โ–ถ DOWN TIME / NETWORK MINGLE #2

โ–ท DOWN TIME / NETWORK MINGLE #2


โ–ถ 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.

โ–ถ 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:

โ–ˆ โ–ˆ โ–ˆ MISSION OBJECTIVE:
โœ– Hand out all chocolate before end of day.
โœ– 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.



โ–ถ 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 โ€ฆ

...

The system is updating โ€ฆ Wait.. SEOK DANG, what the โ–ˆ โ–ˆ โ–ˆ 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 isnโ€™t obligatory, of course. If you donโ€™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.

(Please remember to put warnings for NSFW/triggering content in the subject header.)

( Kiritsugu was not a man to take LILITH'S requests lightly, wanting to assure he could sidestep any penalty that was to come were he not to distribute the aforementioned chocolates. He starts by leaving box at the doors of each of his roommates, but that is hardly enough. As such, he's taken to handing out the boxes wherever he can: at a booth inside the cafeteria, with drinks ordered at the karaoke bar, or maybe he simply hands you one on the street or in the hallways of the base. Wherever he finds you, he simply Will Not Relent until you've accepted a box or three. )

ok but
is your wife going to watch you romance me in six languages??
what languages do you know anyway?

Even if she were in this world, I'd rather not.

Japanese, English, Tagalog, and German are the ones I'm most fluent in, though I have passing familiarity with Mandarin and Russian. I spent quite a bit of time in war zones as a child, so much of it was learned by necessity.

at least we ruled out one kink
also look at me, unlocking your tragic past already...
i guess love is war so you're sticking to the theme of this app, tho
still, it's impressive that you know all of these, i'll give you that
and what are you doing as an adult?

I'm not particularly kinky. Sorry to disappoint you.

( Read: he likes romance. )

I guess I don't mind talking about it.

( He's holding the particularly troubling details close to the chest. )

I like writing poetry, teaching myself how to cook.

The AI had more input in that decision than I did.

( He just woke up and it was there, fully formed out of the ether. )

That's not to say my wife and I didn't have something of an open relationship back in my world, but I wasn't exactly putting myself on the market.

( He only ever had one other partner, and someone Irisviel was intimately familiar with, at that. )

Unfortunately.
I suppose I'm on the fence about it, more than anything.
My wife wouldn't want me to be unhappy.
Would probably chastise me for it, actually.
But I don't want to rush into anything, either.
It just feels like I'd be setting myself up for disappointment.


( Irisviel always did seem to think he was chasing after his own death, and he couldn't say that was necessarily inaccurate. )

Oh, you liked that?
It is.
Thanks?
I've always dabbled in artistic pursuits, I just never thought there would be an audience for it.

idk your wife
but we're not staying here forever...
so maybe it is like setting yourself up for disappointment
you could also, you know
try not to treat everything seriously and do whatever you want
your wife sounds like she'd be cool with that


[ She can't believe she's having this conversation. Is this Valentine's Day atmosphere getting to her...? ]

i prefer novels tbh
but poems are fine once in a while

[personal profile] originbullets 2024-02-23 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
Why?
You don't want to go on a date with me, do you?
I'm not going to tell you no, but allow me to warn you that it's poorly advised.


( Truth be told, Kiritsugu can't, either! Is the atmosphere getting to him? )

To sum it up: I had a partner who would assist me on hit jobs.
We'd sleep together as a means of stress relief.
My wife was aware of this.
They were fairly close, so it was mutual.


Oh yeah? I wouldn't mind some recs.
You familiar with Kurt Vonnegut?

if you buy me a few nice drinks i can go
but if you bring up money while we're talking, i'm leaving


[ Looks like someone has Bad Experiences with guys who wanted to prove their worth using their bank balance. ]

i don't mind
i killed people myself, so i don't have room to judge
i can't decide if you like your relationships with women simple or complicated, tho

and to answer your question
we are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be

[personal profile] originbullets 2024-02-23 09:41 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not that I didn't enjoy my relationships with my wife or assistant.
I did.
It's that I always felt they deserved better than what I could offer.
What husband wouldn't?
But they appreciated me for who I was, so I suppose it doesn't matter.


( As Sooyoung can probably tell, Kiritsugu's self-esteem is in the shitter. )

I don't mind footing the bill. I work at the karaoke bar, so I get a discount anyway.
Personally, I always was fond of: Cigarettes are a classy way to commit suicide.

I suppose the more accurate term would be child soldier. I was orphaned at a young age, and taken in by an older woman as her mage apprentice. She and I would take assassination jobs, or sign up for foreign wars to get by. It's not a cycle I was able to break from until my 20s.

( And only because he had wealthy patrons in the Einzberns, at that. )

You grew up in a harsh environment. But you left?

Does your family know?
originbullets: iconography; (I'm final entropy;)

[personal profile] originbullets 2024-02-16 12:59 am (UTC)(link)
The last of my biological family died when I was about 10 or so. My father had been a mage marked for sealing by the Mage's Association.

( And was killed by Kiritsugu's own hand, no less. )

But I had a wife and daughter before arriving here. They're my only family left.

( Technically his wife is also dead, but he's touchy about that atm. )

Do you regret having to be here? It must be difficult.

[ He had a family and a different life. It sounds very close to an escape from a violent life to Nanami. ]
originbullets: thingamajig; (I'm the architecture;)

[personal profile] originbullets 2024-02-16 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
I suppose the answer to that is a tricky one. I want nothing more than to see my daughter's face again, but here, I feel as though I'm living on borrowed time-- like some sort of purgatory. When I return, I await death by the hands of a magical curse, that will cause my body to gradually deteriorate. Here, the curse is lifted, and I'm free to act as I please. But mostly, I don't want my time in this world to amount to nothing, so I'd like to help others where I can.

( For Kiritsugu's part, he's not certain if he can feel regret about his presence in this world, past the empty nothingness of his soul. Much like a corpse being reanimated to walk. )
stresspoint: (pic#16830289)

[personal profile] stresspoint 2024-02-17 07:50 am (UTC)(link)
You're cursed?

Then while you're here you can do what you would want to do. You should take advantage of that now so that whatever happens you can be satisfied.

Maybe there's a silver lining for all of us.

[personal profile] stresspoint 2024-02-17 10:01 am (UTC)(link)
That's a spirit?

[It's a vaguely familiar name but not something he's dealt with as a curse in his world.]
originbullets: thingamajig; (Her timeless watch is quiet;)

[personal profile] originbullets 2024-02-18 02:31 pm (UTC)(link)
More accurately, a Zoroastrian destruction god.

Before my arrival, I'd been drafted into a conflict between mages known as "The Holy Grail War," which takes place about every 50 years or so. Apparently my patron family attempted to summon the spirit in the war prior, and as it turns out, corrupted the grail, itself. I sought to have it destroyed, and in doing so, had the curse of "all the world's evil" placed upon me.


( He cannot imagine Acht would be happy about him destroying the grail upon his return, but. He'll cross that bridge when he gets there. )
stresspoint: (pic#16895933)

[personal profile] stresspoint 2024-02-23 04:17 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's some context missing from all of that, lost in unfamiliar terms and unspoken details. Nanami gets the basics, as all conflicts are ultimately complicated and driven by human greed, so hearing about yet another conflict doesn't really surprise him. It's probably a sad issue for every world.]

So you were cursed by that item. If it contains a god, it's probably not so easy to destroy.
