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! |

M. Mahoney gets a pretty blank stare at first, and Nui throws her arm out to intersect with Chuuya's reply. Yeah, they're great at retrieving things, but that's definitely not the only question she wants answered.]
Do you just, like, live down here? I mean, this is totally going to affect my answer because I definitely would not do work for a zombie!
[But also, she just stepped out of a fucking sarcophagus????]
no subject
As to what you would be after next...I require mobile teams to deal with the prime malefactors. You're certainly much quicker about asking about the next step than the others, I have to say. [ threw her of her game tbh ] In order to retrieve those lost.
no subject
that last part instantly has chuuya's attention, though.]
'Lost' as in the people who're out of contact?
[because he definitely has at least two who he'd damn well better get back in touch with eventually. nevermind the malefactors part, he's more concerned about clearing that up first.]
no subject
[She leans forward a little bit, though, at the mention of the "lost" but, more specifically, at the mention of the "prime malefactors."]
Really, really? In that case, that would mean that someone caused all of this on purpose, right? The monsters, the kidnapping...the whatever else.
no subject
I really couldn't say; there hasn't been time to figure out what caused the anomaly. I'm afraid my entire focus has been reversing it, not tracing the source - that can wait until I have more of a staff back at my disposal. But as to the "lost" - yes, those who are coming up as "out of contact". I can't retrieve them with so many twists of unreality about, but I should be able to if all of you will take care of that for me. I can't leave things unattended and Fitzwilliam is...
[ ... ]
...well, I think he'd get killed, frankly.
[ he's not a good fighter, probably. ]
no subject
[i'm really sorry to the peanut gallery, because chuuya honestly does not care what anyone else thinks about this idea. he only really needs a moment to consider.]
If that's gonna get my employees and my niece back, then yeah, I'm in. Anyone who doesn't give a shit can bail and go home, far as I'm concerned.
[and if it doesn't get them back-
he'll worry about that later. maybe doing this will give him an idea of exactly whose fault that'd be.
at some point he might remember to like, ask who the hell she is, maybe.]
no subject
...But, isn't he being a little hasty? HELLO, THE WOMAN WALKED OUT OF A FUCKING!!!!! SARCOPHAGUS AND SHE STABBED A BEAR WITH SCISSORS TODAY.]
Hey, hold on a second? He wants to save everyone, right? And that's fine, but... [She taps a finger to her temple, suggesting that there's more in this lady's brain than she's letting on.] Just how are you doing all of this? I don't trust magic tricks I can't see!
no subject
no subject
Who said 'everyone'? I mean, yeah, that'd be nice and all, but I'm not really in this for all of them.
[it's like, three to five people probably. sorry group 2 but he'd leave half of you there if he had to pick.]
-she's got a point about this, though. Not the hologram thing, but- how is this even gonna work?
[not that he isn't totally down, but now that nui mentions it, how... do you fix unreality... that sounds pretty huge?]
no subject
[She puffs her cheeks out, still thinking.] How do you know about this stuff and what causes it, anyway? We'll need to know if we want to save everyone like this guy wants!
no subject
[ but like?? ]
And it is rather my job to know about temporal anomalies. I'm a temporal-spatial technician.
no subject
but okay, that sounds... reasonable enough, probably. he's not a scientist, he's going to have to just take her word for it.]
Is what's going on with this place one of those certain situations? Or was it supposed to be set up like this? [you know, with the doors and riddles and puzzles and shit.]
Are we just expecting more of the same, or what?
no subject
[If anything counts as "unreality," it's fruit with faces and a complete lack of two of the most common colors. Right? They've gotta be the same.
Nui lifts the riot shield she took from the bear's corpse before raising her last point.] I just want to live my life, so I'm on board with this if that's what it takes! But, you know, some of us really aren't cut out just for fighting monsters...
no subject
[ IT'S NOT THAT IMPORTANT... ]
But no, it won't be all the same. I won't say there won't be any more of the creatures, but some of the prime malefactors are certain "situations" that shouldn't be occurring and need to be resolved. To some degree we need to play along with the absurdity in order to end it...unfortunately. I imagine it may be the same for those trapped outside. In any case...all of you are free to walk away or not as you choose. I do not have time to entrust tasks to those who are not willing to work together in order to retrieve those lost.
[ basically: if you don't plan to help you don't have to icly. so characters who don't want to can leave and aren't being kept. ]
Beyond that, I can offer level 2 access to two people chosen from you - no healers, though, can have it.
[ also, they have to be characters who met participation! ]
no subject
[this company is officially nuts.
chuuya shakes his head, then glances back to everyone else. if they're going to pick two people, this may as well be a group decision! but.
his attention turns back to her for one more question first.]
Before we decide that, what exactly does having level 2 access mean?
no subject
She plants the shield back on the ground and leans her cheek on it miserably.] Yeah, and, like, what makes a good level 2 candidate? A promotion should be well-earned or granted to somebody who knows what to do with it!
If you're going to pick, I'm sure I can come up with a few suggestions for you.
no subject
[ so there is that. ]
no subject
You heard the lady. Volunteers, suggestions, anyone who wants to get the fuck out can also say so right now.
[with a shrug, he adds-]
I'll do it if you don't want to, I can at least fight, but if anyone's itching to be a monster magnet then you go right ahead.
no subject
When given a chance to speak, though, she did so readily.]
I am unsuited to this kind of combat, but I have weapons should you need them.
[Mostly the swords and shield Zaveid was currently pack muling, but there's the poleaxe in her hands too. Amelia was slightly more hesitant to give that away, though it wasn't doing any good just sitting here.
Chuuya has some demerit points already though.]
no subject
[Yukiko looks down at her hands and shakes her head.]
That won't work for me. He said no healers. And I'm able to use healing magic through my Persona.
[That rules her out.]
But I can stick close to whoever does take it, just in case.
no subject
I'm going. And none of you's gonna stop me. You guys can confiscate all my bombs if you have to, but I'm still gonna go.
[ he'll just borrow a sword from amelia if it ever comes down to it. that and he can just make more bombs if push comes to shove? take that, nui. ]
no subject
Anyway, my power heals too, even if it only works on me.

mods i'm replying to chuuya here for the sake of the npc thread order!!
[Chuuya tried to save him, she guesses, but that stubbornness and urge to fight back against her got the better of him. Sena's really, truly, TRULY cute! Nui's face splits into a splitting grin.] So he's one!
That Orion kid too, I guess? Unless anyone still has any objections?
no subject
[ she'll grant access if so. ]
no subject
[please sena. please.
and after glancing at orion and seeing how pale he looks--]
... and as long as this one doesn't throw up or something.
