[ 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.

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.

We can't really pull a fast one on LILITH, Laios...
They could probably check on what we did through the implants they gave us

[vorous]

What?! Seriously?! They’re going to bring a monster chef here, where there are monsters, and then expect him not to cook them? What else am I supposed to do then? Just kill them and leave the resources? That’s such a waste of monster!

[picky]

Hold on! Unfortunately they've served Kaiju here before
There used to be someone here who would cook it too...

[ rip kaito... ]

We just have to see what LILITH wants us to do first.

[vorous]

I guess.. but.. what else would they do with it? All that meat? There was a food shortage when I first got here and I cooked those big coconut crabs and mutated fish. I figured that would be the protocol with the monsters here too.

Just think how much money we saved eating them back at the dungeon.

[picky]

It's not like we really had a choice back then...

[ Even if almost all of it was tasty. ]

I don't know about protocol, but just because we have monster meat doesn't mean we should eat all of it, right?
What if after they're done testing, they find out it's unsafe to eat?
I'm guessing they wouldn't have let us eat the coconut crabs and things unless they knew it wouldn't make us sick
That doesn't mean the dragon meat might be the same way!

[vorous]

Are you saying.. what I think you're saying?

_{[ please... say it ain't so... he had conditioned you so far... only for her to revert back to this??? ]}

[picky]

I know what you're thinking! Listen!
This isn't like a dungeon! We're up against things we've never seen before
Plus, if you end up getting seriously sick or dying here, I can't revive you!

[vorous]

_{[ don't go where i can't follow ]}

After all the meals me and Senshi cooked for you...

_{[ SHARP INHALE.. ]}

[picky]

Laios, use your head!
If the meat is good to eat, I'm sure LILITH will let you cook it later
Then you can have as much as you want!

1/2

[vorous]

_{[ and then the BIGGEST SIGH.. ]}

You know, you're probably right. But that's only because they're probably different than the monsters we are used to. Still, though..

2/2

[vorous]

Promise me you'll still eat with me if they say it's okay to, alright?

_{[ 🥺 ]}

[picky]

[ he looks so horny in the first icon why ]

Laios
If I have the chance to eat something other than monsters
Why would I eat monsters?

[vorous]

_{[ it's my "i can use this when he's angry or i can use it when he's horny" icon.. frustrated (mad) or frustrated (horny) ]}

Because otherwise, it's a waste of a resource.

_{[ he will always come back to this excuse instead of the fact he thinks eating monsters is kewl ]}

[picky]

You just want me to try it, don't you?

[vorous]

It's more than just that.

_{[ don't make him vulnerable here on a public post.. ]}

[picky]

[ does it anyway ]

What is it then?

[vorous]

_{[ nat why ]}

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

_{[ WAIT IS THAT IT?? ]}

[picky]

Absolutely not.

[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.. ]}

[picky]

[ O_O ]

That's what you want? To eat together?

Does it have to be monsters?

[vorous]

Yes.

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

It does. It just does.

[picky]

What if you eat the monster and I bring something else to eat...?

[vorous]

No. It has to be both of us eating the monster.

[picky]

Do I really have to?

[vorous]

<sub>[ It's at this moment that Laios is realizing that he shouldn't force her to do something like this with him, otherwise it loses it's value. He never thought that he would ever find people-- friends-- who could partake in monster meals with him. So when they found Senshi and all came together, united under this one particular and obscure obsession of his, it made him.. really happy.

But forcing her to eat them with him, it doesn't have the same meaning. If she doesn't want to do it with him, then she's just like everyone else who he's had trouble bonding with. It takes him a moment to reply: ]</sub>

It just.. would mean a lot to me if you did. That's all.
