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.


  1. Your bag carries 2 items!
  2. Your bag carries 4 items!
  3. Your bag carries 2 items!
  4. 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.


  1. You find a dented tin of sardines submerged in a shallow puddle. Mmm.
  2. You find an unopened bottle of water.
    ZELDA APPROVES
    Upon your return to Clearview, you will be awarded one cocktail umbrella! Please claim it in this thread using the faction quest point claim form located
    here.

  3. You find some new, drab clothing, perfect for camouflaging against the horde.
    ZELDA APPROVES
    Upon your return to Clearview, you will be awarded one cocktail umbrella! Please claim it in this thread using the faction quest point claim form located
    here.

  4. You find a very small bottle of water, probably one of those ones they give people on planes.
  5. You find a hefty stick. Maybe someone can use it to hold open a door or something.
  6. You find a can of Beefaroni.
    ZELDA APPROVES
    Upon your return to Clearview, you will be awarded one cocktail umbrella! Please claim it in this thread using the faction quest point claim form located
    here.

  7. You find a bikini.
  8. You find a couple of fruit punch juice boxes. They're nearly mangled, but they are drinkable.
  9. You find five Aero bars!
    ZELDA APPROVES
    Upon your return to Clearview, you will be awarded one cocktail umbrella! Please claim it in this thread using the faction quest point claim form located
    here.

  10. You find a half used package of batteries.
    ZELDA APPROVES
    Upon your return to Clearview, you will be awarded one cocktail umbrella! Please claim it in this thread using the faction quest point claim form located
    here.

The small stockpile of bags seemed a bit smaller today, Mel thought as she swung by the office to grab one for her daily scavenge. Perhaps there were others already out and about, looking for things to benefit their little Downtownies makeshift family. To Mel they were just about...maybe not exactly like a family, but they looked out for each other and that was what mattered, right?

With a small wave to the little huddle of people she passed on her way out, Mel slipped out of the Clearview building hoping to again be productive for the day.

Today's scavenge was set in a small, familiar building. Or at least it was supposed to until she saw the neighboring building and switched up her trajectory. She wandered inside of it, a little curious to see if there were others in there. She wasn't curious enough to actually call out though, and risk drawing attention to herself. No, she went about her business and, on her way up the stairs she found hefty stick with which she figured she could use to poke and prod at things that were out of her reach.

At 5'5" there were plenty of things that were, so she hoped it would prove a useful find.

Mel walked up to the fourth floor before she finally ducked inside a room and started her search. It seemed like slim pickings at first; all the cabinets looked to be cleaned out and there was little left for scavengers like her to find. She quickly moved from room to room, along the way bagging a water bottle and batteries from one of the storage rooms, as well as aero bars inside the break room. It was like a goldmine, but she didn't want to push her luck in case she needed it for later. With a contented sigh she slipped back out of the building and headed home, whistling a tune her father always used to sing to her when she was younger.

Partnered with the hefty stick and she looked like a wayward vagabone...

[ Count: 4/4 -- hefty stick, water bottle, batteries, aero bars ]
