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

[ Astin stares at Sora for a long moment, as if the question that's been asked is completely unthinkable. ]

Well, no. But that's not the point!
destiny_key: (how dare)

[personal profile] destiny_key 2018-02-17 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sora frowns, and looks away, towards the door they're waiting to go through.]

But, we shouldn't lie about this. If we really want them to believe us, we should tell the truth. I mean, it's not like we don't have enough evidence.
unreasons: (:/)

[personal profile] unreasons 2018-02-19 03:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ Astin grimaces for a moment. Sora is... probably right. ]

...yeah, I guess. I just thought that maybe it'd help.
destiny_key: (hehe)

[personal profile] destiny_key 2018-02-19 04:07 am (UTC)(link)
[The frown slides off his face, replaced by a smile he hopes is understanding.]

Well, we can do this without lying, right? C'mon, everything'll work out. And then when this is over, we can go do something fun.
unreasons: (^o^)

[personal profile] unreasons 2018-02-19 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Astin leans back, interlacing their fingers at the back of their head. This whole thing is harder than they'd expected. Still. They turn their head and flash a grin at Sora. ]

Yeah! You're right! What is there to do for fun around here, though?
destiny_key: (yeah...)

[personal profile] destiny_key 2018-02-19 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I dunno... They're pretty old fashioned here.

[He has to think about it for a second before he comes up with an idea.]

We could go see if they have an ice cream place somewhere?
unreasons: (:D!)

[personal profile] unreasons 2018-02-19 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah...

[ SIGH. But then Sora has a brilliant idea! Astin beams at the thought. ]

Ahh! Ice cream sounds perfect!
destiny_key: (hehe)

[personal profile] destiny_key 2018-02-19 10:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Great! Ice cream it is, then.

[But first, they have a job to do. Sora glances at the door again, wondering how long it'll be until they can enter.]

You've got all the papers, right?
unreasons: (???)

[personal profile] unreasons 2018-02-25 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Astin blinks at the question. ]

Ah! Yeah, they're right here...

[ Astin waggles the papers towards Sora. ]
destiny_key: (of course!)

[personal profile] destiny_key 2018-02-26 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
Good. We gotta be prepared.

[It's strange, saying that like he knows what he's doing. Usually Sora's the most disorganized person he knows, and now somehow he's become the responsible one here.

He grins at Atsushi, hoping it looks reassuring.
]

You ready for this?
unreasons: (:Db)

[personal profile] unreasons 2018-02-26 04:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ Astin grins right back and gives Sora a thumbs up. ]

Of course I am! How hard could it be, right?
