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!

[The meta text asks, the meta text shall receive.]

Well, we'll call it the graveyard diet. [At least one of them could use it, probably.

She could suggest landing on Kaguya's shoulders, but that would be...mean? She's not the one who needs the graveyard diet, though.
]

Ummm... Hmph. [Nui stomps over to one of the dead bears and starts dragging it over by the arms like some macabre Weekend at Bernie's.] Hey, it worked before.
saburai: (ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ)

[personal profile] saburai 2017-08-09 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
[ If Nui needs any help pulling over the broken bear, Kaguya will offer her aid; otherwise, she'll wait until Nui's done and in position. ]

Are you ready?

[ When she is, Kaguya will send a pressure wave upward, trying to push Nui up towards the top of the statue. ]
eyestitch: (☺ vingt-quatre)

[personal profile] eyestitch 2017-08-09 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
Let's get this over with.

[Nui shrieks when she's blasted into the air, though whether it's a scream of terror or enjoyment is really anyone's best guess. Her legs are drawn up tightly underneath her, but she remembers to reach out and snatch that fucker with a sort of grossed-out] Waugh!

[She splats back down onto the bears and holds the skull aloft.] Horatio...we've been looking for you.
adoringpast: (need that picture of you)

[personal profile] adoringpast 2017-08-09 04:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ um

uh

okay??? sena, his face and body a bit banged up, is just as shocked because - ]


How the fuck did you guys get here?
doublesmall: (i get a little bit genghis khan)

[personal profile] doublesmall 2017-08-09 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
Here's hoping you had a better trip than we did, whatever happened.

[sena's buddy is also a bit banged up, and also probably more damp than sena considering model boy here got carried... gross.]

Just tell me you know the way out of here, I'm sick and tired of this damn place.
saburai: ((⊙︿⊙✿))

[personal profile] saburai 2017-08-09 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ That was a bit of creative use of these newfound powers, but at least it seems to have worked out. Now they have a shiny skull, which should... hopefully be of some use.

The two new people in the room catch her attention more immediately, though.
]

Honestly, I'm not entirely sure what happened... one minute we were in the graveyard, and the next the ground collapsed beneath us. We're lucky there were those stuffed bears to break our fall.

[ She's unaware that there were any bombs involved in that collapse... ]

Where did you two come from?
eyestitch: (36)

[personal profile] eyestitch 2017-08-09 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Of course the door closes behind them... Assuming that there was probably a staircase up or something that they could have come down, Nui hisses between her teeth. She's currently kneeling on a pile of dead siren Monokumas, clutching a crystal skull, filthy, blood on the front of her costume where it dripped from her nose.]

One of the bears exploded, but it definitely wasn't underneath us... Probably one of those stupid. monsters from the convention caused an earthquake.

[Sena's lifespan has been increased by +45 seconds!]
adoringpast: (your papa-paparazzi)

[personal profile] adoringpast 2017-08-09 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
[ OH

OH GOD

he's definitely not sweating profusely, oh no, sena HATES to sweat. but why are his eyes shifting back and forth? ]


Y-Yeah. Stupid monsters. So annoying.

[ HE'S JUST GONNA LIMP AWAY ]

Is there another way out of here? Like another door? Or do we have to dig our way out?
doublesmall: (speak no feeling)

[personal profile] doublesmall 2017-08-09 05:04 am (UTC)(link)
[yeah no, chuuya got dropped down who knows how far, he had to save their butts, he carried your ass through possibly-gross underground crypt water... he is shoving sena right in the path of this bus, you're welcome.]

You know what else is annoying? When someone throws a goddamn bomb at them and makes a giant hole in the floor.

[POINTED LOOK AT SENA... chuuya's got his arms folded, looking totally unimpressed.

own ur shit]


You're lucky you're not under a pile of rocks right now, kid.
saburai: (dangerous ♙ in the art of kendo)

[personal profile] saburai 2017-08-09 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ After hearing that story... she's turning to frown at Sena. ]

Please tell me you weren't actually stupid enough to use bombs underground. You could have gotten us all killed.

[ I mean, a cave-in is one thing, but some idiot blowing up the ground below them? That's completely avoidable. ]
eyestitch: (73)

thanks for the opportunity, mods

[personal profile] eyestitch 2017-08-09 05:22 am (UTC)(link)
[45 seconds have passed.

From her Monokuma cushion, Nui's head snaps around with impressive speed. That little weasel, sweating and backing away! And after she'd said she was worried he'd ruin his pretty face!
]

You? [She's incredulous at first, as if unable to believe that little Sena, who she spends so much time harassing and maybe, in some weird way, even enjoying, could have fucked up so badly.

Nui giggles. Gosh, it's so funny! Horatio gets put aside (hopefully handed to Kaguya) for a second, and she stands up slowly.
] You know, Sena...I'm glad you guys are ok. [She's on her way over there, maybe to inspect their injuries?] Because guys who lie to girls...

Really piss me off! [And she sweeps at his legs with the riot shield.]
adoringpast: (initial)

[personal profile] adoringpast 2017-08-09 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
Nngh--!

[ you got your wish, mods and whoever's watching this shitshow of a thread. sena of course falls over and lands on his already scratched-up knees. at the back of his mind he already knows he deserved this - actually it's weird how chuuya didn't say anything about the explosion but now he knows - but still. ]

Wh-What else am I supposed to do?! We were under attack by those skeleton things! I just had to do it!

[ sucks in a pained breath in between his teeth because MAN THIS HURTS OK, NUI REALLY DOESN'T HAVE A HEART AT ALL maybe ]

Fine! It's borderline suicidal of me to do that. I know that now, so just -- Just punish me later once we get out of here, okay?!
eyestitch: (☺ dix-huit)

[personal profile] eyestitch 2017-08-09 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
[Luckily, Nui doesn't completely throw him to the ground and sit on him to beat his face into the ground like she really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really wants to.

What she does do is lean over in front of Sena, putting the top edge of the riot shield close to his shin as if to keep him there. She pulls her costume emergency scissors out of her pocket and brandishes them.
]

I stabbed a bear with these! Do you know how stupid it was? But it worked super well!

[Shoulders heaving a little bit as she inhales and exhales to calm down, Nui finally, just slightly, smiles.]

It just had to be done!
adoringpast: (smouldering gaze)

[personal profile] adoringpast 2017-08-09 01:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[ ah yes, as the saying goes, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. sena has always joked that nui can do more than committing arson and just go right for actual homicide, but he never thought that he'd be at the receiving end of her wrath. jesus fuck, that's terrifying.

but, stubborn as always, he still manages to stare right up at her defiantly despite all the injuries he'd gotten from the explosion and from being pushed down. it really is like staring death right in the eyes. ]


It really is stupid. Then again, you've always been that resourceful, haven't you?

[ that's the closest thing to a compliment so... maybe that should calm nui down a bit? maybe?? but whatever, he struggles to stand up but he does so anyway. ]

You can kill me later or whatever. Let's just go.
doublesmall: (but the waves hit my head)

[personal profile] doublesmall 2017-08-09 03:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[chuuya's already decided he likes this girl, tbh. anyone who'll stab a bear with scissors clearly doesn't fuck around.

but now that the door's open, they should probably get a move on, so as much as he doesn't want to be the person interrupting her and sena's moment here--]


I'm with model boy on this one. C'mon, you can put the fear of god into him out there, let's get the fuck out of here before anything else goes wrong.
saburai: (ashamed ♙ courtesy and honor)

[personal profile] saburai 2017-08-09 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Kaguya'd been standing back during the altercation, holding the skull (apparently named Horatio?) for safekeeping. But once the exit opens, she'll have to agree with the trouble-makers. ]

...I agree. We should take advantage of a way out while we can. Anything that keeps us from being trapped down here permanently.

[ Plus presumably this skull will come in handy for something, though she has no idea what. ]
eyestitch: (38)

[personal profile] eyestitch 2017-08-09 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[Her smiles snaps off her face quickly and she pauses, scissors and shield raised, looking surprised. Actually, really surprised maybe; when was the last time she let her temper get the better of her? If Sena couldn't even really react to that, Nui thinks, he's not scared enough. She'll have to make good on the offers of further retribution everyone else is putting forward.]

Of course, of course! [She releases Sena, then bounds across the room to reclaim her little skull friend.]

I know just where he can go! [She points at the skull.] ...If we ever get back there.

[It'll be very exciting getting out into the hallway again, at which point she'll immediately start dragging them toward the console.]
adoringpast: (doubt maybe?)

[personal profile] adoringpast 2017-08-09 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[ right, out they go. He's a little surprised once he finds out that they've come out if room 13 — talk about unlucky — but he'll point it out later after he goes off to find yukiko for some healing.

The others will take over from here on out, so gogogo! ]
doublesmall: (crop circles in the carpet)

[personal profile] doublesmall 2017-08-09 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[yeah please don't die sena? that would kind of suck, go find some healing.

nui seems to know what she's doing, though, so chuuya follows behind her, because he's been too busy fighting skeletons and being stuck underground to actually go look at the terminal very closely. time to fix that.

he's just going to be here in the background keeping an eye on things really, so go for it, team skull. o/ he will tap back in if necessary! like if the meta text decides something does need to go wrong after all.]
