TEAM THREE EVENT LOG
|
READY: START. Roster: Minato Arisato + Lalli Hotakainen, Chuuya Nakahara + Kit Fawkes, Yaboku Tomioka + Yukine Matsuoka, Natalie Goodman + Elliot Craig, Mimori Togo + Garfield Logan, Leo Valdez + Dante Rantanen, Souji Narukami + Mako Lou, Futaba Isshiki + Li-Na Yiu, Felicia Kilmassen + Lillian Aust, Eijirou Kirishima + Ann Takamaki, Derek Matthews + Rindou Kuninaga, Kon Ishida + John Becket, Izuku Midoriya + Ami Aihara, James Barnes + John Egbert, Keith Kogane + Shin Asuka On the morning of the fourth at 9am, you'll find yourself gathering near the edge of the woods. Many of you will find yourself partnered up and with a name in mind, and awaiting in front of you is a fine troop of horses and Chocobos alike. Saddled up and ready to go, these creatures know the way and anxiously wait for their riders even if it looks like some of you may need to share. A text comes through not long after, Zee's name attached. Word of advice: feed them before you try to bring them back. They're touchy, but they're smart. They know the way to go and they'll be waiting to bring you back. Following Zee's advice, you'll find yourself on a ride west of the city, traveling through the woods for about two hours. As you travel, first the forest seems to grow darker but then it's brighter as you go. In a way, it almost feels as though you're shrinking as everything around you encompasses the area, but rest assure you remain the same size you always were. The sounds of woodland creatures and soothing streams echo around you, greeting you as you enter a region known as Bosuma.  Bright, airy and open, Bosuma is a forest domain larger than life. Populated with towering trees and overgrown mushrooms, the forest is home mostly to animals from the sound of it and it’s rarely quiet. Chattering birds and the trickles of rivers make up the soundtrack for this area and it will take quite a while to walk anywhere to find some sort of civilization. Everything seems to be existing in peace and harmony in this section of the world and the scent of wildflowers mists through the trees as you walk through. The forest itself seems endless and it would take multiple trips and multiple attempts at making a map to get an idea of how large the area really is. Hollows and burrows pop up every now and then and several mossy areas appear to be the home for several creatures. The creatures, amazingly enough, aren’t afraid of human life and will even willingly approach anyone who wanders into their woods. Rabbits, raccoons, birds (finches and quails, most likely), squirrels and even deer will walk right up to you to greet you. Fish flow with the rivers and turtles and lizards bask themselves on the riverbanks to catch some of the sun shining down through the leaves above. However, even though it’s harder to find signs of civilization in this region it isn’t outright impossible. Some exploration will reveal cottages peppering the woods but people are still strangely absent in these parts. In fact, the cottages look as though they were vacated quickly and in hasty circumstances. Some homes have clothing strewn on the floor while others have fresh fruit and fish gathered and hunted for families. The animals won’t be able to answer any questions you may have, but after some time it becomes obvious they are prone to following human life. As night falls though the animals begin to taper off. Rabbits dart back to their rabbit holes and deer prance off into the thickets of trees. Owls begin to hoot and other nighttime critters stir. The forest continues to glow at night and the mushrooms provide an eerie almost iridescent appeal to the dark. It’s only in the dark that it becomes a bit more obvious that you haven’t been as alone as you’ve thought. The walls have ears and the trees have eyes, and at the stroke of midnight a swirl of magic flows through the air as several dryads step out from the trees, shyly approaching for a meet and greet. They have placed their trust in you. Try not to let them down, will you? This is the Team Three 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 Three is as follows: 3RD: Objective 1 posted (9PM EST) | Threading for Travel to Location | Threading for Objective One | General Network Mingle for Group | General Downtime MingleObjectives 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. |
OBJECTIVE TWO;
However, it's six am when a loud booming bark echoes its way through the forest. Rise and shine, superstars. The dryads are awake and buzzing with excitement. If you listen closely, over the sound of the bark you'll hear what appears to be…panpipes?
The dryads whisper almost frantically, comments about "the huntsman" and "the hunt" filling the air. Under you, bright white lights flare up as magic surges through the ground beneath your feet. The dryads thank the group for scouting and taking care of them, relieved to hear about a certain grove that once had a bear problem. This is where the dryads will move when the moon is high and the forest sleeps.
The easy part is over though and the dryads fully trust you now. They continually cry out in excitement about the return of the huntsman and explain that the huntsman will be the one with the answers. The huntsman will know about this sinister energy infecting their beautiful world and the huntsman will help return the people that have mysteriously vanished.
Somewhere deep in the forest, louder barking can be heard and the sound of several running animals draws closer.
Pack your bags, everyone. You've been invited ("invited") to join the hunt.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: Take a team and travel through the forest following the leylines (the white glowing lines in the dirt) to track down the huntsman and ask for his help.
Here is a suggested list of sub-objectives you can assign sub-groups to in order to complete this objective:
-Path 1
-Path 2
-Path 3
-Path 4
-Path 5
-Path 6
-Path 7
-Path 8
-Path 9
-Path 10
You're free to also specify if you'd rather go monster-heavy or puzzle-heavy or if you're fine with a mix of both! They will be fairly balanced, however, and the higher the number the more complex the objective is.
While you are free to backtag, the bulk of your objective should be completed by the end of 2/14! Another mod comment will go up on 2/15 with more information.
Threads which progress toward this objective should be reported to this toplevel. Your primary objective cannot be completed solo, and will require you to work as a team!
Please comment here with your selections and group members so that the moderators may provide you with information and clear the thread!

path 9 is fine (chuuya, mimori, leo)
Alright, are you two--
[--ready, he means to say, but then there's a rustle of foliage and... a chihuahua in a hat appears. of course it's a chihuahua, why wouldn't it be; that gets a frown from him as he glances down at it, because why couldn't there be a cooler dog...
he leans down to scoop it up, looking it over while it barks and wags its tail happily-- okay. maybe it's kind of cute, for a tiny yappy dog. the hat doesn't hurt.
annnd then it goes in for the kill and licks his nose. fatality. the heartstone tied on to his choker radiates fondness, and alright forget the note on the hat he has to put this dog down and step away from it IMMEDIATELY before he fucking dies
he clears his throat.]
...I guess this guy can come with us.

Path 5: Souji, Futaba, Lillian
[Lillian grinned at the two younger adventurers as she hauled her pack onto her back, shifting a step or so as she adjusted to the weight. Hoo. She had to learn to not over pack. Someday. But she was prepared for anything! Maybe! She hoped.]
How far could it be, right? Maybe we can-
[She cut off as a noise from the underbrush caught her attention, and turned to see a dog slink out of the bushes and pad straight over to the ground, flopping down on the ground next to Souji's fox. Well. Huh.]
Uh. Hey there boy.
[She leaned to see if he'd sniff at her hand, and he did. Then she looked over at Souji and Futaba.]
Either of you missin' a dog?

path 10 : li-na, mako, felicia
Awwwwwwww!!!
[She immediately goes down on one knee to scratch the dog behind his ears. In doing so, she notices the note attached to his collar.]
"Please don't name him "Spot.""
[Li-Na looks straight at Mako]
We should call him Bāndiǎn.
[Literally 'spotted' in Mandarin, using two characters that each mean 'spot'.]

speaking of threats, there's the rustle in the underbrush, and ann stops in front of them. ]
Hold on. Hear that?
[ she creeps closer to the source of the noise, preparing herself for an attack....and then out comes a dog.
a very cute little dog who sniffs her out, then moves over to the other team members. ]
Oh...! Hey there, little guy!

IC GROUP TEXTING WEEK TWO
Sometime before 2/15?
And then there's something about a Legend of the Four Regions.
I don't know how true the legend is, but I do know some of the monsters we've fought had or were being controlled by some kind of dark energy. So...that might be something to worry about.

DOWNTIME WEEK TWO
WEEK 1 INFO SHARING
Minato is quiet throughout all of this, listening attentively and scratching away at a notebook he'd borrowed from somebody, one page a mess of black ink as he jots down everything he hears, and then another page where everything has been organized a little more neatly:
"Dryads: The dryads have lived in the forest for a long time (at least 50 years), and some even used to be human. According to the fairies that live in the forest, the dryads are generally friendly, but the fairies are a little jealous of them. Usually, one favor usually leads to another, and angering the dryads may be dangerous. They note that direct sunlight will damage them, preventing them from traveling all the time. They are intent on finding somebody they revere, called the "Huntsman," who has gone into hiding.
Forest: The forest itself has high magical energy that makes it bright and colorful, with ley lines running through the forest which enhance the magic. These ley lines started becoming poisoned and distorted around 50 years ago, leading to the trees and animals turning evil. In the forest, there are berries that increase one's strength and grants immunity to toxins, which Fawkes will be cultivating more of.
North: Going north, there is a grove of berries, flowers, and saplings where a small group of lost dryad children were found and returned to their parents after a giant turtle blocking the path was moved. The dryad children are new converts to Yatoism. Further along the main path north, it leads to a ring of glowing, iridescent trees, surrounded by giant mushrooms and calming flowers. Now that the bears have been moved, this looks like a good place for the dryads to make their home.
East: There are fire breathing lizards near the river, which wouldn't be safe for the dryads.
South: This path leads to a swamp inhabited by bugs, fish, and poisonous frogs that drain the life out of nearby trees. The mother has been dealt with, but frog eggs are noted to be able to be scrambled to make anti-venom and healing salves.
West: Paths here have been cleared of debris (felled trees, some boulders, a giant 10 foot tall ant hill that was washed away), along with a vine monster that had been corrupted by the sinister energy, revealing the cottages where humans used to live. These humans used to take care of the forest and the creatures in it, and seem to have arrived around 20 years ago judging by the items left abandoned inside the cottages. The humans disappeared suddenly without a trade, which the dryads are concerned about. Claw marks were found on some of the doors, and the wood of other buildings have been corroded. Some of the cottages have been destroyed by an ogre, which is currently tied up but is not dead."
These notes are for people to look through at their leisure to understand better what's going on, but from the unease that comes off Minato's heartstone, he does have questions he'd liked discussed and is sure others do to, along with bringing up any other important information he didn't catch during the discussion.
Do we trust the dryads? Who could this Huntsman be? What caused the sinister energy to take root in the first place, and how do we purify the area? What happened to the people living in the cottages? And most importantly:
Futaba. Steinbeck. You looted the cottages; did you bring back any goods to share? ]

PRETEND ITS LIKE. 2/10 OR 2/11
They're ready to welcome you and invite you to celebrate the return of the huntsman who will be gathering in this place soon. They weren't expecting you so soon, but what's the rush? Now's the time to party, celebrate, and become one with nature!
You can explore the forest paths as you'd like, but you will find you can't go more than a mile in either direction. The satyrs will be more than happy to entertain you with songs, dancing, jokes, and general camaraderie.
The huntsman is never late, but he arrives when he's supposed to.
The satyrs aren't too worried about the animals and in fact the dogs (and cheetah) seem to be familiar with them. Sit back, relax, and enjoy your time as a reward for the hunt.
On 2/14, Valentine's presents will be dropped in this spot, too, and on 2/15 another announcement from the NPC will go up!]

But none of that matters to him. He's out of breath, sweaty, and looks like he's about ready to keel over from exhaustion. The moment he finds a nice patch of grass and flowers? He's collapsing to the ground.]
Ha...ha...W-we made it. [panting as he talks] I dunno what was worse. The monsters...or...the running...
[He's just not gonna move for awhile. The cheetah companion just sits down near him, looking at him as if she's judging.
Alternatively, after he lets himself die for awhile, you might be able to approach him for healing, or just catch him enjoying the Satyr music.]
well for this one pretend it's like 2/12

2/15
So I've been thinking.
You've all done really great so far on assignment and you've helped out where you needed to.
There are some things I need to look into though and instead of keeping you waiting around for a while how would you guys like an intermission?
24 hours. Back to the city for 24 hours, do whatever you want, if you want to come back and finish the assignment you meet back at your original meeting locations and I'll send you back.
I've never hidden the fact that this is all voluntary, but we needed to handle it this way to see what would come up.
Thank you all for your service so far.
If you'd like to stay behind for the 24 hour period, you can. Try not to screw things up while your group is split up.
Can't figure out how to turn off your partner link though, sorry.
Anyway! 24 hours. Enjoy your vacation.
[For the next 24 hours (ICly probably 12pm to 12pm), your characters will be teleported back to the city of Recollé to regroup, grab supplies, see their loved ones and etc. After 24 hours (icly 2/16) your characters will return! This will occur unless you have spoken to us prior about other arrangements. Objective 3 will go up around 9pm EST on 2/16 with assignments going as quickly as possible. Thank you!]

I know there's some people I'd like to see, so I'd appreciate having a day off.

OBJECTIVE THREE;
The satyrs and your dog companions (cheetah included) are in the same place as you left them and when you arrive the area around you remains silent. The creatures in the coven seem to be waiting for something and not long after through the trees comes a centaur, clip-clopping his way up to a position in front of the satyrs. He doesn't speak, however. Instead, he bows and the satyrs (and even the dogs) follow suit as the trees rustle again. Dropping from one of the highest branches comes a young woman in hear early 20s, brown hair held in a braid and armor protecting her. A quiver of arrows remain strapped to her back but the bow is immediately pointed at the group while she assesses. Though the dryads implied the huntsman was a man of some sort, it's fairly clear who's in charge of the situation.
There's a pause before she speaks.
"I would offer congratulations, but the hard part's just starting."
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: Assist the huntsman with her goals, track down the missing people, find the current source of dark energy and purge the forest.
Here is a suggested list of sub-objectives you can assign sub-groups to in order to complete this objective:
-Decide as a group if you're going to rescue the missing people or if you're going to leave them. (for ALL. This does not count as objective participation but will guide how the rest of your objectives go.)
-Split into teams and track the people (2 teams max)
-Follow the leylines and purify them at the roots (2 teams max)
-Head into the swamp where the highest energy reading is. (2 teams suggested)
-Follow the huntsman to take out the nastiest monsters before the darkness spreads (2 teams suggested)
-Wildcard! You're free to suggest a sub-objective and run it by the mod team by replying to this comment. We will decide if it ties into this objective's theme and clear it while providing information
You have until 3/3 to complete your threads! You can backtag if necessary, but ICly your characters will return to the city before or by this date. If all members of your group finish their objectives early, you will return to the city early. Please also remember that once your participation threads are approved by a mod you may claim your two free memories and 10-20 point item/20 points! You can only claim these up to 3/3.
Threads which progress toward this objective should be reported to this toplevel. Your primary objective cannot be completed solo, and will require you to work as a team!
Please comment here with your selections and group members so that the moderators may provide you with information and clear the thread!

MARCH 2ND
Instead, rather, the group will find themselves returning to the main cluster of cottages with the rescued people in tow and two groups from the swamp carrying a metal box and a wrapped parcel that cannot be opened by their touch alone.
As the group settles in for their last day in the forest, the people of the small village are gracious and hospitable. Fires are started, animals are roasted (and some vegetarian options are available for a certain someone though the villagers are a bit perplexed by the idea) and when all is said and done the villagers will begin to explain.
Many years ago when this particular group moved out and away from the city they discovered this forest and have lived here for quite some time. Everything was peaceful and they were making their living on a barter system, exploring the forest, hunting some animals and cultivating the plant life. They're friends with the dryads and several of the other forest spirits and do their best to protect the area.
One day not too long ago (and if asked, they seem to struggle with pinpointing a direct time) they began to notice several of their animal friends acting strangely and the monsters becoming even more malicious than usual. Magic in the forest began to work less and less and soon they realized a darkness had swept the area. Dark magic was being performed in the heart of the forest and so they sent some explorers out to track the source.
When the group came back, they told a tale of a beautiful woman who lived in the swamp but remained shrouded in the dark energy. When the group failed to join her, the woman revealed herself to be a swamp witch, powerful enough to curse the forest itself to be infected for years to come and for the lifespan of that group to shorten.
The group exploded into dust not long after.
The swamp witch remains hidden in the forest even now and has vowed to get rid of all who aren't worthy of her power and lock away anyone who has seen her. The swamp witch is the one who held all of the prisoners hostage and hid them from sight the moment she got wind of someone new poking around the forest a few months ago.
The villagers will relay that the forest is even bigger than this group's managed to cover and they've only uncovered the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. It's dense with trees and plants and monsters, and it's why they can't find the witch now.
While this is happening, the Huntswoman and her centaur linger and draws her attention to the box and the parcel. She takes them and begins to open them, unveiling a few things.
In the parcel is a scabbard and a sword, faintly glowing and the Huntswoman looks briefly alarmed. Though she doesn't know anything of Retrospec or what they're doing, she recognizes the rabbit on the hilt and speaks highly of the Lady Knight. The sword remains in her possession to be further examined, especially given that the tip is crackling with power.
The box, however, has something more unusual.
Inside the box are diagrams of the city of Recollé including a picture that almost looks similar to this format. At the center is the city of Recollé and the rings moving outward are labeled in small, cursive handwriting.
The first ring: "Awareness. Sense of something amiss, though easily explained away as things as they've always been. Meant to preserve order and balance from those who are not under reconstruction."
The second ring: "Awakening. An understanding that life as you know it may not be as it appears, the first portion of recreation and reconstruction. The full ability to see the first layer."
The third ring: "Enlightenment. Beginning to reconstruct as soul energy grows and flourishes. Retrieval of original form. Abilities begin to form and changes begin to occur."
The fourth ring: "Exploration. The ability to further see and explore areas outside of the safe haven/hub. Souls just beginning reconstruction will be too fragile to explore far.
Solution: stabilization."
The fifth ring: "Expansion. The full purpose of the project begins to expand in this layer and allows for an overlay."
The other rings appear to be unlabeled so far.
In addition, they will find what appears to be a few items including what appears to be a vial of white, wispy smoke tinged with pink, another vial of black smoke, a map of Recollé in its early years and a full map of where Pesgare, Respatrum Bosuma, and Magatus are in relation, more unlabeled areas outside of that to indicate Retrospec's boundary lines, and a report from G. Mahoney.
Most of the report appears to be written in an unidentifiable language and attached are charts indicating projected soul reconstruction times, distances to travel, and a few notes that are written in English.
Everything else is written in the same unreadable language.
It appears as though the sword and the box have been hidden in the forest to prevent anyone else from finding them before now. The huntswoman will keep the sword, but the box may be kept.
On 3/2 a text message from Zee will hit everyone's phones.
With that, it doesn't take long for a group of horses and chocobos to appear (some pulling carts behind them) to bring everyone back home. Thank you for your time with the Recollé Restoration Initiative. Goodbye.
