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.

In her normally sober state Mel would never even think about singing in public. Today though, was a little different. The small bit of confidence she had in her voice was in part due to her mother's encouraging words and constant reminders of how she had a chance at a singing career if she gave it an honest shot. For Mel it just seemed like words any typical mother would say so she never took it seriously, but she did used to always sing this particular song, a lullaby of all things, to her sister when she was just a baby. It was one her mother used to sing to her as well, and one she knew by heart by the time she was in middle school (both in lyric and meaning and history).

Given the time of day it was at least appropriate; it was getting a little late, and she'd lit a candle and taken it outside. A breeze blew past and she took a deep breath, let the memories of all those nights that she sang that song. In her mind she set the scene, down to the innocent smile of her baby sister, and then took another deep breath...

Her voice started quiet first, so soft it was as though she were merely whispering to herself. There was clearly a tune though, and slowly but surely it started to carry with each word. It was likely foreign to anyone who heard, but her voice was clear and nearly haunting, it carried the sad, quiet tune into the night sky. It was meant as a tribute to her sister who would have turned 10 that very day, in her memory because she honestly didn't think she'd ever see her again. The lyrics were oddly appropriate as well, if one were to translate them...but she wouldn't be doing any translations today. She simple sang on, as best as she could through the tears that started to fall.

Her voice quivered, shook as she tried to continue without her voice breaking. How successful she was, she couldn't really be sure. Frankly, she didn't care. Memories of her times with her sister flashed as they often did, only this time they had her complete attention. Each picture represented a year of her life, and to think it was cut short by something like this...she hadn't even been able to say goodbye, at least not properly. The tears continued to fall as she sang the last few lines of the lullaby, gradually her voice quieted until she was whispering to herself once more. She rounded to the first verse again, wiping vigorously at her tears.

    "O ba ba mo leanabh
    Ba mo leanabh, ba
    O ba ba mo leanabh
    Nì mo leanabhs' an ba ba..."


As the last of the melody was carried away by the breeze she sighed, not minding the eyes she felt were on her back. She ignored the pitied looks she was getting and the soft applause they were giving. With blue eyes welled up with tears that she knew wouldn't be stopping anytime soon, Mel leaned down and gently blew out the candle.

"Good night, Mira," she whispered, then straightened herself out and slowly walked back to her room.
