[voidbound]

( ooc: assume that this has been passed around among the AU'd characters or something. )

I'm sure we all heard Gwen's news. It seems that the kaiju has mental effects that the ability to influence memories and emotions. I believe that is the reason for the strange behavior that some of our coworkers have been exhibiting since our arrival.

Since that appears to be the case, what should our plan be? I would like to open this forum to hear suggestions. Personally, I don't believe casting them out will be beneficial to us in either the short or long run.

Ostracizing them would do no good, I think. That may serve to make it worse, or force them to dig in.

[ yeah
silco's the one saying this
he's so helpful! 😊 ]

Thus far they haven't shown resistance to the Kaiju, so perhaps we should focus on eliminating the source of the problem. Once that is done, they should remember who they are without issue. They may be upset, a bit, but...

It is better than driving them away in the short term, especially since we may need their assistance to take out the Kaiju.

[voidbound]

I agree. Compromised or not, they still are our coworkers.

Our friends, too. Some maybe even more.

My concern is that...if the Kaiju has already taken root in their minds, then who's to say that they won't be easier to manipulate further?

[zauneyete]

I know. It's difficult to square it with what could end up being a fight with them.

But remember, you all saved me and the others when we were corrupted by the rift. We cannot simply turn our backs on them.

Perhaps the option is to have some sort of alternative method to contain them. Something to knock them out, should they prove to be fully under its sway later. We may need to be ruthless, and handle them at the first sign of betrayal.

They will forgive us after, I am sure.

yuji's strong as shit and youre made out of toothpicks and paper mache so good fucking luck oyaji

[voidbound]

I can probably take him on, if strictly necessary.
And I imagine you'll help, too.

But let's avoid fighting each other if we have to.

[voidbound]

Being ruthless for the sake of a better good...

It would be difficult, but I can do it. They need our help, along with the rest of Windsor. Leaving them behind would be cruel. Awful.

[ "AU" Info! yes he's in both groupchats. yes, he hates it. no he will not narc on either. ]

does anybody know what the fuck the kaiju actually is tho

the commander didnt tell us anything this time just that it "ongoing"

ongoing my ass wouldn't we know what we're up against then?

@BAD DADDY

[zauneyete]

Well, let's look at the facts. Gwen and her commanders haven't told us anything, so what have we learned? It's been around for some time, since they haven't been able to defeat it, correct?

So it must be particularly old, and crafty, to have evaded any attempts to defeat it. Otherwise, we may have been called before, yes? We've all been doing this for some time.

So something old, at the very least.

[misclassed]

if being old as balls and crafty was the only requirement we'd have to call you a kaiju too

[zauneyete]

I know, it's not the best approach, but it can be necessary sometimes.

We won't leave them behind, boy. If we have to be ready to stop them until we defeat the kaiju, then so be it. The alternative is what I find distasteful.

[zauneyete]

He had his mind altered too?

I spoke with him and he seemed fine.

[zauneyete]

Well.

There was that odd period in June, wasn't there?

[misclassed]

goth crash outs don't count

[misclassed]

i just wanna know if i need a sword or a kanabou or one of the robots

crafty doesn't mean shit if you hit it first

[voidbound]

My first guess would be that we are could be dealing with what could be interpreted as fairies.

It sounds silly, but the use of unicorns as a symbol, their friendliness towards other animals, and their antiquated lifestyle that’s keeping them closely connected makes me believe that.

[misclassed]

you have to be fucking kidding me

[zauneyete]

[ "goth crash outs" please he just got a little corrupted, it was fine ]

Most of the kaiju have been fairly large.

If you have a robot, use that.

[voidbound]

I’m not?

though I get it. The public’s idea of fairies is wildly different from how they used to be thought of.

Though this doesn’t really help us narrow it down. “Fairy” is as broad a term as trying to refer to a housecat by only calling it a carnivorous mammal.

[powderkegs]

I mean, they're just confused, right?

They're not hurting anyone.

[misclassed]

[ FUCK ]

you know he wont want anyone taken out of play like that

un: Goldilocks

[likemybooks]

Oh! That would be quite the exciting turn of events. Do you think we have to research old fairy tales to solve this case?

i get it but also is there any way to get them to calm down

i feel like some are going to get a heart attack from this

@shiro

[cranekin]

Yet.

[voidbound]

You think they could?

[cranekin]

We have before. 😔
