TEAM DAQUIRI

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 Daquiri roster: Baren Kumou, Bucky Barnes, Futaba Sakura, Hitori Togusa, Iwatooshi, Izuku MIdoriya, John Steinbeck, Koutarou Takamura, Lalli Hotakainen, Mikleo, Yu Narukami. 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? > daquiri CONFIRMED. TEAM DAQUIRI MISSION PARAMETERS? PLEASE BE ADVISED SYSTEM ENERGY LEVELS ARE CRITICALLY LOW. > make contact with sysadmin > contact point entrance 1 > 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 DAQUIRI 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 Daquiri's access point is in the Retrospec Basement. Team members will find they can access the Retrospec building and utilize the elevator to reach the Basement level so long as they approach it in a group of two or more team members. Only Team Daquiri team members can enter the Retrospec building at all at this time. Please see the Objective 1 toplevel for more information on what they can see when they enter the door! This is the Team Daquiri 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 Daquiri is as follows: WEEK 1: Objective 1; CLEAR: Maurice; Miss Gracie WEEK 2: Objective 2; IC mission briefing; CLEAR: J. Wiseman 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!

[Somewhere in the beginning of Week 2, Baren skips through the disco room - he memorized the tiles - and then brings not only Tanuki-san but Vera Wang to see Gracie.]

Oh Miss Graciiiie! I've got some questions for you!

[just some technical stuff to clear some information up for him, nothing urgent]

[recollecters]

[ some cat treats will mysteriously appear in addition to more grapes, as gracie waves baren to a seat... ]

I'll try to be of help! Mr. Fitzwilliam said I'm your liaison now. And you are looking for little Miss Wiseman, aren't you?

[crudest]

[he'll take a seat and have some grapes and share with tanuki-san..... though he'll also hold Vera Wang out for Miss Gracie to hold]

You got it!

But see, I've run into some odd little things when I've been talking to other people on other teams. Little Miss Wiseman - can I get a first name? What's she like?

[recollecters]

[ gracie will of course hold and pet Vera wang ]

Miss Joanne, the one you're meant to be looking for. She's a very sweet girl - I've been looking after her since she was just a wee thing. But...oh, I wasn't near enough to her when everything happened, or maybe I could have helped.

[ :( ]

Usually she spends hours every day with me, and I know Mr. Fitzwilliam and Doctor Mahoney must be frantic not being able to get to her immediately themselves.

[crudest]

She's been with you...? [ . . . huh. Okay, noted.] Anyway, it doesn't sound like it's your fault, Miss Gracie. We'll get her back to you soon.

[reuniting families.... not what baren thought he'd be doing, but he has a weakness for women and children and mother figures. since the others aren't in this room, he doesn't seem to worry as much about showing that sort of compassion.]

Does she have any sort of connection to a Janet Wiseman?

[recollecters]

Oh, of course. Miss Joanne is Miss Janet's younger sister. They're quite close.

[ continued :( since the robomaid apparently very much wants joanne back. ]

[crudest]

[Yeah, that's what he thought.]

Aw, no long face, Miss Gracie. Vera, give her a big hug, will you?

[Vera will put her paws on Gracie's shoulders for a hug because Baren has apparently fucking trained his animals.]

I've heard something about a Mr. Baroque too. Is he familiar to you too?

[recollecters]

Oh, he's head of security. I know he was caught up in the anomalies but I don't think he'll be anything but fine.

[ zero concern in her voice apparently robomom only cares about joanne and like other employees who aren't mr. baroque who she apparently thinks will be fine. maurice was similarly not concerned.

also now gracie is hugging Vera wang this is fine ]

[crudest]

[ . . . welp. Baren snorts faintly at that.]

Got it.

Next: what about Dr. Mahoney? What kind of person is she? Is there a way to get back into her good graces once she's been annoyed? I need to help out another team that misstepped.

[recollecters]

She's very focused on her work. Well, she'd have to be to do what she's doing now. As to the good graces, it would depend on what happened, I suppose! Little Miss Wiseman may have better suggestions there than I would. Usually the Doctor is easy enough to work with so long as you stay on topic and don't endanger others, though. She's very big on no one taking risks that could be avoided, although she'll take them herself all the time.

[crudest]

A woman after my own heart...

[baren no]

Now Maury said that we won't be able to reach you all once this is all over since there are certain restrictions? How come? Is that why this place always looks empty when people try to visit?

[recollecters]

It isn't always here! But yes, normally Dr. Mahoney isn't fully in charge of things. Well, she's high up, but really she's a Technician, not anything else. The technician, if you say it based on skill. I don't think anyone but her could have held the city in place this long with everything happening. She's rather breaking a lot of rules actually interfering like this, but I think she'd ask what the point of not interfering was. Perhaps more rudely worded? She's very prickly but she doesn't care for anyone who won't help others. I suspect if she's decided not to work with someone, they must have indicated they would put their own selves before the lives of a lot of other people - but it's just a guess. She's gotten quite argumentative with people over that kind of thing before. It runs in the family.

[crudest]

There's.... there's a family....?

[he can't believe he'll have to start mapping out family trees]

[recollecters]

The Mahoneys? Oh, of course. I'm surprised you didn't know that! It must be one of those things...

[ that's all she can really say on that topic, ftr. ]

[crudest]

Seems like there's a lot of those things, Miss Gracie...

Makes me wonder - we're not supposed to know any of this, right? Meet any of you? Does that make you all... what, observers?

[Experimenters?]

[recollecters]

Oh, I think of us more as caretakers, dear. But I can't really say much on that topic.

[ she pats his arm in a robomotherly fashion. ]

[crudest]

[gracie is the only motherlike figure baren has ever had

can i get regains from npc threads]

S'alright, Miss Gracie, I figured as much.

Can you tell me a little bit about yourself, though? Are you really just here to pick up after everybody?

[does she have a wild life story about how she became the dancing queen]

[recollecters]

Oh, I look after the little ones, usually.

[ :)

mod consensus says "why not" ]

[crudest]

[lit, i'll put that in later]

There's more than just Joanne...?

[he's a curious boy i'm sorry lucy]

[recollecters]

I've been with the company for quite some time; I looked after Mr. Baroque when he was a wee thing, too.

[ buff morgan freeman ]

[crudest]

[WHAT DOES THAT MEAN]

How long's the company been around anyway?

[recollecters]

[ team brandywine wanted to know what mr. baroque looked like ]

I'm sorry, dear, I really couldn't say.

[ :( ]

[crudest]

No apologies, Miss Gracie, you've done plenty.

[and he grins, because he sincerely means it??? wow, no lies]

I hear that we're headed somewhere wet for our next adventure - can you hold onto Vera Wang until I get back? She'll keep you company.

[recollecters]

Oh, I'll come along! But Vera and I can stay in a little sub, I think, just inside. In case you need to speak with me!

[ :) it will be a robo sub just for the cat and robomaid though, which doesn't Do anything. ]

[crudest]

A sub, huh...

[though this is actually something that he wants just for himself now - ]

Do you know if there's an underwater camera around here that I can have, Miss Gracie? For keeping records and things.

[and then printing out pictures so that he can drown zoro in pictures of the ocean so he doesn't sulk]
