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

I doubt that a production of 'Massive Hog on Ice' would be so graceful!

At the very least, let us see where it is trying to go! Keep your magic at hand as a precautionary measure!

[Spirit, noun: the non-physical part of a person manifested as an apparition after their death; a ghost.

In other words, what they're trying to tell him is that this guy here can see ghosts and there are, in fact, a bunch of them in this place. As his brain struggles to process this new piece of information, Ragna reacts to this development with all the dignity he can muster ─ by letting out a short, high-pitched squeak and immediately jumping to hide behind Akira (which is kind of difficult considering he's a little too tall for that). Apparently disturbing his personal bubble is not much of an issue anymore.]


W-Why the hell would there be s-spirits in here?! Tell 'em to go away!

[Because that's not 100% counterproductive to their objective.]

Painting? No.

But I did bring my sketchbook, and have been able to draft some future projects in our down time.

I see. That's very kind of you, Akira.

[ Oof. There he go, poke retaliation. ]

No? You could always drink water, if you wanted.

[ The last time he was around this much UST he was hanging out with Yosuke at prom during that time they were both trying to convince themselves they didn't have the dokis. ]

I forgot to bring one. Or a spiral - I've been keeping my notes on a phone.

You are both rather overestimating my skill at it! I can manage a wall, or a spear to kill it!

[LISTEN, MAGIC IS HARD, OKAY.]

[ TIME TO PRETEND NONE OF IT IS HAPPENING.

Except he ends up thinking it's at least a little cute, and that's a thought he really doesn't want Sanji to hear, so, enjoy that, Sanji. ]


Just don't push yourself. We don't know how much longer we'll need to be in this place.

[ And the path is long and winding. Even when he was expecting it, he's still a little dismayed by how fast the water from the ice evaporates off his skin and hair. But they make some progress, the thing in the distance slowly resolving itself through the shimmer of the heat into a high tower.

And then the path explodes in a tiny volcanic eruption! Prompting Yu to leap back with a yell. ]

Info here

[All things considered, exploring a haunted lodge is night really the worst thing that could happen. This is better than waiting room hell, at least, and Pen feels a little more prepared for it now that she has some sort of protective gear. Yes, the armor is a little strange, but the soft leather makes her feel stronger and more confident, and that goes a long way towards making this less frightful. Rifle held ready, she marches to the door her team had been tasked with, planting her feet firmly in front of it.]

Okay. I'm ready. Let's get this over with.

[Pushing the door open with the barrel of the gun, she waits for the two of them to give the go ahead before stepping into a completely empty room. Just...empty.]

Huh. Okay...let's see if there's anything actually in here.
feistytrader: (I came here to get shit done)

[personal profile] feistytrader 2018-02-19 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
You can kill it after it tries to kill us, not before!

[Magic is so cool, why is it so selectively useful-]

I won't let you fall, promise!

[ Akira shakes his head. He may be able to see certain things, but spirits and ghosts are definitely not one of them. Of course he isn't much of a believer nor a denier. It still piques his interest seeing as he comes even closer to Keigo to partake in this ritual they might go into.

Just in case, you know? If anything goes back, he will be quick to protect all of them, seeing that Ragna is already losing it. Sorry, buddy, you must come with him if you want to hide.
]

We might luck out if they decide to be cooperative... The spirits might know something about this place and give us some insight. Ask away.

[ Do you need a pet, Ragna? He turns a bit so he can pet him. Shhh. ]

[ Judging by the atmospheric pressure they're high up and there's empty space a ways below their feet- a bridge then. A bridge near clouds? There are cool moist gatherings in the air in places that resemble the sensation of fog whenever they get close. Matt says nothing but can't help an excited smile as he pieces together what their surroundings actually are. As they make their way across the bridge the wolf howls. He turns his head, trying to locate the source of the noise. ]

I can't tell where the wolf is. I don't sense him in any one direction. The sound was too evenly spaced which is... new.

[ Even a ring of carefully spaced speakers turned to the same volume playing a sound would have differences between them. They couldn't be spaced absolutely perfectly nor work at the exact same quality. Ah. Magic and its unnatural perfection. ]

[ eren comes to the conclusion that the older people here are weird. he doesn’t wrinkle his nose in distaste, but listens, keeping his posture and respect for her. still, he can’t help but be a little taken aback: ]

You’ve been aware for eight months?
liberal_arts: (caress me with your sweet lullaby)

[personal profile] liberal_arts 2018-02-20 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
It's almost as if the sound is being projected from a source within our own minds... -Which... made no sense, but hey. They had so little else to work with.-

Regardless, I can see the path diverging up ahead. So we'll need to make a decision... Are we feeling the left or the right, today, gentlemen?
matchbreaker: (Hell Cat!)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2018-02-20 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Since May.

[ Maybe a little before? but her big intro post was May.

May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December, January, February...

Actually, maybe that's more like ten if you count this month and the starting month... ]
maskreant: (pic#11465338)

[personal profile] maskreant 2018-02-20 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
Then the stakes wouldn't be the same. I don't see how that's fair.

[ Akira may not be above cheating, but he does think games should be fair for the most part. ]

Their sobriety is on the line, Yusuke.

[While Soleil's flippant, go-with-the-flow attitude and being inundated with ridiculous supernatural nonsense for months now has left her able to casually accept just about anything that happens to her at this point, stepping through a door only to find herself plummeting through the air is quite possibly the most jarring thing she has experienced in Retrospec so far. Her immediate thought is to hope the clouds break their fall, only for her to remember that is not how clouds work as the trio wooshes through them. Soleil's frantic arm flailing does little to help.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA--

Thankfully(?), Vera, clearly the most aerodynamic(?) of the three, lands before Soleil does. Unfortunately for Soleil's petite princess, Soleil in all her beefiness lands atop her. Orihime follows, the other two providing her a soft-ish landing. Thank goodness none of them are hurt despite all of Soleil's expectations. She lets out her breath in relief and just...lays there. She appreciates the feeling of not falling to her impending death, among other things.

Sandwiched between Vera and Orihime. I've had that fantasy more than once, but this isn't at all what I had in mind.

concasse: (neutral↠ my you have a small penis)

[Sanji wasn't going to press Yusuke into it, he's (surprisingly) not that kind of asshole -- but um he hears that thought, Yu, prompting Sanji to shoot the other a disapproving scowl. WHO IS CUTE? Not him. Definitely not him. Bite his ass, partner.

... That yell, tho. How unsightly. Sanji doesn't even flinch, just glances over Yu's shoulder with a loud, teasing tsk.]


Watch out for any gas or debris. That shit can reach speeds of about 155 miles per hour.

[He says. Casually.

While staring at the path that has been dynamited away.]

[personal profile] maskreant 2018-02-20 01:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ Akira actually has Some Opinions about society, but doesn't think it's worth mentioning in a humorous conversation. He doesn't make it a hassle for her to help him up and he stands tall with his blanket again, wrapped snug around him. ]

Is it sad to say I'm not surprised by the jail result?

[ LOOK AT ZORO DOWN THREE DRINKS. FEELS BAD, MAN. ]
matchbreaker: (The Vision)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2018-02-20 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
To be fair, I'm not either.

[ About the jail. She laughs a little and looks over at them having fun there and she... sighs. She adopts a mildly more sober expression and then thinks better of it, shaking her head. ]

But that's all the more reason this bonding's helpful. It's full of misfits.
heiroglyphs: (why me why now)

[personal profile] heiroglyphs 2018-02-20 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Vera didn't want to be here. She didn't want to come back after being allowed to go home for a day. She didn't want to deal with any more wolves, or magic rooms, or monsters. All she wanted was to spend some quiet time at home, listening to music with a glass of wine.

Instead she's plummeting through the clouds down to who even knows where, screaming her head off all the way down. A well-placed glyph breaks her fall, slowing her down enough to not be harmed, but it doesn't do much when Soleil comes crashing down on her, or Orihime after, leaving the pint-sized heiress flattened under two larger women. At least her Aura is able to protect her from most of the damage, or else she may have been in trouble.

Groaning, Vera squirms, trying to pry herself free from her muscular friend.]


Can you... not be a pervert... for like five minutes?
