Freshmen Quest: Building Maintenance
Quote:
In light of the recent surprise infected mob, Corey has created a new duty for the University Faction: Building Maintenance. The goal of this quest is to patch up holes and create traps in an effort to protect the overall group.

Quest Notes
- This quest can not be completed solo. There must be two or more people in your group.
- Each person must do all the steps and dice rolls. No tag teaming!
- Your group is given a rather heavy bag of equipment. It's clearly all items from the maintenance shed, and includes such items as a hammer, some nails, a screwdriver set, some fishing line, a measuring tape, etc. Building maintenance supplies. These do NOT count as materials, just aids to help you ICly.
- This requires some imagination - after all, there is a very real chance you might be clogging a broken window with a bucket!
- No new people may join an open Building Maintenance Thread once the group moves on to step 2.

Step One - Material Gathering
- Before you can begin the maintenance, you must gather some materials!
- Roll a 5d12 in one post, and match your result to the materials below:
  • 1: You break a couple desks, and now have TWO pieces of wood! (+2 Materials)
  • 2: You find…a bucket? Well, alright. (+1 Material)
  • 3: There are a bunch of backpacks lying around. Three of them. Might as well bring them along. (+3 Materials)
  • 4: You lucky deviant! You found the Janitor's cart. It only has a mop, some cleaning supplies (a bottle of windex, some bleach, and 4 unused garbage bags), and precisely three towels. One of the towels is a grease rag though, at least the other two are clean. (+10 Materials)
  • 5: WILD CARD - You can find ONE item of your choice. It can be anything you think you would find in a university setting. Keep in mind that everyone has had a month to scavenge, so the pickings are slim! (+1 Material)
  • 6: You manage to pry down a dry erase board. It's got to be good for something. (+1 Material)
  • 7: You find a projector. Hurray? (+1 Material)
  • 8: WILD CARD - You can find TWO items of your choice. It can be anything you think you would find in a university setting. Keep in mind that everyone has had a month to scavenge, so the pickings are slim! (+2 Materials)
  • 9: There are a bunch of bells in a box. Three of them. We're not sure why. But there they are. (+3 Materials)
  • 10: You find a bottle of alka-seltzer near a bottle of coke… (+1 Material)
  • 11: WILD CARD - You can find ONE item of your choice. It can be anything you think you would find in a university setting. Keep in mind that everyone has had a month to scavenge, so the pickings are slim! (+1 Material)
  • 12: You find a stack of boring looking books. Three of them. Might as well put them to some use. (+3 Materials)

- Pool your resources. Make a master list of what was found, including how many of them there are. These will be the materials you get to work with as a group!
- Continue on to Step Two.

Step One-Point-Five: Choose post order
- This can be done however you want! You must go in post order for step two.

Step Two - Makeshift Maintenance
- Hurray, you have materials! Now to put them to use.
- Each person in the group rolls a 1d10 in turn, until there are no materials left to use. Pooled materials will be used on a first chosen-first used basis.
- Match your rolls to the problems below, and do your best to fix them using the pooled materials your group rolled earlier! This means you get to be a little creative with how some of the items are used.
- Once a material is used, it can not be used a second time. Once it's used, it's gone!
  • 1: You find a small hole in the wall. (Requires 1 material to fix)
  • 2: WILD CARD - You find something to fix. What it is, is your choice. (Requires 2 materials to fix)
  • 3: There is a slightly broken window. (Requires 1 material to fix)
  • 4: This window is very broken. (Requires 2 materials to fix)
  • 5: WILD CARD - You find something to fix. What it is, is your choice. (Requires 1 material to fix)
  • 6: Some of the flooring is compromised, and has a foot-shaped hole in it. (Requires 1 material to fix)
  • 7: There is a large hole in the wall. (Requires 2 materials to fix)
  • 8: This floor is a mess. A whole person could fit down there (Requires 4 materials to fix)
  • 9: WILD CARD - You find something to fix. What it is, is your choice. (Requires 1 material to fix)
  • 10: One of the vents is open. It's a large vent. Someone could fit through it, unless you fix it. (Requires 2 material to fix)

- If you don't have enough items to finish the last fix - don't worry about it. Really. As long as all your materials are gone, this quest is considered complete!

Course Credits
- If you and your team mates complete this quest - meaning everyone has completed their dice rolls and has written at least 400 words - you all receive FIVE course credits.
- This is all or nothing - meaning all of you have to meet the criteria to get the credits. If one person doesn't finish this quest/word count, nobody gets it!
- Don't forget to link completed quests and earned credits in your journal!

Kammy had been worried she might have lost a arm or a leg, but she had not realized just how sucky it would be to lose her eyes. She had taken eyesight for granted for so long, but now with them she was not only lost, but a emotional wreck of "OH MY GOD I CAN'T SEE A THING HALP SOMEONE HEAL ME"

She didn't even know if she would get her eyesight back. Ever. And that was the most frightening thing.

But even in her crippled state she had to help out everyone, and so volunteered to do some maintenance on the university building. It sounded like a easy thing for her to do, and no risk of getting attacked.

But, she was doing this blind, so it was gonna be hard.

"James! James you there?" She called out to her partner, her hands waving around and grabbing things she thought would help. One thing felt like a book, and another felt like a projector. "I think I got some good stuff-" Her voice cut out as she stumbled into a group of tables, the flimsy furniture breaking under her weight. "...And some wood. I got some wood"

Oh dear.

"Miss Kammy, over here!" He called, somewhat more quietly than normal due to his own injuries. If she had been able to see, she'd notice he was standing surrounded by backpacks, rulers, tape, a shopping bag and a dry erase board.

"Let me get that for you," he managed, stuffing the wood and other materials she'd gathered into the backpacks. He offered her one - then realized that was a bit futile, and just hooked two on his good side and one across his back. For good measure (he chuckled at himself for that stellar pun), he handed her the yardstick, as a makeshift-walking tool.

"Ready! Lets go!"

Ah, there he was! And as she reached out to feel her way, she felt her hands clasp around a stick of some kind. Double awesome, he'd given her a walking stick.

"Oh my god thankyou this is great!" She started to poke around the area, feeling like she had a better idea of where things were now (or at least, she would have warning before she walked into walls now).

The stick was also useful for telling her there were things on the floor, and by the feel of it, there was hole lot of things on the floor. As in, there was a giant hole there.

"...Woah...how am I gonna fix this...Oh I know!" Her stick swung around to poke and prod for her supplies, which were in James bag. It took her a while to find them, but eventually she did and then went about placing the wooden boards over the hole by feeling for the edges and going from there. There, she could even do stuff blind!

"You're welcome!"

Then James just kinda stood there in awe as she managed to blindly repair a giant hole in the floor. She'd done a great job, too. He glanced around for something to do - ah, a dip in the floor! That should be easy enough to sort out.

Carefully, he placed a book in it.

"THERE!" He beamed.

Somehow, Kammy managed to not only find another large hole in a floor, but she repaired it, blind, while using two projectors.

She knew how to hack the matrix.

"You're like, a savant or something," James commented, utterly in awe of Kammy's master repair skills.

Meanwhile, he was replacing a spent air conditioning filter with a now-empty backpack. It wasn't like the a/c worked anyway, right? He'd have to remember to come and fix it properly, if they ever got it running.

"I totally leveled up my skill sets." She replied, using a tape measurer and ruler to cover up a small hole in the wall.

Geez, Kammy was like a one-woman repair machine.

"You're like, one of those roombas, or something." James paused. "I mean that in like the best way of course. You know, covered in cool stickers, carrying a cat. That kind of roomba."

High praise.

He stuffed the remaining two backpacks into a window whose glass had been completely blown out. If he tied the straps just right, they sort of hung from the frame like a sail. He paused to admire his handiwork.

Woah, that was a pretty epic praise. Kammy knew about internet memes and cats, so to be compared to the shark cat on roomba was pretty nice.

She intended to live up to this praise, by using the board to plug up the broken window. It was such a perfect fit too.

James admired her latest creation before deciding to tackle one last obstacle -

There was a giant hole in the floor. He glanced at his only remaining item: a shopping bag.

He pried up one of the floorboards by it to about waist height, and tied the shopping bag to it as a kind of makeshift "warning" flag. He tried not to think about what might happen to someone like Kammy if she came across it - it was the best they could do.

He tapped her on the shoulder, tugging her in the opposite direction of the major hazard. "Uh, well, looks like that's all we've got supplies for. Let's head back, right?"
