(OPEN) COMMUNITY MESSAGE BOARD @ STARTER BASE

[shuckit]

▶ WHO: Everyone!!
▶ DATE: July 9th 2015
▶ WARNINGS: none thus far
▶ SUMMARY: A place to share your ic infos, if you please! Thomas is a freaking busy body, and he wants to get all the clues about this place gathered up, so he's going to start writing stuff he's found/woke up with onto a wall in one of the labs, and leave notes around the compound for others to do the same.



[ in one of the lab rooms, you'll find a message (possibly with more messages) scrawled on one of the walls (literally ON TO it, with either pen or a marker). it reads: ]



[ because thomas is super good about being specific. and communicative. but basically, that's what he's posting here - notes. clues, useful information, curious things - information. the advantage the gladers had in getting out of the maze was that they were united, and cooperating for the same goal. thomas doesn't know anyone here, and only has maybe two pieces of what's a much larger puzzle. he needs the rest.

so, around the compound, you'll find scraps of paper that have been taped or pinned to walls (or written directly onto them) that read in the same handwriting: ]

SEE LAB ROOM [[ ROOM NUMBER HERE ]] FOR INFO

IF YOU FOUND SOMETHING, WRITE IT DOWN

[ again, he is awesome at being verbose. if your character decides to investigate the room, they'll find thomas's notes already pinned or written onto the wall, plus whatever is left in the comments below. thomas himself will likely be around more often than not, reading things, scrawling stuff of paper, looking contemplative, or being passed the fuck out in a corner, if they want to bug him. ]


[[ ooc; okay so thomas is a nut, and also i thought we could use an icly set up means for characters to share the clues they woke up with/stuff they found/whatever other information about stuff going down. if you want, put up a top level for the actual note your dude/dudette is leaving, and idk people can tag into it if they want to seek your character out and bug them? or write notes under the note you left? idefk, let's do stuff, go wild???


PS, IF YOU WANT THE TL;DR VERSION OF THIS, i tried organizing an IC list that Thomas would have made over here. It's not perfect, so don't consider that like end all be all, but thought it might help. ]]

ever consider an aardvark leash

[conversed]

or just a normal dog leash
that'd probably work

next day

[kamikaze]

[This... this is more difficult. He only understands about 25% of those words. Not enough to make it an intelligible sentence to him.

Instead of a literate reply, Nux defaults to another careful drawing: this 'un of the minigun with all sorts of bizarre components and modifications added on. And spikes. Because. It's etched on a post-it note and slapped next to the jumble of words.]

[shuckit]

i think most of us have different virus 101s though

run fast and don't make noise seems good over all?

omfg.

[shuckit]

what

how did


why is there an aardvark

Decided to tag with Lambda instead of Heavy.

[reformatted]

What kind of help do you require?

- Lambda

[lostsoldier]

man have you ever tried to put a leash on an aardvark that has been worshiped as a god?

I can't even get him to scoot over on the couch

[borntochoose]

[Kal raises a surprised eyebrow. Not that he wanted to do it alone but he hadn't expected anyone to take him on the offer to fly to space with him. When he sees a man in some sort of suit of armor arrive, he let's out a little 'oh' of understanding.]

Hi. Name's Superman. [yeah, really. He holds his hand out for him to shake.]

[cons]

that's why i put this up first instead of trying to hold a meeting all by myself.
not just because i'm not a good public speaker, but cause i've noticed there's a lot of information being passed around.

it's usually better not to run anywhere, actually.
you run, they chase. you trip, they eat.
stick with the second part - stealthy is better.

[lostsoldier]

he came with me

[ obviously. ]

[crotchpunch]

Is your friend a zombie?

Because they sound like a zombie.

[shuckit]

you stand still, they eat. i'm not saying run before they see you, generally an after thing.

don't assume they're stupid? maybe these ones are, don't know. mine weren't.

[usavatar]

Good point. We should probably also find people with medical experience. Maybe start making a general roster of skills.

A sign out/in setup for the weapons, maybe, so no one ever has to be without, but there's at least the knowledge of where they are. And an inventory of the ammunition.

Are you volunteering?

[debts]

You should feed your bastard children something better than bugs.

ripped-off scrap of note paper

[bonking]

[ Hey now, the Riviera had a Nailhead and that shit was all muscle. ]



been 2 garag?

[pateadora]

[ Cute. -5 points.

Addendum on 1/2 a plain yellow post-it, torn off someone else's message: ]

Bet what?

same paper

[kamikaze]

[So much skill... it almost looks real. Nux has run his fingers over the drawing. Something clean, smooth and untouched. Something to be coveted were it ever to exist in its purest form in the wastes. After struggling for several minutes with the letters, Nux can understand been 2 but the second part. Garag. Garr-agg. Is it garage? He must know!

Many frantic question marks sprawl after Scout's words in response.]

[bonking]

[ He's had a lot of time to hone his skills doodling between missions and jail, though in the latter case it was more like fingerpaints with the copious amounts of Spy's cigarette ash because they wouldn't give them any pencils on account of Spy being able to stab anything to death with something sharp. Asshole.

The question marks have him scratching his chin. ]

were they keep cars???

car is a camero

[ That covers it right? ]

nearby

[fishhook]

[courageously]

He's not normal, but he's a horse. You can meet him.

[courageously]

[ well there's a lot of other maps, too, now but the writing comes back just as carefully, just as old fashioned. ]

My horse, Arion. He's faster than any form of mechanical transformation.

[reginaprocacis]

Look, what I'm getting at is, I'm aware neither of us are exactly thrilled to be essentially dependent on the other. But we've got to set those differences aside.

[gayson]

[ This is new handwriting. There's a lot of things on his mind when he reads it, a lot of things he could say, but there's not nearly enough paper to do it by and he's not sure he wants to spill his guts to queen and country. So he'll just pen an eloquent, pink: ]

thanks

in pink marker to the same note

[gayson]

+1

Post-it. Pink Marker

[gayson]

[ Big marker, slight flourishes: ]

CAN WE GET A MORE COMPREHENSIVE UPDATE?
