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.

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

[Baren shakes his head - ]

Not entirely.

But it doesn't need to be entirely for it to count, does it? [He shrugs one shoulder.] - is what I think, anyway.

[He's not the type to push his ideals. If she can really consider them all strangers, he considers that all the more enviable.]

[ She waves a hand dismissively. ]

People don't live philosophically! I'm saying this now, and I'd try to keep that in mind... but I'm hardly saying I'd avoid a relationship with them. Honestly, I'd then go to befriend them. Hell, I might even get weird about it over time. But as a principle...? If I pretend that I know someone I just met, that's creepy, isn't it?
crudest: (♚ sounds fake but ok)

[personal profile] crudest 2018-03-07 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
But you do.

[He tilts his head - and look Baren can veer into creepy sometimes, though he'd rather not. He prefers to live unattached but he can't help but feel like it's an odd point.]

Maybe not the way they grew up now, if they lived in a different city or there's something kinda off about them - but so far everyone I've met hasn't been unbearably different from who they see in their memories.

Either way, you're bound to know more than what's comfortable.
matchbreaker: (With a chicken wing...)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2018-03-07 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . She actually laughs at that. ]

You're asking me to be philosophical about all this when it's ultimately about feelings. When the moment comes - if it comes - whatever I'm telling you now's probably out the window.

[ But... on that other point- ]

But there are some people who aren't alike them much, you know. Or are you going to argue your identity is 1:1 over two lifetimes?
crudest: (♚ king of everything)

[personal profile] crudest 2018-03-07 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
Feelings are philosophical.

[ - is his easy reply, coupled with a grin.]

It's impossible to be 1:1 when people remember shit like dragons and sky islands and the mafia, you know? Sometimes all in one. But I don't think a core of a person changes.
matchbreaker: (Uses this a ton)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2018-03-07 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
Oh I definitely think that's possible.

[ With her eyes, exposed without the sunglasses here in the more dim run down ski lodge, glancing over to whatever corner Albert Wesker's settled in. Because she has to believe that. Because she won't accept that Albert Wesker, the man who could be surprisingly gentle, the man who might not be quite normal but always did try to integrate as best he was able, and who did have passions which fascinated her... Is the same as a bio-terrorist. That's not possible. ]
crudest: (♚ name a reason why i'd care)

[personal profile] crudest 2018-03-07 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ . . . hm. Baren doesn't pry, he's not the type. He follows her gaze out of automatic curiosity, but otherwise shrugs a shoulder.]

Then I could be wrong.

Exceptions could always exist.

[ - even if his tone doesn't quite lend to the idea that he actually believes they do.]
matchbreaker: (D J COLIN)

[personal profile] matchbreaker 2018-03-07 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
[ Well....!! She did propose this game, so she laughs a little and waves her hand ]

Yeah, yeah. Either way, I haven't met anyone who recognizes the world she was from.
crudest: (♚ ya lying sack of lard)

[personal profile] crudest 2018-03-07 03:04 am (UTC)(link)
Give it a few more months - you never know. There's a lot of souls out there.

[and he's always going to think

some people are meant to be together]

[ SHRUG!!!!

I mean that'd be nice, maybe? but she's not holding her breath either. ]
