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.

[ Well I mean...

He's whipped out some measuring tape and seems to be both head-counting the rams and getting an idea for how much fleece they have now, typing it into some giant.. calculator?

... What the fuck.

But all the same, ]


The logical thing would either be to sneak in and get it - if either of you know which ram has it - or ... distract them, I guess?
scythegun: (HUH ⇝)

[personal profile] scythegun 2018-02-27 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
Distracting them might be the best way to go here. Who knows how they'll react if they catch us?

[Wesker's probably quick enough to get the gem without being noticed, but... Well, he'd much rather play it safe, assuming the giants can be distracted.]
manufactured: (014. you'll understand when i'm dead)

[...]

The simple one does seem to find things cute. I have to wonder if that would extend to us.

[hey elda

you are getting the most pointed look right now?]
matchbreaker: (She-Hulk!)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2018-02-27 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
Well none of us are sheep, so.

[ . . . what is that look. ]
scythegun: (GREETING ⇝ guten tag motherfuckers)

[personal profile] scythegun 2018-02-27 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
It might extend to us!

[Is he gonna say it— Of course he's gonna say it.]

After all, we have you, Elda! You're very cute!
manufactured: (018. when i'm god everyone dies)

[personal profile] manufactured 2018-02-27 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
Absolutely cute.

[my deepest apologies to elda marker, god save her soul]
matchbreaker: (TV Atlantis)

[ . . . ]

O-oh come on now...

[ wow...... ]
scythegun: (NOD ⇝)

[personal profile] scythegun 2018-02-27 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
What, do you think we're lying? You're adorable!

[He absolutely means it, look how cute she's being right now!!]

You'll do it, won't you? You just have to hold their interest for long enough for us to grab the gem!
manufactured: (006. the virgins feeling cheated)

[personal profile] manufactured 2018-02-27 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
We won't leave you out there for terribly long. And besides, you're the one most likely to improve our chances even if we are noticed in what we're trying to do.

[like, look at wesker's social skills, and jaeger just exudes sketch.]
matchbreaker: (I'm so unsure on this icon)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2018-02-27 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
[ That's...! That's!!

They could both have done to be more charming-

But through the blush she nods and pulls the goggles off entirely, having already pulled them off her eyes and brushes them a little, sighing as she looks over at the giants. ]


Alright, I'll do it. You guys get on the job!

[ Inhale, exhale...

And let's get out from behind the rock and walk over towards the giants. She won't call attention to herself until she's pretty sure they started their move ]
scythegun: (REALIZE ⇝ estelle's the princess?)

[personal profile] scythegun 2018-02-27 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
[There she goes! The giants will probably be distracted with her soon, so that just leaves finding the gem.]

You didn't happen to see which one it was on, did you? We'll have to move quickly so she's not stuck out there for too long.
manufactured: (014. you'll understand when i'm dead)

[personal profile] manufactured 2018-02-27 05:59 am (UTC)(link)
It's...

[He'll edge out from behind the rock a bit, to try to see if he can work it out from here; he...pauses, because we're in a cave, before he just sort of. mutters something under his breath, takes the sunglasses off for a brief moment so he can fucking see, before sliding them back on because fucking really.]

Well, the good news is that it's visible from here.

[...that is so dry, but he'll just. gesture. at the ram the giant is currently holding.

yeah.]
matchbreaker: (wait that's the wrong lyrics)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2018-02-27 06:15 am (UTC)(link)
[ Okay so advancing... getting closer...

The bats she can still sense are around the idea. Some of them went to the walls of ceiling of the cave and some of the mare on random rams. She clears her throat as she gets closer though, speaking up to them to put on her brightest of smiles and ]


Hello there!

[ ... The two giants both look at her, surprised and maybe alarmed someone else is here. But the accountant loses interest as soon as the other one makes a little coo of excitement, setting down the ram to -

Grab Elda like a polly pocket. ]


Hey, whoa, careful!
scythegun: (HUH ⇝)

[personal profile] scythegun 2018-02-27 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
[...Well, good thing he set down the ram, but uh...]

Do you think she'll be okay...?

[He doesn't sound that concerned though. Elda will probably be fine.]

Anyway, you're going to have to help me get up there again. I promise I'm not just doing this so you'll carry me!

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

[personal profile] manufactured 2018-02-27 06:24 am (UTC)(link)
I could throw you.

[But no, fine, come here, he doesn't mind this half as much as he claims he does; picking Jaeger up is easy enough, and it's probably easy to do this under the rams before jumping up on the one we want to minimize our chances of being seen. So off we go, Jaeger, the speed is probably a little worrying and he's going to come extremely close to smacking your head against a sheep a few times, but he will not actually hit you against anything.

Let's try to find the one we want over here.]
matchbreaker: (Finally!)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2018-02-27 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
Seriously, hey! Stop it!

[ And with that she... jabs her fingers into his thumb, which gets him to whine a little before he brings the hand up close to his face. remarking about how cuuuuute she is. She's tiny and cute and hey, brother hey brother look at this-

The accountant doesn't seem to care. But as for Elda she stands on his palm and clears her throat- ]


Open palmed! See, we can talk like this!

[ Oooh, she wants to talk? Okay, cool. He was going to show her off to his brother (who doesn't give a shit) but ... she's going to be a good playmate to the rams... he lost his last few playmates because well, they got lost or the bad, bad wolf took them or the Door of Nine got to them... he seems to ramble a little, dully, as Elda is taking this moment to stretch off the soreness she knows she's going to feel from that initial pick up ]
scythegun: (SARCASTIC ⇝)

[personal profile] scythegun 2018-02-27 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
[Jaeger gives Wesker a look at that, like the worst possible thing would be to be thrown, but thankfully Wesker wasn't actually serious and suddenly we're going fast, okay sure. This is a little nerve-wracking, but Jaeger's actually not too opposed once he's sure Wesker isn't going to accidentally slam him into any sheep.]

Oh, this is fun, I can see why you like this!

[How come he doesn't get super speed. This is totally unfair.

Hopefully Elda's doing alright up there...]
manufactured: (001. your world is an ashtray)

[personal profile] manufactured 2018-02-27 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Wesker doesn't answer, he just keeps moving, though he does make a vague noise to indicate that he's heard; the jump upward is sudden and without warning, an abrupt but elegant jump straight into the air and onto the back of one of those rams. His grip will go rather tight on Jaeger as they land, just so the change in velocity won't pitch him forward too hard when they stop, he doesn't want to drop him, but he'll set him down easily enough.]

This should be it.

[That said, he'll glance over toward Elda to see how it's going over there; you okay?]
matchbreaker: (Get off my dick)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2018-02-27 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
[ Honestly, some of this was and is interesting stuff. The wolf? The door of nine? However she she listens or makes her responses known to the giants, it becomes clear that- ]

So what's the issue between you two?

[ The dumber one explains how his brother's gotten so meticulous and dare he even use the word greedy bu the accountant cuts him off, glowering at Elda and remarking she's just a plaything, so why does any of this matter to her? his brother'll just grow bored of her or step on her or something. She tries to respond bu then the brother goes on about their childhood being sheep farmers, causing the accountant to push up his glasses and ask if he Really wanted to go back to those days when they were doing this just for pennies and eating scraps and he's clearly better off now- ]

Whoa, hey, come on-

[ She starts to say until the accountant-

Slaps her out of his brothers hand.

She goes flying towards the floor. ]
scythegun: (DISTRUST ⇝)

[personal profile] scythegun 2018-02-27 07:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Thanks for making sure he doesn't fall when they stop. As it is, Jaeger moves toward the gem just as Elda gets slapped out of the giant's hand.]

Elda...!

[There's nothing he can do about it though, so Jaeger grabs the gem instead and turns toward Wesker. There's no way Wesker can make it in time to save Elda, is there...?]
manufactured: (001. your world is an ashtray)

[personal profile] manufactured 2018-02-27 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
[He hears Jaeger's response to it, but he doesn't seem to be reacting much himself; he just...watches.]

...She'll be fine.

[He doesn't sound dismissive, but he does seem distant about it; there isn't much to be done about it, is there? Either she'll be okay or she won't, and we'll figure out what to do with it once we're down.]

Come on, we shouldn't stay here any longer than we need to.
matchbreaker: (Only Okay Hmm)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2018-02-27 07:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ Fine is a relative thing. Because about three things happen in the course of this descent down to the ground. One of them is not connected to Elda at all - that's the two giants getting into... a slap fight. A slap fight which, given their immense size and the swirling tendrils of darkness around them really does take on a sinister edge despite the silliness of it. If they happen to fall on them or stomp around... well, that's not god for them or the party or the rams or pretty much anyone. Something the rams seem aware of as a few move more towards the entrance.

But the second and third things happen in quick succession. Namely, that all of the bats Elda's brought into this world with her shoot out from their various corners of the room towards her, flapping over to her with alarming speed as if trying to help slow down the fall. They do yank her and seem to reach some sort of ability to stall her despite the momentum as she's getting closer to the ground (thank god) but-

That brings on the third thing. Namely, that the bats caught her by way of her boots, and it seems that these boots were not meant to pulled on by bats to hang upside down out of, because her feet slip out of them. Leaving her both bootless and falling - she falls the last ten of so feet, and from the odd angle and her whole surprise at all of this happening so fast... and she also just felt some pain there in the same legs, making her yelp and distracting her from managing to land on her feet again. A phantom pain, like it was from the partner connection. A club on her leg?

She just of lands hard on her stomach. Fortunately, nothing feel immediately broken? But the world is filled with an immediate pain which overrides the sensation she totally just heard some telepathy from Silver. Hope she didn't wind the boy on his end. ]
