TEAM ONE EVENT LOG

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.

[ A boat... traveling the ocean... this feels like some sort of sick joke, all things considered. ]

Yes, let's send the guy who we made remember nearly drowning on a trip across the ocean... that sounds reasonable...

[ Still, he's curious enough to follow this lead in the hopes of more info... he's just going to make sure to throw on a lifejacket first. Better safe than sorry. ]

Oda, Howard, and Shinji are going to be mapmaking and talking to locals. Well, Howard's probably not going to talk, but that's what having a cute child is for.

[personal profile] ohrlyeh 2018-02-04 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
No. No. I'm not going. You can't make me. You can't. This is cruel and ununusual punishment. This is...this is the worst thing you can make me do.

[There's a man, extremely slender, with long dark hair strewn around him, lying on the ground in front of the fishing boats.]

[He's an adult.]

[He is clearly having his equivalent of a temper tantrum.]


I'm not doing it. I'm staying...right here. Right here. I'm not going anywhere.

[He's shaking his head, his unnaturally purple eyes wide. Is this hell? Is this hell he's walking into?]
unreasons: (^o^)

[personal profile] unreasons 2018-02-04 03:11 am (UTC)(link)
[ Astin on the other hand seems downright cheery. They give Junpei a friendly pat on the shoulder as the boat rocks with the rise and fall of the waves. ]

Aw, it won't be that bad. I mean... We'll save you if you fall in!

Howard-san...?

[Atsushi, bless his soul, is very confused and concerned about this entire ordeal, but apparently there’s at least one person handling it worse than him.

Atsushi walks up to Howard and gazes down at him through a curtain of oddly cut hair.
]

Um. Is something wrong? Are you afraid of the water?

Re: MOD QUESTIONS FOR ALL OBJECTIVES

[personal profile] standalonehuman 2018-02-04 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
It looks like we're going to end up with multiple groups of people going after the same objectives. So, for example, a three-person thread and a two-person thread both doing sub-objective one. If they both solve it differently, what happens? Should everyone on the same sub-objective be in the same thread, for your convenience?

Talking to people and general exploring

[personal profile] blind_badass 2018-02-04 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Snake isn't one to make excuses about the things he can and cannot do. He isn't going to be able to fish (well) or examine things in a shop. He is good at memorizing the layouts of places and memorizing facts in general. It's a skill he's cultivated over time.

So you might find a blind man listening carefully as he walks around and when he's not doing that, trying to talk to people who will listen. Maybe you're trying to explore and do the same thing?
]

I appear to be new in your fine abode. Do you mind telling me a bit more about this place?

I'm not afraid of the water.

[He says, stiffening as he turns his head and aims a glare at the boat that is just...sitting there. Being a boat.]

[How DARE.]


I'm afraid of...being out on the water. The ocean, specifically. I don't want to be out there. I mean, I drowned in it once. I-I don't want it to happen again,
odasaku: (59)

mapmaking!

[personal profile] odasaku 2018-02-04 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ if the ride to the island wasn't hell enough, then everything that came after surely is. even odasaku, who's usually unfazed by most things, can feel the beginnings of a migraine blooming in the back of his head.

ah well, there's nothing that can be done but to explore. it's the first time he's been out of the city; an awesome experience.

but...would howard really want to do something like that...? considering what had happened on the boat trip to the island...

he looks over at the immobile figure of howard carter on the couch, and odasaku feels concerned; he definitely can't leave him alone. ]


Howard. We should go investigate.

[personal profile] courageofheart 2018-02-04 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
[Mrs. Brisby wasn't sure what the plan exactly was, other than the fact that they were meeting at a beach - it was honestly a pretty good time to make some of the leftovers in the fridge into snacks, so she's come with a large beach bag. Aside from a towel and a change of clothes (in case she just so happened to need to get wet, she didn't want the car ride home to be a sandy wet mess), her bag has a decent number of water bottles and chicken salad wraps. She's got the bag open, though the tone of the mission is definitely a lot more different than she expected it'd be.]

Well, it's no relaxing vacation, but there's no point in wasting these. Would you like a wrap?

[She's just going ahead and offering it - some of the more seasick companions might appreciate the water bottles instead.]
grumpei: (wary ∫)

[personal profile] grumpei 2018-02-04 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
[ He turns to look at Astin, not looking particularly reassured. ]

Please tell me you have experience as a lifeguard... or at least know how to stop the boat if someone does go overboard.
blind_badass: (well crap)

[personal profile] blind_badass 2018-02-04 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
...!

[Rather than comment on the person's lament, Snake immediately focuses on the voice. He knows this voice! Specifically, he knows it because there was a memory of someone he recalls that sounds like this person.]
beneathmoonlight: (Uwuuu)

[personal profile] beneathmoonlight 2018-02-04 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
Oh...

[Atsushi would never make fun of someone for their fears, and considering Howard’s explanation for why he feels that way, Atsushi certainly can’t blame him. His expression softens as he kneels down next to Howard.]

That sounds terrible...and I know that going out there might seem intimidating, but you’re not alone.

[Atsushi flashes Howard a smile.]

What if I stayed next to you on the boat? I’m not too terrible at swimming if something does go wrong...

spirithacker: (trojan horse)

[personal profile] spirithacker 2018-02-04 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
No thanks. ...Are they really good?

[Shinji, being a very mature and self-sufficient eight-year-old, does not need random teammates to feed him. He is totally fine with just the one water bottle he grabbed from the fridge.

...the chicken salad wraps look pretty good, though.]
ohrlyeh: (celephais)

[personal profile] ohrlyeh 2018-02-04 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
I know.

[This is....truly eternal suffering. He knows he's not the easiest person in the world to deal with, but surely he hasn't done anything wrong to merit this kind of punishment.]

[He lolls his head to the side to stare at Odasaku, clearly displeased.]


But I mean...do we have to? Maybe if we just...rest here a while...
unreasons: (:Db)

[personal profile] unreasons 2018-02-04 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[ Astin beams. ]

Nope! But as long as we all keep our heads everything should be fine, right?
lienhearts: ([Annoyed] the bleeding)

[personal profile] lienhearts 2018-02-04 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Theo's here as... well, Theo. Mussed brown hair that looks like he hadn't even bothered to run a comb through it before leaving, and an inexpensive but warm coat and gloves.

Good thing, too. The wind chill on the boat is terrible.
]

The sooner this is over with, the better...

[He did at least bring his schoolbag with him, though it's not full of textbooks. Nope, this time he thought to bring a few supplies; change of clothes, flashlight, pocket knife, little necessities in case monsters really do turn out to be a thing again.]
courageofheart: (That's it!)

[personal profile] courageofheart 2018-02-04 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, they're my favorite! Really lean, too. I used the leftovers of my fried chicken and some fresh lettuce, so they're nice and crispy, too!

[She offers him one anyway, beaming brightly.]
ohrlyeh: (celephais)

[personal profile] ohrlyeh 2018-02-04 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
...

[He makes a face, unsure how to respond.]

Thanks for the offer, but...I might get sick on you. Just saying.
