REQUESTS

Upon arrival, the Witch took everything your character had, name included, and stored it away. That sucks. But you can get it back.

Possessions, like your character's clothing or phone, can be gotten back simply through hard work and currying favour. That's right, you have to do a little ass-kissing. Go the extra mile in your work and make sure everyone knows and you're bound to get noticed. Then, just mention when the Witch is around that you'd really love to have your [insert item here] back and it will appear in your character's futon the next day. Only one item can be gained back at a time, so choose carefully.

For remembering a character's real name, it's a little trickier. To recall their name, a debtor must have been in play for at least one month. Second, something must trigger the memory of their name. They can't simply have an epiphany, and this doesn't immediately clear them of their debt. But once they have it back, it's best not to share that information outside of close friends, and definitely don't tell the Witch. Names are power. Save it.

If you don't? Well, don't worry about it.

Or maybe you'd like to confront her directly? This post may also be used to schedule a meeting with the Witch herself. This can be done by any character, but naturally she'll be more willing to take time out of her workday to meet with workers established for a month or more. This could be done in any variety of ways, from going through a stack of paperwork or sending her a letter (proper!), to just storming in her office at the right time (...). And, of course, depending on her mood and workload, she might just curse you for bothering her...

Er. Well, take a look at these forms instead.

To request an item or name, fill out the below form:

<b>Item or Name?</b>: If it's an item, list it. If it's a name, tell us the name! <b>Achievements</b>: What has your character done to earn back this item? You can describe or link a thread if you want. <b>Trigger Event</b>: If requesting a name. Please explain why the trigger would work and link the appropriate thread.

Exploration-based requests work a little differently:

<b>Area of search</b>: Garbage bins at that restaurant by the museum? A garden greenhouse? A farmland stable? The forest? <b>Time of search</b>: Morning, midday, night, etc. Did you go back and look over and over over a week? <b>Item</b>: Looking for something specific, or just trying to steal a hoe?

And finally, to request a meeting with the Witch:

<b>Method of request</b>: Did you fill out 10 pages of paperwork? Send a letter? Knock on her office door? Barge into her office? <b>Time of request</b>: Morning, midday, night, etc. When did you send off your paperwork? When did you come to visit?
Don't worry; you don't need to ask us for everything. Little things can easily be handwaved - but who knows what fun you might get out of a request?

Method of request: Knocking on the door
Time of request: Evening

Item or Name?: A way to use the bulletin boards
Achievements: Not necessarily earning it back, but he's asking for it since he feels it would help him. He's worked diligently for a year and recently found the item requested of him for the gardens (though I think I forgot to log it).
