WELCOME TO FOODLAND

   

As the central hub of food and supplies, Foodland is one of the few resources available to the inhabitants of the Box. It currently restocks at an unknown point of time by unknown persons, known as the Gophers. While the Gophers don't come often, they bring with them useful tools for survival and maybe even a trinket or two from home.


All you have to do is ask.

Certain resources aren't as easy to come by as others and need to be requested (such as weapons + ammunition, large tools + explosives, vehicles + bikes, laptops + computers, and cigarettes). Staples such as cigarettes, lighters, and water bottles may not be listed in specific stock but can still be requested from Foodland. You can also request for your character to find items from your characters homes or pasts, and we'll let you know when the Gophers bring them to the Box.

Don't be intimidated by this post. MAKE USE OF IT. It is here to help you, not hurt you.

IC RESOURCES

   
While characters can choose to rely on Foodland and looting, there are times when the gophers have not restocked and certain things are only available through trade. We heavily encourage in-character trading and alternative access to resources, as it enriches the game and is a great way to build new CR!

Click here to browse the list of IC businesses. If you would like to add your own business, fill out the form below and reply to the list.

Location: Be specific Characters Involved: Any who might be a part of the operation/post Link to Stock Post: Yes you need one! Brief Description: Are you a drug supplier? Trading post? Clinic? What sort of place is this, how do trades work, how is it advertised?

RETURN

To make a trade request, fill out this form:

<b>Item requested</b>: <b>Location of search</b>: <b>If claiming a vehicle, proof of claim thread</b>: <b>Is this item a former possession</b>: <b>Other Comments/Questions</b>:

Remember that a request is just that, a request. Due to the harsh nature of the Box, no request is guaranteed and even ones granted may come with a catch of some sort. The same goes for requesting plot tidbits, items from home, or big ticket items. If your character has received something juicy in the recent past, they may not necessarily find something as exciting every time. Bear this in mind!

Another note: For the sake of our mod team and speedy responses to requests, please try to limit your lists to a manageable size. You're welcome to write a longer list, but bear in mind that your character will not receive everything if the list is over 10 items.

List them out just so we know. We might have you handwave once we know what subjects, but there also might be something Interesting and Unusual™ to be found.

[text2speech]

Sounds good! Cooper will be looking for/picking up books on:

- Wilderness survival (esp in cold conditions)/camping
- Worst-case scenario books (do they have these terrifying ones perchance?)
- Farming/gardening
- Home repair
- Preserving/canning foods
- Disaster fiction, if available

pretend this is ~boxmods okay

[unmakes]

- Wilderness survival - all granted, all normal, although a few pages have been torn out. Other pages make references (like 'see image on opposite page') that make it safe to assume someone ripped the pages out for the step-by-step diagrams etc.
- They most definitely have those Worst Case Scenario books! However, these aren't to be trusted. These have additional entries for things people may or may not have encountered in Box (like subdermal vines), and worse yet: while the pictures depict a happy ending, the instructions almost always lead to an overly elaborate 'you made a solid attempt but ultimately died horribly' scenario.
- Farming/gardening - all granted, all normal.
- Home repair - ditto.
- Preserving/canning foods - ditto-ditto.
- Disaster fiction - definitely available. In fact, it seems like this library has an unusually prolific collection. Nothing recognizable as fiction from back home, but a number of the disasters depicted seem more than a little familiar... As if the book were written from the perspective of someone else experiencing the same disasters as Box residents, but 10 or 50 or 100 miles off.
