Quest #1: Barricade the Entrances

Description: Unfortunately for survivors, the mall was built to let people in instead of keeping people out. There are numerous entrances and exits scattered around the mall, and that doesn’t even include the direct entrances and exits some stores have. Everyone agrees that a lock isn’t enough. Rather than have the worst happen, everyone is encouraged to scavenge and locate what they can from the mall and use it to help barricade and block off entrances. At least one entrance has been barricaded and set up to use as a main entrance and exit. The rest need to be reinforced.

Goal: RP your survivor finding something to help barricade the mall. It can be a table or chairs from one of the many stores, or even one of the stands out in the middle of the mall floor. Have them add it to a barricade. There are barricades that lead directly to the mall, as well as barricades within stores themselves.

First time doing this quest? Please write a minimum of 100 words for 1 Arcade Token.

Repeating? Minimum word count jumps up to 300 in order to claim your 1 Arcade Token.

Feeling wordy? Go above and beyond the bare minimum for additional tokens! You need to meet this word count while doing the quest, so no going back to pad your quest to claim tokens! These token bonuses do not stack, so you can't write 100 words to claim 1 token, then add 300 words to claim 2 more tokens.

Stumped? Now’s a great time for your character to reflect on the crazy things that have gone down. Maybe they’re upset and need to calm down by nailing things into the barricade. Maybe they’re feeling creative and think the barricades could use more color and decide to go crazy with some glitter glue. The only requirement (aside from the word count) is that your character is doing something to improve the barricades protecting them and everyone else from the infected.

Whistle While You Work: Doing stuff alone is fine, but you don’t have to solo! Feel free to play along with some friends as you work together. The word count can be spread out throughout your total posts for the day.

Mike was not feeling very useful right no wand he was very unhappy with this. He wanted to help out as much as he could but he seemed to get to places at the wrong time all the time. When he got somewhere his help wasn’t needed or even worse his help was needed just as he wasn’t around. He was needed and simply not there.

The day that had started pretty good for him didn’t feel as great anymore. This wasn’t a big surprise to him as this was starting to be normal for everyone around. There was noone around in this town that was feeling super happy. Who would feel good in a situation like this when it’s not save anymore and so many things are scarce. There was also the risk of getting attacked by those things Mike still didn’t want to really believe in. It was not possible for him but he knew better now. It was real and they needed to stay out.

Mike knew what he had to do now. It was something that had to be done constantly to make sure it wasn’t going to get weaker. He needed to reinforce the barricades. He didn’t want tot hink what could happen i fit weakened. It could and probably would go horrible wrong. He started to look around for things to use. Anything would be great. Anything that looked big and sturdy and could be moved would be perfect. He found something that looked just as something he could use. It was a big billboard and it looked sturdy. It wasn’t to big to move so he could easily lift it. Something as big as this thing would most definitely make a barricade stronger where it was added. He lifted the billboard and let part of it lean on his shoulder. He started walking and needed to do something else now. He had to find the best place to add it.
After walking around for a little while Mike found a spot in the barricade that let outside of the mall that could really use some reinforcement so he decided to add the billboard right there. He place it between some other things the barricade was already made of to hold it in to place. He now needed to make sure the newly added billboard would just fall out of the barricade and be useless so he needed to somehow glue or nail it at his current place.

He started to look through the mall again this time looking for things to help keep things into place. He at first couldn’t find anything like glue or nails or anything to keep things in place till he found a tiny bit of tape. It was still really sticky so it would work. Cut the tape into two pieces and ran back to where he had placed the billboard. He now taped two spots that looked weak to him and he was happy with the result. The barricade was now alot stronger at this part for sure. He had finally been useful. It was time to find some of the others again and see what was going on today. Maybe helping more people? He wasn’t this unhappy anymore. It still wasn’t great with all those things around but he was a little bit happier.

Mike decided it was time to check the barricades again. You can never do that to many times he thought. To him it felt save when the barricades looked good. Maybe he was just constantly checking them and adding things just to feel better but he didn’t really care if that was the case. Atleast he also helped everyone else out by reinforcing it. He not only made himself saver but everyone around him in this part of the mall. He wasn’t just doing this for himself. He told himself that it was okay to keep adding things and to keep on looking for things he could use. The less he had to think about everything that could happen in this crazy new life he had the better and doing so in a way that also helped others felt great.

He walked over to the spot he reinforced earlier just to check in everything was still in place. He found this tob e the case. He gently pulled the billboard he had added some time ago and it didn’t move at all. Good! But he had the feeling it wasn’t good enough now. It was held in place by only two tiny pieces of tape. He wanted something better for it now. Something that would hold it in place even better. This didn’t looked like it would hold on for very long so he had to find more tape. Tape was easy to use and he was sure there had to be more around. The tiny piece of tape he found earlier cannot be all there is. He started to look around again this time looking for tape only.

As he started to walk around he was seeing more spots in the barricades around that may need some more work. Everyone did a great job with them and it all looked really sturdy and everything but even tiny little holes in them made Mike really nervous. It also didn’t help that he only found spots that may or may not needed some work and no tape. All the places that may needed work in his mind made him decide to do something about them. They didn’t really need it but just for his own feeling of savety he was still going to find and add something.

He started to worry. Thinking that it would soon go wrong. Horribly wrong and Mike would have to face things he would want and couldn’t do. What if it wasn’t even save here anymore? He saw himself in his mind trapped in one of the smaller shops the only exit blocked by someone or something. It was one of those things. That should never happen! Not to him or to anyone in the mall or just everywhere.

Just as he started to panic while nothing was really wrong he found what he was looking for. A lenghty wide piece of tape. The could easily used it in different places to tape things to place or to cover up holes. He rushed back to the place he had added the billboard and added a few pieces of extra tape to all the sides. He also added some tape to some of the things, like a chair, a piece of thick cardboard and a big chunck of wood, that held the billboard and other parts of the barricade in place making those stronger too. He ran back to all the places he had seem holes earlier trying t oremember all of them which was hard. He closed all of them with a bit of tape covering them. He finally stopped running around when he was sure he had found all of the ones he saw earlier.

He was quite happy with himself no wand he again felt alot saver. The only thing he did was find some tape and adding it everywhere but with the spot he reinforced earlier looking really strong and all the whole gone it at least looked alot saver. Maybe it really was maybe it only was like that in his mind but Mike wanted to believe it was true. He made it alot saver. He decided to look for some of the friends he had here to see what they’re doing. He needed to talk to someone and not walk around alone and worry so much. Time to see who was at the bar today and maybe he’ll meet one of his friends on the way.
