Ren Report 1

[hyperpsyche.livejournal.com]

Okay guys, based on what I found, I’ve put together a sort of to-do list of preparations we need to make before we try to bring Radiant Garden back. This isn’t about the ritual itself—we’ll discuss that a little further down the road. But for now, here’s what we need to do…

Part One: We need to decide where we’re going to do this. This is going to take a ton of people working together to pull off, so it needs to have enough room for everyone to be comfortable.

Part Two: Here’s where we start assigning specific roles.
Aerith—you’re the one with the closest connection to Radiant Garden’s Heart. When we do this, we’re going to need you there to call it back.
Kairi—Radiant Garden is just as much your home as are the Destiny Islands. Also, you and the other Princesses of Heart command a great deal of Light. That’s going to be a vital asset for what we’ve got planned.
Yen Sid, Merlin—your knowledge of magic is invaluable here, especially regarding how a world is constructed and what holds it together. Any other powerful mages are also invited to help out here.
The Keybearers—the many worlds you’ve seen, including Radiant Garden, have left impressions of themselves on your Keyblades. Their connection to the Heart of all worlds—Kingdom Hearts—will help channel the gathered fragments of Radiant Garden together during the ritual.

Part Three: Put together a list of all the worlds the survivors were sent to. We need to track them down and get their help. We need as many people who called Radiant Garden home, as many individual sources of Light, as possible for this to work.

Part Four: There’s a list of, for lack of a better term, spell components that we need to collect. Yep, it’s Fetch Quest time—anyone surprised? There’s ten in all, each one corresponding to an element of magic (Fire, Blizzard, Thunder, Cure, Gravity, Stop, Aero, Magnet, Reflect, Holy), and they’re going to take a fair amount of effort to collect. Talk to me (via the comm or in person, whichever one you can, though in person is probably a better idea if at all possible) if you’re interested in volunteering to go get one.

With everyone’s cooperation, we should, theoretically, be able to make this work. HOWEVER, this is pretty much uncharted territory we’d be heading into, guys. Who knows what could happen along the way. The only thing I know for sure is that it’s not going to be easy. That said… I seriously think we can do this.

So, who’s with me?

(OOC: In order to sign up for collecting a crystal for Part Four, please comment on the State Of The Game post below. You can IC-ly tell me about it here or just handwave it, whichever you like, but make it official on the nice, shiny modpost. Thanks, guys!)

I guess helping with this is better use of my time than resisting the urge to strangle a wizard. >.>;;

[hyperpsyche.livejournal.com]

Yeah, probably. I mean, you can do that anytime, right? :D;

[ariakitsune.livejournal.com]

Heh, yeah.

I guess I can start by looking for survivors. I'll come talk to you in person about the spell components before I leave.

[hyperpsyche.livejournal.com]

All right, great! I've got the list of them right here, so I'll be waiting.

I really appreciate the help, Aria. Thank you.

[ariakitsune.livejournal.com]

No need to thank me. I miss Radiant Garden too.

[fox_the_kitsune]

Any ideas where these spell components might be or are we going to have to do a little world combing?

[ariakitsune.livejournal.com]

Now I'm picturing the scene in Spaceballs where they're literally combing the desert.

[fox_the_kitsune]

You are an evil, evil little creature...

[hyperpsyche.livejournal.com]

I have a few guesses, but unfortunately, any actual clues are maddeningly vague. And we don't have an online walkthrough we can consult, either.

[fox_the_kitsune]

Combing it is then, at least for the ones we don't have clues for.

[hyperpsyche.livejournal.com]

^^; Sorry about that.

[fox_the_kitsune]

Nah, it's okay. It's kind of to be expected since what we're doing is kind of unprecedented...

[shaderic.livejournal.com]

Well, good luck with that. I'd offer to help, but unless one of the pieces is at McGowan AFB, there's not a lot I can do.

((McGowan doesn't actually exist. For the sake of the game, it's where Shad's posted.))

[hyperpsyche.livejournal.com]

Well, that's pretty doubtful... don't worry about it, though. You keep doing what you need to do. Things will work out the way they're supposed to.

[shadowchaser.livejournal.com]

Jalen & I will help.

[hyperpsyche.livejournal.com]

Awesome. I'll fill you in on what I know so far about the spell components (which isn't all that much, but is better than nothing, I hope.)

[shadowchaser.livejournal.com]

Any information is helpful. ^^

[songbird9.livejournal.com]

I'll try to help you out, Amykins.

It's a busy month. Feels good to be doing so much.

[shadowchaser.livejournal.com]

Amykins. *facepalm* You've amused Jalen though. He's telling Eli how entertaining you are. 'Course, the kid cares more about his applesauce at the moment. ^^;

[sharagran.livejournal.com]

I'll volunteer as well, and could take one person with me if needed.

[hyperpsyche.livejournal.com]

Awesome! Okay, let me get you a rundown of the elements, and you can pick whichever one you want to go look for from there, kay?

(OOC: Obviously, this rundown is handwaved thanks to the existence of the modposts. Go see them for more details.)
