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.

[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!
usurpers: (шнaт ї₴ їт єґёп)

[personal profile] usurpers 2018-03-15 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ this really is starting to get bananas and eren’s patience with the newfound power dwindles a little— not that it’s kurt’s fault! nothing’s working, is all. with brows furrowing and hand slipping down to kurt’s wrist, he sighs heavily. thinking, thinking . . .

mm. he clicks his tongue against the roof of his mouth . . . and starts hopping himself toward the edge of the hill, strapped to his snowboard. you bet his money he’s going to go down and take you with him in five seconds. ]
digthefuzz: (watch | shocking!)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2018-03-15 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
[Kurt blinks as he watches Eren's motions and starts to fret.]

Wait... wh-what are you doing?! [He's got a bad feeling about this. But it's too late to stop now!]
usurpers: (FURSECUTION)

[personal profile] usurpers 2018-03-16 09:22 am (UTC)(link)
All you need is a push. [ is the last thing he says before he goes through with his adrenaline junky threat. in three, two, one, eren tips his snowboard down the hill, still holding kurt’s wrist and down they go!!

nyoom. ]
digthefuzz: (watch | yeesh)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2018-03-17 07:44 am (UTC)(link)
N-not this kind of a puuuuush! [He protests! But down they go! And down Kurt goes, until he's practically running in the snow.]

I'm good, I'm good!!
usurpers: (FURSECUTION)

[personal profile] usurpers 2018-03-18 11:26 am (UTC)(link)
Looks like it’s working!

[ they’re going, going, nyooming, and once it looks like he’s running to try and keep up, eren slows down, but not enough to pull the breaks. ]

Is it?
digthefuzz: (watch | nervous)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2018-03-18 01:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Does it look like I'm flying in the air right now?! [He says, running through the snow.

Though he soon has a better idea and leaps to try to cling onto Eren's back like a monkey.]


Heads up!
usurpers: (Default)

[personal profile] usurpers 2018-03-19 12:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[ okay, eren— laughs. that’s a good enough answer for him, and it’s looking like he’s not floating up again any time soon. desperate times call for desperate measures, yes!!

briefly adjusting kurt behind him, eren puts his arms out for balance and picks up the speed down the slope, twisting and turning the snow and kicking up flurries as he goes. can he do tricks with extra weight? let’s find out. bending his knees as he sees the next opportunity, he jumps the minute the board’s tip leaves the ground. it’s a brief twirl in the air before the land and keep going. ]
digthefuzz: (watch | shouting)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2018-03-19 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kurt remains frantic for a few moments after grabbing onto Eren, but soon his nerves settle as Eren's boarding continues relatively smoothly. And he cheers as he pulls off a trick.]

Woooh! Now this is awesome, man! Cowabungaaa!
usurpers: (THE KOOL AID MAN)

[personal profile] usurpers 2018-03-20 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
That’s still my ear!

[ you’re yelling right into it??? but he says that like a laugh trying to sound angry, so. it’s a failed attempt at sounding remotely upset. every good ride comes to its end though, and after a few well done slips and turns down steeper hills and dodging faraway trees, they’re smoothing put it flatter ground, momentum still pushing them forward until the stop completely.

kurt was a goof, but. he was a good goof. he still reminded him of good people and it gets a smile out of him. ]


Still floating?

[ time check the floatometer. ]
digthefuzz: (watch | groove thing)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2018-03-21 04:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kurt tries not to cheer so loud afterwards, but it's still a fun experience!

Then, as they come to a stop, he climbs down from Eren's shoulders... and his feet sink right into the snow.]


Nope, just emotionally floating now! That was totally tubular, bro!
usurpers: (Default)

[personal profile] usurpers 2018-03-23 12:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[ he called him bro, haha. and to think, eren tried blocking him out of his life on day one. ]

So you’re saying the jerky’s mine, right?

[ gotcha’ 👌 ]
digthefuzz: (watch | shocking!)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2018-03-24 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
[He almost got Cthulhu-blocked!

Kurt looks up with a gasp as Eren says that.]


Whoa now man! That- that totally didn't count!
usurpers: (Default)

[personal profile] usurpers 2018-03-25 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I dunno, looks like I saved the day there . . .

[ as much as he’s slyly playing around, though– he reaches into his pack for the jerky, grabs a few for him, then tosses it to kurt.

you thought ;) ]
digthefuzz: (watch | who me)

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2018-03-27 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
[Kurt's face brightens up as he catches the jerky.]

You sure did! [Then, he presses his other hand to his forehead while mocking a swooning motion.] My hero!
usurpers: (Default)

[personal profile] usurpers 2018-03-27 12:24 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ‘tch, what a goof. eren shoves kurt’s shoulder once he’s clicked off his snowboard and carries it with his free hand. it was getting cold enough to numb his toes, so maybe it was probably best to go inside and heat up. while they do that, enjoying the jerky and tugging along: ]

—Look up.

[ even higher on that hill, looks like more people are floating....???? ]

That didn’t happen when we were here before.

[personal profile] digthefuzz 2018-03-28 05:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kurt guffaws as his shoulder is pushed at and then walks alongside Eren while chewing on the jerky. Even with all that weirdness, he still feels that rush of having had fun! Riding on someone who was riding a skateboard was certainly a unique thrill!

But then he looks up as Eren motions notices the other people floating.]


Whoa! That- that's totally what happened to me! Something's up with this mountain! I heard hiking can be an uplifting experience, but this is ridiculous!
