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.

TEXT/ACTION?: A CALL FOR JUNK

[playdolls]

This creepy shop owner has an entire shop full of junk, but the junk he has isn't enough and now wants us to find him some more junk. He's got the wire, and in exchange he demands (AND I QUOTE):

new "world wonders" for the shop: strange art pieces, gold items, etc
a blue velvet jacket for his ugly mannequin
a special kind of tea that only ships into town every few months

We can handle the jacket, the rest of you find the rest of this shit and bring it here.

Thanks. Bye.

@Ritsu @Mao
you're over by the boats, aren't you, ritsuchin, maochin? is there any chance one of the fishermen might have some of the tea we need?
if you need us to get you anything to trade, i'm sure we could find it

[strayknight]

We are...I think we are trying to get tea and some other things~

Re: TEXT/ACTION?: A CALL FOR JUNK

[standalonehuman]

Awww. Why couldn't we have Koutarou with us? We find a guy that likes paintings, and our artist didn't make the cut.

Ideas on anything else interesting we could give him?

[playdolls]

He runs a curio shop, he already has interesting things. So does he want more things to sell, or more things to keep. Don't know, don't care!

[standalonehuman]

Whatever he wants to do with it, point is, we have a way to trade. Just, with what?

The tech level here is a little...behind the times.

[playdolls]

I think it's fun reassembling old things. Maybe that's what we should do to make them more interesting? Or does defacing them lower their value.

[ohrlyeh]

what kind of tea did he say

like darjeeling or earl grey. like the type

[playdolls]

What, can't you just go skulk around the docks and ask?

[ohrlyeh]

and get extremely nauseous by looking at the water and remembering my ordeal in getting over here? no thanks

seriously though, what kind of tea

[playdolls]

Splish splash splish splash

[ohrlyeh]

that is not a kind of tea and you know it

[playdolls]

I prefer coffee, I don't know what he wanted.
He wasn't very specific.

[ohrlyeh]

there are different kinds of tea. if you get him the one he doesn't want he'll be unhappy. you have to find out these things

[akatatai]

My group is by the boats right now, and it looks like we might be in luck
I'm not sure yet, but I think they might have the tea we're looking for
The sailors are gathering things for us right now

But what we do know is that they have a gold telescope and a really fancy looking compass
I don't think they'd want to trade those, though...

[playdolls]

Then steal them?

[akatatai]

That's definitely the worst thing we could do

[playdolls]

Then don't get caught!

[akatatai]

I don't want to do anything to make them mad
It seems like they're going to help us get the tea, so!!

[playdolls]

Make sure to tell Sour Howard all about it! He's super bent out of shape about the tea.

[blind_badass]

Define strange art pieces.

[pronounces]

he didn't give us any details besides that, but...
everything in here is a little...
curious?

anything really flashy, or with weird shapes, or just... anything anyone might think is abnormal would fit right in. trust me.
maybe something with a little texture on it? that you could touch, or a sculpture, or something...?

[blind_badass]

Really? Well, I'm blind so I'm all about texture. I wonder if they'd like something unusual that washed up on the beach? Like a driftwood sculpture?

[pronounces]

that would be perfect! great thinking!!

[blind_badass]

If I have time I'll scour the beach for anything unusual feeling.
