Search Requests

While traveling through Norfinbury, 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. This page is not for reporting standard movements; if you need to do that, follow the directions on the character movements page. You can also find the square allowances on that page: remember, a quick search takes one square of movement, while a thorough search takes two! In order to have your character search an area, first find the comment of the location your character will be searching. There are general area comments at the beginning for uncovering new squares, searching outside of buildings, and talking to @ADMIN or other things not tied to a specific building. If your character is trying to speak to @ADMIN, simply use the header for the area your character is currently in. After those are building comments for searching inside of buildings. We will reply back within two days informing you what your characters found. Search requests will always receive some sort of reply, even if it's just "there isn't anything interesting here". We will also do our best to hint if there's something more your character can do, if this place has already been thoroughly searched, or if there's just nothing there at all. In order to submit a search request, please put the IC day you're doing your search in the subject line and fill out the following form: <b><u>Search Request</u></b> <b>Area Searched:</b> SQUARE - BUILDING - QUICKLY/THOROUGHLY <b>Anything Else?</b> This is where you describe how your character is searching, as well as if they're specifically looking for something/specifically doing something unusual. The more detailed this is, the easier it is for us to give you accurate results. MAKE SURE TO NOTE ANYONE TRAVELING WITH YOU.

cw crucifixion, blasphemy I think

[snowblindmods]

When Ginger opens the door to the chapel, all the lights come on at once. As she was in pitch darkness before, the sudden burst of light is blinding, but as her vision comes back, the chapel is revealed.

It was probably beautiful once, and maybe it's beautiful now, if you like deep, dark wood and blood red accents. Tapestries of the prophet decorate the walls in between each stained glass window, and the center aisle is lined with a black carpet with intricate red patterning.

Andromeda's corpse is attached to the wall, hands and feet nailed in to hold her up in an obvious imitation of Christ. Her stomach has been cut open, metal and wires and cords and fluids left dangling and dripping like entrails.

Somewhere, a house grows empty and lonely.

Ginger, too, feels as if suddenly she has grown very cold. She blinks into the newfound light, staring ahead of her as if she's not sure what she's seeing is real. But she moves forward, and by the time she's close enough to reach Andromeda, she can't deny it anymore.

"Oh, sweetie, what did they do to you?"

She isn't sure, right away, what she should do--but she knows she can't leave Andromeda up there. Robot or not, she didn't deserve this. She still doesn't deserve this.

"Don't worry, I'll get you down."

But she isn't really sure how to get her down, and her hands are shaking so badly, so she calls back for help from one of her companions.

England approaches when Ginger calls for help, nursing a similarly cold feeling in his gut. It was so long ago now that he first encountered Andromeda; he would have never imagined then that something like this had happened to her.

He speaks to Andromeda's corpse as he looks it over, wondering how best to approach taking it down. "I'm sorry we've met again under such circumstances. I was hoping to say that it was good to see you."

But it's not--not like this.

He still hasn't healed enough to do the heavy lifting, but he'll help America and Ginger with direction as they start to take her down.

Unfortunately, even the strength of all three of them together isn't enough to pull out the knife blades that hold her there. They've been driven in so deeply they've buried themselves in the metal of the wall.

[lacecase]

Noooo. Well, they'll have to come back to that, because leaving her seems miserable. For now, though, after a discussion, England and Ginger decide to search the body. Ginger isn't expected to, of course, because she's Ginger, but she steels herself! She's gonna help, darn it!

They're gonna root inside her body cavity, but like, respectfully, to see if they can find anything that could be used even if it isn't some kind of clue.

[snowblindmods]

There's nothing inside except torn up metal and wires, some ripped or cut apart, some intact but dangling, unconnected. The fluid is very cold and feels sort of like oil.

[lacecase]

Because America is the most tech savvy of the bunch, he'll stay behind to play around with the body (but like, again, respectfully!) while Ginger and England will shamble their way around the rest of the chapel, checking out tapestries and furniture to see if there's anything hidden that could be a clue.

With a borrowed copy of the eye app and ocean eye app, Ginger will also be using that to check and see if anything is picked up. England will be checking to see what happens if he attempts to send a message to Andromeda's registered username.

America will be searching the body for any ports or wires that could be connected to a tablet, and see what happens if that's attempted.

[snowblindmods]

There is nothing behind the tapestries or furniture of note. There is no reaction to the applications. @andromeda doesn't reply.

There is a wire, still connected to Andromeda's body, that can connect to a tablet. When attached, it downloads a lot of information--the whole process takes a full day, and they'll have to spend the night in the church waiting for it to finish. Unfortunately, when they're done, they've got an encrypted piece of software, and it doesn't respond to America's hacking application.
