[ 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.

You're quite a kind person.

I'll take you up on that offer when we return to Tokyo.

[picky]

You don't have to take care of him just because we're on the same team!

[uncourteous]

[ not tsuru enabling this... ]

So you are fine with "surprises," regardless of what path they end up bringing you on? That is a bold statement. Have you never regretted that desire to seek excitement even once? [ could some have labeled the decision a "surprise"— is what seems to be his real question. ]

[nutkick]

shoving a sock down your mouth is treason?
a bit dramatic, don't you think?
it's just a tiny sock.

[gimu]

shouldn’t i? his culinary knowledge is expansive. it is my duty to defend everyone unfortunate enough to get the LILITH treatment.

[picky]

I do think we should help each other out, but I'm not sure if I'd call it a duty...
You're learning how to cook from him?

[gimu]

not yet but he offered to grill eels for me. when it happens, i intend on watching how he does it.

[gimu]

oh. am i?

in tokyo then. i will find you.

[ why does this come off as a little threat…? ]

[picky]

Sounds fair
I didn't know you wanted to learn how to cook!

[gimu]

i do, i think.

i want to make delicious things for our companions to enjoy. is this strange?

[picky]

[ A twisty, warm feeling rises in her chest. She smiles without thinking. ]

No, it isn't
It's very good of you!
Can I try some? I've been baking recently, so maybe we can trade.

[gimu]

[ he brightens some, an uplifting of strange spirits. ]

when we get back i will make something for you, then.
that something will be tofu.
i only know tofu for now.

1/2

[picky]

I like tofu!
I know how to cook too, if you ever want help. Laios and I learned a lot from someone who traveled with us through the dungeon.

[picky]

Even if we were eating monsters back then too...

[gimu]

[ cooking. with marcille? what a delightful idea. it warms up some strange doo-dad in his chest, sets it whirling like a tiny dynamo to spread the warmth through his body like a rush of electricity. ]

how did the monsters taste? were they easy to cook? harder than regular food?

[picky]

[ Choso is so cute... If only this wasn't about cooking monsters. ]

How easy or hard it was to cook would depend on the monster, you know? There's a big variety of them.
Senshi spent ten years learning how to cook monsters, so
Almost everything he made was really delicious...

[gimu]

[ delicious… delicious…! to be called delicious by marcille even if it’s a monster, it must have truly been toothsome! ]

if you could name your favourite monster dish, what would it be?

[picky]

You and Laios really are alike.
Senshi once made a potage from dryad fruit and mandrakes when I was out of mana
It was really sweet and had a floral taste.
I still think about it sometimes

[peoplewatch]

[ that sounds like a threat ]

Yes. Come and find me.

[uncourteous]

Do you think that argument would hold up in the royal court?

Should we see? We can always do a simulation.

[nutkick]

[ this guy. god. ]

in this 'simulation'
can i shove a real sock down your throat first?

i have to commit the crime before facing the judge right.

[uncourteous]

You must be quite attached to that sock.

But, I would think it would begin from you being put on trial for attempting to lay your hands on a royal. But, considering your history of supposedly caring for another imperial, perhaps your sentence could be lighter... ]

[cranekin]

If I wasn't fine with it, I think I'd be more miserable.

(Than he already is.)

No. If I decide to do something, I make sure to do it without regret.

[uncourteous]

[ more miserable... the statement does oddly resonate with him. ]

Who knows? Perhaps, there is an upper limit to misery and you've all but achieved it?

[ except, he knows such a thing doesn't exist. ]

That's no easy feat. Color me impressed. Though, I'm very much the same.

[assassinsgreed]

_{[ It's easy when you care so little about the fate of yourself, your society, etc. ]}

that sounds like so much
whatever makes you happy, i guess
