❪ 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.

He's frowning from within his mask, looking between Senren to the hooved animal, back to Senren....]
I'm not spraying its other end.
[The position's available for his partner, however.]
no subject
Maybe we can just...put it in it's water. They have to drink.
no subject
[Asinine question, of course the horse-yaks have to drink at some point. Watch 'some point' be once a week, though.
On the other hand, what if the aphrodisiac ends up neutralized on water-contact.]
I knew this was a bad idea.
no subject
[ Which means he's definitely not sure. Ugh. ]
How can an animal be this lazy? It's a miracle they've even lived to this age. [ Another disgruntled sigh. ]
Just get it over with so I can write down the effects. Then we can be off and never speak of this traumatic event again.
no subject
Alright, I'm gonna do it on three.
[Just in case; he's using his fingers to indicate the countdown. Three, two...
And he sprays with his opposite hand, immediately backing up upon doing so, though the animal's entirely unresponsive.
Maybe it's dead.]
no subject
or so he said. Being a knight Enchanter definitely didn't make him as frail as some mages.
There's just a look of tiny disgust as the young man stands behind the creature, one that could only be a cheap imitation of Cassandra's look. ]
Be ready to run on four. [ In case this thing takes poorly to it.
He watches, waits and when the count down is said and done and the spray released...nothing.
His mouth is knitted in a line and he slowly steps over to it and just pokes it's face with his staff.
Nothing. ]
Seriously? Don't want to find yourself a lovely lady friend? Just stand here eating grass.
[ sigh. ] Well, I know what my notes will say: creatures clearly wishing for slow, boring death.
no subject
I guess he's....hungry.
[It's not like he can really blame the thing for not caring about mating -- not that he'd audibly confess to such a thing, because that's weird.]
Can't they just mass-produce their meat like tofu? [A question the elf can't answer.] I guess we should find a different one.
no subject
Suppose that's all we can do. Here, I'll...I'll spray the next one. Maybe if we do the face this time it'll be different.
[ And he holds out a hand to take the bottle. Let him spare you this one, Keith.. ]
no subject
It's not Lavellan, it's the task.]
Maybe we should choose one that's not eating.
[Maybe one that's sunbathing, yeah.]
no subject
Good call.
[ And he's going to walk over to that sunbathing one and just spray it on it's face.
....Nothing. ]
Seriously? Does this stuff even work? Maybe I should just empty the whole bottle on it's head.
[ and he's just going to start unscrewing it. This is definitely a good idea. ]
no subject
Shouldn't we keep some? In case we ...want insurance?
[Spread the wealth throughout the herd, yadda yadda. He's not physically going to intervene if he truly thinks pouring the whole thing over this creature's head will help.
Good team.]
no subject
We're always able to go for more. [ and there he goes pouring it right on the creature's head.
This will go well he's sure. ]
no subject
Okay. He's never been versed in the art of mating, from a personal standpoint or a clinical one. He's more or less forced to put some trust into Lavellan, observing with crossed arms.
All in all, the animal looks interrupted, idle still. There's a fullbody shake involved and he starts lumbering elsewhere; whether it's to a girl or a quieter place to eat is yet to be seen....]
no subject
Well, that was pointless. I suppose we should go back for more....or we can call it for the day.
Either is an option.
no subject
[Why did they deplete so much of it on nothing? In hindsight, that was a terrible idea. But only in hindsight.]
We should wait a while...just in case. If it goes to sleep, this whole thing might have been a distraction.
[Enter: THE X-FILES.]
sorry for the super late response
But so is Lavellan. There's a long sigh as he folds his arms before stepping back and taking a seat on the edge of the fence. ]
Well, if we're going to sit here and watch animals graze for the time being we may as well get comfy.
[ He looks to the spot on the fence beside him and gives it a pat. Come on, join him. ]
no worries
But, it's fine, and he does move to the available spot as indicated by Lavellan. Could be interesting. It's not like they've got these back on Earth.]
no subject
He offers out a hand to them; ]
If we're going to be spending the next while together observing we may as well get friendly, right? My name's Senren Lavellan. [ shake the hand, Keith. It won't bite. ]
no subject
[Testing it aloud, coupled with a hand raising to take his in a light grip. His hand looks normal enough...]
I'm Keith.
[Just Keith.]
You're a refugee too, right?
no subject
Correct. I'm guessing the ears gave me away? Or was it the sheer amount of cluelessness to these creatures?
no subject
Hey, it's not like he knew what do either; assuring him of such seems like he's overcompensating for maybe-offending him. Operation Let's Not Make It Worse commences.]
The first one, but I've seen ears like that before.
[If it helps.]
no subject
[ Because it seems like everyone has pointy ears everywhere. ]
no subject
[Ah, this is hard.]
I'm from Earth, but I've gone to other planets. I was thinking of Alteans.
[The most concise way he can string his thoughts together here...]
