TEAM DAQUIRI

After that strange Retrospec post, you may be wondering how to contact this "technician". Luckily, your phone or whatever device you have handy to check the network chooses that exact second to go haywire... Team Daquiri roster: Baren Kumou, Bucky Barnes, Futaba Sakura, Hitori Togusa, Iwatooshi, Izuku MIdoriya, John Steinbeck, Koutarou Takamura, Lalli Hotakainen, Mikleo, Yu Narukami. On whatever device you use to view the retrospec application, you may note the following scrolling on the screen instead of the usual options: ALERT: CRITICAL TIME-SPACE ANOMALY ACTIVE. SEARCHING FOR ADMIN... SEARCHING FOR ADMIN... DESIGNATED ADMIN CANDIDATE: EMPLOYEE #91962 M. MAHONEY PLEASE INPUT AUTHORIZATION CODE. The prompt does not seem to be for you, however, as the text prompts continue to scroll, this time with some input. > ********************** ACCEPT ADMIN STATUS Y/N? > y DESIGNATE PROGRAM TO RUN. PLEASE BE ADVISED WE ARE SYSTEM CRITICAL. > run subroutine designation echolocation-alpha CONFIRMED. EMPLOYEES ACTIVE IN AREA: 2 > list employees EMPLOYEES ACTIVE: M. FITZWILLIAM LEVEL 0 ACCESS, INTERN M. MAHONEY FULL SYSTEM ACCESS, ADMIN > search for alternative assets CONFIRMED. SENDING ALTERNATIVE ASSET LIST. Names scroll by on the screen. and look, there goes yours! It seems like someone is manually picking and choosing from a list of every Retrospec user who didn't disappear into the void, and several names queue up. > initialize support team CONFIRMED. TEAM DESIGNATION? > daquiri CONFIRMED. TEAM DAQUIRI MISSION PARAMETERS? PLEASE BE ADVISED SYSTEM ENERGY LEVELS ARE CRITICALLY LOW. > make contact with sysadmin > contact point entrance 1 > temporary access level 1 granted CONFIRMED. MISSION PARAMETERS SET. TEMPORARY ACCESS LEVEL 1 GRANTED. The screen clears itself, and instead of the familiar retrospec logo, there is simply TEAM DAQUIRI as a designation. the application will refuse to show anything other than a map, with one point highlighted in red. it is, of course, up to team members to decide whether or not they approach the access point. Team Daquiri's access point is in the Retrospec Basement. Team members will find they can access the Retrospec building and utilize the elevator to reach the Basement level so long as they approach it in a group of two or more team members. Only Team Daquiri team members can enter the Retrospec building at all at this time. Please see the Objective 1 toplevel for more information on what they can see when they enter the door! This is the Team Daquiri Event Log. You are free to toplevel and thread as you choose on this log, but only team members may utilize this log. Important links to mod toplevels are: Mod Questions & Participation Reporting. Please be aware you are responsible for reporting your own participation & objective completion efforts with links; the moderators will try to keep up with threads, but as we are currently running several teams with participation, we require you to keep us up to date! Please read each of the toplevels and instructions! The schedule for Team Daquiri is as follows: WEEK 1: Objective 1; CLEAR: Maurice; Miss Gracie WEEK 2: Objective 2; IC mission briefing; CLEAR: J. Wiseman WEEK 3: Objective 3; IC mission briefing 24th: Objective 3 closes (8PM EST), Final city-wide log posted (9PM EST) Objectives will be given in mod toplevels to this post with instructions; please check the log currently for Objective 1 to see how this will work. NPC interactions will be rnged from your team roster once per week, and toplevels for those will also be posted, although all team members can hear/see these interactions!

THE DANCING QUEEN

[recollecters]

[ while they can visit the stunning miss gracie in the disco lounge (assuming they follow the disco map), miss gracie will be added to team daquiri's retrospec contacts and they can text or call her as needed. she may not be able to give out plot details and while she may respond to some small talk some may be dropped as mod tag workloads demand.

miss gracie being a resource has been unlocked for week 2 as a result of the secondary objective being met. she will respond to objective-relevant things always, but may not respond to other things if there isn't time, though she will if there is! ]

low importance: You have been invited to LFXIV!

[lalliho]

You've got an invitation!

Hey, have you tried LAST FANTASY XIV?
It has a great story, amazing graphics, and the combat is fun and fast-paced.
We've been looking for a game we can play together, and I think this could be it!

Getting Started
Use the following link to review the beginner's guide for LAST FANTASY XIV, which contains instructions for installing and registering the game on your preferred platform.

[recollecters]

Oh, how nice! Could I make a character with cat ears??

[lalliho]

[i can't believe miss gracie's a furry]

yes

[recollecters]

Do any of the other young men play? Or Miss Futaba?

[lalliho]

[uhhh he doesn't actually...know... He'll find a link to the RETROSPECters Free Company's page on the Lodestone and set it over so she can see...character names, at least. Maybe she'll be able to make some kind of connection he can't? Through robo powers???]

[recollecters]

:O!! Do you think I'd be allowed to join this?

[ let her into the guild ]

[frostythehitman]

[ James takes one look at the disco map and immediately decides yeah, no, fuck that. why bother with that mess when he can just TEXT HER. ]

So, Gracie. You know the ins and outs of this place, right? Maurice said there's an armory in here somewhere, think you could open that for us?

[recollecters]

Of course, dear! It should be open now. Please remember to return everything when you're finished!

[ room 4 is now unlocked! the armory has a number of bins. not all are unlocked, but those that are have enough high tech diving suits and breathing gear and gun/javelin combos for all. ]

[frostythehitman]

[ well that was easy! He goes in and does a cursory check of the room and returns to his message with Gracie a few minutes later. ]

Hey, some of these bins are still locked. Can you open those up too?

[recollecters]

I opened the ones Mr. Fitzwilliam indicated would be useful! :) Some of the things in there could level the city. Is there something in particular you would find more useful, dear?

[frostythehitman]

[ hOLY SHIT ]

Depends--what's still locked in there specifically?

Other than the city-levelling ones. Why does Retrospec even have those?

[recollecters]

Oh, mostly just in case something capable of leveling a city needs to be leveled! But if there is some weapon or armor you would be more familiar with I'm certain we could try to find it! Especially with your mission.

[crudest]

[Somewhere in the beginning of Week 2, Baren skips through the disco room - he memorized the tiles - and then brings not only Tanuki-san but Vera Wang to see Gracie.]

Oh Miss Graciiiie! I've got some questions for you!

[just some technical stuff to clear some information up for him, nothing urgent]

[recollecters]

[ some cat treats will mysteriously appear in addition to more grapes, as gracie waves baren to a seat... ]

I'll try to be of help! Mr. Fitzwilliam said I'm your liaison now. And you are looking for little Miss Wiseman, aren't you?

[crudest]

[he'll take a seat and have some grapes and share with tanuki-san..... though he'll also hold Vera Wang out for Miss Gracie to hold]

You got it!

But see, I've run into some odd little things when I've been talking to other people on other teams. Little Miss Wiseman - can I get a first name? What's she like?

[recollecters]

[ gracie will of course hold and pet Vera wang ]

Miss Joanne, the one you're meant to be looking for. She's a very sweet girl - I've been looking after her since she was just a wee thing. But...oh, I wasn't near enough to her when everything happened, or maybe I could have helped.

[ :( ]

Usually she spends hours every day with me, and I know Mr. Fitzwilliam and Doctor Mahoney must be frantic not being able to get to her immediately themselves.

[crudest]

She's been with you...? [ . . . huh. Okay, noted.] Anyway, it doesn't sound like it's your fault, Miss Gracie. We'll get her back to you soon.

[reuniting families.... not what baren thought he'd be doing, but he has a weakness for women and children and mother figures. since the others aren't in this room, he doesn't seem to worry as much about showing that sort of compassion.]

Does she have any sort of connection to a Janet Wiseman?

[recollecters]

Oh, of course. Miss Joanne is Miss Janet's younger sister. They're quite close.

[ continued :( since the robomaid apparently very much wants joanne back. ]

[fashioneebo]

[Okay, well, the armory is unlocked, he thinks. So. It makes sense that there might be a staff in there of some kind, right? Or at least something better than a broken pitchfork. The best person to ask about this seems to be Gracie, so Mikleo will approach her about that.]

Um...Miss Gracie, I have a question for you. Would there happen to be any staves in the armory? I seem to be more familiar using them.

[A small pause.]

If you have the time, of course.

[Better to be nice and polite to the one robot who has done them no harm so far...?]

[recollecters]

[ miss gracie is bopping to yet another abba techno remix, probably. ]

A stave? Certainly, dear. Does it need to be any specific sort?

[fashioneebo]

[She has good taste.]

Um, no, it doesn't need to be. I'm just hoping it doesn't break easily.

[Listen, Mikleo's going to have nightmares about the pitchfork incident for days.]

[recollecters]

All right! If you go check now, there should be a stave in one of the unlocked bins.

[ via robot magic ]

[fashioneebo]

[Mikleo smiles at her. Robo-Mary Poppins is the best.]

Thank you, Miss Gracie.

[recollecters]

Of course, dear. Please let me know if you need anything else!

[ :) ]
