[kaisoumods]

[As January carries on and the weather starts to get colder and colder, the phone will give a unique bell sound, and it will ring until they check their messages:

Looks like headquarters has sent out a new message:]

Refugees from a besiged moon
Crashed into a frozen lagoon
Darkness inside this craft spread
Until of life there was not a shred
Demonic forms continue to escape
Forming this land a frightful shape
Together you must find a solution
To allow this land some resolution

[OOC: This is your mission for January! Black Order players can choose how they'd like to go about handling the Ark of Yamato, with more information about it coming in tomorrow's log.]

Hm.

Perhaps I should move.

The same bear that is snoozing behind him don't mind her.]

I'm back bitches

Heya, stranger.

[loupmorque]

Welcome back, Ash. I'm not quite sure to the reason why you left in the first place, but I promise your second attempt here will be a lot less stressful than it was.

Thaaat's my hope, anyway.
I've seen you around the network but I'm not sure we've been properly introduced.
My name is Wriothesley, but you can just call me 'The Duke', or 'Your Grace'. I know it's a bit much.

[oh, he knows this one it's a meme the university people use. that's funny.]

Haha! That is certainly a way to announce your presence. Allow me to extend a warm welcome back to you.

[Wherever anyone is, right now, Ayato has upsetting news to deliver, sorry!]

Headquarters has gotten back to me with results from the love potions we had sent in.

- Red Rose Petal
- Dryad Heart
- Basil
- Cinnamon
- Organic Matter (Human, unidentified)
- Spring Water
- Trace of divine energy

Needless to say, I'm going to need people to be diligent and on alert for any information they may find regarding this in the future.

[ALL OF THIS IS TERRIBLE AND HE HATES IT.]

[switchaxe]

thanks I hate it. what the fuck

un: luciferskylight

[scourgingstars]

Love a couple rounds of 'which of these is the most objectionable'.


Basil, really?

Text | UN: Lian602

[ruoyel]

Human's have used parts of themselves to make love potions for centuries, but the fact that they can only identify it as human organic matter and nothing more specific is a great cause for concern. That means we may not be dealing with the usual components.

As for the trace of divine energy, I suppose that's not too surprising that we don't have more than that. If I was forced to guess, perhaps it's a love deity of some kind. They typically have overlapping domains of obsession and desire.

un: Lia

[blossominghopes]

1. Is the dryad heart part normal? If so: what the fuck.
2. I hate that the human organic matter is unidentified. Leaving it at that.
3. What the fuck do you mean divine energy.

[Hi, she hates all of this.]

[blueeyeswhitedoppelganger]

[Heyyyy that's disgusting and he's going to have Such a talk with his mom after this holy fuck]

Not to make this worse, but is there any way to tell if of these are from the same source?

[There are very few things that could be from the same source, but it Does make a difference of...Maybe??? Pinning down what and who they're looking for to shut this down?]

Text | UN: Kinich

[quit_ur_kiniching]

[This might be a familiar name to some here. For better or worse!]

Kinich reporting in. Albarea should've sent over my contract details, but he said there might be a delay.

I've been briefed on some of the mission details. However, I'd like to hear it directly if anyone has time. I've heard that Kaisou is unusually active, and that the love potion mission wasn't typical.

[... Right, some people in this team might not know him.]

For those who don't know me, I'm Iktan Kinich Mendoza Franco, a senior Guardian and technically retired military. Just call me Kinich. You may notice that I act... out of character at times. That would be the entity possessing me, Junjaw. Please pay him no mind. If you would rather avoid him, simply text me. He hasn't figured out how to do that in all this time, and I don't care to educate him on the matter.

[There's some angry reptile screaming in his head for that, but Kinich simply ignores him.]

[switchaxe]

oh look it's the fuckass lizard and the poor fuck stuck with him

(it's Cabbot. I'm back in the Order)

un: Lia

[blossominghopes]

Hi, I'm Lia. I'm new. Excited to be working with you!

As for the love potion mission... I'll leave the full report to someone who knows more about what is and isn't typical, but the potion was shipped here from somewhere else, and all we got from some of the folks selling is it was devised by someone they only called "H". We, uh, didn't get much more before one of them chugged a different potion and became a berserk flame bear of unusual size.

And uh, analysis of the potion turned up some disturbing results, namely traces of divine energy.

text | un: tonics

[medicines]

Welcome, Kinich! I'm Thera, the team medic, so never hesitate to let me know if you need anything. Both yourself and Junjaw.

[ Caring for the team means looking after fellow possessed too. ]

Regarding the potion... Most of the components are typical of a love potion (dryad heart, traces of organic material and basil not withstanding depending on who you ask) but the main concern is the traces of divinity found in it. It was shipped from an outside source named 'H' but at the moment we have no further leads beyond that. Another concern is the almost addictive properties of it, along with how detached the victims were - rambling at times, or if they had monster features, would act far more aggressive.

I'm monitoring things in the Underground at the moment in the event something similar appears, I doubt this will be the last time we hear of this 'H' person.

[sacredashes]

Asch checking in. Whoever is in charge should receive the paperwork soon if they haven't already. My specialties are infiltration and neutralization. Like everyone else, I'm here as another warm body just in case the city falls into a hole a... third time.

If you still have cleanup to do from last month I'll take it. [Hey, can't fault his work ethic.] Otherwise, they didn't deploy me with anything urgent to do. I'm waiting on orders like you.

I won't sugar-coat this: I work better alone, so I'm not interested in your weekly game of trivia or whatever it is you do here. I have my own things to take care of. No offense.

[... shame about his personality.]

Signing off.

text | un: kissmyash

[switchaxe]

"whatever it is you do here" you mean bitch about the bullshit?

un: Lia

[blossominghopes]

I think we're mostly just on alert for whatever nonsense this month throws at us.

Anyway, welcome to the Kaisou team! I'm Lia, one of the recent(-ish) recruits.

Even if you work better alone, let us know if there's anything you need!

Text | UN: Kinich

[quit_ur_kiniching]

[Ah. The kid who got adopted by one of the most suspicious people in The Order, and that's saying a lot.]

If by "I work better alone" you mean "I will rush in and get myself injured with perhaps some minor to major collateral damage along the way," then sure. Otherwise, you should have a partner with you.

Currently, there's been highly dangerous tears opening up outside of the barrier. I've been commissioned to collect materials from them, but they have been endangering innocent civilians due to them being infested with highly aggressive monsters. They're resistant to normal weapons, so plan to bring magic.

[myblacksorrow]

Allow me to introduce myself for those who don't know me. Well met, everyone, this is Ivan reporting. I have been with the order since I was young, with a specialization in stealth and extraction. Pleased to meet all of you, or see you again.

Should anyone need help, I'll be around. I took the liberty of checking out the fae situation from a safe distance, but they seem to be having harmless fun. A little Shakespeare in The Park never hurt anyone.

text | un; The Duke

[loupmorque]

Well met, Ivan. I'm Wriothesley, but you can just call me Duke.

As for the fae situation, well...
Perhaps it is just a little "harmless fun," but as someome who loathes being on stage...

I'd have been happier being left out of their shenanigans this time.

[As April begins with peaceful weather, the phone will give a unique bell sound, and it will ring until they check their messages:

Looks like headquarters has sent out a new message:]

Singing Ore
It should be abhor
Madness. Pain.
Only desired by those insane

H seeks this forbidden ore
Stop them from winning before
It causes pain once more

[OOC: This is your mission for April! Black Order players can choose how they'd like to go about handling the mission, with more information about it coming in the black order chat]
