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!

WEEK TWO OBJECTIVE

[recollecters]

Team Daquiri's updated area map is HERE! However, please be advised they will be directed to Peach Beach to deal with an unreality twist after the arrive on the 10th for directions. If they speak to Miss Gracie before they leave, they will be permitted into room 4. Descriptions and information for new rooms and locations will be handed out once you've sorted yourselves into teams.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: Resolve the unreality twist at Peach Beach and rescue Joanne.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: Locate and win 6 spirit pearls within the unreality twist.

The primary objective is required to "win" objective one; completing the secondary objective is optional and may allow team members to gain extra tools to complete next week's objective. Threads which progress towards either objective should be reported to this toplevel. Your primary objective cannot be completed solo, and will require you to work as a team! At least 10 of 13 team members must participate to pass. You must also solve the objective; be sure to communicate with your teammates and please let the moderators know when you need to investigate any given room or location; everything is currently locked unless the room has been previously cleared, and to open it you must alert the moderators in the appropriate top-level here!

(frozen comment) OBJECTIVE REPORTING

Any objective progress/solutions should go here! You do need to thread out the completion of the objective in full.

Please label which objective you're reporting for (i.e. Primary or Secondary).

ROOM/AREA EXPLORATION

[recollecters]

Please respond here with which characters are in the group (at least two minimum, three maximum if you are requesting mod comments to the thread instead of simply flavor text) and where they are attempting to explore.

[crudest]

'SUP LUCY. Let's rock and roll - actually I have a 2-part question.

1. For Peach Beach, as we're starting to split up into teams, how do you want us to figure out how we're divvied up? Should there be a Team 1, 2, 3 or can we theoretically pick quadrants of Peach Beach based on direction like North/South/East/West?

2. Izuku, Futaba, and Baren are all going on an adventure as Team Floaties to Peach Beach! And they'll be taking... a section... based on however you want us to figure that out. What are they gonna find?

[recollecters]

1. You can divide yourselves however you want! The way to enter the twist is basically to follow glances at notes Futaba or Bucky's devices! They will start beeping and they will need to walk down the beach and into where the water USED to be for a bit until they find a portal kind of flickering in and out. They will need to go into the portal!

Once inside, they will find themselves in the ocean. Not...the real ocean, that got eaten, but a false one. Blue and green exist here, and there are technicolor fish all around. There are several locations of interest! There is a castle that Futaba's device will indicate is the probable location of Miss Wiseman, but which they don't seem able to enter without certain keys.

There are also six hotspots Bucky and Futaba will be able to notice on their devices that are presumably the pearl locations. A shipwreck, a shrine, two at the same-ish location in a cave, two more at a coral reef, and one last one at a kelp forest.

2. They can pick whichever location they like.

[crudest]

Got it!! That's really neat. Okay, so that's why they need the diving gear, I presume? Do we have any idea where the keys are - like the other hot spots maybe?

[arahoushi]

Toshi and Steinbeck are going to check out one of the hotspots in the cave, just like in a traditional anime summer Test Of Courage filler episode!

[recollecters]

They will find this cave network! They can hit up the orange star location or the red star location first depending on what you prefer, just let me know and I'll specify what's up with whichever. :)

Re: ROOM/AREA EXPLORATION

[standalonehuman]

Team Super Best Friends, Togusa and Koutarou are going to head for the shrine!

[recollecters]

THIS is the area map, with THIS general aesthetic.

[covenantal]

LOOK WHO'S BACK, BACK AGAIN

Yu and Mikleo are going to hit up the kelp forest! What sorts of fun adventures will we have this time?!

[recollecters]

Sing me a backstreet boys song to get an answer???

But okay! Once they get there, there will be some seahorses milling around! They will inform Yu and Mikleo that they are playing hide and seek. There are seven seahorses hiding around the kelp forest (which looks pretty much like a normal kelp forest) if they want to join in!

(They probably want to join in, since the prize is a key!)

[crudest]

GASPS IN EXCITEMENT, LUCY WE GOT ALL 7 KEYS WHAT DO YOU WANT US TO DO NOW! Does something glamorous and fantastic happen? Are we going to save the princess?

Also re: the spirit pearls, how do you want us to handle those since we'll be picking them on the way into the castle? Should those still be individually reported?

[recollecters]

Something does happen! Prepare for a really shitty mspaint map. THIS is what the outside of the castle looks like! At each gate thing is a lock for the corresponding key, and you need to turn them at the same time. Inside the room for each save the white key room is a spirit pearl; in order to "win" the pearl they must make up a beautiful haiku about their color for the clam inside the room.

You 100% must write me these beautiful haikus to win the pearls. There is a sign by each clam stating they like haikus, particularly about their favorite colors, and the clams are helpfully color coded!

When they finish that they can just enter through the doors and come into the same main area! Inside they will find this guy in a crown, attempting to have a wedding with their beautiful princess, who seems. Less than thrilled about this plan?

You guys can handle the ensuing battle However You Want (I'm serious about the haikus tho) and let me know when they've completed that and Joanne will probably have things to say. She is unfortunately kind of Stuck in a shimmery blue orb of magic and doesn't seem capable of breaking her way out.

Idc if this runs a little overtime if need be, but if it does I'll delay objective 3 a little bit to settle Joanne in!

MONSTER BATTLES

[recollecters]

If you would like to either request information for a specific monster, respond here! You can use the Bestiary if you choose to do your own battles; Moderator-assigned monsters may pull from other sources than the Bestiary, however!

Please note this is for OOC requests/information, not the threads themselves, thank you!

[frostythehitman]

Hello, sooo Team Reef(er) Madness is about to come face to face with the coral monsters--anything we should know about how they fight?

[recollecters]

They can grow sharp coral weapony arms to hit people with, or just club them with other parts! Also, you need to smash them to bits, as they can regrow their limbs.

[frostythehitman]

SO FOR THIS BIG MEAN MARRIAGE MACHINE, does the middle head have eyes? I can't...really tell from the image...

[recollecters]

He does! You can stab away.
