Event - Trouble in Central America!, New Missions, and Deathscythe SOS

Salutations, Soul Campaign! Here's your monthly modpost with what we've got cooked up!


Game-wide Mission!

A while back, a few of the Guest Agents signed up to investigate some strange things that were happening in Central America. They came back with some fragments of metal that, after thorough testing, were found to have traces of Black Blood! Coupled with an intact container that investigators found and brought in for examination, it has been concluded that the fragments came from a container that held a Black Blood compound to poison the water supplies and, in turn, crops and wildlife. The Witches are on the move again.

Those who had been in Death City when the water supply was tainted with Black Blood probably haven't forgotten the chaos it caused and those who hadn't experienced that will get the chance to see it soon enough. Hopefully you've all been training in resisting Madness!

Shibusen has received distress calls from San José in Costa Rica and Tegucigalpa in Honduras, with requests to help evacuate the people of those cities. Madness levels have gone through the roofs and is showing no signs of dying down, rendering the cities uninhabitable. To add to the problem (because we all know when it rains, it pours) the high amounts of Madness have driven many citizens to insanity in both areas; those who consumed the souls of their victims have become Kishin Eggs and are hunting for their next meal...

The mission to San José and Tegucigalpa will take place on May 29th in game, which will fall on this coming Friday the 17th, and mission sign-ups are now available on the Mission Board. Completion of the mission will reward 5 Kishin Egg souls and 5 Meister Points to all pairs who participate. There will also be an announcement from Shibusen soon, so keep your eyes out for that!


New Missions, Deathscythe SOS

The Mission Board has a batch of brand new tasks fresh from the... oven...? You'll find them right here! Take a look at them, and feel free to sign up for whatever adventure tickles your fancy!

Also, a new little feature has been added to the Mission System! Typically, when a pair signs up for a mission, a 20-sided die is rolled. After Meister and Weapon modifiers, a 15 or higher means the mission is a success. But what if the roll comes close, like a 13 or a 14?

That's where Deathscythe SOS comes in! Cloud and Sephiroth, the very first Guest Three-Star Meister and Deathscythe pair, are always on the hunt for malevolent Witches and Kishin Eggs around the world. On any mission dice roll that comes very close to success, agents are given a 50/50 chance that help happens to be in the area, and are asked if they'd like to call an SOS on their communicators. Should they accept, Cloud and Sephiroth will be alerted and will swoop in to turn the tide of battle, changing a near-miss to an automatic success.

This is optional, of course, if for CR reasons or otherwise you would prefer to take the mission failure.


SO TO SUMMARIZE...!

-Mission to two cities in Central America, awarding 5 Kishin Eggs/5 Meister Points! Sign-up is right here, and an IC announcement will be up soon!
-New Missions!
-Cloud and Sephiroth don't mind helping you whup some demon butt if you're in a little pinch!


Feel free to use this post to ask questions and plot amongst yourselves! Have a good one!

I so want Psii in on this. Would anyone like to partner up with him? He's a pair of flight goggles that give his Meister a limited version of his telekinesis.

Mello is going with Near, naturally, and if anyone wants to join them, that would be great! We're also getting Near hurt, because we're terrible people, so does anyone want to give the boys a hand after that?

Rosalia can help out Mello and Near. Also, she can be a spare Weapon too if Mello needs some extra defense! She doesn't have a partner currently though so... hrmm.

Oooh, I'm definitely up for some emergency resonance if you can get her there!

Okay! We'll see what happens.

Bakura's still good for healing Near after! Just let me know when you want him to find out!

[personal profile] want_the_world 2013-05-14 12:40 am (UTC)(link)
Mello will probably send Bakura a message right after they get to the clinic. That good?
shiromadoushi: (Side smile happy happy)

[personal profile] shiromadoushi 2013-05-14 12:43 am (UTC)(link)
Yep! Sounds like Bakura will actually be staying behind dealing with the riots that's to YB being a stubborn arse, so he'll be there. And get to fill Mello in about the chaos :)

So I heard you losers like giant robots and Fabiola happens to be partners with one...


...also Psii should totally come with Meenah and Ramza so he can kind of baffle at how well Ramza defuses Meenah's Bad Decisions.

Hey, Near's the loser who has a thing for giant robots. ;D

YES, do want, because Near being a fanboy will be awesome.

If I can find a temp partner for Psii, or figure out some other way for him to go on the mission, I'm in!

I'm not sure it's a good idea, also I am sure this is a terrible, cruel and self-destructing idea but would it be OK if Yamazaki escorted the guys?

Do you mean helping them get to the clinic, or going on the mission? Does Zaki have a partner?
anpan_tan: (Default)

[personal profile] anpan_tan 2013-05-15 07:30 am (UTC)(link)
Zaki doesn't have a partner so I guess he can't go to the mission but he would help them get to the clinic, if it's OK to you and Devil.

P.s.: I asked Auron-Mun if he would pair up with Yamazaki for this mission.

Once they get back through the mirror to Death City, helping them to the clinic would be awesome, though I need to make sure they wouldn't just port them right to the clinic.

[personal profile] anpan_tan 2013-05-16 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
Auron and Zaki goes to the mission, so they can join you two, and I don't think Yamazaki would have time for feelings between two panic attacks.

I probably should have edited my original comment, but didn't think of it in time, but if they're with another pair, it would be hard to get Near seriously hurt, so we really just need rescuers, and I think Fabi and Bumblebee have that covered.

Zaki can always visit at the clinic for awkward fun times!

I see. They'll meet at the hospital then, I guess.
