T11, U11, V11)
Areas Searched: 2
S11 - BUILDING 120 - THOROUGHLY
U11 - BUILDING 121 - THOROUGHLY

Anything Else? Still with Stephanie, still looking for anything noteworthy/that's not objectively garbage.

[snowblindmods]

In 120, Mami will find a roll of paper towels, a razor, and a half-melted candle.

In 121, Mami will find a half-empty bottle of nail polish, a small ceramic figurine of a hula dancer with faded paint, a diamond-patterned necktie, and an unopened packet of tissues.

Curfew will come while they are thoroughly searching building 121, locking them in.

DAY FIVE

[fataliteas]

Starting Point: V11, morning start
Squares Traveled: 5 (W11, X11, Y11, Y10, Y9)
Areas Searched: 1
Y11 - VET'S OFFICE - QUICKLY

Anything Else? Still traveling with Stephanie, still looking for anything notable/objectively not garbage. It's intended that she/they spends Night Five in building 109 on Y9, since the vet's office isn't viable shelter and 109 makes for a better (OOCly known) starting point for searching the office more thoroughly on Day Six.

[snowblindmods]

In the vet's office, Mami will find a bottle of flea shampoo.
