Field Mission 3: Brushing the Sun, Part 2
![]()
![]() 1. THE UNRAVELING (CTA RESULTS)![]() A. EVERYONE GET THE HELL OFF THIS CRAZY THING With the Bureau quickly packing up and getting the hell out of dodge, four Reclaimers — Kaede, Komaeda, Minato and Lion — made an honest attempt to evacuate the dwarves and goblins still on board. They were mildly successful in drawing half of all the goblins into their fold, but the dwarves were much more resistant. Ultimately, only five agreed to leave behind their precious forge. Bread and Barry were also handily convinced that it was time to leave. Their chosen method here included a lot of falling with style. With a little help from Lion, a breeze is whipped up to give the trip down a bit more wind resistance. Even though they didn't convince as many as they would like to leave, this is still a very large logistical effort — you may help pass out treats to help evacuees float down. You may wrangle up any stragglers that wander too far away from the group. Ultimately though, everyone who agreed to evacuate, as well as the Reclaimers who are helping, will be able to safely make it to the ground. Except for one. Upon ensuring that Good Girl Cocoa makes it down safe, Minato will find that there are no more magic treats to help him safely evacuate, too. And when Maru perishes, so does he. Additionally, Barry does go down with the evacuation group, but by the time Maru crashes to the ground, he's no where to be found, and presumed dead. This also means that very nearly every dwarf and goblin who refused to evacuate also perished. B. A CHAT WITH A TIRED SPIRIT, AND AN UNRAVELING Akira, Zelda, Maya and Sayori are assigned to try to take on the Whomping Willow so they can reach the forge it's guarding. With an insanely good hit from one of Zelda's Light Arrows, the tree is stunned — and with the unfortunate curse of sentience that drives it, it is humbled by the raw power, and elects to speak to the group. The Whomping Willow is several thousand years old, and so, so tired of this enchantment. After revealing the wisdom of the Beastmaster class, Maya is able to disenchant it, effectively reducing it to a simple willow tree once again — and with the help of a few Persona users, they are able to successfully transplant it to a small alcove in the Quad of the Moon Base. What does this mean for Reclaimers? Well, you now have some very comfortable shade to relax under. You have a monument to your successes. If you happen to know a druid with Speak with Plants, it'll also dispense some of the wisdom it's accumulated over the millennia in the form of advice. Meanwhile, Sans and McCree, with an easy entrance to the forge, make quick work of unraveling the yarn, setting the dwarves trapped there free, and successfully convincing them to leave the forge behind for their own safety. And as they continue to make this mission look outrageously easy, they manage to unravel the yarn without causing damage to themselves and the forge. It's done so well, in fact, that the falling apart of Maru is less of an explosion, and more of a controlled, structured demolition. It's actually quite a spectacular sight, for those of you on the ground to witness it. Like a ship slowly descending to the earth and breaking apart some 100 feet above it, it feels as if the entire planet shakes upon impact. Debris is sent flying in all directions — later reports that make it to the Director's desk indicate that mining equipment was found some 20 miles away from the impact site. Unfortunately, another Reclaimer is lost in the unraveling of Maru. McCree perishes while trying to escape — but he dies a hero. C. ON THE GROUND Two teams — Franziska and Wash, and Akechi and Ryuji — are sent out to try to locate the yarn and, being as buff as they are, try to clear out as many surviving monsters as they can. Along the way, Akechi manages to steal a priceless weapon off of Hethi, the guardian spirit of the paper mountain that once stood on Maru. Also along the way, Akechi says some really cute social link rank-up shit to Ryuji, which in turn causes his Persona to turn into a bear. Later on, Franziska manages to convince Hethi to move to the Netheril, effectively becoming Vista Virs' new guardian. She's so convincing, in fact, that Hethi sees this as a divine intervention, and Wash and Franziska are both incorporated into the mysterious guardian's origin fable as divine advisers. Both groups also find survivors of the fall, and safely evacuate them to Phandalin. While Ryuji and Akechi manage to blast through entire hordes of monsters with little injury, Wash and Franziska are not quite so lucky. Nobody perishes, but the both of them will probably need some assistance. Finally, with the help of Cocoa and her nose, Akechi and Ryuji are able to locate the yarn, and a recovery team from the Bureau retrieves and delivers it straight to the Director's hands. Congratulations, Reclaimers. Your third mission was a smashing success. 2. THE BEFOREMATH AND THE AFTERMATHD. EVERY NOW AND THEN I FALL APART You're only as good as your backup, as they say. And the Reclaimers who are not currently attempting to fetch a wayward overpowered ball of yarn are going to have a lot on their plates, before Maru comes crashing down in spectacular fashion. That plate does not include Maru itself. Every hour that passes that you do not escape on your own, the ground's stability grows more precarious. You can feel it shifting underneath your feet, like it's straining, trying to contract into itself. In the distance, an ominous rumbling. The land is literally cracking apart, and you do not want to be on board when it finally tumbles down to the ground. ○ Convincing those who could be convinced to evacuate was no easy feat, but for those of you on board with immediately helping, there's a shortage of hands on deck to move people as quickly as possible. E. THAT'S UNFORTUNATE Once you're on the ground, if you choose to dig among the rubble yourself, you may find any last resources that the impact site may have slapped to the surface. They're very small, but gems and diamonds are your highest prize here. The forge, however, was destroyed on impact, shooting a massive burst of magical energy straight into the sky, before it dissipates. Should you happen to find yourself anywhere near the remains of the forge, however, one of the following may happen: ○ You will be turned into an animal of your choosing for two hours. F. THE TOWN OF PHANDALIN ![]() The aftermath of Maru's collapse can be viewed from Phandalin, a nearby prospecting town that is now host to a host of floating island evacuees. Well, a whole lot of dust can be viewed, anyway. For those of you who arrived here with said evacuees, or simply evacuated here yourself, consider yourselves put on something of a mandatory two-day vacation. The orbs back to the Moon Base just can't seem to get past the dust choking the air directly above the town. Phandalin is on the small side, and inhabited mostly by prospectors looking for valuable resources deep within the nearby mountains. To say that this is the biggest influx of visitors they've ever had is an unfathomable understatement — and while they are hardly a settlement built for tourism, they're more than willing to take your coin. Or any remnants of Maru you happen to have on hand. Now is your time to rest. Gather your bearings. Or, work more, if that's more your speed. ○ A small group of dwarves need to figure out where to go next, after all. Will you help them find a place to stay in town? Or will you help gear them up so they can set out on their own, once the dust (literally) settles? The blacksmith in town can't make anything new on such short notice — but he does have plenty of tools and weapons for sale. ![]() An old half-elf by the name of Daran Edermath tends to an orchard just on the edge of town. It's a bit of a locally hidden gem for Phandalin- the old, retired adventurer turned vintner keeps the trees well nourished and tended to all year long. It's spring time here in Faerun, and naturally, there should the crowns of budding apple blossoms coming up and ready to take shape. But wandering in here, you'll notice that they've developed into beautiful looking, ripe apples. Daran is one of the oldest living people in Phandalin and while he hasn't been around long enough to know what happened to the Lost Mine of Phandelver, he does seem to wear a sort of smile when he hears about it. See, in his youth, he snuck down there with only an apple for rations to his name. He doesn't know how he stumbled upon it, or even how he really made it past the monstrosities that lie in there. But Edermath farms remembers. Those apples that are perfectly colored and perfectly ready to eat? They're all the result of that one apple he dipped into the forge. Must be about 100 years ago. The sweet scent of cider, sauces, and butters fills the air in almost every direction. It's a time to relax and enjoy the days before returning to base, and he's more than willing to trade a few silver pieces for a bucket of the stuff. For those of you with a little more adventurous taste buds, Daran offers you to try an apple from a tree that grows many different colored fruits. He'll explain that there's a little bit of magic in those too, but nothing that'll hurt you. Give it a try, see what happens! These will last up to 24 hours. ○ Red - your senses elevate far beyond what a normal human should be able to accomplish. You can hear, see, smell, and touch better than you ever have before. Take a walk out into Phandalin after the dust settles. The color and the scent of the flowers should be amazing. Eventually, though, the dust will clear, and with the jutted earth and remains of Maru in the horizon, you'll board the orbs and return to the Moon Base. Because a true rest after this mission is waiting you back home. You could say it's going to be quite the retreat. 2. OOC NOTECongratulations on successfully reclaiming the third Grand Relic! We hope you enjoyed exploring, and ultimately unraveling, Maru. For people new to the game, you may notice that there isn't an RNG thread. CTA logs generally do not have one, just to give us mods a bit more time to work on the interlude, and the next field mission. You can check out our calendar to see what's coming up next! The TDM will be posted Monday, April 29. Reserves open Wednesday, May 2 and applications open Saturday, May 5. blurb code by photosynthesis |

[ Maybe you were one of the people that recovered his remains, or spent a shift watching over his body bag (accompanied by an utterly destroyed violin), or one of the people that dragged his body into the temple. Or maybe you just heard the rumor of a blue haired Reclaimer that chose to die to save Cocoa's life.
He's been revived in Phandalin's temple thanks to a generous donation from Maya. He's in constant pain though, so he hasn't moved very much. He certainly hasn't left to explore the town. And without anything to distract him from the pain -- no paper, no violin, no mp3 player -- he's become very cranky. The temple attendants constantly asking how he's feeling doesn't help. When footsteps approach his makeshift bed in the temple he rolls over with a groan, not even looking to see who it is. ]
Fuck off.
[ Enough prodding will get him out of his bed, if you can put up with his sour mood. ]
B
[ Congratulations! You've argued with him for more than two minutes and successfully gotten him to grumpily climb out of bed to see the town. The orchard is what catches his attention the most, especially the ripe apples. Aren't apples best in autumn? He's not sure these can taste too good if they're ripening in spring, even with magic.
From the tree that Daran has offered them to peruse, Minato's eyeing the yellow apples and the pink apples. He's already died, so it's not like whatever dumb shit these apples will due are going to do worse. Well, they might, but his pain doesn't let him care enough to think that far. Ultimately he can't be assed to decide and turns to you. ]
Suggestions?
C
[ The second the spheres started arriving he dragged his ass into one and checked in to the moonbase's infirmary. Precious, gracious relief flows through his veins. He can finally sleep his life away just like he has always wanted!
And he would, but he's been having trouble falling asleep for some reason. He's been tossing and turning for hours. It just isn't coming as naturally to him as it used to. The medics seem to think he's fine and probably just needs a bit more rest. You have to be kind to yourself; Dying is a very traumatic experience.
Next to him is some paper and pencils where he's been writing something out. His MP3 player sits neatly on top of them. When you enter he's not doing anything in particular. Staring into space, lost in thought, wishing he was asleep. He nods to you as a greeting. ]
Wildcard
[ Cocoa lived! Mission success! If you want to plot something out hit me up on Discord at Kelories#6484 or on plurk at
A!!!!!!
[Kaede's steps falter, her heart sinking somewhere into the floor and all but disappearing. He does hate her after all, huh? She'd been afraid of it, but had managed to convince herself that there's no way.
At least he's alive. Even if he hates her, he's alive.]
S-Sorry... I'll go if you want me to. I just... thought maybe you'd want to eat something together.
[As soon as she'd heard he was breathing and awake, she'd come running, only stopping long enough to get a basket of food from the local inn. Some kind of meat stew and coarse bread; nothing to really write home about, but she'd really thought that something like that would be comforting for him.
She'd wished there had been a friend there for her after her execution, after all.]
no subject
I'll eat.
[ He sits up slowly, huffing from the effort. He's always down to eat. ]
no subject
...Really, she should have known better than to think Minato would turn down food, though, no matter who brings it to him. She ventures closer, sets the basket down and tries to help him arrange his blankets to make it at least a little more comfortable to sit up.]
I got a funny look when I tried to ask what was in it, but... soup is supposed to be good for you, right? [She gives him a tentative smile as she offers the covered bowl from the bag. Why isn't there fantasy tupperware in Faerun; walking with a bowl covered by just a napkin was really hard!!
She holds out a spoon and some bread. Her hands are shaking, as much as she's trying not to.] Um... do you want me to leave?
no subject
She's seen him be slow to respond before, but this is almost comical. ]
..... You can stay.
[ He wants to know how Cocoa is, but finds he can't muster the energy to ask, so he takes the napkin off of the bowl and... stares at it again. How's he going to eat this?
....
He lifts it and tilts it to pour into his mouth. ]
no subject
Um...
[She taps his elbow with the spoon, very cautiously.]
Arisato-kun, you better not choke.

a ok a real tag 5 days later
[ okay just kidding, he died, so, like, he can't realistically be expected to be in a good mood. she's patient.... in this situation. ]
I brought you some food. You can stay in bed if you want, but I have the feeling people are gonna keep bugging you.
[ she has a sandwich in hand!! ]
my hero!!
He's staring at Maya's hand.
Sandwich please. ]
no subject
Shoot, I should have brought water...
[ she's just now realizing this. oh well. ]
So, um... you probably don't wanna talk right now, huh?
no subject
Water would have been appreciated but so will this sandwich. He takes it gently in his hands and holds it in front of his mouth for a few seconds. He's preparing for the effort it will take to chew it before he takes a bite. ]
no subject
I get it. I won't bug you too much, I just wanted to make sure you were feeling a little better and if you, um, needed anything, I guess.
[ she'll get water for him once she's sure he's not going to drop her excellent sandwich on the ground!! she's poised at the ready to help him eat, if only to save the precious sandwich. ]

rolls in late with starbucks; also A
When he does come about a day later, it's bearing gifts. Which is to say, he brought food, of course, get-well gifts are awkward and Shinjiro would probably die again himself before he went to that depth of sentimentality.]
Food first. C'mon.
[Like, he's perfectly willing to fuck off if Arisato really wants him to, but he came for a reason, also. A brownpaper bag is placed right on the bed next to him. There's still no ramen, because existence on Faerun is cursed, but he's made a rough approximation based on what ingredients he could get from the inn via Rustic Hospitality. There's also a small container of apple turnovers made from the uh, non-magical varieties from that orchard because nobody needs to get into an embarrassing feelingfest here after the bullshit they've been through already.]
no subject
And he brought him food! He doubts Shinji had the time or location to make anything himself, but that's fine; Minato is still easily bribed by the cuisine. He sits up a bit too quickly and jerks to a halt, groaning in pain. God damn it. Maybe everyone should have waited a few days to resurrect him on the moon base.
He huffs and sits up the rest of the way, slowly this time. With another huff of effort he gestures to the brown bag.
What is it?
...
.....
.........
Wait he didn't say it out loud. ]
What is it?
[ There we go. ]
no subject
Closest I could get to ramen. And some dessert. If you like it, I can bring you more.
[This is pretty much the Shinjiro Aragaki version of "How are you doing? Feel better soon."]
no subject
He pulls some eating utensils out of the bag as well as settles the ramen into his lap. He takes a moment to prod at it, preparing for the effort to actually eat it. A few deep breaths before lifting it up to his mouth. He's slow to take the first bite and to chew through it too. But he nods as he chews. It's good. Thanks. ]

So we meet at last!
no subject
Hello.
[ He would sympathize with the chamomile tea mishap. He was tricked into it's terrible effects a few weeks ago by someone he knows. Absolutely horrible for someone that both loves sleep and dislikes talking. ]
C
Darkness, but breathable.
So she waits to visit until they're back at base. By then, she's had some time to calibrate her own emotions too, so that she can show up to the infirmary with a smile. She holds her journal in one hand and a Supercookie--a triple chocolate cookie sandwiched between two magical chocolate chip cookies--on a small plate in the other.] Hi there!
How are you feeling? I can come back later if it's not a good time!
no subject
[ What kind of cookie monstrosity did she walk in with? ]
no subject
Her smile becomes brighter.] Awesome! [With his approval, she plops herself in a seat near his bed. She offers out the plate.] I brought you a snack! You can take it apart if you want but it's really good if you eat it all together.

He gives her a nod. ]
It's good.

Akechi smiles to himself.]
Oh and after I managed to sneak Cocoa in to say thank you, too. Well, that is fair. I can leave you two alone.

She was very worried, I think.
