❪ mini-event ❫ OLYMPIA QUESTS: 1
|
It isn’t easy starting life in a new place. It quickly becomes apparent that you are in dire need of two very important things: money and a good name. In addition to full-time jobs, certain people in Olympia will reward handsomely for helping them with tasks. Submit any AC eligible thread of participating in this log's prompts for One (1) Olympia REP point HERE. Threads involving your flora/fauna submission may also be submitted, even if your submission is not made official game canon.
FOR THE RECORD  It’s time to put on your hiking shoes. Characters will be approached by both Evras and Lysa at separate times. Both individuals are interested in recording species of plants and animals-- El Nysa is bursting with all sorts of life, after all! It is impossible to chronicle all of it without help. You will be provided with a journal to chronicle your findings. Each submission pays 100 silver. OOC: We need YOUR help in worldbuilding the area in and around Olympia and The Outlook! Create a creature or plant and submit it HERE by August 31st at 11:59 PM EST. ONE entry per character only. NOTE: If you have accepted a job at The Sanctuary or Simwe Institute, you MUST submit your entry to your boss to maintain your position. You may assume a character got the job if they established contact, even if an official offer hasn't been extended yet. Although an entry will net you TWO (2) Olympia REP points no matter what, we will be choosing a maximum of 20 entries to include in the official bestiary for future encounters. THE BIRDS AND THE BEES
Along with the request to record traits of a certain specimen, Evras and Lysa independently ask for more quick favors. Certain species, due to their unique natures, aren’t as prone to procreating as one would hope. They need your help. The directions for these requests, provided by Evras or Lysa, are simple. You will be provided a small amount of heavy aphrodisiacs (and a mask) to spray in a particular region. Because the natural aphrodisiacs of the island run a bit thin there, the wildlife has been less... willing to comply. Each species you help will net you 50 silver. Three species in particular are in need of a little help.
Note: There will be a mask provided. Forgetting it may mean you start to feel some of the effects yourself. You may also be immune. Please put appropriate warnings in threads if applicable.  Xlarix, also commonly referred to as the love bug. Found in MURKWELL HOLLOW.  Sepht, found in EDRATHE RUINS: Both shy and antisocial, it’s no wonder these little marsupials don’t have much luck in the mating department. They prefer to live in isolation, and are much more concerned with hoarding everything they can get their hands on. This includes stealing anything you may have brought with you. As a warning, they are incredibly strong. They can also fly, so good luck catching them after they’ve made off with your stuff. Let’s hope you can get back that magical sword or enchanted necklace of yours.  Cinjaw, found JUST OUTSIDE OLYMPIA. Domestic animals kept by local farmers in the outskirts of Olympia. These guys are just really, really lazy. Too lazy to care about things like passing on their genes. Honestly, if it weren’t for the efforts of humans and the fact that their meat is too delicious for the Olympians to allow these creatures to go extinct, they would have been wiped out years ago. HELP A NEIGHBOR
Being new is tough in any given neighborhood. This is especially the case when you’re a newly arrived refugee. Though you’ve been welcomed here, you haven’t established a lot of trust in the community. Your neighbors don’t know a single thing about you, and that name tag fiasco doesn’t count.
Fortunately for all of you, the rule of this game is simple. There is no monetary payment, but isn't it priceless to feel good about being a good samaritan? Make yourself helpful. Did you neighbor mention wanting to take their pet chicken out on a walk? Offer to do it for them and they may pay you back in a meal or a small gift. Did one of them mention needing help with rearranging their collection of thousands of cat figurines? Well, who better than to ask but you! You over there, why not help your fellow refugee by doing this task together? It never hurt to do some teamwork. Or maybe your roommate is the one taking that chicken out on a walk, and you’re just ready to judge. Complete judgment. But hey, that’s fair. BLOOD BANK
CW: Needles, Blood
One of the things that quickly becomes apparent about life in Olympia is that all citizens are welcome, including those who may possess unique dietary requirements. The Blood Bank is an institution that has stood proudly for many years, and in addition to providing meals for some of its citizens, the supply is invaluable for care in The Sanctuary, research in Simwe Institute, and for use in certain types of magic. They're offering you a special today, for your blood in particular! You just look so... healthy and able-bodied. Donate a few pints, and you'll earn an easy 200 silver. Unfortunately, the center is so busy today that they've had to call on volunteers, and depending on who you've met so far, your particular volunteer may look familiar. It's... another refugee. Wait, are they even qualified?! How did they even get roped into this?! Qualified or not, the job pays well for both the refugees donating, and the ones drawing the blood (much more for whoever's donating, though. Fair is fair.). A blood drawing set inclusive of clean needles, antiseptic swabs and a blood storage kit, will be provided. Sticking a needle into a vein isn't as easy as those people in the Sanctuary make it seem, though. You may not always get it the first time, so try, try again! And if you still can't hit the bulls-eye? A rogue-looking Olympian "volunteer" approaches and hands you a knife. Apparently, cutting right into the vein and collecting the blood in a saucer also works; the staff would only need to sterilize the blood with a spell afterward. And about the gaping wound you'd cause? They always have healing potions on hand for when things go wrong (but just like the potions from before, they have been known to cause some nausea). You'll do anything to help your fellow Olympian, right? OOC
There are a total of 3 OLYMPIA REP POINTS possible to earn in this log. 2 from OOCly submitting a flora/fauna above in For the Record, and 1 for submitting any AC-length thread for any of these prompts. You may do one or the other, or both. Submit a flora/fauna HERE and submit an AC-eligible thread HERE by AUGUST 31st 11:59 PM EST.
The results of The Birds and the Bees will be submitted to whoever you submit a flora/fauna entry to. If you do not submit a flora/fauna entry, submission to either one may be handwaved. In the event of CAPTCHA, we will be providing an overflow. In the event of a second CAPTCHA, players are advised to move threads to an overflow post on their character journals. These threads remain eligible for AC, AC Rewards, and REP. 1 SILVER = 1 US DOLLAR.

i finally found a weird neighbor task
[Here's Junpei. Here's both of them, actually, roped into helping a local with an... interesting and unique problem. Junpei is holding a garden hose and a bucket. They've been provided with an old sponge and what might actually be dish soap.
And, counter to where this seemed like it was going when said local roped them both into this and started handing out cleaning supplies: a pile of trash. Not messy trash, necessarily - newspapers that were left on the ground, a few old cups, an empty bottle... The sort of trash someone would pick up off the street if they were doing community service.
But: the cleaning supplies. Junpei looks sideways at Aoi, after staring down at the trash pile for a good few minutes.]
So he wants us to wash... the garbage? Seriously?
no subject
Where the hell did you find this guy?
[He eyes the cleaning supplies and the trash pile, trying to derive a purpose from their task.]
...maybe it's for recycling? [That's the only logic he can find behind this nonsense. Notice he does not actually start cleaning. Maybe he can supervise and make Junpei do all the heavy lifting.
It worked in the Games, right?]no subject
He, uh, sort of came out of nowhere. [Like a real NPC, how convenient. Junpei glances then at the weird trash man's house, in case he's sitting in the window watching them not get to work. For now, they're safe.]
Do you soap down your recycling first?
no subject
No, but it probably gets rinsed off somewhere in the process, right? So shut up.
[At least he's coming up with ideas, which is better than the detective over there is doing.
Ugh, apparently the cool Junpei isn't as gullible as off-brand McFly. Damn. Aoi reluctantly steps toward the garbage.]
Alright...we'll sort it into piles...and then wash it, I guess?
[Maybe as they examine items, they'll find some kind of clue to why they're doing this? Or they'll make dumb jokes. That's way more likely.]
no subject
This is really... weird. And for them, that's saying something.]
Hang it up to dry, too. [Is he making this part up? It's hard to tell.] Maybe the clothespins are under all the actual garbage. Terry Trashman's a tough nut to crack.
[He's already naming the literal real people neighbors stupid shit, it's going to be a long afternoon.]
no subject
We can't spray any of this shit until we go through and get the newspapers out, otherwise they're gonna get all soggy and dissolve. And that'd probably piss Perry Packrat off.
[Meh, their neighbors don't need real names. Shitty nicknames will do 'em just fine.]
no subject
Harry Hoarder has to climb out of his trash heap house before he can get back to us. [This is... definitely the way to make nice with the neighbors. Junpei sighs, nudging one of those empty bottles with the toe of his shoe.]
So... you take the left side, and I'll take the right? Maybe we'll get a whole month of news.
no subject
I'll save the funny papers for you.
[Ugh, this is so dumb. He moves to his side and starts sorting through the trash.]
You think Gary Garbage would notice if we just threw this shit away?
[That would be doing their neighbor a solid, right? Who would even want this crap?]
no subject
I dunno... I can't tell if he's watching. The windows are kinda dark.
[He keeps glancing at them, as he moves to gingerly pick up some papers. Hmm...]
And I'm running out of material, here... Walter Waste? Carlos Compost?
[Carlos has to stay in stasis now because he's said this.]
no subject
[Not that Aoi seems the least bit concerned about checking on the dude. Meh, he'll live as he died, surrounded by trash.]
Keep digging, there's bound to be a book of baby names or something in here somewhere.
[If not, they already know a dude named 'Light Field', so it's not like the bar for their comedy bit is set very high. They'll get by, somehow.]
no subject
I don't like the implications of that - this guy with kids? Are they down here, too?
no subject
[He really hopes not, though. Maybe once they really start unpacking the heaps, it'll turn out that they all look way bigger than they are. Aoi doesn't wanna spend his entire afternoon at this.
He tosses the papers he finds to the side, gives his pile a once-over, and mentally declares it 'good enough for this trash asshole'.]
Ok, wanna hose it down now?
no subject
He's prepared. Anyway,] Stand back, unless you want to keep these front row spray seat tickets.
[Like at Sea World? Just move and he'll hold the hose out to wash the trash.
... He'll stand there as nothing happens before he has to go thirty feet away, turn the water on, then come back to wash the trash.]
no subject
[Leave it to Junpei to ruin a mundane task. That next level fuck-up talent right there. Aoi levels that judgemental stare at him while he does the jog of shame over to the water faucet. He takes a step back right before the spraying starts, because this shit odd job isn't worth messing up his hair.]
no subject
That'll do it. You're up.
[Hey remember when they agreed Aoi would hang up this actual garbage on an actual clothesline? No? Well.]
no subject
He's not a fan of this 'agreement'.]
Really, you can only last that long? [The emotion he's conveying with his disapproving stare is a mix between 'Thank god Akane was spared this' and 'Poor Snake's in for some disappointment'.
But if Junpei's having hose trouble, it looks like the next part will be up to Aoi. He groans and picks up one of the cleaning rags to start drying off the glass bottles. How would sticking them on a clothesline even work?]
no subject
No, he doesn't, but he gives him a look and makes an indignant noise of protest, but like, not one that wants to speak words from his mouth to Aoi about his sexual prowess? Nothing about that statement sounds like a good time. He doesn't like that look, buddy!!
And he does spray Aoi with the hose, just a little. Jerk. He aims low.]
no subject
[Low blow, Junpei, literally. His toes are gonna get all wrinkled from being trapped in soggy socks, and his shoes themselves might never be the same. Bastard.
He bunches his wet cleaning rag into a ball to throw at Junpei's dumb head. It's not the best projectile, but it's what he has. This cleaning is never getting done.]
no subject
[yEAH that's DEFINITELY the phrase, fuck. Okay. He's ducking away from the rag and holding the hose up defensively, so dodge that generous spray before it hits that perfect punk rock coif.]
no subject
He takes one of the newspapers from the pile and balls it up to throw at Junpei. Now they're actually going backwards in their cleaning, just great. Trashole's gonna be pissed at them.]
Oh, wow, that one burned. Try not to hurt yourself coming up with those witty lines!
no subject
Stop throwing that crap at me! This isn't how a helpful neighbor should behave.
no subject
[I mean, they probably both contributed, but Aoi's cool with blaming Junpei. Besides, who gives a fuck about being good neighbors?]
Drop the damn hose and then we'll talk ceasefires.
[At least maybe the water is helping the garbage get clean or something?]
no subject
Step away from the trash and nobody gets soaked.
no subject
How am I supposed to clean it if I step away?
[Wait! Aoi totally steps back from the trash pile.]
If you insist. It's all yours, have fun.
no subject
I did my part. You're the one who's supposed to hang the stuff up, remember?
