Make a Request

Whether you make the request for your characters or your characters have a request themselves, this is the place to make it. The in-character requests are made through an app on the characters' devices. Basically, it is network contact for the gods.

Comment below. Please specify whether or not the request is IC or OOC in the subject line. IC requests are need to be made in the character's voice.

IC, what the hell he thinks, let's give this a shot

[blueeyedhunter]

Really like it if I could have a box of .45 cal ammunition, a box of 9mm ammunition and a decent suit. Please.

Amen?

[stormcovemods]

Russell will find this suit laid out on his bed:



With a note pinned to it:

Sorry, fresh out of bullets, try again later. Hope the suit is to your taste!

--C

P.S. Don't shoot anyone over cigarettes. It's rude.

IC

[escapist]

Let's see if this fucker works.

Hey, Gods and/or Goddesses of the Ether or whatever: I dare you to give us Rachel.

You know which Rachel, and if you want to know how to make me hella in your debt for fuckin' ever? This is it.

-- oh, right, and some vodka. The good shit. If you're gonna haul our asses in here, the least you can do is let us drink to forget.

[stormcovemods]

An almost immediate text response:

Patience is a virtue. You'll see your friend soon enough.

You must be seriously blind. Or illiterate. Maybe both. That could explain a lot. Read your letter again and you'll know where to get your vodka.

Quest for the Suit part 2

[blueeyedhunter]

Thank you for the suit. I appreciated it. I can use it as a hazard marker should I need one. But if you could send a pair of [Russell's exact size] charcoal gray trousers and a navy blue [Russell's size] dress shirt. I'd really really appreciate it.

P.S. I was going to punch him. Not shoot him.

[stormcovemods]

Sorry, fresh out of that stuff. Try again in....about a month! Maybe we'll have it then. But you're welcome to keep asking. You're so cute when you're angry.

[lydiascreams]

Hello. [And she feels absolutely stupid doing this, but she's desperate so she might as well give it a try. And she'll do her best to be charming as she does.]

I'm Lydia-- but I'm sure you know that. Thanks for letting me share a room with my best friend, that was very thoughtful of you.

I was wondering if I could get more-- variety in my wardrobe. Dresses, specifically. And boots would be great as well. [She'll go for heels if this works out.]

[stormcovemods]

Oh yes, Lydia, I know you well! I do hope you're enjoying your stay here far better than that nasty place you were in before.

If your current clothes are not to your satisfaction, why would you choose to wear them? That seems rather silly. But....I suppose I can grant you ONE outfit. You do need to be dressed properly if you're going to get ANY work done. Tell you what. Close your eyes, and imagine the outfit you want most. And I'll see what I can do!

Totally IC, yo.

[tasteslike]

Hello there! I'm Cassandra, but I'm pretty sure you knew that. I mean, you're omniscient and presumably sucking people from different dimensions here so it would stand to reason you'd know who all of us are.

Anyway, seeing as how you want us to restore this town, it would be super helpful if you could provide us with a few things. Like for example, tools and building materials we can use to restore some of the more precarious structures. And maybe some maps of the local area? That would spare us the time we'd take exploring to work on the actual restoration.

Thank you for your time!

Oh, and one more thing - is there a library here? With books? There should really be a library.

[stormcovemods]

Well, aren't you a sharp one, Cassandra?

And yet you've missed so many things. Try the Town Hall. The Hardware store. They're there for you, are they not? I can't do everything for you.

But since you're the only one with some drive, I suppose I could help a LITTLE. Look to the north for what you need.

[ On the desk in her room, she will find a rolled up, poster-sized map of the area. Mostly the shoreline and forests drawn in. No roads or anything.

In the Town Hall, a larger version of the map is on display. Anything she adds to her copy will appear on this version as well.

The hardware store, that was previously completely empty, now has a small collection of basic tools. ]

[the_healer]

Hello? My name is Melissa McCall and I'm wondering if there is or used to be a clinic that I could work out of? I'm sure the people being brought here could use a nurse or any other medical staff that might be around?

[stormcovemods]

Oh I'm sure there was one around here SOMEWHERE. I seem to have misplaced it. Should you find it, let me know! I'll make sure you've got what you need! Wouldn't want anyone bleeding out on us! That'd be a real shame!

[[OOC: That is to say, pick one of the abandoned buildings (dark gray) and it will become a clinic ]]

IC

[articulatings]

I don't suppose any of you fine diving beings know of the bible? "Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to do it. Do not say to your neighbor, “Go, and come again, tomorrow I will give it”—when you have it with you."

I'm lookin' for a bit of Christian Goodness even though I'm fairly certain y'all ain't part of that in the least, meanin' no offense, 'course. Just that in order to help you better, I might need a little extra in order to get my tributes proper, as it were.

I'm takin' over the saloon to make a fine establishment, raise morale in this city. Don't suppose you can help me out? Sayin' you got script, you've got the power to make sure I'm the only competition. I'll have fair prices, count on that, but havin' a bar when the hotel's got it's on free one is rather moot, wouldn't you say?

Askin' for some help. You put the booze in the hotel and stock it into the saloon instead and you'll get nothin' but a good business in this reviving town.

And in case you ain't the type to do sometin' for free--which I understand in the fullest--consider me owing you a favour after this.

[stormcovemods]

Bible...Bible...By-bill...OH! Yes. I can get you one of those! Get you all set up.

[ Boyd will find on his desk something that looks a lot like a bible. And flipping through it even reads like a bible. But upon close inspection, the text isn't quite right. Large chunks of it are accurate, but pieces seem to be taken from other holy texts of various worlds. Some of it even describes the gods in Storm Cove, though it gets confusing because they are referred to by names like Order and Chaos. At least it's all in English. ]

And who am I to stall a proper business in motion? You're welcome to any of the bottles in the motel, just don't expect ME to move them for you! Check out the store rooms if you wanna find something to move it all! But worry not, I'll make sure restocks are well taken care of!

Debt? Who needs to worry about debt when you're doing all the work?

[ In the store room of the bar, he'll find hand trucks and crates suitable for packing up all of the alcohol. ]

OOC

[stoykost]

Illya, and presumably other athletic/enforcement type folk could use a gym to train or work out in. It'd be a draw for the town and, as a martial arts master, he'd run the place for employment purposes.

Please and thanks!

Re: OOC

[stormcovemods]

He can find an old, run-down gym with rudimentary equipment (weights and the like) in the lot to the left of the Saloon (across from the hardware store). It's incredibly disused, overgrown with a mildly damaged floor, but structurally intact otherwise. Mostly, it needs a really good deep clean.

The gym being beside the white supremacist run saloon is in no way sparked by nefarious intent of any kind ;)

IC

[strategic_guile]

Well, if I'm going to be working trying to repair these buildings, I need the proper equipment. I need a proper pair of steel toe boots, work gloves, a pair of workman's coveralls, and safety glasses.

Then I need a hammer, power saw, nails, all the kinds of things to work with the wood we have around here. If I think of anything else I'll ask.

Re: IC

[stormcovemods]

Well, at last SOMEONE is practical! But don't expect me to deliver the tools to you. Go get them yourself.

[ He will find the boots, gloves and coveralls. Hope you like pink and floral print, Blaine. At least the boots are standard tan.

In the hardware store, there will be some useful tools and boxes of nails and other such useful things. But no power tools. ]

IC

[queen_cordelia]

Hi. I'm Cordelia Chase [On the off change you don't already know that. She has no idea if she's dealing with TPTB from her world or another's.]

I'd like to start a detective agency like where I worked back home. Even if no one needs it right now, with the abundance of people popping up, eventually trouble's going to happen and I'd like to start getting prepared to help.

[stormcovemods]

Yeah, that's great and all that you wanna do that thing, but the jobs we need people doing right now are things that aren't that. I mean, we've got cops coming out of our ears here, and not a whole lot of crime or mysteries to be solved. So why don't you try something a little more important first?

Here's an idea...

[ And a pair of coveralls appears in front of her. Complete with a pair of work boots and a pair of gloves. ]

The laundromat needs to be mucked out. Maybe you could start there.

IC

[istillfeelempty]

Hey, is it possible to get a crossbow and all that? For hunting?

[stormcovemods]

And just what is it you'll be hunting, Jeremy? You're not exactly desperate for food.

IC

[lydiascreams]

Since I'll be working at the clinic. Can I get some books so I can actually be useful in case of an emergency where I have to help out?

[stormcovemods]

An actually useful request for once! Consider it done!

[ Four random books appear on her desk. ]

IC

[scienceandfaith]

[Kala seems to think this is a little...sacreligious? To communicate through a deity on an app. But one must be adaptable, and so she makes use of it.]

Hello? I am hoping to speak to one of the gods in residence. I do not want to appear disrespectful - I would have made some food and brought it to an altar as an offering, but I'm not sure which god to offer it to, or where to necessarily go.

You see, my own personal god is Ganesha - he has been very important to me ever since I was a little girl, and I would like to know if I may continue to pray to him here without offending you? And if so, may I have some things to create an altar in my home? A proper idol, some candles, perhaps some incense and a burner. I can pick flowers for it myself. I will gladly pay respectful homage to the gods here as well, but I would consider it a kindness if I may continue to pray to him without offending.

Also, can you provide me with a book on the local flora and their medicinal properties? I'm going to be making medicine and I would like some kind of reference, especially if it is not the same as what is available at home.

Thank you very much.

[stormcovemods]

[ It's obvious that the raven-headed god is perplexed by her request at first. Clearly seen on the video response. He opens his mouth to speak, but stops. Frowns. He holds up a finger, then lowers it. But something shifts and he smiles.

Then the feed just disconnects without giving an answer. However, shortly after there is a thud at her door of a book colliding with it. And when she opened the door, she'd see a raven perched on the railing. Which takes off moments after.

The book is a semi-comprehensive listing of the plant life in the area. It's not very specific on the medicinal properties, but there are some mentions of such things. ]

ic

[unpossible]

Right, okay - this asking thing is new to me. I've never done the prayer thing, not really. I'm Clara, Clara Oswald - which you probably know, obviously - nice one Clara. [ she sighs. ]

I'm manager of the general store and I have a list of some things I'd like. A few things to make the store more homey - not that it isn't!

[ she wants to be careful here, until she has a better idea of how they'll respond to things. ]

Some holiday decorations might be nice. Things to make it look more welcoming. Maybe a bench outside, some plants - there are some that thrive in the cold! Maybe some fairy lights for the windows. Something I can make new signs to use inside the store with. Oh, and post-it notes. I could really use some of those.

Uh... thanks?

[stormcovemods]

See?! This is the sort of initiative I've been wanting to see! At least one of you works properly.

[ In the back room of the store she will find all that she asked for and then some. An over-abundance of supplies. And decorations to cover Halloween, Thanksgiving AND Christmas. The bench appeared outside, but the requested plants were in the store room. ]

IC

[born_a_wolf]

What would one have to do in order to feel whole again here? Our senses are dulled and I no longer have my full wolf form. So what would it take in order to regain what I lost?

[Though he seems to think about that for a moment]

And is there a lake around or do we need to do it old style? Make it ourselves.

IC

[parvus_lupus]

A good set of clothes would be nice. After all, a girl can't walk around barefoot and in nothing but a suit jacket.

[She gives a small smile because this seems silly but after living around witches for so long...]

Also, a place for a gaming building. That way the people of Storm Cove can have something to do on their off time. A place for pool, video games and such like that.
