Event Coordination: Mission 155

[soul_mods]

At long last, the source of the Madness directly outside Death City’s walls has been discovered: three Madness Emitters surrounding the city, closely guarded by Witch minions and kishin eggs. During three missions spread over the course of three in-game weeks, it’ll take everything Shibusen and its guests have got to put them out of commission and make it safe to travel outside Death City once more!

The first of three Madness Emitters is located in an underground cave system about sixty miles away from the city and is unfortunately only reachable through a long, flooded tunnel. Mission-goers will be transported via mirror to the canyon housing this tunnel entrance, and then it’s time to get their scuba gear on. Hopefully they all can swim!

Once inside, the mission’s objective is to clear the cave of kishin eggs and other hostiles so that Shibusen’s team of experts can safely dismantle the Madness Emitter. The reasons for such care are twofold: to ensure that the site cannot be easily recommissioned and so that the technology may be employed for a future project. It may sound simple enough, but the caves are suffused with very high levels of Madness, and there’s a host of threats besides kishin eggs to worry about...

The mission at a glance:

► The first of three missions will take place on the IC/OOC dates of March 18th / August 24th. This day change will last an entire week, to allow players the time to finish threads without feeling as if they need to rush!
► It will be classified as a 3-star mission, but there will be a place for both experienced and inexperienced pairs.
► Unpartnered fighters are more than welcome to join the fight! They’ll be given mundane weapons to use in battle, or they may bring their own if they have them. With those, they’ll be able to take down threats that are NEITHER kishin eggs nor Witches, but are strongly encouraged to go travel in groups with a partnered pair or pairs.
► There will be a thread specifically for medics and, as always, they are free to act as runners/back-up if they wish.
► Kishin eggs may be NPCed by the player, or there will be volunteers available to stand-in if requested. See below!

What can my characters expect to face?
Some visuals: 1 2 3 4 5 
In addition to a host of kishin eggs, there will be a variety of wildlife that has been twisted by the high levels of Madness -- think moles, insects, snakes, all those creepy-crawlies. While the kishin eggs will be more suited for pairs to take out, skilled solo fighters will be able to take out the fauna without too much difficulty.
The closer to the source of the Madness, the stronger the monsters will become. Tread carefully, and know your limits (or don't!)
High levels of Madness. While Meisters with the Calming Wavelength will be present, everyone is still at a high risk of hallucinations, paranoia, and possibly friendly fire!
It's a dark, scary, watery, uncharted cave. Watch your step between all that fighting!

Rewards:
2 Meister points / souls (for Meisters and Weapons, respectively)
750D$ per person
Weapons may choose not to eat their souls, but they cannot be traded amongst each other.
Participation must be logged, or a summary provided on the Mission Board only, in order for characters to recieve their rewards. Handwaved participation will not count!

You may use this post for pre-log plotting, putting together temporary pairs, and for volunteering to help NPC kishin eggs. In a related note, if you would like one, please indicate in your post somehow that you’ll be wanting a kishin egg NPC for your thread. This’ll help us get a good idea of the numbers we need!

Thank you, and happy plotting!

The amount of armor a Meister gets out of Barricade depends on resonance, so he'll just start out as a claw for Qilby! (too bad he doesn't know how to turn into it yet, that might be problem :V) Technically he could replace Qilby's arm in the future... but only for combat. Comb your own dang beard.

I'm thinking Demona would refer them either way, but I can give Juu a poke about it if you'd like?

(no worries, moving's a big deal! I'm cool with backtagging like the wind if you are, considering their first thread is nearing the one month and still going mark...)

[dissenter]

you wouldn't even do it the way he likes. what do dumb robots know about the noble art of beardery, anyway?!

but yeah, that works! both re: the weapon thing and also asking juu. :) actually, he ended up using his claw-like magic nonsense replacement arm as a weapon more than he used his scythe in what was shown in-canon, so that kind of works...

(and okay, haha! man, i always appreciate it when people can backtag. i'd completely lose it otherwise. ;;)

[pmsgargoyle]

Juu here~

first, your beard is stupid qilby gosh

Demona would refer them to one another, yes! This way she won't be the only one there.

I can make a post? Or idk, she can arrange the meeting for both. or we can handwave I NEVER KNOW WHAT TO DO.

[adun_toridas]

Beards are totally dumb and robots are superior because they don't have them oh god why

We can handwave or log it out or whatever you guys want to do! I'm cool with anything :)

[dissenter]

WHY ARE MY COMMENTS ALL REPLYIN GTO THE WRONG PERSON

i meant to say to YOU that a little meeting log or something would be fine, unless demona was already going to make a post anyway in which case that also works

[badcop]

i think your beard has gotten into your brain

we'll go with Demona posting if that's what's happening, otherwise we can log it or whatever c:

[pmsgargoyle]

I will make a post c:

[pmsgargoyle]

here we go
http://soul-campaign.dreamwidth.org/165893.html

let me know if there is anything you'd like me to change c:

[badcop]

Looks good! Only thing is Barricade isn't entirely certain what his weapon form is just yet, but he knows he is one at least ;)

[pmsgargoyle]

ohh demona doesn't care. that's qilby's problem 8D and barricade's.

[badcop]

this is basically why they're all going to best friends forever

[pmsgargoyle]

http://soul-campaign.dreamwidth.org/165893.html here we go doc :3

let me know if there is anything you want me to change c:

[dissenter]

if you were going to make the post anyway, then that works! otherwise, maybe something separate instead. :Ia

you know, most people introduce their friends to their other buddies, or their boyfrand, or their parents or something

not twelve foot tall killer robutts

[pmsgargoyle]

i can post! i need to make a demona post anyway~

oh qilby, but you are neither buddy or boyfrand or parent
so just take the robutt will you

[dissenter]

also that's a classic case of beard envy if i ever saw one, missy

you're only saying that because YOU can't have it

[pmsgargoyle]

wow

ok

beard envy



sure.

[dissenter]

look how much happier YOU could be with great facial hair

[pmsgargoyle]

oh god what even


i can't breathe

[pmsgargoyle]

aka that is bad and you should feel bad

[dissenter]

if she needs help he'll do his best but he's not a MIRACLE WORKER, okay

so don't be disappointed if it doesn't come out quite as good as his beard, there's always going to be someone better than you

unless you're him

[badcop]

not really what i expected to see while scrolling down
