TEAM BRANDYWINE LOG

TEAM BRANDYWINE
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 Brandywine roster: Ann Takamaki, Chiyo Sakura, Elda Marker, Fynn Rygdea, Goro Majima, Jiroutachi, Kurama, May, Shouta Aizawa, Sora, Sorey, Souji Okia (PM).

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?

> brandywine

CONFIRMED. TEAM BRANDYWINE MISSION PARAMETERS?
PLEASE BE ADVISED SYSTEM ENERGY LEVELS ARE CRITICALLY LOW.

> make contact with sysadmin
> contact point entrance 2
> 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 BRANDYWINE 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 Brandywine's access point is in the Recollé University Basement. Team members will find a door in a hallway they've never seen before so long as they approach it in a group of two or more team members. Only Team Brandywine team members can see or enter the basement sublevels at this time. Please see the Objective 1 toplevel for more information on what they can see when they enter the door! The door looks like an ordinary key-card locked door, although it will open without need of a card for Team Brandywine members so long as the entry requirements are met.

This is the Team Brandywine 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 Brandywine is as follows:
WEEK 1: Objective 1; CLEAR: M. Mahoney; Maurice
WEEK 2: Objective 2; IC mission briefing
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!

[OH GOOD. HE WENT WITH IT.

Jirou smiles happily as he lets Fynn weave the rest of the lie. Of course they gain the approval and he's pulling Fynn with him to meet up with Sora before anyone can figure out that they're all full of shit. No need to let that be a thing!]


Hiiii! We did it!

[He giggles and just immediately goes to ask for cheese from this hangar.

Only to come back.]


Who is ready for a group dance? They won't give us cheese until we do.
rygdea: (Hrm...?)

[Yes, they better escape before Fynn gets too detailed in his grand lie about their alleged star ship. However, something about that last bit doesn't feel too much like a "lie" to him. It's somewhat odd.]

We did it? Did what? [Fynn looks between the two of them in mild confusion before suddenly realizing---] YES! I get to go home and friggin' sleep---wait, what?

[Dancing? Dancing? Who the fuck said they have to dance!? OH HELL NO!]

...oh goodie.

[Fynn clearly has concerns here.]
destiny_key: (Er...)

[personal profile] destiny_key 2017-08-23 02:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sora grins and shows off the paper he got from the flower lovers, before his look quickly changes back to confusion when Jirou returns again.]

Dancing?

[He's not much of a dancer, either. Then again, none of them probably are. Maybe if they're terrible enough together, they'll pass as good. Either way, Sora wants to try.]

Okay. How... What do we do? For a dance, I mean?
sakeplz: (Victory!)

[personal profile] sakeplz 2017-08-23 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
I do dances for my shows all the time so if you two want to follow me I can get us through this. I'll even keep it simple.

[A slow imitation of a fan dance should do it. Jirou smiles at them and pats their heads then lalala he's off to ask about music. It takes a little bit before something that sounds like a space version of old fashioned Japanese music can be heard.

Jirou comes back to them beaming.]


Don't worry. Just follow what I do.

[Surprise, guys, he's a very graceful dancer! But at least he keeps the movements simple and slow to go with the pretty music floating in the air. He can lead this one just fine! Don't worry!]
rygdea: (Ho snap!)

[personal profile] rygdea 2017-08-23 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I would expect you to be a decent dancer if you can walk successfully in heels, Jirou. [While drunk, he should add to that. Fynn doesn't do dancing. Nope. Just not his kind of activity.] Just why do we need to dance again?

Is this an "idol contest" or some mess? If so, I want out!

[Despite all his protesting, Fynn eventually quiets down and watches as Jirou starts doing some weird looking oriental dance...thing.]

Okay, so like this? [HE FEELS QUITE RIDICULOUS RIGHT NOW, THANK YOU. Fynn is not a dancer but he can mimic the moves well enough at least. This just feels stupid.]

This isn't so bad at least.
destiny_key: (lol dis bitch)

[personal profile] destiny_key 2017-08-23 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[Sora puts up a lot less of a fuss than Fynn, and just attempts to copy Jirou as best he can when the guy starts his slow dance. Luckily, he remembers similar dances from back home, and manages to pick it up fairly quickly. Just don't go any faster and he'll be fine.]

It's not that bad, Fynn. Just don't, like, fall over or anything and we'll be okay.

[This goes on for several minutes before the aliens watching the dance deem them done and hand over the cheese. They take it, and scurry out of the hanger before they're made to dance anymore.]

Okay, we've got the cheese. Now what?
sakeplz: (Victory!)

[personal profile] sakeplz 2017-08-23 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
To the mice!

[Jirou leads the way with a giggle then it's to the authorities they go with all the approvals.

And they blink in surprise that they really just did that before one of them goes to the back to get them what they need.]


See? That wasn't so bad!

[They are presented with a key for all their hard work and once they have it they're transported right to the bubble they're supposed to unlock.]

Oh! Well I guess we can just put this in here then!

rygdea: (The story starts here)

[personal profile] rygdea 2017-08-24 02:04 pm (UTC)(link)
As if I would fall! [He quickly snaps at Sora. Fynn might not be too graceful but at least he's able to convince these aliens he can dance. The officer doesn't do dancing even on a good day. It's just not something he was ever good at.] I don't think my manly pride is going to hold out much longer---

[He's mentally lamenting about all this nonsense but at least it's over. It's finally over.]

We're done here, right? That means we get to go home and sleep!

[Fynn is totally looking forward to sleeping.]

...It's a bubble. [He feels the need to state that aloud.] Is there a keyhole someplace? I mean, how do you even unlock a "bubble" to begin with?
destiny_key: (Ugg.)

[personal profile] destiny_key 2017-08-25 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Y'know, somehow I feel like your 'manly pride' is the least of our worries.

[Sora continues dancing until they're done, and honestly by the end, he's tired. Tired of all of this, and he kind of agrees with Fynn that it would be nice to be able to go home and take a nap.

Instead, it looks like they have a bit more work to do. Sora examines the key with the rest of the team, but he's just as lost as the rest of his team.
]

I dunno. Maybe we just... I dunno.
sakeplz: (Wow That's Exciting!)

[personal profile] sakeplz 2017-08-25 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[What would these two do without Jirou?

He wander around the bubble until he finds a lock. In the key goes and ta-da! One of the locks is unlocked with a thank you from Baroque.]


Done!
