TEAM FOUR EVENT LOG
|
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 OneObjectives 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. |
no subject
As Cleo speaks, he does comply and stand behind her, but he cannot guess what she's attempting.]
Do you have a plan?
no subject
Smooth.]
I hope she has a plan.
[Hell knows his uncool ass sure doesn't.]
no subject
She retreats, facing the chain monster. And she remembers- When she first woke up with these ice powers, and this new eye, she was so alarmed, she froze her entire apartment... She needs that feeling again. It's true, her ice magic is hard for her to control still. But she doesn't need control right now.
Her visions- Her memory, the memory of another her- flows through her mind. Instructing her in magic. Teaching her- Flexibility. Freedom. Focus on your own image of it.
She lifts a leg high over her head, and then swings it down like an axe kick, heel striking the ground. And from that point of impact, ice forms. Ice. So much ice. It flows forward, rushing forward like an inexorable iceberg, forming around the chains and freezing them in place, until most of the room is simply a glacier with the chains frozen in it.
Of course, having now expended most of her energy, Cleo wobbles, trying to stand steady.]
no subject
Incredible... [He'll notice Cleo's wobbling as well and step towards her just as in case she could use some support.] Are you alright?
[And he also glances between Silver and the frozen mass, noticing the gem among the ice.]
I'm glad that the threat is done with. You've done well. But, beyond that... Do either of you have the means to extract that gem from the ice? [They shouldn't leave empty-handed if they could help it!]
no subject
But he can shake off the memories that dredges up. Cleo looks worn out. Byakuya is taking care of her. He can fetch something out of this overgrown frozen puddle, no problem. ...Probably.]
Let's make some magic happen, Berry.
[Sneasel nods and goes to retrieve the gem. Silver moves to follow, winces slightly at his leg, wisely decides that he doesn't feel like climbing around and leaves it to the expert. The expert of course isn't having any trouble reaching the raised tendril holding the gem; cutting it free is easy enough, but it takes a short slap fight to actually get the damn thing out of its hands... And it doesn't exactly come out smoothly, with the gem sailing down the ice and flying up in the air. Whoops-]
no subject
I'm all right. It's merely... mental strain.
[In other words: She's exhausted. And that's not something that normally bothers her. Normally, she'd be able to power through that just fine. But this is not a normal day. She's exhausted mentally from her magic, exhausted emotionally from trying to channel those visions, and exhausted physically from trying to stop the hog earlier. Which means... Well.
She doesn't notice when the gem goes flying, only looking up at the noise from the slap fight... Just in time for the gem to nail her right between the eyes.
She isn't sure if she should be indignant or confused.]
no subject
The gem goes flying before Byakuya can even articulate an attempt to catch it! And then... he looks back at Cleo again as it makes its landing.]
...Ah. [He hopes that won't leave a mark! But before he can say anything further, the area begins shaking and one wall starts to crack.] Wh-what now?!
no subject
It's just one thing after another...
[And it's time for him to get running to the edges of this round room to look for some sort of way out. They could wrestle their way through hogs, but that... Doesn't seem like the wisest option at the moment.]
no subject
Cleo grimaces, forcing herself to move. Her body isn't that tired, after all, it's her magic that's exhausted... But she can push through it. Ignore her limits. Move on. Protect the others.
She draws her sword, and hurls a small spear of ice at the pig to get its attention.]
Get moving, you two!
no subject
While there could be another exit somewhere in the fortress, it's not worth the risk of the place collapsing on them while they search. So he looks back towards the entrance with a thoughtful frown.]
You shouldn't try to take them on by yourself. Let us evade them as one! Come, Silver! [With that, he starts to move back out while debris starts falling!]
no subject
If we can make it out of here alive, I think we have a fighting chance against the big guy.
[He can't let out Gyarados in here, but outside... His thoughts are quickly interrupted by a fairly large piece of building falling down just a couple of feet from him.
That's starting to seem like a really big if.]
no subject
She turns to follow him, ducking her head, but keeping an eye out.]
I don't see how we can get out without taking them on!
no subject
Fine. We can do battle with them, but we can't allow ourselves to be separated. [Even more than her fighting it, he took issue with the idea of her staying behind.] Silver, your companions are up for the task as well?
[There's some more close calls with the debris, but soon he's passing right through the entranceway! And back out to board land.]
no subject
[And in this case, calling the right shots seems to be subbing out Kingdra, which seems like a strange choice up until his friend the seahorse starts squirting smoke out at the hog to disorient it and cover their escape. Thank god for smokescreen. Silver follows as quickly as he can to try and avoid getting hit if at all possible, which works out fine until he's pausing and reeling from pain that isn't his own and that he can't quite place the origin of; it feels like he's been hit all over. His connection to Elda is working against him. What the hell did she get hit by? Did she take a bus to the...
...You know, he doesn't want to finish that thought.]
no subject
[She's been running, forcing her body along, but when he suddenly stops... Well. Stopping in the middle of a collapsing building? Not good.
She charges forward, grabs Silver, and shields him with her body, as rubble falls on them.]
We have to keep moving!
no subject
He looks back just as the rubble is falling.]
Watch out!! [He wants to do something - anything! - to help them. But he can't get close enough in time, and Cleo's taken this into her own hands.]
no subject
It doesn't take too long to come back to his senses, at the very least, although it's far too late to do anything about the rubble. A twinge of fear strikes his face as the rubble falls, growing greater after the fact, but from there on out his instincts take over. He wastes no time in scooping Cleo up and sprinting towards the exit- she shielded him, and he's not sparing the time to check how injured he is before deciding he's ensuring that she makes it out of here alive.]
