TEAM ETHANOL LOG

TEAM ETHANOL
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. Mahoney
WEEK 2: Objective 2; IC mission briefing; CLEAR: W. Guo
WEEK 3: Objective 3; IC mission briefing
24th: Objective 3 closes (8PM EST), Final city-wide log posted (9PM EST)
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. 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!

[ OKAY WHAT THE FUCK, WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT DOESN'T WORK THIS TIME. sena has no choice but to get dragged along by chuuya's weirdo floaty powers like a used doll - it really is a miracle that he hasn't gotten sick from this yet, but it's only a matter of time. who knows, maybe that'll defeat the monster.

but nah, he'd rather not find out. ]


I'm a model; of course I can't fight. [ he looks right up ahead, and there seems to be some sort of ledge on the wall across the hall. ] Just put me up there and -- maybe try breaking those bones when I bomb them before they form again? I don't know!

[ he's pretty much been winging it all this time - does this mean chuuya's gonna throw him there. oh god. ]
doublesmall: (to the evenness i fake)

[personal profile] doublesmall 2017-08-07 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
[he can probably make sena light enough to throw, but he hasn't actually tried doing that to a person? so he's got a chance of misjudging it here.

he decides that's probably a bad idea, so instead they're just going to go upside down and traverse the ceiling to get over there while chuuya quietly hopes the skeletons don't also climb upside the fuck down.]


Alright, you stay here and do that. I'll go keep these assholes busy.

[starting with the ones that were closest to them so they hopefully don't get to sena! (he will next round, anyway.)]
adoringpast: (initial)

[personal profile] adoringpast 2017-08-07 01:59 pm (UTC)(link)
[ holy fuck, sena can never get used to this. he has so many questions right now, like how can chuuya do this weird gravity thing so easily, but maybe he got it from the QR codes as well?

but - ugh. must not get sick from this. sena is a bit slow in getting his bombs from his fannypack because they all might fall to the ground and could cause a cave-in, and he REALLY doesn't want to listen to vera saying that she told him so... but he manages to get three bombs and tosses them at the skeleton creatures. they break apart at the explosions, so chuuya should make good work at destroying the pieces into pieces before they can reform. ]
doublesmall: (to think someone's in your bed)

[personal profile] doublesmall 2017-08-08 12:07 am (UTC)(link)
[(okay but are they anywhere actually important because we're both down to roll those dice if we're not going to definitely cockblock everybody else by doing it, let's get dangerous maybe.)

once those three skeletons explode, chuuya quickly leaves sena behind to go do what he does best: hit things, very hard. he drops heavily to the ground, weighting himself to make more of an impact and aiming to land on at least some of those pieces in an effort to break them (and hopefully get the other skelewolves' attention).

...which might actually also be a bad idea in the catacombs if explosions are but. yolo?]
adoringpast: (WHAT)

[personal profile] adoringpast 2017-08-08 01:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ (seconding on the cave-in if it doesn't impede the other team members and their mission! o7)

Oh god, this is bad, and one of them grabs ahold of sena's ankles. He yelps, and does the most boneheaded thing and throws yet another bomb at those fuckers. The bomb will go off, of course, and sena might fall off the ceiling and into the ground?? What the fuck is he doing

Oh well. Hopefully those bones will break his fall. Like, actually break and not form again. Then again, this is the worst track record so far. ]

doublesmall: (well of course you did)

[personal profile] doublesmall 2017-08-08 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
[i attack the darkness

no but. on the plus side, sena's little trip down to the ground makes it easier for chuuya to reach out and grab hold of his hand as they fall; he lightens their weights to cushion the landing, but they're still probably going to be roughed up from falling down along with chunks of the ground and skeleton monsters. also their shoes are gonna be wet and squishy thanks to landing in the water, which is truly the worst of the consequences, here.

chuuya pulls himself up with a groan, brushing himself off and just sort of- reaching out blindly to make sure sena is still there with him as he fumbles to pull out his phone for a little light. he probably only has like 50% battery by now.]


Son of a bitch. You alive over there, kid?
adoringpast: (initial)

[personal profile] adoringpast 2017-08-08 09:19 am (UTC)(link)
I... have a name, you know...

[ yep, even after jeopardizing their lives, sena still has the nerve to sass back. he certainly looks worse for wear after that explosion - there's a couple of cuts on his cheek and forehead, and some rather deep gashes on his arms and leg. oh god, he's never gotten this badly injured in his entire life... but at least chuuya's powers lessened their impact from the fall so at least he wasn't That close to death.

even so, he grits his teeth as he grips at the collapsed rocks that covered the skeleton beasts that they've defeated to pull himself up. he's alive but barely breathing, yeah. ]


'm fine. Where are we...?

doublesmall: (and i don't have the right)

[personal profile] doublesmall 2017-08-08 04:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Do I look like I know? We just fell who knows how far, jesus-

[Chuuya uses the phone light to look Sena over, frowning at those gashes; he's no medical expert, but he is pretty sure suspicious water should probably not get in those, and with one on his leg--

yeah Chuuya just shoves his phone into Sena's hands and scoops him up, then heads down the tunnel. He's not uninjured either, but he assumes he has more stamina than model boy.]


Here. You're in charge of the light. If we find a way out, talk to Yukiko, maybe she can patch you up.
adoringpast: (need that picture of you)

[personal profile] adoringpast 2017-08-08 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
H-Hey, watch it--

[ but he gets lifted up anyway in chuuya's arms, which is odd considering how... not tall the other male is, and as much as sena would really want to complain right now, he really doesn't have the right to do that considering that he's the one who brought the two of them into this mess in the first place.

well, at least he's not too heavy, what with his meticulous diet even with all the sudden gorging on sweets last month. he will live.

so he pouts, and points the phone light at the tunnel ahead. ]


We got a nurse in our team? [ talk about convenient. ] How... how deep is the tunnel anyway?
doublesmall: (i get a little bit genghis khan)

[personal profile] doublesmall 2017-08-08 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know, like- a hundred feet? [great guess, chuuya. he's just throwing a number out there, because-] Listen, I didn't build the place.

[but he will valiantly carry his light-holder on until they reach that fork, pausing to peer down each of them.]

Well, shit. Stay quiet for a second, see if we hear anything, I guess? If there's any more weird noises we're going the other way.

[he'll be looking at the paths in the meantime, seeing if they look any different from each other or if they're in a coin flip situation here.]
adoringpast: (Default)

[personal profile] adoringpast 2017-08-08 08:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[ sena can do that, staying silent for a whole minute and see if there's any difference between the two paths. but just in case there's none, he digs into his fannypack again to grab a coin for this certain situation.

well... is there? ]
doublesmall: (and i don't have the right)

[personal profile] doublesmall 2017-08-09 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
[voices or light... tough call. the voices could be their teammates! but the light could be important or an escape, maybe.

chuuya shakes his head and nods to the coin in sena's hand. it's a good thing it's a coin because guess who was going to get dropped on his butt if he pulled out a fckn bomb again (hint: it's sena.)]


We could probably argue a while on this, but I don't feel like being stuck here forever, so... heads right, tails left?

[we literally rolled a die ooc i just want you to know.]
adoringpast: (confused)

[personal profile] adoringpast 2017-08-09 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ let him fucking live chuuya

but he nods, and flips the coin in the air, catches it and slaps it onto his wrist.

Heads. ]


I don't really have any other complains anyway, but there better not be any monsters at thre end of that fucking tunnel. I can't fight back like this.

[ PLEASE HAVE MERCY ON HIM HE HAS LEARNED HIS LESSON, PROMISE ]

doublesmall: (and dip into when we need)

[personal profile] doublesmall 2017-08-09 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
[once they reach that door, chuuya finally sets izumi down- his arms won't hold up forever, and it'll probably be more useful if they can both investigate this thing. he's at least careful about it, though, leaving one arm supporting him for a moment while he makes sure izumi can stand before he finally lets go completely.]

Well, good news and bad news. Good news is this doesn't look like it's gonna kill us, but- how the fuck do we open it.

[and then he's just going to very carefully reach out and set a hand on that strange door, looking over it-- chuuya's specifically looking at the outstretched hands, to see if there's like, a symbol or a hole for something to go there or anything.]
adoringpast: (to that shit on the radio)

[personal profile] adoringpast 2017-08-09 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ okay, thanks dude. he's wincing when chuuya carefully puts him down, but he can still walk and talk, though he's kind of limping a bit due to the injuries on his leg. he's standing back though as he watches chuuya check out the door, checking his own phone to see if it's still in one piece...

yeah, it's fine. but no reception. ]


What if there's some secret code in the guy's hands or something.
