Momento Mori

Good afternoon ladies and gentlethems. Today I want to talk to you about THE MORGUE!

Shocking, I know.

Specifically, about the concept we’re set up around Memento Mori with our morgue. Leaving offerings for the dead- reminders of those who’ve passed, and tokens to encourage those not yet gone forever to return home has become a hallmark of the Bravado morgue since before it was Bravado. Not only does this allow for a somber level of roleplay surrounding death, but it also allows the space to feel more connected to the characters that make Bravado live and breath. 

That isn’t just a random scarf that staff hung up in the rafters above the altar, its a scarf that belonged to your characters best friend, a reminder of a person who passed that you cared deeply about. 

All that is to say, its fun for RP, and it makes the morgue space look really fucking cool. 

One of the truths of world during the virtual events is that some of our props did not survive. Specifically, several of the morgue boxes developed a bad case of mildew, and many of these memento mori rotted away (which feels rather apropos, in a way) or just had to be tossed completely. 

This is where you come in. We would like to restore the morgue space to its former angsty glory. We are offering CAPs for anyone who can donate a memento mori item to the morgue decor. Please donate knowing that your prop might not find its way back to you, as is the nature of all props in a shared space. 

But Heather, what kinds of things should I donate?

  • Small items that are mementos for the dead... Specific people, or non. They don’t have to be people who have died in Bravado. They don’t have to be representative of LCs (but can be)... If you don’t have a specific character in mind, it can be for a denizen of the San Saba, left by their grieving family. Or donate something that represents a dead loved one in your backstory! 

  • Ideally, smaller than 1x1 sq foot, or flat, for easy packing and decoration. Think, that Tinkers favorite wrench, rather than their favorite engine.

  • 10 CAPs per item, Give items to Heather H. If you just leave it on the altar in play, that's fine, but I won’t know to give you CAPs! So hunt me down. (Aesa note: May the odds be in your favor!)

  • Be creative- there is a lot of space for things in the morgue -- items that go on the altar, hang from the rafters, etc. 

  • We are more looking for these items of grief and remembrance, not so much things like limbs, decapitated heads, or other “horror” decor. Those props, ironically, were the ones that survived the grave mold-palooza. 

  • Please make sure its genre. These are items that are left in the elements at the morgue day in and day out. They shouldn’t be pristine. 

  • If you aren’t sure if an item is appropriate, message Heather H!

  • We will cut this off at a certain point, because we only have so much storage, but we will let you know when we hit that point. 

Thank you all so much in helping us make our shared spaces awesome!
