March Trading Post

Hello, everyone! This is Casey, player of Edward Elric and Chip Abaroa, bringing the monthly trading post back tot he game! I haven't been keeping on top of this mostly because...well, updating that supplies and mapping bit was next to impossible with my work schedule. So I've dropped that part of these posts out, and instead I've placed down a comment for player-maintained establishments as well as for trading and offered services, search parties, and community projects! There are lots of exciting things that players have been working hard on, and lacking a place to easily direct attention to them seems to have been a bit of a problem.

Hopefully going forward I will ACTUALLY be able to keep this a regular monthly thing, especially considering our lovely mods gave me a nice tag for it and everything. uwu Please leave comments below for trading, search party organizing, project recruiting, and anything else you can think of! And feel free to let me know if you have suggestions for what else could be done here!

Character: Ren [personal profile] catpiper
Inventory: SOME GARBAGE+ A MULTI-TOOL+ROPE Someone take this give her a rock for it.
Services: Can make flower crowns? Excellent hidey hole seeker? Useless but can help with simple tasks if your character needs someone to like hold nails or water plants. She has lots of energy to burn and is super eager to help others. Put her to work.

RESTAURANT/EATIN PLACE AT H5

[personal profile] postictal 2018-03-02 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
SO the ruined buildings at H5 include a mess hall, which Tim has been spending several months trying to patch up into something suitable for people to eat and meet up in. He saw a pretty big slow in progress after the event in January, and spent most of February recovering.

He hasn't been super obvious about it since progress has been so slow, but if you're interested in contributing in some fashion let me know!!!

SHE GONNA BE A WAITRESS AGAIN.

Also she has a lot of pooled favors she could contribute for various means.

Including probably a mana pool so they can get to this place more easily? And some fortification/infrastructure because I notice this area is surrounded by swamp

YEAH those would definitely be handy. Right now Tim has been outsourcing lumber from the monkey compound (read: taking whatever he can from the palisades and surrounding trees and lumber supplies lol) and basically getting by with nails and a hatchet. iirc there's a quarry with stone somewhere though that might be on one of the as of now submerged islands...

He also recently got some sealant/wood protection varnish as an item req so that'll keep the wood from rotting and shit

MONKEY COMPOUND TRAP HELL

[personal profile] yourattention 2018-03-02 06:44 am (UTC)(link)
Connor . . . has weird reactions to the idea that his space is being encroached on. By which I mean people other than him live in the monkey compound and he hates it, thanks, so he's converted the space around his house into a trap hell. There's nets that will sweep you up. There's Even More Stake Pit. There's trip wires that will fucking throw arrows at you.

It looks like a goddamn Home Alone movie. Please don't try to get into his house. Alternately: do and then ask him how he did any of it. He needs a better hobby than freaking out about someone potentially getting into his house.

. . . oh, he also has torches in front of his house that are sometimes lit at night because January Fucked Him Up.

And he lives near Jullien... who hasn't managed to booby trap his house that much yet, but trust me, he wants to. The thought of these two being so close together is scary.

Island Walmart / The Store (tm)

[personal profile] hellawrath 2018-03-02 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
The store is set up pretty much every day in the temple ruins. The elves have a spread of their regular wares there, but a lot of their work is special-order with the use of the Fabricate spell. There's a trading post here with a list of available and potential stuff.

I think it's fine to handwave the trading of regular goods with food or other raw materials without needing to comment there. But if you want them to magic up something in particular, we'd prefer if you contact us just so we can make sure it's something the elves can/would actually produce! And to make sure they're getting compensated for it properly, natch. This isn't a pony farm.

This month's purchases come with complimentary wooden ducks!! I mean maybe, I'm not Magnus' mom!!

pony......farm.............

anyway i looked at this last night and had a thought, SHOULD the elfstablishment still be in the ruins? it could be somewhere else now. does anyone care WHERE it is
hellawrath: (fashion baby)

[personal profile] hellawrath 2018-03-02 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
life isn't a pony farm!! you know this one.

they don't wanna carry their shit to the islets and there's not really any other buildings yet, what would they do when it rains? maybe if we ever get an actual... town... they could move.

also everybody knows where the temple is and newbies end up there quickly, i think it makes sense to stay there. and the storyteller is cool with it.

Cough From Hell (tm) plus New Job (also tm) have whacked my tagging drive into the ground but Tataru is literally gonna tell Taako about bein' a one-stop-shop seamstress in her next tag so would it be safe to say negotiations/possible team up is in the works soonish? Maybe?
hellawrath: (resplendent)

[personal profile] hellawrath 2018-03-03 11:36 am (UTC)(link)
That would be great! They wouldn't be in direct competition with each other (the elves have made simple special-order garments out of a single raw material before, but it would be very expensive so not a lot of people have probably used that service) so I think the elves would be open to supplying her with stuff in exchange for clothes! They could also sell her clothes in the store and give her the proceeds.

Are there specific supplies or tools she might ask for?

Also Lup has a rad winter coat that got shredded by a shadow monster, she would absolutely pay Tataru for fixing that some time, lmao.

Vegetables and...... misc...... at D8

[personal profile] ichininyaanshi 2018-03-02 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Our resident doge goddess has gone the full mile in clearing out the previously ruined Monkey Compound and even starting a vegetable patch within D8. Various veggies are growing here, as well as a few herbs: mainly catnip and St. John's Wort.

There's also... uh... marijuana growing directly behind Ichimatsu's own monkey nest, which he isn't aggressively defending other than kinda hiding it away from the rest of the plants.

Ichimatsu's made a notice about it on the community rock recently, so for anyone who checks it regularly, it should be fair knowledge that there's food growing here if characters want to come by and farm. Lord knows he's not really gonna do it.

Sorry about the traps everywhere.
