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:
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. ]

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?

... I haven't heard from Zack have you?
no subject
[Unlike Gar who packed AXE BODY SPRAY AND FRUIT ROLL-UPS]
Hmm...I know he was in a group. I even packed him a lunch. But I haven't heard since he left the city.
no subject
[ She's a little okay no a bit of a lot put out ]
no subject
Maybe they're really busy? I dunno, all I really did was send along lunches.

[That reminds him, he'll be changing this to PRIVATE messaging now]
Hey, did you know Olivia was engaged?
PRIVATE
What. when? How?
PRIVATE
I was browsing the comments on the Retrospec entry a few days ago.
And I saw her being REALLY flirty with a new user.
So I messaged the person, and it turns they're fiances.
They've been dating THREE years, but this is the first I've heard it.
PRIVATE
Three years? Natalia's honestly more than a little bit hurt, more than a little bit annoyed and especially annoyed that she had to find out third-hand like this. Elliot, through from someone else without Olivia ever telling her.
... Mmm. ]
No, I hadn't heard anything about it at all.
I hope Zack did, or I'm going to have to slap Olivia even if it breaks my hand on her muscles.
[ Because it's Elliot and because she's already stressed she sort of... slips a bit from how she normally handles stress with sarcasm ]
Golly. Who is it though, do we know anything?
PRIVATE
Though, if he doesn't know, he'll find out soon enough.
All three of them are in the same group from the looks of it.
[He sure hopes the reason they haven't heard anything isn't because they all killed each other
Elliot meanwhile, while he's a little hurt, is taking it more in stride. He grew up far away from the others, he's used to being the last to know. Plus there was another reason.]
I know a little? Their name is Korra Salman.
They met at Zack's physical therapy clinic.
And she's a woman, so that could be part of why she didn't say anything?
I haven't exactly told most of the Craigs and Fairweathers about my relationship either, so...
PRIVATE
Korra Salman.
She'll have to - ]
Ellie tell me it's a bad idea to text Olivia and this Salman woman right now because I know it is when they're out doing important group things.
Dia and Olivia have had a strained relationship though so that makes sense to me - Olivia's mother didn't take her going to the military well and I don't think they were really able to talk since then until just recently? I know I've not seen Dia since then, really. But Zack...
I hope they aren't arguing out there.
I get why that might be more secret, but it's not like any of us would get on her case about it. Not you, Zack, me?
[ In the back of her mind she thinks "especially me" but then, Zack is the one who deserves to know the most, particularly if the woman worked at his therapy clinic. ]
PRIVATE
That's a bad idea! At least wait for them to check in! They might be in the middle of fighting monsters for all we know.
[He sighs to himself before texting more]
Look, I understand you're upset. I was too. But I think we should hear her reasons and try to be understanding. Even though I knew I could trust you and Zack? It was still REALLY scary to tell you guys at first. And she's already been rejected once by family...
I just wanted to tell you before you found out by accident like I did.
But I'm sure she didn't mean to hurt us.
PRIVATE
[ Exhale. Honestly, her mood is just doing jumpropes now, because the persist worry of why neither of hem have checked in, her irritation at being the last to know about both this and about them jumping out into whatever this assessment was for, to having it improved by Elliot and Cleo and others...
Ugh, she might need to actually get a drink. ]
No, you're right though! Understanding and acceptance are important and we'll have to hear her out and her reasoning. I want to get to know this Salman woman though, because I have to say I always had this picture in my head of who Olivia might marry and I want to see how right or wrong I was.
... Besides, I've never done the whole dramatic confession about anything, I should be more sympathetic.
[ She just. Is. ]
PRIVATE
[Yeah, he wouldn't blame Natalia for wanting to get a drink. He does get why people would be upset! He just...is very empathetic and wants to talk to Olivia first. Actually getting to talk to Korra some helped too.]
Right.
She's seems pretty nice! I'd like to get to know her more too. What kind of image did you have in your head?
I'm sure you'll get to do a dramatic confession someday if you really want.
PRIVATE
Elliot, I'm pansexual.
Is that even surprising...?
[ She'll loop back to that other image after the fact, but she's beginning here because it seemed more fun ]
PRIVATE
I'm afraid your old tumblr account spoiled that one for me, sorry.
But maybe someday you'll have a dramatic love confession! Those are the best kind!
PRIVATE
I can think of a few love confessions I could make which wouldn't surprise people either... [ Like her best childhood friend... ]
As for Olivia I think I always figured it would be a woman? I was never sure if it would be a more feminine woman or someone who more matches her in athleticism but I think I've leaned to the later.
PRIVATE
[UP THE DRAMA TO MAKE UP FOR THE LACK OF SURPRISE!!]
Hmmm, that makes sense. Oh, here- I got Korra's userpic:
She looks pretty fit!
PRIVATE
[ What. ]
She's pretty. ... Is it just me or does she look younger than Olivia by a little?
[ I mean, twenties is twenties Olivia's not that old or even that much older, but Korra's got a youthful face. ]
PRIVATE
Hmmm, maybe a little? They were both in college when they met, so I don't think they're THAT different in age.
She is pretty though! [If she was a guy she'd 100% be his type I mean dang those muscles]
PRIVATE
I think I was expecting like... a little lower than shoulder length. The sort who has a ponytail for workouts?
PRIVATE
Aha, that's a really specific image. Maybe her hair was longer when they met?
Re: PRIVATE
PRIVATE
I still think it looks good though!
