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

[jesus he didn't want this.

he raises a brow at zoro's threat more than he did at wesker's statement and even for all his understanding of the place it's coming from, there's still a thought flashing in his own head that zoro can probably pick up on because baren very specifically doesn't want him to hear it: you don't have to make enemies for me.

but he'd very much like to move on now.

so for wesker and keigo, there's just a slight, nonchalant wave of his hand. he's not offended, kindly drop the subject before friendly fire becomes an issue. instead he just looks at the flask and tilts his head]


I mean, if we've got nothing better. [a glance to keigo and wesker now - or are they really just left with trying to get the wolves drunk]
loudmouths: (🌟 hindsight is bullshit)

[personal profile] loudmouths 2018-02-11 06:56 am (UTC)(link)

[ keigo bristled at wesker's words, mostly because they were true and he couldn't argue them. at most, he offered up a frustrated grunt before shoving his hands into the pockets of his coat, then into his pants pockets. looking for food, presumably. ]

...Fuck. I got nothin'.

[ he didn't like this plan... it was a bad idea. but what else could they do to appease the pack? sing songs?? keigo wasn't doing that. booze it was, unless wesker had anything to offer. ]

manufactured: (007. you've only spent)

[personal profile] manufactured 2018-02-11 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
[...you know, on the one hand he's kind of annoyed with all of you for wandering into the woods with zero provisions whatsoever

on the other hand, he's fucking undead does he look like he eats anything on a regular basis

this is a terrible idea but let's get the wolves sloshed, why the fuck not; maybe we'll get a twofer and they'll eat zoro, who knows.]
stopbleeding: (wPIRPE)

[personal profile] stopbleeding 2018-02-11 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
[zoro honestly thought wesker was holding out some jerky in that massive supply he's got there but.

he shrugs.
]

... Booze it is.

[which means... he's stepping forward, right? he glances around to check with everyone before just going through. crouches down in front of all of them and takes a sake cup from his jacket. placing it on the ground, he fills it and whistles. then glances back, still crouched.]

Any of you know how to call a dog?
crudest: (♚ poko huff)

[personal profile] crudest 2018-02-11 07:16 am (UTC)(link)
[at this exact moment the whistle calls tanuki instead, who is shuffling back in the snow without boose. this will be relevant in a second.

but regardless the wolves are vaguely interested in the alcohol. one moves forward to lap at it and it seems that for like all of 4.7 seconds, all is well and they have achieved peace.

after that, there's the puff of green smoke and suddenly in the place of a tipsy wolf, there is instead this big fella. it howls once, loudly, menacingly and makes a swipe at zoro while he's glanced back before picking him up and just

fucking taking off further into the forest along with the rest of the wolves

bye bitch!!!!!!!]

[personal profile] stopbleeding 2018-02-11 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
[all that can be heard from zoro as he disappears in a giant wolf's fist is a slightly muffled:]

YOU BROKE MY CUP!

[indeed, as the wolves retreat into the woods with zoro, the poor sake cup lies shattered on the ground.]
crudest: (♚ EMOTIONALLY CONSTIPATED)

[personal profile] crudest 2018-02-11 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
[zoro your fucking priorities suck ass

anyway that whistle came in handy because there sure is a sudden giant tanuki barreling through the snow. he pauses for a second because that's the shouty human being taken away by a hulk wolf? that's so weird why are humans so weird.

but baren is now ignoring the fallen shards of the cup and jumping on the tanuki with nO SEEMING CONCERN FOR ANYONE ELSE]


HEY! FURRY FUCKFACE, THAT'S MY SHITHEAD, GET YOUR OWN!

[and he's taking off on the tanuki.

for comedy's sake, we can say that boose has returned if keigo and wesker want to ride a fucking moose to catch up]
stopbleeding: (dWEDSPJXLA)

[personal profile] stopbleeding 2018-02-11 07:34 am (UTC)(link)
he only has booze, his clothes and his two swords does that matter if it doesn't don't respond

ilu
loudmouths: (🌟 OH GOD WHAT ARE YOU DOING)

[personal profile] loudmouths 2018-02-11 07:34 am (UTC)(link)

[ why does everything happen all the time.

but seriously, keigo could barely follow what had just happened in the past fifteen seconds. a giant wolf materialized and stole zoro and now baren was riding a giant tanuki, and...?!?!?!?! ]


O-oi!! Hey!!

[ you motherfucker, baren... well, keigo was nothing if not just as impulsive as baren was, so his instinct was to not try to jump on top of the gigantic beast that was the moose and instead to start running after them.

because y'know. regains or not, that's totally gonna work out for him. ]

manufactured: (029. no salvation no forgiveness)

[personal profile] manufactured 2018-02-11 08:00 am (UTC)(link)
[...oh my god BAREN GET BACK HERE WE NEED SOMEBODY TO NPC THIS MOOSE-

okay.

so.

you know what.

every single one of you is insane. fortunately for everyone here, wesker quite likes insane. it's a great trait to have in a party of human beings.

that said, keigo ain't looking so hot even with the regains and like hell if wesker is jumping on a moose because he has dignity and perhaps more importantly he has the capability of running a one-minute mile and a half because thanks for being stupid, umbrella chronicles.

as such, he is booking it after baren, and as he catches up with keigo he'll do him the courtesy of just kind of. grabbing him and picking him up like the princess he is, just full fucking bridal carry like wesker's trying to be legitimately cool or something, when we are all being the exact polar fucking opposite of cool here.

because someone in our party has gotten kidnapped and apparently the only thing you guys find acceptable to let die out here is our dignity.

try not to squall too much, keigo.



...is boose coming

hopefully boose can read a room and is coming with]

I LIED HERE'S ANOTHER QUESTION WHERE ARE THE WOLVES EVEN TAKING ZORO FOR OUR OWN NPC-ING PURPOSES
matchbreaker: (On to the new ones!)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2018-02-11 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
Does the vanishing of all the wolves into one include the puppies?

Also how cold or warm is the cave will we want to try to make a fire?
crudest: (♚ his hair got messed up)

[personal profile] crudest 2018-02-11 08:06 am (UTC)(link)
[please assume for the rest of this thread that boose is like merrily trotting about 30 feet behind because he's in no rush and can follow footprints to trail after where his human charges went. he's a happy moose. he does not need to be included in this shitfest. off he goes!




meanwhile baren is just improvising like a motherfucker because giving chase was both the first and last thing on his mind (it was the only thing on his mind)]


Fucking idiot can decimate a golf course but he can't win an arm wrestling contest against a fucking wolf, what kind of halfassed superpowers—

[and he'll just move with some unfair anime balance to just stand on top of his tanuki as he barrels through the goddamn snow, as if contemplating the wisdom of just. jumping on hulk wolf. that might be what he's doing. someone tell him no. please let there be a god.]
loudmouths: (🌟 YOU'RE a euphemism)

[personal profile] loudmouths 2018-02-11 08:15 am (UTC)(link)

[ keigo was nothing if not determined, when he wanted to be. he might not have known zoro, but there was a difference when you witnessed someone getting stolen versus just hearing about it. his empathy worked in mysterious ways.

so he was Determined to keep up somehow, not even realizing he might have been running faster than he ever had before. maybe it was just adrenaline or something. hm. well, the fact remained that he hadn't even thought about wesker until he felt the sudden jerk against his arm. ]


—?!

[ a sound of confusion left his lips before he was literally hoisted into the air and carried by wesker himself.

what the fuck.

what the fuck!!

it wasn't even a respectable sack of potatoes carry or a piggy back, it was a goddamn bridal carry. he never asked for this. who would ask for this??? this was hell. keigo's face turned red out of his own shame for being treated like a child and/or girl, and also a good part was because of how loudly he started to yell as a result: ]


WHAT THE HELL!! PUT ME DOWN!!

[ no, wait, don't. that was probably a bad idea, with how fast wesker was running.




what does he even hold onto????? ]

after discussion, the details aren't enough to persuade anyone in the group, but they will not engage in combat. will the wolf be hostile and attack?

also, if they offer it a bunch of meat (Akira will continue to offer mutant fish remains to everyone and everything), will it change their situation in any way?
