▷ DOWN TIME / NETWORK MINGLE #2

▶ 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.

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

Bakugō Katsuki 💥 Boku no Hero Academia 💥 Everlight

[blastedass]

Bakugō Katsuki
17 / Male / Everlight 008
HEIGHT: 172cm (5'7½")
BODY COUNT: What the fuck?!
IDEAL DATE: Nothing lame, sappy, or boring.

[Auto Generated Profile]
Name: Bakugō Katsuki
Hero Name: Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight
A Pro Hero in training from U.A. High School. Aggressive, loud-mouthed, rude, and competitive, Bakugo uses his natural genius, physical prowess, and Explosion Quirk, to set himself apart as one of the strongest upcoming heroes in his generation. Hobbies include mountain climbing, cooking, and anything hero-related, even if he won't admit it. Currently serves as a police officer. What a blast!

💥 CHOCOLATES/PARTY.

[Would it be surprising anyone to learn Bakugo's never gotten a Valentine's before? Even if he was quite the popular guy in middle school, his intensity, arrogance, violence, and status as top dog badass really kept people away in that aspect. Plus he was known for never liking that "mushy shit" people peddled on the day.

But seeing that message on the ocular implant's screen has him seething. THIS FUCKING BITCH SYNTHIA IS AT IT AGAIN!! Last time she locked him in his damn room all because he wouldn't "talk nice" to other people! Dammit if she thinks he's going to play her stupid games again! Dead set against doing anything Valentine's Day related, and doggedly determined to avoid her invasive "punishment" once again, Bakugo can be found at the pizza party, working in the kitchen.

Flour, eggs, oil, water, sugar, cinnamon, cocoa, the contents of every single one of the boxes of chocolates he got from Synthia, and damn right he's making some quality chocolate cake to bake all of the chocolates into in one go. Okay, some are saved for decoration on the outside as he melts them down into a glaze to drizzle over the finished cake once it's done.

You can find him later sampling some pizza with the finished cake out and cut into slices on the table for anyone and everyone to partake of. Delivery = Done. No one said it had to be hand to hand with personalized notes.]

chocolates; im swerving back to the other thread ok istg but let me just—

[yoke]

[ oho, what's this?

bakugo's hard to miss anywhere—not just because they've technically worked together already from the cleaning up the city during the tsunami, but you'd have to be deaf and blind not to see, or at the very least, hear him yelling about something or someone. so, running into him at the pizza party is expected, but what wolfwood doesn't expect is the cake.

it's not store bought; he can tell just from looking at it. considering how limited ingredients can be, the fact that he decided to whip up a whole cake is pretty impressive. even if it was just a cover to get rid of the chocolates—which, honestly, is a smart idea.

he's not one for sweets (that's another blonde), but he can appreciate something homemade. ]

Not bad.

dessert before dinner, huh. i see how it is.

[blastedass]

[ironically bakugo knows more about wolfwood through commentary from vash (the guy's fucking talkative) than their brief work together during the tsunami cleanup. it was recognizing him and then putting all that nise no baka talk into the picture that gave the blonde more a readout on the guy. at least in this particular instance, bakugo's quieter than usual. he's done his duty with the damn chocolate and just wants to eat some NORMAL fucking pizza before leaving.

the ones who want to eat the cake are the ones that will make the stupid ticker in his ocular go down. bakugo knows the ingredients can be limited so he's gotten these particular ones from different sources so as to not strain any one place. he could've substituted things too... used applesauce or mayonnaise for certain replacements, but those are even more "fancy" than the basic ingredients. just not as in high demand, so it's a six of one half dozen of the other situation.

anyways. eat it. or admire it. bakugo glances up from his pizza bite, finding wolfwood looking at the cake.]

It goes in your mouth.

[seaurchin]

They wrote a pretty flattering one for you.

[ other people seem to be being made fun of. ]

[blastedass]

Cause I'm awesome and they're scared of me.

[Go on, rub his ego more.] Text

[seaurchin]

I don't think it's that ...

[ megumi why must you be so honest, let him have this ]

They're invested in finding you a match.

[blastedass]

You got a better suggestion, Uni Hair?

[one tht's not going to get megumi killed on sight?]

I'm not playing that bitch's shit games.

[seaurchin]

[ uni hair ........ not the first time he's been called something similar to that. ]

They must think you'll calm down if you do.

[blastedass]

[gee, wonder why.]

I'M ALWAYS CALM AND RATIONAL, YOU SEA URCHIN PUNK!!

[seaurchin]

You're using capslock at me...

[ or whatever the japanese equivalent of that is ]

[blastedass]

WOW, YOU CAN FUCKING READ!!

[seaurchin]

[ sigh ... Maybe he should change the topic ]

Were you looking for a date?

[blastedass]

I owe you for getting me outta my damn room.

[seaurchin]

[ he definitely wasn't expecting Bakugo to return the favour...

Though going by the flow of the conversation ]

You're asking me on a date?

throws a match into a powder keg

[saudadist]

❤

aggressive, loud, rude, competitive...

pomeranians can be heroes?

[ She's been swiping right just to be insufferable so why not one more? ]

this will go explosively

[blastedass]

WHAT'D YOU FUCKIN SAY?!

alakablam

[saudadist]

you can read, can't you?

[ But as a visual aid, she sends this on over. ]

waff waff

[blastedass]

[Some people just don't get what a damn threat is!!]

Shove it and die!

[WHO IS THIS WHACKJOB?!]

[saudadist]

been there and done that

take it easy, Pom-chan

[blastedass]

You fucking failed at it then!

[saudadist]

well yeah, usually it's counterproductive to succeed at that kind of thing

[blastedass]

You got something to say to me or you just talking shit for the hell of it?

[saudadist]

just thought the profile was interesting

if seemingly overwritten

[blastedass]

It's fucking amazing. What's wrong with your eyes?

[Granted it's far more factual than the farces a lot of Outsiders got. he's probably lucky in that regard.]

[saudadist]

Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight"...

how are you an explosion god if you can't instantly cook a chicken by slapping it?

[ girl wtf ]
