[Taken from the June TDM, with some additions:]

Whether you've just arrived in the city or you've been here a while, and you have a sensitivity to the spiritual, magical, multidimensional, or anything else outside the realm of everyday normal, you've probably noticed a distinct uptick in weird feelings, strange nightmares, or daymares - hallucinations of scary things that are lurking just behind you.

You're not the only one who's noticed it.

There are rumors going around that the psychological and spiritual disturbances are due to the emergence or re-emergence of a deity. Some people say that it's something new that's come through the portal with the sharp increase in new arrivals recently, and others say it's simply an ancient spiritual presence or some ancient incorporeal monster that's been somehow awakened. Gramarye, the top-tier magic research center in Riverview Quarantine, has been studying anyone who's felt this presence, and have recently confirmed that whatever it is, it's being fed by all the extra energies and prayers and thoughts as the city's population increases. The one thing everyone agrees on is that, if the expanding community is feeding the entity, then the entity has got to go!

A scouting party recently travelled into the Abandoned City and forests outside the walls to search for leads or any other evidence of a way to solve the problem. After a day of searching, the team stumbled upon an abandoned temple. While it didn't seem like much, its exterior run-down and wood rotting amongst the centuries' old mulch and muck, it felt... unsettling. Alive, almost. One member of the party could feel a powerful presence emanating from it; realizing they were out of their depth, the team returned to the Quarantine to relay the information and obtain reinforcements.

Teams are now being assembled across the city to travel into the Abandoned City or the forests outside the walls and find this temple once more. The mission might be dangerous, though - there are the usual dangers of venturing out into the wilds, but this time, characters may also face booby traps, spectral or physical guardians, and if the entity itself gets awoken? Someone may have to kill it.

[So this log will be set up in 'stages'. The first few headers will be closed to each of the teams for initial travel meetings, camping, monster fights, etc. Feel free to post your own top-levels underneath and tag out, mingle, whatever you'd like. Headers for further 'stages' of the mission (such as once all the teams meet up at the temple/deity hideout) will also be posted so that teams can intermingle/have more CR.

Since there are so many people involved, consider this one big mingle thread in the vein of the TDMs. Here's a link to the google doc for those interested as well.]

Link approached Chloe decked out in his Sheikah armor and carrying a sword, shield, and bow on his back. A quiver full of arrows hung down below them, and his Sheikah Slate hung on his hip. He pulled his mask down to speak a little easier. Besides, it was a bit hot and he didn't need to cover up his face until they left. He gave her a wave and an excited smile.

"I don't know much about sleeping gods, but I've been scouting before." Scouting, killing monsters, exploring places people wouldn't normally dare to set foot. This was just a normal Tuesday for Link. "Are you nervous?"

Yuffie was crouched on the ground next to Chloe eyeing the creatures curiously. She was used to monsters and had no reservations about going through the hoard. Her fingers curled around a metal ring that was protruding from her back, pulling a thin glittering steel blade from its dark holster. With a flick of her wrist the blade snapped open, locking into a large shuriken the size of Yuffie's torso.

It was a little ridiculous.

"Yeah. You cover me with that gun. If you hit me I'll be pissed but I'll live so just keep shooting." Dark purple eyes looked over at Chloe looking uncharacteristically serious. Yuffie was a goofball at the best of times but there were too many creatures for her to joke now. "I'm going to split them in half. Let the others deal with the ones that aren't in front of us."

Her second hand curled into a fist where her ice materia was beginning to charge. Yuffie was an all or nothing kind of person which usually got her in trouble. At least this time she'd have back up.

Yuffie rolled her eyes. "You say that you won't miss but I move pretty fast." A smirk tugged at her lips before she jumped from their hiding place. Yuffie's movements were quick and precise. She through her arm up sending a glow of snowy blue magic forward. Ice speared up from the ground, snagged a handful of unfortunate creatures that found themselves caught in the middle of her spell.

Her boots landed lightly on the peek of one of the ice spears. They didn't have forever, ice melted and Yuffie was using her Materia to hold the spell for a few second longer than normal.

"Shoot!" She shouted as she flicked her Shurekin with her free hand. It sliced through one of the creatures jaws, not killing it but rendering it's bite useless.

Al's been up for a while, having decided to keep watch. He's used to long nights without sleep from the time he was armor, and though sleeping is a luxury he now has, he doesn't sleep too often. So he immediately notices when Chloe begins tossing and turning, pulled out of sleep by something he assumes isn't too pleasant. A nightmare, perhaps?

He quickly scoots closer, looking her over for anything that might give him a sign as to what's bothering her before tilting his head and giving her a sympathetic look.

"Brother gets nightmares sometimes too. Do you mind if I ask what it was?" he asks softly, not wanting to wake the others.

Al lets her have her moment to calm down and reorient herself. It's important to give people that space and time, something he knows from experience with his brother's nightmares, so he waits for her to explain and even gives her a small, encouraging smile.

The smile soon turns into a frown, however, as he hears her description of her dream. People standing around the temple can be either a good or a bad thing and he wishes Ed was with their group so he could bounce ideas off his brother. For now, he can only nod and concentrate on possibilities.

"It might be nothing. But if you're experiencing it when you're awake, maybe it's a warning. At least it's just people standing and not fighting, right?"

"Missions start!" Yuffie's voice was very loud considering how early it was. "Who's ready to take names and kick butt?"

She was bright eyed, bushy tailed and ready to go. She was dressed in her usual ninja garb though there was now a long metal piece that ran from her left shoulder down to her wrist, conforming to the rough shape of her arm. Her hip held a new black bag that she'd tossed some snacks into while a vast collection of blades were strapped to a belt that hung loosely around her waist.

On her back was something that looked like a sword in a cloth sheath with a ring in the place of a pommel. To complete her attire was a black headband that circled her forehead.

"The Great Ninja Yuffie is here!" She was also bored since she'd been up for the last two hours waiting to go.

camping shenanigans/look out (~ ̄³ ̄)~

Yuffie knew that they'd have to eventually stop and set up camp for the night but she wasn't looking forward to it. Being in the woods made her think back to her journey with Cloud and the others. She missed them and it was annoying.

With everyone sitting around the campfire, Yuffie rose to make an announcement. "I'm taking first watch. Someone come and get me when its time to switch." She didn't care who took second watch and sauntered off towards the perimeter of their campsite before anyone could stop her. It took two passes around the campsite for Yuffie to find a tree that afforded her a view of the whole area.

She climbed it effortlessly, landing quietly on a sturdy middle branch. Her eyes scanned the horizon as she settled back against the trunk of the tree. Yuffie didn't keep normal sleeping hours, usually grabbing four hour stretches of rest at a time. If she slept for too long she'd wake to nightmares and she wasn't particularly interested in doing that with a group of people that she barely knew.

Yuffie pulled a chocolate bar from her snack pack and began to munch on it as she waited for something interesting to happen.

monster fighting(ノ・ェ・)ノ

This was what Yuffie had been waiting for. Yes, she was supposed to heal or whatever but she was a fighter and she was eager to get back to doing what she knew best. Without waiting for the others, she went running into a small clearing where a weird looking elk thing was grazing.

"Prepare yourself!" Yuffie used the monsters face as a springboard, bounding over it and into an attack position. The creature stumbled, blinked and then took off into the woods. "Yeah! You better run!"

She was too distracted by her own shouting to notice that it wasn't her that the creature had been running from. The ground behind Yuffie rose and fell as if it was breathing. Something was coming.
