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. ]

[compendiem]

Yeah. Send me a picture with all your friends.

[akatatai]

Okay!
There are only four of us right now, but look how happy and not dead we are

[Look, Minato! He's not only out on boat docks, but he's making sure to actually smile and look decently cheerful in the photo! And he's pulled in the other three, who are varying levels of enthused (the last guy looks like he doesn't want to be there at all).]

[compendiem]

[ The last guy is the one Minato identifies with the most ]

I know two of those other three. But you do look sort of happy and not dead yet.

[akatatai]

Really? Which ones?
Mao is my best friend, so he can vouch for me five times over!
(I can stand up for myself too, but just in case)

We're at a seaside town! And talking to fishermen

[compendiem]

Uh. The ones that aren't Mao, then.
Bring back fresh fish and I'll believe you.

[akatatai]

Mrs. Brisby seems really nice, even if her son isn't
And Ritsu might be kind of creepy, but I think he's an okay guy

Catching the fish isn't our job, though...

[compendiem]

I don't know much about Mrs. Brisby aside from the fact she lost one of her sons once. Is that the same son? I like Ritsu, though. He's a great guy.

It's a side quest. Requested by me. What's your main one?

[akatatai]

...That sounds like him, yeah
Ritsu kept talking about poisoning me last month?! But he just seems tired irl

Other people are on the fish catching sidequest! Except it's more like part of the main quest
You know those games where you have to go trade stuff between a bunch of different people to get what you want?
The guy at one place wants fish, and then he'll trade the fish for something else some other guy wants I think, it's complicated...

But my team is talking to the boaters and trying to get information out of them

[compendiem]

ww I thought we got along.

Trading quests are the worst. I'll spare your life, and the lives of all you care about, if you bring back fish. Is that a fair trade? Time limit is until the end of the month, or whenever you get back. That should be enough time.

[akatatai]

Fetch quests are way way way more tiring in person
I'm not used to talking to people this much
My introvert battery is already drained

Why do you want fish so badly?
If I ask anyone to help they'll definitely think you're joking
And I do too
But there's also a 1% chance you're being serious and that scares me

[compendiem]

I get that. Typing is a lot easier, do it'd probably be easier to just make a list and pass it around the people there. Things they can offer, things they want in return, match them up and have then work it out themselves.

I'm hungry.

[akatatai]

We actually did make a list!
It's not to show other people though, just for us to remember what we need
And we're all split up working on separate things

Okay but
Bringing you fish whenever we get back isn't going to help you feel less hungry right now

[compendiem]

Maybe you should show other people so you can hurry up and get that fish and come home. I'll just starve until you return. Something to look forward to instead of giving up right here.
