EVENT #07: ASPHODEL CONSTRUCTION PROJECT PLANNING

The Corsairs have been mobilized and preparations are underway. As negotiators are dispatched to Vindess to prepare for the evacuation under Imperial noses, the crafters and suppliers set to work, preparing the new settlement and whatever airships can be spared for the evacuation. Some Corsairs have even taken it upon themselves to build or “liberate” more airships for the effort.

As always, when the goal is certain the Corsairs move as one. Together, they will see Asphodel completed. All hands are needed, the question is, where do you lend yours?

MISSIONS

Prepare Asphodel: Get the new settlement of Asphodel up and running to receive the refugees from Vindess.
Priority: Critical
Challenges: Corsairs will need to keep the settlement hidden while also making suitable housing and preparing farms and other amenities to sustain life. It will require a large amount of excavation to get in order, as well as construction of homes, furniture, and other facilities. The work will be backbreaking and the timetable is extremely aggressive.

Prepare Citizens for Evacuation: As the citizens of Vindess toil under Imperial lockdown, the Corsairs must prepare the entire population for evacuation.
Priority: Critical
Recommended Roles: Negotiators and Infiltrators
Challenges: Corsairs will need to convince the entire population to evacuate. There are a number of methods that can be employed, while many are going to be reluctant the Imperial crackdown has shaken the settlement and unease is high. There is evidence within the Imperial offices that Infiltrators can recover that show mass executions with lists of “dissidents” have been scheduled for April which the Corsairs might make use of if they choose to investigate. Other options include capturing potential dissidents and taking the entire willing population while executing or taking prisoner loyalists, or other methods the Corsairs determine for themselves to make this happen.


Acquire Airships: The Corsairs always need more airships, and moving an entire population will require heavy effort and can use as many ships as can be mustered.
Priority: Optional
Recommended Roles: All
Challenges: The Corsairs don’t have the major Ether Stones that serve as the airship engines and will need to either capture or salvage resources to increase the size of their fleet. While the Corsairs have been investigating airships that don’t require Ether stones, that research is still a distant dream, but some Corsairs may want to spend some time pushing that investigation along to see if they can make it a reality sooner rather than later.

some spoilers for the upcoming arc in the dandadan anime!

"Heh, you think?" She makes a determined fist. "It's nice to have a natural gift, but I'll keep working to raise my sister power to new heights."

Poor Donnie. Being small and misdirected probably isn't grounds for ceaseless torment, but life isn't fair, sometimes.

"Mhm. I mean, they all act differently, just like people. Usually like really traumatized, messed up people, so you never know what you're going to get. The human Evil Eye died when he was a little, and he spent his whole life locked up, so he'd have to watch all the other kids play without him. So that's his deal. Takakura came up with a way for him to play and have fun without causing too much trouble, but who knows when he'll ever be ready to pass on."

She pauses. "The original plan was to exorcise him, actually, but Enjoji begged Auntie Seiko not to go through with it. He's soft like that."

Speaking of. Aira's tone is mostly accepting, though. Her group back home might be full of soft boys, but that's still much better than having any macho jerks around.

*ceaseless opportunities to better himself, is what Aira means.

Shu listens with an ever-increasingly furrowed brow.

"...It is the lingering spirit of a child?" Her understanding of the situation had not yet stretched to encompass the natural boundaries of what a yokai might represent. "But that is heinous. To think that children would be abused to such an extent that their spirits would be bound. And yet -- I am not ignorant to the evils of the world. If any living thing dies under terrible circumstances, it lingers as a yokai? Then there must be thousands - tens of thousands across time. Is your world positively bedeviled with the spirits?"

[testygirl]

"They aren't, like, crawling all over the place? As far as I know. My guess is that it really does only happen to people with the most intense grudges and regrets and stuff, because you're right. So probably just the teeniest, tiniest percentage. It'd be really rotten luck."

She tosses out her shoulders, then gives Shu a glance.

"... Want to talk something else? I feel like it's a bummer to linger on some nasty topic when we don't have to."
