Search Requests

Search Requests

For the most part, characters are allowed to travel from uncovered square to uncovered square and gather basic items on their own, provided they announce what they're taking on the appropriate page. However, it's important that we can keep track of how everyone is moving daily, and you and your characters may want to search for more plot-relevant items. There are also squares on the map that no one has traveled to, and remain a mystery until explicitly uncovered. Thus, the search page has been created for this use.

You must report your character's movements in your thread. We want to make sure you haven't made any math mistakes and keep characters from accidentally teleporting around the map, for one, and we also want to make sure your character gets to experience any location-relevant situations. We will respond to your characters' movement updates within 48 hours with any monsters they would have run into that day and anything that would happen of note on a specific square your character traveled through, in addition to pointing out any math errors. In the case of monster encounters, while the day they happen on is random, you will be able to select exactly where they encounter them. You will have to respond to us telling us how the character(s) handled the monster. Unless something unusual happens, we will not reply to your character movement updates.

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!

Travel and search are based on the squares of the map, and all actions are discussed in terms of squares. All searching uses up squares, which means every search reduces the amount of squares your character can travel. No searching is a free action, and is added on top of square movement, so make sure to double check your math! Moving to a square and searching a building in that square both have to be thought of as separate things, not as using the same amount of time. We will provide a limit of the amount of squares your characters have to act which encompass all actions a character takes that day; if they go over that limit, they will not be able to do anything beyond the last action that would have used up a legitimate block of time.

Much like finding normal items, searches are split up into quick searches and thorough searches. A quick search takes up one square of travel time per building or area searched, while a thorough search takes up two squares of travel time per building or area searched. If you thoroughly search three buildings on one square, that would take up all of your movement at once, two per building searched.

First, reply to this thread to make a top level comment where all of your location check-ins and advanced search requests will go. This thread should have your character's name in the subject line. Make sure to reference the setting page where necessary and let us know who is travelling with you. You can also use the 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! Additionally, there is a player-created and player-run character travel map that can be used, if you would like a more visual way to track things! Note that this is optional and not all characters may be included here.

To report character movements, just use this form, making sure to put the IC day in the subject line.


To inform us your character is searching for plot-relevant items or traveling into unexplored squares, use the following form, making sure to put the IC day in the subject line. Note that you will not always successfully find something, and the more specific you are in explaining how your character is searching, the better.


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, making sure to note the IC date in the subject line:


To search for items left in buildings by other characters, or have your character leave items in a building, please use this post and NOT the location alteration form.

This post applies to searches from day 34 onward. The old search page with the old search results is kept here.

Is there any video function? Or has that been jammed? Would they be able to get an idea of the extent of the vent system? Any branching? Would they hit any barriers if they tried to go to the full extent that the hose will allow?

is it any different if the tablet is held into the source room when they happen?

House is, indeed, holding tight, ready to yank it back from spider friends... but he's going to sacrifice his tablet for the cause here because that seems like a good idea! He'll let the hose go so that they can see how far the drop goes and what might be at the bottom if they're lucky.

Anything Else? Just submitting this because I don't think that square in the park has actually been officially searched yet? Quark will be looking through it as he walks, keeping an eye out for anything unusual, but not doing anything of particular note.

What Are They Doing? Quark's dumping out the rocks that are in the opened birthday present boxes, leaving them all over the floor (but he'll move them into neat piles so they don't get in anybody's way). He wants to see if there's anything under the rocks or in between them that can't be seen from just looking at the top. He'll take just a couple rocks with him.

Anything Else? In building 85, there's not much to look at, but he'll still see if there's anything that might be hidden within his short reach in the closet, whether in the floor or against the walls. In Building 79, he's going to look around the mattresses to see if there's anything hidden under them or possibly in them (he has a knife he can use to make small cuts if it's necessary), and he'll take a look around the basement for anything useful it at all possible.

Anything Else? Kunsel is stuck inside this building all day and going stir crazy from event effects. After pacing back and forth and back and forth and checking his tablet every thirty seconds, he's going to put that restless energy to use, crawling all around the kitchen and living room, shining the light of the tablet into every nook, cranny, crevice, drawer, and cabinet, under every piece of furniture, and anything the light can't reach, he's going to stick his hand in to feel around. He will even go so far as to move any furniture in either room, flipping anything he can't see under onto its side, to check the undersides, as well as the floor beneath them.

He will right all the furniture again in the end, so no location alteration.

Anything Else? Mostly searching for a new tablet, as he 'lost' his (by leaving it behind when they left the post office). Also for anything that seems interesting or out of place

Given that House and Joker would proceed to experiment both on Day 100 and into Day 101 with dropping another tablet and timing its fall from a certain height, would they be able to work out the approximate distance that the other tablet fell? If so, how far would that be?
