SECURITY SCREENING
Once upon a time, the Clearview Apartments had an airy, spacious lobby. It has since been transformed into a security hub and is the first line of defense against undesirable human survivors. Capable individuals, such as yourself, can volunteer to assist those who maintain the building's security full time.

Quote:
To consider this quest complete, you must clear or deny entry to three people. It doesn't matter if all three fail to make it inside during the first step; as long as you have attempted to clear three individuals, you may go for the umbrella reward.

If you are taking on this quest in a group, one person may do the rolling as long as everyone RPs the results.


Step One - The Key Card
Each resident has a key card that they must carry on their person at all times. The key card readers are the only things that have a working source of power in the building, and as long as they are active, no one without a card should even be able to get through the glass doors without resorting to violence. Ideally, you should be able to just stand there while they let themselves in.

Roll 1d4.

  1. The person approaching has no key card. They beg you to let them in, but you stand firm. Eventually they give up. (It is up to you how much they fight before they go/are chased away.)
  2. The person approaching has no key card, but you swear you recognize them. You let them inside when the main guards aren't looking. Move on to Step Two.
  3. The person approaching produces their key card and passes through the front doors without incident. Move on to Step Two.
  4. The person outside has spent the last twenty minutes searching for their key card and... oh, look! They finally found it! How did it even get in there? Move on to Step Two.

Step Two - The Umbrella
This is a simple umbrella check. Ask to see the resident's equipment.

Roll 1d20.

  • 1-13: An umbrella is successfully produced for inspection. Examine it. Hold it. Comment on it. Move on to Step Three.
  • 14-20: The faker tries to explain that they just misplaced their umbrella, but even if you believe them, they can't come any farther. You may assist security in kicking the person out, or stand back and watch.

Step Three - The Salute
Every Clearview resident must know the Clearview Salute. It changes weekly, so if you have a poor memory, stay inside. In order to make sure the person trying to enter knows the salute, you must take them behind one of several cloth screens and watch them perform it.

Roll 1d6.

  1. They obviously know nothing of the salute. Halfway through their attempt they give up, muttering to themself as they are escorted out.
  2. Upon noticing that entry requires a salute, they scream in terror and run back outside.
  3. They execute the Clearview Salute flawlessly! You feel confident welcoming them with open arms.
  4. You almost approve this person for entry, but something about them gives you pause. You ask to see their umbrella again, and while you're examining it, it falls apart in your hands! INTRUDER!
  5. They confidently perform a salute, but it's not the right one. They're going to have to go.
  6. After hesitating a little, they stiffly run through the entirety of the salute, only missing one or two gestures. It's good enough, even for the proper security guard peering over your shoulder.

If you complete this quest and post over 100 words, October will reward you with two cocktail umbrellas the next time he sees you! Please claim them in this thread using the faction quest point claim form located here.


It was guard duty day! Self-appointed, but all the same Mel went out to the main entrance to the Clearview Apartment Complex and stood watch with the other guards, all smiles and ready for a day's work.

The first to approach was a woman who looked...completely out of it. And without her keycard. Which was a bit worrisome but upon closer inspection Mel realized that it was that lady! The one lady from the 9th floor who always drove her crazy by banging at her ceiling, which was incidentally adjacent to Mel's floor. The woman gave her a hard time but she wasn't cruel enough to let her stand outside even though she clearly knew who she was. When the guards weren't looking she went ahead and opened the door, giving her a warm smile in return for the grateful one the woman was beaming at her.

It was unfortunate though, that despite Mel recognizing the woman she had no umbrella on her person. She insisted that she dropped it, that it'd gone missing while she was out. but all Mel could do was apologize as she escorted the woman back outside. Before she closed off the door, though, she smiled softly and encouraged her to find an umbrella while she was out, and to not come back without one.

The next person to swing by took all of forever to search their pockets, bags, jackets and basically everything they had on them before finding their key at last. He swiped it and was granted entry, and Mel waved as she approached to start the umbrella inspection. She could only hope that it wouldn't take forever for her to find the darn thing, else she might have to send this one out like she did the last one.

Unlike his keycard though, he had umbrella ready to be inspected as soon as he set down all of his stuff. With a smile Mel took it and inspected it, made sure it wasn't a phony (because yes, others have tried before), then closed it up again before handing it back. "Looks good," she said, then gestured toward where they tested for the salute. "Follow me, please."

It was clear that he didn't know the salute at all, though, because the gestures and false starts he gave were all of older salutes that had long since been replaced. She sighed and watched as the other guards escorted him out, then sank into her chair to await the arrival of their next guest. Why was it that when she was on guard duty whenever these people tried to slip through the cracks?

The next man didn't even have a keycard. He didn't even pretend, either. He just went straight to the door and started banging on it and begging them to let him in. With another sigh Mel got up just as another guard made for the door to chase the guy off. "That's it for me, guys," she said as she gave a lazy wave and headed back up to take a nap in the lounge.
