Has... anyone seen Vincent? Is it true the moron dropped into a hole?!

Private, Semi hackable

End of the world, huh. Feels familiar, somehow. ...A Weapon? Jade? Materia? It's all so... murky...

[OOC: After this - hiatus until May 24.]

[Locked to people who know him. Aka anyone who's talked to him before.]

He's gone.
Can't be gone. He's gone he's gone he's gone he

can't be gone.

...

... He can, can't he? Because we're trapped in this filthy Midgar replica getting our minds eaten away and this is just another way to get to us, right? Because things were just working out and oh it was going too well, wasn't it? And one of those gods decided okay let's just screw with them a bit more, right?!

Want it to stop. Want it to end. Want some damn stability, not here one day dead the next gone the next.

Has to be a way.


Duke. Where the hell are you.

And Lazard. Lazard where are you.

So this Shinra Company.

...


...


Film business, right? Funny thing, I remember being the actor more than I remember being the Director. Unless I was one of those hands on types?

[OOC: Strikes = private, hackable]

ETA: [Screened from Rikku]

Can anyone help me translate a sentence from Al Bhed?

ETA2: [Private to Vincent and Duke]

Going out on Sunday night. Have a date. Don't wait up.

ETA3: [Screened from Vincent]

... Does anyone sell flowers around here? Or can you pick them? I don't think any grow around here.

[OOC: Jumping the gun a bit - still not recovered from plagues, but w/e. So Veld did the dying thing. And he's been going through his journal, so he has some sort of clue, but mostly he has a lot of ouchies. He's probably at, uh, Duke's place.]

So I caught the plague. brb dying mini hiatus kthx x_x

I'll be back in a few days hopefully. \o/ Or dead in a ditch.


Anyway, in more important news -

( OOC plot notes )

Private to Rufus (theheirshinra) and Turks (including duplicate Elena)

[Voice post]

President,

Another Elena has turned up, and requested membership within the Turks. I commend her to you--

[There's been the click of a mouse in the background, like someone's been multi-tasknig. Checking the journals maybe. Another pause, the kind of pause that's someone listening intently to something else. The calm before the storm.

Another mouseclick, vicious. The silence that follows this is anything but calm, and the mouseclicks that occasionally punctuate it echo like gunshots.]

...Another matter. It appears that Duke has, intend, turned traitor and attacked one of our own.

[There's a tremor in Veld's voice that comes of someone reining in his temper with all his might. The chair scrapes back, and there's a metallic clink as Veld grabs his gun.]

I'm going to track him down and attempt to retrieve Valentine. Rude and Tseng, you have the helm in my absence.

[End post]

[OOC: Referencing this and this. Without going into spoilers yet, it's going to end up vicious, and violent, and a lot of people are going to get killed. If any Turks would like to join Veld - let me know - but I'm thinking that he'd only take a few. First come first serve?]

Private to Turks

Leave is granted to all persons who requested time out to attend the ball.

The rest - duties as normal. Refer to [insert schedule here] for escort detail for the President. Security levels are raised to amber.

Private to Elena (not dupli), Tseng (and whoever else volunteered! My memory is fail)

The mission to mingle and gather information is also on. Good luck.

Private to Turks + Rufus // Unhackable

[OOC: Lemme know OOCly if this is wrong and I'll update!]

Results of the Wesker training mission are in. The only Turks that succeeded without loss of life were Vincent and myself and that bastard Duke. However, well done to the Turks who succeeded in 'rescuing' the President, albeit at a heavy price - Elena, [OOC: Ken? and any others?]. Try not to get killed during the real thing - you're no use to us dead. Or less use, anyway, since people don't stay dead here.

This should serve to reinforce the point that there are enemies in Purgatorium that we cannot tackle alone, especially in hostage situations. We have partners for a reason. As an observation, I am disappointed to note that all of the junior Turks opted to fly solo on this mission. Whether or not there is a rule of engagement saying "no partners", such rules are meant to be broken. We don't play by rules; we play to win. At all costs.

Otherwise, I'm pleased to note that your combat scores were above average on this run. For those on medical leave, I expect you to be back on your feet ASAP. I would also like a brief report on your performance, what you think you did wrong, etcetc. The standard. Let me know if you're unable to deliver a report for medical reasons and I'll debrief you in person. I trust that all of you have a better idea of Wesker's strengths and abilities. I definitely want to know more about those in case we have to meet him again. Under less ... friendly circumstances.

Since this is the first livefire mission, I won't belabour the point, but I look forward to better results in the future. The Turks are a unit; I expect all of you to start acting like one.

( OOC )

If anyone needs me, I'll be at the firing range.

Private // Unhackable

I knew it.

Little bastard never showed up at HQ. Either he's deliberately disappeared, or Duke's gotten him. Figures. Stalking the crazy foreign bastard for that long without getting him... Duke was probably onto him the whole time. Bloody hell.


Private to Jisella, Julian and Amarissa, Visible to Rufus and Rude

Jisella, Julian -

Jericho's gone missing. Last sighted near the river. I need you to go look for him.

Private to Rufus

Sir, do you plan on attending the spring ball?

Also, regarding Jericho - I issued a recall order which he either ignored or was unable to comply with. Right now, I'm banking on the latter. I've dispatched Jisella and Julian to locate him, but chances are 10 to 1 he's with Duke. If the stupid little shit he isn't dead.

Private to Turks

I know some of you are making plans to attend the ball; please clear them with me before you go. Barring accident, and depending on the President's plans, we should be able to spare a number of you, but not all.

...What did I miss.

[OOC: And Veld would be reappearing in the office this morning, bloodstains on his shirt and jacket and decidedly furious, dragging one tsengly behind him by the collar of his jacket. He was shot. And killed. Accidently. By a trigger happy Sing carrying out a kill on sight order that's somewhat outdated. However, both of them are most adamantly not saying anything, and there were no observers, so it didn't happen it's not going to be common knowledge.)

Log is in progress. As for memories, he's forgotten Elfe / Felicia's survival. He still remembers leaving Shinra, but he doesn't know why.]

Turks? If I catch any of you getting involved in pranks while on duty, your ass is grass you can continue scrubbing the corridors of HQ with a toothbrush. Rod didn't finish the whole building, after all.

[OOC: This is the last post before Veld does an overnight vanishing thing. See here.]

Private to Turks, - Val + Rufus

Multiple deaths and the escape of Joker from captivity have been reported. Threat level has been upgraded to red.

All Turks except those specifically out on assignment are to return to Shinra HQ immediately. Secure the building. Make sure the President is safe.

[OOC:
I'm a bit worried that people Turks are getting a bit bored around here, so if any of you would like to plot, or would like more random missions, do drop me a note here or on AIM (ethanus)! I don't have capacity for additional logs at the moment, but if there are enough people who are interested in a mission, we can plot up something! There are always missions to pack people off on. :D ]

OOC - Still think I need another day or so of hiatus, but please assume that all posts addressed to Veld have been read and noted, particularly in conjunction with the investigation surrounding Marron. I may need an OOC update at some point.

Short term hiatus. Back in a few days.

( Private to Rufus // unhackable )

[OOC Note to Turks]
Ok, I've tried this for about a week and found it more or less impossible to be on the ball for everything, and after falling sick once from sheer exhaustion, I'm hesitant to try again 8D. So we're just going to have to assume that routine things go on ticking as normal, reports get filed as required, and maybe things like suitable exclaimations of wtfbbq have been made over gender bending Turks, so that I can give more time and attention to the five billion subplots that are currently running around. ♥

Especially since I'm totally spamming ur f-lists with the number of posts.

Also, if anyone has any Elfe icons to pass along, I'd love you forever? I simply don't have time to go find/make some.
