[ 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. ]

[ how dare you ]

What does that have to do with anything?

[uncourteous]

Was I wrong?

Or are you admitting to being the type who just flatters anyone?

[undrowned]

You can't bargain with your looks to raise how you rank with me. That's not how it works.

In any case it's not enough for me to overlook your shortcomings.

[uncourteous]

[ was that not what the original post was about???


as much as he'd love to argue that point, it seems entirely pointless when she just seems to double down like that. more importantly— ] Shortcomings? I'm afraid I do not know what you speak of.

But, let's place that aside for now. We should focus on the task at hand, after all. Once this is through, I am sure I will be a proper 10/10 in your eyes, my lady.

[Taryon wonders if he will ever get out of this conversation.]

They served whale kaiju soup in the past.

So yes. I've eaten a monster before.

[fastpaced]

sweet and spicy is a pretty tight combo my man

[ wait what did he say before that ]

and NO it would not b interesting if u blew up??
ur worth more than some data

[fastpaced]

no 1 is reading all that
too bad cuz i wanna know wat ppl r thinking
even tho my minds made up 2

[grade4]

people need to keep it short
essays won't convince me if i don't want to read them

[curingidiocy]

It was not written to convince people. It was for those who desire a comprehensive report of the situation. My decision is at the bottom of the comment, but I did not highlight it as I did not want to influence opinions.

[gimu]

is it? it seems like a strange combination of flavours to inflict on one tongue.

and yes. i know i am. i am, in fact, highly specialized and a good find as far as free labour goes.
but just in case i blow up
the data i produce better go toward something really good.

[30storieshigh]

That has ever been my way. If one moves forward with power and determination, others will follow 👑.

[30storieshigh]

Interesting 🤔. I would very much like to speak on this more. Perhaps over coffee or tea once our current mission is resolved.

[ It's not every day someone can claim to be older than him! Even if she isn't, having more long lived individuals to speak to is hardly a bad thing. Maybe they can compare notes on the continents they've seen sink, that could provide good material for his school lessons! ]

I sincerely wish your belief to be well placed. This is one instance that I would welcome to be proven wrong 👍.

[30storieshigh]

Interesting, I would very much like to learn more of your species 🤔.

If it will assist the Golden Furred one and others of your kind perhaps we should hold what the humans call a Navigation To Blood 🗺️🧭➡️💉. [ Blood drive. ] Civil denizens do these for similar restorative procedures, as I understand it. I myself am sturdy enough to provide enough for many human sized beings without ill-effect, I am sure 👍.

[ Is he strong? Sure but listen bud, he's got radioactive blood. Weird psuedo-science radiation that doesn't seem dangerous, who knows what that'd do to someone... ]

[gundemn]

then let me first clear that up
we were going on a motorcycle date, remember?

[ ... This is not going to land the way he wants when his username is LILITH69, help. ]

[blastedass]

Then the ones who aren't dying should go out in a first wave to track and stop it! The second wave follows after they recover as back up.

[uncourteous]

I had no idea that someone with the title of "queen" could be such an altruistic soul. Color me impressed.

But, do you not believe death is also as much as one's fate as living? Do you not believe they may be capable of fending for themselves to a certain extent? Clearly they've kept this land standing somehow.

[uncourteous]

That's it? By that logic, shouldn't most men have lost their minds completely?

[ lol, ]

Perhaps. Depending on what you consider "meaning" to be.

Regardless, I am also not such a fool to believe that either option truly absolves anyone from getting blood on their hands. I presume lives are lost no matter what decision is made. Though, I do find it a bit humorous that the decision hinges on our choices. Though, I cannot entirely blame them for desiring to cast the decision on another group of people entirely. To be quite honest, it all feels rather contrived.

[ what if they're simply being made to believe in a choice...

who is to say. ]

Have you not decided easily yourself?

[immortalpoet]

what if you catch a disease from it

are you willing to die for your convictions

[immortalpoet]

[...]

[Of course. Even after all of that, the woman who roiled against her circumstances with rage like none other was still there. He knows that personally. Of course that thing never leaves.]

you don't need to make decisions on behalf of everyone, ishmael, even out of spite


but i get where you're coming from

private;

[wheft]

I don't have to. The majority speaks for itself now. It's not that I inherently wanted everyone to suffer because of our decision but

[ and then she's being interrupted irl, whoops ]

Sorry, have to cut this short but you know where I'm getting at.

...Thanks, Vergilius.

[queenofkur]

Queens and Kings should care for the people. If they do not, they are unfit of the crown that sits on their heads. The same is true of Gods.

Regardless, you are correct. Death is unavoidable, it is the fate of all who lives. What exists shall inevitably be no more. It used to be a source of much pain, to see how mortals revile and fear death. However... Perhaps, their persistence against death is what makes life so beautiful.

[hitokiller]

( izou like that confused woman math meme trying to figure out if he's being called a liar in some capacity here...

to which he's just gonna give up, because... fuck it. he's not gonna fight about that right now. )

[redsoil]

I see little worth in refusing!

You may count on me to aid you, provided the work does not interfere with my own personal desires and goals.

[thundercrashes]

it was supposed to be a rhetorical question, not an actual serious one that had to be answered

[fursuit]

man no kidding if it's that fast

it's not like we're having a hard time out here since there's plenty of game in the woods, but wouldn't be letting you eat every few hours...
