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!

Orion's focus is jolted when Ros shouts at him. Distract. Jesus Christ, how is he supposed to do that? How can he force them to come forward.

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.

The moment one of them (or both of them) turn towards Orion, Rosalind takes her chance. Even if they don't expose their backs fully when their attention is on him, she can at least try and dart in closer, aiming for their sides and as much of their backs as she can get. Dark fire once again fills the room with heat, but it's more intense this time: Rosalind is putting her all into this attack, hoping she can overwhelm the golems with sheer, aha, firepower.

Surprised that her magic has apparently done nothing again, Yukiko gets hit with another super-effective freezing blast that sends her to the ground, rolling away and covered in ice.

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.

Orion covers his ears when the beasts scream. Good God, what an awful sound. But he watches as they melt and for a moment, he's bewildered.

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.

Yukiko doesn't stir at first, the freezing cold having done some serious damage to her. It cut more keenly than any knife, in some ways, a tradeoff for the power she did have. A power that...as she lays there in the dark...seems rather pointless. Those things had just shrugged off everything she could throw at them. Just like the mummies. And she'd had more success at basically everything with her fan skills that she'd just remembered over the talents that she'd spend months training in herself.

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."
originallutece: a flying cityyyy? (talk; do you want to build)

a quick trading places

[personal profile] originallutece 2017-08-08 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, Rosalind thinks muzzily, worn out now that the creatures are dead. Like Souji's healing, except she hopes that hadn't come at Yukiko's expense. The girl had looked worn out to begin with; there's no need for her to drain herself further. But her voice is steady enough, and by the sounds of it, she's gotten to her feet.

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.

"Good." Orion gets up and is momentarily surprised by the healing light. "Huh... that's a useful party trick."

Consider that as close to a thank you as you'll get at the moment, Yukiko. Sorry.

Orion's back to the phone trick, hovering its dim light over surfaces to try and find things. Though, he's a little more jumpy. For the love of God, please don't let anymore monsters be in here. And yea, he's definitely not touching those tombs. Fuck. That.

When he sees the lettering on the main door, he squints at it, and it takes him a few moments to figure out that it's written backwards.

"Wi...th... Without... a ref... le... reflection? What... path... What path will o... pen. .............. Hey, is anyone good at riddles? I don't get this shit."
burningblossoms: (Skeptical)

[personal profile] burningblossoms 2017-08-08 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
Well for her next trick, she pulls out her flashlight from the emergency supply kit Minako had given her and flips that on. It's not too powerful, but it's...certainly better than fumbling in the dark.

"Without a Reflection what path will open?" she repeats. "The other room I was in had the same inscription. Only it wasn't reversed. There was also a weird lighted door that I couldn't see through."

Which gets her thinking. And that means it's time for her to just say what's on her mind...

"When isn't there a reflection? I don't see a mirror or anything, do you?"
bitemefightme: (sigh)

[personal profile] bitemefightme 2017-08-08 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
((OOC: Ros-mun has told us to proceed without her for the time being, putting Ros in auto-pilot. She'll join us again later. Feel free to proceed with mod comments after Yukiko for the time being.))

"The ice maybe? ...No, you guys melted that." This is seriously stupid. Really. Don't people have better things to do besides create an Indianapolis Jones copout? "So you had this in the other room, then."

Orion looks at the locked doors.

"Maybe there's a mirror behind one of them?" he shrugs. He's seriously got nothing when it comes to puzzles like this. It's easier to just beat things into oblivion. Not that it's an invitation for more monsters.

He goes on to examine the doors first, pushing, touching, and shoving, but to no avail.
burningblossoms: (Thoughtful)

[personal profile] burningblossoms 2017-08-08 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yeah, three doors. Tombs, basically a mirror of this one."

She pauses...thinking of something and walking towards the top most door, the twin of Room 2.

"No, not quite a mirror. One door was lit up like a Christmas tree, the one opposite this one, if you were looking at it in a mirror. That inscription though...maybe we need to make this room like that one?"

She holds out her hand and...yeah, a little fireball appears there. Hovering.

"I'm going to light these torches and see what happens."

And...lighting the ones next to Room 7 so it's lit up like Room 2 across the main hall.
