Event End

[the-overseers.livejournal.com]

Man, you other Gensokyo people are really weak. Hard to believe you're apparently our ancestors. Getting freaked out over a few ghosts? Pathetic.

Anyway, Minato and Arche, you win! Our technicians are developing your spell disks based on your combat data as we speak, and we'd be happy to install the system for a modest fee. Same goes for Ran, Remilia, Sakuya and Jin, Ran and Remilia will have half their spell cards converted and Sakuya and Jin will just get the spell disks.

Anyway, I'm hauling the old man out before he impregnates too many people. It's been fun, ciao!

[Minato, Arche, Ran, Remilia, Sakuya and Jin all gain access to a Spell Disk system. Spell disk systems are cyberware, they are installed directly into your hand and, once installed, cannot be removed. While the spell disk system is a powerful fusion of magic and technology, your inherent abilities WILL be reduced due to losing part of your basic humanity (or whatever-ity) by implanting the cyberware. In non-powered worlds, your hands will generally appear somewhat injured or even prosthetic, and the cyberware does generally feel unnatural and uncomfortable. You get used to it.

On the other hand, the spell disk system does have some perks. The spell-disk system has two built-in disk drives, one attached to each hand. Each drive can be primed with up to 6 disks that can be rapidly switched between via vocal command, and up to two disks can be activated at a time. Furthermore, the danmaku and spell-disk patterns can be adjusted for quantity, with the settings "light, moderate, dense, and overdrive." The drives recharge spell-disks during the course of battle, and spell disks can be prematurely canceled to retain some charge, as well as partially retain charges in the event of spell-break. Depending on the setting the disk's pattern can last longer, and the settings can even be changed on the fly to surprise or corner an opponent.

If you wish to have the spell disks installed, reply here. You may also respond ICly, if you wish.]

The simulation chamber tonight is beautiful, actually: a gorgeous full moon bathes the simulation of the Hakurei shrine in a quiet light. The artwork done for the place is fairly impressive; Ran would have to give her compliments to Deimonea at some point, but that wasn't why she was here.

She stands at the Torii gate, the disks in her hands. They'd given her the system, but when she found out the conditions for their use, she had refused installation. Magic was a natural thing, not something to be contained by technology, and certainly she would not sully herself with such a thing. She'd been mocked for it, but she didn't care. This... this image represented the real Gensokyo, the one she loved. The one she had fought in was a twisted mockery, and to see the Hakurei maidens in such a state...

She swallows. Mulls if her Lady would allow her to make a donation, just a little one. Ran knows for a fact now: she will guard Gensokyo as if her life depended on it.

She snaps the discs. She doesn't want to study them, doesn't want to see her spells tainted like that.

The evening, though simulated, is inviting. Feel free to join her.

Announcements and Activity Check

[the-overseers.livejournal.com]

With the end of this event, it's time for some announcements.

Firstly, we have added descriptions and generally expanded the rank list on the promotion page. There are now two more positions open, the Special Task Unit, which is available to any Enforcer, and the Undercouncilor, available to Special Task Unit Enforcers.

Also, we are, as of now, allowing people to expand their character slots.

During an activity check cycle, if you make double the required activity in either two separate threads, two separate posts, or a post and a thread with all five of your characters, and you can gain one additional slot. This can be repeated every activity cycle indefinitely, so long as you can maintain activity with your characters. Should you not be attempting for more slots, you aren't required to meet more than the minimum one thread or post per activity check, no matter how many characters you may have.

And speaking of activity checks...

You must comment here with your activity or it will not be counted. Posts or comment threads made after this post may, of course, be used to meet the activity requirements. You have one week to post your activity. Starting now we are also making it an official rule that being on hiatus will exempt you from one activity check, so all players currently on hiatus will be exempt from this one activity check (if you need a further exemption, you may contact the mods and request it, but we will never extend it past two activity checks).

Posts must have been made no earlier than July 3rd to be counted.

[Being fresh new, the first thing to do would be to become familiar with the agency HQ. So this is what Suzu would be doing; a map in hand, she'll be taking a walk around the entire premise. She'll be glancing down at it every once in a while, and to any veteran, definitely give off a newbie air - that or a tourist, though she's mostly keeping to herself and isn't bothering anyone in what they're doing.

She's still dressed exactly as she has been when she first discovered the portal, though; in full modest ninja gear. Unfortunately, maroon is only subtle when you're in a forest; among buildings, it would probably stand out. ...She has, however, seen some rather uniquely-dressed individuals ever since her arrival, so blending in fell out of her concern after a while - especially considering that there was yet any reason to believe that this place may become hostile instantly.

...Not yet, anyway.

Bother the little girl?]

[Guess who's been sitting out on all of the summer festivities. This is somewhat understandable due to High Charity's complete lack of weather, let alone seasons, but the fact of the matter was that the Prophet of Truth thought that even the tedious politics of home were preferable to socializing. But chores could not be postponed forever.]

Employees of Confuto Ordinatio, I offer my apologies for a belated introduction. As a representative for many of you, lack of communication is a problem to be fixed immediately. I am Councilor Truth of one of the more recently identified worlds, and am set to work immediately.

If any introductions are to be made, make them now.

The Second Holy War -- Ascension

[herbrotherslove.livejournal.com]

I believe I've made mention of this to several of you in the past, but I've been meaning to apply for a promotion to the status of Enforcer for some time now.  I'd been thinking of it even before my . . . hiatus from field work here, if my journal is anything to go by.  And after my time spent in my own world, I truly believe my talents could be put to better use in such a position.  Even moreso as I don't intend to have to return to my homeworld duties in the near future.

So I, ah.  Did so.  I was deemed acceptable.

I'll be moving into Room 304 in the Enforcer Apartments with an 'Enforcer Flonne' in the near future.  Namine, I apologize for leaving you so quickly after our meeting, but I assure you, you were wonderful company.  As for the rest of you, I hope this doesn't change anything between us -- It's nothing more than an extra title tacked on to my name.  If you weren't intimidated by the ones I had before, certainly, there's no need to feel otherwise now.

 . . . Ah, yes.  I could also use some assistance moving my belongings.  There isn't much but what there is happens to be . . . fairly heavy.

[filtered to Lyle]
And of course, I hope this doesn't change any potential vacation plans that may have been in the progress.  Nor shopping sprees, for that matter.

Intro Post

[syndicatedblade.livejournal.com]

Greetings, agents and staff of Confuto Ordinatio.

I am Enforcer Tsurugi, of world-YT.

I am looking forward to working with you in the name of world stability.

[Private to Estelle]

Erm, pardon me, Enforcer Heurassein? We may need to discuss room arrangements a little, due to some... Possible unusual circumstances.

[Private to self]

Testing privacy functionality...

It seems I'll be having to keep a lot more secrets. This could prove... Challenging for optimal work with the Science Division.

I still have to verify that my suspicions are accurate, as well...

Housing Expansion Announcement

[the-overseers.livejournal.com]

Confuto Ordinatio is pleased to report that it has finished another two floors of Councilor Penthouses, just in time for the new arrivals.

Also, due to a bill proposed by Enforcer Ky Kisuke, Confuto Ordinatio has expanded the Enforcer Apartments by one floor. Due to budget cuts, the rooms are a bit smaller than normal, but on the plus side we were able to fit twice the amount of apartments that we normally would be able to.

[As announced, new floors. The economy size Enforcer dorms on floor 4 are half the normal size, so they're fairly cramped.]

Nice going, Ky.
