[ Soon after LILITH hands the decision to Outsiders, Ratio makes a post on the ocular network. ]

I hope you have all had ample time to rest from the aftermath of the kaiju's attack. However, it is time to turn our attention to the future. We have been given an opportunity to decide our next step.

1: Stay in Seoul and assist the city.
2: Chase after the escaped Imugi.

I imagine opinions may be divided on this front, so I would like to open the forum for discussion. Please state your choice and provide thorough reasoning for your decision. You will not convince anyone with a half-baked argument. You may respond to any comment as you please, but remember to stay civil and do not resort to derogatory or inflammatory comments. Should you break this rule, I will revoke your comment permissions.

Keep in mind that your choice will have a grave effect on the people of this planet. It is not one to be made lightly, so do not treat it with levity.

You may use the form below to keep your comment clear and easy to read.

<b>Decision:</b> State your decision here. <b>Reason:</b> Be concise. Bullet form preferred. <b>Other:</b> If you have any other comment to make, do so here.

My answer is obvious. I saw no need to respond.

[wheft]

Other than a few burns from the acid rain, I am still fully functional for the most part. At least I'm not incapacitated this time.

But even if I'm injured, I won't let that stop me from killing that kaiju. Letting it escape our clutches the first time is humiliating.

[picky]

Right... You would have seen her escape through the rift
I'm sure no one could have stopped it! The rift effects are way too powerful. No need to be hard on yourself about it

I can heal you up if you want? Then you can be at full strength if we end up going after it!

[ only if ishmael wants to deal with the healing pains/itchiness for a little bit afterwards ]

@BAD DADDY; im sorry for this, i really am

[zauneyete]

Oh, were you two friends?

@BAD DADDY

[zauneyete]

You know how I feel about this, why should we lift a finger for them when they cannot even fight for themselves? I've never seen a people more unworthy of this sort of aid than the people here. [ Which. Is saying something. ] They have done so little for themselves, haven't they?

[wheft]

It's fine, I'm on the mend right now. I don't have it as bad as the others right now, at least. But... thanks.

That said, I refuse to let the effects hinder me. I've endured far worse at sea, so...

[picky]

I think you mentioned the sea before, but I haven't heard a lot about what you went through...
Tell me someday?

[stonehearts]

After all your fussing you're going to turn down dinner together? Not a chance

So what's on your mind? Really on your mind

[curingidiocy]

It's nothing you should concern yourself with.

[stonehearts]

That's not a decision you get to make for me

[curingidiocy]

If you are concerned that it pertains to you, don't. I simply need time alone to think.

[stonehearts]

I'm concerned about you. You're a rational man, Ratio, but you've got too kind of a heart to be completely unfeeling. It's about the choice, isn't it?

( a gamble, but one he's certain of. )

[curingidiocy]

[ The only thing he sends in response is a view of Seoul from somewhere in their encampment. The city is in ruins, the Lotte World Tower has collapsed and the shards of its broken soul are all that remains, and the corpse of the Imugi is in clear view. It's like the scene of some apocalypse, except it's their current reality.

It's more destruction than the sheltered scholar must be used to seeing. ]

[nutkick]

[ if she happens to be close to him and he's seriously injured — he'll do it. sorry ... ]

deal.
i'll protect you, too.

[picky]

[ she won't be sorry as long as it helps...! (also, are you good with dungeon meshi spoilers?) ]

I'm Marcille. You?

[nutkick]

[ EGG BREAKING?!!! ]

hey, woah!
why must we kill the babies???? what have they done to deserve this?!

[wheft]

[ ... ]

Yeah, I will.

[ she deserves to know one day. ]

[nutkick]

[ open to all the spoilers! ]

denji.

[picky]

Denji then!
I know things are busy and stressful right now, but now that you know what I can do, let me know if I can help with anything, okay?

[ this person seems nice! ]

[plagiarists]

[ Don't abandon LILTH69 just yet... ]

i just wonder what it means to our team integrity or whatever
some people want to stay and some want to go
if we force people to stay, they'll probably resent us
if they force us to go... well
let's say i won't be happy about it

[crisantemo]

that's a really good idea! a back-up team of healers and people who can fight

that way we'll be better prepared if anything goes wrong. or if we might need to split our forces

[queenofkur]

Please do not insult your culture so. Quetzalcoatl never treated death as you do. She was an honorable goddess who did her utmost to minimize human casualties, to an extent even I was unable to follow.

[ She's not going to even try and pretend she's impartial here. She's tired, she's spent all her mana, she wants to sleep and here's this guy who wants to debate for the sake of annoying her.

What has she done to deserve this? Perhaps this is the real punishment for having broken her oath. ]

If you plan to follow the will of the people here, then why did you even contact me? To speak only in half-truths and cause more misunderstandings?

she needs an aspirine

[queenofkur]

And you believe they are not paying for their sins? Everyday, they suffer the consequences of what they have done. Children who carry no sins of their own are born in a world where suffering awaits them.

[ She'd go on her tirade about the infinite potential humans have within them...

... But that's a lost cause, isn't it? Besides, she's too tired right now to properly express herself. She just wants to sleep and here she is arguing with two gods as to why it's bad to let humans die. ]

I am not trying to control you. I am not even asking you to love humans.

But I cannot and will not stand for a god who claims the memory of Quetzalcoatl to speak in such vile terms.

@goddess of death

[queenofkur]

A well-rested party counting half our numbers failed to take it down. She is now aware of our presence and expects us. Worse, her maternal instinct shall make her far more ferocious than before.

If we chase her and die, the damage to this world will be far worse. We are humanity's last line of defense.

[queenofkur]

[ She'd vote for Malkuth. A shame instead they're stuck arguing why abandoning people in need is such a bad idea... ]

I foresee nothing good coming from this.

If my assessment is correct, the majority is in favor of giving chase and our words are not swaying them.

I tried convincing some, to no avail.
