▶ DOWN TIME.

As Outsiders make themselves comfortable back on MAIN BASE, they will be informed of a reward for their great efforts. A pizza party will be held sometime after the kaiju fight and before a Valentine's party. All it really contains is pizza being served in the cafeteria along with the following streamers with balloons:

GOOD JOB:
TOP KNOT (K.O)
HAT GUY (294)
SNOWMOON (292)

Those who do you attend the party will still get this message as a marquee text along their ocular device. Characters CAN take this message off, but it's a bit complex. Try under General > Settings > Notifications > Messages > Texts > Alerts > Appearance > End Battle Notifications > OFF. Hopefully you won't miss something exciting by doing this. The marquee will disappear a week after the kaiju fight.

▶ CHOCOLATES.

On the day of February 14th, every Outsider will find that there is a box (or several) of chocolate. As soon as their eyes fall on them, their oculars will automatically generate a message, almost as if it were a mission debrief:

█ █ █ MISSION OBJECTIVE:
✖ Hand out all chocolate before end of day.
✖ Failure to comply will be grounds for disciplinary action.

It's unknown who the order has come from, but those who don't hand out chocolates by the end of the day, will find that the very next morning, they are confined to their room for a full 24 hours.

During the duration of the holiday, Outsiders will see a tiny number in the corner of their oculars, which notates how many chocolates they have left to give. This number may also not move unless the chocolates are delivered with enough good will. Maybe add in a word of gratitude, a flirty comment or two, or even a fake confession if you're bold enough.

HOW TO PLAY: Feel free to use this post to play around with these prompts, or start your own logs (both are completely okay)!

NOTE: Everyone is free to decide how many chocolate boxes they were given and how stubborn SYNTHIA is in moving their count down. It can also be assumed that SYNTHIA will be encouraging and guiding Outsiders to complete this mini-mission.

▶ SYNDER.

Although ocular & brain implants are the means of communication nowadays, a messenger service still exists in this world. Mostly everyone uses LINE nowadays even if the need for cellular phones is null. Characters may have already recognized the interface to be somewhat familiar with the similar shade of green and same old slogan.

This time, a new extension appears on the LINE interface. It's something called SYNDER? Outsiders who are curious may investigate this program will see that it has already filled out a dating profile for them. This profile is only visible to Outsiders and not the LILITH crew or any civilians. Outsiders MUST change their dating profile to what they would like or delete it... those who are too slow to change or delete their profile may get an embarrassing profile already filled out for them. Once someone responds to their bio, there's no changing it for the rest of the month! So make sure you check out and see what the system programmed for you.

"The system is updating …

...

The system is updating … Wait.. SEOK DANG, what the █ █ █ did you do?"

Not long after that, another message runs across the screen.

"Hahaha, it was such a shame we had to fight that big whale bitch around this time of year! Love is in the air, so get loving! It might be the last time you get to do it, who knows! Okay, gang, don't tell the Commander or Captain about this. They're kinda serious biz but I really think we all could use some stress relief, right? Fill out this profile below and get minglin'! Or don't. It'll probably do it for you if you don't put SOMETHING though."

Welcome to our second Network Mingle! This is a Tinder mingle; a new application that SEOK DANG has installed into everyone's implants. It's taken a lot of tweaking and hacking behind the rest of the LILITH crew's backs. Seems like the only person on staff who is interested in seeing Outsiders get some is SD himself. These messages are encrypted from the LILITH crew ... besides SD because he's a nosy bastard. Sounds fun.

HOW TO PLAY:
1. In observation of Valentine's Day, this month's text meme is a dating profile! Pick the textarea that is under your TEAM NAME and fill out the spaces.
2. You can write the bio in character or as if Synder programmed their bio for them.
3. Body count can be confusing... even the automatic system doesn't know what that means! Does it mean how many people you have fucked or how many people you have killed? Or both?
4. PROFIT!
5. Special shout out to Roc for giving us this event suggestion!

Participation in this mingle isn’t obligatory, of course. If you don’t want your character to participate, you can simply assume the glitch did not affect them.

We also have a code below for fun, but please don't feel pressured to use it. As always, a regular text thread works out just fine! Most importantly, have fun! All tags on this mingle will count for 2 points each.

people around will be more inclined to think you've gone insane than that i'm old enough to be one, but if you enjoy being seen as a maniac so much, go right ahead.

( he doesn't even mean to be rude about this but damn )

[ Yeah she has no idea if that's good or bad. So she'll just send over the coordinates she's had in her back pocket. Coordinates that bring up a pretty adorable looking cafe with a cartoon cat sign out front. ]

I found a cat cafe
looks cute
if you like them, you should go there

There are worse things to be seen as.

[ like a psychopath. ]

What did you even do for 481 years?

[ LOOK she normally doesn't pay attention to these things!! thanks SD :/ ]

A divine what?

I mean, I can't deny that you'r dangerous and all, but I still think you held back on me. I've had much worse.

the child i...
gah
does it LOOK like i'm rarin' to be someone's papa to you???

( val is this how you're asking me about genshin lore )

does it interest you because you can't imagine living for so long? because the answer is nothing special. ( uhhhhhhhhhhhhh mass-murder of generations of inazuman families, for one )
what does any living being do with their lives? the specifics don't matter. aren't we all just waiting to die?

( ... squints......... )

are you going to quit your shitty job and work there instead?

( despite how it sounds: he is not trying to be rude. shocking )

i'm a puppet.

( man-made, creation, etc. moving on... )

i did. but i'm not interested in killing you. squishing down an ant beneath my foot is as easy as breathing, ( says guy who doesn't breathe btw ) but an ant can still crawl on my skin and pinch me. it won't hurt, but it's annoying.
overall, they're harmless. more likely than not they saw me as a threat, anyways. doesn't that apply to you?

I try not to judge a book by its cover. You might be surprised at the sorts that wind up caring for a little one, but that's why we're all getting to know each other now, hm?

maybe

[ There's no way it'd be worse than what she's doing now, so...honestly? She's thinking about it more than before. ]

( get some rest and safe travels... 🥺 )

o-oh, yeah?
it's nothin', really
all in a day's work for a genius like myself
heheheh

( the little snicker transfers into text easily. he can't help it. maybe there's a silver lining to this buggy profile. )

[ He does hear the shuffling of someone taking the box and opening it, but that's exactly what he intended, so Nanami doesn't stir from his chair, head resting on his shoulder and tilted back to afford some comfort. He only opens his eyes when he feels something balancing on his face, crossing them slightly as he focuses on the object and realizes what it is.

When he raises his gaze to Kafka, he has to sit up and catch the chocolate, holding it in his palm and looking at her with complete confusion. ]

What is this?

[ Yes, he technically knows because he put the boxes there, but why is this happening to him? ]

good thing it ain't the only thing i eat then
besides, s'not like i'm the one who wrote this shit

( synthia just hates me. that's it. )

IDEAL DATE: Anything where the other person pays.

		AUTO-GENERATED:ANALYZING. . . 100%.

▶ CHOCOLATES

_{[ Throughout any of this nonsense, you can come across Toji hanging around the main base commons area, the cafeteria or maybe even the Brimstone wing.. eating all of the chocolate he was given to hand out to others for himself. He knows his actions have consequences and doesn't seem to care. Other than that, he might try to bribe someone passing by: ]}

Hey. Lemme have'em.

_{[ It doesn't have to mean anything.. right? Maybe that is a memo he didn't read. He just loves free things and considers this a business transaction. ]}

Edited 2024-02-15 06:07 (UTC)

I didn't volunteer for that.

[ Yor's had every intention of just heading off-base and giving the candy away for work or, well, just to passers-by in the city proper. But upon seeing a familiar face, she comes to a sudden stop, foot in the air before she puts it back down after a second. ]

Oh, Toji! You'll take some? [ She brightens up a bit and holds up the stack of boxes. Five in total. ] Wonderful! How many would you like?

Seemed a shame not to share the wealth.

( and as if to show what she means for him to do with the piece she's bestowed upon him by example, she's going to go on ahead and lift one out of the box to put to her lips. a bite is all she needs to confirm that it really isn't the best piece of confectionery she's ever had, but she didn't really expect much since the batch matches the ones she found assigned for her to give out. she could do better.

that's not the point, though. )

Don't tell me you intend to sleep the day away?

No.

( well. )

Not if you're going to ask like that.

( and while she doesn't flick him on the nose.. it's tempting. she definitely looks like she's considering it. )

Though I am surprised you haven't just been swiping them.

( <- woman who watched him take off of other people's trays at the cafeteria her first week here. )

		YUWON KIM

		XX / M / REVELATION 012

HEIGHT: 188 CM

BODY COUNT: None of your busine— record high being roughly 1,000 in a single night.

IDEAL DATE: Romantic walks in the dungeon.

		Yuwon Kim is your everyday university student until he ends up living next to [AUTOGENERATES NAME]. At first, they barely speak, seemingly from entirely different worlds, but LILITH changes their relationship forever. Having to work beside each other, they now have to learn to get along in order to survive.

If you love drama, intrigue, and back hugs— you've come to the right place. Come and get your very own k-drama oppa. ❤️

This profile has been auto-generated.

CHOCOLATES / OTHER PROMPTS, INCLUDING PIZZA PARTY!

[ honestly, he has no real reason to keep them, so he'll give them out arbitrarily. if you have a specific prompt you're looking for or want to escalate it into a false confession, just lmk... time to act our a kdrama scene for real i guess, even if yuwon probably has never actually watched one.

you can also just leave me a blank comment and i can figure out a way to make it happen. ]

❤

I'll pass.

[ but him not actually passing on her... was maybe in part to her efforts during the last fight. ]

We'll never get the deposit on the venue back.. And one of us will have to call the catering company to cancel.

And the dress that's already been tailored? What a waste.

❤

Two swords?

[ honestly, he was curious enough where he accidentally matches him.... oops. ]

Your words say one thing but the heart says another. I thought you said you weren't shy?

( that's alright though. it's cute. )

❤

Oh...

I was late checking in on you.

[ i'm sorry, you really do deserve better, wanchan.

but, this reminded him... ]

[ the stack of boxes are kind of hard to miss in the buzz of people who have been coerced to share their chocolates with one another. honestly, having some offered to him is nothing more than a burden at this point, but he guesses it would make sense to do him the favor of exchanging them.

he takes out a box from his side, before also holding it towards nanami as he's resting. even firmly pushing it against his hand. ] If you're forcing them on me, you may as well help with mine.
