[ 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.


[ ooc: This is meant to be a mingle text log! Feel free to comment on each other's posts, yadda yadda go wild! Also the form is only a recommendation, feel free to disregard Ratio's instructions and annoy him. ]

(The way he doesn't want to answer is this but he can't leave Denji on read...)

I don't want to abandon anyone again.

[ignoreher]

[ it's like talking to a WALL ]

I get that, but... I don't feel right about leaving them in need. Especially when so many people are taking advantage of the aftermath.

[ just like when a wing falls. the nest that depends on it falls too, becoming a haven of ill repute and dangerous characters. ]

[cranekin]

I'll heal.

(The tower collapsing threw him for a loop but he isn't human. He'll recover with some rest and care.)

But not everyone can heal as quickly as me.

[queenofkur]

[ ... Something feels off. But she can't just let the twin disasters that are her conversation with Tezca and Set cloud her judgement, can she? ]

I suppose Set told you of her fate then.

We once fought together and it grieves me to know her life came to an end.

[cranekin]

Maybe it's because back home, succumbing to something like this would mean losing yourself.

Or maybe I'm just odd!

FOR HER SAKE I WISH!!!

[fursuit]

nope. our people were devout until the very end.

[ But he doesn't elaborate further. Part of it is because she's asked a better question, but there's part of it that does lament their fate, somewhat. It might not be to the same extent as Quetzalcoatl, but what could Izcalli be but expressing that disappointment? But that gesture, just like now, is too vague to be understood easily.

Also, how their pantheon plays into the Age of Gods is never explained and it drives me crazy, ]

...well, yeah. wouldn't LOVE it, since you're just taking on a debt, more or less. but sure. if that's possible, then doing both is definitely the best option.

[queenofkur]

One day or two may be enough for some, but not for all.

There may be another option that eludes us... I shall endeavor to try and find it ere time runs out.

[likemybooks]

I suppose we all have different priorities.

[cranekin]

Agreed.

If we're going to be visiting other countries, we'll have to think about our relations with them. Though, I get the feeling most people here don't think much about politics.

[nutkick]

[ what a nice lady. almost scared her off to never be seen/spoken to again. phew, close call. ]

i know i will need your kind of help in the future.
... thank you.

[gundemn]

[ This is Seoul so...he gets why she of all people might want to stay. ]

we weren't much of a team to begin with
it shouldn't have been left to a vote in the first place
i don't trust people to make sound decisions

[zauneyete]

[no no trust your instincts ]

He didn't need to.

[A pause, and then:]

It was public. For everyone to see and experience. There is not one person that was in Kenos, that did not experience it.

[cranekin]

Assuming it's laid eggs, I wonder if they've even hatched.
If we're so worried about more of them appearing, it would make more sense to find the eggs before they become a problem.

[nutkick]

one in each arm and one on my head.

[ when the truth starts to sound like utter lies. ]

okay.
i shall wait to see this 'generosity' in the coming weeks before i decide to share the name of my king.
deal?

[plagiarists]

well said.
well, whatever happens, disobeying the order is always on the table.
LILITH should fix their screening process or whatever they do before making us come here
they sure got a few odd ducks

[ Any similarity to op's username is coincidental. ]

[queenofkur]

[ ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...

That's barbaric. But more importantly: ]

Why are you telling me this?

[redsoil]

[ WHY IS SHE SO PURE

"quetzalcoatl's boyfriend".... ( help )!!! ]

I may not be as intimately acquainted with human souls as a god whose domain is death — but, I am not as unfamiliar with them as you might think.

And I could make the same sort of vow. That I will not abandon you to your love, which has prejudiced you so. It is what killed Quetzalcoatl in the end, after all.

[cranekin]

It's best to think about these things reasonably instead of emotionally.

(LIKE SOME PEOPLE ARE...)

What's your condition?

[zauneyete]

Well, you made an incorrect assumption, and I thought I would clarify.

As for why I spoke up, well. I was curious what kind of person would be her friend. I think I'm getting a bit of a picture.

[Set was her friend too????? Irrelevant to him. Don't worry about it. ]

[queenofkur]

[ She wonders if they were devoted to him. But that's a question for another time. ]

There is no taking on a debt. I understand you see those deaths as an inevitability. And this is exactly why humanity rejected us. Their potential surpasses ours.

By trying to force your rules upon them, you are not helping them.

Perhaps it is not them who should adapt to your rules, but you to theirs. For better or worse, the future of our kind is in the hands of humanity.

[queenofkur]

Ereshkigal would no longer exist without her love.

Set, however, would still exist without his hatred. This is what she believed. And this is what I will prove.

[ How, she has no clue. And if he digs into her myth to find arguments against her, she'll be in trouble. Always Ishtar messing things up!

But that's a problem for future her... One that is going to cause her a lot of headache, she can feel it. ]

[queenofkur]

So, you weren't her friend?

[queenofkur]

Unfortunately. Judging from the conversations I have read, I doubt we will be able to convince them in time.

Will you follow the orders and chase the kaiju or will you stay behind?

i'm sorry,

[fursuit]

this definitely isn't related but

love that effect. how'd you do it. I think I need it

[ giving him this power may be a mistake, ]

[redsoil]

Wait.... then how did YOU acquire your experience?
