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.

[BACK IN THEY GO - and probably don't find a lot even though Baren is definitely poking around. He naturally wears gloves so he's not too worried about leaving fingerprints. After not... finding... much....

He'll just turn to Dave - ]


Wanna cut to the chase and find the highest room in the tallest tower? Maybe there's a princess waiting inside.
parodeity: art credit unknown, please contact (WELP 🎧  that sure occurred)

[personal profile] parodeity 2018-02-26 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
May as well. Although if there's a princess, she probably has frostbite. Did we bring shit for that?

[ UP THEY GO!!!!!!!! ]
crudest: (♚ his face got messed up)

[personal profile] crudest 2018-02-26 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
If she's like the queen I would hope she's immune?

[BUT YEAH, UP THEY GO. To the top tower and if there's a lock to be picked then Baren will do it - who knows what security is really like around here? Then time to investigate, find some of those chiseling tools... which he takes... and then the black box.]

Oohhh!

[GRAPPLING HOOK GET.]

Fancy!
parodeity: (Default)

[personal profile] parodeity 2018-02-26 07:21 am (UTC)(link)
Huh. Want to try to use that instead of flyin', or?

[ like nxt time it's relevant...

dave is just kind of poking around. he isn't into gloves, so when he sees them he kind of

prods them and ignores them ]
crudest: (♚ untouched by tragedy)

[personal profile] crudest 2018-02-26 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
[




thank you dave.

meanwhile Baren is going to hum as he picks them up, turning them over and sincerely wondering what they're doing up in the tallest tower with a grappling hook.

so since he and dave seem to be so good at secret keeping - ]
Forget what you're about to see.

[ - and he'll remove his personal gloves, revealing the burn scars on his hands before slipping on the new gloves. these are his now????]

Might as well use this! I've never gotten to be a spy before.
parodeity: (Default)

[personal profile] parodeity 2018-02-26 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
Didn't see a thing. [ he did.

but under his clothes are countless scars from a daily beatdown from a guy way older than him, in another lifetime.

so.

he's not even going to question the origin of those burns? we're all fine here. ]


Maybe this is the lair of like, a super ice spy. Who likes sculptures. Hm. Maybe we should go check out whatever was glowin' in the other castle? It might be a way to like...deice Zoro, unless we have to throw him into a fire.
crudest: (♚ i'm just fckin tired)

[personal profile] crudest 2018-02-26 07:35 am (UTC)(link)
[what a great terrible understanding we have here.]

He'll get mad that we didn't wait for him to see what was making the big roaring noise.

[ . . . oh well!

instead baren will go over the window and move to aim the grappling hook to see if it'll launch to the other castle....]


You know this isn't the first time I've had to defrost his ass? Last time it only took a hair dryer though.
parodeity: (WHOA 🎧 hold up)

[personal profile] parodeity 2018-02-26 08:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ i'm p sure the grappling hook can reach so baren can have his spy moment while dave just like

flies

as you do ]


What the fuck did he get frozen by last time? [ is this a Thing ]
crudest: (♚ just sock him please)

[personal profile] crudest 2018-02-27 02:02 am (UTC)(link)
[as you do

baren will still casually make conversation as he's absolutely delighted with this grappling hook, answering as he nyoOMS

which means he's kind of JUST SCREAMING]


THE NATURAL ELEMENTS?!
parodeity: (Default)

protip: hitting post comment helps send tags,,,,,,,,

[personal profile] parodeity 2018-02-27 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ dave's just like

flying after him casually... ]


So from now on we should be wary he'll like, freeze himself somehow always? [ when on the other side ]
crudest: (♚ baaaaaka)

what a concept

[personal profile] crudest 2018-02-27 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
[and baren is just doing a little shake once they get to the other side because we're all cats here - but also he's hype as hell?? his visible eye sparkles with adrenaline

and here's hoping dave can read lips because here baren goes:]


Probably!

[he'd rather not attract the big nasty roaring thing in here? and then he'll just make a gesture for them to head inside]
parodeity: (Default)

WEEP FOR ME

[personal profile] parodeity 2018-02-27 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
I can't really see much. [ dave is also in sunglasses as they head into the DARK, so like

that

can't be helping, dave? ]
crudest: (♚ does he just look)

WEEPS LOUDLY

[personal profile] crudest 2018-02-27 06:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . baren is literally about to open his mouth to point that out

but as they take steps into the castle they'll realize that it sure is slippery? baren startles at that even if he manages to get his footing a moment later, though he draws a knife from on his person just in case he'll need to stab something to keep his balance laer....

softly, but with feeling:]


Goddamn. You need an actual light...?
parodeity: (Default)

[personal profile] parodeity 2018-02-27 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
Nah. I'm okay in the dark. [ or he...is listening, moreso. ] But if we have to fight, it might be a little harder than usual...hey. Do you hear something?
crudest: (♚ trouble afoot? without me?)

[personal profile] crudest 2018-02-27 07:01 am (UTC)(link)
[yeah there sure is some of those creepyass footsteps? Baren listens closely as he gets his bearings. he adjusts fairly quickly to both the lighting and the slipperiness, but just being Okay won't be enough]

It's probably whatever Tanuki found.

You saw the bright shiny thing right - we probably need to grab that, if I have any hunch.

[closest thing to a clue that they've got....]
parodeity: goodknight2sday @ DA (DRAW 🎧 strife)

[personal profile] parodeity 2018-02-27 07:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, got it. Try to grab the probably mystical...gemstone?

[ and instead of footsteps now HOW ABOUT A ROAR let's get this party STARTED

dave's sword is quite suddenly in his hands. ]
crudest: (♚ NYAHAHAHA)

[personal profile] crudest 2018-02-27 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
—You're the one who can fly, so!

[APPARENTLY THIS IS HAPPENING NOW. At least with the crumbling and sliding, Baren has no time to overthink. He sort of just. Moves? And that moving is bringing him to the front of the monster, as he very obviously brandishes his knife and does what he does best

get LOUD AND OBNOXIOUS]


Is it too soon for a Rocky joke?! Hey, Mount Moron, look over here!!

[DECOY MOVE YAY]
parodeity: captaincrapster @ tumblr (HEADPHONES 🎧 listen)

[personal profile] parodeity 2018-02-27 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
On it! Just keep him off me for a little. [ THANKS BAREN

it would help if baren had special powers.

bye baren, probably, ]
crudest: (♚ look at your man now look at me)

[personal profile] crudest 2018-02-27 07:17 am (UTC)(link)
[baren having special powers sounds like a mistake because as kanye once said no one man should have all that power (and also still have the initiative to try to build himself a personal army)

leave the overpowered problems to.... all of his cr.

regardless he's doing fine? for a while? he doesn't have special powers aside from Anime Physics(tm) but it's actually been excellent for him for about 98% of his run. so he can dodge easily especially against this slow lumbering opponent. it's not bad enough that he thinks Dave needs to stop time or anything and it's going well - Dave is probably poised to take the gem

up until one wall of the castle gets knocked out with a smash, there's debris falling and Baren can't quite dodge everything as the monster takes a swing at him

#byebaren

there he goes, impacted by the monster and probably falling down the side of the castle and yet his last words (after he coughs out in discomfort):]


Just fucking finish it...!!

[PRIORITIES]
parodeity: msphamletmachine @ tumblr (ACROBATIC 🎧 pirouette)

[personal profile] parodeity 2018-02-27 07:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ BYE BAREN

but okay. that sounded like a direction and so dave will

flashstep up this thing's arm and SNAG THAT GEM

look we're two days off of march and i'm tired pretend i lovingly described this action sequence in excruciating detail ok

either way he gets the gem!!!!!!!!

did baren have a plan here or does dave need to go bridal catch him ]
crudest: (♚ leans back)

i'mmmMMMM LATE LMK IF YOU JUST WANNA HANDWAVE THE REST GOMEN

[personal profile] crudest 2018-03-04 10:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[yeah take the direction dave - Baren actually doesn't mind falling through the air that much. He's pretty sure he can take the knife in his hand and stab it into the wall somewhere to stop or slow his fall until he can get ahold of a proper ledge - which is of course when the memory hits.

Damn if that's not a doozy of a memory.

And damn if it doesn't manage to distract him enough, seeing things that aren't there, until he slams into a different ledge and breaks his fucking arm like an idiot. It snaps him out of the memory at the exact moment but also.

Yeah.

He doesn't seem to have a plan anymore as he curses like a fucking sailor

GROUND INCOMING]
parodeity: areu @ tumblr (JADE 🎧 whoa hey harley)

[personal profile] parodeity 2018-03-05 12:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ luckily, the ground doesn't get to reach up and say hello by breaking every bone in baren's body.

dave catches him, much like u would a delicate princess, about half a second before that becomes an immediate concern.

YOU'RE WELCOME, BAREN ]
crudest: (♚ someone needs new emotions)

[personal profile] crudest 2018-03-06 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
[A DELICATE PRINCESS who pauses in his cursing upon realizing that he has been caught

thanks buddy.

Baren blinks a couple times - mind trying to catch up with reality - before pressing:]


So you got the stone?

[PRIORITIZING]
parodeity: (Default)

[personal profile] parodeity 2018-03-07 01:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep, got it. Think it'll work to unfreeze Zoro?

[ IF NOT...

they have no plan ]
crudest: (♚ dooon't caaaaare)

[personal profile] crudest 2018-03-07 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[did they ever have a plan to start]

We'll find out, won't we? We can test it out on some of the animals we saw on the way over.
