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. |
no subject
[His voice is incredulous, the implication: how could someone do such a thing? dripping from it.]
...We're just outsiders, but this place has been kind to us. There has to be some way we can help you all out in return.
[His words ring with a gentle sincerity, and the woman hurries to reassure him. They couldn't ask that of them! That man is trying to create a line of resorts - there's not much they can do in the face of that.
Theo's eyes flicker to Nazuna just briefly at that mention, but only just. His attention is on the couple and the information they can squeeze from them.]
no subject
Is there no way to compromise...? [ a little despairingly, but he already knows the answer. people like that won't take no for an answer, and the slightly pinched look on his face gives nazuna all of the information on that he really needs.
he clucks a little, a sad noise as he finally lets go of the woman's hand, then puts on a more positive outlook, a smile quirking at his lips. ] I don't know what we can do, but we'll do something, okay? Don't lose hope. We're just like reinforcements, okay? And you've helped so much! You know what they say: if you know thy enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles! ★
no subject
Hey, can you tell me more about that guy?
[His voice remains calm, but determined.]
If we know more about him, it might not be too late. Guys like that... [are probably shady, and their group isn't exactly ordinary either] well, we might be able to dissuade him from buying the island if we know more about him. If he's greedy, maybe we can come up with a better offer for him to take instead.
no subject
Please let us help you. [ he's utterly sincere, and finally, the woman speaks with some manner of worry, determination. don't trust him. he's a snake oil salesman, you know? he's been trying to hurt this town for so long.
untrustworthy, a liar... it's not all that surprising, really, but. nazuna nods, determined. ] We won't. [ and then, a glance up to theo. they should move on, probably... this couple's already given them so much. ] We'll be careful, too. I promise, ma'am.
1/2
Don't worry about us. We'll do everything we can to help you out.
[Nodding to Nazuna to follow, he'll begin to walk away...]
2/2
Great. So we're dealing with some rich asshole.
[On the bright side, it's a normal kind of terrible instead of a supernatural one, but still - what have they gotten themselves into?]
no subject
Who would do that to these people? [ theo's "some rich asshole" really is the answer to that question.
if only he knew how relevant that was to his "other life".he scrubs his face, then exhales. ] We need to find out more. Maybe we can meet up with someone else from the group...? There's more power in numbers.
[ pulling out his phone, nazuna sends out a message to the group chat. ]
anyone availble to meet theochin and i to talk to a few of the residents? U(´･×･`)U we're gathering information.
no subject
Bonjour, I came here as soon as I saw your message in the chat. Care to tell me what you got so far?
[He is actually gathering some information after the mysterious man arrived in town with little information so far. He hopes that the boys may have some luck on their side.]
no subject
[Ahhh dammit there's another person already. Curse you, modern technology and your convenience.]
...Yo. [Ugh.] Looks like our mystery man's been trying to buy up this island for a resort for a while now.
no subject
nazuna greets augustine cheerfully, with a little wave. ] Mm, yeah. He's been talking about pushing people out of the town to do it, too. They said he was really untrustworthy, and we had to be careful of him...we thought we'd try to get a little more information out of someone else.
Nobody really wants to talk that much. [ he glances back over his shoulder, towards where the couple is still sitting. ] It's like they don't want to get us involved...
no subject
I can't blame them. We are just tourists in this town.
Though, I do have a bad feeling about that man. I don't know if he's connected to the latest shifts, but we might take their advice and investigate further.
no subject
[Which, like. Retrospec could very well have grabbed them for, but he wants to believe they have some better plan than gathering and potentially bribing them all just to do some basic chores like that.]
...Let's find some more people. Middle-aged, working class... they might have more to say on the guy than the younger kids. I bet they'll have the most gripes about him, too.
[They'll have been around long enough with an accute awareness of what that man's presence means for their continued livelihoods, after all.]
no subject
he claps his hands together. ] Alright! Let's get to work, then. Yos~hi.
[ and, sure enough, a little ways down the line, there looks to be a small coffee shop. there's a table outside of it, and though the shop isn't as busy as it should be, there's a man there sipping a drink out of a styrofoam cup.
nazuna gives a little tilt of his head. ] Would that work?
no subject
That should be a good idea. At least they may able to trust us on our best course of action.
[Just as they saw the man in a small coffee shop, Augustine is the first one to approach him with a cautious, yet friendly manner.]
Excuse me, sir. Can we talk to you for a moment?
no subject
We were talking with a couple earlier... it sounds like there's a mysterious man who's been causing trouble here.
[And once again, his tone and expression switch to something far more pleasant. It's far more lowkey than his act as Kestrel, but useful nonetheless.]
no subject
nazuna's lips purse, just a little, and he clasps his hands together. ] We just wanted to know if it's safe, but...
[ for y'all? it'll be fine. the man says, distaste playing out all over his face. since you're tourists, and stuff. place'll be a paradise, practically. ]
no subject
From what we know, he has been keeping an eye on this town lately. Can you tell us why he made some trouble here?
no subject
The man seems wistful for a moment... while Theo tries very hard not to scowl. They already know this, what else can they ask...]
What about the other times he visited? Are there any patterns...?
no subject
nazuna looks to his other two groupmates, eyes widening just a little. either he's rich, sure, or... there's something else happening? maybe he's trying to avoid someone. who knows who...
still. he clasps his hands together gently, sympathetic. ] Someone who is awful, I'm sure. We're going to try and find out as much as we can about him to make him stop coming back, okay? We're on the case.
no subject
Thank you for that information, sir. We promised to bring this man to justice if we can.
no subject
[The words are half-growled before Theo nods to the others, beginning to walk away to converse once again.]
Okay, so either he's a rich showoff or he's got something to hide. [That growl from before? Gone now. Now, it's all business.] The only thing that has me thinking it's the latter is, we still don't even have a name for this guy. If he was a showoff, you'd think there'd be some kind of brand recognition, but... we still don't even know his name, and that's the kind of thing that'd spread right away if someone heard it.
no subject
[ talk about a group you'd want to hide from... ]
no subject
[Though now that he thinks about it, he wonders if those people have any connections to that man at all.]
Regardless, we better rendezvous back to the others. Maybe they might have more information gathered that we didn't know right now.
no subject
[He gives a shrug, raising his hands in the motion.]
I agree. We should see if the others have anything good.
no subject
[ they got a few answers, but not many...still, nazuna's of a firm belief that teamwork will make the dream work, so! with a quick turn back and a finger wave at the guy at the table, who waves back, he nods and tosses his head in the direction of the inn. ]
Let's go, then ~ !
