[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.

His name is Shuda. He got here around the same time we did.

[He and Ken might live on the same floor, actually.]

His clothes are terrible and he looks like a trashy hobo, but he's not that bad once you get to know him. [Sometimes, he reminds her of Archer.] Seems like a strong fighter, too.

[miseris_socios]

He doesn't sound familiar... but if you want to vouch for him I don't have a problem with it.

[Trashy hobo, huh? Sounds like Shinjiro.]

I don't really know a ton of people here... but I guess a lot of people here are fighters. I saw a lot of people had responded, at least.

[heritrix]

[He's one of very few people here Rin genuinely feels she can vouch, though maybe not as enthusiastically as she might have before the scouting mission. If it weren't for the comfortable business-like relationship she mentally sorts Ken into, she'd probably doubt her standing with him as well. But that's a depressing thing she doesn't want to think about here.]

Yeah. I'm rather pleased with the turnout. If everyone plays their part, this should produce good results.

[miseris_socios]

Yeah. And if they don't play their part, I guess... yell at them or something?

[The only thing he really led was the Bitty Brigade at the Tower, and most of those kids took orders surprisingly well.]

[heritrix]

I won't waste my breath. There won't be a second invite for them, however, that's for sure.

[Deep breath. This has been a lot of work.] Want to go over some routines? Besides our individual strengths, we should practice fighting alongside each other.

[Maybe get some combination attack ideas in mind.]

[miseris_socios]

Fine. I'll yell at them if they mess us up. Dying's not fun.

[But he nods. They're going to have to work together for this...]

Personas aren't really used for long-range fighting, so if you can cover that it might work well. I haven't noticed any with particularly thick armor, but I haven't gone really far.

[heritrix]

[Hehehe. She smirks, and points her finger like a gun (not at him, but to the side).]

If that's all, I have your back. [A swirling orb of black and red energy swells at her fingertip.] Unless they're enchanted like these walls, they won't stand a chance against me.

[miseris_socios]

Sounds good to me.

[He eyes that orb carefully. It... seems dangerous, but that's the idea, isn't it?]

I also have a weakness to darkness-based attacks, so depending what those things count as it might... hurt a lot.

[heritrix]

Hey, now. [She lets the gandr dissipate and puts her hands on her hips.] Don't imply I'm careless enough to accidentally shoot my own teammate. That's my aim you're insulting, and I'm a great shot.

[miseris_socios]

I meant whatever the Shadows use to attack, not your shots.

[But he managed to make her huffy again. He can't tell if that's him scoring a point or not.]
