AREN'T YOU A BUNDLE OF JOY --- open, weekly tasks - capt. salem - 09-16-2019 LIES A THOUSAND HORRIFYING MEMORIES | | |
People were bored around here, huh? Well Salem had one thing to say to them, and those words would be figured out as soon as they were spilling out of his mouth. Probably shouldn't have hosted that one-man wine tasting earlier, whoops.
"Alright, get over here you useless bullwackers." He wasn't quite sure what bullwacker meant, but it sounded like an insult. "I've got a list of chores, and I know none of you have anything better to do." But wait, the abrasive and generally rowdy people of the Badlands might need a bit more of an incentive to work. He figured he wasn't coherent enough to beat anybody up, and he'd promised Cat he wouldn't demean everybody too much. "Whoever does the best at their task gets this shiny... Uh, cat I found in a dumpster. She's real hissy, but she'll probably be soft after I give her a bath." Salem said, holding up the dented cat carrier full of one pure black, angry streetcat currently hissing and spitting up a storm. "Alright, now look through this list and cross off what you're going to do. I'm gonna wonder why the sun is so bright today." Okay, hi guys! I'm hosting weekly tasks this week, and I'm trying out a bit of a different format this time to see if people like or dislike it, so let me know your opinions on how to make it better or if I should go back to the regular format. So this week I have a list of tasks, which you can post and claim with your character immediately. Once the thread about your character doing the task is up, it'll be a race to see who's task thread gets the most replies by next Monday. The person who's thread got the most replies by Monday wins the cat! Or optionally, your character could decline the prize and the cat'll go to the next runner-up. If this format turns out to be successful, look forward to more varied prizes and tasks in the future! But again, please give me your opinions on this; whether it be in an OOC portion of a post on this thread, or through a pm. Critiques, advice and ideas are always welcome! [spoiler=Tasks]—Put together a team to loot a local strip-mall for winter clothes —Clean and/or renovate an abandoned house so it's usable for new recruits —Spend a few days training your aim with a firearm —Clean the casino —Learn three new facts about someone who's been in the Badlands less than two months —Host a public cookout for the arrival of autumn —Spend a night bar-tending at the casino —Tend to the horses at the stable; clean the stalls or take one for a ride —Host a karaoke night, with snacks —Non-lethally spar with someone —Find and give nicknames to as many birds as possible —Stand in a creek for as long as possible without explaining yourself First-come first-serve for all of these prompts! And please try to not take more than one per character.

. . This seemed like a masterclass in delegation. Salem was going to get other people to do shit, and they didn't even have to ask him to do it? The plan was going to just kick back and make sure no one fucked anything up. Unlikely, sure, but if they really wanted they were pretty sure it wouldn't be that hard to find something to complain about. What the fuck was up with the cat, though? Seriously, did he think that was going to motivate anyone? "Salem, I need to ask you something, and I hope you don't take this the wrong way but... what the fug?" They stared at the feline for a few seconds, then turned their pale blue gaze to the Officer. While waiting for him to reply, they made their way over to the list, not expecting to see anything that jumped out at them... Oh, go to the mall? Great. "I'll do the mall one." What could they say? They liked the mall, they liked poking around for stuff to take. They'd take an excuse to go loot around there some more, totally.

Oh yes, definitely a masterclass in delegation; he had been a ship's captain for over a decade, he knew his stuff even when he was a bit tipsy. He smiled warmly at Cat and Tinny as they approached, unsurprised at Cat's question.
"What? Did you not think I was a fucking- animal activist, or whatever?" Salem exclaimed jokingly. "I'm a right Doctor Doolittle over here." He added, for yet more comedic affect. Cat selected the mall task, and Tinny selected the creek task Salem may have only put in for the kid. What? It seemed like something Tinny would enjoy. "Alright, I'll cross these off for you both. Now hop to it, I have the utmost faith in your fashion sense and your ability to do weird things shamelessly."

. . "Oh yeah, me too. That cat wants to be literally anywhere else." They pointed to the cat in the carrier, then turned away to leave. "I'm going to remember that the next time you say something about my clothes." Alright, time to figure out a patrol to go to the mall. This should be good.
