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. ]

Should I stock something stronger than Chamomile here for your return home, I wonder? Really. How did you get roped into going, Howard?
ohrlyeh: (celephais)

[personal profile] ohrlyeh 2018-02-05 04:48 am (UTC)(link)
yes please i'm actually thinking whiskey or bourbon or something strong

i went because they said i would get a reward

i got a reward, alright

it was suffering. the reward was suffering

[personal profile] livingimpaired 2018-02-05 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
I'll get you a nice bourbon.

Greed won over Sloth, hm?
That is unsurprising.
Still, don't worry.
For all your suffering, you have things waiting for you back home.
So, since you have not received a reasonable reward from these people, I'll provide one.
It's the least I can do.

[personal profile] ohrlyeh 2018-02-05 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
you talk as if i'm nothing but some emissary of the seven sins

but thanks

i'll need a chance to just forget everything that happened and i can probably drown that out with that bourbon

i'm usually not a drinker but sometimes its necessary for drastic circumstances

[personal profile] livingimpaired 2018-02-06 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sorry.
I believed a joke would improve your mood.


[ His jokes are terrible. ]

You know, Howard, sometimes people are just nice.
Humans are filled with many things and while they could become horrific monsters that rend the flesh off everyone that is with you, they could also just be small-town people with small-town minds that think only of being kind to outsiders. Let's hope for the latter since I'd rather not imagine you being hurt.

[personal profile] ohrlyeh 2018-02-06 01:52 am (UTC)(link)
if they are just small town people they need o learn that trusting anyone who just wanders into their town is a terrible idea

if i were in their shoes i would just never let anyone in

anyways im with others so i think ill be okay in the case of a future possible attack

[personal profile] livingimpaired 2018-02-06 02:23 am (UTC)(link)
I don't think you would let anyone in even if you were not in their shoes.
My apologies.
I shouldn't just type everything that I am thinking simply with the hope that it will ease your thoughts.
But that is how it is with smaller places.
There isn't a sense of distrust because no one's made them distrust others yet.
So I believe.

But all the same, I'm glad that you have others with you in case it becomes violent.
I'm certain that you will be fine because of them.
You're the kind of person people can't leave alone, after all.
And this time, it'll be in your favor.

[personal profile] ohrlyeh 2018-02-06 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
well...i mean, it is true

thats weird though that there has been barely anyone to that place. why have we never heard of it? i've been in recolle for years and i never heard of a fishing village

kei, why do you think people can't leave me alone? what about me is so, i dont know, bothersome?

livingimpaired: (Default)

[personal profile] livingimpaired 2018-02-06 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
Howard, there was a dome over the city.
I believe I can forgive a fishing village for existing without ever knowing about it.

And as for you question, I would not call you "bothersome."
If I could put it into words, it is that you have "potential."
You lack malice and ill intent.
Mostly because I think both would be too bothersome for you. :)
But you also have the ability to be convinced to do good.
Your potential is something of a mystery and so people who are meddlers tend to wish to see it be the shiniest it can be.
Because of your slothful nature, you lack the barbed words and mannerisms that would deter others from drawing close to you.
I would say the reason why people don't leave you alone is because you are a non-threatening individual that ultimately will do the right thing because you can eb bullied into it.
In short, your "potential" outweighs your "sloth."
Does that make sense?
ohrlyeh: (celephais)

[personal profile] ohrlyeh 2018-02-06 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
thats like saying a village can just appear overnight which only makes it MORE suspicious in my opinion

i guess? so people bother me because i'm too lazy to tell them to go away

i just let them do what they want

if i was mean, actively so, they would leave me alone
livingimpaired: (Default)

[personal profile] livingimpaired 2018-02-06 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose. :)

That's correct.
But they already know who you are.
If you suddenly became actively mean, they'd wonder why that is and attempt to help you.
Your exhaustion would win out and once more return to drawing people to you.
As tiring as it is, I can say most that come to you have good intentions.
Their intentions are to help you because they view you as a good person.
Hardly a negative.

and what if i wasn't a good person

what if they were all wrong and were seeing something which never was there to begin with

It is there, Howard.
You can only ever call out to someone if something inside you is true.
No one is ever fooled long by a lie or a mirage.
The relationships that you have -- they feel real to you, don't they?
The truth in how they feel and how you feel -- it is something that cannot be dismissed.
ohrlyeh: (cool air)

[personal profile] ohrlyeh 2018-02-06 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
you say that but like there are serial killers who fooled everyone into believing they were regular people

i dont know what feels real or not

i just like them but i dont know if its because i just an afraid of being hated
livingimpaired: (Default)

[personal profile] livingimpaired 2018-02-06 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
I certainly don't mean anything so dire.
But what I'm trying to say is that you aren't a person that could fool others.
You simply lack that capability.
You're too honest and I suppose that, too, is what draws people to you.
You like people and are afraid of being hated.
It doesn't have to be a "because" situation.
It can be both.
And there's nothing wrong with that.
Most people don't want to be hated, after all.

i like people only in small amounts

and i was about to say sonething but this isnt the time for that. i'll tell you when i get back, maybe

anyways i know that there is a lot more to me thn meets the eye, kei. people are blind to it. in a way, i was blind to it too

[ KILL BILL SIRENS. ]

We'll talk more when you return.
I feel like this is just stressing you out more.
But so long as you like people, even in small amounts, that's worth celebrating.
It means that you still want to connect to others.
You're doing better than you think you are.
ohrlyeh: (celephais)

[personal profile] ohrlyeh 2018-02-06 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
yeah maybe you are right

anyways thanks for helping out kei, you're a good friend

we'll talk more when i get back. get me some good alcohol as a favor okay?

[personal profile] livingimpaired 2018-02-06 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you.
At the risk of sounding disingenuous, you're a good friend, too.

I'll look forward to our chat, and ensure that the alcohol is good and not something too foul-tasting.
ohrlyeh: (dreams in the witch-house)

[personal profile] ohrlyeh 2018-02-07 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
i trust your taste in alcohol so i think it will be okay

and thanks for thinking of me as a good friend. it means a lot
livingimpaired: (Default)

[personal profile] livingimpaired 2018-02-07 05:43 pm (UTC)(link)
One hopes.

Of course. I am certain I am not the first or last person to think of you as such. Even with your laziness, you always make an effort for us. So... thank you for considering us worth it.

[personal profile] ohrlyeh 2018-02-07 06:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[.....]

humanity has its good qualities i guess

i can't exactly pass on that

but that's nothing to thank me over, really. doesn't everyone feel like they at least have to put in a little effort in some places?
livingimpaired: (Default)

[personal profile] livingimpaired 2018-02-08 01:18 am (UTC)(link)
I'm glad I could convince you as such.

I suppose that you're right. But what we decide to put our effort into says a lot about who we are.
ohrlyeh: (polaris)

[personal profile] ohrlyeh 2018-02-08 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
what do you put your effort into, kei?
