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. ]

maybe you didn't believe hard enough

in the bullshit



honestly though, i have no idea, because i apparently qualified for this and i'm the least adventurous person i know

[alienates]

Ok
So this is my running theory:


They pulled names out of a hat.

[loudmouths]

yknow

that's probably the most accurate theory i've heard so far

unless these people are sending subliminal messages out to make us think we're qualified

i couldn't tell you why i agreed to this shit it's pretty objectively terrible

[alienates]

Because at the time you're probably thinking, "oh shit, I can finally get answers!"
And it isn't until later when you realize what exactly you have to go through in order to obtain those answers.

[loudmouths]

...yeeeah

something like that i guess!!

[alienates]

Look
A neat little adventure with your fellow Retrospec users sounds good on paper, and then you blink and you're freezing your nuts off in the Arctic.

[loudmouths]

yeah i'm realizing that now that it perhaps wasn't the wisest impulse decision i've ever made...

here's hoping i get to come home to tell the tale or whatever

if not i guess this is documentation enough right

[alienates]

When there is eventually a film made documenting your hardships.
Which actor would you want to play your part?

[loudmouths]

tadanobu asano.

[ zero hesitation. ]

[alienates]

[ he googles him really quick. ]

He seems a little old to be you but
You know what?
Fair.

[loudmouths]

age isn't the point! he's distinguished and handsome and classy!!

if we're making a gritty retelling, he'd be perfect!!!

[alienates]

If you want to pretend to be classy then yeah, sure.
He's the perfect choice.

[loudmouths]

I don't need to pretend

though im glad you're not arguing me on the handsome part ✨

[alienates]

The picture is small
It's hard to judge.

[loudmouths]

id be more than happy to supply you with evidence to that end then!!!!

[alienates]

FINE
Just don't go crying when you get an answer you don't like!!

[loudmouths]

I doubt that'll happen, but challenge accepted!!

[ so karkat gets a lovely pic of keigo within a few moments. pretend he's actually yknow. dressed for the occasion. ]

tada!! ✨

[alienates]

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Acceptable

[loudmouths]

HAH SEE I KNEW IT

[alienates]

NO
That's not admitting you're cute fuck off

[loudmouths]

cute, huh

I don't recall that being one of the options

[alienates]

I DIDN'T SAY THAT EITHER

[loudmouths]

hmmm

you're gettin pretty fired up over this... kinda suspicious...

[alienates]

You're just imagining it
Anyway you probably just don't remember bringing up cute first.

[loudmouths]

not to be pedantic but uh

you realize I can just scroll up and reread the conversation

I mean I can pretty much get hard evidence right here right now

you sure you wanna be makin that kinda claim?
