Medical supplies mission

[devilsfruitdoctor]

So, a few days ago Ibin made a post requesting volunteers for a medical supplies run. If you'd like to be in on it, just let me know here or there! Along the way, someone suggested we go back and game the system in order to have enough funds to purchase whatever we want. While that sounds fun, I'm under the impression we're probably going to make pretty heavy use of that tactic in the actual assaults on the UE, so I'm leaning a little more towards making this a (somewhat quicker) sneak-and-grab. I'm happy to pull financial shenanigans if that's what people want to do, though. If anyone who wants to be in on this mission has a preference, just comment on it.

Ibin's been looking through history for a suitably medically advanced and prosperous time and place, where the theft of various things hopefully won't cause too much suffering. I'm open to ideas, but right now I'm leaning towards 2050s Boston, which, lord willing and the creek don't rise, hopefully fits the bill. (Mass Gen is Harvard's hospital, that's always going to have funding, ri-ight? 8| )

I have a few things going on this weekend, so I'm going to use the weekend to wrap up this network post and the list-making thread, request the mission on Sunday, and put up the log when I get approval, probably Monday.

Mass Gen is very nice, when my uncle was there I somehow wound up with like a box full of syringes (with no needles) and we don't know why.

Feferi would like to go though! Even though I don't feel like changing journals. She can hold a lot of stuff in her sylladex if need be. (Waterproof things only, though...)

[devilsfruitdoctor]

What I'm hearing is 'we go in pretending to be relatives and hope for goodie bags.' (I do hope your uncle's ok though!)

Will put Feferi on the list! Actual transportation capacity, what an idea, pretty sure Ibin's just going to go in with a sack x.x;;

Oh yeah did I mention it was like 15 years ago and I was 11 or 12 at the time. Just saying.

THE WONDERS OF GAME MECHANICS.

HMMM, Zelos would come on the mission like he said, but I can't see him going along with a stealing plan (he's got weird but firm morals man). So more likely he'll probably wander off on his own, and rejoin the group a day or two later with 10-20k dollars cash, a pile of girl's phone numbers, a few meal odds and ends like a sushi platter or a casserole - and a single raw potato.

Because yeah canonly, he's considered to be so handsome and/or charming that NPC women will give him stuff like money, battle items and uh...random food items like a potato when he talks to them. Because, why not.

[outshine]

I would give him a potato if I had one, ngl.

[wilder]

Ikr? Instead of saying I love you or asking him out, some girls will give him a potato which means "I'd do you faster than it takes to make a delicious potato dish".

And I find that beautiful.

[devilsfruitdoctor]

Zelos if you VOLUNTARILY go ahead with that plan that is not covered under your workman's comp XD;; But are we allowed to spend it on vaccines, that's the real question!

[wilder]

SHHHHH DETAILS!! And I don't see why not! They can spend the money however they want. Vaccines, supplies, healing hookers, w/e

[devilsfruitdoctor]

Awesome. The more I think about it, the more I think this will be way more effective anyway, because while running into a hospital, grabbing a ton of gauze and bandages and running back out is vaguely within the realm of possibility, doing the same with a whole bunch of vaccines, flu shots, and antibiotics is less so. So we'll set you to buy up all the high-security stuff and we'll go on a mad stealing spree for the lower value stuff.

btw no one's gonna point out to Ibin that one very effective way to keep us all healthy and not placing undue strain on our medical system is to stock up on condoms, eh

[wilder]

Okay that sounds good with me! Money shall go to all the high security stuff :>

AND MY GOD IBIN WHY ARE YOU MAKING THEM RUN OUT OF CONDOMS- oh lbr it's not like many will get any with a 4 person bedroom

[devilsfruitdoctor]

HE'S NOT, HE'S REALLY NOT IT'S JUST WE'RE A BUNCH OF PEOPLE CRAMMED INTO TIGHT QUARTERS IN A HIGH-STRESS SITUATION AND i'll just shut up now

[wilder]

IBIN IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE DOING IN YOUR FREE TIME TO DESTRESS YOU CAN TELL US...

Sign Charlie here up for it! She's... not very fond of stealing - she is a detective, she upholds the law! - but it isn't Paris so she'll probably be more willing to do what they have to do to get the supplies.

Also, supply run experience is always good; she can't stand sitting around waiting for other people to get things if it's in her power to, uh, get them herself.

[devilsfruitdoctor]

(NO I'M NOT HERE TO CORRUPT THE YOUTH!)

That's ok, it's looking like we have enough people to split into scruples and non-scruples groups. You can go with the guy who's getting money for vaccines honestly! By, uh, selling his body.

(who am i kidding oh god)

[rematching]

Oh, perfect, Charlie needs more redhaired idiots to be friends with -- nono I mean that's great, sincerely fff.
