PESGARE

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 One Objective 2: Info for Objective Two | Threading for Objective Two Objective 3: Info for Objective 3 | Threading for Objective Three Mar 3rd: Outro 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.

[Makoto can't really argue with that, it's a good point. He will admit that part of him is curious about Recolle and the strange phenomena that's been happening since he moved here. Still, another part wants to wait, until all these things pass so he won't have to worry about it. He knows that's not a good way to deal with things. He's here, he should see it through and see what answers he can find.]

Yeah it would be good to have answers for the strange things that's been happening. I've been taking pictures of anything weird that happens cause there are some things I can't believe. I've only been here since August or when those boats fell on the beach. How long have you been here?

[megabond]

About a year now after the app was released. It was supposed to be Founder's Day, but it looks like we ended up on a mission to find out what was happened outside the dome.

[He secretly sighed in dismay, seeing that he can never enjoy another normal festival like that this year.]

[amodelidol]

[Makoto turns to look at the water. He hasn't been here long, though he could imagine that it would be grating if he stayed here without any answers. He looks back over at Augustine with his best reassuring smile.]

Maybe when this is all over we'll be able to have contact with people outside the city again? I don't know if we'll get any answers, but maybe we'll get something about what's been happening.

[megabond]

[Just hearing that was enough to think about his older brother again. Which makes him worried about what is happening to him and any other countries.]

I don't know if that will happen again, but it may have a chance of restoring any signs of normalcy that remained in our city.

[amodelidol]

[Makoto is worried about his parents. He hasn't been able to keep in contact with them for awhile now. He knows they're worried, he just hopes he can contact them soon.]

That's something that I'm looking forward to.

[Makoto stares back at the water for a bit, thinking of ways he could shift the subject a bit.]

Um, so, what do you do in the city?

[megabond]

[Just hearing that question is enough to make his relief of the change of subject.]

I'm working as a university professor of Animal Biology. Though every weekend, I volunteered at the animal shelter. What about you?

[amodelidol]

[Makoto smiles as he sits back in relief. They both needed the change.]

I'm a journalism student at the university. I've been interested in broadcast journalism for awhile too and during the weekend I try to study or find a new place around the city.

[megabond]

I see. So you're interested in becoming a journalist for news sites and those news shows?

[amodelidol]

I am! I don't want to be out in front, I'm more interested in the behind the scenes work like mixing, editing, making sure the stories get out there to everyone, and other things like that.

[megabond]

Well, not everyone wants to be a reporter. Though, I can guess you worked hard to become one of those people someday.

[amodelidol]

I'd like to be able to work with reporters one day. I've met some really nice ones that got me interested in this field. Oh, I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself. My name is Makoto Yuuki, what's yours?

[megabond]

[That means Makoto's future is now bright. He hoped that these strange phenomena won't affect his dream.]

My name is Augustine Sauveterre. It's very nice to meet you.
