TEAM ETHANOL LOG
|
After that strange Retrospec post, you may be wondering how to contact this "technician". Luckily, your phone or whatever device you have handy to check the network chooses that exact second to go haywire... Team Ethanol roster: Almedha, Augustine Sycamore, Chuuya Nakahara, Heine Rammsteiner, Izumi Sena, Kazuma Kiryu, Nui Harime, Peko Pekoyama, Rosalind Lutece, Weiss Schnee, Yukiko Amagi, Zaveid. On whatever device you use to view the retrospec application, you may note the following scrolling on the screen instead of the usual options: ALERT: CRITICAL TIME-SPACE ANOMALY ACTIVE. SEARCHING FOR ADMIN... SEARCHING FOR ADMIN... DESIGNATED ADMIN CANDIDATE: EMPLOYEE #91962 M. MAHONEY PLEASE INPUT AUTHORIZATION CODE. The prompt does not seem to be for you, however, as the text prompts continue to scroll, this time with some input. > ********************** ACCEPT ADMIN STATUS Y/N? > y DESIGNATE PROGRAM TO RUN. PLEASE BE ADVISED WE ARE SYSTEM CRITICAL. > run subroutine designation echolocation-alpha CONFIRMED. EMPLOYEES ACTIVE IN AREA: 2 > list employees EMPLOYEES ACTIVE: M. FITZWILLIAM LEVEL 0 ACCESS, INTERN M. MAHONEY FULL SYSTEM ACCESS, ADMIN > search for alternative assets CONFIRMED. SENDING ALTERNATIVE ASSET LIST. Names scroll by on the screen. and look, there goes yours! It seems like someone is manually picking and choosing from a list of every Retrospec user who didn't disappear into the void, and several names queue up. > initialize support team CONFIRMED. TEAM DESIGNATION? > ethanol CONFIRMED. TEAM ETHANOL MISSION PARAMETERS? PLEASE BE ADVISED SYSTEM ENERGY LEVELS ARE CRITICALLY LOW. > make contact with sysadmin > contact point entrance 6 > temporary access level 1 granted CONFIRMED. MISSION PARAMETERS SET. TEMPORARY ACCESS LEVEL 1 GRANTED. The screen clears itself, and instead of the familiar retrospec logo, there is simply TEAM ETHANOL as a designation. the application will refuse to show anything other than a map, with one point highlighted in red. it is, of course, up to team members to decide whether or not they approach the access point. Team Ethanol's access point is in the Recollé Graveyard. Team members will find the grave of "G. Mahoney" will move aside to reveal catacombs so long as they approach it in groups of two or more team members. Only Team Ethanol team members can see or enter the catacombs at this time. Please see the Objective 1 toplevel for more information on what they can see when they travel further down the tunnels. This is the Team Ethanol Event Log. You are free to toplevel and thread as you choose on this log, but only team members may utilize this log. Important links to mod toplevels are: Mod Questions & Participation Reporting. Please be aware you are responsible for reporting your own participation & objective completion efforts with links; the moderators will try to keep up with threads, but as we are currently running several teams with participation, we require you to keep us up to date! Please read each of the toplevels and instructions!
The schedule for Team Ethanol is as follows: WEEK 1: Objective 1; CLEAR: M. MahoneyObjectives 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. NPC interactions will be rnged from your team roster once per week, and toplevels for those will also be posted, although all team members can hear/see these interactions! |

As to the other two, if Rosalind does try to blast them with fire, they will definitely catch aflame. Which would, of course, give them two flaming zombies with swords approaching. They are burning up, but it will take time to burn away entirely, apparently, and they can totally still try to attack in that time. It's cool being undead!
Hopefully she had a plan for dodging the flaming zombie brigade.
no subject
Which would be great, except...
They're still moving. Orion's eyes blink wide, and he's not certain if that's more from fear or surprise. But shit, it's bad either way, isn't it?
He glances at the flaming Zombies, and back at the one he kicked over, and he quickly stomps to crush the fallen one's hand to yank it's sword from it. If he's going to keep this up, he needs something, regardless that he's never practiced with a sword before.
no subject
Perhaps she should have anticipated the living dead not having nerves or pain receptors, but honestly, who thinks of that in the midst of panic? Rosalind steps back again, giving Orion ample room to swing that sword. At least he can see now, right? But god, it'd be helpful if someone else were to come and join them . . .
[note to mods: Yukiko's gonna leap in here, in case that pointed narration didn't clue you in!]
no subject
"Look out" she called out as she lunged to join the fray, her fan slashing at a zombie's leg, her Persona driving at another with her sword.
no subject
The third zombie who Yukiko slashed at with her fan will cut her with it's blade, turning quickly and undeterred for the moment by the leg wound.
no subject
"Are you fucking serious!?" Okay, Orion's definitely pissed. Why the Hell did Yukiko come in? He's having a hard enough time defending just himself and Ros, and now he has to take care of Yukiko, too. Despite that she seems to have her own means of defense, she did trigger a trap after all.
He swings the sword messily to behead the closest one and then charges toward Yukiko's direction to try and stop the one headed for her.
"If you're that stupid, why did you come in here!?" he demands as he swings.
no subject
"Cut off its legs!" she adds after a moment; surely that will help. Even if it doesn't feel pain, it'll be hindered by a lack of mobility.
no subject
"There's monsters to deal with, and we'll be fine!" she shouts as she drops to one knee and rakes the blade of her fan across the zombie's wound, neatly severing the zombified flesh.
Her Persona spins in place, sword flashing in a wide arc at the one engaged with her, intending to lop off her opponent's head.
no subject
Out of the dark come two golems imbued with ice and stone magic, called into being to defend the tomb they were born in. The one who did not attack Yukiko smashes its fist into the ground, covering the entire floor of the still-dark crypt with ice.
no subject
Unfortunately, he's got nothing for that ice, and he even ends up slipping and falling backward by the newly developed ice rink. He tries to hold a steady grip on that sword, mostly trying to keep himself from getting injured by it. When he manages to sit up, seeing the new monsters does nothing to help him. For a moment, he's as frozen as the floor by the pure terror of what he's witnessing.
If this is some sort of joke, it would seriously be great if it would stop.
no subject
At least she can fight these two reliably.
Rosalind exhales harshly, and with it comes another burst of flames: first towards the floor, trying to melt some of the ice near Orion, and then a larger burst aimed firmly towards the golems. She's trying to hit them dead-on, and hopefully some of the warmth will head Yukiko's way.
no subject
Staggering to her feet, helped by Rosalind's warmth a little, she sets herself to dodge and has her Persona lob a wave of fire at the new enemies...
no subject
no subject
He feels the warmth beneath his hands as the ice melts to water, and that gives him a little bit of common sense back. He launches up and flings himself back against one of the walls.
Come on, Orion, focus. Deep breathing. Deep breaths. His eyes are still wide as he shakily breathes, focusing on the monsters. This isn't okay, not even a little. Orion might not be so against therapy after this. He can feel the hilt of the sword slip inside his grasp from his palm sweating so much.
He wants to act, really. But the only thing he has in his mind is to guard his back and try to run. This is a really shitty time to have a panic attack.
no subject
"Distract!" she snaps at him. "Now! Draw their attention, force them to come forward--" Because if he can, she and Yukiko can try and sneak from behind. It won't be easy right now, but if they'll stagger forward a few steps . . . but for the time being, Rosalind focuses on dashing towards Yukiko, going to stand side-by-side with her, trying like hell to combat the wave of ice with as much fire as she can muster.
no subject
"I am getting really tired of monsters that can just ignore everything I can do," she growls. But she'd seen the stone shift some, which meant it could defend itself where the stone could move? Something like that. She wasn't sure. But it looked like it did something, which was a start.
"Sumeo-Okami, let's go!"
This time, she threw out a Maragion, the biggest spell she could manage, hoping that the larger burst of fire would wash over the bits that the stone couldn't protect to get at the ice...
no subject

He glances down at the sword in his hand.
Fuck, this is such a bad idea.
With all of his strength, he hurls the sword at the monsters to get their attention. The thing is, now he's entirely weaponless.
A shaky breath and his voice cracks a bit as he cups his hands around his mouth, shouting out to the monsters.
"H-hey, cowards, over here! You all ain't scarier than a pile of pebbles on the beach!" Lies. Completely and utterly. There totally isn't sweat dripping down the back of Orion's neck. Totally not. Still, he's prepared to run another direction, if they follow him, to try and lure them away from Ros and Yukiko.
He's counting on you, Ros. Please save him before he dies.

She's barely able to stand after that, her Persona fading out as she sprawls on the ground. There's only so much she can take, so maybe if she stays down they'll stop throwing that ice at her.
no subject
Once it's over they're now stranded in a room with a closed door in complete darkness, though, so that's probably less nice.
no subject
They... won?
Orion's knees give out and he collapses to the ground, laughing faintly. Holy shit, they won! Way too close for comfort.
And speaking of which, he remembers that Yukiko fell. It takes him a moment to stand back up, but he tries to look for Yukiko in the dark, nudging at things gently with his foot until he taps what he's pretty sure is a person and kneels down beside her.
"Hey, get up." Not the nicest thing to say, but it's what he says. If she doesn't stir, he'll start trying to check her for a pulse.
breaking tag order real fast.
It stung, almost as badly as the frost. These people she barely knew had to help her instead of the other way around. She'd just mucked it up for them, made it worse.
The touch to her wrist breaks her out of the spell though, her eyes opening slowly.
"I'm not dead," she said slowly, sitting up as best she could. Her head felt foggy, but she managed to call out her True Self for a flickering instant, a wave of healing light washing over her and both the strangers.
It takes some of the sting off, and while she still feels drained, the ache in her joints vanishes. Slowly she staggers to her feet in the dark, breathing heavily.
"I can do more, if anyone's feeling more beat up than I am."
a quick trading places
Slowly, feeling along the wall, Rosalind approaches the other two.
"We need to figure a way out," she says. "The others will notice we're missing, but I'd rather not linger here for hours." And that said, she'll start patting the walls, looking for something. Anything. A button. A switch. A convenient spare door, ready to be opened.
