Talk to Individual

For the third option, a list of passengers appears and names can be searched for by letter. Anyone who has been working to try and make communications happen on their own devices will find those linked in to this network- though it is still only possible to use voice. If they have headphones from the music room they can make it so they work like earpieces.

Give your thread a day and rough timestamp. Replies to a top level should be in one thread unless you switch to speak to individual (and make a thread under that heading.)

7 Quicksand, soon after arrival

[blitzcheer]

Hey, everyone! Tidus here. [ As one will hear by his voice. ] I uh, took a few of the transgates off the train before we left. Since they're already set up - and it doesn't look like we're going to have any trouble about them not working.

[ Hopefully. ]

The inn lady's letting us stick one there. If anyone's going up the mountain and forest way, and you can keep a hold of a gate easy, you wanna take one? I'm gonna be looking for the towns here, and see about getting one there. Should help us with some of these jobs.

[ Hopefully!! ]

Oh yeah, and, uh... if anyone's good about clearing roads that isn't just with a shovel, let us know? Everywhere looks pretty messed up.

[ Ergh. ]

[jingyeets]

I can always fly them to points we pick out and get them at up.

As far as cleaning up the slides, do we have what we need to stabilize the rest of the hills or mountains or wherever?

[redprayer]

Rezo speaking.

The transgates sound like an excellent idea. By all accounts, we have a great deal of ground to cover.

As for clearing the roads, I will be able to help with that. I have various spells that would be useful for clearing rubble, and I could create a few golems to help with the manual labor.

7 Quicksand, Arrival

[asheaveniswide]

For those who expressed interest previously, my hunt book has updated itself.

Each of these ..void blobs are currently unlimited in their extermination, but I would recommend against eating them. They should provide a decent challenge, and are an active risk to this location, its environs and its people. Slaughter freely. As I understand it these will likely be part of many of our objectives regardless.

There is a goat-creature however significantly higher rated as a challenge as it is not assigned to be killed, merely subdued and pacified. .. They are however, apparently edible, and a reasonably decent source of bone and hide. One may assume it is not difficult to kill, and gaining B-rank status is merely because of its success conditions.

There are non-threats also listed, some sort of primate, but I presume none are interested in consuming those. There are no bicolor gem rewards, or nuts for that matter, as there is no-one to turn the log into. Satisfaction will have to do.

7 Quicksand

[yondu]

[Yondu sounds extra serious at the moment. No casual rambly old man, complete captain with a real issue he's planning on taking care of.]

Stay the hell away from Ciyesia! You're gonna see a mess but it ain't got nothin' to do with the mission, nothin' to do with the void. Certain crewman's got a personal issue he's got to work out.

If circumstances change, I'll let ya know real quick.

[subcircuits]

Yondu, what's going on? You need any backup?

[unrecovered]

[The noise is concerning, and the message makes it both better and worse. His tone is tight and controlled, one team leader to another.]

Is it contained.

[Are they going to need to remove people from its path, or evacuate?]

Quicksand 8

[10billionpercent]

The transgate near the herb gathering is up and operational.

And Tidus? Anytime.

[ Tidus will know what that means. ]

[blitzcheer]

Thank you, O Wise Leader of Ishigami Village.

Somewhere between Quicksand 8-10: To All

[wewillwewill]

At Tidus's request, Emet-Selch and I have seen to the creation of concept crystals that most of you should be able to use. They have the ability to detect nearby sentient life that's not native to this world, who are not connected to the Voidtrecker Express.

The closer you are, the more the crystal will glow. You need not have any ability to empower the crystal. They will react to the aether of those who've fallen through the void. They will not indicate how dangerous or hostile the target is and may react to the fused voidcreatures.

You may pick one up at the inn. While there are several, there's still a limited quantity so if you're working with others, pray take only one per group. If you have any questions, ask.

[These are the crystal trackers mentioned in the Ongoing Post. They work on a hot/cold basis and since voidblobs can be sentient or have part of a sentient being, there's a risk that they will be picked up by the tracker. An unfortunate sideeffect. They look like a quartz crystal in structure with a milky/pearly blue color. The trackers will only work properly for this world as they were tailored to separate 'native' aether from 'visitor' aether.]

[unrecovered]

I'll take one, and I can pass it off to someone else when I'm not using it. Thanks for making these.

["I hope they work" goes unsaid. Just because he's not familiar with the magic behind it - because he assumes it is magic - doesn't mean it's not functional.]

Quicksand 10

[yondu]

I marked some of the paths out of the woods if anyone needs 'em over the last couple days. [Where the trunks are glowing.]

I'm gonna focus on settin' up secure perimeters around some places. If anyone has the experience, I'd be glad to work with ya.

[That sandbag idea sounds pretty good right now as a sound dampener, too.]

[wewillwewill]

We've managed to establish some defenses around the fields in the lowlands. I'd be willing to lend my insight. I plan to travel to some of the outlying communities and begin helping with establishing defenses there as well. What is your location?

Quicksand 11

[unrecovered]

I'm heading up to the scrublands for search and rescue, if anyone wants to join - we're looking for missing animals and displaced people, and if we can reunite some dralites with their kids along the way, great. Meet me at the transgate - I'll head out in about half an hour.

[ironchef]

[Hunk's feeling pretty terrible about the birds. So even if he's not all that fond of fighting? He knows he can, so he's getting out there and doing his part.]

I'm going to be around if anyone wants someone to escort them while their hands are full. I can take on the bigger stuff so I definitely should be out there.

[He doesn't sound eager to, but he can.]

I'm open to teaming up with anyone. No one should be on their own out there.

Quicksand 11

[fivemilesdeep]

We've made more than enough potions and salves and we have a lot of craggle leaves; if you haven't taken some already, make sure you do. I'll be at the transgate in the farmlands, and I've left plenty at the inn if you're closer to there. Definitely take some craggle leaves if you plan on working with the dralites - they should help.

Talk to Team

[voidtreckermods]

Give your thread a day and rough time stamp and specify which team. Replies to a top level should be in one thread unless you switch to speak to individual (and make a thread under that heading).

Note that you only have the option to speak to your own team here and all of those designated that team (no matter what mission they are on) can hear. (So for example a message to purple will go to all of purple even the member of purple who is currently working with blue. Likewise that message to purple will not reach those of red who are helping out and working with purple.)

Talk to Individual

[voidtreckermods]

Specify individual (remember names will be those on the passenger roster) and give the thread a day.

7 Quicksand --To Cassie Cage

[light_of_willpower]

Cassie, find my mom then find me. We've got that situation I warned you about. Yondu and I will keep him busy.

Re: 7 Quicksand --To Cassie Cage

[nutkrusher]

Gotcha.

8th quicksand, elidibus

[blitzcheer]

[ Brng brng, brng brng, Elidibus's SCA. It's a call coming from Tidus!!

(only 5% remembering and being grumpy about that NETWORK POST YOU MADE WEEKS AGO UGH!!) ]

[wewillwewill]

[ Someone has to be the asshole. Probably wasn't the best plan to get everyone riled while he was weaked, true. But minor details! The communication is answered in a timely manner.]

This is Elidibus. What is it you need, Tidus?

[ Lately he's been better about using peoples' names. At least those he's closer to. ]

Nia, 8 Quicksand; morning

[blitzcheer]

[ Brng brng, Nia's SCA. It's more of a vibration, and a small holographic screen giving Tidus's name, with a choice of answering it on Nia's side. And if she does...! ]

Hey there, it's me. [ Obviously, but a greeting's a greeting. ] You doing okay? Heard things got rocky over by the mountain.

13 Quicksand, to Lioriley

[redprayer]

[At some point during the mid-morning, Lioriley's SCA will alert her to a call from Rezo. Should she deign to pick up, she'll be greeted by his voice, brisk and business-like.]

Lioriley? This is Rezo. Are you busy at the moment?
