▷ 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.)

Raidou Kuzunoha XIV | Devil Summoner | Everlight

[the_fourteenth]

Kuzunoha Raidou XIV
17 / Male / Everlight #012
HEIGHT: 175cm/5'7.5"
BODY COUNT: 0
IDEAL DATE: [TEXT AUTOGENERATED FROM PERSONALITY ASSESSMENT] Subject is physically active, enjoying kendo, ice skating, and an increasing interest in team sports. Would most likely enjoy a cafe trip for coffee and pastries. Enjoys literature about myths, legends, and the occult; fiction genres of drama, action, romance. These could ideally translate to film genres as well. Subject is introverted and slightly socially stunted; someone who can take initiative could be a good match.

[TEXT IMPORTED FROM SUBJECT DATA ENTRY FILE] Raised since birth to be the protector of the Capital of Japan, to save it from existential and demonic threats. Has given up his own identity to take up the title of Raidou Kuzunoha XIV. Commands demons as allies as well as exterminating those who would hurt humans. Works as a part-time detective on "unusual cases" that involves supernatural problems. An unparalleled swordsman. Makes a great cup of coffee.

▶ Chocolate
[Raidou isn't even going to look at his profile until if/when anyone comments on it. For now, he's blissfully unaware of the embarrassment it contains.

Sometime between cooking everyone dinner and serving it, he'll take a break thanks to others who have stepped in so he can take care of this pointless task. He's only recently learned what Valentine's Day even is, and even he thinks this lacks any real specialness to it. If everyone is being coerced into handing these out to each other, where's the heart?

When he approaches you, it's with the usual Raidou flatness in his voice and expression, chocolates being handed your way.]

I'm sure you've gotten many of these, but, why not one more?

[saudadist]

❤

let's go to a cat cafe

[the_fourteenth]

[Excuse him for a moment while he's mortified.]

I didn't write this

[saudadist]

so that's a no then?

[ you mean she has to go do things by herself?? ]

[the_fourteenth]

[He's heard some kids at school talking about the cat cafe, and his interested was definitely piqued.]

Actually I would like to visit it sometime.

[saudadist]

[ There's a ping in his implant. Coordinates, complete with a series of customer reviews, pictures of the place, etc. ]

this is where it is
I guess let me know when you want to go
I don't have much else to do

[eyescar]

❤

do you wanna go see a movie johei

[the_fourteenth]

[He is so mortified help]

Please know I did not write this

[...

...

...]


Okay

[eyescar]

yeah!!
well mine was pretty bad too, so it's okay
i take initiative, though, so are we a good match?

[the_fourteenth]

[THIS IS SO MUCH]

Are they talking about

[...

...

...]

Is this some sort of thing for date matchmaking

[eyescar]

huh?
what

IS IT

JOHEI I DIDN'T MEAN TO ASK YOU ON A DATE UNLESS YOU WANT IT TO BE ONE BUT IT WASN'T INTENTIONAL

[nutkick]

✖

... you fight devils?

[the_fourteenth]

[That X takes the pressure off. Thank god.]

That's correct. It was my main duty back home.

[nutkick]

[ ikr. ]

what kind of devils have you met?

[the_fourteenth]

Many. Too many to ever count.

Normally I would have those that are my allies with me to summon, but they didn't come with me when LILITH brought me here.

Are you a summoner? Or something similar?

[nutkick]

i know about devils, but i have a feeling we're talking about two different worlds here.

are you saying you can kill one?

✖

[seaurchin]

You gave up your own identity?

[the_fourteenth]

Yes. In order to take the position and be granted the privilege of carrying my clan's sword, it is necessary to prioritize the safety of the city and its people over your own desires. You have to be willing to risk everything.

[seaurchin]

And that was something you wanted to do as well?

[the_fourteenth]

Yes. Earning a title is a great honor among summoners, and Is been training for it my whole life. I knew what had to be done to take the position up.

[seaurchin]

Raidou, right? You're friends with Itadori.

[blastedass]

❤

[Look just shut the fuck up and don't mention the damn heart. Consider it a check box for approval or something. You don't X a guy you've given two baths to.]

Ice skating?

[the_fourteenth]

[Getting those hearts felt like so much pressure. How do people do this regularly?!]

You would go?

[blastedass]

[DON'T ASK HIM! IF HE WAS GOING TO COMMENT, HE HAD TO PICK A FUCKING BUTTON!]

Are you asking?

[the_fourteenth]

Are you?

[This is going nowhere. Sorry Bakugo, today has been a day and he's very flustered. Now he's more flustered.]

The rink is near the shrine. I go there some nights after I get done with my volunteer shift around 1700. That's where I'll be.

[The ball is in Bakugo's court now.]
