[ 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. ]

WOW

[ you have not seen nerdy until you see his horrible mind palace ]

Really? There is nothing nerdy about proper notation.

You should see my war table. I am quite thorough!

[fursuit]

sure there is. it's only proper because the doc decided to do it that way. arbitrary

[ he doesn't actually have a problem with it though... he's just being annoying... ]

what do you mean by war table though? literal?

[redsoil]

I have a bit of an intellectual competition going with Ratio. [ DO YOU?? ] Wild deviations might invalidate certain aspects of it, so I choose to stick to what he puts forth as his methodology.

My war table is both literal and figurative. I keep a mental system of all my knowledge. Want to see? It was easier when we were mentally linked, but I could use the Dataverse for a rough representation.

[fursuit]

...alright, fine, I guess that's fair enough. still nerdy though wanna point out

but yeah. you know I do. let's focus on business here for now but sometime I wanna see the one you made for our previous stop. bet it was a lot more fun.

[redsoil]

I will show you when we finish up here.

What do you think of the Rift, by the way?

[fursuit]

I think it's another mark for "shouldn't have made this body human". it SUCKS. lost my lunch over it

beyond that? most important thing to dig into, clearly.

[redsoil]

Ch'yeah, totally.

It affected me, as well. If we are going to deal with it, we need to develop methodology to defend against and survive it.

[fursuit]

huh. I was thinking next time it happened I'd put on my regalia, but if it still got you, not worth that effort

too bad we don't got the Tree to just pop us back out here. otherwise I'd just give up an organ and do some scrying (more or less) to see what they're all about. doesn't seem like their medical shit's really up for sudden organ removal, especially since I'd have to give up an important one

...seriously, why take away our shit. I made a guy from my lung back in the Lostbelt, can't be THAT big of a deal to give me some of that juice

whatever. we'll do it the boring way

[redsoil]

RIGHT?? I know I have a temper, but it was pure burning WRATH when I came close. It made me sick with rage.

[ set is desperately trying not to miss his old powers. not his divinity, but the power to create plants and all that he'd had. you know, the stuff that had meant osiris was obsolete :) ]

Well, it is not as though I am a god that has magic abilities like my siblings I was not made with such prowess, it seems!! I am a very physical fighter, but my skill truly lies in being able to think of creative solutions. I am second to none in terms of brains.

Still. The boring and unfun way. We cannot just DIE for information, now!!

cw: emeto and it's gross i'm so sorry DON'T READ THIS HE JUST SAYS SHIT

[fursuit]

man I wish that's what happened to me though. considering my diet you know what upchucking is like? disgusting. I took like three baths and still feel like I could take more.

[ meanwhile me, the player, like bro shut the fuck up!!!!!! SO, MOVING ON, ]

so, yeah, want to avoid that again. or give me the trick to just get the angry version. let me go on the bender this time, you're two for two considering the shimmer before we went to super sleep

I'll ask around and see what people know about them. they've fought a couple of these kaiju so far so if they haven't learned anything, they suck

actually if anyone is being nosy and reading this [ CONSIDERING HOW IT STARTED, WHY WOULD THEY!!!! ] feel free to chime in

[curingidiocy]

I will also admit to a curiosity for this 'war table' of yours. If you are collecting information on all Outsiders, perhaps we can collaborate to form a fuller picture of our collective capacity in all areas, not just combat.

[redsoil]

Then, I will inform you that I am always collecting information. It has been a requirement of my position for millennia, and a critical focus I have held for two consecutive years.

Old habits, you know?

[curingidiocy]

An excellent one to have. Information is powerful in the right hands; moreso than pure physical prowess.

[ move over aventurine, ratio's his man now






jk ]

[redsoil]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish you were in the last world I was in, you would have been GREAT as an ally! Or a rival, even!

[curingidiocy]

You flatter me. But I see the potential for a fruitful partnership here. Are you in accord?

[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.

[curingidiocy]

Of course. You need only inform me of any arrangements that must be made and I will accommodate you to the best of my ability.

[ How exciting! It's always wonderful to gain new collaborative partners in research. ]

[curingidiocy]

Calling it arbitrary suggests that there is no reason to the format of the form I have provided. Not that anything exceptional is needed to facilitate this discussion, but the aim was to keep every individual's opening argument succinct, and extraneous comments separate from their contribution to the debate.

[fursuit]

I dunno those extraneous comments are the fun ones. get to see more of peoples thoughts that way

[ but as ratio is seeing/will see, that's most of what tezcatlipoca is providing... ]

I'm messing with Set not you don't worry. I get why you did it. but gotta give Set a hard time

[curingidiocy]

[ SIGHS as usual, forums always generate absolutely useless comments. He should have expected it smh. ]

Hence why I provided space for it. Though I see most did not bother adhering to the format provided...

You seem to have history with him. Were you acquainted prior to arriving here?

[fursuit]

quicker to just toss your thoughts out there without it. ease wins

but yeah, I am. me him and that guy Silco, we all had a stop before coming here. place called kenos. similar catastrophe that needed people from all over to solve it, just bigger scale. I wasn't there all that long, but the other two were there for way longer

[curingidiocy]

I suppose I must resign myself to be content that people are willing to discuss their thoughts.

Yet another planet that summons individuals from all over the cosmos?

[ Just how many planets have that kind of technology??? ]

[fursuit]

planet ain't exactly the word for what it was, but for simplicity's sake? yeah

imagine an end of the world scenario kinda like this but rather than fighting together, you're fighting each other. that's pretty much the deal. two sides that had two different ideas about how to continue civilization

[curingidiocy]

And they summoned people to combat each other instead of using that technology to rebuild their world?

[ There's more to it, right? He's learned not to make assumptions, though his current opinion is that those people must be idiots. ]
