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!

[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.
doublesmall: (crop circles in the carpet)

[personal profile] doublesmall 2017-08-09 04:14 am (UTC)(link)
[and chuuya's just setting a hand on one of the door-hands while he inspects it closer, because why the heck not, it's There. there's one high five?

do you want to do the thing, sena.]

[personal profile] adoringpast 2017-08-09 04:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ squints, but. okay? he's gonna approach the door and slaps the drawn hand with his own for a high five.

this is so stupid but please god this better work ]
