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.

SUBMISSIONS.

[returnjourney]

If you'd like an item from home, respond here! Please note that the mods may not RNG all items, depending on player involvement and if something is deemed setting-breaking. If you have any preferences, please mark what your character would like most.

Items must be specific/personal to the character and removing it from the world shouldn't cause any issues — basically, nothing plot important. And remember: inmates can't have anything that would be considered contraband.

Ellie's guitar from home (it is a normal guitar that works normally).
No Pun Intended: Volume Too is a book of puns for children that Ellie owns.

Re: SUBMISSIONS.

[lessandmorethanhuman]

I would like to submit the following items. Sadly most of these are headcanon as his canon doesn't give him much really.
-Childhood Photo of Alex and Dana before Alex moved out.
-Gentek Labcoat (Embroidered with Dr. Alex Mercer on the pocket)
-Alex's notes from Gentek, working on the virus.
-Dana's laptop with all her findings from the unraveling of the conspiracy until she gets kidnapped. (This last one is canon, but isn't very important once Dana gets kidnapped in game.)

[shiftedshape]

-Thor's Arena Helmet
-I mean...it didn't work in the TVA, right?
-Frigga's sword
-One of Odin's eyepatches
-One of the pieces from Mjolnir after it shattered

[oinks]

• Billy the Puppet, tiny handmade tricycle not included (or yes included up to you)
• A bit of blackmail addressed to Amanda Young, written by Mark Hoffman
• Black robe with red lining, standard Jigsaw apprentice chic
• One big weird looking key on a simple chain. It's for unlocking the shotgun collar, and is completely useless
• Pig mask. Made of latex. Has lanky black fake hair coming off of it. Looks yuck

Of all of these she'd probably like the robe or the key the most and would truly truly hate to get the puppet :) just so you know

[theartofmadness]

Either optioneee:
- Letter from Molly (will give details to whoever gets it)
- Photo of his mom

[sanctus_dei]

- an old and worn steamer trunk. There is a name artfully engraved on the lid that someone tried to scratch out with a knife, but it's still readable: J. E. Grayson, III.
- a cat collar and tag. The metal name tag has been stamped by hand and reads "ARI"
- dog tags with the name and info of Gregory Crawford

[omniavincit]

I'm gonna throw a bunch of shit at you, no real preferences!

- a black hat
- a white hat
- a huge knife
- a pair of dusty cowboy boots
- pics of his daughter! I'll go into more detail if you use this, but she's currently 11, blonde, and cute
- hair loss shampoo (for men)

[expectaspectre]

Just the one item that really matters:
Grace's corkboard: a 1.5 foot square, wood-framed pushpin-covered collage corkboard arranged with photos, ticket stubs, keychains, trinkets, and other tiny mementos from happy times with her friends that is normally mounted on the wall in her bedroom.

[spanning]

– a long, thin spike in a scabbard; the hilt and guard make it look deceptively like a japanese sword until it's drawn
– a bound stack of letters, all written in japanese; the envelopes indicate they're between two people with the surname 姫野
– a photo of three japanese people ages 15-20ish; yes, the girl has horns (but aki isn't smiling)
– a photo of a couple dozen japanese people (mostly early 20s), arranged in neat rows and dressed in matching suits

spike gets priority bc of aki's reaction and maybe shenanigans, but anything else is gravy. full disclosure that the spike has powers, but they're fucking useless in game outside of general spikiness bc they rely on aki's lifespan (laughably short) and a connection to a specific devil

[smugreport]

(Will update with photos when I’m at a computer)

-Rhys’s former, decommissioned arm. It’ll still have a piece of shrapnel lodged in it and frayed wires coming out the shoulder socket, evidence of how it was last removed.

-A pair of novelty Hyperion brand socks! These come with a picture of handsome jack’s on the top of the foot that stretches the image in hilarious unintended ways when worn. Unfortunately someone else on this ship also shares this face so that should be fun.

A smattering of options; I'm not angling for them all! Misty would enjoy the music related things + jars/salves the most but I've no real ooc preference.

— Her radio/cassette player.
— Cassette: any ol best of fleetwood mac deal
— Cassette: The Wall
— Red and black gown, with veil. Could or could not include a plain ritual knife.
— Jar(s) with mystery concoctions or raw organic material (dried plant matter, moss, bark, seeds, alligator shit, you do you)
— picture of her parents (OR JUST dad)....rip
— Cheap, purple butterfly sunglasses

[rank1]

- A VHS cassette of a pro wrestling match featuring Thunder Ryu's 7th match.
- A small pillow featuring an anime character's breasts in a red bikini top.
- A figurine of a woman wearing a Doc Ock-style harness/rig with six arms with lightsabers on the ends.
- An ultrasound of a pregnancy with twins.
- A Nintendo Wii.
- A surreptitiously filmed video of Travis fighting a man in a grey suit; he kills the man.
- A pair of Sylvia's panties (I'm somewhat joking on this one but look: this is Travis Touchdown, I am contractually obligated to type it.)

[n0ught]

• A hand-held detonator switch for a bomb that has already been used I promise this is simply sentimental

[counterstep]

· bucky's dog tags
· a black, lined journal filled with random notes about people bucky has encountered since being undusted, many pronouns abbreviated to initials. it's 3/4 filled and written in different pens and pencils. most of it is vague as hell and unidentifiable, but hey it's free paper?

[doppleman]

- A futuristic-looking pocket watch. The time it tells does not align with any known local time.
- A dartboard that features a hand-drawn, rather ghastly depiction of Handsome Jack.
- A small photograph of a somewhat plain-looking young man, approximately 17 or 18 years old, with ginger-blond hair, freckles, and a timid smile.
