Full Version: In the Adder's Nest, beneath a bench... (CLOSED)

(As promised since there were no other replies the journal has been found by Milton and given to Oskar. If you wish to still participate feel free but the journal is now in his hands. Thanks for reading.)

In the headquarters of the Order of the Twin Adder sits a row of benches against the fall wall on the upper level. Beneath the bench nearest to the railing a small brown burlap satchel rests. When opening this bag the following contents are found:

* A few gil coins, one or two have some deep scratches in them though they otherwise appear to be like any other ordinary bits of gil pieces.
* Two potions, one has been sealed, the other is partially consumed.
*A small spherical object, a forest green in color. Closer inspection reveals it to be a linkpearl of some sort.
* A somewhat worn journal made of aldgoat leather dyed a forest green and silver trim along the edge. The binding and cover has a few dents, scrapes in it over the countless summers of use. The pages inside are written with a steady hand though the penmanship tends to be on the sloppy side.

If one were to look at the first page of the journal several odd sketches litter the page along with the owner's writing. At the bottom is a name, "Mihana".


OOC INFORMATION
Spoiler: show

This has been listed on the lodestone under my blog and can be found here. If responding please post a comment there on my blog. Responses can be posted here too, but posting it on the blog where I can check it more easily is preferred. Thanks. :3

I'm sorry if this isn't in the correct area, it's not really a sever-wide event but a 1-on-1 type RP thing (More if whoever finds the journal involves others.) just open to anyone who wants to join in. While I don't really have an exact date yet when I'm closing this, the first 10 entries on my lodestone post will probably be it. To be fair, I'll do a /random in-game based on the order of the entries listed, and the number of people who apply. If more than one person wants to team up with somebody else to find the journal (IE you find it but give it to somebody else with you.) that's fine too. So again, please post a response there than here if responding ICly.

The Lowdown: On February 19th Mihana had fallen asleep on the bench in the Adder's Nest located in Gridania. The officials had moved the sleeping Miqo'te from the location to a different room in the nest but not without accidentally leaving behind a satchel containing the personal journal belonging to Mihana. Currently she hasn't come to realize it's missing and by now it should have been found by someone. But who? This was before Everwatch's scheduled training exercises so from that point on it could have been found and taken. In order to try broadening my RP perspectives I'm leaving it open as to anyone who has visited the area can claim finding the satchel and its contents including the journal. You're free to do as you please with it and the contents.

But there is a rule to this.

* The journal can not be destroyed. You can drop it, kick it, drool on the pages, cause a little damage to it (Preferred that you don't do any of that.) but please refrain from deciding to torch it, throw it into an abyss, feed it to a friendly raptor or give it to a certain band of Opo-Opo in a certain place. The goal is to get this back to Mihana as without the journal how can I post more entries? Destroying it or tearing out pages would have to be reflected in my entries on the lodestone and I'd prefer not to delete all of my entries or rewrite them so please, don't destroy or deface it? Thank you.

That's it, one way or another the journal should eventually get back to her and should remain intact within reason. How it gets back to her/what you do after finding it is entirely up to you! If you want to join in please post a response in the lodestone comments of my entry in an IC format saying how you came across the satchel and its contents. The linkpearl inside is a direct link to Mihana so you'll have a way to contact her. Thanks and hope to see what happens! Mihana's gonna flip when she does discover her journal is missing...
This is awesome. More people should do stuff like this.
Thanks Oskar, and to reply what you wrote on the comments there: Doesn't really need to be plausible reason for someone coming across the satchel and its contents. Anything works, just as long as there's explanation how they came to possess the satchel and journal, it's kind of like an opening introduction to the whole thing. Maybe someone visited the area and found it lying there, it could have been before, it could have even been after. Anyway, Mihana would be well known in the Adder's Nest as well. She's earned the rank of Serpent Sergeant Third Class (I kind of hate that it's gotten so easily but meh.) so her name is known there. I'm hoping a few more people step in within the next few days. If nobody else chimes in by Wednesday I'll just go with Oskar finding it.

While I really would like to just let anyone and everyone join beyond the intial stage of who finds in the problem with that is the journal contains very personal information dear to her so she'd be trying her hardest once it's found to minimize just how many people see it. Doesn't mean somebody else can't really get involved, RP could take a turn that someone else learns about it. It's only that I'm trying an attempt at RPing outside of the usual circle of people I know. That's the entire purpose of why I put this together, somebody finds the journal, it starts a reason for Mihana to interact with somebody besides those she knows. Be it good/bad, contact is at least a good thing regardless. Where it turns after that is solely depending on the individual, they've got a key into the personal thoughts behind her and a means to get past her attitude if used properly.

Return it, never read it. Earn her respect perhaps and things could go differently. Be a snoop, try to trick her with the information you know and return the journal. Use it as fodder to get something you want and have a little revenge or just be a huge arse because you feel like it. All goes once the journal's in your hands.
