MISSIONS | March 2014

Greetings, Tushanites!

March 1st happens to mark a new phase of gameplay here in the wonderful world of turtles and we need you to make it work! Below, there are five missions. Please read them over carefully and then fill out the textarea form at the bottom. There is an element of randomization here but players can also submit missions for pre-formed groups of their own choosing! Part of expanding the known realm of Konryu, we've updated and expanded our Setting page to include 8 new continents which are going to be gradually opened for exploration and development, which you'll start to see coming in to play in the missions below.

As detailed in our State of the Shell: Missions section, each mission your character undergoes (threaded out with at least ten comments from your character) is worth a credit, and each handwaved mission is worth half a credit. Please note: only missions that you yourself come up with can be handwaved. The 'mod missions' are ones where participation is considered mandatory, as you are filling a limited slot. If we notice a trend amongst any one player of signing up for missions and leaving their mission-mates hanging, we will be speaking with them to determine a suitable outcome.

March is a bit different than what will follow, as this is a new concept and we're trying to put a system in place that works for everyone, so for this month we have five prefabricated missions, so that players can get some understanding of what can be done in the world. If you'll note we also have a comment header where you can suggest the sorts of missions you'd like to see in the months that follow! Feel free to be as succinct or not as you please, as we'll be basing next month's missions on this feedback.

We also have a comment header for questions. Please don't hesitate to for more information or clarifications... we're new to this too!

This month's planned missions are as follows:

SIAXHI (INVESTIGATION)
VIAN THAX (RESCUE)
TEYRAN (EXPLORATION)
GHA'NAL (QUEST)
DUST (UNDERCOVER)


Each month, a player can volunteer a character for up to three mod missions. Like other limited space elements in the game, we ask that each player only submit one character from their roster for the mod missions, though their other characters can be submitted for player missions, so long as it's one mission per character per month. To sign up, fill out the information below and choose your top three missions in order of preference. If there are more signups than available spaces for a mission, we will RNG characters into the slots. If your character isn't RNG'd into the first mission, they'll be added to the pool for the second mission, and so on for the third.

Mod missions will be tallied and their participants notified on the 5th of the month @ ~9:00PM EST. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee that everyone who signs up a character for a mission will be chosen for one of the mod missions, as it is based solely on the number of signups for each one. In the event that your character isn't chosen for any of your three choices, you can still sign them up for a player mission before 9:00PM PST on the 7th.

Player missions can involve either just your character or a pre-planned group, or even have open signup! Once your mission is approved by the mods, including any clarifications or extra information needed, you're set for playing it out. Remember that the mission can take place at any point throughout the month. For convenience purposes, we've also created the %missions tag in the log comm and we'd be very appreciative if it could be added to mission logs when they get posted.

Hi! I'm Otter, and I'm also checking in with Armin.

He doesn't have any special powers or magic, but he does have his 3 Dimensional Maneuver Gear. If there's at least a bit of rock or cliff around, he can use it to move quickly and efficiently. Also, his cables can be used as harpoons, which can immobilize and pin something down, which may come in handy here!

Thinking up plans to fight big, horrific monsters is a skill he hasn't been able to use in awhile, but it's something he's used to, so he'll be sure to give his opinion on how to catch the beast.

Hi, I'm Dees and claiming a fashionably late entrance to check in with Reiner.

Reiner has no special powers or magic that he will demonstrate. Technically he has the ability to turn into a 15 meter tall armored monster and to heal crazy amounts of injuries in his human form, but we won't be demonstrating these because he is trying to lay low. He has his Three Dimensional Maneuver Gear just like Armin.

Uh. Two other things that might come up are that he is actually pretty whacked out in the skullpan and has dissociative episodes. His behaviour won't change a whole lot depending on which frame of mind he is in, but it might be inconsistent. Also him and Armin consider each other enemies (though they've got a rocky truce here) for Reiner-has-done-horrible-things-in-his-past reasons.

Also, in regard to the mother and cub situation, Reiner would definitely agree to bringing them both back. It just seems sensible.

So we have two kids from Attack on Titan… one granddaughter of THE Titans… and one Teen Titan. This is now Mission: Titan.

And I will be having Bart nonchalantly tell them he's a Titan. Cause I'm evil.

Yeah I'm thinking Bucky and Steph infiltrating is probably the best, and Bucky would definitely want Scott to shrink down and go in unnoticed with them since that way he could get around easier than anyone else to listen to conversations / get into places they can't. Bucky would definitely think that'd be a huge advantage for them and that Scott's talents would be wasted anywhere else :|a
beganwithamask: (Default)

[personal profile] beganwithamask 2014-03-06 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
That'd probably be their best bet! Bucky is shit at talking to ~fancy~ people, so he'd be better off posing as a staff member to hit up the working class (because staff members probably see and hear a lot just from working there and largely being ignored), while Steph could get closer to the royal family and go from that angle. That and Scott zooming around as Ant Man seems like a pretty solid infiltration.

And if they need the distraction, I'm guessing Enjolras probably knows a thing or two about starting political riots? I'm not entirely familiar with Les Mis :|a

Oh good Lord, Reiner? Seriously? Of course we'd get picked for the same mission.

Armin is going to suggest he be a meatshield or something. Out of spite. :| REINER, GO TANK. NO WE DON'T HAVE A HEALER. SHUT UP AND TAKE YOUR LUMPS.

Don't go all Gesumin on us, Armin.

But yeah, probably these two are going to need one private moment away from everybody else to go goddamnit, you.

I agree that splitting this up into minithreads and tagging around looks like the way to go! Maybe one of us can set up a log and a bunch of top comments and we can swing it from there.

And since everyone else is doing it, if anyone wants to plot out anything specific with a zen alienbug, you can just comment here or reach me on plurk at [plurk.com profile] feygasm! He's going to be spreading his time around equally with the exception (as with most of the characters it seems) of the library, though I'll need to give a little more thought to what subjects he'll seek out.

[personal profile] originalflameon 2014-03-06 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Jim is also all for sneaking, but sadly he doesn't have any kind of power that could help with that but once in the prison he could easy melt any chains, bars or anything that got in their way. He would also suggest having someone looking out in case guards come, and offer himself for the job since he can't really help much when it comes to subtlety, and having an illusionist and a teleporter on board it'd make sense for them to do the big sneaking job :|a

THAT SAID he will also probably offer himself as some sort of distraction, maybe using the cargo idea to get inside the city then use his flames to boil water, change the temperatures around and scare/distract everyone while others run inside the prison? On that vein I'd be all of Jim getting caught, too.

[personal profile] strategisch 2014-03-06 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Armin's honestly pretty frightened of him still, since Eren is gone and the truce is moot, and he assumes that Reiner is the ringleader. But around other people Reiner has to keep up the facade of being normal, so that's a little comforting.

WELL THIS IS A FINE PICKLE. At least they're capable of completing missions.

[personal profile] backinakidflash 2014-03-06 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, we may want to break the thread up into 2-and-3 anyway, so we should have chances for them to break off from the group anyway. Half the team on distraction, half on drug duty.
strategisch: (researching)

[personal profile] strategisch 2014-03-06 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
I would imagine Bart and Annabeth would be best for trying to administer the drug, since they can move the fastest/ in the air? You know, being sneaky-sneaky. Reiner and Taiki and Armin would make good distractions.
warrioreidlos: © tumblr id erwinoutfitters (Default)

[personal profile] warrioreidlos 2014-03-06 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Reiner would probably volunteer for the position as distraction. 209 pounds of sneaky, he is not.

[personal profile] ixis 2014-03-06 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Naugus also has powers to cause panic and unease or generally escalate bad feelings either in an individual or a whole crowd, and he can just kind of keep that on like an aura, so there's more for causing distractions! Or riots.

He's got the same problem as Kurt, though, in that he's pretty distinct in his appearances and would be visible as an outsider or intruder easy-peasy. So maybe the more human-looking teammates will have to case things out first, ask questions, get ideas?

Diana is mostly in favor of more straight-forward methods, but could be persuaded to go the sneaky route. She has a typical host of superpowers--flight, strength, etc-- but can also force people to tell the truth, which may help in locating the rescuees.

She is very good at talking people around and making them work together; if they have a plan she'll try to make sure everyone follows it to the end.

She'll also be adamant about not leaving anyone behind.

If they need more human-looking people to do recon, she'd be a good fit for that-- then perhaps Kurt and Naugus could do the actual work of the rescuing.

LMFAO titans everywhere i'm dying this is the best

splitting them up seems a good idea! annabeth herself would probably suggest the split up or backup whoever does (distraction vs drug administration)! and i'm down for her on drug duty. she's no bart, but she's canonly one of the fastest people in her own series on top of the whole invisible thing c:

she'd probably also suggest going for the mother first, since it's the bigger threat.
ixis: (Shadows)

[personal profile] ixis 2014-03-06 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
I like this idea! Also, good call on needing a ringleader. Might be up to Diana to ICly patch together the plan once everyone's put in their two cents, ideas and potential contributions.

[personal profile] ixis 2014-03-06 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Just thought of something else: Since this mission has the slate to span 4 days, they might need a temp place to squat down and make plans before going through with the rescue endeavor. Maybe Kurt could scout out a place that seems safe for them to do so? A derelict apartment or an oblivious elderly person's attic or an abandoned warehouse or something of that nature.

i'm willing to have her boss people around icly, as long as everyone else is cool with it ;)

i believe our last two teammates are booker and nilin, who both are also human-ish. we could perhaps do one thread of jim, diana, and those two (depending on what they would prefer) gathering intel, and maybe a thread before that for all 6 to plan. then naugus and kurt could get them in, and we could go from there?

Booker will also be in favor of sneaking if possible - though he's maybe not the greatest at it, lol. And he's in a similar position about not being a very good team player on the whole. He's used to mostly working alone and just sort of coming up with plans on the fly.

THAT SAID, he's the guy you want on your side in a shootout, and he's got some powers like being able to set things on fire, being able to electrocute stuff, and being able to possess machines like mechanized turrets and things to fight for him instead of against him.

He's not at alllll afraid to get his hands dirty, and casualties won't bother him too much.

If we're going with Annabeth and Bart on drug duty, she should probably suggest/order that she be the one to administer the drug. Being the faster one, the safer plan (IE NOT BART'S PLAN) would be to have him free to get her out, should the distraction fail.

OH. And I should probably note that, sorry guys, I'm putting him in costume for this, and he'll be introducing himself as Kid Flash. While Bart isn't the most discreet person ever, the power use is probably going to be flagrant. He'd suit up.
