TEAM SNOW WHITE LOG

TEAM SNOW WHITE

READY: START Team Snow White roster: Davey Jacobs, Eleanor Lamb, Fang, Kasen Kanesada, Malik Ishtar, Mari Ohara, Riku, Ritsu Kageyama, Ryoji Mochizuki, Toushiro Hitsugaya, Yuri Plisetsky. The city's been under siege for what feels like hours. It's only on August 3rd that you learn it's been a matter of days. Monsters begin pulling Retrospec users through portals left and right, large gaping holes in reality that spit you out in any given location around the city. However, just as you think you're finally getting away, a large blue portal opens and you're snatched up. No amount of fighting and struggling will free you and soon the pressure is too great to ignore. Darkness fills your vision and the last thing you may remember is the sound of many bat wings... This is the Team Snow White Event Log. You are free to toplevel and thread as you choose on this log, but only team members may utilize this log.

WEEK TWO OBJECTIVE

[recollecters]

The lazy river is quiet, crickets chirping in the distance and a light breeze rustling through the cattails growing in the water. It's been a few days since they've arrived at the bayou and have had time to ransack the area for food and supplies. As the time draws onward, lightning bugs flicker around them. Several of them show up in a cluster and the number grows.

On the evening of August 10th, the river begins to slosh gently as several boats make their way down to the party. The fireflies swirl around the lamps guiding the boats and begin to float above the party, forming a small message in the sky.

Float on

The boats won't leave until all party members merge together into one of the boats (no more than three per group), and the moment the last of their gear is loaded all of the boats begin to move forward again.

Floating down the river, they'll pass tall grass, little shacks (three on each side of the main river path), and the glowing yellow eyes of who knows what until the river becomes a lagoon in front of a large house.

The party may dock their boats and examine the house. Some of the party members may find their own items among the property should Retrospec wish for them to have them.* An overgrown garden winds around the front and back of the house, and a bit of exploring on the property will lead them to what appears to be a guest house and a greenhouse. As for the main house, however, they will find that the front door is locked and the windows are made of beautiful yet unbreakable glass. Three keys are required, and tacked to the door in an elegant script is a note from the desk of R. Spinnato.

Welcome, foolish ones. Would you like to play a game? The only way out is in, though do mind the swamp.

Guess it's a good thing you loaded up. Looks like a scavenger hunt's next on the agenda.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: Find the three keys to get inside the mansion.**
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: "Mind the Swamp": explore the area, discover what's in the shacks downstream, and fight anything that goes bump in the night.

The primary objective is required to "win" the week two objective! Completing the secondary objective is optional and may allow team members to gain extra tools/items for next week's objective. Threads which progress toward either objective should be reported to this toplevel. Your primary objective cannot be completed solo, and will require you to work as a team!

For this week's secondary objective, please comment here with directions you'd like to go and explorations of the swamp so that the moderators may provide you with information and clear the thread! Please ignore my terrible drawings, the shacks are further down-stream and not right in front of the mansion...

At least 8 of 11 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 of any drastic player action; for the primary objective, please let the moderators know what methods you are trying as some of the keys require a little creative thinking to be found!

*At this time, if you put in for an item regain to be delivered during week 2, characters will now receive these items!
**Forgive my hideous work-desk art skills, I'm sorry

OBJECTIVE REPORTING

[recollecters]

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

KEY THREAD

[catsudon]

Ongoing, but here is where the chest of photographs is being liberated from the water and the key within is being discovered! One key down, go team! Shack Six also explored.

KEY #2

[godcards]

Another key was dug up in the cemetery, Malik immediately claims it for himself. I'm sorry.

[darkinferno]

For the record, through the magic of TEAMWORK the plant has been slain and the third key obtained! \o/

EXPLORATION/HUNTING

[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; in these cases please let the moderator know the tag order in your request) and which area they're going to explore. Please also provide any additional notes you may need to make. Keep in mind some of these areas may have monsters, etc.

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

[appraiser]

Malik and Ryoji are headed to the cemetery! Flavor text please♥

[shinyidea]

hitsugaya & mari are heading for the greenhouse! can we have some flavor text?

[notyourutopian]

Eleanor and Yuri are headed to shack six over here! May we have some delicious flavor text or monsters or whatever is supposed to be lurking in there!

[appraiser]

Ritsu and Ryoji will explore shack #4! Flavor text would be grand~

[liberal_arts]

Kasen and Ritsu are teaming up again to explore Shack One! We're requesting some flavor text~

[seizedtheday]

Davey and Dante are headed for Shack #5! flavor text would be lovely c:

[belligerentwarrior]

Freya and Yuri are going for Shack 3! Info please!

[catsudon]

Freya, Eleanor and Yuri are taking on shack two to finish off all shack exploration!

Mind the Swamp - Shack something - open to one or two!

[belligerentwarrior]

[After reading the note with a scowl and watching the others break off to look for a way in, Freya turns back to the boats, starting back along the river. After a moment, she steps in.]

You ever get the feeling you're bein' watched? [She's not much of a cartoons person, but she's seen some of the classic Crazy Toons, and it seemed highly appropriate.] Other people saw things peering out of the bushes, yeah?

to shack three!

[catsudon]

( Yuri grimaces, stomping his foot and gesturing at the in general. )

Watched by whatever lives in the freaking water and eaten alive by insects at the same time, yeah! Maybe they have big repellent in one of these shitty shacks. ( that said, he's stepping into the same boat. )

exploration: cemetery (closed)

[godcards]

[ Malik had been immidately drawn to the mansion. An estate like that could only mean money, which means valuables but, alas! It was locked. He saw this as a challenge, checking every window he could reach, looking for crawlspace access, anything... but he was sealed out.

Walking around the back of the manor, however, something else caught his attention: the cemetery. While he never considered himself a grave robber, his curiosity piqued. Not to mention, a few key memories (tombkeepers? death??) swirled in his mind.

He's gonna check it out. ]

[appraiser]

[ Ryoji had always regarded cemeteries as a sacred place, even before the whole God of Death thing. What draws him to the cemetery is that feeling, of calm and acceptance and wonder... also Malik? Who he's only ever known from Retrospec, and the Ryoji who Malik is a happier, more optimistic one than the Ryoji who trails behind him now. ]

Houses and a cemetery mean people used to live here. I wonder where they're all gone...

Mind the Swamp - Shack 6 - Eleanor and Yuri

[notyourutopian]

[Eleanor used the long pole to push the boat back up the river the way they had come, the light from the lamp that hung on the front casting weird shadows in the darkness of the swamp trees.]

[She glanced back at Yuri as the last cabin came into view ahead of them.]

I think that's it ahead of us.

[She called back as she used the pole to try and steer the boat towards the ground in front of the shack.]

Mari & Toushiro off to the Greenhouse

[shinyidea]

We should see what's over there.

[ mari points towards the greenhouse, tucked on the side of the house. lots of people were volunteering towards heading off to those shacks, and someone defintely went off towards the graveyard (no thanks) so she turns to toushiro. ]

Want to come with me?

Shack #4 (Ritsu & Ryoji)

[appraiser]

[ There's really no reason why there would be both a mansion and shacks outside...? Ryoji feels weird about it either way, of what's practically invading people's homes without their explicit permission, but he pushes his discomfort aside and glances at Ritsu before turning to the shack in front of them.

He does his unnecessary double knock on the door (one-two, one-two) and then pushes the door open. ]

Pardon the intrusion...

Shack 5 [ Davey and Dante ]

[seizedtheday]

[ Another day, another... whatever this is. Davey's kind've getting used to the LARP his life has become. The fetch quest portion clear enough and searching the area the shacks are in should lead to clues. ...Or, at least in theory it does.

It still doesn't make him any less apprehensive to open up random doors without an invite. Hardwired manners are hard to put aside even in situations like this. ] Pardon the intrusion......

[ Please don't jump at him for opening the door ]

Shack One - Ritsu and Kasen

[liberal_arts]

-Kasen didn't really know anyone else in their group, and his social skills had never been well developed. And you tended to feel a bit closer to someone you shared near-death experiences with, so it just made sense to him that he'd stick with Ritsu. When everyone else split off to examine the shacks, he picked one out for them to look over, taking the lamp from their boat and carefully opening the door...-

It looks like a supply shed. Whoever lived here must have a fleet of boats stored somewhere, but...

Wait. -Kasen peered closer, before noticing something moving. Towards them. And not at a threatening speed? But neither Kasen or Ritsu seemed to matter much beside a passing curiosity as it brushed past them both and towards the door.-

Hey, h-hold on! -Kasen reached in vain to try and stop the old turtle, but its spiny fins and shell made short work of the structural integrity of the building, and he and Ritsu were going to have to deal with a collapse.-

slaughterhouse two | eleanor, freya, & yuri

[catsudon]

( Yuri is bandaged up and in clean clothes for this, at least, though he looks more mutinous and determined than anything else when he's paddling along with the women guiding the boat, keeping a sharp eye for floating logs in the water.

he knows intimately they're probably not logs. his life is determinedly not that easy. )

After this, we're setting up camp for the night, right?
