Search Requests

[yourkeepers]

Looking for a particular item within the house? Want to know what you'll come across if you search a particular area? This is where you can come to do that!

All you have to do is fill out the form below and the mods will initiate a scene with you based on whatever kind of hunt you are doing. Roleplaying in this form will be more summarized and to the point for the sake of expediency. Also, know that requests will not always be fulfilled, or may only be fulfilled if your character accomplishes certain actions within the scene.

Character: [Who is doing the searching?]
Resource: [What are they looking for?]
Method: [What is their plan of action for finding said resource? Where are they looking? You have to give specifics here, or you will likely not get the response you're hoping here. We are looking for things like 'Searching the seventh wing of the library by looking at every book' or 'Trying to bust into a new room in the Grand Hall.']

You will not be allowed to claim your character is in possession of an item until you've completed the thread in which they find it. Don't be afraid to bug the mods if it seems that we've forgotten your thread. All scenes will be made as brief as possible.

Note this is for items that are not assumed basics. Basics include things like pillows from the Lounge or curtains from the Master Bedroom. Something that is obviously already in a location doesn't need to be asked for.

Comments

[wingedapostle]

Character: Nausicaa
Resource: Any books that may give her clues as to what her strange memory means, or as to where she may be able to find the field in that memory. She thinks the field might be somewhere inside the house, so she's also got an eye out for any house plans or layout information, especially relating to the inner garden.
Method: Spending ages looking at every book in the library's fourth wing

[yourkeepers]

It will take her a couple days at least to give a decent look over the entire fourth wing, and in the process she will find the following books that she is capable of reading:

"Instructions"
Written in the Faerie tongues, this book will give over simplified, recipe-esque instructions for how to complete whatever the most pressing problem on their mind is. Generally speaking, though, the instructions are unhelpfully vague and generic.

A tree book.
Written inexplicably in her native tongue, the tree book seems to be made entirely of wood. Even the pages are only razor thin slider of tree, complete with rings. The outside is bound in bark. The contents is of carved images of various trees from (not that she realizes it) her home world. The writing is sparse descriptions of poisons, fruits, and other useful features of each species. Anyone not from her planet will not be able to read it.

"Duck Foot"
Written in the Faerie tongues, this is a 30 page picture book about a duck becoming enchanted by their own foot prints, distracting them from the goings on of daily life. Perhaps it is a metaphor? Who knows. The important thing is that once you've started reading it, it is actually impossible to put down until you've finished. Thankfully it is fairly short, all considered. This effect occurs every time you start reading it, no matter how many times you attempt it.

A note book...?
This isn't so much a book as a notebook, like one would find in an elementary student's locker. It has a bunch of notes that Nausicaa can't read (but anyone who speaks English as a first language will: they are questions and answers about an unnamed study book) with sudden scribbles and diversions in the Faerie tongues that say things like "BORED BORED BORED" and "BURN IT ALL". It is not very helpful with anything at all.

[fifty]

Character: America
Resource: ...Rooms, I suppose. He is trying to get into the locked doors in the Grand Hall.
Method: Turning into wind and trying to get through any available openings beneath the doors/above the doors/to the sides of the doors/in the doors if there are cracks in any of the doors/keyholes. Just anything that looks like air should be able to pass through really. I doubt he can check every door but he'll go at it for a good day or so with a few breaks for food, starting at the doors nearest to the open rooms and working out from there.

[yourkeepers]

The first room he will find is through a door with a set of seven large keyholes down the side. He will manage to wriggle through the largest one, which is the sixth.

He finds himself in a room so dark and large that it may not even have walls at all, the black abyss extending out into infinity. The only spot of light ahead is a kiddie sized pool of water. The water is impossibly aqua in hue, and glimmers vibrantly with an inner light. It ripples, despite there being no wind.

Behind him, he can see the light of the keyhole, but only just.

[braveyoungsuitor]

Character: Raoul de Chagny
Resource: Any books on music. Sheet music, books detailing the history of music, books about music, etc. etc.
Method: Searching every book in the library's third wing until he gets hungry/kicked out/both.

[yourkeepers]

He will find a fair deal of sheet music in musical notations he won't be able to read, although perhaps there are some that a other inhabitants of the house might understand. The ones which contain music and/or text he can understand, though, are:

A book of voices
This book's text is in a language no inhabitant of the house will be able to understand, and there is a fair deal of text, but it also contains a number of conventional Western musical scores which, when played on an instrument, wordlessly imitate the cadences of assorted conversational patterns. Anybody who hears a specific 'tune' played will speak in the accent it's imitating for a few hours afterwards.

The sheet music to John Stump's 'Faerie's Aire and Death Waltz'
You know the one. A CD is attached. Unfortunately, there are no CD players in the house, and you don't know what a CD is anyway.

Six volumes of "Violin for Beginners"
Written in the Faerie tongues, and with conventional Western musical scores. Books 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 are pretty standard basic sheet music and instructions for beginners. You could probably teach yourself the violin with these. The final book, however, titled "Violin for Beginners: The Secret Violin", will not actually open unless you are holding a violin.

"Popular Music Hall Songs"
This is a large hardback compilation, written in English, of sheet music pamphlets for Victorian music hall songs called things like When Father Papered The Parlour, A Little Bit Of Cucumber and Where Did You Get That Hat. It is clean, but anybody who picks it up and flips through it will inexplicably come away with slightly but noticeably sooty hands.

"Teach Yourself Hypnosis"
This book's cover claims all you need is a pipe, some practice and a 'good capering leg' to begin enchanting animals and small children into doing your bidding. Unfortunately (???) all of the music within is in an alien notation and cannot be deciphered.

[ironspirit]

Character: Elsword
Resource: Some kind of decently sized and fireproof fabric to make into a strap/sling for his sword body. He's seriously starting to get sick of dragging himself around everywhere. Imagine trying to carry a broadsword that's almost as tall as you are with smooth metal hands that have barely any grip to them, it is not fun.
Method: He has no fucking idea where to look, so he's just gonna try cutting off strips of random cloths/rugs/curtains/napkins??? and setting them on fire to see if they burn or not. He's trying not to cause any horrifically reckless fires, at least? But if Mason gets mad he will probably stop, at least for a little while.

He'll concentrate his efforts on the master bedroom (lots of stuff to check!! except it's the least logical place for fireproof stuff, really...) and the hearth room (maybe stuff hung close to the hearth since it's more likely to catch on fire?), with a bit of checking around the dining hall (for handling hot plates?? but who is he kidding, he's mainly here for a lunch break).

also he's looking for his sister CAN HE FIND HIS SISTER????

[yourkeepers]

He checks around - where end ends up finding a good material is in the Hearth Room. Some of the clockwork in a corner of the room is sectioned off with a thick, red curtain that, while not perfectly so, is flame resistant. If he really tries to set it on fire, it will eventually start to char and burn, but casual encounters with fire leave it relatively unscathed. It is thick and difficult to cut, but we have confidence Sword Arms will be able to pull it off.

He cannot find his sister, though he does see a few trees and one lamp post that he almost thinks are his sister.

[saylazy]

Character: Yui
Resource: Guitar or other instrument
Method: Opening doors in a methodical method, shouting guitar into each room, and promptly closing the door if there aren't any obvious hiding spots or shelves to look in. Of course if there's a closet or crawlspace she has to go inside and shut their too as she digs through all their master's stuff. She just knows there's a guitar around here somewhere!

[yourkeepers]

After many hours of searching, she finds no traces of an actual guitar! She does find a few books in the library with illustrations of them, though. It seems like there is music to go along with the illustrations, but the rest is in a language she can't read.

[grotesqueobserver]

Character: Jeff and Feferi
Resource: The Roof!
Method: They're starting in the great hall so there are plenty of stairs to try! Jeff's idea is to start climbing stairs until he gets to the top of a staircase, then look for either a roof access or more stairs. Repeat as necessary.

EDIT: Link

[yourkeepers]

Important question: how much parkour are they willing to engage in to cheat their way up?

[chromaticscale]

Character: Feferi Peixes
Resource: a dinglehopper hairbrush or comb of any sort
Method: Searching all the drawers she's ever seen as well as "logical" places for a hairbrush to be (on a dresser, or inside a personal trunk for example, but not necessarily in a bag of flour). Barring that, she will make sad fish noises and try to ask Mason if he has seen any around because her hair is getting very tangled.

[yourkeepers]

The best she'll find from searching is a comb in the Master Bedroom - unfortunately, it's so gargantuan as to be completely useless for her need.

Mason will act very awkward about it, but after some verbal roundabouts he'll eventually fess up to the fact that he's willing to help her out. After some rummaging, he will use his house powers to spit up an appropriately sized hair brush with white bristles of moderate stiffness. Its handle is a transparent, pearly substance.

He makes sure to note that "he can't promise it isn't cursed somehow you know how it is."

Upon using the brush for a while, she will note that along with organizing her hair, prolonged brushing also appears to clean it. It will do the same for dirt and other light messes on fabric as well. No matter what sort of mess she sticks it into, the bristles will always remain perfectly white.

[hand_of_courage]

Character: Link
Resource: Keys to doors in the house
Method: His ability to turn time back or forward on individual objects means he can (potentially) turn back time on the various locks until such a time that they have still have a key in them. Then take the key. He'd be looking to keep the keys in a belt pouch. Which he'll be fashioning on the night of Day 4.


EDIT: Adding on this:

Resource: Scissors and needle/sewing supplies
Method: In this thread, Link has gone from the Master Bedroom to the Kitchen and is currently looking in the Kitchen for things he can use as or turn into scissors and a needle so he can fashion those pouches and belt he wants to make for himself. And potentially other cloth or leather made things in the long term.

[yourkeepers]

I'll get to the key part ASAP (the results will be limited, but I'm still deciding what to give you) but as a quick note there is no Kitchen currently available, so there's no way for him to search that.

[igotwhatyouneed]

Character: Swindle
Resource: Money of some kind- paper or coins.
Method: Rifling through things with drawers in the hearth room and master bedroom.

[yourkeepers]

There's definitely no money in the Master Bedroom, upon examination. In the Hearth Room, however, there are a few coin-shaped pieces of metal to be found, though. Whether or not it is actually money is not really apparent.

[bakki]

Character: Daisuke Tsubaki
Resource: a ball or something otherwise round enough for him to liken to one
Method: Running a good bit of terrain (mostly outside, but maybe moving in eventually) and poking his nose wherever he thinks some roll-y thing could be hiding....

[yourkeepers]

It isn't actually too hard to find something serviceably round! There are a few species of tree in the gardens that seem to habitually grow small, round orbs that pulse with an inner light. Whether they are seeds or fruit is unclear, but they are sturdy enough, at least for now!

[subtleserenity]

Characters: Zoe Washburne, Jordan Hayes, Sollux Captor, Nausicaa, Knock Out, William Flemming, Alan of Trebond, Aisha Clan-Clan, and Asch the Bloody, Reiko Natsume.
Resource: A diary, notebook, day planner, or other written record by the Keeper of their activities.
Method: Because this is such a large group, they have broken up into smaller groups to go searching.

Zoe, Sollux, and Reiko will be searching under the bed by zigzagging across the whole of the floor looking under anything they come across and for suspicious cracks that might indicate a loose floorboard. They will also be looking up into the bedframe for anything hidden. Sollux's light will be illuminating their search, but Reiko can also see in the dark and may break off from Zoe and Sollux if she notices something.

Jordan, Alan, William, and Asch will be searching in the closet by rifling through the clothes, and climbing them to reach any high shelves in the closet. Jordan can see in the dark and Alan gives off ambient light to see sort of. Alan will also be searching for any serviceable weapons in the pockets of the clothing.

Aisha, Nausicaa, and Knock Out will be searching on/in the nightstand and any dressers. Nausicaa can fly, Aisha is a good climber, and Knock Out... can get up there. They'll be rifling through anything that looks rifle-able and checking for any hidden compartments in the drawers if possible. Nausicaa will try to get the drawers open while hovering in midflight, at least partially, and Knock Out and Aisha will push them out farther once there's enough lip on the drawer to do that.

[yourkeepers]

The results are disappointing. While there are some things to be found, none of it is what you're looking for.

The Floor and Bed: There are no suspicious cracks or openings, at least not that you can see. Upon searching under the bed things will be a little more worrisome - when left in darkness, Zoe and Reiko will see what look like multiple sets of multifaceted eyes watching them in the darkness. Unfortunately, they disappear before they can be investigated. Sollux will be unable to spot them, but his foresight will report a strong sense of ill-ease.

The Closet: The more you search the closet, the more you are certain that none of the clothes inside of it were actually intended for the Keeper to wear. None of it seems like something they'd put on, and from viewing the various sizes they come in, you feel as if the clothing here was likely used for dressing up other people. It is a mixture of men's and women's clothing. Also, you're pretty sure the clothing in here is different from the last time you looked. There are also some oversized shackles and chains tucked away, as well as some other strange objects and implements you don't understand the purpose of.

Nightstands and Dressers: There are some expected things. There is makeup, and body paint, and various kinds of jewelry. There is also a selection of various herbs and ointments in jars, though it's impossible to tell what they are for without trying them. In the other drawers...well. Those familiar with such things might recognize them as stuff that could be some kind of bizarre faerie sex toys. And a lot of stuff that could quite plausibly be something else. They are all quite oversized, due to the room proportions.


You can all make of this what you will, but as you search, as certain gun will remember something important.

[manelesscatking]

Character: Alan of Trebond
Resource: A kitchen - where there's a dining hall, there's usually a place to prepare food. Usually. The ultimate goal is to find some items that could be used as armor, or worked into a suitable equivalent.
Method: Following doors in the area of the dining hall.

[yourkeepers]

While there probably IS a kitchen, unfortunately it can't be accessed at the moment. Mason has it locked up tight.

What Jeff did on the mun's summer vacation?

[grotesqueobserver]

Character: Jeff Levitt
Resource: A broom
Method: Opening doors that look like they might lead to some kind of closet.

Also, he's looking at a possible controlled burn as a way to get rid of all the dead vines (...LOL yeah)? Naturally he's not going to just put a torch to the lot and pray. He's going to try and clear out a nice big non-combustable area (an all-marble staircase, say) and make a small bonfire in the middle. He's going to start with a small pile to make sure smoke/sparks/whatever won't be a problem.

NOTHING CAN GO WRONG WITH THIS PLAN.

Resource: Trying to figure out if the library has any sort of organization to it.
Method: He'll start with reading titles and authors on the spines to see if it's alphabetical, then start pulling groups of books down to see if they're grouped by subject. He'll be starting at the shelves closest to the door, if that makes a difference.

[yourkeepers]

At some point, Jeff gets lucky and pulls on the handle of a door that happens to open. Inside is a very small closet with a number of cleaning supplies, including a broom and a mop. This room will continue to be in this location with suspicious predictability.

As for the books, there are so many of them that are completely impossible to read that defining any sort of concrete organization is mostly hopeless. There does seem to be an area that is mostly picture books and graphic novels, though.

[flightofdeath]

Character: Voldemort aka Kissy Face
Resource: Books in the library that he can potentially read, which includes the languages: English, French, some Albanian, also probably some German.
Method: Taking his time to search through the entire library like a proper researcher. He may or may not do some double-checking as well. He'll make sure to take breaks to save his sanity, but otherwise he'll be at it.

[yourkeepers]

It will take over a week to search the entire library – each wing is large enough to take a day or two – and the books he finds will include the following:

"Arzel's Folly"
A simple illustrated rhyming story, in English, about a prince who makes a series of ill advised wishes whose text, once read, is completely impossible to forget by conventional means.

"Illustrated Atlas of Ulbydd"
Written in the Faerie tongues. A worn old atlas of a land nobody in the house will recognise.

"The Agorvell Chronicles"
A sprawling Lord Of The Rings-esque fantasy quest written in the Faerie tongues that rewrites itself immediately whenever a new person starts reading it to accommodate a character in the story named after them and who behaves roughly as they might. This character will remain in the book for every subsequent reader. There's no way of telling which characters in the text are based on people who read it in the past without knowing the people beforehand, as they are inserted seamlessly either as extra parts of the very large recurring cast, or as background characters. If the reader doesn't read all the way to the end the character named after them dies shortly after the point they stopped reading.

The "Cursed Heart" series: "Cursed Heart", "Cursed Body", and "Cursed Soul"
A torrid teen fantasy romance novel, written in the Faerie tongues, about a protagonist torn between multiple romantic partners, some of whom may or may not be romantically inclined towards one another and/or other people. Further examination of the shelf it is found on will reveal there are two more in the same series. Anybody who reads the first book all the way through will find themselves compelled not only to read the rest but also to typically fandom-esque enthusiasm, speculation and 'shipping' of the characters even if they are not usually given to this sort of behaviour – this effect is temporary and can wear off within anywhere between a couple of days and a couple of weeks.

"ERKENNTNISSE"
A book with "ERKENNTNISSE" ('findings' in German) written on its spine, but which seems to be firmly glued shut, and also firmly glued to the shelf. None of the surrounding books are in a language you can understand.

Bestiary
A bestiary full of bizarre and troubling faerie monsters, written in the faerie tongue. There is a detailed illustration for each creature, but none are named, and the description of each one is limited to one word, for example "Difficult", "Argute", "Inficete", "Orgulous", "Damp".

"Touch and Feel: Swamp"
A touch and feel board book for children in which all the textures are unpleasantly moist. Written in French.

"A Treatise on the ????? ???"
A book whose title text initially catches your eye as being in a script you can read, but when you actually try to read it, you find it escapes you, with the meaning of what's written there being just on at the edge of your mind. If you try to read the words aloud, though, you will find it's suddenly clear – or at least, mostly. You can read the book only if you speak the words as you read them, but any words that you don't already know how to pronounce are incomprehensible. It's written in Faerie, but before you start trying to read it out this isn't clear.

He will also find some of the books listed in response to other people's library search requests, but not all of them. The library is not as constant as would be ideal for a search of the whole place.

[magewarden]

Character: Daylen Amell
Resource: Information on Dreaming, Shared Dreams, something to explain what happened when he was made to sleep by the vines (and why he might dream of some kind of other place?).
Method: He'll probably spend a few hours wandering the library at first, gauging each wing for content before settling in front of the one that seems most appropriate and factual and going through the books pulling out and reading anything even loosely related. He's got time and he likes reading.

As a note, he'd probably totally make for the 8th wing if he saw it appear while he was there. He has the curiosity of a cat.

[yourkeepers]

It takes over a day of concentrated searching, but Daylen eventually finds a leather bound book in the Faerie Tongues called Beauty. Upon opening it, he falls asleep immediately.

He dreams of a sort of fable, a retelling of a classic plot. A brave warrior seeks out the prison of a beautiful woman, trapped within an enormous tree. After braving many trials and dangers, the warrior finally finds her and sets her free - only for the maiden to transform into a horrible monster and consume him. The consuming part spares none of the gory details.

Open waking, the book will be closed in his lap. Any attempt to examine the contents again will result in a reoccurance of this dream.

[ex_maelstroms207]

Character: Juushirou Ukitake & Kotetsu Kaburagi
Resource: Items of significance that may have been left behind by party-goers, guests, and even the Keeper at the lounge. Additionally, anything which might be of use in throwing a soiree of their own.
Method: While tidying up the lounge, Ukitake will meticulously rearrange the upholstery, looking for anything which may have been forgotten beneath the fixtures or their cushions. Meanwhile, Kotetsu will search the tables for compartments, hidden or otherwise, by checking for hollows in the furniture and other ornamentation.

[yourkeepers]

After search, it seem pretty clear that Mason has done a pretty good job of removing almost everything from here that he doesn't consider to be changeling safe.

Fortunately, Mason being Mason, the job isn't quite complete. You find the following:

A Collar
Brown leather which intricate patterns and sigils pressed into the material. Appears to be sized for an approximately human sized neck.

A Bottle of Mystery Liquor (?)
Clear like water, but with a rainbowy shimmer to it. It smells like alcohol.

A Silky White Sheet
While the material is soft it reflects light almost like oil. When draped over a person and whipped off dramatically, it will leave the subject wearing a seemingly random (mod generated) sexy outfit. The first one is this. Who discovers that is up to you.

[knightwinged]

Character: Raven
Resource: something on weird changeling physiology or basically something that vaguely resembles "How to Take Care of Your Hot Mess" because possessions are ridiculous what else is new
Method: skimming the library in what free time he gets in between Incidents and chasing Trouble Sword Arms all over/when Sword Arms is actually in the library, that sure does make things easier. if the brat get nosy he'd just hastily but casually reshelve whatever he's looking at or something. he'd probably leaf through some of the books in the secret room as well, just to be thorough even though he doubts anything kept in such a secret location would help much.

FOR NOW...

[yourkeepers]

The first book he'll find is one already discovered by Nausicaa, but still present in the library, which is:

"Instructions"
Written in the Faerie tongues, this book will give over simplified, recipe-esque instructions for how to complete whatever the most pressing problem on their mind is. Generally speaking, though, the instructions are unhelpfully vague and generic.

Upon opening this book it will read the following:

Items Needed

1 Hot Mess

1 tbs Compassion

2 cups Patience

1/2 cup Trust

Preparation time: Weeks to months.
Cooking time: One evening of epiphany.

1) Determine true nature of Hot Mess.
2) Care for Hot Mess's physical ails as you would their true self.
3) Emotional issues take priority. See step 1.
4) Fix what is broken.

[ironspirit]

Character: Elsword
Resource: Magic books. Magic books that he can both read and maybe even understand, with the intention of using this to work his way up to "secret dead body room books" difficulty.

Also, his sister. Always watching out for sis.

Method: Searching the library, as that is where books are normally kept, and concentrating his efforts on whatever wing seems to be the most... magical, I guess. The most educational? If it's got anything weird/magic-looking/legible on the spine or cover he'll take a peek. Or if there's like, I don't know, a badass picture of a dragon on it. Badass dragon books will be taken into consideration regardless of apparent content.

He's also gonna try and make sense of that secret room book he grabbed, of course. Maybe copy down some of the least fatal-sounding sigils and see if anything happens.

[yourkeepers]

After presumably a few days of searching, what he ends up with is this:

A Book With a Sweet Dragon On It
Specifically, a dragon breathing fire at some flying douchebag in a cape. You can't only read very small amounts of this book as it appears to be in English. Its inner pages also smell strongly of meat. One time when you opened it up, it made sparks.

A Magic Book...?
It says right on the cover, in the Faerie Tongues, that it's a magic book. The interior pages are blank, however. Maybe you should take its word for it? (This book also gives you a +1 to Mega Slash.)

"Ariel's Treasure Chest"
For a second you thought this woman was your sister, but it turned out that she was actually a mermaid. Darnit! Maybe your sister is a mermaid? There is cheap plastic jewelry and a colouring book with pencil crayons inside. While wearing the jewelry, one will find themselves able to breathe underwater.

[armedanddangerous]

Character: Ankh
Resource: Medals/coin-like objects. He's basically looking for anything that resembles this or these, but since chances are he's not going to find an exact match, he'll take anything that's similar too: coins, medallions, metallic buttons even, that sort of thing. His goal is to gather a collection/as many as he can, not just one.
Method: Rooting through the house, opening drawers, searching through closets, that sort of thing. He isn't being especially thorough, but he might look inside pots or under furniture. Basically checking all over the place, but in a pretty disorganized manner.

[yourkeepers]

Sadly, this asshole already took all the coins. What a jerk!

[nosentimentalist]

Character: Keats
Resource: Any magazine/newspaper type publications. Brochures, even. In general, any documents that aren't books.
Method: He lives in the library, so he'll definitely be checking the shelves there to see if there's anything remotely like that, probably opening any book that looks thick enough and seeing if there might be some documents stuck in the pages. He'll also check desks around the place. Occasionally he'll wander through the house and rifle through drawers in places such as the bedroom, but not that much, since he doesn't entirely think he'll find anything there.

[yourkeepers]

There are a lot of things that appear to be newpapers and magazines, but much fewer in any language he can read. He does, however, find the following.

"There's a little bit of Hershey in all of us."
Some manner of brochure. After reading the entirety of this pamphlet, you suddenly discover that an a tinfoil wrapped Hershey's Kiss chocolate has appeared in your mouth. This happens every time.

"Apple Cabin Foods"
A series of grocery fliers. Every single one is scratch and sniff. Even the ones you don't want to be. It goes on for 30 issues.

[heirred]

Character: Mituna
Resource: Grappling Hook
Method: More determined then Yui. He doesn't have anything else to do so he is just going to be searching the whole house. Under the bed, opening random doors if he can in the grand hall, lifting up every thing in the house in existence to see if there's a secret button underneath. If he finds and weapons that aren't people (currently) that would be cool too.

[yourkeepers]

Tragically there is nothing resembling a grappling hook in the available area!

[subtleserenity]

Character: Zoe, Raven, and Ukitake
Resource: The ghost Jordan and co. released in the Gardens.
Method: Searching around where Zoe last encountered it by the pond, then having Raven search from the air and direct Zoe and Ukitake when he sees suspicious movements.

EDITED to add an additional search on the evening of Day 14.
Character: Zoe
Resource: Keys to the doors in the Grand Hall.
Method: Spending the evening searching through the pockets of the clothes in the Keeper's bedroom.

[yourkeepers]

The ghost seems to be making itself scarce, at least in a visible sense. While you hunt, you will not see hide nor hair of it - but you will hear it scream. Its shrieking comes most often from the thicker trees near the back of the gardens. The darker it is when you hunt, the more and closer by you'll hear it. Sadly, it seems to be keeping its distance.

There doesn't seem to be any keys in any of the pockets in the bedroom, except for just one. It is the keys to the giant handcuffs located in the dresser. Whoops.

[magewarden]

Character: Daylen Amell
Resource: Clues about what his dreams/visions/memories might mean. A note, a book, letter, list, or anything that might provide a semblance of insight.
Method:
Brimstone suggested to him that they themselves may have been stolen, told him about the note, so he's going to go picking around drawers and things in the master bedroom before stealing his nerves and making a search of the Hearth Room -- looking for something secret The Keeper might have left behind that might help him understand.

[yourkeepers]

Anything left behind by the Keeper doesn't seem to just be sitting around. There were notes in the secret chamber, but they have since been taken. Daylen's search for answers seems destined to be more complicated than just looking.

[sageprincess]

Character: Zelda
Resource: Maps! Atlases! Globes! Anything that might hint towards what's outside of the walls of the house (or where the house even is)
Method: She will pick three wings of the library at random, given there doesn't seem to be much organization anyway (mods can randomize this should it matter), and then spend a few days combing through each wing, searching for things she is able to read that might be relevant to her search.

ADDENDUM

[sageprincess]

After "reviving" (or getting her soul put back into her body, however you want to put it), this oracle will be looking for ways to defend herself. For ~some reason~ she has a natural inclination towards magic, sooo...

Resource: Spellbooks, in particular ones that have to do with defense, casting wards, creating barriers, etc
Method: Once again picking three wings of the library and searching through each for a few days, using her enhanced sight to make quick work of things.

[subtleserenity]

Characters: Reiko, Clover, Alan(na), Jeff, Sollux, Nausicaa, Keats, Aradia, Link, Jordan, Zoe, Mituna, Elsword, Saber, Feferi, Raven, Ankh, and Zhosma.
Resource: Access to the outside, a study where the Keeper would keep more of his work, and Mason's spirit form, specifically. More broadly, anything behind Door Number 1 through 1,000,000,000.
Method: Checking the doors in the Great Hall. Because there are many characters, Zoe has suggested that people pair up and search groups of doors to divide and conquer whilst using different strategies. The strategies are listed below along with the characters engaging in them. Nausicaa, specifically, will also be checking the ledge and cubbyhole Feferi and Jeff identified during their attempt to get to the roof.

Strategy 1: Find the 'Right' Door (Characters using skills or talents to identify the best doors to go after for the Brute Force It and Whisper Sweet Nothings strategies.)
- Reiko (book sense)
- Clover (sense of smell)
- Alan(na) (weapons sense)
- Jeff (knowledge of the doors after living in the Great Hall and excellent eyesight to find secret doors)
- Sollux (second sight sense-y thing)

Strategy 2: Are Any of Them Conveniently Unlocked? (Characters just checking if any doors are actually already open; these will likely be some of the quicker characters and they will check more doors than most.)
- Nausicaa (also checking the ledge and cubby hole Feferi and Jeff found during their Roofquest)
- Keats
- Aradia
- Link (also checking in on the empty white room he found the key for)
- Raven
- Ankh

Strategy 3: Brute Force It (Characters trying to force unyielding doors with raw strength or other talents.)
- Jordan (hydra form plus venom to poison Mason)
- Zoe (find doors with handles and try to break the lock by slamming the butt of her rifle down on the handles; alternatively, just shoot the gorram things)
- Mituna (rotting wood)
- Elsword (flaming metal fists (and swords) of fury!)
- Saber (another sword!)

Strategy 4: Whisper Sweet Nothings (Characters trying to sweet talk the doors and house into letting them in.)
- Feferi (hypnotic voice talents)
- Zhosma (furriendly chatter!)
