[ 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. ]

Not sure. According to everyone's findings a couple of weeks ago, we only found rotten eggs in the mountains so far. No sign of fresh ones as far as we could see.

[picky]

Just rotten? None of them were cracked open?

[wheft]

I cracked mine open to check. There weren't a lot of them too, what with the small amount of people who reported their findings.

[picky]

I'm gonna go ask a few questions, but this is good information.
Thanks, Ishmael
I agree with you, by the way

[wheft]

You're welcome, Marcille.

I'm a little surprised, not gonna lie. I thought you'd be the type to stay.

[picky]

I don't really feel good about it...
But if we don't take care of this now, there could be a lot more destruction later. There could be another Seoul somewhere else, you know?
Then we'd be spread even more thin than we already are

I don't know... It feels like there's not really a good answer

[wheft]

No, that makes a lot of sense. If we can eliminate this problem now, the chances of survival would be greater, even if lives will be lost along the way.

Either choice will put a lot of blood in our hands anyway.

[picky]

Yeah, exactly

[wheft]

...Don't dwell on it too much. Let's just focus on what we can do for now.

[picky]

Are you okay after the fight?
Do you need healing or anything?

[wheft]

Other than a few burns from the acid rain, I am still fully functional for the most part. At least I'm not incapacitated this time.

But even if I'm injured, I won't let that stop me from killing that kaiju. Letting it escape our clutches the first time is humiliating.

[picky]

Right... You would have seen her escape through the rift
I'm sure no one could have stopped it! The rift effects are way too powerful. No need to be hard on yourself about it

I can heal you up if you want? Then you can be at full strength if we end up going after it!

[ only if ishmael wants to deal with the healing pains/itchiness for a little bit afterwards ]

[wheft]

It's fine, I'm on the mend right now. I don't have it as bad as the others right now, at least. But... thanks.

That said, I refuse to let the effects hinder me. I've endured far worse at sea, so...

[picky]

I think you mentioned the sea before, but I haven't heard a lot about what you went through...
Tell me someday?

[wheft]

[ ... ]

Yeah, I will.

[ she deserves to know one day. ]
