PLAYER PROJECTS

Has your character started a club or a cult? Are they working on a compendium of the forest spirits? Or maybe you're just looking for something for your character to get involved in. Well, you've come to the right place!

This is where we keep track of the various character-led businesses, groups, services, and other such endeavors. Unlike a player plot, this is a long-standing IC project that other characters can choose to engage with, rather than a one-time occurrence.

A WALL FOR THE REMEMBERED • ELDEN

Elden like everyone is definitely not happy he's dead. Moreover the fact of the people he left behind. So, to at least help cope and move past the grieving stage, he's going to go in the town hall and start setting up a wall for people to put the names and pictures of those they loved and miss on it. The names/pictures of the people don't have to be dead, it's literally for those we miss, living or dead.

Something like this in terms of idea. Specifically it'll look like a big painted tree that people can pin their pictures and names to and underneath the branches.

LOG BOOKS • ELDEN & WANDA

Elden has suggested and plans to leave a log book in the inn and town hall. This way everyone in game can collect information and put it into a communal book so they have everything on hand. Elden and Wanda will be working on this together. The log book doc can be found here!

BOAT BUILDING • ROSINANTE

After inheriting this project from the original islanders who started it, Rosinante has decided to indefinitely postpone any further efforts toward this construction project. One raft and two dories remain as remnants of earlier progress.

LUTECE LABS • ROSALIND

A one-story enormous room, filled with lab tables, beakers, and other such scientific equipment. Experiments ranging from the worrying to the bizarre to the beautiful crowd the tables as the sounds of gears and hissing acids fill the air. There's an enormous machine placed farther back, although it's half-hidden by all the other things.

EXPLORER'S APP • WANDA

Wanda is working with Will and others to create an app for the tablets that would help keep track of exploration efforts. This app would functionally look like another map, but with markers displayed on explored locations, last known locations of current exploration teams, and projects related to exploration. Touching these markers will display when the exploration was done, who was present, and what they discovered, if anything. Touching unexplored areas would display a list of those planning to explore there and what supplies they believe will be needed.

STAR MAP • ROSINANTE

In case of lost compasses plus just for added navigation utility, Rosinante has been (and will continue to be) photographing the sky periodically when it's clear, and trying to keep track of individual stars' movements across the sky. He's no astronomer and this is nothing fancy but he's hoping that over the coming months he'll be able to identify at least a star or two that seems more or less stable in some particular compass direction, as well as a few key stars or star clusters or maybe even some simple constellations that can be used to track the passage of time. Eventually he'll be looking for someone who actually knows astronomy (and might rope in Will once he has enough to go on, we'll see) to figure out what it all means but for now he's really just documenting it all as best he can in photos as well as paper and ink.

NEWCOMER MESSAGE • RIKU

Riku is working with Will on an app that launches when a new username is registered on a tablet. This is a living document of sorts, constantly updated with contributions from others around Beacon. This message includes visuals (the first version has sketches and photographs, later iterations will include improvements like paintings), English subtitles, and a voice over by Aziraphale.

The first edition has been completed in time for the next round of arrivals and can be seen here.

COMMUNITY GARDEN(S) • MISTY

In the name of being a little less cripplingly dependent on the ferry (and improving morale - nature and a productive hobby are good for the brain!), Misty'd like to get a couple plots cleared and sowed with little batches of staple crops, herbs, flowers, as you do. Additionally, there's a stretch goal of a tiny greenhouse or three because Winter Is Coming.

It would be within known and populated areas on the map (around town, Misty will probably shoehorn as much on her block/behind her house as she can manage), although I wouldn't rule out Misty meeting discovery of other places - given unique soil or lighting conditions and especially if anyone takes up residence there - with 'slap a garden on it'. Maintained by volunteers, with a few presumed regulars.

COMBAT TRAINING & FIRST AID • JAVERT

In an effort to prevent further casualities, and to make everyone better prepared, Javert has begun to offer combat training and first aid lessons. Unless it interfers with an in-character event, combat training will meet every Wednesday and Friday at the village gymnasium, and run from seven o'clock to nine o'clock in the evening. The focus will be on armed and unarmed combat, no magic. First aid lessons will follow immediately after.

In addition to learning how to treat injuries, students will also put together first aid kits, which will be distributed around town and handed out to anyone going out on an expedition. Javert will ask that people save any unwanted or torn clothing so that it can be broken down and used for bandages.

APPLIED LINGUISTICS ON FOREST SPIRITS' LANGUAGE • DAYLIGHT

Since December 04 2019, Daylight has decided he'll undertake the task of seriously tackling and studying the forest spirits' language. The end goal is to create a more comprehensive guide on the forest spirits' language and to also translate their melodies to several more musical instruments to offer more variety on how one speaks to the spirits.

He'll be doing this by using the lessons he learned from his grandmother, who was a famous professor in the fields of linguistics and communications and cryptology + his own talent in music. Along with actual practical application by practicing on poor spirits willing to hear him stumble over his words, ranging from the Greatest Crooners to Fluffy Flower Friend and to Postmaster General when they have the time. He'll also be roping others into helping him from time to time for certain tasks. It'll take a couple of months before Day makes significant enough progress to share with others but he's determined to push through with this project and bridge the communication gap he and the others have with their fellow residents.

SORA AND MISTY'S B&B & EMT • MISTY, SORA, BUCKY, HANA

Sora has decided that the cabin next to the bonfire needs a fresh start after its inhabitants slowly vanished over the course of January. Since he lives at the Landmark, he's wrangled Misty into spearheading a hostel meant for newcomers and persons needing temporary housing alike! It's a five bedroom cabin at the moment, but future plans include making at least two of the rooms into two bed accommodations and constructing an onsite kitchenette so they can stay in at least for breakfast (thus the B&B). Residency is free, but those who are able are welcome to volunteer themselves to do laundry, cooking, cleaning, and other day to day chores to keep the hostel running until they leave. If no one needs temporary housing, they'll clean up and close up shop until the next ferry comes in. People are welcome to contact either Sora or Misty directly to ask if there's housing available!

The B&B's purpose is to make sure ferry arrivals don't feel completely lost or homeless when they get off the ferry! In addition, should an arrival need medical care, Sora and Bucky are capable and strong enough to handle first aid and triage to the B&B and Misty can provide more thorough healing once they arrive.

Thanks very much for this! Your project has been added, so please let us know if you would like to update the details in the future. Also, we'll add this to our monthly intro log so that new players can find it easily. :)
