[ 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. ]

isn't our "job" to hunt and kill these kaiju anyways. let's kill the thing before it comes back to finish *its* job

[wheft]

This is no different from dealing with Distortions, as much as it is annoying it is that it is part of our job now in our Company.

[ dammit, lcb... ]

[immortalpoet]

out of the frying pan into the fire

the company wants what it wants. so does LILITH. hard to just go back on that. saving civilians isn't in our list of terms so to speak

[wheft]

It isn't, yeah. And frankly, it's on us for failing to suppress the kaiju in the first place. It's like letting a prized catch go, and I refuse to let it best me.

But I know you'd understand most of all, Vergilius.

[ it's cruel to say out of context in this public forum, but that's just how fixers roll. ]

[immortalpoet]

after everything you went through, i'd know you'd understand most of all, too

[The obsession with the one who got away.]

[ it's true. she's done a good job of moving on so far, so she didn't think she'd feel like this again. normally it'd be easy to blame it all on rift poisoning, but...

no. she can't change completely. even now, she still wants to crush ahab with her own two hands. and so, putting up the private filter for this one: ]

...Back then, I begged and begged to Dante - no, all of you - that we should prepare for at least six months in advance before venturing into U Corp. None of you listened.

Now, everyone here will know how I felt that day. For us, it'll be just another day in the City. But for others, it'll be a wake-up call that we simply cannot save everyone.

[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

[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.

[Guess she has to run. Busy, busy sinners.]
