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 already miss you.

Here.
During that week apart...I was working on my guitar skills.
I recorded this to help me review my playing.
It's not high quality or edited, but...
[He sends an audio file, which is him singing a cover of this song. True to his word, it's not the best audio. It sounds like a live recording done on his phone, even with him naming the song before he plays it - it's not the only song he recorded for his own reference. Still the guitar playing is decent (not as good as his violin or piano, but still decent) and it's unsurprising Elliot's got the singing part down from how much he loves that movie.]
I know, it's cheesy and cliche.
Just please don't show this to anyone else okay?
PRIVATE
it’s beautiful. it’s not his violin, or the piano, but to eren’s ears it’s still a song that pulls at his heart and makes him smile goofy. he did this the week after it happened. the lyrics . . . fit. it’s not even corny, or cliche. elliot’s voice is what curls around his chest and squeezes him tight. elliot has a talent that he’s more than happy to see being used rather than hidden. ]
i can’t show it to anyone if i want to hog it
and it doesn’t need to be hq to know it’s beautiful. guitar isn’t even your main and you killed it
my throat’s a little tight
[ DONT CRY EREN ]
PRIVATE
I might cry too if you cry. [crying is contagious even when you're hours apart!!!]
Thanks though...
I was hoping to get a little better at it before I told you.
Maybe surprise you with a song on Valentine's Day before I took you somewhere romantic.
But I guess we just have to make do, you know?
PRIVATE
you don’t know what it’s like to hear you sing
i really miss you
[ aaAAAAAUAHAGGH ELLIOT HE’S MUSH ]
you’re saying i’m just going to let us miss our first valentine’s day?
PRIVATE
I could send you more files?
[Assuming the bandwidth here is any good....]
Well, idk how long we'll be on these missions.
I mean, I guess could always have a late v-day date when we get back?
PRIVATE
i’ll send you more things too
[ like selfies, or group pictures with dave or yusuke ]
that’s not going to stop me from trying to help finish before that
but we’ll have something whether then or a little after
already letting you know: i’m the one cooking this time
PRIVATE
[Might take a moment though, so he'll keep writing.]
Awwww really?
Well, okay! I'll leave the cooking to you.
After cooking for so many people out here, I'm gonna be cooked out for awhile anyway.
[Cooking for 30 people is a Lot]
PRIVATE
but you’re not the only one cooking are you?
PRIVATE
And there's a few others helping out with the cooking.
I promise they don't have me working the campstove day and night.
PRIVATE
they better not, you have a lot more than that to offer
but give me a meal and i’ll keep it in mind
you’re not allowed in my kitchen when we’re back
PRIVATE
I'm staying clear of him now.
Hmm, alright. That sounds fair enough.
I want Chicken Parmesan with a side of garlic bread.
PRIVATE
i trust you. and the people around you.
did you make it clear for him to back off too?
PRIVATE
I'm pretty sure I did.
PRIVATE
well now you can’t just not tell me
PRIVATE
I knocked him out with a sleep spell.
PRIVATE
did someone record it?????
PRIVATE
You're really overselling it. Mako tackled him first anyway.
PRIVATE
he got what was coming whatever it was that he did
PRIVATE
I'd rather not make a habit of it.
Or dwell on it.
