[ 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. ]

Got pulled out of a block of ice and taken care of by a bunch of strangers who taught me as I went, since I didn't have any memories.
Why?

[hitokiller]

( AND??? who texted that wall knowing this would happen. )

then stay
be an envoy or whatever
i'm not sayin' the people don't need help

( ...... )

i'm a far cry from a hero, malkuth
but humanity still called on me
so i'm gonna do what i know

[fursuit]

I dunno those extraneous comments are the fun ones. get to see more of peoples thoughts that way

[ but as ratio is seeing/will see, that's most of what tezcatlipoca is providing... ]

I'm messing with Set not you don't worry. I get why you did it. but gotta give Set a hard time

[curingidiocy]

Experience in dealing with disasters? I did not say I expected them to know how to fight a kaiju. That is clearly what we were summoned for.

They have long been aware of the threat of these creatures. They should have been aware of the discontent and malicious actors in their city. They should be more than capable of controlling their own citizens. If they cannot, then they are incompetent.

We are a force of less than a hundred individuals, forcibly summoned to this planet for the express purpose of hunting kaiju. A group that small will not make a noticeable difference in controlling a population of several hundred thousand people, regardless of what skills we may have to facilitate it. Conversely, the escaped Imugi may go on to devastate more cities that are exactly like Seoul if unpursued.

Are you prepared to take responsibility for a death toll that may exceed Seoul's population?

i lied i thought of something stupid

[fursuit]

A+

[ that's it that's his verdict ]

[curingidiocy]

[ SIGHS as usual, forums always generate absolutely useless comments. He should have expected it smh. ]

Hence why I provided space for it. Though I see most did not bother adhering to the format provided...

You seem to have history with him. Were you acquainted prior to arriving here?

[curingidiocy]

i'm so sorry

[fursuit]

I don't know what this picture is supposed to mean

that supposed to be you?

why are you white?

[curingidiocy]

We also have a better understanding of the creature's attacks now. I predict our chances of success to be quite high, provided we do not lose track of her.

However, I am concerned about the potential for her to escape into a Rift again. Have we any evidence that she would not be capable of doing so?

[fursuit]

quicker to just toss your thoughts out there without it. ease wins

but yeah, I am. me him and that guy Silco, we all had a stop before coming here. place called kenos. similar catastrophe that needed people from all over to solve it, just bigger scale. I wasn't there all that long, but the other two were there for way longer

[curingidiocy]

It is the alabaster bust I wear when I wish to isolate myself from my surroundings. I have opted not to wear it as of late. It would be foolish of me to diminish my senses in dangerous locations.

[ Totally not because it was fucking stolen— ]

[ignoreher]

[ would LILITH even let some stay behind? it would be preferable, even if her heart seizes at being split again. i'm a far cry from a hero, malkuth and she's a far cry from some kind of savior, but

at least one of them was wanted. at least one of them was remembered and reached out for by the people they'd once upon a time sought to help, even if the methods were different and betrayal the same. ]

Your hands aren't incapable of kindness, you know.
Anyway, I won't sit around and do nothing if the decision doesn't weigh in my favor -- especially if they don't want to split our numbers again and we all end up going or staying. Can I ask the same from you?

[zauneyete]

Oh, oh no.

Do I seem like the type to enjoy prodding questions? A nosy individual that is more interested in prying and pretending reality is different than what she sees before her?

[ope]

[fursuit]

[ this is kind of like the conversation he had about Yuwon's inventory system, since once again, he just... doesn't really understand what this means or how it works. but, you know what? sure. he'll accept it ]

...huh. so like a really elaborate mask?

[hitokiller]

... just 'cause i wanna do things my way
don't mean i won't help if we have to stay
don't even worry about it

[ignoreher]

You're as dependable as ever, Izou. Thanks.

[queenofkur]

[ She re-reads that a few times to get what he's trying to say. Why can't these people just. Say directly what they mean!! It doesn't make them sound smart, it sounds obnoxious. ]

You are the one who read and interrupted a conversation that did not concern you.

[ Talk about nosiness. But she got the hint. ]

If you did not like Quetzalcoatl and came here to laugh at her demise, either you are foolish or an enemy.

[redsoil]

Oh, I am just proving that we CAN call them incompetent.

Considering they had similar of time, knowledge and camaraderie as you — how is it you can give them a pass?

[hitokiller]

'course
just you watch
whatever happens, i'll be there

[hitokiller]

... long as it don't make me look stupid
i'll give it a shot

( it can't be that hard to maintain his balance... )

[wheft]

[ ... ]

It was our fault anyway. That we let it escape.

But even if you say that, the majority has already spoken despite knowing all this. If we get more blood in our hands, so be it. Most of us here are used to that.

[curingidiocy]

[ He's very pleased to spread the cult of rubber ducks, so he won't tell Yato that the inanimate object can be anything so long as they can picture it as an attentive student. ]

I have certainly made use of it in my medicinal research.

[curingidiocy]

Then can you be certain we currently have the ability to successfully subdue the Imugi?

[curingidiocy]

You flatter me. But I see the potential for a fruitful partnership here. Are you in accord?

[zauneyete]

Well, I certainly wouldn't call myself a fool.

[ She is right tho he did come to chortle to himself about her death again. ]

But an enemy? Well. I suppose that depends on how much you cared about her, doesn't it?
