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

[crudest]

[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. ]

I would appreciate it if anyone would be willing to send pictures and summaries of their activities in this group. I would of course give the same about the city...

[cattack]

[attached image!]

We're several hours north of the city.
The locals here hide at night from what sounds to be wolves.
But having fought some of the monsters, they are most certainly not wolves.
They seem to be attacking any source of light they find, and make things cold.

[evidentiary]

So far in the city we've been requested to make roads and the like to your locations...

And also, the Mayor and many high-ranking officials are currently missing.

[cattack]

Make roads?

Have you seen if anyone else remembers them?
If they're simply missing and the rest of the city still knows who they are, it's likely mundane, and will need to be dealt with as urgently as possible.
If they've been forgotten and those not on Retrospec think this is normal, then it's Retrospec-related and likely up to us.

[evidentiary]

You're incorrect about the assessment, but you don't have all the facts.

It's the first option, but it's up to us.

[stopbleeding]

is this what you meant by information?

[evidentiary]

The lists of group members? Yes, those help a lot.

[stopbleeding]

no. pictures.

[evidentiary]

I think pictures are useful in a supplementary sense and perhaps easier than explanations for those who aren't used to giving them.

However, Arisato's pictures need more context.

[ GESTURES TO NEXT RESPONSE DOWN FOR HER ]

[compendiem]

Trade you for two pieces of info.

[ The first picture is Minato getting eaten by Souji's dragon, Kohryu. The second is a picture of Minato about to get his neck sliced by Souji's mummy Persona, Attis. ]

[evidentiary]

[ ........................ ]

I need more context.

[compendiem]

How much info for context?

[evidentiary]

How useful is the context?

I'd be more than willing to keep you updated, Kirigiri!

We're in a harbor town about 3 hours south of Recolle. It's called Pesgare and it seems that a lot of people from various parts of the world come here to trade. Multiple languages are being used, some I didn't recognize. Guess that means I need to study more...

But the town is friendly! They offer bread for free and a lot of times, people come up just to converse with you.

At the moment, we're attempting to trade a shack owner for gallons of paint.

[evidentiary]

What are you planning to use the paint for?

[steadycourse]

The innkeepers need a new coat of paint! We stayed in their inn for the night and didn't have the correct currency to pay them, but they were willing to barter with us.

[evidentiary]

In that case, best of luck. Do you need anything in the city checked in on?

[sketchythief]

kyouko... it feels like im in a volcano! everywhere is hot! you know when its really hot the road looks like its swaying back and forth? thats how it feels like!! but this zee person was nice enough to give everyone water, ice cream, and other stuff and the entire group ate it all up

but uh... i had to go look for pieces to help rebuild a forge! i teamed up with 3 other people and we went further down which was even hotter. we had to retreat to get something like fire suits and gloves Q_Q

oh! we also found a baby dragon that spits out fireballs! everyone is okay though

and the area im in is called respartum

you know when the weather is really hot, everybody gets cranky? everyone regretted wearing winter clothes

...... i think the camera in my phone broke though so i dont have pictures :( sorry

[evidentiary]

Please take care. What is the purpose of rebuilding the forge? Relations with people there, or for the forging of something?

[sketchythief]

they needed to rebuild the forge so that it can power the smithy? i think... if it doesnt work, they cant work

and all i see them do is work until night time. or at least... i think its nighttime?? when i look at them all i can think of "work hard play hard"

i think relations would be good with them if we helped out, thats what my group said! there were some rumors going around though, that they could make a super strong weapon with it

it just feels more like a video game...

[evidentiary]

Just be certain to take care. If it's a super strong weapon, perhaps someone needs it in one of the other groups? Or in yours.

[falsepretentious]

[Byakuya emails her a report detailing his group's experiences, particularly what he personally experienced within the forest, as well as general information about the area. Pictures are included, of course, with copies of the ones that Penelope took.]

Done.

How are things on the homestead?

[evidentiary]

Thank you, Byakuya.

The mayor and his compatriots are currently missing.

[falsepretentious]

You're quite welcome.

Missing? Have they disappeared just like those random pieces of the city did, or is this something else.

[evidentiary]

They may have been kidnapped? We were informed that if we wish to get them back we may wish to look for them.
