[ 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. ]

you will only choke and die if you somehow fail at chewing properly.
if it is a toxin stronger than mine then you will experience dizziness and confusion before it begins to affect your respiratory system. ideally by then you will be unconscious so as to avoid the unpleasantness of your body shutting down around you.

regardless i would not make you eat something that would destroy you so easily.

[thundercrashes]

that's... reassuring, I guess?

[good to know that he's not just going to let manjoume die apparently]

[gimu]

you are a precious ally. i will preserve manju’s very human life to the best of my ability.

[thundercrashes]

manjoume-san.

it is not that hard to say or even type.

[yes, he is still bitching about the manju nickname here]

[gimu]

it sounds like manju, which are delicious. manju and sour plums. i like that better.

[thundercrashes]

well I don't! just call me by my name, for god's sake

[gimu]

manjume-san

[thundercrashes]

why are you like this

[gimu]

a series of strange events and circumstances have led me to this moment.

why are YOU like this?

[ what does it mean??? he don’t know, but it seems polite to return the question, like a badminton volley. pwonk. ]

[thundercrashes]

hey don't turn this back around on me

[thats not fair, nor was this supposed to be met with actual serious answers or consideration!]

[gimu]

ok
but how will i know why now?

[thundercrashes]

it was supposed to be a rhetorical question, not an actual serious one that had to be answered

[gimu]

what a strange brand of questioning. what is one meant to do with rhetoric? in the event of an answer, does the other party have to answer too? that seems only fair.

[thundercrashes]

you are taking this way more seriously than you need to be about a question that was not meant to be answered and was just a statement of annoyance

and even if I was going to seriously consider answering something like that and not just as a joke, I sure wouldn't be doing it right now when we're supposed to be talking about what to do about the stupid kaiju problem??

[gimu]

a statement of annoyance. i think i understand.

[ humanity sure was weird with its rhetoric and its funny little cynicisms and turns of phrase.

but wait. manju has a point, one that choso had put on the backburner for a hot minute. oops. ]

i will gather your answer later in a more appropriate setting.

nevertheless my decision on the matter remains: chase and then eat.

[thundercrashes]

[thank god, they can get back on topic instead of entertaining this train of thought further]

right then. good luck on not dying, on both of those counts if it does end up happening.

[gimu]

worry not, sour manju. i am categorically difficult to kill.
