Field Trip!

[daddyscythe]

As Spirit has posted, there will be a field trip on Feb 27 in-game (that is about June 15, 2012). It will be located somewhere in the desert, in patches of Madness that Shibusen has identified.

This post will be to clarify on some points that you guys may be interested in for plot or development purposes.

Spirit actually understates the preparation for this, since in the location themselves there will be plenty of markers and canvas roofing and all those things for identifying which parts of the place to go to for particular training requirements. But! Regardless of the amount of Madness you need for plot/practice, the place will have it and it will be available to you. The area will be cordoned off for the trip, but your character is also free to wander around outside to accidentally hit patches of any sort of Madness you like.

Shibusen will be providing technicians with Calming Wavelength to help settle down people who have had their dose of Madness and can't handle it, or anyone who looks like they are not doing very well with it. There are also people among the guests who have that same ability, so they can also act in this capacity.

Like Spirit said, resonance is a good way to ward off Madness, although there are some instances when the Madness of one can drag down his partner. Some of the characters/partners become dangerous and violent under Madness and may attack others. That is fine, but please coordinate who will ultimately fight them or calm them down later on. Feel free to approach me or any attending NPCs for this, too.

If you have further questions, please comment here. With that said, you can use the rest of this post to coordinate CR between yourselves!

Questions!

[pathofstrength]

ooh i've got one SUPER LATE but i've got one.

how clear to the illiterate eye are the non-written posted indicators on different areas?

[topgun_textiles]

A field tr-triiiiip...

Tossing in Kanji! He's a Meister with quite a few bugs to work out when it comes to resonance, so he's only had substantial practice with a very small handful of people. This can lead to glorious disaster, should you happen to be looking for some!

If not, hey, regular resonance practice is fine. Hit me up if you're interested, old CR or brand new~

Edit: Derp, a madness note- Kanji'll get a little more aggressive and possibly duke it out with a couple of people if needed. THE HELL'RE YOU STARIN' AT, HUH!?

[attentionwenches]

Did someone say more aggressive than usual? If Kanji and Loki meet while they're hit with madness, they're going to fight -- madness!Loki is out to prove he's strong through fighting, and Kanji looks like the kind of musclehead Loki is used to taking shit from.

So yes, very interested in duking it out :D

[pure_lineage]

Sephiroth will so be all over this in his anti-social way >_> He's been toying with the idea of doing this for the last couple of in-game weeks, so it works out perfectly!

Cloud will undoubtedly be there for the few times he almost slips into madness, but is anyone interested in having some CR with him while he's out there trying to strengthen himself against it?

[itaidakimasu]

Definitely tossing Yako his way!

[thrusts]

Tossing Cross Marian! He's actually partnered up, but he's more or less going for "research" on the waves themselves. Though if anyone wanted to briefly pair up with him I'm all for it!

[itaidakimasu]

Definitely tossing Yako at this! She needs to work up some sort of tolerance to the Madness Wavelength, or she'll just keep clinging to her Meister(s) like a limpet any time she's outside of Death City...

[topgun_textiles]

He can lend a hand.

[pishirogane]

Naoto will come along. She has a feeling she hasn't completely dealt with her own Madness.

As for Amaterasu... well, is it okay for her to come along and provide more direct Calming Wavelength comfort to those who need it?

[raisedbydogs]

Hummm, so maybe I'll use amaterasu comming for an excuse for Inukashi to tag along =D

[spandexisyouth]

Signing up Gai and Kakashi for this! Kakashi will be snapping and Gai will be working him back down from the madness with resonance, but they're available for other interaction suggestions too!

[timelessummoner]

Hmm... I think I will be tossing Raidou in this. He's been pretty good at handling Madness recently, but this might be a good way to keep dealing with his issues.

He'll probably manage to stay sane enough to help others, so he's there if anyone wants him.

[shiromadoushi]

Bakura will be going! And... not doing especially well on his own. He'll likely wind up clinging to someone to try and deal with it because he's co-dependent that way, despite claims to the contrary.

[want_the_world]

Would he like to cling to Mello and/or Near? >D

[paradiseruined]

Signing Lord Darcia for this, since I'm a horrible mun who tortures her muses for kicks. He sucks at resisting the Madness Wavelength, so maybe there could be someone around to restrain him in some way if/when he totally loses it?

[pishirogane]

Amaterasu will most likely be around...

[raisedbydogs]

signing in Inukashi and Kei on this. Inukashi because last time he went completely crazed with it and even him can see that it might be a good idea to train himself on it. Kei because he is always into things which might give him advantage in the battlefield.

Inukashi is quite sensitive to the waves, Kei not so much. xD

Spirit and Itou

[pawned]

I am putting Spirit over there for any needs you have! And should remember to ask the Hikan boss if Itou can go.

[want_the_world]

Mello and Near are all over this, and neither of them are going to deal too well with the madness, so if you want shenanigans with them, hit us up!

[unfinishedstory]

Clare realizes she needs to work on resisting madness. But she is not the best at it, in fact... she's pretty terrible.

So she will probably do something she will regret later, good times. So if anyone wants Clare to hit on them shamelessly, this is the time.

[pmsgargoyle]

Laaate. But signing up Demona!

Who obviously won't be dealing with Madness well 8D
Anyone wants to do anything with a pissed off Gargoyle?

[anastasie]

I probably sound like a stalker, but I took a peek at Demona's app and I think these two might get along (so to speak) since they both seem to have the whole "KILL ALL HUMANS" thing going for them! Don't let Anastasia's human appearance fool you. She gave up her humanity ages ago.

[anpan_tan]

Is it too late to sign up with a Yamazaki?

[anastasie]

This sounds like a thing that Anastasia should probably do, so count her in if it's not already too late!

[ninjainviolet]

Sheena's going, and this will be her first time.

WARNING: Things will not go well for her and she'll try to harm herself and probably anyone who tries to stop her.

Since she's unpartnered, she's going to need someone strong enough to stop her from doing so. Current CR or new CR are welcome. :D

[atailoftwoworlds]

Zidane can try and stop her? He's got a pretty strong will so he will probably be stable enough to try and calm her down.

[atailoftwoworlds]

Not too late to sign up Zidane is it?

[conjecture_this]

Tossing Nagi into this. She doesn't have a partner as of yet but she's all about trying to challenge herself/be a better Summoner and all that.

Likewise I like to think she'll handle the Madness with relative grace. She was exposed somewhat to it during the last round of events as well.

[halfcow]

I'd like to sign up Ryoki, but I know for a fact he'd never manage the madness. He will go, however, exactly because he wants to feel the madness (y e p).

If anyone wants to plot with the crazy bull or even control him, let me know! <3

[donttelldaddy]

:|

[trageteas]

Jules'll be there reluctantly because it's better to learn now than go through it again in another attack. And he'll probably be pretty gloomy afterwards.

...any volunteers for babysitting Gilbert assuming he's back in Death City? :|

late late laaaate

[attentionwenches]

Loki has never felt Madness before, and I want it to give him a heady power boost. He's going to be very scrappy indeed -- turns out he does want to prove he's strong.

Anyone want to fight him/get him back under control?

/LATE

[kuramaless]

Throwing Naruto in on this, hope that's okay.

Uhm. I think he might just be able to control himself pretty well actually. You know, what with not-- having any hate in him now. /NINJAJESUS.

[comradery]

Just realized that I forgot to mention that Hughes will be going to this because he's curious. Yep.
