ROLE — NAVIGATOR 🧭


NAVIGATOR
welcome, crewmate SHOMA ENDA.
On SUNDAY, once the unfortunate procedures of ... "Execution" has gone over, Shoma will hear the familiar ping of the I.R.I.S. at his wrist; the moment that he lifts up his hand to check what the noise is for, a window immediately pops up. The projection fills in a spread of maroon, and a message sent only to their designation loads in the window.

There is no compulsion to obey the request, but it is an extension of knowledge, and curiosity - and could be interesting.
Shoma Enda,

Unfortunate and ill timing given what's just happened, but mayhaps this invitation can provide some insight into what's to come with these upcoming weeks. I wish I could have done this at a better time but it is a decision that must be made before our next travel destination.

Meet me here as soon as possible and I'll be sure to explain more thoroughly.
METIS
A location pops up on the I.R.I.S. once the message is read, and will indicate where Shoma needs to go to meet with Metis. It will lead to a command room in which only the Senior Crew is allowed access, and an important factor when it comes to navigation. When he gets there, he'll find the COS waiting patiently, observing a line of data and routes illuminated on a panel above the main control that vanishes once they spot Shoma. A brief ! displays on the visor of their helmet before they lead them towards a table for seating with a gesture, some snacks and drinks already prepared.

"Let's have a seat. Ready to go over the details?"

RULES
As the role responsible for navigation, along with information that is acquired, Shoma is expected to follow a few rules:

1. For now, keep your new designation a secret. This can be revisited at a later date. Should this designation be shared with anyone without prior authorization, consequences and termination of position are possible.
2. If you distribute any information acquired, it must be done anonymously or without referencing the source. This can be revisited at a later date.
3. As the Navigator, Shoma will be presented with two/three routes to take in order to reach the Eudora's next stop. Each route will come with a brief description, and Shoma may only choose one. No further details will be offered regarding the route until the following Monday, and each will have its own consequences to bear. If you choose not to act, then a choice will be made for you.
4. Additionally, Shoma may use this time to speak directly with Metis each week. They may ask questions, receive small hints, or simply chat with them, though any information received will be subject to Metis' own discretion.
5. Your findings will be given to you after your decision is made on Sunday, with results of the path chosen announced Monday morning with the new mingle post.

Yeah. [ bleh. ] Dirt, and this weird pain. [ a gesture to his head. ] That's...never happened before.
caretake: game. (★ the eternal winds throughout)

[personal profile] caretake 2024-04-01 12:48 am (UTC)(link)
That is... I imagine if you felt something like this before, you would have said something. So what was different this...

[ well we take a pause in this confusion to do memshare BEFORE I FCKING FORGET AGAIN, AND ALSO I NEED FOR MY OTHER TAG. here until 20:00 ]
solesuccess: (Quick - erase it)

[ he doesn't get to speculate because this is happening! all of this is happening, and for a moment he's very, very quiet while he just stares. ]

...Metis, do you want to...explain that a little more, or should I just make my own assumptions? [ bro your crystallization??? ]

[ Bats eyes innocently (no). Metis just looks at him, then sheepishly shrug his shoulders. ]

If it is the crystallizing you are referring to it, that would be because I am connected directly to that Crystal Tower. An important structure back home. The more its powers are used and overwhelmed, the more it affects me.
solesuccess: (Use it)

[personal profile] solesuccess 2024-04-02 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
A cause and effect. [ mumbled quietly to himself. ] Is it...I mean is it at all possible to disconnect from the Tower so it doesn't overwhelm you when it becomes overwhelmed itself? That makes it sound like you're the back-up battery.

[personal profile] caretake 2024-04-03 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
It is because of my bloodline I am capable of connecting to it begin with. To make use of its functions and protect those I care about.. even if it were possible - disconnecting is not something I want to do.

It is a fate I knew that I was doing going into it. [ It was his decision in the end. ]
solesuccess: (I don't feel attached to this name)

[personal profile] solesuccess 2024-04-04 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
...I was kind of hoping that wouldn't be your answer, but I think I knew it would be. [ man. ] Are you the last of your bloodline then? The only one who can, I mean.

[ the last line of defense. ]
caretake: (pic#16946130)

[personal profile] caretake 2024-04-07 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[ man ]

..That I am. I was the last child born with the Allagan Eye. So I am the only one.
solesuccess: (When I don't have an identity)

[personal profile] solesuccess 2024-04-07 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[ MAN INTENSIFIES. ]

Seems kind of like an unfair situation then. [ softly. obviously you're stuck if it's just you, but come on. ] What's the Allagan Eye though?
caretake: game. (★ tomorrow and tomorrow)

[personal profile] caretake 2024-04-08 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm, let us start from the beginning. [ Which he seems to have no trouble sharing. ] My ancestor, Desch, was entrusted with safekeeping the royal bloodline by Allag's princess Salina. Desch's descendants would occasionally be born with one red eye, the Allagan Eye, as a sign of this legacy.

[ A hand comes up to gesture to his red eyes. ] Thousands of years later, I was the last child born with the Allagan Eye. ...Some events unfolded in my younger days, but it allowed me full control of the Crystal Tower. Which was only made possible because of that bloodline.
solesuccess: (I'm trying - I'm trying)

[personal profile] solesuccess 2024-04-08 05:56 am (UTC)(link)
[ storytime. he doesn't seem to mind listening either, given he sits up a little taller and he's actively listening. ]

So...you're technically also royalty on top of being the defender of this magical tower? [ is this how final fantasy works. also he's not going to ask what those events are, because that sounds like "everyone died a lot" or "i got left alone" and he thinks it's rude to ask unprompted. ] What about if you had descendants, too?

[ what if peepaw simply had children. ] It sounds like not every descendant had a chance to be born with those eyes.
