Occasionally mods will be allowing a set number of characters to schedule an involved conversation with a mod regarding the discovery of something in game, as announced on the OOC community or on a mod log. Characters who have signed up for the option will be selected via RNG (with preference given to characters who have not yet had a thread like this), and the thread will be conducted on this page.
You can see a sample thread in the comments below, but in essence, this thread is meant to mimic the conversation a tabletop player might have with their DM. The mod will establish the setting, and you may describe your character's actions and decisions. The mod will respond with reactions and any particular consequences, and the mod and player will move throughout the scenario together, until all questions are satisfied and all actions are taken.
After this informational thread is complete, it's assumed that anything learned within is now common knowledge for the rest of the game. You're still welcome to thread out discussion or discovery of this ICly, but if you'd like to skip ahead to any fallout or follow-up action, that's also fine.
As a note, these threads do not have to be limited to one character in the scene. For the ease of moving threads along quickly, we ask that one player take the reins in terms of writing out the actions of all characters involved in the scene. We have a channel reserved in the Discord channel limited to current thread participants to facilitate OOC discussion of who's doing what for this purpose.
His foot thuds against something solid and unmoving that isn't part of the wall. It seems to be a heavy metal handle set into the ground below the water.
With enough effort (lift with your legs, Zaphod, not your back!), it will slowly come open — quicker, as water and sediment finally shifts off of the trap door set into the bottom of the sewer. Water cascades down, but it's designed to flow around the small latched metal box set into the bottom of this depression. It's about six inches on all sides, and just barely illuminated by the sparks in the wall.
Inside the box is a hard drive and a folded piece of paper. The hard drive looks damaged, but could probably be set to rights with a bit of repair work. The paper is a little soggy, but that's all that can be seen in this dim lighting.
It is, just barely. It looks like a love letter, written to someone being left behind. It mentions the hard drive, and writes that the recipient "might find this useful". It isn't very long or descriptive, and the rest of it is sentimental poetry. It's signed "your enduring love-flame forever."
It's beautiful. He's so touched. He stuffs it into a pocket and will stand there and shout until someone up above hears him and dangles down a rope for him, or something.
Good luck, Zaphod. If you have no further questions, then please link an example of this information being dispersed or otherwise used within a week of today!
