MINI-EVENT: MIMICS

May 28th – June 1st, 2022
So Bhujerba was a nice little break, right? The Navarch was also kind enough to arrange for the ship crew to onboard some goods for the wardens and inmates to use on their journey, and have it delivered to the storage facility for later use.

Except oops: some of it is now missing! Seeing as shipping containers don't just walk off on their own, someone must have pinched it. Passengers will have to figure out what happened to the missing freight. (And surprise, the Peregrine accidentally took on some Mimics — large insects that pose as Bhujerban shipping containers. But what's a little conflict between wardens and inmates over who is responsible, huh?)

This plotting post is also going to be a little different from the others. We'd like you to reply here with some items your character would want from home (feel free to give us multiple ideas). We'll matchmake those items with a character who will eventually find it, and try to direct it to its rightful owner. RNG threads! Who doesn't love a good RNG thread?

An event log will go up shortly. You can use this post for any OOC plotting! If you have any questions about the event, please ask here.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS.

I see we can request loot--what kind of loot? Or do we just make something up? Also my char doesn't really have items from home in his canon game--it's okay if I make stuff up, right?

[returnjourney]

You can make something up, as long as it's somehow linked directly to Alex (e.g., photographs of loved ones that might not necessarily be shown in canon but surely exist, a presumed favorite childhood toy, etc).

And the loot header is for the RNG aspect of the event! By destroying a mimic, a character can pick up whatever items it's carrying. These will be randomized from the submissions header.

Awesomesauce. ^^ TY.

Does the item need to be something your character actually wants, or can it be something the Navarch might think they'd want?

Caaaaaan characters receive items their breach/alternate universe selves possessed? (I know, I know, I'm sorry.)

What happens to mimic corpses after they're killed? Just lying around? I DON'T UNDERSTAND VIDEO GAMES

[returnjourney]

1) Items don't need to be something they want! The Navarch would collect something if she thought it might be useful to them somehow.

2) Tragically, no items that belonged to characters' breach or alt selves.

3) The mimic corpses just chill until the passengers dispose of them! Have fun airlocking them.

Yesssss thank you!

Re: QUESTIONS & ANSWERS.

Just for my own edification... what's the limit on weapon-type items here? (It's not my fault, they're just the most valued thing in his universe 😭)

[returnjourney]

Weapons shouldn't be anything that can extensively damage the Peregrine or incapacitate multiple passengers in a single blast, since damaging the integrity of the hull or anything of the like would be pretty bad in space.

That said, weapons do fall under contraband for inmates, so sadly Tim wouldn't be able to obtain one this way!

[doppleman]

Aw, raspberries (for him)

That said, am I allowed to list such a thing with the full knowledge that he will not be able to hold onto it, or would you prefer I just stick to non-contraband items?

[returnjourney]

In this case, non-contraband only, please!

[doppleman]

Aye-aye!
