OTA TEXT | SO WHERE Y'ALL AT????

[sometime on the third, all the names of people who were sent on group missions (obviously au names only) will be released onto the network for IC knowledge. everyone will be able to see this post if they glance at the network, whether they're in the city or away on groups!

however annotated next to the groups will be the information that group one is going to pesgare, group two is going to respartum, group three is going to bosuma, and group four is going to magatus.]


if you didn't get a call to arms here's the copypasta:

How would you like to help us help you out? Your observation period's up and I want you on this particular assignment. You'll be fine, you're probably not going to die, and we'll be able to monitor you from here. We need help. You've got the skills needed even if you don't know it yet. I know it and that's what counts.

You'll be working with a group (wish I could give you the names, still putting the lists together), but your assignment partner is [INSERT RANDO HERE]. Should you choose to accept this assignment, you will need to meet at the [LOCATION] and we'll go from there.

You'll be rewarded for your success, of course, but this is only if we have an agreement. Do we have an agreement?

hard to do work when you don't have info right
carly's more useful than expected
but he said don't get distracted

anyway
the more you know and all that


[and that's the message!]

[ OOC: please use this as an open mingle for whatever purposes you need! unless directly addressed, baren won't be responding. he just bugged carly for info and shared it. if any adjustments need to be made, lmk!

edit: almost immediately after the initial post goes up, Matt Murdock's name will be edited out into black squares. ]

don't let them fool you into thinking passing that assessment is a good thing
all it means is retrospec now wants us to do their dirty work for them AGAIN

[personal profile] nachetanya 2018-02-04 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Those people accepted the offer, though, right? Including you.

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2018-02-04 11:36 pm (UTC)(link)
only because i thought i'd get face to face with a retrospec employee
nachetanya: (358/2 Days)

[personal profile] nachetanya 2018-02-05 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
I take it you didn't?
frostythehitman: (controlling)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2018-02-05 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
no
but we're holding zee's phone hostage now so we're gonna HAVE to meet face to face
if he ever wants it back
nachetanya: (and the Wayfarer's Lamentation)

[personal profile] nachetanya 2018-02-05 06:50 am (UTC)(link)
Here in the city he claims he has office hours. I could go try to meet him for you?
frostythehitman: (these wounds they will not heal)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2018-02-05 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
yeah that's what he said
but it just sounds like another case of retrospec promising us crap so we'll do something for them
and then bailing on their promise as soon as they've got whatever they want out of us

but nah
go see if you can catch his office hours earlier if you want
but i need to talk to him face to face irl myself

That does seem to be why he's here, yeah.

How did you get his phone?
frostythehitman: (confusing (consuming what is real))

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2018-02-06 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
i said the only way he'd get me to do anything is if he gave me the phone as collateral
and i threatened to sabotage the whole mission if i didn't get it soon
nachetanya: (Civil War)

[personal profile] nachetanya 2018-02-06 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
Oh *wow* that's cool! I'm surprised he didn't kick you out!
frostythehitman: (there's something inside me)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2018-02-06 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
me too
i didn't expect that to actually WORK
but i guess they're really desperate
nachetanya: (A shitstorm coming)

[personal profile] nachetanya 2018-02-06 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
Or considered you to be truly valuable.
frostythehitman: (fear is how i fall)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2018-02-06 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
yeah right
if they thought i was valuable they wouldn't have chopped my arm off

[ . . . . Ah.

A...hah.

There's no reply to that for a good two or three minutes, shocked to silence despite knowing he young man had a prosthetic, like her. But perhaps she hasn't expected to hear it quite that way, perhaps she's still not entirely over her own loss to confront that so immediately. But it's been ten years, and so after allowing herself a moment to decompress, she nods to herself and comes back to it. ]


No, that's true.

[ There are many, many other things she wants to ask - if the boy in his visions has both arms? Because the one in hers does, and it rips her apart every time she sees it. But that would be insensitive, they're hardly that close. ]

Even so, I hope that you can show them what you can do, James. Be that doing their mission better than they could expect, punching him, or getting more out of that ransomed phone.
frostythehitman: (somebody get me through this nightmare)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2018-02-06 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
well i'm definitely doing the last two
and maybe the first if i decide it's worth it
but whatever happens i'm gonna make sure they know they screwed up when they took my arm
just call me karma

[personal profile] nachetanya 2018-02-06 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ Do "they" even control that? She's not sure, based on what people have told her, what she read in that one woman's guide? But hell, that's beside the point. James, at least, has someone he can blame. she would have killed for that, and as such, ]

I believe in you! Call me a karma fangirl officially!
frostythehitman: teen (so many times i've lied)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2018-02-06 08:05 am (UTC)(link)
why thank you
i'll remember you when i hit it big dismantling this stupid organization
it's the fans who got me here etc etc

👏 👏 👏

So which place are you at again? The mole people one? The forest? The ice place? The beach?
frostythehitman: (there's something inside me that pulls)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2018-02-07 07:14 am (UTC)(link)
the forest
what the hell is the mole people one
nachetanya: (Ragnarok)

[personal profile] nachetanya 2018-02-07 07:22 am (UTC)(link)
Hot and underground and they had to walk, apparently.

But oh, that means you're with Elliot!
frostythehitman: (somebody help me tame this animal)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2018-02-08 07:06 am (UTC)(link)
yeah i guess so
i don't really know him but his name sure is on the list for my group
nachetanya: (and the Captive Fool)

[personal profile] nachetanya 2018-02-08 02:43 pm (UTC)(link)
He's my little cousin. Red hair and a pleasant smile. He's really dependable!
frostythehitman: (somebody help me tame this animal)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2018-02-09 06:59 am (UTC)(link)
damn seriously
there's a lot of people with relatives on retrospec now
nachetanya: (Ragnarok)

[personal profile] nachetanya 2018-02-09 03:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Seriously! I know the similarities a little more distant but I've known him my whole life
frostythehitman: (somebody help me tame this animal)

[personal profile] frostythehitman 2018-02-12 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[ You say that, but he has never actually interacted with Elliot before, so all of that is lost on him. ]

when did you realize each other was on the network
