TEAM ONE EVENT LOG
|
READY: START. Roster: Theodore Leonhardt + Atsushi Nakajima, Augustine Sauveterre, Shinji Matou + Makoto Yuuki, Nazuna Nito + Apollo Justice, Sakutarou Oda + Howard Phillips, Carter + Mao Yata + Izumi Miyamura, Hitori Togusa + Sora Pu'uwai, Pitou Blythe + Astin Beaufort, Elizabeth Brisby + Ritsu Sakuma, Junpei Tenmyouji, Light Averly, Kiyotaka Ishida, Soujirou Katsuki + Peter Hoboken On the morning of the fourth at 9am, you'll find yourself gathering at the beach with several other volunteers. Many of you will find yourself partnered up and with a name in mind, and awaiting in front of you is a small fishing boat equipped to carry your group. A text comes through not long after, Zee's name attached. All aboard! Welcome, good morning, thanks for coming out. We've got a little journey ahead of us. Hope you like the ocean. Stepping aboard, you'll notice that the boat is equip with everything you could need for a short trip three hours south of the city: fishing poles, breakfast, life jackets, etc. In addition, you'll find a handful of flares with the Retrospec symbol stamped on them that you may want to take with you. At the end of this trip, you'll find yourself pulling into a harbor of a region known as Pesgare.  Constantly overcast with the threat of rain, Pesgare is a bustling little harborside town with a wide ocean and streams leading fishermen and traders in from all parts of the world. There’s greenery and the scent of salt in the area and it’s a balmy sort of feeling the longer you linger outside. The region known as Pesgare is filled with cramped quarters and cobblestone-esque roads and it’s hard to tell who is and isn’t from the area. There are multiple languages that can be heard (including some that are absolutely not from this earth) and it’s hard to track all of the activity in the main village. Along the roads are brick buildings and wooden shacks and the general area of the town itself is only about 500 square miles. Most of the area to explore ahead is the ocean itself to other ports and islands around. Everyone in the town is friendly. Literally everyone. It’s hard to find anyone who isn’t in a jovial mood and who isn’t willing to help a neighbor or a stranger and they will be happy to chat about the places they’ve traveled or the people they’ve met along the way. Several of the stories revolve around travels around the globe from once upon a time, and there are others that speak of worlds far off and strange planets that you may never have heard of. It’s hard to tell if they’re serious stories or not though as the townspeople regale the tales and laugh all the while. It’s hard to go anywhere in the town without someone stopping to offer you a free loaf of bread or rush up to talk about how you remind them of someone. It’s busy, busy, busy. A lot of the places in the area appear to be trade posts for certain specialties. This includes weaponry, types of fish, cured meats and veggies, bakeries, books, equipment, curio wares and more. It’s all about supply and demand and barter and trade here. It’s not recommended to travel at night, so most out-of-towners are directed to the inn at the top of the hill, The Ontispan. Several stories high and easily the most recognizable building in the port, you will find that it’s near the lighthouse and the owners, an elderly couple, are more than happy to take you in. There’s plenty of room! The lodging is nice and comfortable and the rolling sea outside your window is calming. However, payment must be made in the morning. No problem, right? You must have your wallet on you, mustn’t you? But the amount due is in a currency you do not have. You’ve never even heard of it! How are you supposed to pay for something like this? It’s all about supply and demand and barter and trade. The boat you came on is nowhere in sight and none of the other fishermen will consider taking you back to the mainland while you're trying to leave without payment. Looks like you'll just have to work off your debt, now won’t you? This is the Team One Event Log! You are free to toplevel and thread as you choose on this log, but only team members may utilize this log.
Remember, your activity to qualify for your two free memories and one item is supplying at least 30 comments spread over the three objectives per group (minimum of 5 comments per objective!) with at least three members of your groups. You will not be eligible if you do not participate in all three objectives somehow, and you will not be eligible if you only stick with your preferred partner! People who are paired with partners will experience some of the following: -Telepathic connections, but only the thoughts you don’t want your partner to actually hear. You can also use this to influence your partner’s thoughts. -Color fades when you’re not cooperating, it brightens when you are. -Cause and effect. If something happens to your partner, you feel it (i.e. if your partner trips somewhere, you’ll feel the effects.) -Timers. You and your partner will have a countdown embedded somewhere (hand, foot, chest, whatever) and if you don’t complete your missions and see each other before the timer runs out, consequences occur. These are not required and you may play with these as little or as much as you want! Important links to mod toplevels are: Mod Questions, Participation Reporting, NPC questions. Please be aware you are responsible for reporting your own participation & objective completion efforts with links. You must ICly tap into the log within the first 48 hours, or you will be removed from your team. If your activity is low per objective, the moderators may reach out to you about reassignment as well. The schedule for Team One is as follows: 3RD: Objective 1 posted (9PM EST) | Threading for Location Travel | Threading for Object OneObjectives 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. |

[And here comes Atsushi, a messenger bag slung over his shoulder filled with a change of clothes, dried fruit, homemade cookies, and a Swiss Army knife. He doesn’t really know much about what they’ll be doing, but he’s roughed it in the past, so he thinks he’ll make it alright.
He stops right in front of Theo, bowing slightly. He’s wearing black jeans, a black and white striped sweater, and red converses. Stylish! He smiles, tucking a strand of black, oddly cut hair behind his ear.]
Um...I guess we’re partners! So uh...let’s do our best!
no subject
The friendship cooties.]
...They seriously called you here, too?
[Like, admittedly, it's questionable that someone like him passed any assessment for something like this, but... really?]
no subject
[Atsushi can sense that Theo isn’t exactly pleased with his presence, and his expression turns rather sheepish.]
Sorry...I’m probably not the best partner ever, but I still want to help, if that’s okay?
no subject
It's fine. To be honest, I'm not even sure why they picked me for the job, either.
[He's calling them out on their admittance tests, seriously, who the hell looks at him and his life and thinks he sounds perfect for a team-oriented job like this?]
no subject
This is going to be a pain in the ass.
Atsushi frowns. He must just be imagining things, but it still throws him off, and he glances away back over the open ocean.]
I’m not sure how they picked people, really, but we’re here now, so we should probably try to get along.
[”That’s not gonna happen. Nobody likes you, Atsushi. Not really.”
Welcome to a front row seat to Atsushi’s inner demons, Theo.]
no subject
It actually causes him to stare at Atsushi for a moment, expression clearly unsettled. This... feels like something out of a video game or TV show, but...
"Can you hear this?"
He won't be able to, naturally, because Theo actually tried to transmit that one. So instead he's just kind of staring weirdly at Atsushi.]
no subject
Um...is something wrong, Theo?
no subject
"Damn, this app thing is making me paranoid."]
I just thought I heard something weird, that's all.
--Anyway, I'm not really a 'team player' or whatever, but it's not like I want to make this take any longer than it already will.
no subject
[He’ll comment on the partner thing later; right now he’s confused about what he swears are Theo’s thoughts being projected into his head.]
no subject
...Yeah. Then the part about...
[...No one liking you...]
--Then you can really hear what I'm thinking?
no subject
[He hears that curse loud and clear, and realizes with a bit of shame that Theo most likely heard him berating himself earlier.
Looks like he’s gonna have to rein in the negative thoughts or end up very embarrassed.]
What kind of place is this?
[He hopes they arrive soon. This is awkward...]
no subject
[Which is pretty much jack shit, but there's one more thing he needs to test:]
...Hey. Tell me if you can hear this.
["My past self was some guy named Hal."
But once again, nothing goes through thanks to intent.]
no subject
[Weird. So, so weird.]
I guess it’s only the bad stuff that we can share...
no subject
["Great, now I have to filter what I'm thinking, too. It's like Orwell all over again."]
no subject
[Atsushi blinks a few times, looking confused.]
Orwell?
no subject
1984. The characters in the book are under surveillance basically all the time already, but having someone in your head monitoring your thoughts is a whole new level.
no subject
[...
It’s not a book he wants to live out in real life.]
Maybe it’s not permanent? At least, I really hope not...
no subject
["What if this lasts even when I'm back to work?"]
...If you hear anything weird, you should probably ignore it.
no subject
[Atsushi’s mind remains carefully blank for now as the boat finally docks in the town. Atsushi steps off, minding his footing as he exits onto the docks.]
Well. We should meet up with the others in our group, I guess.
no subject
[And off they go to do so!
He'll notice the timer on his hand later, probably.]
