ITEM REQUESTS.
ITEM REQUESTS
torches currently in use
Once delivered and sorted at the beginning of each month, most of your basic supplies and necessities can be found in Beacon's shops, but maybe you're looking for something more specific. For that, characters will have to input their request (or have someone input it for them) at the machinery in Dr. Solis' lab. Please keep in mind that it is currently impossible to get specific brand items and/or items from your character's canon. You're welcome to try, but are likely to receive a generic alternative option instead.
Any items requested will arrive along with new characters on the first of each month - though they may sometimes be slightly different than expected. This technology is experimental and difficult to learn, after all! Based on the current state of repairs and the number of people helping out with lab equipment, the items received may vary in some unexpected ways. If your character would like to help out at the lab, simply have them sign up here. This is not required in order to request items!
The "deadline" for item requests is the last day of the month, since the intro logs are always posted on the first of the month. If you submit an item request after the intro log is posted, that item request won't be fulfilled until the following intro log. We don't allow backdated item requests, sorry!
You can also request to take pieces of the bonfire via Clara, the new Bonfire Bot. The only light in Beacon comes from your lanterns, your tablets, and the night sky, but the town does have a finite source of fire in the form of a massive bonfire in Bonfire Square. By finite, we mean that the bonfire has "units of fire" that will be depleted as characters borrow from it.
- 1 unit of bonfire = 1 torch. A torch's worth of fire is enough to light a single room, though that torch can be split into smaller fires (candles, for example) to illuminate an entire building. For example, to light up the three buildings in Bonfire Square, characters would need to borrow 3 torches. Each character will probably want to acquire a torch to light up their living quarters, as well.
- Torches can be allocated however you like. Want to permanently light major locations? Great idea! Want to take a torch or two on an expedition? Awesome! Want to set up a line of torches along a particular path to make getting around town easier? Have at it! Bonfire requests will need to be "vetted" by the Bot (i.e. the mods), but all requests will be accepted within reason. The Bot won't give you 30 torches to throw in the river, for example.
- But be careful: Any torches lost will be permanently gone until they're recovered. If you lose a torch because you die on an expedition, that torch will not be re-added to the bonfire total until it is physically retrieved and returned by a player. The only exception to this is if a character drops the GPSL after having taken torches for personal use (i.e. lighting their living quarters). The Keeper will recover those torches personally.
- Good news: Torches cannot be extinguished. They can be lost, but they'll never go out, even if you yeet them into the lake (but, like, don't? someone still has to go get it). The bonfire will always exist somewhere, even if it's split into all its pieces.
- The bonfire will grow as the plot progresses and new locations are discovered. The point being that the bonfire is a finite resource, yes, but it's still a resource—don't be afraid to use what you have! Be responsible, but don't be shy about taking torches for a good cause. The bonfire will continue to burn, though maybe a little less brightly, until the number of torches hits zero.
- Be sure to let us know when you're returning a torch! All torches taken by players, even for explorations, need to be returned to the bonfire via a post here, whether it be as a new thread or an addendum to your original thread. We'll never assume that a player has returned a torch unless they've dropped the game.
- Torches taken by dropped characters will sometimes be automatically returned to the bonfire. If a dropped character's torch was used in an exploration or if it was placed inside of their residence, some helpful forest spirits will find the torch and return it. If a dropped character permanently placed a torch around town somewhere, though, that torch will be left alone, though other characters may move that torch around or return it if they'd like! Just make sure to report that to this page so we know where the torch is.
- On that note, anyone can move torches placed by another character! We ask that you be respectful about this OOCly (don't go swiping torches without player permission, for example), but players are always welcome to rearrange torches, especially those placed by dropped characters.
Before putting in a special request for an item, check this list to see if you could reasonably find it in town! Note that even if what you're looking for isn't specifically listed, if it fits within the limitations listed on the sheet, go ahead and assume it's in the stores somewhere. If you're unsure, feel free to put in a specialty request, and we'll let you know if it's something we currently have in town.
