TEAM FOUR EVENT LOG

MAGATUS
READY: START.

Roster: Noah Isaacs + Gunther Schwarz, Gintaro Suzukaze + Elda Marker, Dave Strider + Byakuya Kirigiri, Shouto Todoroki + Akira Kurusu, Eren Jaeger + Yusuke Kitagawa, Soleil Beaufort + Vera Weisz, Alessandro Vinsmoke + Yu Narukami, Cleo Ritter + Minako Arisato, Penelope Raban + Olive Freya Yun, Orihime Inoue + Matthew Murdock, Ryouta Ono + Baren Kaiyou, Prompto Argentum + Keigo Higashino, Zaveid Taleb + Ragna Edgson, Amelia Wagner + Kasen Kaneda


On the morning of the fourth at 9am, you'll find yourself gathering at the Recollé Zoo and Aquarium. Many of you will find yourself partnered up and with a name in mind, and awaiting in front of you is a large bus with the Retrospec logo on the hood. A text comes through not long after, Zee's name attached.

I'm no Ms. Frazzle, but I think this bus will do the trick. Hope you packed a book or something.


Upon boarding the bus you'll find that's it's equipped for a longer road trip. There are snacks, books, video game consoles, and even a few beds and bathrooms. Just as well, seeing how you're going to be traveling north of the city, traveling through the woods for about seven hours. As you travel, the sky begins to change colors and the temperature drops toward the end of your journey. Outside the window you'll see a mountain range and snow on the ground, and stars streak across the sky as you enter the beautiful region of Magatus.



Permanently semi-dark with beautiful colors streaking across the sky, Magatus is filled with rivers, grass, coniferous trees and snow-capped mountains. The temperature is quite frigid, so travelers will need to bundle up!

The region known as Magatus is fairly open and while there may not a huge population like Recollé, there are small clusters of buildings and homes that characters can find by exploring this region. There is roughly 1,500 square miles to cover in the area claiming to be Magatus and some parts of this region may experiences changes in weather including heavy snow, ice, and blackouts.

Most of the towns are quaint and friendly though most people appear to mind their own business. If spoken to, they will explain that they’ve been enjoying their time alone and away from the hustle and bustle of city life, though it may be a little hard to know if this is actually true. Some of the younger ones will say they’ve lived here their whole life, but most will shy away from the topic of where they came from. Shops that can be found seem to range in the realm of basic general stores, hardware stores, mini foodmarts, and weaponry. The Magatus people truly live a simple life.

The true nature of this region doesn’t seem to come out until nightfall, however. As the light fades and the sky darkens, the colors brighten above and the sound of wolves begin howling nonstop. Depending, you may even hear the sound of snarling and growling, quick footsteps crunching through fresh snow and irritated barking. The townspeople know better than to stay out at night when the wolves run and the shadows dance, and they would advise that anyone from out of town take cover.

Too bad they won’t invite you in. You’re on your own out in the wilderness.


This is the Team Four 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 Four is as follows:
Feb 3rd: Objective 1 posted (9PM EST) | Threading for Travel to Location | Threading for Objective One

[Vera's going to try her best to drown out the ridiculousness of playing charades with werewolves. They're flopping around in the snow and shaking their fur, it would almost be cute if they hadn't been growling at her moments ago.]

You sure that's what they want? What if they want the teeth of their dead friend? The bullets might piss them off.
complementing: (✿ something's wrong here [ FORNEUS ])

[Minako nods and steps forward, kneeling in the snow and patting her lap.]

C'mere, Korochan. What's going on?

[Koromaru runs back to her, pacing up and down in front of her and then looking back towards the wolves, his body half-turned towards them. His new friends have very quickly finished their snack, and backing away from the group, dash off further down the path.

Minako watches them go, watches Koromaru watch them go, and the two look at each other for a moment before she nods.]


They want us to follow them.

[Koromaru yips and turns to run off after the wolves. Minako yelps and scrambles to her feet.]

Let's go!
belligerentwarrior: (Is that it?)

[personal profile] belligerentwarrior 2018-02-13 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
[Freya snorts.]

"Hey look! We might've killed your friends!" Like that wouldn't tick 'em off either. Crapshoot either way, if you ask me.

[personal profile] glaciers 2018-02-13 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Don't laugh at a barking man. Don't do it. Do your best to not do that. Wolves can't normally talk, don't make it self conscious!

But the part where it looked like him, and admitted that it's losing control. That's what makes him sure he wants to help the wolf. So he nods.

The wolf shifts back into Shouto. "The region."]


I'll help.

[ It's a good eggplant. Why don't they realize it??

Orihime really wants to go say "hi" to the puppies. But she doesn't go any farther than Soliel does, partially for her own good and mostly for the good of the babies. ]


They're so cute! They just wanted food and their parents wanted to take care of them...

[ But she notices it too. The one puppy, now full, gives a little yip before it turns into smoke and disappears into a dark corner. ]

...It's gone??
mincingminuet: <user name=axiometric> (...eh?)

[personal profile] mincingminuet 2018-02-13 02:48 am (UTC)(link)
[Pen shrugs and roots through her pockets until she finds the bullets.]

We can't exactly use these though. May as well try that first.

Let's see.

[She telekinetically moves them over to Shiva, who offers them out.]

cattack: (>:T)

[personal profile] cattack 2018-02-13 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
You can understand...?

[She sighs, and shakes her head.]

Right. Quickly.

[She wishes she had her bike here... But without that, she just has to follow.]
heiroglyphs: (let me ponder how much you suck)

[personal profile] heiroglyphs 2018-02-13 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
I hope you know what you're doing.

[She'll just take a step back, just in case.]
rebellions: (keyword #7770885)

[personal profile] rebellions 2018-02-13 02:57 am (UTC)(link)
... Just so y'all know, the last time we followed one of those we ended up fighting Godzilla.

[It's too fresh in his mind not to bring it up, if only to make sure they don't let their guard down even with the wolves being surprisingly friendly.

Still, it's not like they have any choice in the matter, so Ragna follows the others without further complains.]
mincingminuet: (Gasp)

[personal profile] mincingminuet 2018-02-13 03:13 am (UTC)(link)
[Pen works methodically, doing her best to pull the boards free, doing her best to ignore the sound of the ever-closer howls. It isn't easy, but it gets done.

The sharp stab of alarm strikes Pen much more quickly than the sight her partner has unearthed. She blinks, stepping back, taking a heartbeat to steel herself before looking into the hole. Surprise shifts to worry, and her attention tears itself from the skull to Freya.

Hell. She shouldn't have to see this.

Moving, she grabs the taller woman from behind and tugs her backwards, or rather tries, making a deliberate effort to pull her attention away and onto herself.]


We should get moving.
belligerentwarrior: (Believe in Lady Luck now?)

[personal profile] belligerentwarrior 2018-02-13 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
[When Shiva holds the bullets out in offering, the lead wolf skulks forward cautiously, head lowered. It lingers briefly, before reaching out to grasp one in its teeth before darting back. The rest of the group repeats this, one by one, until they're gathered just out of easy sight, looking back at the squad.]

[The lead wolf barks awkwardly around the bullet, then trots deeper into the forest, the others following at that same easy pace.]


...Huh. Wonder what that was about. [What did they need silver for, anyway? Freya takes a breath and lowers the spear.] C'mon. Let's find out.

[And trails after the wolves.]
matchbreaker: (Adam West Show)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2018-02-13 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
I think we should probably try with he adult ones some more, after all, there was that theory about the werewolves--

[ Which they'll probably eventually get a Shiva message about but for now...

Yeah that's. One puppy gone, and another one turning wispy too. That's- ]


... They're still eating, aren't they?

[ None of the adult wolves seem to alarmed, though. ]
stopbleeding: (dWEDSPJXLA)

[personal profile] stopbleeding 2018-02-13 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
[zoro's close enough now that he can be involved in the thread. which he re-enters by merely raising a hand in greeting.]

Yo.

[he is very much unhurt, his chest and head poking out of the wolf's fist. his hair's messed up and his clothing's ruffled but. yeah. he's pretty fine.] Woah. Wasn't expecting all of you. [that's nice, if extremely surprising. anyway, he looks towards keigo after hearing his observation.]

This sure doesn't feel like an illusion.

[still, he glances back at the wolf keigo pointed out, holding up a finger to tell baren and wesker to wait on diplomacy. he's got a question he wants to know first. facing the unique wolf, he nods while asking a question.]

Hey, you're the special one, right? Wanna tell me why I got special not-dead-right-now treatment?
mincingminuet: (*Cracks Fingers*)

[personal profile] mincingminuet 2018-02-13 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
[Pen watches in...well, it's not quite amazement but it's close. She's impressed, wolves. That was clever. And now they're without any thing like silver, but she's pretty sure they can take the werewolves out anyway.]

Yeah.

[She moves after the others, casting Float to make sure they don't lose the wolves in snow.]

Right behind you!
feistytrader: (listening in)

[personal profile] feistytrader 2018-02-13 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
It's a pawmise.

[...I didn't mean to say that out loud.]

Promise.

[Just because the grown man wolf barked doesn't mean that he can respond in humorous kind. Do wolves even have a sense of humor? Maybe that's a question for when the situation is a little less dire.]

Can you show us the way?
heiroglyphs: (is it also a gun?)

[personal profile] heiroglyphs 2018-02-13 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
[Wow, if Vera wasn't mostly sure that those dogs are actually human, she'd be pretty impressed. Being without the silver bullets now was a bit worrying, but she's sure she'll be okay. Her rapier probably has some silver in it somewhere. No worries.

And then Pen floats Vera above the snow for the first time tonight and it's honestly a very strange feeling. It's sort of like being on the ground, but not touching the ground? Also when she stands still she sort of bobs, and she's going to try not to do that anymore because its kind of making her nauseous. It takes a couple steps to get her balance, but she's catching up to the others soon enough.]

[ The wolf nods before taking its original shape, prancing out and looking back at them before letting out a howl. It compels them to follow it before disappearing into smoke, leaving a trail of footprints in the snow.

Okay. Akira has been doing his best; his face is neutral as ever. However, that only lasts five seconds before he sputters and laughs a bit.
]

Nice paws there, Silver.

[ He switches his view using the Third Eye— ]

We have a long road ahead of us... good thing I unloaded all my fish.
glaciers: (80)

[personal profile] glaciers 2018-02-13 03:59 am (UTC)(link)
[Shouto takes this moment to look annoyed at both Silver and Akira. But no, there's a tiny quirk of his lips and a very soft laugh.]

We'd better start. It could be a ruff journey.
blessmefather: (I HAVE)

[personal profile] blessmefather 2018-02-13 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
[ Boys no, stop it! The vigilante is trying not to become the first to laugh but shoot he honestly loves bad jokes. He adjusts his bag on his back so it's more comfortable. ]

Anybody need something to eat? Or a bone to chew on?

[ Should he be making jokes while in costume? He didn't expect this much socializing when he signed up for the mission. ]
crudest: (♚ poko poko again)

[personal profile] crudest 2018-02-13 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
[why do i keep having to NPC creatures that don't actually have words to express themselves

anyway the wolf is just going to give a growling noise at that - not exactly menacing, but it's not like he's capable of actually talking. there's a vague whining noise at keigo's accusation because apparently the magic isn't meant to be a bad thing necessarily. so instead there's just a shake of his big body as the other wolves move to approach the rest of the party now that they show less aggression.

Baren sheathes his knife and hops off of Tanuki to get closer, but he doesn't wander too far from the youkai's side just in case.]


So they definitely understand human language.

Hey Z, ask what they want from us.

[And I'll decide if I want to give it is his thoughts but - that's just what bargaining with Baren sounds like.]
feistytrader: (chillin like a. protag.)

[personal profile] feistytrader 2018-02-13 05:18 am (UTC)(link)
We can eat later. Better to not lose the trail.

[...The magical paw prints. Can they lose the paw prints? He doesn't want to find out and gets moving.]

I think we can safely say that its bark was worse than its bite. Isn't that right, Head Woof?

[...He's looking directly at sir vigilante as he says this-]
glaciers: (78)

[personal profile] glaciers 2018-02-13 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Shouto doesn't add more to the punnery going around, but he does start following the trail. He's doing his best to fight off laughter. But it's pretty poor going, he's practically shaking as tries to hold it in.]
blessmefather: (I HAVE)

[personal profile] blessmefather 2018-02-13 05:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ Head Woof. He bites his lip but it's obvious despite having half his face covered that he's losing a fight against a smile and the laughter that would follow. He practically clenches his teeth as he forces out his response. ]

Alright. Food will wait for now, 'til then no complaining if your stomach growls. We'll see howl long this journey takes.

[ If they want to smack him over the head for that one he'll understand. ]
maskreant: (pic#11519601)

[personal profile] maskreant 2018-02-13 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
Don't worry about the trail, go ahead and wolf things down.

[ Akira can see the little paws glow whenever he shifts to the Third Eye. He follows without issues and takes the lead to keep the pressure off his team, though he does look through his bag for some snacks for himself.

He has nothing to say. Instead, he passes some riceballs to everyone.
]
feistytrader: (listening in)

[personal profile] feistytrader 2018-02-13 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
[...He's not entirely sure what's going on, but Akira seems to have things handled though squinting quite a bit. It's impressive.]

I'm sure you can sniff out any trouble.

[Which is all he gets in before beginning to rapidly devour his damn riceball. He's made an excellent choice in best friends. What better of a friend than one who provides food? He smiles briefly, almost content to eat in silence, but a nagging concern means he feels the need to pipe up and ask-]

Is everyone alright?

[While their failures weren't yelled out to them for very long, even the lighter mood and food can't keep them entirely out of his mind.]
