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.

manufactured: (002. we burn and coil like cigarettes)

Well, if they cause anything to collapse on us that's going to be mildly inconvenient, but I doubt they'll bring anything down on themselves.

[I mean, maybe they will. They're just sheep, after all.

There is just. So much sighing here before he decides to try to wander up toward the ram's head just to get a decent idea of exactly where they're headed. ...Don't worry, he's not going to fall.]
belligerentwarrior: (Enough of this!)

[personal profile] belligerentwarrior 2018-02-23 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
[Freya recovers her footing quickly enough, and not to be outdone by Gilgamesh, charges the beast-skulled skeleton without hesitation, pushing it back with wide, sweeping strikes.]

[The tonberry's lantern makes a huge difference, but still, Freya's getting sick of fighting in the dark.]
usurpers: (nothing to see here it)

[personal profile] usurpers 2018-02-23 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
[ fallen and immediately scampering back to his feet with amelia’s help (he thanks her, quickly), eren watches with a raging pulse, drumming in his ears as the rush in him rises. he wasn’t afraid, perhaps only naturally startled and on edge.

this wasn’t like magnus. magnus waited. the beast waits much less as it pins its head back and strikes the air the dragon glides on. there’s no discussion, and the terms are made clear; it hides its tail from them, in the light flickering a bright gem with the mark of an animal’s paw.

eren draws his blades, more natural than the harpoon and less devistating than a shift— he feels the stakes rise and his resolve harden into a monster itself, one that’s prepared to fight by all means necessary. if they needed a titan, he’d renounce this stance, but for now . . .

he prepares to take to the air, ready to join minako and calling back to amelia. ]


We got our answer! [ there was no hesitation here. the serpent’s intentions were primal and clear, and with a snap from his wire’s to the snake’s hide, compressed air shoots him forward in an airborn dance. ] The key’s right there!

[ whether it’s eren’s sheer force or the aftershock of emotional burst from his heartstone, it’s fiery, fierce and available to all that need the intense boost: fight! ]
sivard: (☁ another chance only seems fair)

[personal profile] sivard 2018-02-23 01:41 am (UTC)(link)
[He still hasn't remembered enough about combat to make this really useful, but at least the invisibility makes this a bit easier, because the skeleton is wildly swinging at where he was.

He darts between each skeleton, unable to make a grab for the gem; even with him invisible, the skeletons are quickly passing it between themselves.]
glaciers: (8)

[personal profile] glaciers 2018-02-23 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
[He's pretty sure he's never run into an actual dragon before. Or at the very least, he's never remembered it. It's hard to say if this is really going to give them much cover, but it's certainly better than dealing with the cliffs.

... Unless they fall through clouds, because Shouto's not sure any of them can fly.]
crudest: (♚ what a happy face)

[personal profile] crudest 2018-02-23 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
[zoro live your own goddamn life. baren is definitely just going to head inside with boose?? and inside they'll find that the castle is still super made of ice. and ice skating around is totally a thing?

they'll probably meet up somewhere in the middle

until then baren is having the time of his life, boose in tow]
mincingminuet: (Stuff It!)

[personal profile] mincingminuet 2018-02-23 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
[And that leaves Pen with the third, the ugly one that looks like it might have some skin. Her gun ups the noise level when it goes off, a sharp crack as a Wyrmfire round sends the skeleton reeling backwards. Working the bolt, she keeps her distance, moving to make the fireball it's holding less easy to aim.

Gil just goes to work, swords clashing with the solitary human skeleton, forcing it back, away from Zaveid and the girls, trying to isolate it to finish it off.]
stopbleeding: (dWEDSPJXLA)

[personal profile] stopbleeding 2018-02-23 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
[yeah, once they get down from the window, zoro's definitely gonna try and skate on the bannisters and only the bannisters.

what was the mission again?
]
parodeity: (Default)

[personal profile] parodeity 2018-02-23 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ who knows!!!

but looks like it's icebug time.

dave is like, floating above the floor still (fuck ice) and mostly seems to be looking around curiously, and he might not immediately flag them as dangerous.

or at least he'll watch moreso at first ]
crudest: (♚ does he just look)

[personal profile] crudest 2018-02-23 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
[guess they're gonna meet at the bottom flower of a room with a banister, baren definitely just gliding around like an asshole even as he looks for clues.

icebug may or may not be a clue. he tilts his head in confusion for a second before reaching up into his hair, plucking out a random chocobo feather that he uses for decoration and tossing it in the direction of an icebug.]


Are they gonna kill us—

[the icebug touches a feather. it slowly begins to form into a block of ice.]

.... Hm.

I'll take that as a maybe.
smothershadow: (Dragon--because fire ig)

[personal profile] smothershadow 2018-02-23 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
[An answer that extinguished any doubts in her mind. Amelia saw Minako--and another dragon--streaking away into the sky as the serpent lunged, and Eren took off much like he had when she first left humanity behind. The choice was simple--fight, or commit to uselessness.

And Amelia did not choose irrelevance.

She didn't need to reach very far to find that chaotic beast in her mind. Like it was a second skin, an old friend--a shadow at her feet. Just a touch, one thought connecting another--and Amelia's human form smoldered away into white light, one bipedal form burning away into another. One that expanded and rose, until her many-horned head crested the roofs of the houses. Barely so--and it was nothing compared to the serpent.

It didn't stop her from roaring at the monster, wings flared high to make herself larger, more noticeable. Pay no mind to the hooks in your hide or the beast in the air, your opponent was here.
]
belligerentwarrior: (GRAN Pulse)

[personal profile] belligerentwarrior 2018-02-23 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Unfortunately with invisibility, Freya can't tell where Zaveid is, and can't maneuver the skeleton towards him. She skirts around it, trying to get a good angle to push it back towards Gil's skeleton, but the beast-thing grabs the haft of the Zodiac Spear.]

[Instead of wrestling for the spear, Freya lets go, booting the creature as had as she can in the chest, sending it tumbling across the ragged floor.]
sivard: (☁ feeling bad what you did)

[personal profile] sivard 2018-02-23 02:21 am (UTC)(link)
[It's fortunate Zaveid is capable of staying out of the way, because he spots the gem just in time in the crevice of the chest of the beast skeleton as it skids across the floor, rushing over to snatch it out of the creature.

While Zaveid might not be visible, the skeleton is certain aware of when its guarded treasure is removed, because it lets out an unearthly scream.]


I think that's our cue!
mincingminuet: (Wha?)

[personal profile] mincingminuet 2018-02-23 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
[Gilgamesh laughs wildly and brings all six of his enormous swords down on the smallest skeleton, crushing it into powder. The fireball skeleton snarls and launches herself at where Zaveid was and that gives Pen a chance to get a second shot off, striking it square in one leg and sending it to the ground.]

Right! Run! While we got them down!
belligerentwarrior: (Chasing shadows)

[personal profile] belligerentwarrior 2018-02-23 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
[While they're down is the best time to finish the bastards off, before they can go get friends; Freya looks hesitant to disengage, but after a watchful moment, she snatches the spear and darts off, scooping the tonberry under an arm so she could see where she was running.]

Gil! Guard the rear!
sivard: (☁ what to do)

[personal profile] sivard 2018-02-23 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
[He might not know what the summoned spirits actually are-- or if that's what they are, but Zaveid can't help but feel extremely grateful for Gil's apparent love of battle, because it sure looks like they're going to get out of here, gem and all.

He chances a glance behind him to see Gilgamesh still looking thrilled as he runs as quickly as possible out of the room, before the skeletons have a chance to go after them.]
stopbleeding: (FEOIGCX)

[personal profile] stopbleeding 2018-02-23 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
[zoro's somewhere near wherever boose is, arms crossed and watching the bug freeze over the feather.]

Doesn't look like it's hostile or anything. Could we just avoid them?
mincingminuet: (Jogging)

[personal profile] mincingminuet 2018-02-23 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Pen moves back, reloading as she does, watching the rear as she disengages. The skeletons are seeming to reform, reattaching parts, but they're not quick about it.

Tons, in Freya's arms, wriggles around so he can watch the rear too, holding his lantern high.]


Gil! Do it!

[The six armed creature does as instructed, looking for all the world like some Hindu god of the end times. He's taking his time, blocking the whole hallway, setting his blades as the gang rounds a corner and gets out of sight.]

Keep going! I can banish him from anywhere.
complementing: (✿ keep up the pressure [ DOMINION ])

[personal profile] complementing 2018-02-23 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
[The serpent sees Amelia's challenge and literally rises up out of the sea to meet her, screeching out its fury in response. Its tail disappears into the depths of the sea, and the rest of it surges forward, jaws unhinged, snapping at her multiple times from every angle it can get at to find her weakness. The audacity of this insignificant dragon, these skittering nuisances, trying to oppose it and steal its gem away!

Up in the air, Minako curses under her breath as she watches the key go down into the water. Kartikeya is obviously the best choice for striking at this sea snake, but she doesn't want to risk electrocuting Eren, either. She needs to focus her attacks on it away from the water. With a word from his summoner, Samael zips back to where her airborne companion is.]


I'll help Amelia keep it busy and try to draw out its tail! You go for the key!

[A gunshot to the head, and then her dragon disappears into blue shards of light beneath her, leaving her free-falling in the air for half a second until a giant peacock and its rider burst into existence and catch her on its back. They dive bomb down, sending a ream of lightning strikes down right on the crown of its head enough to make it spasm.]
liberal_arts: (someday I will fuck your parents)

[personal profile] liberal_arts 2018-02-23 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
-Kasen wasn't certain they could go any further, and in his fit of anger, he jumped to the conclusion that they couldn't. And what's worse, the anger fueled the part of him that *relished* that idea. He turned about, drawing his sword and giving a wild-eyed, defiant stare at the monster behind them.-

Alright, then! If I can't run, then I'll have my revenge for that indignity, you behemoth!

Present your neck!

-Someone had better find them a path, and quickly.-
matchbreaker: (Anxiety Works)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2018-02-23 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
[ That's because it was. She sighs a little, shaking her head and wondering when it was she started to give "strong" answers to everything to have someone call her out to a weak one. ]

I don't like the idea of calling it selfish. I think it's just a mater of compatibility.
matchbreaker: (Captain Marvel)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2018-02-23 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ Good idea, she'll keep spider-crawling to do the same thing. And they're definitely heading to some new rocks.

... Rocks?

... moving rocks? ]
sivard: (☔ then you'll see)

[personal profile] sivard 2018-02-23 04:05 am (UTC)(link)
[Still invisible, Zaveid keeps the gem close to him, not wanting to drop it, not now. With how dark it is, they probably wouldn't get much of a chance to grab it before the horde comes rushing after them.

But run he will, and eventually, it seems like the skeletons give up their pursuit, and he stops to catch is breath, rubbing at the side of his head.]


Damn, those guys were persistent. This must be a powerful artifact.

[It does seem to have its own light source, though eventually the sounds from below catch his attention, as he approaches the side of the chasm, careful not to get too close to the edge.]

...Is there some kind of battle going on down there?
liberal_arts: (they were okay at some point)

[personal profile] liberal_arts 2018-02-23 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
Please don't understand. I'm not calling it a bad thing. But...

... It feels like it's important that *you* be their mother, yes? No one else, am I right? If I'm completely off base, please say so!
mincingminuet: (Lighting the Way)

[personal profile] mincingminuet 2018-02-23 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
[When everything starts to settle, Pen waves her hand behind her and the sound that was Gil vanished. The invisibility spell wore off not long after, too. The duration on it wasn't terribly long.

Pen skitters to a stop at the edge of the chasm and flips on her headlamp, looking into the gloom. The light reflects off something metallic, and she stops, opening her mouth to say something, then closes it again.]


Yes. I...hear something like that. Sounds like that or a heavy metal concert.

[Walking over, she peers down and frowns.]

Geez that's a long way down. But I think I saw a bridge over there?
