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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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
- 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.
Why exactly he was here was no question honestly, just because he was a 'leader' it did not mean he didn't pull his own weight. You had to, for the group to survive.
Didn't mean it made him happy to do so.
"C'mon Castle, lets go do some actual work." He called at rook, not exactly pleased. While he had been with the group, Rook had always been his roommate. The other boy seemed to take pleasure in teasing the dog s**t out of Charlie, something he took as a personal challenge as he quipped back with a sharp tongue. The two had a odd relationship, not quite friends but not quite enemies. Somehow it worked?
Still he managed to wander through the halls and stumble into the guidance office. "We haven't searched here for a while."
"Hold your hor--oh.. well..." There was a brief sound of amusement before the source of the voice rounded the corner and shined his light on Charlie. "Ahh there he is." Rook gave a bright smile and started towards the taller man. "The last unicorn. I thought I lost you for a second." Unlike Charlie, Rook was very pleased about getting scavenging duty with his roomie. After all, he took great joy out of harassing the younger man. It happened to be one of the few highlights left in his life.
With the borrowed bag firmly in his grasp, he fell into step with his friend, shining the light down the darkened hallway and into each room as they passed them by and continued to do so until they reached their first destination. "Yeah well, to be honest, I don't imagine there's much we can salvage in the guidance counselors office." He muttered, nudging stacks of useless papers out of the way. Though shortly after entering the room, a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
"Y'know, I wonder if they have any of those private files on us in here. Shall we take a peek?" He motioned towards the filing cabinet; green eyes lit with mischief. He didn't even bother to wait for Charlie to respond before he slid the first drawer open.
Boring, boring--Oh! "Score!" He held some packets up to the light and grinned. "A little something to sweeten your disposition, eh?" It would probably take a great deal more than the little stash of gummy bears for that to happen, but regardless he collected and dropped the packets into the plastic bag.
"Hmm, I'm not really seeing anything else but maybe if we---oh! Ohhhh now hold on a sec." Without warning he shoved the mostly empty bag into Charlie's hands and walked across the room, only to spin back around with what appeared to be a stuffed animal in his hands. "Look! Look Charlie Horse, its your herd! A lot of them..." How many did they really need in here anyways? "I think I'll keep this one." He announced, tucking it under his arm. "Not like it will be missed, right?"

"We are here to work, not play. " he grumbled along , eying the gummy bears warily. Well of course Rook would choose the only drawer that actually had something edible in it. Not that he woulf show his roomate any praise, only just a nod.
"don't judge a book by it cover. " he hissed once more, pleased with himself that he found some pens that were in good working order.
Though once the subject of plushies came about Charlie eyed the little things curiously. Without even so much of a blink of an eye, he stuffed the remaining plushies into his collection bag.
"School spirit." He fired at Rook. He knew the kid would have some retort to mouth off at him so he chose to beat him to the punch.

"Yeah, yeah, so you say. Didn't anyone ever tell you? School's supposed to be fun." He made a mocking gesture of excitement, but stopped when the stuffed animal threatened to drop to the floor. "Anyways, I really think you should try and lighten up a little." He peered over at Charlie, who currently busied himself with stuffing the bag full of, what were those... Pens? He shook his head. Charlie would collect those.
Readjusting the stuffed animal under his arm, he gave a small snort of laughter. "Yeah but, isn't this--" He gestured towards the rather large pile of stuff animals. "--a bit much? Wait. Never mind, I fear I am going to lose this argument before it even starts. I am the minority in the room, after all. Being the only human."
Though perhaps he could bring back a pile of these and hoard them in their room. He imagine Charlie would love that. The idea of it was really tempting. Next time perhaps.
"Shall we go? I kind of want to check out the locker room." He paused. "Unless you want to spend more time with the family?"
"I will allow myself to 'lighten up' the day the infected are gone, Rook. In case you havent noticed, the dead are walking." And this was no youtube floppy dead fish video either.
As for the plushies.... Charlie was really glad rook didnt seem to notice that his own bag of loot was suddenly a lot more filled out.
"Lead the way. " he shruggef following the other as they approached a very familiar area to him. The locker rooms were two sort of a homr away from home. Breathing in - he found himself choking. "Gross, that old sock smell i think is ingrained into the metal of these lockers. " sweat and funkyness was what the place smeled of.
Approaching his first locker was met with no luck. Stupid thing was jammed good. Though his second try was more than better. Some jock left a brown leather jacket behind, and a nice one at that. Slipping it on it was slightly tight, but he would manage.
"Oh that reminds me. " he said as a matter of a factly, choosing to duck into a room to the side. Rummaging around he managed to open up a door. Rook woulf hear a soft 'yesss' before Charlie came back into view holding something. Hey rook a hand here?" Clearly it was more an order, not a request. "I forgot they kept these in here. " he had found a mountain of toilet paper rolls.
"Y'know, some how I doubt that. You come across as someone who'd be sour faced even if the world was bright and shiny and completely at peace." He probably stomped on flowers for fun too. "But I guess I can see your point." He finally agreed, oblivious ( for now ) of the relocation of the stuffed animals.
With permission from Charlie, Rook gave a mock salute and hoisted the bag higher, marching off towards the locker room. He had already been here once before and to be honest, he wasn't expecting to find much the second time. But there was a few places he hadn't checked. One of which being the bathroom.
"Oh look, Charlie." He held up what appeared to be more half empty pens. "Your favourite! And here I thought this place would be a total bust. Lets just add these to your already growing pile of pens." There was an obvious note of sarcasm in his tone, as he dropped the items into the bag, but as usual it was good natured.
With those stashed away, he really wasn't sure what else to check that he hadn't already, so ignoring the lockers for now, Rook disappeared into the small bathroom after Charlie left it and made a sudden sound of surprise before falling completely quiet. This lasted for a minute before he poked his head out the door again with a great big smile plastered to his face.
"Hey Chaaarlie." Was all the warning the other man would get before a white object came flying at him. "You missed some." Why he hadn't checked the bathroom the last time was beyond him. It was like they were stalking up for the end of the world in here. Oh.. wait, maybe they were? "I do think these will come in handy, don't you think?" He asked, emerging from the bathroom, his bag now full of toilet paper. "Nice jacket by the way."
