[Text | Castle Push Sign-Ups!]

[heritrix]

( OOC: Backdated to June 7th. Also don't forget the OOC sign-ups! )

The following message can be found in two places: typed on the network and on a piece of paper posted on the bulletin board, written in bright ink so people might see it. The latter is actually up several hours before it hits the network, and only at all thanks to Chara's help, though Rin's optimistic she can handle it from here.]

ATTENTION!

Throughout the rest of the month, we will be making attempts to access further areas of the castle. I’m informed the last this was attempted was two months ago, meaning it’s high time to continue, yes?

Several potential paths have been scouted out, for moving forward. We plan to tackle these as four separate missions, to be carried out before the end of June. This is an ambitious goal, and the task ahead is significant. How successful our efforts will be is dependent on how many volunteers we receive and our teamwork. If you are eager to do something productive in this place, please consider joining us, but also keep in mind the following.

Conditions of Volunteering:

— The castle is full of puzzles. Reasonable thinkers and problem solvers will be appreciated.
— Combat is expected and will be unavoidable. Be prepared and willing to fight.
— Your endurance and athleticism may be tested. Consider how well you can keep up before volunteering.
— Healing, and evidently light-based abilities may be valuable to our mission. Please note if you have any skills in these areas.
— Behavior that puts others at risk or gets in the way of the task at hand will not be humored.
— MUST be able to cooperate with your fellow volunteers! That's regardless of differences, unless it violates the above rule. If you have a different problem with someone, stay behind or work with another team.

If you can agree to the above, the names of the team leaders for each excursion. They'll let you know when and where to meet. If your team leaders do a good job, be sure to commend them for their efforts along with the members of the scouting party, if you know who they are. It's thanks to them we can do this at all.

Team 1: Rin Tohsaka
Team 2: Nami
Team 3: Rob Edwards
Team 4: Zuko

Please contact Rin Tohsaka if you have further questions.

we supposed ta reply that we want in
here
or send messages to people

[heritrix]

Here's easiest for everyone, right? But so long as the person you're going with knows, either way is fine.

Bulletin Board

[heritrix]

[With the notice tacked up, Rin looks it over one more time for errors. She still needs to go make the network post, but she can't help but pause as she reads over one line.

...the members of the scouting party, if you know who they are.

It irritates her like an out of reach itch to keep it like that. She'd rather thank them directly, but with what happened after, she's not sure if they want to be named. Chara and Sans, at least; she's not sure what Wade thinks about the whole thing. This is probably the simplest way to go about it, without rustling any feathers or potentially causing trouble. But before she walks away, Rin decides she can take her own suggestion and pulls out another piece of paper. After glancing to make sure no one is around, she disguises her own hand writing and scribbles a simple note.]

Thanks!

[It's super cheesy, and probably worth nothing, but hey It's less about thanking the scouting team despite what she's written there, and more about doing something nice for Chara and Sans. Maybe other people will add to it. She tacks it right next to the sign-up instructions, so anyone reading it might connect the two, then leaves.]

[miseris_socios]

I'm in. I've got healing and light-based abilities, so don't worry about it.

We can talk strategy when we meet up next, if you want.

[heritrix]

Do you? That's good. I want at least two medics or healers for our party, so that covers that base.

I assume by that you mean you want on my team, at least.

[openupclub]

Oh! I've worked with Zuko before on the last expedition. I can go on that one. Ah - if you still need people, that is!

[heritrix]

Of course. That's the whole point of asking, right?

[phoenixstrut]

[She hesitates, but ultimately ends up sending:]

I'm new here, but I would like to help. I've got fire, Light, and Healing in my side.

[heritrix]

[Excellent. She's glad; if this keeps up, they should have enough healers for her to feel confident. That's one matter Rin has been most occupied with. Due to the nature of their summoning, she knew there'd be fighters aplenty, so she'd been more worried about having someone to fix them up if it's needed. According to what Chara's told her, light abilities are incredibly useful too, so that's another checkpoint.]

Don't worry about it. I'm new myself, so seniority is obviously not an issue.

[parasolspinning]

I would be willing to join the second team if there's any room for me.

[heritrix]

We're shooting for teams of 6 or so. Nami's team still has plenty of room, as far as I know, so I'll note you down.

[majestygate]

I have some light-based Artes that have proved useful against the shadows. Could I possibly join the third team?

[heritrix]

Unless Rob has an issue with it, I don't see why not. That sort of skill-set would be a boon.

[your_best_friend]

Puzzles and fighting? Golly, I'm extremely good at diong both! I've solved many, many puzzles and I've had a thousand years to hone my fighting skills. Why not sign little old me up~?

[heritrix]

[A thousand years? Well, if they're not needlessly joking, that's pretty impressive.]

Thank you. Consider it done.
Do you have a preference for who you want to work with? If not, I can assign you at random.

[mostcolorfulepithets]

oh! can i come? im really curious to see what the other places of this castle are and what they have. i have a gun and i know how to use it please met me come

[heritrix]

This isn't a field trip. If you just want to look, there will be time for that later.

[This isn't a no, Rin's just wondering if this person (pony, though she can't tell) really gets what this is for.]

[hollower]

[Well, this is interesting. A push to explore new boundaries of the castle? Perona is definitely fascinated, but what really catches her eye is the name of one of the leaders. Huh...so the Pirate Woman and famed Cat Burglar is leading the charge? That's hilarious, and Perona's more than tickled to see how strong this woman really is. Perhaps the others in the castle will join in, too... Call it a quiet curiosity. These people were strong enough to take down Moria, and wreck havoc on Sabaody... Hell, and the events of Marineford aren't to be forgotten either, even if that was only Straw Hat himself.

Dangerous, especially if there'll be water (of course she's read the other responses first), but--]

I'd like to join the team going to the waterfall.

[heritrix]

Alright. May I have a name?

[villainsgonnavill]

Thinking reasonably's a skill of mine. Put down Cisco Ramon for... idk team 3? Guessing it doesn't make a huge difference.

[ Even if there's only mission control in his future, it's well past time for him to get his ass into solving gear. ]

[heritrix]

That's a very good asset to lead off with.
And not really, unless some teams get much less volunteers than others. Things are a-okay right now, and I'm not expecting that to change soon.

[Text]

[painful_finish]

I would like to volunteer. I am skilled in physical, cryas, and healing artes.

[heritrix]

[Oh, Artes. She thinks she's heard that term before.]

Like what Norma can do?
Thank you for your contribution. Hopefully there won't be a need for it, but it's smart to have healers just in case.

[Text]

[blastiaobsessieanonymous]

Sounds like a plan to me. Put me with, I dunno, Rob's team I guess.

[heritrix]

Alright, you're counted. Do you already know where your team will be going?

[Some people have been reading her responses to others, some she's not so sure about. But Zaveid's right, so she wants to make sure everyone's informed.]

[dancing_flames]

... count me in.

[He doesn't think he even needs to say which group he'd like to join, in part because he has a strong feeling that she would insist anyway.]

[heritrix]

[Aha, there you are. And whatever would make you think that, Shuda? It's not like she was just telling someone else you'd be included on her team whether you wanted to or not.]

You're late. I already marked you down.
