The Next Night OOC

OOC: ITEM DELIVERY

The deliveries arrive scattered throughout town as they sometimes do, but the deep cold blanketing Beacon adds an extra layer of challenge to their retrieval. The falling snow quickly threatens to bury the supplies entirely, and if you don't get out soon, you might find yourself hunting for frozen food under the snow all month long. Some of this stuff may not do well if frozen, either - who really wants to deal with mushy lettuce?

Remember, the more people who help out at Solis' labs with deliveries and other tasks, the better these systems function!

To request special items from home through Weaver, either use the item requests page, and/or chat with her here or at her inbox. These requests can be made at any time and do not have to coincide with a monthly delivery schedule.

The following items can be found:

• The monthly store restock, including the usual amounts of food, tools, and other basic supplies. These arrive on February 1 in the condition described above.


• On February 2, Weaver requests that you all help the spirits help chip the ice off her submarine and get it un-stuck from where it's embedded in the lake at the edge of the pier. She returns the next day with 30 rounds each of candy jackets in varying calibers for Pudding.

OOC: ITEM DELIVERY

The loss of a handful more people and the sense that ever more dangerous threats are present all around Beacon may have somewhat shaken the people who try to operate the lab equipment this month, but that never stops them from trying to make sure everyone has what they need. When everything arrives in town on the first of November, it manages to all remain around Bonfire Square, easily retrievable. However, everything is coated with a fine, persistent layer of gray dust and smells of ozone and ash. Did this come from some alien warzone, or ancient buried ruins? Or did something go wrong in transportation? At least the food seems edible, and the clothing only has a small amount of permanent staining.

As always, the more people who help out at Solis' labs with deliveries and other tasks, the better these systems function!

The following items can be found:

• The monthly store restock, which is a little sparser than usual this time. Oh, there will be enough food and drink - and in fact for some strange reason there's an overabundance of root vegetables and winter squash, as well as a lot of candles which will never actually manage to light here - but general supplies and warm winter clothing and fabric are scarcer than perhaps they ought to be. And it is starting to get chilly, especially with no afternoon sun to warm things back up. Time to get creative when it comes to keeping warm, and think ahead before winter really hits hard.


• An unexpected addition to the usual supplies comes in the form of cheap, brightly colored sporting equipment. Ever wanted to teach your friends badminton, or have a water balloon fight? It seems like the discount section of someplace trying to get rid of all its summer toys got drawn in by the portal. Have fun!

As a reminder, we will not have an intro log, but the current TDM can be found here! You are always welcome to make your own logs for item retrieval if you feel inspired to do so, or otherwise thread out these interactions on the TDM if you like!

Additionally the bonus for full AC (5 log comments or 10 network/TDM) is changing for the next few months as we come into a holiday-heavy season. For November, December, and January, if you meet the above full AC, you may choose to either earn an explore token, or to claim a pass token. Pass tokens will allow you to pass AC for one month even if you do not have any comments. Using a pass token also counts toward one of the two months needed to clear a strike. Unlike explore tokens, these do not expire.

Thank you, and we hope this helps in the upcoming holiday season!
