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.
Quote:
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.

As of late the office hadn't been all that bustling, even October's sleeping figure was nowhere to be seen, which Mel felt was a bit...disheartening, but as long as the head of security was alive and well somewhere then she could live with an empty office. She grabbed a bag and headed out for some scavenging activities, see what might turn up.

She decided to stop at a building a little bit further away, but one she had yet to raid. After she was past the entrance and in the front door, much to her surprise there was a set of half-used batteries in plain sight nearby the ruins of the coffee table in what she could only assume was the living room. She quickly nabbed them and moved on, exploring the rest of the living room first before moving into the kitchen.
As expected all the food was gone, so Mel slowly made her way into the bedroom, perusing the remainders of what would have been a very normal, average room. A bed, nightstand, and dresser with a broken mirror just beside it. The window was also shattered from the outside, indicating a break-in of some nature. Mercifully the room was devoid of blood, so chances were no one was in here when it happened. Mel moved on, and in the second bedroom found some clothes in the closet that looked...at least marginally usable. They weren't really her taste though, but she bagged them in case someone else might be interested.
After a quick look through the other rooms Mel stepped out of the building and set her sights on another one just across the way.

The next building she walked into seemed like an office building of some kind. It was too tall to cover the entire place, so she made her way to a random floor--the fourth one, to be specific--and started her search. It was mostly empty. Some entrances were barricaded while others were busted wide open. There didn't seem to be anything or anyone, but on her way back to the stairs she found a small bottle of water unopened and on its side against the wall. It seemed as though someone had dropped it a long while ago...and it looked good enough to bring home so she nabbed it before making her way up one more flight of stairs, to the fifth floor.

The next floor wasn't much different, nor any better, than the previous one. This time the desks were primarily shoved toward the far wall, leaving a whole lot of clear space in the middle where, upon closer inspection she could see blood stains basically everywhere, hidden underneath a thick layer of dust. She nearly gagged when she realized it, and made her rounds quickly with her eyes facing directly forward (and not on the floor) the entire time.
In one of the desks she found small cartons of what looks to be fruit juice, but someone had either been scratching away at the label out of boredom or nervousness because she couldn't read the name anymore. She assumed it was safe to drink since it was unopened though, so she bagged it and glanced around just once more before making her way out of the building.
It wasn't a bag haul today, and she skipped the rest of the way home.
[ Count: 4/4 -- batteries, clothes, small water bottle, juice boxes ]
