If you're new here, then this is a mission post. You can find available missions at rpmanager. You are welcome to subscribe or track the journal, but this is not required, as updates will be posted on this journal. For those of you who don't know about missions, the links below should help you out. I suggest you start with the Mission FAQ first!

The log for the mission will go up tomorrow. There will be a new unique mission announced later on, but not another one for this month, since there will be a draft in a few weeks.

Aaaah, snap, and I'm working an extra shift tomorrow...! Sorry, guys, I'm gonna be slow initially.

So, uh, even though Grune is listed as a caretaker, she's gonna occasionally need someone to corral her so she doesn't wander off or get off-task. Fenimore's already down for that duty, but anyone else want to get in on it?

[fuckthemission]

After talking and getting permission from the mods, Doyle'll be going to the mission straight away from a mallynap, so he'll slowly develop a mallynap effect while he's stuck there. Luckily he'll be more keen to sniping for people, so he won't be around y'all that much except to help from a mysterious distance.

His mallynap effect is basically that a phantom heat surrounds him and being within a certain amount of feet will give ya' the sensation of being very hot. The closer you get, the worse it is, and touching him is like touching a hot stove (just without actual injury). So. Ya'll just work and do your own thing.

But! He'll keep in contact via journals. For info and stuff. And people'll be able to run into him, but he'll probably tell them now's not a good time for casual face-to-face conversation. :|

That said, any plotting around or about this is groovy with me, including someone to meet him and make him realize he has something up with him.

[blessingone]

Yo. I've been fairly slow lately, but I'll put the mission tags at top priority to mitigate that.

Fenimore worked at a battlefield triage tent (Wikipedia searching suggests this means determining the severity of injuries to know how to split up medical supplies/doctor attention, but in the game it seemed to also function as a rest area), so she'll be available if the doctors/healers (or anyone, really) need a gopher of sorts. But otherwise she can keep herself busy with background stuff, like food preparation, clothing repair, and the like. Generally, she can be expected to handle herself and follow directions, though she gets testy under stress.

She's also experienced in the art of keeping Grune occasionally on task and mostly out of trouble, but she won't be able to manage this all the time. Her lapses will be left up to the rest of you, so head up to Grune's comment for that sort of thing. She can be called upon to corral her if necessary.

If things go pear-shaped for whatever reason, like due to the Shift Hunters, she has learned some self-defence, but she feels like "not looking like a threat" is her best defence. So she mightn't bring her sword, she's likely to hide her combat fans, and she probably won't display that she can defend herself at all unless she gets into a tight corner. As such, this mightn't even come up, but it might be worth noting.

Also in the "may not come up unless things go pear shaped" category, Fenimore can breathe underwater and swim better than the average human even in a dress, though she will be against volunteering this information outside of something vague like "I'm a good swimmer." (She might tell Minato if the chips are down and Grune is aware of it, but outside of a passing familiarity with some of them she doesn't know most of them to trust them.) Humans in her world tend to react badly to her nonhuman status, to put it mildly. But if things go pear-shaped in a floody sort of way, she can probably be counted on fairly well.

...Congrats if you read all that and apologies for not being succinct.

>.> Would a worried French Surgeon be good for he initial 'wtf is going on with you man?'

[lucetimods]

Actually journals aren't taken on missions. But acquiring radios for communicating with other people on the missions is possible.

[fuckthemission]

Oh! I saw a journal used on the last one and assumed without looking into it like the rper I am. But yeah, a radio is even better since it's right up his alley.

Also he's able to just ask for things, right? Much like a draft? He'd love to have his hands on a few of his favorite guns.

[fuckthemission]

... perhaps. |DDDDDD

[fleurdesel]

Off tomorrow, working friday evening so will be slow then, BUT.

Adele is. A surgeon. Straight up trauma's her specialty. She'll be spending her time manning the medic tents, keeping people alive or patching up injuries as they come in.

If there's combat- she's more likely to run and hide unless she's got patients to protect. Then she'll do something stupid to keep them safe, most likely.

+1 Beastly Soldier here--Viral. Uh...he's gonna be really good at his job, and really bad at interacting with so many humans a once. Fortunately many of the people on this mission are warriors of one school or another. This itself shall keep things smooth.

He has extensive experience in this sort of thing, being a wilderness resident by nature. He's also become very good at helping humans in the face of tragedy. This will be nothing really new to him.

If things go really wacky, he's quite strong physically and an agile swimmer. He's a genetic hybrid of feline and shark DNA. Go figure. He's also experienced with multiple forms of weaponry, and knows all of those cool survivalist things.

So, if you want to go traipsing through the wreckage, or you just want a strong warrior at your back, he's here for the plottage. :3

Also, I currently have relatives in town and will be a little slowaitused. I'll hit the tags when I'm able, and would love to backtag this for as long as it takes. This boy needs the CR, and its gonna be difficult for him to get it otherwise.

[fleurdesel]

Pleeeeeease?

[blessingone]

so i herd your a fishy nonhuman people say i am kind of fishy myself

Okay, that's not going to actually happen since Fenimore would never admit this about herself, but I thought it was funny to think about. If enough wackyness occurs to require all of the swimming experts, she might be helping with that swimming thing, though.

[no_compromise]

Alas, he doesn't have gills, but there is enough evidence to point to an impressive lung capacity...and terrible luck. His sole command...ended with an entire submarine of marine-type beastmen sinking. He was the only survivor. D:

It is pretty funny, though. We should get all of the fishie types together one day for a grand ole race in the ocean!

[vor]

I want these two to meet.

[blessingone]

...Ouch, dude. That is some bad luck. (Bad luck is another thing they have in common, since Fenimore's village really faired poorly in her game.)

They would rule at the summer olympics if Luceti had one of those.

[no_compromise]

D: Poor Fenimore~!

But yes--they would rock at a summer olympics. The only one that might beat them is Keimi...and she is just too adorable.

[voidseeing]

THIS IS THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY FOR CR WITH THESE TWO YES.

[blessingone]

Yeah, having an actual fishtail probably beats out the more humanoid water species. XD

[no_compromise]

THAT WAS MY THOUGHT SO HARD YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE.

[voidseeing]

I AM PLEASED. Gai will be happy to have someone else who knows what he's doing around, that much is for sure. XD

[no_compromise]

Viral would feel the same. Do you have any idea how hard it is cleaning up after the messes left behind by incompetent humans for seven years?

[voidseeing]

Oh, Gai can believe it. His best friend manages to single-handedly ruin just about every single mission he touches, so. He knows all about incompetence.

[vor]

Gregor is going to be around, but he's pretty shy and hard to read, so if anyone wants to sit him down and make him vent a bit about how disturbing this is, that would be great. He hasn't really seen a lot of ugliness in his life, at least not in this sense.

[voidseeing]

... this is totally the best way to get Gai involved in things here hahaha. ANYWAY in canon Gai is... a terrorist leader, basically. He runs a resistance organization that fights against the GHQ and he does a lot of the mission-leading himself so this is pretty much the standard order of business for him.

He has absolutely no magical or supernatural abilities but he is a highly-skilled martial artist and experienced with various types of weaponry as well. ... he also has balls of steel so if there's crazy, reckless stuff that needs doing, he'll be all up for that.

[no_compromise]

fffffffff

Yeah. They should get along JUST FINE.

[no_compromise]

...you know what's funny? A few people have all ready used Viral as their personal...counselor. Oddly. He's terrible at it, but he also is bluntly honest. If the two happen to meet...?
