FUTUROLOGY OOC.

as you might have noticed, Jhin and Peter have made the promise to throw together a team-building event for all of Audentes to utilize and get a little closer! while icly this will happen tomorrow because i have been too gotdang busy to write up an event post this weekend, here is a quick plotting post for everyone to get wheels turning!

MEETING & GREETING.
First part of the event is a mixer of sorts, with food and drink (with more range than meat and milk) provided, and team members left to their own devices to talk and make merry. Introductions can be made, conversations can be had, and if that isn't helping characters to get to know each other, some cards with random suggestions will be at hand. This would be the time to make introductions and get to know each other a little better for the more rigorous team building to come!

TEAM EXERCISES.
After Audentes has mingled thoroughly, they'll move on to the team exercises. Some of them are pretty classic, like trust falls — though superpowered characters are welcome and expected to up the ante, because it wouldn't be fun if they didn't. There will also be logic puzzles, team-oriented games and activities, and general activities that enable and require cooperation. I'll have a list provided on the post, but feel free to make up your own activities, too!

CAPTURE THE FLAG.
Last but not least, the team will take advantage of all the team they've managed to build by testing their trust in the field! Peter will have one team and Jhin will take the other, and flags will be scattered through Terra Felis, and the team to secure all the flags first will win! To allow for as much flexibility with tagging as possible, characters can steal back their own flags as well as capture the opponents, so there's no need to track who has how many flags or worry about the count while tagging commences.

The rules are limited but are basically this:

#1. No excessive force. If anyone gets hurt, Peter especially will probably disqualify them. Jhin... we will see.
#2. Powers are allowed. The only exception to this rule is that it's not allowed to teleport the flags, they need to be captured by hand.
#3. Try not to disturb the natives. Nobody wants to go to jail for disturbing the kitty peace... though the flags are scattered all over and it might be easier said than done.
#4. Only one flag can be carried at a time. Again, this is to prevent anyone from just zipping and stealing them all and ending the game in one fell swoop.

SCAVENGER HUNT

For teams of two, each team can search for the below items. They will need to use their magitek to photograph the items that can't be taken with them. The team with the most items found will win a small prize! (All teams will win a prize, but the team with the most gets bragging rights. Prizes will be small trinkets sourced from throughout the city, and of little more than sentimental value. Many will be fish themed, which has very little to do with where they came from...)

PICNIC

For those who've had enough activity for one day but don't want to leave the team building festivities just yet, blankets have been set up in prime position to watch some of the Capture the Flag shenanigans. There are desserts, and little cards with flowery pink writing on them that read "My blanket has some extra space, come sit with me!"


We'll use RNG to decide who "wins", but obviously it's not about "winning", it's about growing as a team!!

feel free to use this post to help plot! please also utilize the comments below to sign up for one team or the other, or to request to be randomized. we'll try to get the teams fairly evenly dispersed!
