[ 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.

real matter-of-fact, that
and here i figured you'd be more against the torture

( based on... their previous conversations, which had nothing to do with monsters, but. )

[picky]

FEED?
I just know they can manipulate it
You have to DRINK it???

[vorous]

_{[ nat why ]}

I want you to finish the meal too, not just taste it.

_{[ WAIT IS THAT IT?? ]}

[picky]

We've handed Kaiju over to LILITH before... It's not like this is that much different
Maybe I've gotten used to it, as terrible as that sounds
But if it'll help save more people...

[picky]

Absolutely not.

1/2

Dare not call my love of humans a "taint."

I shall not tolerate to be insulted so. Nor shall I allow for a god summoned here to abandon humanity.

I am a deity of the human order. And so are you.

The very concept upon which you preside is born of humanity.

I can understand disapproving or their choices, resenting them or even hating them.

But they are owed our assistance.

[nutkick]

you know what? it's okay.
i'm sure your healing magic thing will work just fine!

[queenofkur]

I doubt a fight against the kaiju is something we can win given the circumstances.

We are tired and spent. Whereas she has a reason to fight that will make her a formidable foe to the last of her breath.

[picky]

[ (pokémon voice) Can't escape! ]

But what do you mean about the blood?

[picky]

Are all of us spent though? It looks like there are people here in this chat who seem okay enough...
Would we even go after her right away?

[nutkick]

it's a joke! i was joking.
horrible joke. i won't do it again.

[ ... ]

i'll let you know when i start the operation "negotiate with the pregnant mama".

[vorous]

MARCILLE PLEASE
Our first monster meal together in this weird place!!

_{[ but it does mean something a little more than just eating together......... which maybe one day ashu will inbox nat about, who knows.. ]}

[hitokiller]

i haven't gone around asking everybody
but if even a genius like me got hit
i figure 'bout half of us must've knocked their head or been rift-afflicted

[picky]

[ please let him drink marcille's blood 🙏 ]

Okay...
We'll see what happens with the vote
I won't let you get hurt either way!

[vorous]

Well, isn't it obvious? That dragon? She can probably feed all of us! Multiple times!

[vorous]

_{[ pushes up imaginary glasses ]}

Actually, it does nothing like that! I've had it! Red Dragon! I've had it several different ways! It will change your life... the taste of a dragon!!

_{[ going this long without a monster meal has made him delirious.. ]}

[vorous]

Well, yes, but..
It will also feed us! I figured that was a no brainer.

[redsoil]

I have seen a world before them, worlds without them and will see a world after them. Do not demand I love them unless you want to suffer for your own.

[ he does NOT appreciate being told off re: humans

thus, he WILL double down 8( jerk! ]

Your understanding of my divinity is flawed; humanity knows war because I exist, not because I was born of their conception. Helping them is a consequence of my summoning here and I task I will accomplish, but do not think that I will not speak at length of the sensibility in leaving then to suffer the consequences of their sins against the world.

[fursuit]

for real? well, damn. figured you'd chowed down on some monsters, considering, but dragons are a pretty big get

so... what's it like?

[uncourteous]

That is an excellent argument you bring to the table, Sir Red. However, are you that starved for the attentions and gifts of strangers? I would say that expecting any sort of fair exchange was a flawed perception from the start. Adoration and respect like most feelings are flimsy, fragile things. You'd best not think too deeply on these matters or else you will find yourself double-crossed.

But, I do agree their goodwill does nothing for us.

As with the conventions of these lands, I deem your argument as 2/10. [ he learned from hot or not... the ranking systems of the modern world. ] It did not appeal much to my emotions, and as you know I have quite a many of them considering how magnanimous and open-hearted I am. In light of this, I may vote the opposite.

I find bears to be more my forte.

[ lol, is he just being an ass... 100% ]

[picky]

[ O_O ]

That's what you want? To eat together?

Does it have to be monsters?

[hitokiller]

... it don't that sound terrible to me
you're just doin' what you think is right
most will dirty their hands to protect somethin'

( shit. maybe he is getting softer, trying to mitigate her unrest a little. )

stay put and tend to the wounded if ya can't handle it

( okay, fixed. )

[vorous]

I can't just tell you what it's like. It's flavor.. I can't put it into words. There's no way I can describe it.

When Marcille and I, the rest of our party too, when we ate Red Dragon.. they kept trying to say what it tastes like... but there's really no taste that can compare. It's really out of this world.

I'll be sure you serve you a dragon meal first as long as LILITH says it is okay to eat.

[vorous]

Yes.

_{[ a pause.. and then.. kind of awkwardly: ]}

It does. It just does.
