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. |

[A "hmmph".]
It's his business.
no subject
[ there's something off with that, he knows this, but he doesn't know why or how. it's no more than a simple gut feeling--nothing else.
so he sighs. for once in this trip, he actually looks troubled. ]
Stay safe. Sakura told me to take care of you but I'm pretty sure you've had enough of me. I wouldn't blame you either.
[ he takes out a box of cigarettes and a lighter from his pants pocket, taking a moment to light one. inhale. exhale. ]
So, yeah. That's all I got to say. I'm sorry.
no subject
[Instantly, his countenance changes - his frustrated frown twists, opens into a surprised gape.]
...You know Sakura? How?
no subject
[ he pauses, taken aback by howard's sudden change of attitude. it's not something he expected but damn, that was quick. ]
I do. She's my friend.
no subject
[Sakura knows...Oda? Well, it shouldn't surprise him that Sakura has friends outside of him, but it seems like such a small world, to be somehow joined to someone who knows her like he does.]
[He reaches up a hand to bite at the nail of his index finger.]
Did she really say to uh, take care of me?
no subject
[ he's too frank and unable to improvise to come up with a good lie in the first place. when sakutarou had learned of their friendship, he hadn't even questioned it for a second. if he's her friend, then that's how it is. ]
Shuji...also told me something like that. [ or more along the lines of 'if either of you get hurt i'm gonna cry on you' but that can go unsaid ] So that's why I said the thing about people carin' for you. You got good friends, Howard.
no subject
[The heartstone in his pocket is acting up - there seems to be an almost palpable fear in the air around him, a low drone of don't hate me don't hate me don't loathe me don't be afraid of me don't hate me for things outside my control in the back of his mind.]
Even you...I'm just your...burden...
no subject
I know what that's like. [ he takes a cigarette out, lighting it and pausing to have a puff. when he exhales, it comes out in a small wisp of smoke. ] Maybe not the same way as you, but all I've done is cause 'em trouble. Honestly, I wonder how they haven't tossed me aside, yet.
But...they still consider me as a friend. Maybe 'cause friendship is helping others when they think they need it or because we're beating ourselves up more than we should, or maybe both. I don't know. But I don't think you should question their friendship. Maybe you should just try and accept things as they are.
[ maybe i should, too. ]
[ he sighs, pausing once more to take another puff from the cigarette. ] And as for me, you're no burden. I've gotten my leg broken trying to help someone, so trust me, I'm good.
no subject
[The heartstone calms down some - Howard turns his morose gaze away from the other, looking to the horizon. Odasaku, even though he's quiet and doesn't share as many of his thoughts as others do, is someone far more "normal" than he ever would be.]
Some days, I wish I was someone like you. It would be easier that way.
no subject
on one hand, he thinks of the children that he had taken in before...whatever was recolle happened. it makes sense for someone with a "kind heart" to take them in.
but then he thinks of the cold killer in another one of his memories and he wonders...how much is that true?
the heartstone flutters with some unease, a stark change from the usual. ]
It wasn't always that way, apparently. When I was younger--my actual self, before Recolle-- I think I used to do awful things. So if I could change...maybe you can, too.
no subject
[He shrugs, helplessly.]
It comes naturally to you, somehow. I don't know about me. Like wringing blood from a stone...
[He's already too far gone, in his opinion.]
...Anyways what do you mean, your "actual life"? Your...past life? [He turns, quirks an eyebrow.] The one from your memories?
