Notes from HQ

As many of you know, we are currently trying to organize a group event. Ingus-mun and I are working together on the planning, though he is in charge of the brunt of the organizing. Recently, he made this post which was then reblogged here on the HQ several days later.

The post regards our plans for events and did prompt members to send an ask to Ingus-mun. The members who have not replied have been tagged below. Please read the post and message Ingus-mun as soon as you get the chance.

Just to be clear, this is not a reprimand. We understand that members get busy. However for the sake of the convenience of the group, please make a point of checking in every few days for announcements. Members are only required to demonstrate activity every two weeks but checking in for messages more frequently than that would be greatly appreciated.

In order to be sure that you stay up to date on group news, be sure to track your own tag [i.e. faristaejin for Faris-mun, ceciltaejin for Cecil-mun, etc.] as well as the tag "Taejin Announcements" for group announcements.

Thank you.

-Faris-mun

Taejin Mission 031 Report

Mission No./Title: 031. Petal in the Wind Mission Rank: C Involved Participants: Cloud Strife (Ravager), Queen (Medic), Basch Fon Ronsenburg (Commando) Objective: Locate Soldier Basch Fon Ronsenburg and return him to Oerba. Location: Paddraean Archaeopolis

Outcome: The mission was a success. The commando Basch Fon Ronsenburg was saved and taken back to the clinic for his wounds to continue healing.

Debriefing: During the mission we encountered many injured creatures that were easily disposed of. As we got closer to Basch we encountered a Behemoth. While Cloud fought the Behemoth, Queen took a look at Basch’s wounds and began her healing. However the conditions weren’t safe, with the destruction that the fight between Cloud and the Behemoth was causing, so Basch was moved to a safer location until the Behemoth was taken care of. Thanks to the cooperation of Queen and Cloud, as well as Queen’s offensive skills, the two were able to defeat the Behemoth and return Basch to HQ safely.

Taejin Mission 035: Small Steps towards Bigger Dreams.

The afternoon sun blazed as Basch stepped out onto the training field. A small group, maybe 20 recruits, stood before him. "Tch, thanks Faris", he muttered to himself. She assigned him to training duties, something he wasn't looking forward to, but here he was anyway. Most of the recruits were ill-disciplined, he could tell from the way they stood there, and he wasn't happy with it. Taking his coat off, his armour shone in the sun.

"Stand up straight maggots, show some respect!" he roared. The recruits straightened up almost instantly, clearly in shock. "My name is Basch fon Ronsenburg, but on this training field you will address me as Captain, do I make myself clear? Form up in ranks, we have a lot of work to do" Surveying the troops in front of him, he was walking up and down the ranks when movement near the door caught his eye. "Nice of you to join us. What's your name soldier?"

Physical Therapy | Basch and Faris.

This is stupid, Basch thought to himself, pacing the length of his room. If I want to leave, I'm going to leave. Ever since he left Oerba and had been brought back by Cloud and Queen, he had been placed under duress by the Army. He peered out the window and counted 5 armed soldiers outside his room. With a sigh he turned around and retrieved his leathers from the trunk at the base of his bed. Getting dressed, he cursed and muttered under his breath, irritated that the army had confiscated his weapons, having labelled him as a liability. His mind raced with the events that had befallen him lately, ever since joining the Army at Oerba. "I need to clear my head" he muttered to himself, and headed to the door.

Upon opening the door, he was immediately surrounded by six soldiers, must've miscounted he thought to himself, with a grunt. One of the soldiers squeaked at him, his voice cracking, "I'm sorry sir, but we must ask you to return to your room. If you do not comply we will force you to return." Basch glared down at the young man and sighed. "You can try kid, I don't really want to hurt you. I'm going for a walk. You're welcome to follow if you want, but you aren't going to stop me from just taking a walk" and Basch started off towards the water.

Taejin Mission 031 : Petal in the Wind

His heart was pumping so loudly it felt like it was in his ears. He was panting, exhausted from the never-ending tide of combat it had been since he left Oerba. Blood stained his armour and he could barely see out of his helmet any more. He saw Aerith in his mind's eye, her soft smile would quell the wildest storm. But a deep howl from a pair of nearby Uridimmu roused him from his stupor.

The pair charged at Basch, both lunging at him in an attempt to bring him to the ground. With a roar, Basch brought his shield up to block the beast, which connected with a resounding thud and it fell to the ground dazed. The other Uridimmu met it's end on his sword, which Basch put in the path of the beast to. He watched the creature vainly attempted to return to it's feet but it collapsed with a whimper. Turning to the other Uridimmu, he knelt down and forced his knee squarely onto it's stomach, pinning it to the ground. With a roar, he broke the beast's neck, which crumbled with a sickening crack.

Tossing the pair of creatures aside, he removed his helmet and surveyed the area around him. Lifeless corpses surrounded him; spooks, goblins, stalkers and wolves. The ground was red with blood, and his armour had blood caking on it as well, drying in the dying sun of the afternoon. "Why?" He shouted to the mountains, "Why am I still alive?!" Pointing his sword to the clouds, another wave of tears overcame him, "Is this what you wanted Gabranth?! For me to live and suffer like this? Why does everyone I care about die?!" A loud roar answered him, resounding from the distance, and Basch froze with fear. "Is that... what I think it is?"

Ooc; I understand this is a little macabre, but I think it explains how hurt Basch is... The 'loud roar' in the distance is going to be the Behemoth King, so it hasn't appeared yet.. He knows it's coming though.

Click the link for the tournament bracket!

Contact the soldier with whom you're competing in Round One. (Tidus is on vacation until the 29th.) How you decide the winner is up to you: You can both write spontaneously and figure out a winner as the battle goes on, or you can decide from the start, or you can let us decide (by random number process--can you tell we like our random numbers?).

Battles will take place in the Town Square (not on headquarters). Remember, soldiers should not compete to kill. When a soldier feels he cannot go on, he should surrender the fight, and the other competitor must respect that decision and cease fighting. 

Besides the rule above, we're not imposing any other strict rules; we wanted this tournament to be a fun chance for soldiers to actually fight each others (and not just monsters). Just as long as competitors are on the same page with any additional rules they decide, we'll be okay with it. Whether you want your match to be a contest of evasion ('first hit wins'), strength ('first disarm wins'), or overall strategy is up to the competitors.

When a winner has been decided, message the Admin. We will update and repost the bracket as winners are decided.

Once your opponent has been decided, you may start the next round. Continue the above process until there is a winner!

How was this bracket decided? Names were first ordered alphabetically and then assigned a number. Then, we used a random sequence generator to pair up numbers (thus, names) together. Thus is the result!

Be sure to message us if any problems arise or if you have any questions. Also message us if you're still interested in competing but forgot to sign up, and we'll create a new bracket. 

Have fun!
