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.

[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]

[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]

[ 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. ]
