directrice | [the suggestion box]

THE SUGGESTION BOX:

On Day 1, the suggestion box rules were unlocked! Note that these rules are for OOC REFERENCE ONLY, and you will have to have your character figure them out ICly some way or another! If it helps, Akira has posted an IC version of these rules on the box for characters to read (courtesy of LWJ). But I'll enumerate on them OOCly for you:

1) The suggestion box will not take multiple requests at a time! If you write down more than one, it will yell at you :(

2) You can request one item at a time from the suggestion box! This item can be anything, such as an item from home (a weapon, a trinket, an article of clothing), or even something you didn't have at home (like medicine, sunglasses, whatever). You can request an item once an OOC month, starting on the 1st and ending to the last day of said month. There's a size limit on items, though: the box won't give you anything that is bigger than like. . . a person. So no cars or motorcycles or the like!

3) Not all suggestions will be granted! I reserve the right to throw rocks at your character instead. I'm sorry in advance.

4) Bigger setting changes (I'll let you guess what that means) will need more than one character making the suggestion for them to be implemented. To make this easy OOCly, you can have one character make the initial suggestion and then just have a bunch of people +1-ing it for my purposes. How many people are needed to implement bigger setting changes? About ten or so! Once a suggestion is made and processed, I as a mod wil add it to the setting whenever we have a bit of lull time ICly. I won't be giving you buildings every week, for instance! I may wait a few weeks between setting updates depending on how busy we are. It all depends!

5) I reserve the right to change the rules of the suggestion box if I get so many requests that I start dying, sweats. But I don't foresee this being an issue, so!!

Now that the rules have been unlocked, you do not have to comment to the suggestion box to get your monthly items from home/small items! In fact, I'd 100% prefer you not comment and that you just handwave your character got them somehow. However you are free to keep commenting with other suggestions for funsies b/c the box still has some fun little features! And ofc, if your character got their monthly item and is trying again, please also comment so I can give you a SPECIAL SURPRISE that is not a rock I promise. Maybe.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

please comment here for all suggestions for february, 2022!

I would like to request a copy of my files from home.

If necessary, I could provide the part of my suit that normally stores and projects such information for you to place it into. A stick of data is also tolerable.

[ He's gently tapping the back of his wrist against the box like "this part, right here". ]

Thanks for the helpful indicator.

The box will return the favor by spitting said files into the suit.

Just confirming something. If I were to write a letter to someone outside of this place, would it be delivered?

[already expecting the "no" response but y'know.]

A BELATED REPLY FROM ME, BUT SINCE THIS IS BEFORE IC BOX HIATUS, there's a sense of confusion.

And then a note.

????????

spiders

living spiders

The box spits out ten spiders.

They probably instantly scatter.

Requesting a private reading room/mini-library for Kraken! Really comfy seats or bean bags or whatever to sit in, a couple of writing desks, enough room for our giant snake man to settle without taking over the room, and at least a few bookshelves where we can keep books borrowed from the library or when we get our own.

Oh, and something for heat! Like a fireplace or heaters or just heated carpet.

And a mini kitchenette for drinks and snacks!

Yes!!!!!!!!

I agree!

Fireplace!!

Please?

[on...let's say day 24 before everything explodes, Wei Wuxian deposits a page of skeleton rabbit doodles and a page of idle landscape drawings of various locations around the little village in the box with his request.

May I ask for a qiankun pouch?]

The box spits out the bag!

Also, Wei Wuxian will get a glowing feeling of happiness.

I would like my Toxicroak, please.

In her Pokeball, if possible. But if I must choose one, the Pokemon herself.

Thank you for your assistance.

Well, since he asked so nicely.

The box spits out a Pokéball, containing his Toxicroak.

A bag of forest essence.

[This is a minor healing item from his universe. Will give anyone who takes it increased regeneration for the next few hours/restore stamina.]

The box could have just spat out a bag of pine needles and moss but it will behave. Enjoy your bag of forest essence!

Brewing stand.

[ a stand used to create potions. he is going to need to separately request fuel for it and potion ingredients, it'll be a while yet until he can make anything without aid. ]

Edited 2022-02-17 04:16 (UTC)

Sure, the box spits out just the stand.

Hello, may we have a communal nest for the Cerberus living room? We had a temporary arrangement of pillows and blankets around the couch, but that is difficult to maintain and has a messy appearance.

If the nest could also include a heater, that would be much appreciated.

Thank you.

[BASICALLY: A CONVERSATION PIT]

Good day. I would like to place a request for an upgrade to Yatagarasu's dormitory, starting with a laboratory.

I have enclosed of equipment that could come with it, and additional requests may be added by other members. However, it is perfectly doable to accumulate these things through other means as well.

- funnels and bottles
- beakers
- a heat source (burner), with a stand to hold containers over
- test tubes
- thermometer
- droppers
- scale
- a water source (perhaps a sink)
- microscopes
- UV lamp
- safety equipment

[for what it's worth, even if I don't comment about it, every day Lan Wangji is in Reverie he diligently puts at least one sketch of specifically his own bunny from Wei Wuxian into the box. it was a promise, okay.

at some point on day 25 before things went down, he tucked two Chariot cards in along with his drawing, plus a request:

A-Zhe, I hope you are well. I beg your help in this. My previous requests are still reserved for those who gave me gifts, but I would also request two more items:
- The clothing preferred by Wei Ying in our own world, of highest make and quality.
- A fine tea set for the Young Madam Jin, to remind her of home.

Is there anything you would wish to give?]
