retrospec | 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. ]

We can ask for supplies and I might try to use my car, but a Prius wasn't made to offroad.

But then, neither are buses, usually

Please stay safe. I've heard there's monsters outside the city.

You can't be there to protect me, after all

I can't. I'll return to the city if I can to resupply, but I can't keep you safe.

[ Honestly, it's odd. Because she said that to try to tease cleo, but maybe it's that Zack is gone too, that Elliot is, Eren is. A lot of them are but she ends up feeling that that doubt again. It makes her pause a moment before she responds, ]

Oh, and you'll miss Valentines too, maybe. You were going to be one of the people I might've asked out!

[sorry, natalia. she's immune to teasing when she's this worried.]

"Maybe" and "might have"? You'll have to be a bit more determined than that.

Do you have other plans?

Well, I'll have to make a resupply run anyway. So I'll have to return to the city eventually.

[ . . . Mmm. Cleo's being assertive, how can she break this...? Ah, she knows ]

One of those supplies you need is my lips?

[yeah

yeah, that did it]

That is not what I had in mind

More than that shouldn't be in public like this, Cleo! 😲

I MEANT FOOD AND WEAPONRY

[ She really, seriously considers for a moment making some joke out of her being the "food" that Cleo wants to eat but even that might be a little much where children and Elliot can see. Don't want her to be the next gossip the same way Zack was. and as such, ]

I know! ♥

It's okay if I'm third in your heart after those... ah, no, fourth, Justice?

Edited 2018-02-05 20:55 (UTC)

One day your teasing will stop being this effective, you realize.

[It's the closest Cleo "Tits Out For Justice" Ritter can come to swearing revenge.]

That day's not today! I got your heart racing, right?

Surprise will do that.

So surprise is all I am to you . . . Maybe I shouldn't ask you to be my valentine then . . .

I was only a 'maybe' anyway, wasn't I?

[ Mmhm, one of maybe three or so she considered. Honestly, none of them were that serious, more to have fun with someone on the day of. But then, there's no need to share that so what she types instead is, ]

I didn't know if you'd say yes.

[ Which is also true. Cleo's spelled out before now she's in love with someone else still ]

[wait

is she reading this right

????

she's extremely confused right now and wondering how serious natalia is.]

Sometimes you have to take risks. [Oh, god, she's going to feel like such a heel if it turns out Natalia was serious, what should she do, why isn't there a guide for this sort of thing.]

[ Mmm ]

Tell you what, I can be a proper princess and I'll give you a kerchief (I'll have to go buy one!) or shawl when you're in town for the next resupply, but don't you go out of your way to meet me for Valentines. You complete this test or whatever it is and then we can talk about what comes next.

[INTERNAL SCREAMING INTENSIFIES.

minako can probably hear this internal screaming from their pendant shit.]

Right. I'll let you know when I'm coming back.

Be safe out there and win my victory, my loyal knight. ♥

[she's going to remember this is public and fucking die in a few minutes.]

Have no fear, o princess. I'm stronger than all the monsters out here.

[ She laughs on her end, stretching a little. Honestly, she is still worried, but between this and hearing Ellie's doing okay? She's feeling a fair bit better. ]

And I in turn promise to be safe back at home!
