MAKE 'EM LAUGH
Living in one of the most secure locales in the city means that the time you would be spending running from the infected is likely spent wallowing in boredom instead. Clearview residents need entertainment. Will you find it in your heart to provide some?

Step One - Decide What to Do
Roll 1d6 to decide how you're going to entertain your audience. If you are completing this quest in a group, you only need one person to roll for step one.

  1. singing
  2. hallway parkour
  3. plate spinning
  4. dancing
  5. storytelling
  6. your choice of 1-5

Step Two - Perform!
Roll 1d100. The higher you roll, the better your act is received by your audience.

If you are completing this quest in a group, you may count the first roll of step two as the roll for the group, if you so choose. Obviously this is only beneficial if they roll an 85 or higher (see below), but the offer stands for lower rolls as well. If the first person does not roll a number you are satisfied with, everyone else must roll separately. To reiterate, roll sharing only counts for the first person who rolls for step two in a group. Once the second person rolls, you may no longer count any step two roll as the group's roll. There's an example in the spoiler below, but if you have any questions, please PM Smerdle.

A Good Example of Group Rolling
Alberto rolls an 87!

No one else in the group rolls for Step Two. Everyone RPs the group's well-received act in a separate post (or posts). Everyone may claim umbrellas when they meet word count.

A Bad Example of Group Rolling
Alberto rolls a 22.
Mindy rolls a 3.
Helga rolls a 91!
Bob rolls a 67.
Yelvis rolls a 81.

Helga's roll may not be considered a group success because she did not roll first. Alberto, Mindy, Bob, and Yelvis must RP their acting/dancing/storytelling failures, while Helga RPs her blazing success. Helga is eligible for three umbrellas, everyone else gets two.

Another Good Example of Group Rolling
Alberto rolls a 22.
Mindy rolls a 99!
Helga rolls a 4.
Bob rolls a 56.
Yelvis rolls a 88!

Mindy and Yelvis's rolls may not be considered group successes because they did not roll first. Alberto, Helga, and Bob must RP their acting/dancing/storytelling failures, while Mindy and Yelvis RP their wonderful two man Hamlet. Mindy and Yelvis are eligible for three umbrellas, everyone else gets two.

If you roll an 85 or higher and post over 200 words in the quest, Zelda will reward you with three cocktail umbrellas the next time she sees you! If you roll below 85 and post over 100 words, she still recognizes your effort. You get a smiley face sticker and two umbrellas. Please claim your umbrellas in this thread using the faction quest point claim form located here.

"Parkour!" came a shrill cry on the 10th floor of Clearview Apartments. Anyone who lived their for the last month would know the voice belonged to Mel, and that the woman was likely bored and looking for something fun to do. Bonus points if it was entertaining to others, but for the most part Mel did things because she felt like she needed to get up and just do something fun. It didn't help though, that some of these things were relatively...dangerous. She did at least know better than to try anything from the 10th floor, so with a whoop the young woman slid down the railings of the stairs going all the way down, her energy and spirits high after reading a magazine article about the sport.

"Parkour!" she yelled at whoever she happened to pass by on the various landings of each floor she passed, making the non-applicable "aloha" sign with her hand as she went. She was pretty hyped up for no apparent reason to some of the residents, but then when she was hyper like that there was no real way to stop her.

When she eventually made it to the the first floor--where she'd do the least damage to herself should she fall over a railing or something--she inspected the space and made sure that no one was around when she started running. She knew she'd go around in a circle if she followed the hallway but that was fine, there were various obstacles that littered the walkways anyway, so that was plenty to work with.

And she ran, almost sprinted really, clearing a low bag of trash for her first "trick." It wasn't much, but it was a start, and she was starting to get the feel for it. Still with a smile on she hurdled over a waist-high desk, followed by another jump, banking off one of the walls to give her a bit more leverage to clear a low computer hutch.

"Yes!" she cried as she landed and kept right on running, slightly winded but still with enough energy due to the adrenaline of it all.

The next obstacle looked simple enough: three of those garbage bins sort of huddled together several feet away. She thought she had enough room to run and clear the jump, but by the time she realized she didn't she was already mid-air, her trajectory clear. She landed with an unceremonious SPLAT, feet first into the furthest garbage bin and onto who honestly knew what. The stench that assaulted her nose, though, was enough to tell her that no, it wasn't pleasant, and no, she probably didn't want to know.

One of the residents nearby slow-clapped her epic failure, and she scowled at him before trying to wriggle herself out of the stinky situation.

All the wriggling succeeded in doing, though, was to tip the bin over and add more insult to injury. She heard the resident continue on with his slow clap as she crawled out of the bin. Politely, she gave him the finger before squelching her way back up to a clean and unoccupied apartment to clean herself up.

There was no she was walking into her apartment in that condition, that was for damn sure.
