MAKE 'EM LAUGH
Living in one of the most secure locales in the city means that the time you would be spending running from the infected is likely spent wallowing in boredom instead. Clearview residents need entertainment. Will you find it in your heart to provide some?

Step One - Decide What to Do
Roll 1d6 to decide how you're going to entertain your audience. If you are completing this quest in a group, you only need one person to roll for step one.

  1. singing
  2. hallway parkour
  3. plate spinning
  4. dancing
  5. storytelling
  6. your choice of 1-5

Step Two - Perform!
Roll 1d100. The higher you roll, the better your act is received by your audience.

If you are completing this quest in a group, you may count the first roll of step two as the roll for the group, if you so choose. Obviously this is only beneficial if they roll an 85 or higher (see below), but the offer stands for lower rolls as well. If the first person does not roll a number you are satisfied with, everyone else must roll separately. To reiterate, roll sharing only counts for the first person who rolls for step two in a group. Once the second person rolls, you may no longer count any step two roll as the group's roll. There's an example in the spoiler below, but if you have any questions, please PM Smerdle.

A Good Example of Group Rolling
Alberto rolls an 87!

No one else in the group rolls for Step Two. Everyone RPs the group's well-received act in a separate post (or posts). Everyone may claim umbrellas when they meet word count.

A Bad Example of Group Rolling
Alberto rolls a 22.
Mindy rolls a 3.
Helga rolls a 91!
Bob rolls a 67.
Yelvis rolls a 81.

Helga's roll may not be considered a group success because she did not roll first. Alberto, Mindy, Bob, and Yelvis must RP their acting/dancing/storytelling failures, while Helga RPs her blazing success. Helga is eligible for three umbrellas, everyone else gets two.

Another Good Example of Group Rolling
Alberto rolls a 22.
Mindy rolls a 99!
Helga rolls a 4.
Bob rolls a 56.
Yelvis rolls a 88!

Mindy and Yelvis's rolls may not be considered group successes because they did not roll first. Alberto, Helga, and Bob must RP their acting/dancing/storytelling failures, while Mindy and Yelvis RP their wonderful two man Hamlet. Mindy and Yelvis are eligible for three umbrellas, everyone else gets two.

If you roll an 85 or higher and post over 200 words in the quest, Zelda will reward you with three cocktail umbrellas the next time she sees you! If you roll below 85 and post over 100 words, she still recognizes your effort. You get a smiley face sticker and two umbrellas. Please claim your umbrellas in this thread using the faction quest point claim form located here.

Mel was taking inventory of the various rooms for her own personal benefit, in case she needed to know where to find something. She stayed on her floor though; it was relatively empty and so no need to be mindful of what door she might open.

Most of the rooms were normal and full of all the standard things one would expect to find in an apartment. But one room, room 1009, she found plates. Lots and lots of plates, all the plates. It was like the previous owner of the apartment was having an affair with a plate manufacturer and this was the damning evidence to prove it. It amused her though and in her notes she made a quick note of "a gajillion plates" before beginning to inspect them.

And at some point came up with the idea, because she'd seen it recently in an old magazine article.

Plate spinning.

Mel grabbed three plates and dug around for sticks she could use to practice with, then left the room so that, in case she failed, she didn't break all the plates. 'Cause what a waste that would be.

Once outside, she tried it out and was a little shocked to find that she was...succeeding! Spinning and spinning with just one hand...she grabbed the other stick and started doing much the same thing she did with the other, a laugh escaping her out of sheer surprise. Seriously, she was...spinning plates! She expected to break them all in a spectacular way, but there she was! She carefully moved one of the sticks to the other hand and tried another, and then another until she had a bouquet of four going, grinning from ear to ear at the sight.

It all had to end however, and carefully she grabbed each plate, one by one, until they were stacked neatly on the floor by her feet. Playfully she bowed and was surprised to find that she'd gathered a small audience of a sorts, and they were all smiling. One was even laughing as they walked away. And it warmed her somewhat to know that she cheered someone up in some small way, even unintentionally.

With a sigh she grabbed the plates and headed back inside to put them away, then went on with her personal inventory.
