TEAM FOUR EVENT LOG

[recollecters]

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 Objective 2: Info about Objective Two | Threading for Objective Two Objective 3: Info about Objective Three | Threading for Objective Three | Objective Three point Five Mar 3rd: Outro Objectives 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.

[crudest]

[it's a group of two fucking cats and a giant dumb dog


and a tanuki]

Mm... yeah, I guess we can get falling into an obvious trap out of the way.

[???????

he scratches tanuki under his chin, above the gopro, and tilts his head - ]

And you can go investigate on what's in the other castle right, Tanuki?

[stopbleeding]

Tell it to find the one where I can fight something.

[because, yeah. his hesitation towards trusting Ol' Shiny there aside, he knows what he's here for.]

Whole trip I've only chopped up fish.

[parodeity]

Man, don't tell me I have to be the voice of "let's not hastily cut shit up", that's so much responsibility?

[ but he seems perfectly fine with following whatever baren is picking here...ok ]

[crudest]

Maybe not hastily.

[oh.

Anyway he'll drop Tanuk in the snow and he shudders, looking back at Baren with a look of betrayal. Baren laughs - ] C'mon, if you go I'll make sure Sanj cooks you something extra special.

[ . . . to which Tanuki seems appeased, then moving to take off toward the dark castle. At some point he'll turn big in a cloud of smoke to cut on travel time, probably. Baren turns to the other two, grinning - ]

Let's go moderately and semi-responsibly cut shit up?

[sure. ok.]

[stopbleeding]

[he's glad dave's not in charge, at least. he's already been fight-censored enough.]

Just find me something big.

[but fiiiiiiiiine he'll come along. and also:]

Since when can Sanji cook? Thought he told me he was shit at it.

[WAS THAT TO THROW HIM OFF THE TRAIL OF HIS CREW??]

[parodeity]

Just don't kill anything we're not sure we wanna kill? [ though that mostly sounds tired because he remembers too much death.

he hums. ]

Maybe he remembered how to cook or something? People get back weird skills all the time.

[crudest]

Z can probably fight something without killing it. If he goes too long without punching something, he ges hives.

[Sure.

Regardless Baren just. Laughs.]

I mean, he used to serve me shitty burnt Mac and Cheese that resembled the Black Lagoon. I definitely eat better than that now.

[he probably has not been eating akira's arm fish stew and just waits until sanji cooks him something. (he also might've been served grass as a result.)]

[stopbleeding]

That's not saying a lot, Baren.

[but he's leaning more towards thinking sanji'S A FUCKING LIAR. hell, he's getting his phone out.]

[parodeity]

So are we gonna wait for the scouting or just start walkin'?

[ HE'S COLD ]

[crudest]

I don't like waiting.

[and with that

he starts walking in the direction of the big shiny]

Anyone have a different superpower like they can turn into a light speed rail?

[stopbleeding]

[zoro follows suit. judges the distance between themselves and the castle. thinks. shrugs.]

Could probably cut the castle from here. That's it.

[he's not saying that's the option they should go with just. you know. it's an option.]

[parodeity]

I could flashstep there in a handful of minutes. [ a shrug. ] If you feel like piggyback rides.

[crudest]

[thoughtfully:]

I love piggyback rides.

[stopbleeding]

You sure you can carry me that far?

[like... slowing someone down in freefall is different from having them on your back??]

You gonna be okay?

[parodeity]

It'd take two of me.

[ he doesn't sound like he's saying that's not possible? ]

[crudest]

Well—

[Baren's going to ask about that. He is.

However it appears that in this moment is when there's going to be a sudden, concerned honk coming from the sky. It appears as though the wolf that shoved them through the door has remembered the existence of Baren's moose (certainly not because i forgot) and that's why Boose is going to join the party now.

If Zoro catches him.

Your move, Z.]

BOOSE!!!

[stopbleeding]

Take two–?

[zoro looks up from his texting because of dave and ends up dealing with a moose instead.]

WHAT THE HELL?! HOLD THIS!

[shoves his phone at baren which means baren can now def see the Maury-level text thread of reparation with sanji while he just.

catches a moose i guess.]

[parodeity]

I can - oh, you got this?

[ HE WON'T FREEZE TIME OR ANYTHING THEN...he just

takes out his phone to record this momentous occasion, because somehow he thinks "so zoro caught a moose" won't have the same impact as a video chat. ]

[crudest]

[Baren normally doesn't like reading Zoro's texts - but it's shoved at him so suddenly that he might catch more parts of it than he wants since he doesn't realize what it is until he sees the name at the top.

Well, not his fault right.

Boose lands in Zoro's arms with a confused honk.

Baren just softly applauds.]

Oohhh, good catch.

where did my notifs for this go??? dw???

[stopbleeding]

[zoro expects to struggle with the weight but. well. superstrength. he still reacts like it weighs a ton, though.]

WHERE DID IT COME FROM?!

[ack. boose honks again and zoro just. sets him down? it's very awkward between both him and boose.]

[parodeity]

If I gotta move the moose as well it'll take way more than three of me.

[crudest]

As much as I want to see that party trick too...

[Baren will at least raise a hand to calm Boose? ah yes, the worst disney princess strikes again.]

Now that Boose is here, he can probably bring one of us himself. You got a preference on your piggybackee?

[stopbleeding]

Are you talking to me or the moose?

[somehow, both zoro and boose have the same expression of frank confusion because i live for gags.]

[parodeity]

You're lighter and I ain't weak exactly but I'm more speed than muscle. [ so baren gets a piggyback, apparently.

dave will just patiently stand around and wait for baren to climb aboard, apparently ]

[crudest]

Neither, stupid.

[Because he was definitely talking to Dave. That said luckily Baren has plenty of experience using people as jungle gyms so he'll move to climb onto Dave's back easily, gesturing with his free hand to Zoro and Boose - ]

Boose, catch up with us, okay?

[he will infinitely trust this moose's sense of direction more than Zoro's]
