Because this quest is meant for Freshman, the parameters of this one are clear: Stay in the lit areas only. Do not wander into the dark. Do not wander into unexplored territory.
RP Notes for this Quest Make sure the following are mentioned in your RP: - Your Character being given a large reusable plastic bag (bearing the Emerston bookstore's name), and a flashlight. - Once you are finished the quest, please mention them returning the bag and flashlight!
To Complete this quest: - You must scavenge in TWO different areas, and fill in each post with RP to consider the quest completed. - Roll a 1d6 to start - This will determine where you are scavenging. Then, follow the information in that area's SPOILER TAG for further information. - This quest must be done in separate posts - there should be at least 4 posts total (1 to choose location, 1 to scavenge, 1 to choose second location, 1 to scavenge second location). - Scavenging rolls may be done in one post or three (1 post of 3d6, or 3 posts of 1d6). - Please note that any items found are considered IC gains only and will not count towards your mini site totals. Any food or water is automatically given to the University storage for later IC rationing!
1: A First Floor Lecture Hall
hide spoiler - You have decided to scavenge in a first floor lecture hall. Any one of them. They are mostly barren, save for dust and abandoned backpacks. - Please roll a 3d6 and match your results to the rolls below to determine what you find. 1: You flip through someone's notes, and find a recipe for a no-cook meal. Interesting. 2: You trip over something. The Projector in the room screeches to sudden life, sputtering and flashing for a moment before all does still. You find nothing, but you lose a couple of nerves in the process. 3: You find a backpack. You dig through it, and manage to find a half-full (or half empty?) bottle of water. 4: You find a couple sweaters. You may either keep them (IC find only), or bring them back to base to share. 5: Something shiny catches your eye - it looks like someone dropped a toonie. Score? 6: You rifle through an abandoned purse, and discover a few cereal bars. They haven't expired yet! (+1 credit)
2: Emerston University Bookstore
hide spoiler - You have decided to scavenge in the Emerston University Bookstore. It's mostly been picked clean, at least the shelves have, but the floor is littered with debris. There might still be something useful here, right? - Please roll a 3d6 and match your results to the rolls below to determine what you find. 1: You find a backpack. It's big, and fairly intact. Cool. 2: Markers and Paper bound. There should be enough plain paper to start a (very ashy) fire, at least. 3: You find a couple of batteries on the floor. Double-A ones too. You perform the Bounce Test, and there's a chance that they'll work! (+1 credit) 4: You dig under a stack of fallen english textbooks, and find a small pack of candy that survived. 5: Somehow, you manage to find an MP3 player on the ground? I wonder if you could find a charging station for it... 6: You dig, and dig, and dig, and end up with nothing but paper cuts.
3: Gym Locker room
hide spoiler - You have decided to scavenge in the Gym locker rooms. While the lights in this area are dimmer than elsewhere, they still work. Luckily for you this Schools lockers did not automatically come with locks, as a student you had to provide your own. As such, they are mostly all openable. - Please roll a 3d6 and match your results to the rolls below to determine what you find. 1:On the floor you find a few notebooks and pens, partially used. 2: This row of lockers seem to be jammed, you find nothing. 3: Opening a locker you find some (really smelly) old socks and shorts. Do you keep them? (IC only) or you can bring them back to the group. 4: Checking the washroom to the side of the locker room you find a closet filled with new, unused, toilet paper rolls. Something that would be great for the group! (+1 credit) 5: You find a large stack of paperwork in the corner, perhaps good for making fires? 6: Searching a locker you find a pretty nice jacket actually! You can choose to keep it (IC only) or bring it back to base.
4: Guidance Counselor Office
hide spoiler - You have decided to scavenge in the Guidance Counselor office. This would have been one of the first places you saw upon entering the University. Once neat and organized it is now a ghostland of paperwork and chairs everywhere. - Please roll a 3d6 and match your results to the rolls below to determine what you find. 1: Rummaging around you find some high quality pens, some even look unused! 2: Just a bunch of paperwork everywhere, darn! 3: You find a calculator that runs off solar energy! Neat! 4: Rummaging around in an old file cabinet you notice something sparkling at the bottom, and turn up a small hidden stash of unopened gummy bear packets. (+1 credit) 5: You find a bunch of stuffed animals themed after the Universities Mascot in different costumes. You can keep a few (ICly) or leave them there. 6: You find something smelly, only to discover it is a rotten sandwich left behind, ew!
5: Chemistry Lab
hide spoiler - You have decided to scavenge in a Chem Lab. - Please roll a 3d6 and match your results to the rolls below to determine what you find. 1: You find some sturdy rubber gloves. Good for touching gross stuff or for taking off to slap people that offend you. 2: You find a pair of goggles. Eye protection is important, even during the apocalypse! Maybe especially during the apocalypse. 3: Something crinkles under your feet. It is a very helpful poster. Good to know. 4: While checking in the cabinets, you find some unmarked chemicals. Someone wasn't following proper lab procedure! 5: You happen across what looks like a stash of sturdy laboratory glassware, all intact. Finders keepers! (+1 Credit) 6: You find a box marked 'HIGHLY FLAMMABLE'. It might be best to take this one back without opening it.
6: Dining Hall
hide spoiler - You have decided to scavenge in the Dining Hall. - Please roll a 3d6 and match your results to the rolls below to determine what you find. 1: You find some packages of vacuum sealed meats! Pre-marinated, too! (+1 Credit) 2: The cabinet you opened has something in it, but it smells awful. You might not want this. 3: Someone has already ransacked the fridge, leaving nothing. Might be for the best - it would probably be spoiled by now. 4: You find a full bag of sugary cereal! Sweet! 5: You discover a stack of dinner trays that look like they were freshly cleaned before this all started. Might be a cool shield or sled. Or you could always eat off of it... 6: One of the students working kitchen staff left their bag. A change of clothes is still inside.
If you wish to complete this in a group: - You will still need to scavenge in two different locations, but each player must roll a 1d6 in that area. - Example: Corey and Charlie wish to scavenge together. Corey (by OOC rolling) chooses the lecture hall. Both Corey and Charlie's players need to roll 3d6 in the lecture hall to scavenge. They finish that area. Charlie (by OOC rolling) chooses the bookstore. Both Corey and Charley's players roll a 3d6 in the bookstore to scavenge. - All posts must be filled in with RP before it is considered complete for either player. ALL POSTS. Meaning, if Charlie's posts are filled in but Corey's aren't, neither Corey nor Charlie can mark that quest as complete.
Jane didn't like leaving the dorms, especially after hearing about the infected, but food and water was a must. she wound up in front of the group she was with some how. "uhhhh the dinning room might have some food or something useful." she said quietly. Almost like she just wanted to blend in with the scenery. "We can start looking there." she did not introduce herself. She figured at this point names were unimportant. Getting supplies, maybe slightly more important. Besides she had her jersey number posted on her back. The giant 8 would be good enough for identification. If anyone even remembered her.

Rorrow smiled at the other girl, he knew her face from somewhere. Shaking his head he nodded. Tugging at his jersey as they walked into the Dining Hall. Letting his light wander around here again, he remembered the find he had last time. Lots of trays...he hummed as he saw the fridge. Walking over to it the youth sighed. "Fridge's been ransacked. Might be for the best...things would be spoiled by now..."
He let out a soft sigh as he heard his foot tap something. Letting his flashlight drop he spotted it. Yup.
A tray.
Bending down he picked it up and shrugging put it in his bag. Standing he noticed the cabinet. Oh...what's in...NOPE. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO !!!!! The smell that hit him as soon as he stepped close had him thinking of that one time Malice, Corven's pet snake, didn't eat a rat and it started to rot in the cage. He balked before backing up to turn to the other two.

Long chesnut hair, kept in twin tails at most times. Green eyes, glasses as he has a slight depth issue. Always has a messenger bag with him.
Charlotte followed after Jane and Rorrow, glancing around at the many darkened, off-limits places as they passed. She was excited to be out and about, and that people wanted to bring her with. Not many people could stand her for longer than five minutes, for some reason. Probably her impressive psychic aura. It was pretty breathtaking.
"This is going to be fun!" She couldn't help but smile behind the spread of fingers half-hiding her mouth. She closed her eyes briefly while she walked, and looked like she was concentrating deeply. Her bright blue eyes opened again, fixed on Jane. "Wow, you have a lovely aura. It's purple."
Charlotte waited for the others to disperse across the room before taking a leisurely stroll behind the food counter. The first cabinet she opened gave off a nauseating odor. "My name's Charlotte, by the way. Do you have names? Or would you prefer a Celestial Title? I can pick one out for you, I'm a certified level ten seer."
Charlotte briefly disappeared behind the counter. She returned with a bag slung over both shoulders. "I found clothes! And there's no blood on them."

"It is?" Jane blushed smiling a bit at Charlotte's comment. Purple? "Purple is a lovely color, thank you. Yours is nice too." Jane could not see any aura. She was not one of those special people who could. Jane didn't have anything special about her really. But she knew she wasn't lying. "It's nice to meet you, Charlotte. You can pick one out for me." she wondered what Charlotte would pick out for her. "Though my name is Jane." plain Jane, Jane doe.
Cheeks still pink, Jane walked off to look in some cabinets. When she opened one, a strong smell assaulted here and she took a step back. "Not this one." the next one she found something very very good. Meat. Vacuum sealed, that would do nicely.
And then a few trays. That would do. She shoved the items into her bag,
"I found something good, I found meat." she smiled a little. She wouldn't eat if of course but having more food was always a good thing, right? "Where next?"

Rorrow smiled at Charlotte. "Your sweet, I'm Rorrow. If you feel up to a new name for me feel free. As for where to next..."
Rorrow looked around the Dining Hall, thinking of the next best place. He knew where the Chem Lab was...perhaps there. "Anyone up for a trip to the Chem Lab?" he asked as he started to walk out.

Charlotte stopped and put a finger to her forehead, then made several incredibly unintelligible hand gestures. She looked like she was doing some kind of mental calculation.
"You are Temoneul, Knight of Cygnus." She was pointing right at Rorrow. She turned to Jane, still pointing. "And you are Eteni, the Lady of Andromeda."
Charlotte did a little curtsy.
In the process of ransacking the room, she found a nice pair of rubber gloves to put on and rummage around with. The only useful, if questionable, piece of equipment she could find was a highly flammable box. How exciting!

"Sure. The lab is as good as any place." Jane followed Rorrow towards the next location. It was a little creepy, what if the infection started here? Or in a place like it?
"Thank you Lady Charlotte of the Auras." Jane smiled. She walked in and grabbed herself a pair of gloves and some googles. She read the safety poster under her feet for a moment.
"Alright I'm safe and ready to go." she slipped the goggles on. She smiled. It hurt her cheeks some, it had been a long time since she had smiled, but she was glad to have gone with this group.

Rorrow chuckled. "Alright, I'll take that." As he looked around he opened a cabient to see unmarked chemicals. Jeeze...that's not smart! Shaking his head he pushed them to the side in case anyone looked in. Opening another cabinet he blinked. WHAT DID HIS BROTHER SNEAK IN HERE TO PULL A PRANK!?! More unmarked chemicals!! He groaned and hid those as well. Turning to find a pair of goggles he nodded. Okay those work...he couldn't wear them but that was fine...
He turned to the girls and started to walk out with them.
