What: MISSION # 7 - The Flooded Valley
When: June 7th to June 9th
Where: Sirry Craggs
Summary: A dam bursts thanks to the cultists, flooding a small hotel not far from the area. Lucetians have been rushed to assist the area, being the closest enclosure to the incident.


Last night, an urgent message went out to Luceti via the Malnosso Assignment and Reward Center. Twenty-eight volunteers were collected and the following morning, sent out. Hardly any time for preparation at all. There was no waiting time. No explanation of the situation. Merely a relocation Shift. Along with the dam came miserable weather. Harsh winds and rain blanketed the area and the Security Forces chopper that descended to drop off supplies could barely stay airborne. After dropping off the tents, medical supplies, and food they would need, the military officer in charge, Specialist Davis, yelled a few quick orders over the chopper's engines and the howling wind.

"The hotel is located five clicks from here, downhill and through nasty terrain. Those of you who signed up to look," he pointedly glanced at the survivalists, " You'll find most of them on the roof of the building. But there's eighteen unaccounted for. Bring them back here. In three days, we'll be able to pick you up. Watch out for sparties and baskers." Turning back to his pilot, he signaled him to take off. There was still a battle to be fought to the north, where the cultists were still waging battle. From that point on, the Luceti volunteers were on their own.

Among their supplies were the materials to set up lodging, tents, and more insulated shelters. With the rain and wind, it would be hell for the caretakers to put together, but they'd need to have it all set up before the survivors started arriving. In the meantime, the guards would need to stake a perimeter while the doctors prepared any space they could for the injured that would no doubt be arriving. It was utter chaos. And this time the Malnosso hadn't bothered to set someone in charge. They would have to work it out together.

Day 1 - The volunteers will have to set up the camp despite brutal weather and a lack of any powers or technology. Their starting location is in the mountains, above the valley, on a flat and stony surface with mountainous cover to the north and east of them. There is plenty of supplies and room to accommodate the nearly one hundred people that will be present there for the next three days, though the rain and wind means the risk of ruining supplies that may force them to ration some of it.

Most of the hotel staff and guests will be found on the roof of a three floor hotel. The first two floors are already flooded and the building itself threatens to be swept away. Fortunately the survivalists have been provided ample amounts of rope and cables to make their way to the roof from the nearby cliffs and trees. The remaining eighteen guests are lost in the wilderness surrounding. Among them, several will be injured, sick, or unconscious. At least five of them will have already died, three by drowning, one by head injury, and another ripped apart by Shift Hunters. For the duration of the day, the storm doesn't let up.

Day 2 - Around three in the morning, the storm will finally let up. Though it continues to drizzle and the sky is gray, the volunteers will no longer be fighting the elements. There may also still be survivors that need to be found. At this point, it will be up to the caretakers and doctors to care for the survivors and make the best of things. The food will need to be rationed, as several containers of it was spoiled in the downpour or stolen by wild animals over night. Flashes of light in the sky and distant explosions to the northwest will indicate a massive battle ongoing. A few military choppers may pass over during the day, but none of them will be stopping to help. At night, solitary Shift Hunters will be sniffing around the campsite and will need to be dealt with.

Day 3 - In the early morning, a small band of cultists will attack the campsite. A small group of twenty soldiers, they will provide difficulty for the guards, who have nothing but their own skill and steel to fight with, not to mention little sleep or food on their side. Once the cultists are dealt with, the day will proceed as normal, with sunshine breaking through the clouds. At about 5PM, a swarm of cultists will be spotted to the northwest, flying towards their location in a massive swarm. At this time, several transport choppers will be arriving to escort the survivors and volunteers away from the location. The volunteers will be on the last chopper to go and may be forced to fight off some of the cultists in the escape. Fortunately attack choppers will be providing cover fire to aid in the escape. By the end of the hour, the volunteers will be on their way home.

----

The survivors are composed of civilians who may be part of the Malnosso organization, but occupy positions in divisions of the company dedicated towards more mundane tasks, such as taxes or dentistry and so on. However, they do possess some information that Lucetians may not know. They will not be willing to give up much, since they risk heavy fines for revealing information to people in enclosures (which they will state if pressed for information). Volunteers that attempt to press them for more information and interrogate them will be reported and receive a punishment Shift on return to Luceti. This may take the form of a kidnapping-like effect, typically of the more inconvenient or embarrassing nature (such as a loss of a sense, a gender swap, being shrunk, personality adjustment, etc) and not violent. These effects will last up to a full week, depending on how severe the charge is. People that are are unfriendly (or end up disliked in general) may find themselves reported anyway since the survivors might just be in really rotten moods and not terribly grateful.

If you would like to have your character try to interrogate them, use this thread to make your request on questions that will be ask



You can use this post for questions and plotting!

Day 2

[personal profile] endgames 2012-06-08 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[Will she happy to see a dead mountain goat being dragged towards her that night? >>]
blessingone: (I know more of the stars and sea)

Day 2 - my search history looks interesting again. someone at google must think I'm going hunting.

[personal profile] blessingone 2012-06-08 08:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[She...is divided on that. She does wrinkle her nose in distaste when she sees it, because, man, the past two and a half years of pre-prepared meat from the Luceti stores was so nice. But, on the other hand, she is really hungry, which is another thing she's been glad to largely avoid in Luceti up until this point.

And...oh great, she's just finished washing the dishes and has not found the next thing to do. That means she is well-suited to offer help in getting that thing from carcass to edible. ...She could probably find someone else, but. Ugh.

She approaches, sighing deeply.]
Do you even know what to do with that?

[...She's grateful, really. But also cranky.]
endgames: (this idiocy...)

1/2

[personal profile] endgames 2012-06-08 09:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[...This is a woman. Asking him - a man - if he knows what to do with his kill.]
endgames: (Default)

Day 2 - LOL Be sure to share the goat jerky

[personal profile] endgames 2012-06-08 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[Okay, okay. That really should not be the issue here, even if it's the reason for his unimpressed look. That was probably an offer for help. Everyone's cranky right now. Just keep the peace. Smile.]

Enough to know that we could be cooking this in an hour instead of two or three if someone were to lend me a hand.
blessingone: (like you could save me)

Day 2

[personal profile] blessingone 2012-06-09 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
[If she knew what he was thinking, she probably would say that she asked since she has no way of knowing if he was the sort of guy who handed things over to someone else to cook once the hunting part of the job was done. ...But actually she really was questioning whether he actually knew how to hunt or if he just challenge goats to single combat until he got lucky. Sorry, Shika's man-pride!

...Anyway. She was afraid that would be the answer. But, well, she did sort of offer.]


...I'll get a knife. Do you have any rope? [To hang the deer off...maybe there's a tree nearby.]
endgames: (That so?)

Day 2

[personal profile] endgames 2012-06-09 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
Plenty from earlier.

[From when they had to get the survivors off the hotel roof, which he begins to pull from an inner pocket in his flak jacket. And yes, he was still carrying that on him.]

I can dress it while you find a tree.

[He would've done that earlier, but not while shift hunters are out there. 8|]
blessingone: (always thought that this could never be)

Day 2 ...whoops I called it a deer last comment since that is the dressing guide I'm going off of.

[personal profile] blessingone 2012-06-09 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[Her irritated expression disappears just long enough to look some combination of surprised and a little impressed. Honestly, who carries around enough rope to hang a goat?]

...You really are prepared for anything, aren't you? Survivalist isn't just some empty name. [She turns to go.] I'll be back when I find one.
endgames: (yare yare)

Day 2 - It's cool, I figured it was just a typo. 8|b

[personal profile] endgames 2012-06-09 08:15 pm (UTC)(link)
[Survival skills are the first thing you have to develop as a ninja in the field, So he shrugs, but he feels better about working with her now, and gets to working on the goat.]

I'll be here.
blessingone: (did you doubt the curve of the earth)

Day 2

[personal profile] blessingone 2012-06-09 10:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[It'll take her a bit to get there and back, but she was pretty sure she had seen a couple of trees when she had taken a moment to go around the camp earlier. The first one didn't really have any sturdy branches, but the second one seemed firm when she tested the branch (though it was rather a struggle to actually reach the branch from her short vantage point).

So he'll probably have had time to finish initial field-dressing by the time she half-jogs back.]


There's a tree behind one of the medical shelters that could support my weight. [She makes a mildly disgusted expression as she gets close enough to note his work on the carcass. Ugh, it's been too long since she's seen the results of anyone hunting to be exactly pleased with seeing that.] Downwind, luckily, so it shouldn't make anyone feel any sicker. [Dead goat isn't exactly fragrant.]

endgames: (Bluff)

Day 2

[personal profile] endgames 2012-06-10 12:13 am (UTC)(link)
[He has indeed, and managed to bag some of the innards too, to barbecue later. The goat hasn't been skinned yet, though, as he knows they'll need to drag it.]

Not too close to the edge of camp, right?

[It's inevitable something will smell the goat - they already got raided last night by predators for food - but let's not show it off.]
blessingone: (always thought that this could never be)

Day 2

[personal profile] blessingone 2012-06-11 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
[...That didn't occur to her. Why doesn't this place have an illusary barrier the way all Ferines villages do?]

...Not...especially close? There's a couple of tents between there and the edge. [Though there is a small gap.] There's at least one more in the middle, but it didn't really seem that sturdy.
endgames: (Thoughtful)

Day 2

[personal profile] endgames 2012-06-11 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
[He didn't actually set this place up, so.]

Can you put that in measurements? No offense, but I was taught to judge distance by meters, not tents.
blessingone: (I'm a sucker for a good lie)

Day 2

[personal profile] blessingone 2012-06-11 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
...Maybe a hundred or so?

[She is almost as bad as her player who used google maps to judge distances outside his window not especially good at judging distances, but it sounds about right.]
endgames: (Why me)

Day 2

[personal profile] endgames 2012-06-11 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
[Shikamaru is skeptical at that 'maybe' unlike his player because I still do that, but sighs and stands.]

Well let's check it out. Lead the way.

[He'll drag the goat.]
blessingone: (and to you everything will seem normal)

Day 2

[personal profile] blessingone 2012-06-11 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. It's this way.

[And, as she starts to lead the way, she looks back at the goat.]

Do you want any help with that? [Not that she'll be disappointed if he doesn't want any help in carrying it.]
endgames: (I'm. Awesome.)

Day 2

[personal profile] endgames 2012-06-11 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I got it.

[He carries around Ino all the time, so it's actually no big! ...plus it being all part of a man's duty, etc.]
blessingone: (this current moves slow for me)

Day 2

[personal profile] blessingone 2012-06-11 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay.

[She likes this man's duty thing when it gets her out of carrying dead goats. (She likes it less when it makes her subconsciously exclude men from her mental list of people who can do most of the housework.)

Anyway, as reported, there is a tree just behind a medical structure, about 100 to 150 meters from the edge of camp, with the lowest sturdy branch just under two meters off the ground. There are, indeed, a couple of tents between it and the edge of camp, but they are somewhat staggered (the camp set-up not having been especially organized) and there is a space about ten meters wide between them where it's just straight out to the edge of camp.

She stops and reports, somewhat unnecessarily:]
It's here.
endgames: (Whatever)

Day 2

[personal profile] endgames 2012-06-11 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[He's already judging the distance by this points. After a moment he nods to himself, then to her.]

This should work. But let's try and do this as quickly as safely possible.

[Also, remind him to thank Ino for having to carry her around all the time. Lifting the goat up high enough to hang off the branch isn't as troublesome as it would've been six years ago.]
blessingone: (and to you everything will seem normal)

Day 2

[personal profile] blessingone 2012-06-16 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
Right.

[Okay, while he is lifting the goat, she'll quickly slip into the nearest tent and fetch the stool she had used to reach the branch to test its ability to hold weight. That'll make it easier for her to reach if she has to do anything over her head (she's pretty short).]
endgames: (Maybe)

Day 2 - hope the timeskip is okay

[personal profile] endgames 2012-06-16 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
[AND SO THEY WORKED.

In a bloody, but somehow not to messy process, eventually the goat is being quartered, the meat being laid out on the cleanest cloth they could find.]


Now if only we had a barbecue grill.
blessingone: (always thought that this could never be)

Day 2 - 1/2 totes okay. hope the IRL timeskip is okay

[personal profile] blessingone 2012-06-30 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Fenimore glances at him, looking mildly confused. Barbecue grill...? Okay, grille she can get (not quite the right word, but it pronounces the same), but barbecue she is less sure of. Barb...barbed something? Barbed queue?

...So, spikey metal rods lined up like a grating. Do his people have a special multiple-spit method to cook a lot of meat at the same time? Well, even if this is a fair amount of meat, they probably don't need that kind of mass production.]
blessingone: (like you could save me)

Day 2 - 2/2

[personal profile] blessingone 2012-06-30 06:20 am (UTC)(link)
[She waves a hand dismissively.] One spit should be fine.

[...Just admit you have no idea what he's talking about, Fenimore.]
Edited 2012-06-30 06:21 (UTC)
endgames: (this idiocy...)

Day 2 - it's fine!

[personal profile] endgames 2012-06-30 09:39 pm (UTC)(link)
[He raises an eyebrow.]

Gotta make do with what we got. Would sure taste a lot better, though.
blessingone: (and to you everything will seem normal)

Day 2 - thanks.

[personal profile] blessingone 2012-07-02 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
...I'll have to take your word for it. I've never used a barby-queue grille before.

[BUT SHE TOTALLY KNOWS WHAT IT IS no she has no clue.]
endgames: (Thoughtful)

Day 2

[personal profile] endgames 2012-07-02 09:03 am (UTC)(link)
Seriously? Surely you've tasted some, if you've been in Luceti long enough.
