MARCH EVENT LOG

EVENT
FOUNDER'S DAY
The city of Recollé. With everything that happened in the last month, the townspeople are excited to proceed with their festivities as normal. The Mayor, though a little wary of public appearances now, makes his way through town atop his beloved Chocobo, Seabiscuit, a megaphone in his hand and shouting to everyone he passes.

"Welcome to Founder's Day! Let's do our part and celebrate the city that we love."

I.
At noon sharp, the bands strikes up again as crowds gather around Tribunal Terrace. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for the main attraction! That's right, it's time for the annual Founder's Day Parade featuring the city's newly elected royalty: King Yogi Perowna, Queen Kara Lee, Prince Kasen Kaneda, Princess Elizabeth Velveteen , Duke Garfield Logan, and Duchess Charlotte Williams. The marching bands play with gusto as they stride through the streets, the Recollé High and Recollé University cheerleaders right behind them. Beautiful floats follow in their wake, all decorated with flowers and depicting the historical events of the city.

At the head of the parade is the Mayor on Seabiscuit, proudly trotting up front with the head of police, the head of the fire house and the rest of those who had been kidnapped following right after them on another float. Looking no worse for the wear, they're all smiles and grandeur waving and greeting the citizens of the city.

At the end of the parade, the Mayor remains in Tribunal Terrace and steps up to the mic.

"We would like to give a special thanks to those brave enough to venture into the tunnels to rescue us. Our captors have been dealt with and today we will honor our rescue team for their service."


If present at this time, Eleanor Lamb, Yoon-sung Lee, Lucy Takada, Hinata Aoi, Sakura Tohsaka, Frederick Baudin, Tatsuo Kihara, Elizabeth Velveteen, Yukiko Amagi, Tatsuma Hiyuu, Jirou Hirata, Kenta Ooshima, Alexander Von Cumore, Rossiu Adai, and Kurt Wagner will be invited up to the front to receive a medal of honor. It's a shiny golden Chocobo.

Like other Founder's Day celebrations in the past, several shops across the city have discount sales on items in the Towers, coffee drinks at Expressive, a marathon of historical films at Flix and more. Celebrate your home if you'd like. It's a nice break from it all.

II.

But what about those of you who have been city-bound for the whole month? What about those of you who have spent the last month exploring the boundaries outside of the city and helping to build the roads to new destinations? Thanks to the efforts of Retrospec users, several locations have now been stabilized and users may explore these areas to their heart's content. With Pesgare three hours south by boat, Respatrum an hour east and underground, Bosuma two hours west through the Recollé Woods and Magatus seven hours north from the city, visitors may come and go to explore the regions and their points of interest.

The travel may take some time and the scenery will change around you as you go. Those same monsters from before continue to lurk just outside of the city and on the path to these locations and wild flora sprawls over various pathways. Take some time to study them if you'd like.

And speaking of study, along the way you'll find various road signs and warnings along the way including giant man-eating frogs, fire-breathing horses, severe flood warnings and more. In addition you will find large directories in the middle of the road pointing you in the directions of the four locations.

What's going on in these other places though? Well....

III.
Over in Pesgare the fishing village has been saved from the hands of a greedy buyer and the villagers are in the midst of celebration. After the big rainstorm that occurred at the end of February, the seaside village begins setting out wares for sale in their marketplace that buyers may peruse. Items for sale include fish, paintings, clothing, books, handmade jewelry and more.

On occasion though, you may find yourself in the midst of another rain shower as they come periodically in this area. While some of you may be prepared and have an umbrella on hand, others will notice that the rain is an iridescent color that falls and curves in arcs. Getting soaked by the rain may invoke a strange desire to cause a scene and yell dramatically at whoever is close by (and perhaps even belt it out if you're unfortunately unlucky), and so it may be wise to find shelter soon before you say things you'll come to regret.

IV.
Meanwhile in Respatrum the workers continue on down in the forge and begin creating new wares with the gems discovered by the exploration group from the month before. It's hot down here, boiling almost and the fires on all side means the heat's not letting up anytime soon. With caves and walkways and forges to explore, you may find yourself observing the creation of silver platters, swords, furniture and more.

Further down in the region in one of the lower rings, you may hear the sound of loud cheering and applause as you enter into a large stadium. In the center of the ring is a man with a red cape, waving it in front of a burning, burly bull. A final flourish sends the bull back into its pen, raring and ready to go the next round.

Who's up next? Why, it's you! Without warning the organizer of the bull fights grabs you by the shoulders and hands you a cape, shoving you straight into the ring with the crowd roaring above you and the bull bursting out of its cage. Think fast! Your life may depend on it.

V.

Out in Bosuma, the color's been restored to several of the flowers and trees and the people of the forest have been returned to their cottages. The creatures of the forest appear to be out and around including rabbits, squirrels, giant woodpeckers and rainbow-colored deer that aren't afraid to approach people. In fact, all of the creatures appear content to welcome these newcomers and show them around the forest.

It's at night when the real show starts. Several large, blooming flowers begin to glow in various neon colors. For those who stick around and walk through the large gardens, they'll notice that colored pollen also appears to be falling from the flowers, leaving a mist over you that sweeps over you like a soft waterfall. Depending on the color though, you may find yourself feeling a little different...will you fight or will you embrace these sudden emotions?

VI.

Meanwhile things in Magatus are snowy and blustery as ever, but the townspeople seem to be in higher spirits now that their wolf problem is alleviated. With their shops open for business and the bright colors in the sky, the area is almost peaceful and perfect just to get away from it all.

On occasion, you may see a black wolf darting in and out of the shadows watching over the town and the people coming to it. The path appears to be clear now and with a little navigating and a bit of a climb, you'll come across the newly up and running ski lodge. Plenty of cozy couches and fireplaces makes this lodge the perfect place to sleep and the rooms the original exploration team went through appear to be outfitted to be sleeping quarters now.

Up on the mountain, however, there will be a fully operating ski lift and several mountain paths for all of you adrenaline junkies wishing to ski, snowboard and more. In fact, several of the locals will even begin teaching lessons and hold competitions for those of you into that kind of thing. Seems pretty safe, right?

But the higher you go, the more you begin to feel like you're floating. In fact, the higher the elevation, the higher you will be lifted off the ground until you cap out floating a foot in the air. How are you going to get back down the mountain? Well, good luck with that.

BONUS.
Several of you may notice that the heart-shaped stone from February still hasn't disappeared. However, as the Founder's Day parade begins all emotional transfer stops.
The heart's color seems to settle and all cracks and fissures are permanent. It's no longer in danger of cracking if you ignore your feelings, but it serves as a reminder that you should take care of yourself.

Later in the day, all Retrospec users will receive a message from Zee.

Assessment passed. We stabilized the four regions and you're no longer in danger of going native if you head out there. Feel free to explore and stuff. There's still a lot out there we don't know about, but it may be best to get a head start.

Oh, and the hearts? Also stable for now. It's...if you feel any different or you realize something's missing, come talk to us? We might be able to fix it.

The RRI will be taking more volunteers for other assignments as things come up. You'll probably hear from me sooner or later.


The hearts will still project the thing that you love to the front of your mind so long as you hold it, but it's in no danger of shattering. Best of luck, Retrospecters.

Welcome to [community profile] recolle's March log! The prompts are simply loose guidelines for you guys to play with and make up your own fun adventures for the entire month! You may also create your own logs or inbox threads based on these prompts.

This will be a fairly lowkey month meant for travel, exploration and recouping from the last month's event! As of 3/3 all groups will ICly be back in the city. The event feedback post will go up on 3/4 along with information about the new world changes that may take place and the upcoming quest board.

Any questions you have regarding this event may be directed to the mod comment here.

[As a general note, Kurt has regained his true form - a blue and fuzzy one which comes with a tail - but he is wearing a special watch called an image inducer, which makes him look like his ordinary human self! So, he'll appear to be his ordinary old self for the most part!]

I

[It's a late Founder's Day, but still Founder's Day nonetheless! One of Kurt's favorite days of the year! Sure, he didn't get to be king of the parade again for this year, but it's cool. He'll deal. Especially when he's called up to receive a medal of honor from Mayor Mayer himself!

Sure, he had only attended that rescue mission in disguise, but he's sure that he could pass his actual self off as having been somewhere among the rescue mission's ranks. And so he wears that golden chocobo medal proudly around his neck! Afterwards, Kurt can be seen doing some wacky breakdance moves, signing autographs for people who recognize him from his time on Heckbusters and stocking up on snacks to chow down on! Kurt will be ready to talk to others during any of those actions!]


II

[Kurt stands outside the city's borders, dressed dorkily as he holds up a giant map.]

Man! Four different places to choose from. Which one will be sweetest vacation spot?

V

[Kurt eventually settles on a trip to Magatus! So, at some point after Founder's Day, he can be run into there! He can be found laying around at the ski lodge and nursing some hot chocolate.

Or he can be found outside, preparing to go skiing! ...Except that he's starting to go a bit too high up... off of the ground entirely!]


Wildcard

[Feel free to come up with another prompt or hit me up for further plotting!]

[ sometime during his own trip to magatus with friends, eren’s out to go for some snowboarding up the curvier slopes. it’s been a hell of a long time since he’s done it, but he’s been doing a few practice runs enough to get the hang of it again, the tip of his nose bright red and most of his newly grown beard a little frosty.

looking down the hill they’re on and sizing up the best path, eren puts his board and legs into place, talking out loud for his current slip partner(that u kurt) to hear. ]


Alright— so we’re going up to half a pound of jerky for this hill. [ the ultimate prize for getting to the lodge first, obviously. he was probably neck and neck, or even falling behind on kurt’s lead of wins now and he’s not sure how he wasn’t winning. he turns to kurt to make sure he’s ready, but when he’s about to ask, uh, what the fuck

are you literally floating. ]
digthefuzz: (watch | groove thing)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2018-03-08 09:36 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kurt was excited to try out some snowboarding! He was confident that he'd do well, and the possibility of jerky only made the deal that much more awesome! He was so excited that he didn't even notice his little problem at first...]

Alright!! Get ready to write my name all over that jerky!
usurpers: (Default)

[personal profile] usurpers 2018-03-09 10:13 am (UTC)(link)
[ okay so guess eren’s going to have to be the one to burst his bubble becausec, for one, he can’t stop staring like kurt had three heads for not noticing. ]

. . . Kurt, you’re floating.
digthefuzz: (watch | where's the beef)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2018-03-09 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[The way Eren was staring at him was pretty odd. It weirded Kurt out... he hoped that he couldn't see through his image inducer somehow!

But when Eren speaks, it's something completely unexpected. He blinks twice as in response.]


Huh? What do you mea- [But then he looks down and realizes why the snow felt as soft as air. Because he literally is walking on air.]

Whoa! What the-! [Could he be getting a new power??]
usurpers: (BORAT'S ONE PIECE)

[personal profile] usurpers 2018-03-10 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
Hold on—! [ HOLD IT THERE BUDDY DONT JUST FLOAT OFF. eren, already strapped to his board gives a few good hops over to try and, you know, grab him and pulling him back down. ]

You didn’t know you could do that?

[ i mean— if it were something habitat related he would’ve seen more people floating rIGHT ]
digthefuzz: (watch | shocking!)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2018-03-10 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
Trust me, this is totally new! [At least he's not going to make it more than a foot off the ground! Although even as Eren pulls at him, Kurt doesn't get closer to the ground.]

Th-thanks, but I don't think it's working...
usurpers: (BORAT'S ONE PIECE)

[personal profile] usurpers 2018-03-12 03:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[ well bucko if you thought he was going to let go, you were wrong. he puts more muscle into it, holding his breath and holding out his hand to clap it around kurt’s forearm. ]

Think about— floating down, or something.
digthefuzz: (watch | shocking!)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2018-03-14 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[He'll never let go Kurt!!]

Oh, I'm thinking! I'm thinking alright! A whole lot of thoughts about how much I miss the ground!

[Except... the future refuses to change. ...And his feet don't go down.]

This is bananas!

[Eventually she finds Kurt being Kurt-like and doing his thing when she approaches, falling into step with him and eyeing the medal around his neck.]

I didn't know you went on that rescue mission, too.
digthefuzz: (watch | friendly neighborhood acrobat)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2018-03-09 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Kurt chuckles sheepishly as he glances at the medal.]

O-oh, yeah. [He scratches at his head. He wants to protect his secret but still have some of this glory!] I was pretty much along for the ride. But, I helped out when i could!
pseudonyms: (Look at the roses in your garden)

[personal profile] pseudonyms 2018-03-13 03:57 pm (UTC)(link)
That's pretty much all you can do in these kind of things, you know? Hinata was down there, too, but he didn't even tell me he was going so I found out later. I don't know if I would have been able to help the way you guys did though. [...] Was it scary though?
digthefuzz: (watch | where's the beef)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2018-03-14 02:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh... yeah, it was super spooky. [He scratches at his hair.] There was, like, a haunted river, a maze, and some really creepy monsters! They were like, giant!
pseudonyms: (We should know better)

[personal profile] pseudonyms 2018-03-14 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Everybody keeps talking about monsters everywhere. You'd think they'd give it a rest after a while. [Monsters are clearly stupid.] You guys had to get through a maze and stuff?
digthefuzz: (watch | friendly neighborhood acrobat)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2018-03-15 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
I wish! [He says with a light-hearted shrug.] Yep, one whole maze like something out of an adventure game. It was so bananas... but it was worth it. We got the mayor and everyone out of there in one piece!
pseudonyms: (Pull the trigger without thinking)

[personal profile] pseudonyms 2018-03-15 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Incredible. [There's an equally light-hearted smile.] And now we're celebrating Founder's Day a month late and it's like nothing ever happened. What do you plan to do next?

[Post-rescue...during the celebration...she's not specifying and she doesn't think she has to.]
digthefuzz: (watch | nervous laughter)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2018-03-15 08:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I'd like to take a break from adventures and fighting monsters! [He says with a chuckle.] So it's a pretty chill day laid out for me. Gonna check out some sales, some grub, and this year's royalty! How about you?

[At some point when Kurt was taking a break from the dancing and autographs, a hand settled on his shoulder. It hadn't been terribly hard to find him, and despite the constant reassurances that she'd be able to go home anything she liked, Amelia had rather missed him last month.]

Kurt—that was for you?

[She's looking at the medal around his neck. Amelia had been a bit late to the event and had missed the specifics of the announcement, but she certainly got the gist of it.]
digthefuzz: (watch | nervous laughter)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2018-03-11 06:01 am (UTC)(link)
Oh! Um, yeah! [He says sheepishly. There's no denying it! He taps at the medal and holds it up slightly to give her a better look, with a slight shrug of his shoulders.]

Surprise?
smothershadow: (spoiler hugs)

[personal profile] smothershadow 2018-03-13 05:06 pm (UTC)(link)
[That touch turned into a small but congratulatory pat as pride welled up in Amelia's chest. Kurt might not be on one of those floats, but he'd done something far more direct.]

You've done very well, Kurt. Don't sell yourself short.

[Another pat.]

Your father would be proud of you.
digthefuzz: (watch | admiring)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2018-03-14 02:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[...Oh. That praise brings a more sincere smile to Kurt's face as he looks at her.]

...Thanks, Mom. I- I just tried my best.
smothershadow: (She smiles sometimes I promise)

[personal profile] smothershadow 2018-03-17 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
[And here's the other side of the coin, as Amelia's voice turns from softly proud to concerned and chiding.]

Why didn't you tell me earlier? You weren't hurt, were you?
digthefuzz: (watch | nervous)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2018-03-17 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
[Ah, there it is. He smiles fades a bit as he waves his hands.]

I- I just... I dunno, it just happened! And no, I wasn't hurt. I made it through in one piece! [At least by now any minor injuries he might have sustained have healed.]
smothershadow: (mine not yours)

[personal profile] smothershadow 2018-03-20 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you certain? Injuries aren't always so obvious.

[Amelia's not immediately appeased, though his waving hands kept her from grabbing onto the other shoulder. She was just concerned! And was going to peck and prod her hatchling until she was certain.

Though, while Kurt's arms were waving about, she grabbed onto one, checking his wrist again. Still no mark like she remembered. Good.
]
digthefuzz: (watch | nervous laughter)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2018-03-21 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[Luckily it's a sleeve she grabs onto... and there's indeed no sign of injury on his person. Kurt smiles while being a bit nervous about her closeness.]

I'm totally sure. For reals! I even took a stop at the school nurse to make sure. All's well in Casa de Kurt, Mom. [And he gently tries to wiggle out of her grip.]
