GATHERING NECESSITIES A group of survivors this size needs a lot of food and supplies to... survive. There are any number of places you can scavenge for necessities around the apartment complex during daylight hours if you're by yourself, but to find supplies at night, you're going to need a group. No matter what time you head out, be careful, and remember your umbrella.

During the day, your character may search any apartments in the Clearview complex that have been abandoned, nearby bodegas and houses, cars, supermarkets, et cetera, by themselves. At night, they must search in a group, unless they are deliberately disobeying the apartment rules. If they are, they might very well get away with it. Or there might be consequences.
Step One - Grab a Bag
Zelda and October have amassed a decent supply of cloth bags, perfect for holding on to the things you find around the city when being quiet is a priority. Some of them are kind of small, but all of them are more convenient than making do with your arms.
To grab a bag, roll 1d4 and RP stopping by the main office to take one. If you want to skip this step, you will only be able to carry 1 item.
Your bag carries 2 items! Your bag carries 4 items! Your bag carries 2 items! Your bag carries 3 items!
Step Two - Fill That Bag
If you are completing this quest by yourself, you may roll multiple 10-sided dice in each of your posts until you have filled your current bag. If you are completing it with others, roll 1d10 per post.
Please note that you may not ICly keep these items! Whether your character gives them up because they're nice or the security team beats them up daily and takes the items, they will not be translated into personal loot and are only for RP flavor.

The office was eerily quiet when Mel came in. She expected to at least see October in one corner but there was no one when she twirled around to see if she was all by herself. She was. Which was weird...but things had started getting busy so she probably should have expected as much. Still, there was a part of her that was unsettled by this simple fact. It was the kind of feeling she had to work to shake off, otherwise she'd probably freak out about it later...
So she grabbed a bag and head out. Nothing like supply gathering to pass the time, right?
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF MY CHARACTER Petit, 5'5" and 114lbs. She is rather fair skinned with relatively soft facial features (compared to her parents) and curiously blue-green eyes. Her hair is a light shade of caramel brown and is naturally wavy, an asset she's rather proud of. [ ref ]
The world beyond Clearview's fronts doors wasn't much more active, which again sort of bothered her. Not that she would have liked to have an undying on her tail, but seeing one or two others, even from a distance, would have brought her a little bit of comfort. It felt like she was on her own out here, kind of like that guy from I Am legend, played by Will Smith. After his dog died, of course. With a sigh she walked a bit further out than usual in hopes of seeing at least one other person, but after a while she realized that her efforts were probably futile so she ducked into the building to her right.
It looked like it was an apartment complex of some kind. The old kind from the looks of the kitchen she passed by as she walked down the hall. She would work her way from back to front today, so she hurried to the very last room and started her search.
Her search started in the very last apartment. It was a studio and more or less empty and devoid of life. She worked her way slowly around, coming across virtually nothing worth scavenging until she finally moved on. The next few apartments were the same, but in the 5th one she walked into--hopes already low at that point--she finally came across some unused batteries.
"Finally..." she murmured while bagging them and moving on. Her next find didn't come until the next apartment, which yielded some Aero bars in a kitchen cabinet. Someone must have missed them or didn't want them when she turned the place upside down. Lucky her. She moved on again, her hope in the building somewhat renewed.

In the next apartment she found some small water bottles, too small to be super beneficial to anyone but she bagged them anyway. A little water was better than none, after all.
Moving on, she followed her nose to a bedroom and regretted it, gagging several times as she ran right out again. There were some things a human being really just can't un-see, and a family of dead bodies was one of them. At least for Mel. Curled up around one another, with the smallest of the lot in the middle, nearly shielded from whatever had happened. The arm of one was missing, and nearby was a half-eaten body; just a set of legs and a mangled middle, no upper body or head to speak of. The backdrop was red splatter indicative of some kind of a bloodbath. She just didn't stay long enough to see how it happened.
The rest of the trip was hurried and in a slight blur as she was anxious to get home, but she still managed to snag another set of batteries before she got the hell out of there. She had a feeling she wouldn't be sleeping that night...
[ Count: 4/4 -- batteries, aero bars, small water bottle, batteries ]
