Well, sort of random. It's been a while, but L-mun reminded me that I needed to do a big updated for damned_maps.

For those of you who don't know, damned_maps is a navigable version of the full-sized maps provided by the mods, broken up into more screen-friendly chunks and paired with room descriptions, also provided by the mods.

It's not complete yet, and I will do a full sweep of the descriptions for updates when I have time in a couple of weeks, but here are the areas that have updated descriptions:

First Floor Main Hall, 1-East & etc
Second Floor, East
Second Floor, South
Second Floor, Southwest
Second Floor, North: Chapel

If anyone notices any discrepancies, please let me know! I'd really appreciate it.

Sam and Dean are about to pop into the grocery store. Hence, questions. DX;;

1) does the store have any magazines and/or booze OR IS IT FAIRLY FAMILY FRIENDLY? I believe Dean wants to pretend to be a drunk.

2) lighters are located at the front of the counter where lighters are usually kept, Y/N? what about matches?

3) I'm assuming the store's like most local small-town grocery stores, so just aisles of pasta and rice and. IDK, KRAFT DINNER? Would there be shelves of chocolate/candy bars near the counter/lottery tickets? Would stuff have any particular brand names (like, Coke orr a Twix or stuff like that) or would it all be unlabelled?

4) does the store have those tiny TV box-like security cams or would it be completely technology-less?

5) FINALLY, UH. I AM AWARE this sounds like a retarded question, but since I'm also assuming there's a fridge and things for milk/dairy products, um--since Doyleton seems to have that thing about not having any specific dates, I'm curious about how their expiry dates are. >_>;; would there just not be any expiry dates at all? <-- THIS IS IMPORTANT I SWEAR. .___.;;


THAT'S ALL I THINK. Thank you modly types. SORRY FOR BOTHERING WITH SO MANY QUESTIONS AFJAFA:LJFA. *runs*

Okay, so my slow-posting seems to have turned into a hiatus. Sorry about that!! I'm usually not one to flake out like this. DX Anyway, a lot of the stuff that was going on this week has finished up, which means I'll likely be free to post sometime this evening Japan time (which I guess would be Friday morning for folks in America). I'll try to do it sooner if I can.

Therapy Hallway people -- It looks like everyone but Obi-Wan and Tsubaki have cleared out, and no one has exited from their therapy rooms, right? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Entry Room people -- sorry for holding the .hack crew up. I already told Serey to just go ahead and skip me, but, like I said, I'll get to posting soon so I won't hold up Kibitoshin and Dahlia anymore than I already have.

Court and Callie -- Guy and Claude are still waiting for Dias, right?

Pretty sure I owe someone a room description, although I think I should probably remind people to try to submit them to this post here in the future. That way, I'll get them in my inbox, and it'll be much easier for me to get to them. ♥

Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience!!

Just wondering, but could we please get more descriptions of caverns and/or maps? We're kind of trapped right now as it is

damned_maps has been updated! Here is a list of updates (that I can remember); some updates were done today, some probably over a month ago. (The updates page is mostly for my own reference, honest...)

Note: The Master List of Maps/Links and Welcome Pages have been reposted, although the older versions still exist.

As always, tell me if you see any errors or know of updates to room descriptions/maps that I've missed!

Also, uhm. Tag for House. 8D

Heeey mods and/or people who are more knowledgeable than I.

I've been looking for descriptions of the chapel and found an old dayshift description, but can't seem to find anything about the newer nightshift additions. Looking at other people's posts, I hear there's a statue and a fountain, but... I don't know what they actually look like, or if there's anything else noteworthy. :B Any help?

I should have announced this sooner, but I have finally finished my pet project:

I present to you damned_maps.

This account will hopefully reduce the number of tabs/windows people have open every nightshift (per character). You can look at smaller (corrected) versions of the large maps, or use the navigation links to focus on specific map sections with room descriptions, level nap key, other information all on the same page. Starting on the Surrounding Area map allows access to every other map from a top-down prospective. Navigation links simulate character prospective and reflect the directions a character can travel (you can even go up/down different levels of a location from within this perspective).

A mighty thank you to the mods for giving me permission to do this, and to my awesome beta testers who helped me iron out quite a few "bugs". (And if you want me to change which journal you want credited, OR IF I WAS HORRIBLE AND FORGOT YOU, lemme know. Also, I credited character journals by default out of privacy concerns.)

If you see anything that isn't quite right, or have additional ideas on how to make the maps better, lemme know! (I'm already thinking about replacing "No Exit" with better descriptions.) This will be an ongoing project as additional maps and descriptions are created. For special events, I may provide additional links on related map sections. Not sure how much time I'll have for that, yet.

Enjoy!

Sorry for my slow posting this week. School just started, and I've had a lot of things to focus on since Monday. Hopefully once I've ironed out my schedule and settled into the swing of things, I'll be more consistent.

For people who still need room descrips: I know nightshift's probably almost over, but if you're needing some help, drop me a line here or something? I'm kind of behind on checking my friends list, and I'm not sure if I've missed anyone or what.

also it's like past 2 am and I've got class tomorrow oh geez DDD:

Anyway, yes! Thanks for your understanding. ♥

Hey guys, does anyone have any kind of a description for the patient possessions room, or any information regarding it?

IE: Description, and what to do when you get there. ~_~ Thanks.

Jansen: I'm sorry if this is bothersome or if you've posted it before. Would it be possible to get a description of the pharmacy, please? :x

Also, sorry to both you and Fam that the response for Crane is taking so long. D:

Okay, guys! Here's the deal.

Contrary to popular belief, I do have some of the second floor room descriptions ready. 8D;; Since there are a crap ton of rooms to do, I figure it's best to start with places that people actually need. I also think people need a place to use as reference instead of having to ask to see a description that's already been done. Hence...

Room Description Request!

Need to know what a room looks like, or want to see the description for a second floor room that's already been done? This is the place for you! :D Just comment with the room(s) you need, and I'll try to get back to you as soon as possible.

Please note that all of the room descriptions found on here have been mod approved.

( The rooms so far! )

Thanks for your patience! If you have any questions, let me know.

Alright, in case anyone is planning on traversing through the SunRoom tonight, I thought I should throw up a few things that tell about what Daemon is like at his full capacity, and some of the things he might throw at your characters, since he's wrecking havoc there as the SC-er.

You can find a listing of some of his abilities that he might use here in his journal if you're not familiar with him or his canon, or feel free to drop me a comment here or in my email at chaneystarr@gmail.com and I'll do my best to answer any questions about him or what he's up to. XD

Okay, everyone! So here's the deal.

I've got SOME of the room descriptions for the second floor written already. Note that when I say some, I really mean...not that many. I have the whole list here for when various rooms get updated. Please note that all of the descriptions on here have been mod-approved.

Instead of clogging up the lounge with requests for various descriptions, I'm going to suggest people comment here if they need a particular room.

ALSO, VERY, VERY IMPORTANT: Is there ANYONE willing to help me out with all of this? It was hard for me to take care of descriptions last nightshift because I was in the middle of leaving the country for a year. Now that I'm settled, things will be a LITTLE easier, except I'm still dealing with financial issues and school work and whatnot, not to mention my other RP obligations, so doing all of this alone is going to be really, really difficult. So, PLEASE, if there's anyone who can volunteer to help out, I would love you forever and ever. ;A;


( Look here :3 )

Thanks!

Since there have been a slew of questions regarding the furniture in the patients rooms, here are some handy visual aides and descriptions!

The beds are standard mental home metal frame beds. Durable, with springless mattresses and plain white bedclothes.

( Picture Reference )

The chairs are sturdy, durable plastic desk chairs with cushions. Nothing fancy, but not uncomfortable or crappy or anything.

( Picture Reference )

The closets have plastic hooks for hanging clothes, since that's another often-asked question. No hangers, as hangers are dangerous to mental home patients. There is a wooden bar for hangers, but it's unused.

I HOPE THAT HELPS! :D

Well, it looks like the Head Doctor insisted on letting you guys (and more importantly, your characters) know where the special event is going to happen. XD; SO the CHAPEL IT IS!

Anyway, I figured I should give a description of it before you guys ran on in. XD;

The Chapel is pretty big and intricate, and the insides seem to be made of marble and stone--fancy stuff, basically. The pews are the long, wooden kind you'd probably find in a pretty traditional church, and a red carpet rolls down to the podium in the center aisle between them. The podium itself is wooden and elevated by a few steps as it would be in, again, a pretty traditional church. And... yes! There is an organ! The pipes are at the back of the church, on the second level, which can be reached from a wooden flight of stairs and has a wooden railing around it; the organ-player could sit up there, but isn't at the moment and... stuff.

The weird thing about the church, though, is that there aren't any crosses, any bibles, any depictions of Jesus, nothing. The stained glass windows on the right and left walls, as well as behind the podium, are intricate and colorful, but don't have any actual depictions within them---they just seem to be visually-appealing, abstract designs. Basically, it's weird--it's almost like a secular church, if that makes any sense.

Um. Yeah. 8D That's it!
